Chapter 189: The Missing Shadow
Hui'er immediately returned after picking up the fox fur. After searching for a while, she didn't see Shen Yihan. Even Yunguan and Murong Jingyu disappeared. She didn't know if the master secretly followed the two people elsewhere, or was accidentally discovered, so she had to go back to the mansion with the three of them?
After thinking about it, Huier turned back to Tongguang Platform. She felt that the eldest princess was the most likely to go back to find her.
"Hui'er, why are you back?" Shen Yishao was very sharp-eyed. She happened to be breathing outside, and she looked a little panicked when she saw Hui'er.
"Reply to Princess Kuoyi's words, I will come back to get things for my master." Huier made an excuse for a moment.
"Hmm? Haven't you been back just now?" Shen Yi asked after seeing Huier holding a fox fur in her hand.
"I have a bad memory and forgot a small object. I just remembered it and came back to get it again." Huier was worried about her master and was unwilling to waste time with Shen Yi.
"Why are you leaving again? Don't you want to get something?" Shen Yi asked after seeing Hui'er turn around and leave.
"Princess, say goodbye." Huier didn't know how to answer Shen Yishu, and just lowered her head and stood there in a daze.
The two were silent for a moment, and Shen Yi turned around and returned to the hall. Huier left in a hurry. As soon as she walked into the courtyard, she ran into the prince-consort.
"Hui'er, what's going on in a hurry?" Murong Jingyu almost bumped into Hui'er. He felt that the maid was very reckless recently.
"Have you seen the eldest princess?" Hui'er seemed to have seen a reinforcement when she saw the prince-consort. Finally someone could help her find her master.
"Aren't you always with Han'er? Why are you asking me?" Murong Jingyu was confused when asked. Hui'er should be with Shen Yihan in an endless way.
"I... I just accompanied the eldest princess to the yard for some breath. The master said she was cold, so I went back to the hall to get the fox fur. When I came out, I found that the master was missing." Huier lies for a moment. She would not admit that she and her master had been monitoring the prince-consort.
"Have you found it? You just said your master is gone?" Murong Jingyu looked at Hui'er carefully, not knowing whether she was cold or she was trembling slightly due to fear.
"I thought my master had returned to the hall. I just saw it and was not here." Hui'er looked sad, her head was blank, and she couldn't think of where her master would go.
"Don't worry, let's look for it together. Your master is afraid of the darkness and will not go away by himself." Murong Jingyu comforted Hui'er, turned around and rushed to Yunguan in the distance and ordered, "Sister Wan, come on."
"What's wrong?" Yunguan was puzzled.
"Wan'er, please look here with Hui'er. I'll go there and have a look. If you haven't found it, you'll still meet here. If you find it, you'll inform each other." Murong Jingyu patiently ordered. He saw that there were no people around him, so he dared to ask Yunguan to come and help.
"Okay." Yunguan had been hiding behind the bamboo bushes in the courtyard. She wanted to stagger the time with Murong Jingyu, for fear that others would mistakenly think that they were two people. "Brother Jing, please be careful."
"Well, so are you two. I'll go first and see you back." Murong Jingyu turned around and ran away. Although he didn't believe that Shen Yihan would be lost alone, he was still very worried.
In this huge Tianfu City, there are dark places. No matter how strict the guards are, if anyone who wants to do something wrong carefully plans, it will be enough to panic.
Besides, there were so many envoys in the palace today, and Murong Jingyu dared not think about it anymore. He only wished his beloved wife was safe and sound.
"Why are you here?" Hui'er dared to question Yunguan when she saw the prince-consort walking away.
"I... have been breathing here all the time. I just heard Huier and Brother Jing tell her that the eldest princess is gone, and I still want to ask for my help." Yunguan explained with a little guilty conscience. She didn't know that the eldest princess' disappearance was related to her.
"No need for you, go ahead and do your own thing." Huier glanced at Yunwan and left. She didn't want to walk with Hu Meizi.
"Hui'er, I'm kind." Yunwan said to Hui'er's back.
"Good intentions? Keep it for yourself." Hui'er didn't even look back. She was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and said anything harsh. At this moment, she just wanted to find her master quickly.
Yunguan also understood that the most urgent task was to find Shen Yihan as soon as possible. As long as the eldest princess was full of all things, just Hui'er was not worth mentioning. She turned around and went into the hall to find Eunuch Su, "Brother-in-law, I have something to ask for."
"Princess Duanyi is so serious, just give me the order." Eunuch Su looked at Yunguan, who was full of sorrow in front of him, and suddenly recalled the scene when Wuchuan first met. The poor man in white might have been engraved in his mind.
"I just heard that the eldest princess is gone. Should my father-in-law send more people to find her?" Yunguan lowered her voice. She hoped that Eunuch Su could act in a low-key manner and not disturb the emperor first, so as not to disturb her interest in celebrating her birthday.
"Be serious? The eldest princess was still in the hall just now? When did it not happen?" Eunuch Su questioned. He knew that the eldest princess was calm and understanding, and would not easily cause trouble to others, nor would it worry about her.
"Father-in-law, I'm not talking nonsense. I just accidentally heard the conversation between the prince-consort and the servant, saying that I can't find the eldest princess. Look at this..." Yunguan answered truthfully, so that Eunuch Su could judge whether he was in a hurry or not.
"Princess, don't make a name for it. The old slave sent someone to look for it. Maybe the eldest princess will come back soon, right?" Eunuch Su would rather believe that if the eldest princess really encounters danger, he would not be able to afford it.
Eunuch Su knew very well that the emperor loved the eldest princess. He could not deal with it, whether the emperor or Concubine Xuan was angry because of the eldest princess' disappearance.
"Okay, my father-in-law is worried. Can I go find it together?" Yunguan was also worried about Shen Yihan's safety. If Shen Yishuo was not there, she wouldn't have to trouble Eunuch Su in person.
"Princess Duanyi should go back to the hall to wait. If there is any situation, I will inform you in time." Eunuch Su hurriedly told the palace servants that regardless of whether the eldest princess was really missing, the most important thing was to find her first.
"Su Rui, Su Rui..." Yunguan heard the emperor summoning Eunuch Su as soon as she entered the hall, so she had to go to Xiao Caozi to explain the situation so that he could come forward for Eunuch Su for a while.
"Emperor, what's the matter?" Xiao Caozi knelt timidly. Without Eunuch Su, he was afraid of facing the emperor.
"Where is Su Rui?" Shen Yixiang's voice was unhappy. When he needed Eunuch Su recently, he couldn't find anyone.
"Eunuch Su, I'm a little... uncomfortable. Let me serve the emperor. If you have anything to do, the emperor will give me instructions." Although Xiao Caozi was timid, he was very clever. However, it was the first time he was lying in front of the emperor, and he was so nervous.
"Go and call him to me. I'm not feeling uncomfortable yet. He's not feeling well?" Shen Yixiang was very unhappy. He wanted to hold a birthday party, but it made him angry.
To celebrate the birthday party, long live the grudges, I will seek good luck, but I will be indecisive.
