The black-bellied prime minister's red makeup

Chapter 73 Liu Xiaoran Missing

When Shen Qingnan returned to the mansion, it was already the morning of the second day. When she returned, she found that the servants who were supposed to be busy everywhere at this time could not see anyone at all, and the whole mansion was extremely empty and quiet.

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw Butler Zhou walking out of the main hall.Seeing Shen Qingnan, Steward Zhou's face turned pale, and the footsteps that were walking towards this direction froze for a moment.

Puzzled even more, Shen Qingnan walked over and asked, "Housekeeper, what's going on? Where are the people in the mansion?"

"Prime Minister, I..." Because I was afraid of the butler, my face was as pale as paper, and my body trembled uncontrollably.

After a moment of silence, he felt that he couldn't hide it. He suddenly knelt down and lowered his head and said, "Prime Minister, it's the slave who is incompetent. The slave lost Mr. Liu."

"What! Did you lose Young Master Liu?"

Xiaoran lost?What does lost mean?
Knocking his head to the ground in fear, Housekeeper Zhou tremblingly said: "Forgive me, Prime Minister, Mr. Liu left the mansion not long after the Prime Minister left yesterday, I thought he would come back soon, so I didn't care, but who knew that until late at night Mr. Liu has not come back. The people in the mansion are servants who ordered them to go out to find someone."

Shen Qingnan listened to every word Steward Zhou said, her hands clenched 'cluck', and she shouted angrily like thunder, "Why didn't you send someone to the palace to inform me last night?"

"Prime Minister, atonement, slave, I dare not. I know how important Mr. Liu is to the prime minister, and I thought it would be good to find him before you come back, but..."

"Prime Minister, I'm going to the Prince Xuan's mansion to borrow troops to find Mr. Liu." Lu Ru who was on the side said that and was about to run out.

"Wait." Stopping her, Shen Qingnan looked at her with scrutiny.

Whether it was Xiaoran being robbed for the first time or not seeing Luru this time, he seemed to be very worried and nervous, especially this time, he didn't even think about going to Xuanwang's mansion to borrow troops to save people.

But she knew that she had been rejected by King Xuan once, and she would definitely be rejected again if she went to borrow soldiers this time, but even knowing why she still didn't even think about going to borrow soldiers?There is only one reason, that is, she never went to borrow soldiers last time.Because I haven't borrowed it, I haven't been rejected, so I don't realize the consequences of borrowing troops this time.

But she didn't understand, why didn't she really borrow troops when Xiaoran was robbed last time?Is it because she feels that King Xuan won't give it to her even if she borrows it, or she doesn't want Xiaoran to be rescued at all, or is she trying to secretly provoke her relationship with Xia Hanming?
The first assumption should be impossible. How could she make a decision based on her own thoughts when the situation was so urgent.Then the second and third hypotheses are possible.

She doesn't want Xiaoran to be rescued?Why?Since Xiaoran entered the prime minister, the two have never had any conflicts, so it should not be because of revenge, and from the daily relationship, not only does Luru not hate Xiaoran, but she listens to him very much and understands his preferences. Xiaoran likes to eat. She knows everything and obeys Xiaoran as long as she says it. Sometimes she doubts that Xiaoran is her real master and she is not.

Since the second hypothesis is also not true, only the third possibility is needed. Lu Ru secretly wants to provoke her relationship with Xia Hanming,

But she really didn't know the reason for this. Luru was just a maid, even if she, the prime minister, was at odds with Xia Hanming, she didn't need her to act, and her behavior was not to help her.

Seeing that Shen Qingnan didn't speak for a long time, Lu Ru stomped her feet anxiously and said: "Prime Minister, what are you waiting for, Mr. Liu is gone, if you don't borrow troops to find Mr. Liu now, you will be in danger."

"I know." She lowered her eyelids and thought about it for a while, she said to Lu Ru: "Now you go to borrow troops from King Xuan in my name, I will take the housekeeper and others to find them first."

"Yes."

Looking at Luru's news at the back of the mansion, Shen Qingnan called out Zheng Li: "Follow her"

She wanted to see if she really went to borrow soldiers this time or if she was just pretending like last time.

When Shen Qingnan led everyone to find it for less than half an hour, Zheng Lifan, who was following him, came back, knelt on the ground and reported to Shen Qingnan: "Lu Ru has borrowed soldiers and is now heading towards the prime minister."

"Understood, let's go down."

This time she really went to borrow soldiers, why?Why was she just pretending last time but this time she really borrowed soldiers? Could it be that her third assumption 'she wanted to secretly provoke her relationship with Xia Hanming' was also wrong?

Within half a quarter of an hour, Lu Ru and nearly a thousand elite soldiers appeared in Shen Qingnan's sight, and Xia Hanming also appeared in her sight at the same time.

He... actually came in person.

"what is the problem?"

Coming to Shen Qingnan's side, Xia Hanming asked with a frown.Just now when Lu Ru came to him, she only said that Liu Xiaoran was missing and wanted to borrow troops to find someone, because thinking of what happened last time, she was afraid it might be some kind of conspiracy, so she followed her.But seeing that Shen Qingnan is also here, it should be true.

Shen Qingnan looked at Luru at the side and said: "When I returned to the house, I found that Xiaoran had disappeared. The housekeeper said that he was gone last night. I don't know if something happened."

It would be a lie not to be in a hurry, but there were too many strange things last time, and she was afraid that this time things would not be simple.

It's just that there were witnesses when Xiaoran was robbed last time, but this time it just disappeared out of thin air. Where should I find the crowd?

Xia Hanming has always known the importance of Liu Xiaoran to Shen Qingnan, he didn't help her last time, but this time he will help her find her no matter what.

Divide everyone into one hundred teams of ten people in each team, and then everyone starts looking along the streets.
