The next morning!
The sky was still bright and Lin Bai was still asleep with Su Mingyue in his arms, and he heard the commotion outside.
Su Mingyue slept lightly and woke up immediately, "Husband, did something happen outside?"
Chai Yue was alert and had already gotten up and went out to check.
The talented man was still sleepy and muttered: "It's still the middle of the night! Who has eaten too much and has nothing to do..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Xiaojiu's urgent voice, "Brother Qingfeng, Brother Qingfeng..."
Soon, Zhuiyue walked in with Xiaojiu.
Lin Bai looked puzzled. It was so late at night. Why was Xiaojiu not sleeping? Could something have happened? He immediately asked: "Xiaojiu, what's wrong?"
Xiao Jiu's eyes were red and she choked with sobs: "Brother Qingfeng, the emperor...the emperor is missing."
What?
Lin Bai was startled for a moment, Gu Ling'er was missing? How come the big guy is missing? Not a three-year-old.
"Xiaojiu, did you make a mistake? Why did your royal family disappear?"
Su Mingyue also consoled her: "Yes! Ninth Prince, aren't there many guards around your imperial sister? She will definitely be fine. Did she not tell you where she went?"
"No, no!"
Xiaojiu shook her head quickly, "Sister Huang went to the theater last night and asked me to rest first. Then I woke up and wanted to see Sister Huang, but I found that Sister Huang was not there. After asking, I found out that Sister Huang had not returned home all night."
"Brother Qingfeng, something must have happened to Sister Huang. Sister Huang never stays up all night. He comes to see me every day before going to bed. The first thing he does when he gets up is to see me. Something must have happened to Sister Huang..."
Xiao Jiu's eyes were red, and his immature face was full of anxiety and panic.
Lin Bai's expression also changed, but he was not too nervous. There were many guards around Gu Ling'er, so he immediately asked: "Where are your imperial sister's guards?"
Xiaojiu shook his head and said, "The guards didn't see anyone either."
Su Mingyue comforted: "Ninth Prince, don't worry, since the guard is with the third princess, he will be fine."
Xiao Jiu said: "But...but Sister Huang will never stay home all night, brother Qingfeng..."
Lin Bai didn't dare to neglect him. Although Gu Ling'er was surrounded by guards, there was something wrong with him staying out all night. He immediately asked, "What did General Shen say?"
Xiao Jiu was accompanied by several guards. They were outside the door and did not enter the room at this moment. They heard Lin Bai's question and replied: "Back to Mr. Lin, General Shen has already taken people to Danfeng Tower."
Danfeng Tower?
Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, "Why go to Danfeng Tower?"
The guard replied: "The theaters in Kyoto are under renovation, and the place where the third princess watches the theater is the Danfeng Tower."
Lin Bai:......
Gu Linger spent the night in a brothel? Are these girls so wild?
wrong!
He may not know who Gu Ling'er is, but he knows how serious Xiao Jiu is. Just as Xiao Jiu said, the other person shouldn't stay out all night, let alone a brothel.
Did something really happen?
If this were to happen, it would be a big deal. The other party was Princess Tianwu who was married to the Wu Dynasty. It was unimaginable if something went wrong.
Moreover, Danfeng Tower is not a good place. It is a romantic place, where dragons and snakes are mixed together, and countless shady things are hidden. Apart from other things, the first time he was attacked, it was suspected that the third prince did it. According to Han What Sanqian said is related to Danfeng Tower.
Shadow Pavilion also has spies in Danfeng Tower, which is evident.
This is what he knows, and he doesn't know how much he doesn't know.
etc!
The third prince? Could something really happen?
The great talent felt bad all over. He had no sleep at all. He threw on some clothes randomly and said, "Let's go! Go to Danfeng Tower."
On the way, he asked the guards again. Because they were in Danfeng Tower, it was not good to have too many guards at once, so Gu Ling'er didn't bring too many guards.
He just brought a few personal guards, almost like an ordinary young man.
But even so, those guards were all Gu Ling'er's personal guards, and their strength was extraordinary. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems, but for some reason they didn't return home all night.
Xiao Jiu was obviously anxious, and her eye circles were always red.
Lin Bai comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Xiaojiu. There will be no guards around."
He said this, but he was actually a little unsure. After all, Gu Ling'er regarded Xiao Jiu very seriously, and as a princess of the Wu Dynasty, it was logically impossible for her to spend the night in Danfeng Tower.
Do you really want no reputation at all?
Gu Ling'er may not care about reputation, but it's not necessary at all! The only thing that gave him some comfort was that there were guards following him. As long as the guards were there, nothing would go wrong.
Xiaojiu also nodded, and could only think like this for the time being.
At this time, it was already dawn, many pedestrians appeared on the street one after another, many shops were already open, and the group of people walked in a hurry.
Suddenly, a guard shouted: "Look! It's Old Wolf and the others, the princess's guards."
Looking for the guard, he saw not far ahead, several burly men walking towards them, still cursing.
Those people also discovered a group of people coming this way.
Lin Bai's face couldn't help but change, "You said they are the guards of the third princess?"
At this moment, he only saw a few people, but he didn't see any Gu Ling'er.
Several guards were obviously surprised and rushed forward quickly, "Old Wolf, why are you here? Where is the princess?"
The big man known as Old Wolf was obviously startled, and then asked: "Didn't the princess go back?"
Hearing this, Lin Bai's face suddenly darkened. The reason why he was calm was because there were guards around, but looking at the situation now, these guards didn't know anything about it.
One can imagine.
He quickly asked: "What's going on? Why aren't you with the third princess?"
These people had all gone to the south of the Yangtze River with Lin Bai, and they did not reject Lin Bai's questioning. Moreover, they also saw that there was something wrong in the expressions of the group of people, so they immediately explained the matter again.
"The princess didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, so she asked us to go to the Yamen with the officers and soldiers. Who would have thought of the Yamen? Those bastards said that we were spies, and they didn't let us go until just now..."
Lin Bai's face was already ashen.
This was clearly a long-planned plan to detain Lao Lang and his group on purpose. Why should they be detained? The answer is obvious, go for Gu Ling'er.
Otherwise, what's the point of embarrassing a few guards?
Who is it? How audacious, actually dare to take action against Gu Ling'er? Don't you want to die?
Lin Bai couldn't help but feel anger on his face, "Quick! Danfeng Tower."
Immediately, he stopped delaying and started walking in a hurry.
Xiaojiu was even more panicked, with tears rolling in her eyes. The group of guards were obviously anxious, and they all turned pale and quickly headed towards Danfeng Tower.
When a group of people arrived, they found that a large group of people had gathered in front of Danfeng Tower, and they were making a lot of noise.
