Chapter 371 Missing
The mother and son stood in the courtyard and cried bitterly. With constant comfort and urging from Lu Xuan, Lu Xiao and the others, Xie finally let go of Lu Xuan and carefully led him step by step, first to the fire basin, then to the red eggs, and then to the red belt...
After finally completing all the procedures, the group finally sat down at the banquet table.
Mrs. Xie's previous sadness was gone, and her words were filled with a hint of sweet disdain: "You've been away for more than ten years. You must not have eaten well or dressed well. You haven't even gotten married yet, but you've already aged like this. It's good that you're back now. You must take good care of yourself and then you can marry Shu'er..."
Before she finished speaking, Xie was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and looked at Lu Xuan with an extremely apologetic look.
A Xuan told her not to let the secret slip, otherwise she would sell the person out so quickly!
Damn damn it!
General Lu also immediately glanced at Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan sat where he was and had to pretend to look around at the scenery.
General Lu couldn't help but laugh. "Mother, since you already know everything, I won't hide it from you. In a few days, when Shu'er is free, I'll let her come over. I bet you haven't seen her in years, right?"
Xie's nervousness suddenly dissipated, and she smiled so hard that her eyebrows were not visible. "That's right, I saw you when we were teenagers. If you need anything, I will prepare it for you..."
Several people were talking and laughing happily, and the maids in the mansion began to put food on the table. Lu Xuan looked at General Lu and said, "Brother, when you came here, did you see the prince? He told me this morning that he would come with me after court. How come he hasn't arrived yet?"
General Lu's expression froze when he heard this. "He left the palace before me after court, and walked out before me. How come he hasn't arrived for so long?"
Xie's eyes also showed concern. "How about we send someone to take a look?"
As he spoke, he had already instructed Manager Lu to send someone to pick up Jiang Xing.
The leader of the guards came over quickly, and in just a moment, he received Xie's instructions and left in a hurry.
Looking at the hurried and powerful back, Lu Xuan admonished himself and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
I think he was talking to someone about something again, or maybe he made some discovery.
You can't just let your brother wait if he doesn't come, right?
After all, it’s such a happy day...
"Brother, Auntie, let's get started! He promised me he would come today, but he must be busy with other things now. It's the same if he joins us later."
Lu Xuan invited everyone to have their meal first, but Xie and General Lu refused repeatedly.
"It's only because we're so close that we're being so rude. Yun Ce is a prince after all, so we should wait for him!"
"That's right, it seems our Ah Xuan must be living a very good life in Prince Jin's Mansion..."
Everyone laughed and joked for a while, and the time slipped away.
By the time the food had gotten cold, Lu Xuan felt increasingly depressed, but he didn't want to spoil the fun, so he decided to let everyone eat first.
By the time we finished our meal, it was already past noon.
She was a little flustered, and said goodbye to the people from the Duke's Mansion in a hurry and hurried back to the Prince's Mansion.
Sang Luo followed behind and comforted her, "Don't worry, Princess. The prince is a skilled martial artist, even better than me. Few can rival him. He might have other plans at the last minute, so he changed his schedule."
Lu Xuan pinched his fingers and did not answer Sang Luo.
Just on the second day after marrying him, his life was hanging by a thread and was in critical condition.
Even though he was about to die at that time, she didn't feel afraid at all. She spent a whole morning in a clear and methodical manner and quickly found the crux of the problem and resolved the curse of the evil object on him.
But now, even though it was just a temporary matter and she might have something to do, she was uncontrollably panicking.
After thinking it over and over again, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she finally stretched out her fingers to predict good or bad luck.
"The universe moves, the sun and the moon are its mirrors. Where inspiration strikes, good and bad are revealed. The course of heaven is constant, the destiny of earth is unpredictable. A single finger can predict the fate of the universe!"
Opening his eyes, Lu Xuan looked at the hexagram he had deduced in his hand, and his face turned pale.
Bad luck!
Holding his hand against his pounding heart, Lu Xuan ordered the driver, "Uncle Yuan, please go faster!"
Seeing Lu Xuan's expression, Sang Luo already had a guess in her mind: "Princess, is the situation not good?"
Lu Xuan nodded, "Today is a sign of great misfortune, there will be blood."
Sang Luo, who had been certain that Jiang Xing would be safe no matter what, could no longer remain calm.
Having followed the princess for so long, she is well aware of her strength.
If she says it's a disaster, then it must be a disaster.
Can……
Looking at Lu Xuan's flat belly, her heart felt like it was burning with a pot of hot charcoal.
If the prince is ill, what will the princess do?
I heard before that the princess's mission is to give birth to a child within seven years. She is not pregnant yet. So, if something happens to the prince, doesn't that mean the princess will only live for another six years at most?
No, no matter what, we must find the prince today!
After returning to the palace, Lu Xuan got off the carriage and immediately ran to the gatehouse, "Is the prince back? Have you seen him?"
The doorman was astonished. "Didn't the prince go to court early this morning? I haven't seen him come back."
I haven’t seen him come back... Hearing this, Lu Xuan felt as if someone was playing Cuju in her chest, and the sound of "dong dong dong" almost broke her body.
She turned her head and instructed Sang Luo, "This is just one of the doors. There are three others. Sang Luo, send people to investigate as quickly as possible! I'll go to Cunxin Palace to check. The prince might have entered through another door."
"Yes!"
A line of guards dispersed from the Zhengyi Gate, and Lu Xuan ran quickly towards the Cunxin Hall, holding up the hem of her skirt.
Perhaps because of her previous experiences of being chased by Jiang Yuanfeng, she had become so skilled that she did not even pause for the entire journey.
However, when she entered the palace, she pushed open the doors of the rooms where he was most likely to appear, and her heart grew colder and colder.
Except for the servants standing in the hall, the rooms were empty, without a trace of his warmth.
Every smile she had was shattered by the freezing cold. When she arrived at the study room, which she had been looking forward to the most, Lu Xuan finally couldn't smile anymore.
There is no one here at all.
At this time, Sang Luo also rushed over, "Princess, I asked at all four gates, and they all said that the prince has never returned!"
"Where's Feixing? Where's Xuan Ge?"
"Feixing and Xuan Ge were both taken away by the prince!"
Calming himself, Lu Xuan hurriedly called out, "Uncle Zhong, call Uncle Zhong over!"
The palace steward, Zhong Bo, came to her in a moment. "Princess, are you looking for this old servant?"
Nodding, Lu Xuan spoke quickly, "The prince might be in trouble. Does Uncle Zhong know how to contact the secret guards at the mansion and have them find information about the prince and Feixing and the others?"
"Don't worry, Princess. The prince has previously instructed that if there are special circumstances, the Princess' orders will be obeyed by the secret guards as well. Just leave it to this old servant!"
Zhong Bo walked out quickly, and heard the sound of fireworks exploding in the outer courtyard. It seemed that Zhong Bo had gone to find someone for her.
Lu Xuan led Sang Luo to get on the carriage again to look for someone, but at this moment, the servant from the Zhengyi Gate came running in hurriedly.
"Princess, someone has a letter for you."
"A letter?" She reached out to take the letter, but she already had some bad suspicions in her mind.
At this critical juncture, there were almost no people who could write to her, and almost everyone around her sent servants to pass messages to her.
Who would write to her?
As soon as the finest rice paper is opened, the fragrance of imperial ink wafts from the paper into your nose.
"Ah Xuan, I'm glad to see you. I've been feeling troubled since my separation from the Emperor's uncle. Last night, I took advantage of the guards' laxity and uncovered the secrets of the Eastern Palace. Please come quickly."
"Also, the palace is heavily guarded. This mission is of grave importance. To facilitate your escape, please do not bring any followers with you. Going alone will resolve this urgent situation. My life depends on this. I await your arrival."
The prince's seal at the end was particularly eye-catching. Her trembling fingertips couldn't hold it, and a page of letter fell to the ground.
Lu Xuan's eyes were filled with tears.
The last time the prince entered the Eastern Palace, he had clearly learned about the secret passage from Qingyuan and Qingdai. Although there are still some strange things at present, this letter is still talking about the mystery of the Eastern Palace, which is not in line with common sense.
Based on her understanding of the prince's intelligence, he would not really write these things down on paper so casually, let alone in such formal small characters.
It mentioned that she had to go alone, and at the end it emphasized that her life depended on it.
It's obvious that the other party has taken action!
Worried that she wouldn't go, he deliberately borrowed the prince's name!
He kept hinting to her that this letter concerned a person's life.
But, that life didn’t belong to the prince, but to the prince!
