Tell the lord, the princess has climbed the wall

Chapter 78 The princess is gone

"What's wrong with this little palace lady? What's wrong with you?" Zuo Mu was reprimanding, when a curious voice came from behind him.

Zuo Mu turned his head, and saw Wei Zhaoran arriving at some time, standing behind him with a gossip face.

"Where have you been? Didn't you just promise to wait here? Why haven't I seen you for a long time?" Zuo Mu's tone of training has not yet reversed, and even used the tone of an elder to Wei Zhaoran.

"Oh, auntie, can't I be wrong? Don't be angry."

Wei Zhaoran reacted quickly this time, and quickly pulled Zuo Mu and explained,

"Actually, it's not my fault that I missed the appointment. It's the girl Shan'er. I overheard the discussion over there just now. Princess Naqi is going to perform a flying dance for a while. In a rage, she insisted on withdrawing the painting and talking about it." What guqin, no, I took her to Qinyun Pavilion to borrow the piano."

"Qinyun Pavilion? Where is it?"

"It's the palace where Tan Guiren, who was very popular some time ago, lived. He is best at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. On the day I was born, he accompanied the emperor with his big belly. He gave me a painting, which is considered a kind of friendship.

It's not that Shan'er wants to use the piano, I accompanied her to borrow it.

However, it was only after I went there that I found out that Tan Guiren's child was lost yesterday, and it was still a formed male fetus.
What's even more exasperating is that when the maid serving her saw that she had lost power, she immediately turned her face away and left her out for a whole day with the excuse that she was not feeling well. .

I can't help it, seeing her crying is really sad, after Shan'er left, I left a few words of comfort..."

After explaining for a long time, Wei Zhaoran didn't intend to look up at the sky, and hurriedly dragged Zuo Mu to the gazebo where the banquet was held.
"What happened, what happened, the birthday banquet is about to start, let's not talk about it, anyway, you don't know this nobleman Tan, I will tell you about this ruthlessness when I am free someday."

As soon as he entered the palace, Zuo Mu sighed lightly, "That's right, there are too many poor people in the world, so don't be in a hurry for this moment."

The two of them were about to rush back, but Zuo Mu suddenly thought of something, turned around inadvertently, and found that the little maid was still kneeling obediently, "I said, what's the matter with you? What are you still kneeling here for? Aren't you going to find the little princess?"

"You... Didn't you let the servant get up?" The little maid replied tremblingly.

Zuo Mu stroked his forehead, and was speechless for a moment, where did Empress Xu find such a hard-headed court lady? "What time is this? You still care about these things. Hurry up and go in, and then you will suffocate the little girl."

"I said, why does this little palace lady look so familiar? Is the little princess Yu'er? She also dragged you to hide and seek. This little girl is really, she doesn't find it annoying to pull someone to play this game all day long. As soon as Wei Zhaoran heard the conversation between the two, he immediately understood what was going on, pointed at the little palace maid and ordered, "Hurry up and find someone, be careful that Yu'er fell asleep inside like last time, and you haven't found anyone yet." , Nanny Cui will beat you half to death later."

"Yes, thank you Concubine Kang, thank you Princess Zhaoran." The little maid said, and wanted to make a series of thanks again, but was interrupted mercilessly by Wei Zhaoran with a big hand.

"Go, go, chattering, I can't stand it!"

"Follow... obey!" The little maid finally got up with relief, and ran around the flowers to the artificial cave.

Here Zuo Mu also followed Wei Zhaoran to the gazebo where the banquet was held in a hurry. Seeing that he had reached the end of the path, he turned around a few pavilions and could see the gazebo. Suddenly, he heard several mournful voices behind him. "Princess, princess, are you all right?"

Zuo Mu was startled, and exchanged a glance with Wei Zhaoran.

"No, something happened to Sima Yu!" The two reacted at the same time, turned around and ran back at the same time.

Like a gust of wind, he ran to Begonia Lace, and bumped into the person who came out of the fake cave head-on.

"Where's Yu'er? What's wrong with him?" Zuo Mu asked anxiously, pointing to the pale little maid.

"Concubine Kang... Concubine Kang, Princess Zhaoran, our little princess is gone, and there is no one in the cave, what should we do? What should we do?" The little palace maid knelt down in front of the two of them, choking with sobs.

"What's going on? You clearly entered the fake cave just now? Why didn't you disappear?" Zuo Mu said, bypassing the little maid and walking straight to the fake cave.

Wei Zhaoran, who was behind, also picked up the little maid, and followed closely, "Are you lazy again, and didn't look for it carefully, did you miss any corners?"

But when the two entered the cave, they were instantly dumbfounded.

I saw that the cave in front of me was just a square area the size of a palm, and I could see clearly at a glance. There was no shadow of Sima Yu anywhere, let alone any leaks.

"Kang... Concubine Kang, please think about it again. Could it be that our princess didn't go into the cave at all, but went somewhere else?" The little maid finally came to her senses and pulled Zuo Mu's skirt impatiently asked, hoping to find other clues.

"It's impossible. I saw her come around the crabapple bushes with my own eyes. This path only leads to the entrance of this cave, and the front is blocked by rockery. There is no other place for her to go." Zuo Mu looked carefully. Looking at the cave, he denied it without hesitation.

"Then is it possible that when we spoke just now, the little girl sneaked out and went somewhere else?" Wei Zhaoran walked to the entrance of the cave, looked around the surrounding environment, and thought about the problem.

"It's even more impossible. From the beginning to the end, I stood on the path in front of the flowers. Even if I talked to you, I never left that place. Yu'er wanted to go out, and there were flowers beside me. This is the only way to go. It's so big. Alone, how could our three pairs of eyes fail to see her." Zuo Mu said, and began to use his hands to tentatively knock on the surrounding rockery walls.

"But, the little princess has no other way out, and she didn't run out. Where did she go?" The little palace maid was so frightened that she was completely bewildered, and asked with a mournful face.

"Everyone, don't worry, and then look carefully. How could such a large rockery have only such a small cave? There must be something wrong with this cave."

While analyzing, Zuo Mu knocked on the rockery wall inch by inch without giving up.

"Bang bang bang... bang bang bang..." Sure enough, the sound of a cave was different from other places.

"This wall is empty, everyone, look for it, is there any mechanism around here?"

"Impossible, it's just a cave. The slaves and the little princess have come to play every day these days. There will be no traps."

Seeing that all hopes had been sealed by Zuo Mu, the little maid simply sat down on the ground with her buttocks ashamed.
"Now that our little princess has disappeared out of thin air, the empress will definitely skin her servants if she finds out.
