Unknowingly, the two days passed by in an instant.

The search and rescue at the foot of the mountain never stopped for a moment. Everyone tried their best, but still no clues were found.

The capital and Prince Han's Mansion were also silent.

But in this silence, a group of officers and soldiers quietly appeared around Prince Han's Mansion, completely surrounding Prince Han's Mansion with the force of thunder, and no one was allowed to enter or exit!

Other than that, the group of officers and soldiers have made no further action for the time being.

After Shan Quan got the news, he immediately went to Fuyunxuan and found Ziqing and Wu Peiya.

"Prince Han's Mansion is surrounded by officers and soldiers!" Shan Quan said with a solemn face and a sinking face.

Ziqing was startled when she heard this and felt a little panicked, "Ah? Officers and soldiers? How come there are officers and soldiers coming to surround the palace? Are they going to take advantage of the princess's absence to attack Prince Han's palace?"

Wu Peiya was shocked when she heard the news brought by Shan Quan, but quickly calmed down.

If soldiers from any palace surround Prince Han's Mansion, it is understandable that there are people with ulterior motives who want to attack Prince Han's Mansion.

But the nature of the officers and soldiers is different. Although they don't have to be mobilized by the emperor's decree, they represent Wanqi Kingdom. No one is stupid enough to use officers and soldiers to target Prince Han's Mansion!

So, I'm afraid this happened for a reason.

"Steward Shan Quan, how long have they been surrounding the palace?" Wu Peiya asked in a deep voice.

Seeing that Wu Peiya was so calm at such a young age, Shan Quan felt more trustful in her heart, "It's been a quarter of an hour since I got the news."

Wu Peiya lowered her eyes and said with a stern face, "Half an hour is enough for them to do a lot of things, but they did not attack. The siege of the palace must have another purpose! I think that for the current plan, we must first find a way to trick those officers and soldiers.

Find out the real reason why they besieged the palace, and then make plans."

"After discovering the cause, find a way to send someone out to inform the princess of the news!"

Shan Quan heard this and nodded, "Miss Wu is right. If they wanted to raid the palace, they wouldn't have waited after the siege. In that case, I will make arrangements now and ask them as soon as possible why they surrounded the palace."

After saying that, Shan Quan immediately went out to prepare.

Zi Qing was still a little flustered and worried. Seeing that Wu Peiya was very calm, she asked anxiously: "Peiya, what on earth do you think the other party is going to do? To take advantage of the fact that the prince and princess are not in the palace!"

Wu Peiya slowly shook her head, her expression solemn, "I can't judge this, I can only wait for the steward's investigation results. However, don't worry too much. If they want to do anything wrong to us, they are the ones who started the siege of the palace.

The perfect time.”

"Since they did not choose to take action at the best time, the chance of taking action next is much lower. We must deal with it carefully! Help the princess to guard the palace!"

Zi Qing's eyes turned red and she nodded vigorously, "You are right, we must protect the palace and we must not let the princess worry!"

When Wu Peiya saw this, she didn't try to persuade him any more. Once Shan Quan got the purpose of the siege out of the officers and soldiers, the rest of the matter could be solved in a targeted manner.

…

Outside the capital, at the foot of the mountain.

After two consecutive days of searching, everyone almost exhausted all their mental and physical energy, and was exhausted both physically and mentally.

At this time, the sun was blazing, making everyone feel even more exhausted.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "There is a discovery!"

Xie Yao heard the movement, her eyes narrowed, and she rushed over immediately.

Everyone else's attention was also directed over, paying attention to what was going on here.

"Princess Han, a large amount of blood was found here. The color is dark red. It should have appeared within the last ten or eight days. It has not had time to completely dry up." The person who just shouted reported in a deep voice.

Xie Yao's heart sank when she saw the blood stains.

The area of ​​​​the bloodstain in front of you is indeed very large, and it penetrates very deep!

Judging from the blood volume alone, anyone who loses blood to this extent will definitely die.

"In addition to blood stains, are there any other findings?" Her mood gradually became tense.

"Not yet. I just found the blood stains and asked Princess Han to come over. I will continue to search now and I will definitely find some more clues!" The man said and continued to search.

When the people around him saw this, they immediately joined in. In a short time, the bloodstain within a radius of ten meters was covered over and over again.

Nothing was found.

Neither the body nor any other clues were found.

The pool of blood seemed to appear out of thin air, yet it was so impossible to ignore.

Xie Yao stood there, her lips pursed tightly, her face turned frighteningly white at this moment, bloodless was not enough to describe her face.

"Princess Han, don't worry. This pool of blood appeared out of thin air. Whether it is human blood or animal blood is unknown." Someone nearby saw Xie Yao's pale face and immediately advised her.

"That's right! It doesn't matter if the blood stain is really human blood. Maybe the blood stain is the blood stain on the half body that was found before."

"King Han is blessed with great fortune, everything will be fine!"

Xie Yao didn't respond, his eyes fixedly looked at the location of the blood stains, motionless.

General Xie came over at this time and stood next to Xie Yao, side by side, with his old eyes looking at the spot of blood.

"There is a saying that I think you are right about, that is, 'You must see the person when you are alive, and you must see the corpse when you are dead.' Now we only see blood stains, and nothing is known yet. At first, because of this sentence, you asked for it from the emperor.

It's seven days. Now, you still have time, so you shouldn't give up." Old General Xie's voice was a little hoarse.

Xie Yao stood still, murmuring to herself and repeating her grandfather's words, "You want to see people when you are alive, and you want to see the corpse when you die?"

I've been looking here for ten days, ten whole days!

A few clues were found, but dead bodies...except for the half-unknown body, no one was found.

"Yao'er, do you still remember what your grandfather said? Only by making all preparations can you have a chance to win! Now I just found a pool of blood from an unknown person, which is far from enough to determine whether King Han is alive or dead." General Xie

When he spoke again, his eyes had returned and fell on Xie Yao.

Xie Yao remained silent, her eyes motionless, but her eyes instantly turned red!

Tears filled her eyes, but she held them back and not a drop fell!

She was naturally prepared for everything. The blood stains were indeed not enough to prove Chu Han's life or death, but she suddenly realized that the search and rescue had lasted for ten days, and Chu Han had also disappeared for ten days!

Ten days is not long, but it is definitely not short, especially for those who are facing the test of life and death.
Chapter completed!
