Hiding her pregnancy and divorce, she stopped licking and the general panicked

Chapter 268 An An is missing

Mo Lingchen said, "Please ask him to come in."

When Li Quan came in and saw the banknotes on the table, his eyes widened in shock.

"General, what is this?"

"The princess gave it to me!"

Li Quan suddenly grinned and said: "The princess is so generous. It's good to marry a princess."

"Ah, no...it's good to marry a princess."

"The princess is truly a timely help."

Mo Lingchen frowned. "You can go shopping for winter clothes and boots yourself. You can bargain for lower prices, but you can't oppress the people."

Li Quan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, General. I will never do such a thing."

Mo Lingchen pinched his brows and said, "Xiaobei, you come with me and keep a record of every account. I want to personally review the account book when we get back."

He was really scared by the corrupt officials. If it weren't for those corrupt officials, he wouldn't have fallen to the point of using Chu Qinghe's money.

Li Quan was a man of action. Three days later, all 30,000 soldiers were wearing warm winter clothes, winter boots, winter hats and fur gloves.

"That's great! With winter clothes, we can save money and survive for another month."

"I hope that the next time the imperial court sends food, it won't be tampered with."

Mo Lingchen was full of confidence: "No, this time I'll have my father send someone to personally escort the food and fodder."

"The urgent memorial, which has traveled eight hundred miles, will reach the capital in ten days."

In the capital, Su Yujiao came out of the palace and just as she walked out of the palace gate, she met the impatient Xiaotao.

"Miss, you finally came out." Xiaotao cried.

"What happened?"

Su Yujiao suddenly had a bad feeling, otherwise Xiaotao wouldn't be so anxious.

"The young master is missing, wuwuwu... I can't find him anywhere."

Su Yujiao's expression changed: "What?"

"When did you disappear?"

"Did you take him out?"

"When did you find out the child was missing?"

"what happened?"

Su Yujiao asked a series of questions anxiously.

"You left not long ago."

"Originally, the two children had been playing in the yard. After a while, the young lady started to get sleepy, so I patted her and coaxed her to sleep."

"Then the young master fell asleep too."

"I was lying next to the crib singing a lullaby, and ended up falling asleep while humming."

"When I woke up, only the young lady was in the bed, and the young master was not there."

"I thought the young master was playful and went to play in the yard after waking up."

"We searched everywhere, but couldn't find him."

"I asked the guards at the gate, and they all said they didn't see the young master leave."

Su Yujiao tried hard to calm herself down. The more times like this happened, the less anxious she should be.

"Go back and take a look first."

"Where are the Wei sisters?"

Xiao Tao cried and said, "I'm still looking."

When the two returned home, Su Yujiao asked the guard at the gate if anyone had entered or left the courtyard from the time the child fell asleep to the time the child was discovered missing.

"No one has ever come in, only the stone has gone out."

"Stone?"

"Is he back?"

They both shook their heads: "Not back yet."

Su Yujiao's heart skipped a beat. Could it be a stone?

No, it can’t be made of stone. The child is too honest and simple to do such an ungrateful thing.

"Did he go out empty-handed, or was he carrying something?"

The young guard thought for a moment and said, "He went out with a shoulder pole, saying that the weather was getting cold. You told him to buy two baskets of red charcoal."

Su Yujiao felt increasingly uneasy: "Have you checked his basket?"

The two men looked at each other and saw guilt in each other's eyes. Obviously, they were lax and did not check.

Xiao Tao's eyes widened in disbelief: "Miss, are you doubting the stone?"

"Shitou is such an honest and simple child, and you have done him a favor, how could he do such a thing?"

Su Yujiao's face was cold: "I hope it's not him."

Human nature cannot stand the test, especially in the face of huge interests.

"Go to the General's Mansion and find some helpers. Ask them to look for it together."

"Also, send a few more people to look for stones."

"Yes."

When Zhou learned that An An was missing, she wanted to send all the people in the general's mansion away.

Even so, An An and Shi Tou were not found.

It was completely dark, and Su Yujiao had basically concluded that Shi Tou had betrayed her.

Even if you go out of town to buy charcoal, you should come back by now.

"Do you want me to write a letter to Ziqian?" Zhou was anxious.

"Don't distract him."

"He's fighting on the front lines. Even if he knew, it wouldn't help. It would just distract him."

By the time he came back, the daylily was cold.

"Then what should I do?"

"An An will be fine. Go back first. I'll tell you as soon as I have any news."

After persuading Zhou to leave, Su Yujiao went to the palace by herself.

She knew that Chu Zhongyuan was most likely the one who did it.

He was very good at choosing the right time. He would bribe people when Lu Ziqian was not around. He didn't expect that even such an honest and simple child like Shi Tou could be bribed by him.

This time, she didn't bring anyone with her. The child was in someone else's hands, so it would be useless even if she brought someone with her.

She was very passive and didn't dare to snatch the child by force, as the child was her weak point.

When she arrived at the palace gate, Su Yujiao hesitated for a moment and finally turned around and left.

Maybe Mudan can help her. If she knows where the child is hiding, she will definitely find a way to rescue the child.

If you go into negotiations without any preparation like this, you will be completely controlled by the other party.

Jin Mudan learned that An An was likely captured by Chu Zhongyuan, and said that she would try her best to find out the child's hiding place.

Su Yujiao bought a drone that could take pictures automatically, and took advantage of the night to hover over the palace and take pictures.

It’s a pity that there is no internet access, otherwise she could directly see the situation inside the palace through the drone.

An hour passed and the drone took countless photos, but none of them were useful, and there was no trace of An An.

Instead, I saw Shitou's figure. He was being carried away by two guards. His face was abnormally dark blue, and he was probably dead.

Su Yujiao felt heavy-hearted. She was so stupid. Why would she work for someone like Chu Zhongyuan? What good could this end for her?

She didn't want to say that this was retribution for the stone, but she definitely couldn't sympathize with it.

The next day, the news that Su Yujiao had lost her child reached the palace.

Jin Mudan took the opportunity to ask Concubine Jing if Chu Zhongyuan had captured Su Yujiao's child and where she had hidden the child?

Concubine Jing shook her head, indicating that she knew nothing.

Chu Zhongyuan would not tell her what he did.

"Don't worry about him, just take good care of your body."

Jin Mudan looked weak: "Mother, I want to see my brother."

"I want to talk to my brother. I feel like I'm dying."

"I don't want to leave without seeing my royal brother for the last time."

Concubine Jing looked at the woman's emaciated and miserable appearance and said distressedly: "Mother will send someone to invite your brother to the palace."

"Don't let your imagination run wild. My baby will definitely live a long life."
