Your Highness Gets Disease

C69 There is a problem with the calming incense

After such a huge incident, Liu Er did not dare to hide it, and the servants in the residence also did not dare to hide it.

When Qian Yexun received the news, he immediately rushed back to his residence.

"Has the wangfei really never gone out?"

No matter how big the residence was, it was only this big. It was impossible for a living person to disappear without a trace without a reason.

Furthermore, Ban Xia still had martial arts, even if she met with some bad people, she should still be able to retaliate and deal with them. She would definitely not be easily subdued by anyone, unless there was only one possibility, and that was to secretly plot and sneak attack.

"Esteemed wangfei really did not go out. From yesterday afternoon to today, all the people that were on duty in the residence have been questioned and no one has seen Esteemed wangfei walk out."

The guards in charge of rotation in the residence were all people that Qian Yexun could trust, so there wouldn't be any problems.

Thus, their statements were absolutely true.

"In that case, the Esteemed wangfei was lost in an official's residence …" Zhang Liang had a bad premonition, he looked at his wife and asked her a serious question, "When did you realise that the Esteemed wangfei had disappeared?"

Only then did Liu Er's trembling body recount in detail the process of him discovering that the Esteemed wangfei was gone.

"In other words, when I was at the Esteemed wangfei, I had never come out?"

The servant standing at the side nervously nodded his head.

"This old servant had originally wanted to go call Esteemed wangfei, but Esteemed wangfei doesn't need brunch at times, and the Empress is still breathing after waking up. If she doesn't sleep well and gets disturbed by anyone, she will lose her temper … Thus, this old servant did not call Esteemed wangfei in the end, and thought that he would come out when Esteemed wangfei wakes up. "

Qian Yexun glared at the person named in displeasure. This was a servant whom he had found in the Banyan City after moving into his residence.

The old woman knew that she was in a serious situation. She was so scared that her face turned pale and she quickly kneeled down on the ground with a thump.

"Your highness, it's all this old servant's fault. When this old servant should have been a brunch, I would have gone to call for Esteemed wangfei. Perhaps at that time, Esteemed wangfei was still here …"

Now, even the exact time of disappearance of the Esteemed wangfei could not be determined.

Qian Yexun was furious, but the last bit of reason he had was to get angry at the servants, and even discipline the servants, but it would not help him in any way, for the most important thing to do was to find Ban Xia.

Even if he couldn't find Ban Xia now, he had to at least figure out what kind of situation Ban Xia was in. Was she in danger?

Calm down, he needed to calm down now.

Because if even he wasn't calm enough, then no one here could help him or help Ban Xia anymore.

Qian Yexun directly entered the inner room, which was where Ban Xia stayed the most.

Everything in the room was normal. There were no signs of a fight, and all the furnishings were in their original positions.

The wooden windows were also tightly shut, and there were no signs of a broken window.

Zhang Liang also followed him in. He knew that Master must be looking for clues, so he was not idle at this time. He also tried his best to find useful clues.

Qian Yexun checked everything in the room, and didn't find anything useful, just when he was about to collapse in despair, he found the censer in the corner.

There was still some dust in the incense burner, so he carefully took a whiff. There really was an extremely light fragrance in the room.

"Hadn't the Princess used very little incense before? The incense in this censer, what's going on? " He had no choice but to focus his skeptical gaze on the incense once again.

"Your Highness, this censer was brought in from the outer room. It's true that the wangfei rarely uses incense, but these few days, wangfei didn't sleep very well, so she ordered this old servant to buy some incense to calm the spirits. These Calming Spirit Incense s can help her sleep."

"These few days, when exactly did it start?" Qian Yexun didn't know about this at all.

He didn't like incense, and she rarely did.

It should be when the barbarians started to invade again. The Princess was probably worried about the prince and also worried about the situation in the city, so it would be hard for her to sleep peacefully. However, the incense wasn't lit in a day or two.

The incense bought by the servants were all ordinary Calming Spirit Incense.

"Then the incense you lit last night had the usual incense, is that the same?" Qian Yexun did not want to miss any clues.

The servant thought seriously for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and hurriedly replied, "The incense given to the princess last night is really the same as the one from the previous nights, not a batch. When the princess first asked for the Calming Spirit Incense, I didn't buy many, and after lighting them, I went out to buy a new one.

Qian Yexun became even more suspicious, "Where did you buy this incense, bring me there now!"

But the servant began to stammer, "Your Highness …" This incense was bought from a stall. From the looks of it, the stall owner should be a peddler who travels through the countryside. Of course, it's also possible that he came from a foreign place, so it's hard to say. However, if we search the market now, we might not even be able to find him. "

It turned out that the servants were greedy for cheap goods, so they went to the stall to buy Calming Spirit Incense.

"Damn it!" Maybe there's a problem with this Calming Spirit Incense. Zhang Liang, bring her to the stall owner right now and capture this king when you meet his. This king wants to personally interrogate her. "

The servant was frightened even more. She had been greedy for such a cheap price, she must not let that cheap Calming Spirit Incense cause such a disaster.

There were quite a few stalls selling miscellaneous goods and rouge water powder s in the market. However, after walking around a few times, the servant shook his head, "No, there's no such stall."

The worst was finally happening.

"Look carefully, did you miss anything?" Zhang Liang was worried too.

The disappearance of the wangfei was not a small matter. His master was already in a hurry.

"No, really, that's just a new face." The servant was also on the verge of tears.

In the residence, Qian Yexun did not stop, he just squatted in front of the incense burner and looked at the ashes, then suddenly thought of something. If he could not find the stall, and if the Calming Spirit Incense did not have a problem, it would take him a while to find it, but if he found an expert, to test the ashes, then, he should be able to figure out if there were other materials added to the Calming Spirit Incense.

There was a special spice master for making incense in the Banyan City. Without further ado, Qian Yexun wrapped up some of the incense and gave it to one of his subordinates. Then, he bent down and whispered into his subordinate's ears.

When Zhang Liang went back, he did not bring back any useful information or clues.

"First, lock this servant up for the time being. Whether this matter is related to her or not, we need to further investigate. If we find out that she is not related to this matter, then we can release her. If she is involved in betraying her master, she should have a taste of the consequences!"

Qian Yexun was in a terrible spot, this subordinate had to be locked up to supervise the situation.

On the other hand, his other subordinate had made new progress.

After the spice master's inspection, it was discovered that the scented ashes that they brought along were indeed mixed with spices, and in normal Calming Spirit Incense s, they were added spices that would easily cause others to fall asleep.

"Something is wrong, something is wrong …" With the addition of the Calming Spirit Incense, it would only make them easily fall asleep, it was not like they would disappear without a trace.

"There must be something wrong with this house. We must have yet to discover something. Check it again and don't let go of any corner!" The more Qian Yexun thought about it, the weirder it became.

The interior of the room had been thoroughly turned upside down.

Now that he had his suspicions, this inspection was even more thorough.

"Mistress, please come and look at this place. The cracks in the bricks here are a little different from the ones in the other areas." Zhang Liang suddenly found something strange in the corner.

Even though he didn't know if this was a problem or not, he still didn't want to let it go.

Qian Yexun also noticed that the cracks on the bricks were obviously different from the others. Furthermore, there were traces of loosening up as well, as they were previously covered by a floor mat, no one noticed anything strange under the floor mat.

He tapped a few times with his fingers, but the sound was not dull.

"Pry out these bricks!"

Qian Yexun had a faint feeling that there was something fishy going on.

The top layer of the brick had been completely cleared, revealing a hole underneath.

"Why is there a hole in there? We've never seen anything like this before... " Zhang Liang's expression changed greatly.

Qian Yexun made a gesture to be the first to jump down to investigate the situation, but Zhang Liang was the first to stop his master.

"Mistress, let him go!"

The situation inside the cave was unclear. What if it was a trap? Wouldn't they be ambushed or framed by someone with ulterior motives if they let their master go down like this?

Zhang Liang jumped down without hesitation. Originally, the narrow entrance could only fit one person, but after entering the cave, Zhang Liang realised that it was a different world inside, it was not as narrow as the one he saw above.

He walked along the tunnel for a long time.

Luckily, he had a fire piston on him when he jumped down, but it was quickly about to be used up. However, he still couldn't see the end of this passage.

Qian Yexun waited on the ground, waiting for his subordinates to return.

Just as he was about to jump down to check for himself, Zhang Liang had already returned.

"What's going on inside? Did you find the princess?" Qian Yexun asked anxiously.

Zhang Liang was still standing at the bottom of the hole, with a serious look on his face, he replied, "Master, this passage is very long, I've remembered the steps we have taken along the way. Based on the number of steps we have taken, I'm afraid …"

He had only said half of it, and he was still hesitating whether he should speak the remaining half.

This would become a great secret that shocked even him when he realized it.

"What's there to be afraid of? Tell me the truth now. Since when have you become so mischievous that you're not like a man?" Qian Yexun was anxious, but his subordinate was still stuttering.
