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, âLet go of me!â
âHeh, you think you can escape? Iâll 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!â
âJade Manor?!â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The guardsâ 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 bunâs chubby face, the guards felt a little guilty. Therefore, one of them tried to persuade Feng Weigeng by saying, âPerhaps we should think of another way to punish this kid. Assistant Minister Yu is in the First Princeâs faction. If the Fifth Prince finds out about this, heâll be furiousâ¦
Feng Weigeng waved his hand dismissively and said, âIt doesnât matter. Itâs not like Iâm going to discuss matters of the court with Assistant Minister Yu so Fifth Imperial Brother wonât get angry. All Iâm doing is giving Assistant Minister Yu a little gift.â
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 Regentâs 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, âCounty
Princess, Iâve searched everywhere. I canât find the little mas⦠Junjin!â Luo Xiuran furrowed his brows. âDid he hide somewhere and fell asleep?â
âImpossible,â 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, âJunjin told me heâd be back soon.â
âSearch the residence thoroughly,â Feng Yili ordered with a grave expression.
Jiang Chuan led a group of guards to search the Prince Regentâs 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, âYour Royal
Highness, we found a jade thumb ring outside the wall of the residence.â
Luo Xiuranâs expression changed, and he quickly said, âT-that was my ring, and it has been with Junjin recently.â
âSomething must have happened to Junjin,â Yu Yunxi said, feeling a little dizzy. She was puzzled. No one knew about the little bunâs identity, and he had just arrived at the capital not long ago. Who would attack him?
Luo Xiuran frowned and asked gloomily, âDid Junjin offend anyone recently?â
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.
âCould it beâ¦â
âThe Twelfth Prince,â Feng Yili said icily.
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiuran thought of something and said, âSpeaking of this, when I left the palace, I saw the Twelfth Prince leaving the palace with his guards as well!â
âJiang Ying, send people to investigate where the Twelfth Prince went after leaving the palace,â Feng Yili said grimly.
Yu Yunxi could not hear the conversations in her surroundings at all. Her mind was only filled with Yu Junjinâs safety at this moment. After a moment, she patted the head of the tiger who had just eaten and said anxiously, âLittle
White, come with me.â
After that, she quickly left with the tiger.
âNo, Yunxi, you canât bring⦠Little White outside! The imperial guards are searching the capital for it!â Luo Xiuran called out, stomping his feet.
However, Yu Yunxi, Qian Jiao, and Qian Mei were already nowhere to be seen.
âThe white tiger has a keen sense of smell. It smelled Junjinâs scent earlier so it can help us find Junjin,â Feng Yili said. His gaze was dark and incomprehensible as he looked in the direction where Yu Yunxi left.
âIs that so? However, itâs still very strange. All of us are anxious that Junjinâs missing, but donât you think Yunxiâs reaction is a little too⦠anxious⦠She was so anxious that it seemed like she did not just meet Junjin recentlyâ¦â Luo Xiuran muttered to himself.
Feng Yiliâs eyes flashed when he heard Luo Xiuranâs words, surging with unknown emotions.
âJiang Chuan, search the capital for me! Dig three feet into the ground if you have to!â
âYili, without the Emperorâs permission, you cannot search the capital! Youâre giving him a chance to deal with you if you do this!â 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, âWhy are all of them irrationally anxious? Yunxi is like that, Yili is like that as well! Theyâre really crazy! If I didnât know better, Iâd think theyâre Junjinâs biological parents!â
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.
âMaster.â
Everyone thought Yu Yunxi opened the medical hall to inherit his motherâs 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, âJunjin is missing. We must find him even if we have to dig three feet underground!â
âYes, Master!â
After the secret guards were deployed, Yu Yunxi leaned over and patted the white tigerâs head. She said seriously, âJunjin is very important to me. Please help me find him.â
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 tigerâs 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 Yunxiâs skirt excitedly and led her forward. Finally, it came to a stop in front of a mansion.
âJade Manor?â
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, âCounty 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.â
âA sack?â
Colors drained from Yu Yunxiâs face when she heard these words. âIt must be Junjin! These people deserve to die!â
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.
âWho? Who dares to barge into Jade Manor?!â
A group of servants from Jade Manor reacted and rushed over.
However, Yu Yunxiâs secret guards moved swiftly and knocked them out..
