Although he was so close, she felt that he was far away. After so many years, she still felt guilty and didn't know how to face him?
Maybe she shouldn't hide anymore.
Mu Xuechu made up her mind. She took a deep breath and returned to the room. She saw that only Yu'er was on the bed, but Miao'er was missing.
She started up and looked around hastily. No one was in the room or under the bed.
Mu Xuechu held a lantern and went out: "Miao'er, where are you?"
The courtyard was quiet, because she was in her own house, so she did not let the accompanying guards keep watch. There were only patrolling guards at the house.
But when she found the garden, there was no sign of Miao'er. She panicked and called someone to search with her.
The quiet mansion suddenly became noisy. The butler led people to search everywhere in the mansion, even the pond used for viewing.
But Xiao Miaoer seemed to have disappeared from the world.
Xiao Qiyan and Lin Luowei had already rested. When they heard the noise outside, Xiao Qiyan stood up and opened the door. He saw Mo Ling walking over quickly and said: "Your Majesty, Miss Miaoer is missing."
"What?"
Xiao Qiyan was surprised: "Why are you missing?"
Mo Ling said: "It seems that Mrs. Shen went out for a while, only for half a stick of incense. When she came back, she found that the young lady was missing. The whole house was searched, but no one was found."
Xiao Qiyan frowned, turned around and put on his outer robe, and went to the flower hall with Lin Luowei.
Mu Xuechu's crying could be heard in the distance.
Xiao Qiyan walked over quickly: "Mrs. Shen."
Mu Xuechu stood up with an anxious look on her face: "Your Highness Prince Qi, Miao'er is gone. Where could she run away at such a young age? It's all my fault. I should have been guarding her every step of the way. It's all my fault."
Xiao Qiyan comforted her: "Mrs. Shen, don't worry. The house is so big, there must be something missing. Let the guards go and look for it."
Lin Luowei helped Mu Xuechu sit down and said, "Mrs. Shen, don't worry, Miao'er will be fine."
How could Mu Xuechu not be worried? Her daughter just disappeared out of thin air. They had no enemies when they first came here, and the guards also said that there was nothing unusual in the house. Where could her Miao'er go?
Not long after, the guards came to report. They searched the house again, but still found nothing.
When Mu Yun first heard this, his vision went dark and he fainted.
"Mrs. Shen."
Lin Luowei supported Mu Xuechu and asked Xiao Qiyan anxiously: "What should I do, brother Yan?"
Xiao Qiyan felt that there was something fishy about this matter. If Miao'er was not at the house, she was most likely kidnapped.
He was startled and said to Mo Ling: "Take people out of the mansion to search, notify the government office, close the city gate, and search the whole city."
"yes."
Mo Ling cupped his fists and responded, then led the guards out of the house.
The old housekeeper in the house was also very worried. He asked: "What should we do? Do you want to write a letter and tell General Mu?"
Xiao Qiyan said: "Wait until daybreak, and if there is no whereabouts of Miao'er, send a message to the capital."
He raised his hand and stroked his forehead, feeling very annoyed. They should not take it lightly.
I thought that when I came to Mu Mansion, it would be very safe, but who would have thought that something like this would happen.
Did Miaoer have an accident or was she taken away?
Everyone was in panic and could only wait for the news.
At this time, the man who took Miao'er away had already left the city. He was walking on the mountain road with Miao'er in his arms, and the little girl in his arms had already fallen asleep.
The roars of wild beasts could be heard from time to time in the forest. After thinking for a while, the young man put his man down on a big rock and turned around to leave. He heard Miao'er's voice talking in her sleep calling: "Mother, I'm cold."
He paused, looked back at the person huddled on the stone, finally took off his robe and threw it on her body, turned around and strode away.
