Chapter 19 Miss Yin

"When the limelight wears off, we won't be so eye-catching when we go to remote villages."

The shopkeeper's words not only convinced the landlady, but also convinced himself.

While they were talking, the steamed buns were also steamed. The shopkeeper picked one up casually. After thinking about it for a while, he still felt uneasy and warned again:

"If there are officers and soldiers coming to search later, please be smarter, don't say anything then, and just leave everything to me."

"Then can I pretend to be mute?"

"No, when the officers and soldiers go to the neighboring streets to inquire about it, the secret will be exposed."

"Speaking of which, several customers saw us dispensing the medicine today. What if they report it?"

"Don't worry, they probably didn't recognize the eldest princess, otherwise they wouldn't have dared to be so presumptuous. And they definitely wouldn't dare to say anything. After all, it's illegal to come to the black market."

The shopkeeper was not too worried about this and explained.

"What's more, the royal family itself also wants to save face. Once those people report to Her Royal Highness the Princess, as a member of the royal family who takes the lead in buying such a drug for sexual intercourse on the black market, will the royal family still want to lose face?"

"I'm afraid that as soon as they finish speaking, the emperor will order them to be silenced, right? So they definitely don't dare to reveal information about this place.

"What's more, in the black market, isn't this kind of gangsterism very common? They should not suspect that the person we drugged is the person the emperor is looking for."

I have to admit that the shopkeeper is still a bit good, but not much.

The couple here are discussing countermeasures, but the palace has already exploded.

"what?!"

Helian Jingxi slapped the table angrily, and the memorials on the table rose and fell visibly to the naked eye.

In front of him, a dozen or so Yulin soldiers knelt neatly, lowering their heads and clasping their hands, waiting with bated breath.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please calm down."

"Calm down your anger. Now that the whereabouts of the emperor's sister are unknown, how should I calm down?" Helian Jingxi couldn't sit still anymore and paced back and forth, "Didn't you follow the eldest princess when you went out? What do you do for food?"

"Bang!"

It was the scream of tables and chairs falling to the ground.

This is already the fourth time.

The answer was Yuwen Nai, the Commander of the Imperial Guards of the Yulin Army. He could clearly feel his voice trembling: "This... there is no information yet..."

Helian Jingxi's eyes were red, he was furious, and yelled: "Trash! What do you mean there is no information? Please explain to me! Huh?"

Yuwen Nai was scolded so badly that she didn't even dare to say a word.

When Helian Jingxi got tired of scolding, Yuwen Nai was still kneeling on the spot. Helian Jingxi was even more annoyed, "Why are you still stunned? Send more people to check! Do you still want me to teach you personally?"

"Going from house to house, we will try our best to bring the emperor's sister back safely, do you hear me?"

"This is an imperial decree. If you can't do it, you can commit suicide."

"Yes."

Yuwen Nai originally wanted to ask whether checking people would disturb the public after it was late in the evening, but seeing the furious Helian Jingxi, he wisely did not touch the issue.

Fuck you for disturbing the public.

Yuwen Nai only knew that if the person really couldn't be found, he would most likely be buried with him.

"You know, why don't you go quickly!"

Helian Jingxi was almost crying because of his stupidity, so he stepped forward and kicked him.

Yuwen Nai crawled away with everyone.

Helian Jingxi was so anxious that he spun around in circles. Since the Chu family's banquet, he has placed many guards with high martial arts skills to take turns standing guard next to the palace of the emperor's sister.

But just now news came that the imperial sister had gone out in the morning and had not returned yet.

He knew very well that although the imperial sister had a restless personality, she would become tired after going out for an hour or two, and this would never happen.

Hence the current scene. He has mobilized almost all the imperial troops and guards in the capital to search for nearly an hour, but has made no progress.

All I know is that after the imperial sister left the Chu Mansion, she dismissed her guards and did not know where she went.

We agreed to come back and give the emperor a peaceful life, but now everyone has been lost.

At that time, he didn't know how to explain it to Fu Yanping, who was still on the front line...

"Bang~"

The fifth table and chair was kicked over by him and fell to the ground.

Another guard came over in a hurry:
  "Your Majesty, it has been found that Your Highness went outside the city."

"Outside the city?!" Helian Jingxi was inexplicably surprised and quickly ordered, "Inform the Yulin Army and immediately mobilize all manpower to search outside the city! Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to bring me the person!"

"Yes!"

After the guards left, Helian Jingxi slumped on the ground helplessly.

Chu Mansion... Chu Mansion again.

He learned at noon that Chu Chuanping had executed all the servants who might have participated in the poisoning.

It’s clear that the real murderer has already confessed his crime, so why go to all this trouble? The imperial sister must have discovered some secret and decided to go outside the city alone.

But for some reason, the uneasiness in his heart was gradually spreading and expanding.

The sun was setting outside the window, casting a dazzling orange color in the clear sky.

It was an evening with exceptionally beautiful scenery, but the shopkeeper’s family couldn’t bring themselves to appreciate it.

"Speaking of which, is the time for the effectiveness of Mi Shen Xiang to be over?" the landlady reminded uneasily.

Since it is a black market, the effectiveness of the incense is naturally longer than that of ordinary incense, but even so, it only lasts about two hours.

"Well... it should be a while," the shopkeeper estimated, looking at the height of the sun in the sky. "To be on the safe side, I'd better go to the woodshed and light Zhumi Shenxiang again."

Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the door. The landlady was so frightened that she trembled. The shopkeeper looked at her and opened the door.

"Excuse me……"

Eh?
  The person standing at the door was not the heavily armed officers and soldiers they imagined, but a veiled woman in white, with two guards in black standing on both sides of her.

The woman is Ran Ranyun's supplier in their store. Since they opened the store, the two parties have become stable trading partners.

"Hey, shopkeeper Wang closed the door early today?" The woman walked in minding her own business, and saw the gold tickets and gold ingots on the table at a glance, "What do you mean, it turns out that you have made a fortune. .”

"Ms. Yin, you're welcome. We small businessmen and hawkers only make a little money to support our families." The shopkeeper said with an apologetic smile.

"Little money?" The woman raised her eyebrows and looked at the gold on the table, then glanced at the expressions of the shopkeeper and the landlady, "The shopkeeper is really joking."

With so much gold, even as a direct lady, she had to weigh it before she could take it out. The fool also understood that today they had killed another big customer.

Maybe there is more than one.

Thinking of this, she went directly to the topic: "Here is Erjin Ran Ranyun. I will take this gold ingot. The extra money will be used as the Yin family's hush money."

As she spoke, she took out a heavy bag containing powder from her clothes, picked a gold ingot and put it into her sleeve.
