This question silenced everyone present, and no one could guess who the masked man was.

At this moment, Fan Tiancheng and Daya came to Leng Yu and Luo Lan with silver in their hands.

"Prince Yu, Princess Yu, this is the money that the man in black gave us. We have spent some of it in the past few days, and there are still seventy-five taels left. Now I will give it all to you. Please be merciful and don't punish us."

, we don’t know that An An is from Prince Yu’s Mansion, if we knew, we wouldn’t dare to keep her at home even if we were beaten to death.”

Although Da Ya feels sorry for the money, she also knows that life is more important than money.

She bit her lip and said with a trembling voice:

"We...we didn't treat the second young lady badly. My mother was old and couldn't stand the second young lady, so she let her run away. By the way, she even got the coins for the second young lady. Please ask Prince Yu and Princess Yu about this..."

Spare our lives and let go of our sin of ignorance.”

"I beg Prince Yu and Princess Yu to spare their lives..."

Looking at the two people kneeling on the ground, Leng Yu glanced at Luo Lan. Seeing her looking at them expressionlessly, her eyes empty and not knowing what she was thinking, he directly replied coldly:

"Those who don't know are not guilty. I can't blame you for this. Just accept the money for yourselves!"

With only these simple words left, he took Luo Lan's shoulders and comforted him softly:

"Lan'er, as long as An An is still alive, we can find her, let's go!"

Luo Lan leaned in his arms, nodded feebly, and murmured,

"It's getting dark, she's so young, what should she do if she can't find a place to live? Will she be cold, will she be hungry? Will... will she meet bad people again?

?”

At this point, she had begun to burst into tears. Leng Yu held her tightly with one hand and took her on the horse. After sitting firmly with Luo Lan, he turned around and ordered Zhang Yuan and others:

"Without further delay, let's go straight to Yancheng and meet up with Ayu Ahou and the others."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Xiao Lingzi and others responded, they quickly got on their horses, ready to follow Leng Yu.

Leng Yu stared ahead, his eyes sank slightly, he held Luo Lan's waist with one hand, and tightened the horse's reins with the other hand. He shouted "drive" in his mouth, and the horse raised its front hooves.

Run out quickly in the direction of Yancheng.

Carrying the dust and fatigue along the way, they arrived in Yancheng an hour later. When they met Ayu and Ahou, it was completely dark. Ayu and Ahou, together with the officials of Yancheng, were waiting at the gate to welcome Prince Yu.

The arrival of Princess Heyu.

As soon as they arrived at the city gate, Luo Lan couldn't wait to step forward and asked:

"Is there any news about An An?"

Ayu shook his head,

"When we came, it was already getting late. Mr. Zhang of the government sent officers to search all over the streets in the city, but they couldn't find An An. We were wondering if she had found a place to stay, and we would continue the search early tomorrow morning.

"

Listening to Ayu's words, although Luo Lan's hand was tightly held by Leng Yu, her body shook unconsciously.

Seeing that she was a little excited, Leng Yu quickly comforted her softly:

"Don't worry, madam. We know where she is going. It's much easier to find her than trying to find a needle in a haystack before. Let Ah Hong and Ah Cai take you to the post house to rest. Master Zhang and I will discuss the plan for finding someone tomorrow, and then we'll go to the street.

Look for it online.”

"good……"

During this period of time, Luo Lan already felt weak, and because she got up early today and had to travel all day, she really wanted to take a rest.

A Cai and A Hong helped Luo Lan get on the carriage, and under the guidance of Yancheng officials, walked to the post house that had been arranged.

As soon as they arrived at the door of the post house, the girl who had been waiting there hurriedly bowed forward and asked:

"Princess, the bath water is boiled. Please take a bath before going to bed."

"Um."

After Luo Lan nodded, he was supported by A Cai and A Hong and walked upstairs.

Yancheng Yiguan is a place in Yancheng specially used to receive officials from the capital and coming and going. Today I learned that Prince Yu and Princess Yu were coming, and Mr. Zhang ordered everyone to evacuate, so it was quite quiet here.

The bath water was quickly put away. A Cai and A Hong helped Luo Lan change and then left.

Sitting in the bathtub, feeling the pleasant feeling of the warm water hitting her body, Luo Lan closed her eyes tiredly, breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly thought about the past...

But as long as she closed her eyes, all she could think of was An An, either An An in rags and shabby clothes, shivering in the corner, or An An looking embarrassed as she was chased by bad guys and running around, or she was being beaten.

The wild beasts were tearing him apart, and he looked like he was covered in blood...

She stroked her fingers in the water a few times, and then suddenly opened her eyes...

It turned out that she had just fallen asleep, and all the terrible scenes happened in her dream.

She gently raised her jade hand to wipe away the sweat on her forehead and the tears that poured down her face.

An'an, this child, was born with a miserable life, and now she didn't know where she was. She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes tightly, and silently recited,

"God, please wish An An to come back to me safely. I'm really worried about her. I don't know where she is now, whether she has food, whether she has a place to sleep, whether her face is dirty, whether her hair is combed, whether her clothes are on

Not washed, or the shoes on the feet are still there..."

When she said this sentence, she covered her face with her hands and started sobbing...

Yuhongyuan.

This seems to be a standard building in every city.

Although it is already midnight, the place is still very lively. Some men are either single or in company. As long as they come to the door, they will be pulled into the house by the women waiting at the door, waiting for their pockets to be empty.

When they come out, they will have a satisfied expression.

Sister Hong was busy back and forth in the main hall, watching the men coming in and out, welcoming and sending them off, her tone was ambiguous but also filled with joy.

At this time, a girl came in a hurry and whispered in her ear,

"Sister Hong, that girl tried to jump out of the window, but was stopped. Now she keeps crying. What should I do?"

Sister Hong rolled her eyes, shook her handkerchief and snorted coldly,

"Hmph! After entering the door of my Yuhongyuan, you still want to escape? It's just a dream. Let's go and have a look."

After saying this, she waved the handkerchief in her hand, smiled seductively and greeted the men passing by, while twisting her graceful figure, she walked upstairs.

At this time, An An was huddled in the corner of a dark room, staring at the door with a look of fear.

The torture of these ten days has made this originally quirky little girl become cautious.

Thinking of the scene of stepping into the back door of Yuhongyuan, she was frightened...

"Sister Hong, where is this? Why are there so many people here?"

An An timidly looked at the women wearing bright clothes and heavy makeup, and a feeling of fear came to her heart.

Sister Hong rolled her eyes, and while gesturing to the person behind her to close the door, she comforted her,
