"Princess, we are here. This is the mountain. We can't ride horses on the road ahead. Let's walk up it."
"Okay, Mr. Liu, lead the way."
Wang Yiyao and others tied their horses at the foot of the mountain, and Mr. Liu led the way. He was almost sixty years old, walked very slowly and was breathing heavily.
"Princess, I have been really exhausted these past few days. The emperor just sent people to look for me a few days ago. I didn't expect that you came in person just after the emperor's people left. You are really sincere to the prince."
Wang Yiyao did not expect that the emperor actually sent people to search for traces of Feng Minyi.
"You mean that the emperor sent people to search for traces of the prince? Did they find anything?"
"Yes, the emperor's people are the same as the princess. They searched for many days and found no clues at all, so they went back to resume their duties."
So that's it, Wang Yiyao thought to herself, it seems that not only did she put pressure on the emperor, but the Queen Mother should have also gone to find the Emperor. The Queen Mother would go there for her own power if not for other reasons.
Soon they arrived at the edge of a cliff. "The princess is here. The guards around me said that the prince and the others were forced here by the rioters. Then when the two sides were fighting, the prince fell off the cliff."
.”
While Wang Yiyao listened to Master Liu, he observed this place. This mountain is extremely steep and not many people usually come up there. There are many footprints here, and there are some blood stains on the surrounding branches.
It seemed that Mr. Liu was right. They did fight here, and someone must have been injured. Some of the trees nearby also showed signs of being cut down by random swords.
"Well, I can see that there was indeed a fierce battle here."
Wang Yiyao came to the edge of the cliff and smelled the surrounding leaves, which still smelled of blood.
Han Zheng and Leng Feng were not idle either. Like Wang Yiyao, they looked around.
"Miss, there is a river below."
Wang Yiyao leaned slightly under the cliff and found that there was really a river below.
At the same time, her eyes also saw a trace of familiar colors, like Feng Minyi's clothes, hanging on a branch of the cliff. It was difficult to find it without looking carefully.
"Lengfeng, come here and see if that looks like the clothes the prince is wearing."
Lengfeng came over and leaned out to take a look, and saw that it was really the clothes Feng Minyi was wearing.
"Princess, could it be that the prince got caught on a branch when he fell?"
Wang Yiyao reacted immediately, "Brother Han, let's go down the mountain and see where we can go around to the bottom of the river."
Wang Yiyao didn't know what to do at this moment. She saw the small piece of Feng Minyi's clothes, and her blood suddenly rose to her head.
"Okay, Miss, please wait while I take a good look."
"Princess, I know this. We can go around it from the other side of the mountain."
"Master Liu, ask your people to go down and look for it. Since it fell from here, it will definitely fall into the river. Let them salvage it."
"Did you hear what the princess said? Go find her quickly."
The dozen or so officers and soldiers who followed Wang Yiyao and others up the mountain immediately went down from the other side of the mountain and went to the river below the cliff. They all went to the river to search for Feng Minyi's whereabouts.
"Feng Minyi is not dead, he must not be dead, Lengfeng, we can definitely find the prince, right?"
"Well, Princess, my subordinates also think that the prince is not dead, he must still be alive."
Mr. Liu took Wang Yiyao to the river under the cliff. At this moment, Wang Yiyao felt that his body was light and airy.
When going down the mountain, she almost slipped, but luckily the cold wind caught her.
"Lengfeng, you must protect the eldest lady."
Lengfeng nodded, and Han Zheng told Lengfeng, because since coming to this cliff, Han Zheng felt that Wang Yiyao's mood had become very unstable, and his eyes were a little dazed.
Wang Yiyao's mind was full of scenes of Feng Minyi fighting the enemy, and the scene of Feng Minyi falling off the cliff.
She was very scared, afraid that she would see Feng Minyi's body when she got down there, but then a firm signal came to her that Feng Minyi must be still alive and he was not dead.
"Okay, we're here, we should be here."
When they came down, a dozen officers and soldiers had already started searching in the river, and a few more were searching along the river.
A few of them were still muttering in a low voice, "It has been so many days and it has been washed away by the water. What else can we find?"
"Who says it's not?"
"It's crazy."
Wang Yiyao heard their mutterings, and her eyes suddenly became fierce, "Shut up, everyone. If I can't find any clues about the prince, I will bury you with him."
"Didn't you hear what the princess said? If you don't find her quickly, you won't even be able to go back."
Wang Yiyao didn't even take off her shoes and socks, and walked straight into the river. She put her hands into the water, thinking that she might be able to find something on Feng Minyi's body.
"Princess, be careful of catching a cold."
Han Zheng and Leng Feng also rushed into the river immediately and accompanied Wang Yiyao to search, but after searching for a long time, they found nothing.
Suddenly there were some white things floating in the distance. Wang Yiyao strode across the river and almost fell into the river several times.
When they came to these gray-white things and took a look, they turned out to be Feng Minyi's underwear. Wang Yiyao was shocked by the embroidery on it. Wasn't this the pajamas she had sewn for Feng Minyi herself?
His hands were clumsy, and the eagle he showed off was very ugly. Feng Minyi even laughed at himself, but he still liked this set of pajamas and wore them all the time.
Wang Yiyao picked up Feng Minyi's pajamas and burst into tears.
At this time, her mood had collapsed. Why could she not find anyone even though she had found her pajamas?
Han Zheng was worried that Wang Yiyao would get cold if he stayed in the water, so he winked at Leng Feng, who directly picked up Wang Yiyao and brought her to the shore.
"Princess, let's go to the shore to have a rest. Your injury is just fine. This won't work."
Wang Yiyao hugged Feng Minyi's pajamas and let the cold wind hold her. She was unable to resist anything.
After sitting on the bank for a long time, Wang Yiyao woke up and said, "Master Liu, go and send more people over and start searching along the river. We must find the prince."
Mr. Liu had no choice but to follow Wang Yiyao's order, "Princess, everything is in accordance with your order, but can I go back first and then bring my troops?"
"Go ahead and remember to ask them to come immediately. I want them to start now, no matter if it is day or night. Do you understand me? Mr. Liu."
"I understand, I understand. Weichen will go back and call for help right now."
