The Proud Prince and the Arrogant Princess

"It's not right for them to do that, but it's not that I'm going there for them. It's just that this matter is so widespread that I have to go and take a look since I have an informant. "It's fine, I'll be right back." Xue Luoyun said as he left with Lady Zhao.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Xue Ruyun, Yun Zhi was worried about her safety. After wandering around for a while, she suddenly had an idea. "That's right, hurry up and find the prince!"

Yun Zhi said as she ran off into the distance.

Mu Sheng was extremely busy with his men, women, and children.

Since he came here, many of the village's men, women, and children had come to help. Mu Sheng did not smile, but his rallying power was strong. No matter what he did, whether it was leading the troops to war or channeling the water, everyone was willing to follow him.

This was especially true for the young and beautiful women in the village. They all came to help when they saw Mu Ying's handsome appearance and admired him for a long time. There were also many old people who did not know Mu Sheng's identity and only thought that he was a warm-hearted young man who enthusiastically introduced him to girls.

Towards this, Mu Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The villagers were all passionate, and these girls were all simple and kind countryside girls. Mu Sheng couldn't bear to hurt them, so he only treated them politely.

"Young Master Mu, come and drink a cup of water." Several young women were pushing each other, and one of them passed water over boldly.

"Oh, thank you." Mu Ying politely smiled as he received the bottle of water.

"Young Master Mu, Young Master Mu!" This is bad! " Yun Zhi lifted her skirt and waved at Mu Ying from a distance before she ran over.

Mu Rong Zhan put down the water. Seeing Yun Zhi's panicked expression and seeing that there was no Xue Luoyun behind his, he started to worry.

"If something hadn't happened to Xue Muyun." Mu Ying threw down the things in his hands and hurried forward.

When everyone saw this woman run towards Mu Ying, they all thought that she was Mu Ying's sweetheart from the looks of her as if she was very familiar with him. Looking at her beautiful and delicate appearance, many women were ashamed and sad. What he didn't know was that this was only a maid who was accompanying his fiancée.

"Your Highness, this isn't good."

"What's wrong? "Why are you in such a hurry?" Mu Ying wiped his hands with a wet handkerchief.

"Your highness, the Madam came just now to swindle the little miss away." Yun Zhi whispered.

"What trick?" "What's going on?" Hearing this, Mu Ying immediately became anxious and hurriedly left with Yun Zhi.

On the way, Yun Zhi recounted the situation to Mu Ying in detail. Mu Sheng frowned. It seemed this matter wouldn't be that simple. Xue Luoyun was most adept at distinguishing between people. If she decided to go, then this matter would definitely be true.

The two of them spoke as they walked towards the county magistrate.

When Xue Ruyun arrived at the room, he saw that Xue Duan Sheng and the other constables had already inspected the room in detail, searching for any clues.

Xue Ruyun looked around the two rooms. He saw that Xue Lian's painting room was very neat and tidy. Apart from her, there wasn't anything else that had been lost inside.

On the contrary, Xue Shaoli's room was very messy. There seemed to be traces of struggling inside, as if she had resisted when she was kidnapped.

"Did you find anything?" Xue Ruyun asked the constable.

"No, the constable shook his head."

Upon seeing them come out, he walked into the house and carefully examined them.

At this moment, something red could be seen in the window. Although it was very similar in color to the vermilion window, Xue Luoyun still discovered the difference. This was because most people would not be able to see through the reflection from the sun to this place.

Xue Ruyun walked over and lightly rubbed it, but he didn't expect his hand to be stained with something red.

"What is this? Could it be blood? " Xue Duan Sheng went forward and asked in a trembling voice. Xue Ruyun brought his hand up to his nose and sniffed. "It should be something like cinnabar."

"Cinnabar, why would there be such a thing on it?" Xue Duan Sheng calmed down and asked.

"I think it was on a woman's lips. I can see that she was struggling very hard at that time." Xue Luoyun guessed.

"Oh, what happened to my poor daughter?" When Mrs Zhao heard Xue Luoyun's speculation, she couldn't stop crying.

Xue Ruyun examined the window and looked outside. Outside was a forest, overgrown with weeds. It seemed like he had not taken care of it during normal times.

Xue Ruyun continued to inspect the interior of the house. After finding nothing, he went from the front door to the back, returning to the window and continuing to inspect.

She pushed through the grass and saw a shallow footprint under the window. Xue Ruyun estimated that if an ordinary person jumped down while carrying a person, their feet wouldn't be so shallow. It seemed that this person's Qing Gong was not bad. No wonder so many young people were captured in this section of the city. So the person who caught them was actually a martial arts expert.

After carefully searching through the window once more and imagining that he was the murderer, Xue Ruoyun slowly walked forward, passing through the forest and heading towards the distance.

Xue Duan Sheng and the others saw that she was focused and didn't want to interrupt her thoughts, so they allowed her to do as she pleased.

"Look around again." Xue Duan Sheng walked out the door as he spoke.

Just as he walked out, he bumped into Mu Ying who was rushing in. When Mu Ying saw that it was Xue Duan Sheng, he suddenly grabbed him by the neck in anger. "Where did Xue Ruyun go!? Where did you get her! "

"Your highness, your highness …" Xue Duan Sheng, who was being held by the neck, was unable to speak, so he could only point towards the outside of the window.

Mu Sheng looked at the empty room. There was no one there. Even through the window, there was no one there. Thinking that Xue Duan Sheng had conspired with the Zhao Clan to frame Xue Lao Yun, he was enraged to the point that he tossed Xue Duan Sheng to the side and fiercely smashed his sword onto the table.

"When I'm not around, you guys actually framed her. If anything happens to her today, I will definitely have you guys accompany her in death!" Mu Sheng said harshly.

Xue Duan Sheng and the others didn't know what was going on. They were so shocked that they didn't dare breathe loudly, and the air seemed to have become still.

"What is it?" When Xue Ruyun heard the commotion, he popped his head out the window and looked at everyone inside with a serious expression. He asked in confusion.

"Ah, you, are you alright?" When Mu Ying saw that Xue Ruyun had suddenly appeared, he was so happy that he immediately hugged her like he was holding a treasure he had lost.

"Where did you go?" "You gave me a fright." Mu Yong asked worriedly as he kissed Xue Ruyun's hair.

"I was just checking outside the forest to see if there were any clues." Xue Ruyun's head was full of fog as he looked at Mu Ying's expression, he didn't understand what was going on.

"Oh, it's good that you're fine." It was a black dragon. Embarrassed, Mu Sheng sat down.

Xue Luoyun walked in, and when he saw everyone's expressions, and also saw Yun Zhi, he immediately understood. It must have been Yun Zhi who had gone to inform him that she had been killed. Only then did Mu Ying rush over in a fluster, venting his anger.

Seeing that Xue Duan Sheng and the others were still kneeling, he didn't understand, so he hurriedly hinted to Mu Sheng to get them to their feet.

"Why are there people getting caught again? How did you become a county magistrate? This is so infuriating for This King." Mu Ying casually found an excuse to berate Xue Duan Sheng for his incompetence. He covered up the reason behind his anger.

Xue Duan Sheng was smart and smart. He had been a government official for many years and was best at observing people's words and expressions. Thus, he could tell that Mu Sheng had made a mistake and misunderstood him. He did not expose him and said, "This official knows, this official knows. "The investigation is now under way."

Mu Rong Zhan returned to his serious expression and asked seriously, "Have you found anything after searching for half a day?"

"Not yet." Xue Duan Sheng said in a low voice, afraid of being punished.

"You!" Hearing that there were no clues, Mu Sheng's face turned increasingly cold.

"Actually, it's not like I got nothing. I just found this outside." Xue Ruyun walked in front of Mu Rong Hao and opened his palm, revealing a white powder in his palm.

"What is this?" Mu Yong twisted a little with two fingers and rubbed them with the tips of his fingers. Then, he sniffed the air and smelled a faint fragrance.

"This is a powder commonly used by females. When applied to their bodies, not only will their skin be bright white, it will also be able to emit a faint fragrance." Xue Luoyun explained.

"Oh." Mu Sheng awkwardly wiped his hands clean.

"Where did you find this?"

"Just now in the forest. Not far from the window. " Xue Luoyun said.

She had been walking along the jungle in front of her, and had finally found the small amount of white powder by smelling it.

"Why is Xue Shaoli's powder here?"

"From the disarray in the room to the lipstick on the window, plus powdered incense. My guess is that Xue Shaoli was taken this morning. " Xue Luoyun speculated.

"Because she woke up rather early, she might have been dressing up, so when she was caught, she was awake. Thus, when she struggled, her lips were pressed against the window." Xue Duan Sheng speculated.

"Right, Xue Shaoli has always been smart. She must have taken out the scented powder from her body after being captured and wanted to leave us with some clues." Xue Luoyun said.

"Then quickly follow the clues to save our daughter." After Madame Zhao heard this, she pushed Xue Duan Sheng to urge him.

"Let go, what a shame." Xue Duan Sheng reprimanded the Zhao Clan in rage, and he lost his composure like this in front of the Prince.

"Can you listen to what's said first?" Xue Duan Sheng rolled his eyes at the Zhao Clan.

"I followed this powder all the way up, but it had just rained. The smell dispersed very quickly and the smell became fainter as it went outside. Finally, the clue was cut off." Xue Ruyun said in disappointment.

"Then what should we do?" Mrs Zhao asked in despair.

"Go back to your room first. I'll take care of this place. Don't cause any more trouble." Xue Duan Sheng heard that the Zhao Clan sighing here affected her mood and hurriedly got someone to help her return to her room.

"Logically speaking, the mansion is heavily guarded, so how could they be taken away so easily?" Mu Ying asked.

"This …" Hearing him say this, Xue Duan Sheng felt slightly ashamed. After all, he was the one who had failed at the job, and now even his own daughter had been taken away.

"This cult stopped for a while and started to get wild again. They even captured people to come to the government this time. It seems like they had a plan in mind." Xue Luoyun sat down, tapping his fingers as he spoke.

"But why are only the two daughters of Master being captured this time?" Xue Luoyun asked himself, sensing something.

"Because during this period of time, the young people have gone to work with the prince, and at night the king has also ordered the dark guards and the police to patrol everywhere, so they didn't have the opportunity to make a move." Grand Master guessed.

"In that case, the magistrate court should be the one to make the move …" Mu Ying asked.

"This is bad!" Xue Luoyun and Mu Ying shouted at the same time.
