After all, Liu Dechang was a man of high moral character and respect, and the emperor was more or less considerate of his words. King Zhennan's anger was still rising, and he really couldn't accept Xiaozhi's sudden disappearance.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Liu Dechang continued to persuade:

"The child named Xiaozhi came from Prince Yu's Mansion. His habits must be clear to Prince Yu and Princess Yu. According to the old minister's opinion, they were asked to lead the palace guards and eunuchs and maids to search carefully. Waiting

Once the person is found and the reason for his sudden disappearance is known, it will not be too late to tell what is right and what is wrong."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Yu took two steps forward with a solemn expression, cupped his fists and replied:

"Father, Xiaozhi is Erchen's disciple. As General Liu said, Erchen has a very good relationship with him. Don't worry about this matter, either you or the emperor. Let us look for him. No one can be found.

, it won’t help if you fight.”

King Zhennan also calmed down the anger that had just risen. The most important thing now was to find Xiaozhi, and he could forget the rest.

After hearing this, the emperor frowned and shouted loudly to the people outside:

"Liu Wei, take all the servants in the palace and follow Prince Yu's instructions."

After Liu Wei accepted the order, he quickly went to gather everyone. Leng Yu said to the emperor again:

"Father, where is the eunuch who took Xiaozhi to the hut? I have something to ask him."

"Go find Liu Wei."

The emperor waved his hands feebly. Today was supposed to be a festive day, but unexpectedly, something like this happened. He just felt his blood rushing to his head, and his head was a little dizzy. For this matter, let me leave it to you.

Leng Yu handled it, which he couldn't ask for.

After receiving their orders, Leng Yu and Luo Lan gave a few words of comfort to King Zhennan before leaving the door of Baohe Hall.

When she came to the door, Luo Lan let out a long sigh. The suffocation accumulated in her chest made her feel like she had difficulty breathing.

She was really worried that something would happen to Xiaozhi.

Leng Yu naturally knew what she was thinking. There was a bit of gloominess between his brows, his eyes looked into the distance, and he whispered:

"I think this incident was not an accident, it must have been done by someone."

"What my husband said is that now I just hope nothing happens to Xiaozhi."

After saying this, she closed her eyes tightly, not daring to think about the bad consequences.

At this time, Liu Wei walked over quickly. He did not dare to raise his head and look directly at Leng Yu. He lowered his head, bowed and clasped his fists and said:

"Back to Prince Yu, the people have been gathered and are waiting for Prince Yu's order."

Leng Yu frowned deeply, raised his eyes and looked at him, and said through gritted teeth:

"Take us to Xiaozhi's lost toilet."

"Yes, my subordinates will go and bring the little eunuch here."

Leaving these words, he left quickly.

After a while, a group of people came to the toilet where Xiaozhi was lost. Leng Yu asked everyone to wait outside while he and Luo Lan went inside.

There doesn't seem to be anything unusual here. If you look carefully, there are no signs of a fight. Although there is a vent on it, it is eight feet high from the ground. With Xiaozhi's height, it is completely impossible to climb up.

Leng Yu looked at the vent, pointed there and whispered:

"The only exit is there, but Xiaozhi can't climb up at all. Since he agreed to come to the palace, he has no reason to climb up. So the only possibility is that he was taken away through the vent."

Hearing what Leng Yu said, Luo Lan took a few steps forward, raised his hand and touched the wall.

"This wall is as smooth as ice. Even a normal man can't climb it. How did he take Xiaozhi away from here? This seems unreasonable."

"There's nothing unreasonable about it."

Leng Yu suddenly looked at the wall opposite the vent and the corner adjacent to the ground, and said solemnly:

"Look there, there are obvious signs that someone has cleaned it. If you look carefully, you can still see signs of heavy objects being left behind."

Hearing what he said, Luo Lan knelt down and looked carefully at the corner. Suddenly she suddenly realized and said:

"You mean, someone left a ladder here?"

Leng Yu raised the ends of his eyes and said with narrowed eyes, "Let's go and take a look at the back."

After saying that, the two of them hurriedly walked out of the toilet door and went directly to the back of the toilet. Liu Wei and others who were waiting outside followed them with some confusion.

This toilet is not built independently, but is adjacent to a nearby house. Behind the house, there is a small corridor that can only accommodate one person walking straight. Standing on the right side of the house and looking around, you can see the

The high courtyard wall adjacent to the latrine is a foot high. Leng Yu doesn't know what is behind the wall.

Looking at the high courtyard wall, Leng Yu's brows were furrowed. Luo Lan took two steps forward and leaned over to take a closer look.

"Look, sir, there are the same traces here as inside."

Hearing her call, Leng Yu quickly came to her side, squatted down and looked carefully, and sure enough he saw traces of a ladder being left there, but it looked like it had been deliberately hidden.

The two of them looked at each other, stood up and said to the little eunuch:

"Did you hear anything at that time?"

"No...no."

The little eunuch was so frightened that his face turned green and he needed two people to help him stand up.

From the look on his face, it didn't look like he was lying. Maybe he would never have imagined that just by taking the young prince to the toilet, he would get into such big trouble and possibly die.

Leng Yu realized that nothing could be asked from his mouth, so he waved his hand directly to the servant and said coldly:

"Take him down."

The little eunuch was taken away, and he turned to look at Liu Wei again, "Where have you been looking?"

Liu Wei said around his fingers:

"After the child was lost this morning, we searched all over the area."

"Have you looked behind the courtyard wall?"

Liu Wei shook his head, "No, there were many people here at that time, and everyone said that it was impossible for the child to climb such a high courtyard wall, so Master Wu, who was ordered by the emperor to take the lead in finding someone, did not let us go there to look for him.

."

Hearing the words Taishi Wu, Leng Yu's brows suddenly darkened, and the look of worry on his face became a little more worried.

"What's behind the courtyard wall?"

Liu Wei hurriedly replied:

"It should be a garden there. Since there is no entrance and it is separated by such a high courtyard wall, no one has been there. I don't know what it is exactly like."

Listening to Liu Wei's words, Luo Lan couldn't help but lick her tongue. She had a suspicion that something might be discovered here.

At this time, a bad premonition suddenly surged into his heart, and Leng Yu suddenly shouted at Liu Wei:

"Hurry up and order someone to bring the ladder."

Although Liu Wei and others still felt that it was impossible for Xiaozhi to climb up such a high vent or such a high wall, they did not dare to hesitate at all to Prince Yu's order. After a while, a ladder was swung

By that wall.

Leng Yu stopped Liu Wei who wanted to climb up first. He stood at the bottom of the ladder. He took a deep breath and shook Luo Lan's hand. Her palm was as cold as if it had been dipped in ice. She

I'm really afraid that there will be things behind this wall that she doesn't want to see.

Leng Yu looked at the tall ladder and comforted Luo Lan softly:
Chapter completed!
