The little bun knew that something was wrong as soon as he saw the guards. His expression changed, and he turned to run.
Alas, Feng Weigeng was prepared this time. He had brought experts from the palace so the little bun was very quickly surrounded.
The little bun did not carry any poison on him this time so he could only watch helplessly as the guards captured him. He struggled with all his might and shouted, “Let go of me!”
“Heh, you think you can escape? I’ll show you the consequences of offending a member of the imperial family! Men, capture him and bring him to the palace!
No… Consort Mother will find out if I bring him to the palace. Bring him to Jade
Manor!”
‘Jade Manor?!’
The guards’ expressions were a little complicated when they heard those words.
The master of Jade Manor was Assistant Minister Yu. He was a known p*dophile. Over the years, many children had died due to his abuse.
Looking at the little bun’s chubby face, the guards felt a little guilty. Therefore, one of them tried to persuade Feng Weigeng by saying, “Perhaps we should think of another way to punish this kid. Assistant Minister Yu is in the First Prince’s faction. If the Fifth Prince finds out about this, he’ll be furious…
Feng Weigeng waved his hand dismissively and said, “It doesn’t matter. It’s not like I’m going to discuss matters of the court with Assistant Minister Yu so Fifth Imperial Brother won’t get angry. All I’m doing is giving Assistant Minister Yu a little gift.”
The guards exchanged a look. They wanted to persuade Feng Weigeng again, but they were worried about angering their vicious master. In the end, they could only give up.
Back in the Prince Regent’s Residence.
Yu Yunxi waited for a long time, but the little bun did not return. She naturally began to feel uneasy. She gave Qian Jiao a look, and Qian Jiao tacitly left to look for the little bun.
It did not take long before Qian Jiao returned. She said anxiously, “County
Princess, I’ve searched everywhere. I can’t find the little mas… Junjin!” Luo Xiuran furrowed his brows. “Did he hide somewhere and fell asleep?”
“Impossible,” Yu Yunxi said. She knew her son would not do that.
Perhaps, Yu Yunxi had rejected that possibility too quickly, all of them looked at Yu Yunxi strangely.
Yu Yunxi also realized her gaffe. She quickly corrected herself and said, “Junjin told me he’d be back soon.”
“Search the residence thoroughly,” Feng Yili ordered with a grave expression.
Jiang Chuan led a group of guards to search the Prince Regent’s Residence. When he finally returned, he reported that he could not find the little bun as well.
At this moment, Jiang Ying walked in from outside and said, “Your Royal
Highness, we found a jade thumb ring outside the wall of the residence.”
Luo Xiuran’s expression changed, and he quickly said, “T-that was my ring, and it has been with Junjin recently.”
“Something must have happened to Junjin,” Yu Yunxi said, feeling a little dizzy. She was puzzled. No one knew about the little bun’s identity, and he had just arrived at the capital not long ago. Who would attack him?
Luo Xiuran frowned and asked gloomily, “Did Junjin offend anyone recently?”
Luo Xiuran had been going out with the little bun recently so he knew that the little bun did not offend anyone, at least not when the little bun was on his watch.
‘Could it be…”
“The Twelfth Prince,” Feng Yili said icily.
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiuran thought of something and said, “Speaking of this, when I left the palace, I saw the Twelfth Prince leaving the palace with his guards as well!”
“Jiang Ying, send people to investigate where the Twelfth Prince went after leaving the palace,” Feng Yili said grimly.
Yu Yunxi could not hear the conversations in her surroundings at all. Her mind was only filled with Yu Junjin’s safety at this moment. After a moment, she patted the head of the tiger who had just eaten and said anxiously, “Little
White, come with me.”
After that, she quickly left with the tiger.
“No, Yunxi, you can’t bring… Little White outside! The imperial guards are searching the capital for it!” Luo Xiuran called out, stomping his feet.
However, Yu Yunxi, Qian Jiao, and Qian Mei were already nowhere to be seen.
“The white tiger has a keen sense of smell. It smelled Junjin’s scent earlier so it can help us find Junjin,” Feng Yili said. His gaze was dark and incomprehensible as he looked in the direction where Yu Yunxi left.
“Is that so? However, it’s still very strange. All of us are anxious that Junjin’s missing, but don’t you think Yunxi’s reaction is a little too… anxious… She was so anxious that it seemed like she did not just meet Junjin recently…” Luo Xiuran muttered to himself.
Feng Yili’s eyes flashed when he heard Luo Xiuran’s words, surging with unknown emotions.
“Jiang Chuan, search the capital for me! Dig three feet into the ground if you have to!”
“Yili, without the Emperor’s permission, you cannot search the capital! You’re giving him a chance to deal with you if you do this!” Luo Xiuran said. He was so worried that he felt like he was going to faint.
Alas, Feng Yili had already left, and Luo Xiuran could only shout and chase after him. He complained inwardly, ‘Why are all of them irrationally anxious? Yunxi is like that, Yili is like that as well! They’re really crazy! If I didn’t know better, I’d think they’re Junjin’s biological parents!’
On the other side, Yu Yunxi and the others brought the white tiger to the backyard of the Revival Hall with a carriage. It was already dark outside, and coupled with the cover of the carriage, no one noticed the white tiger.
As soon as Yu Yunxi appeared, dozens of black-clad guards appeared and greeted her respectfully.
“Master.”
Everyone thought Yu Yunxi opened the medical hall to inherit his mother’s legacy. In truth, that was not the only reason. This place was also the base of Xinan in the capital. Xinan had already planted their people in various parts of the capital, and the King of Xinan needed a base for ease of communication.
Yu Yunxi said seriously, “Junjin is missing. We must find him even if we have to dig three feet underground!”
“Yes, Master!”
After the secret guards were deployed, Yu Yunxi leaned over and patted the white tiger’s head. She said seriously, “Junjin is very important to me. Please help me find him.”
The white tiger seemed to understand her. It growled before it ran out.
Fortunately, it was already late at night. There was almost no one on the streets. Moreover, the white tiger’s speed was very fast so it went around undetected like a gust of wind.
After a while, the white tiger seemed to have caught the scent of something. It bit Yu Yunxi’s skirt excitedly and led her forward. Finally, it came to a stop in front of a mansion.
“Jade Manor?”
Yu Yunxi looked at the plaque above the entrance with a slight frown on her face.
At this time, Qian Mei appeared with the secret guards. She said grimly, “County Princess, we found out that the Twelfth Prince came to Jade Manor an hour ago. According to witnesses, he moved a sack from the carriage into the mansion.”
‘A sack?’
Colors drained from Yu Yunxi’s face when she heard these words. ‘It must be Junjin! These people deserve to die!’
A secret guard walked to the door and used internal energy to open it.
With a loud bang, the heavy doors of Jade Manor collapsed, stirring up a cloud of dust.
“Who? Who dares to barge into Jade Manor?!”
A group of servants from Jade Manor reacted and rushed over.
However, Yu Yunxi’s secret guards moved swiftly and knocked them out..
