The foolish king's marriage to the ugly concubine

Chapter 44 The Mysterious Man
Du Ruhai replied anxiously: "I've asked, but no one has seen the prince leave the mansion. At noon, the old slave served the prince for lunch. The prince has the habit of taking a nap. Today at noon, he said he wanted to rest in the gazebo for a while. In summer, when the prince is tired from playing, he will go there to rest. The old slave didn't think much about it, but when he brought tea in the afternoon, he didn't see the prince. He sent people to search the palace, but he couldn't find anyone."

"Are you sure you've searched everything?" Mu Xinran pondered for a moment. It's impossible for a fool to sneak out of the mansion under the noses of everyone. Since leaving the mansion can be ruled out, he can only stay in the mansion.

"Above the trees, under the water, have you searched these places carefully?"

Du Ruhai was shocked, thinking of Chu Xuanyu's 'fishing' by the Jasper Lake on the day of his wedding, if he is not careful, then...

"The old slave will go to Jasper Lake to have a look."

The two came to Jasper Lake. The bright moon and stars were reflected on the calm and waveless lake, and there was a special charm under the night. However, the two had no intention of admiring the scenery. Mu Xinran looked around and didn't notice other people's breath. With the prince.

Standing blindly on the shore of the lake, he couldn't see the underwater situation at all. In fact, on such a calm lake, if someone fell into the water, the result would be self-evident.

Feeling anxious, Du Ruhai called all the servants and guards in the mansion who could swim, and a dozen of them jumped into the lake to look for them, while the others carried lanterns on the shore to light up.

The Jasper Lake with a radius of one mile was like a shattered mirror, and it instantly became fragmented. More than a dozen naked-chested strong men dived into the water and searched by the dim candlelight. In one breath, he dived into the water again.

After going back and forth, after a stick of incense, there was still not a single figure of Chu Xuanyu.

Mu Xinran looked at the figure whose movements were getting slower and slower, and said in a deep voice, "Come up, everyone."

"But the prince has not been found yet."

"Are you sure the prince will be in the lake?" Mu Xinran glanced at Du Ruhai indifferently.

"Since you're not sure, why don't you think better? Do you hope to find the prince in the lake?"

Du Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head hastily.

"Princess, will the lord be in the room?" Qing'er whispered next to Mu Xinran.

"Ah, this old slave remembered, only the prince and concubine's bedrooms have not been checked in this mansion, the prince, the prince must be in the bedroom!" Du Ruhai slapped his forehead when he heard this, and shouted excitedly.

When Mu Xinran returned to the room, she saw Chu Xuanyu, whose face was covered in mud and wet all over, lying on the bed soundly asleep. She felt depressed and made the royal palace jump around.
While Du Ruhai was rejoicing, he was also worried that Mu Xinran would be angry, so he hurriedly dismissed everyone and asked someone to prepare dinner temporarily, because he was busy looking for the prince, and the kitchen didn't have time to cook dinner.At this time, in order to avoid being punished, no one dared to neglect.

Soon, the sumptuous dinner was brought to the big round table made of mahogany.Too hungry and lost her appetite, Mu Xinran took a few mouthfuls of rice and then put down her chopsticks.

Frowning, looking at the newly dressed man who was ravaging the food in the bowl, Mu Xinran stood up, walked outside and said, "Steward Du, arrange another bedroom for me."

The chopsticks collided with the porcelain bowl, making a crisp sound.

Du Ruhai was startled, and guessed that the prince had offended the concubine. Although it was against the rules, he didn't have the guts to raise an objection at the moment, so he nodded quickly: "Yes, this old servant will let someone arrange it."

Looking at the straight figure walking out of the dining room and gradually disappearing into the night, he sighed softly, staying with the princess, he had to maintain a high level of concentration at all times.

"My lord, where have you been hiding today? How did you come back covered in mud? Now that you have offended the princess, oh..."

Looking at Chu Xuanyu who was stirring the food together and knocking on the bowl with chopsticks, Du Ruhai was as helpless as an elder looking at a disobedient child.

"Dub, are you hungry? Eat?" Hearing Du Ruhai's voice, Chu Xuanpu raised her face and smiled silly. The 'delicious' rice made by him with all kinds of top-quality vegetable juices was weird. The bright color, under the illumination of the night pearl, makes people shudder.

Du Ruhai took a step back and waved again and again.

"Well, doesn't Uncle Du like the food I cook?" The smile collapsed, eyes lowered wearily, "The lady is angry with me, Uncle Du doesn't like me anymore..."

The prince is like a child, how can you refuse his kindness?Filled with self-blame, Du Ruhai took two steps forward and took the 'delicacy' carefully prepared by the prince. Seeing the pure joyful smile on the prince's face again, he immediately felt that everything was worth it!

"My lord, my concubine is just tired, and I'm not angry with you, and this old slave will not dislike you, so I'll eat it now. The lord rewards this old slave with food, and it's too late for this old slave to be happy."

Hey, the old butler was fooled by a foolish prince like this. It is estimated that Chu Xuanyu sold him, and he would only be grateful in his heart.

In the middle of the night, the bright moonlight fell, and in a remote courtyard, the magnolia flowers in the garden were bathed in the moonlight, and there seemed to be a layer of jade on the surface, shining like jade.

In the depths of the Magnolia, a tall white figure stood gracefully.

Blossoming magnolias bloomed on the white brocade robe, blending in with the surrounding environment. The cuffs and corners of the robe were trimmed with gold thread, which was extravagant and extravagant. Straight back.

A single back view is peerless.

"master."

A cold voice broke the silence.

"Do you know why I told you that you came here?" The low-mellow and melodious male voice sounded like a century-old wine.

It was clearly melodious and intoxicating, but there was a trace of cold air. Suddenly, the man in black who knelt behind the man in white shivered, and a flash of panic flashed in his cold eyes.

"This subordinate is stupid, I don't know." The man in black lowered his head even lower.

"Ah!"

An unknown tone escaped from the mouth of the man in white, and the man in black suddenly felt a tight pain in his chest, and a sense of suffocation came over him.

"It seems that Qingxie has been slack a lot recently, and she doesn't know the details of an official woman."

"It's the subordinate's fault, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Xie. Please forgive me, master." The man in black's complexion changed, his eyes flickered, his hands formed into palms, and he slashed at his chest. Pale.

Piously and in awe, he looked at the motionless man in front of him. The man in black hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Please give me half an hour, master, and my subordinate will definitely hand over all the information collected by Mu Xinran to the master."

The words fell, but there was no response from the man in front of him.

Beads of sweat ooze from the pale and hard face of the man in black, his calm eyes are gradually stained with anxiety, and the sweat is getting more and more profuse.

"It's not an example."
