"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!"
"It's something serious, Your Highness!"
"..."
Lin Bao avoided the patrolling guards and ran wildly, and then returned to the third prince's palace without any danger.
Song Liang was sleeping soundly, and when he heard Lin Bao's lowered exclamation, he turned over impatiently.
"Don't you know that I am a light sleeper and cannot withstand being frightened?"
"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow morning!"
Lin Bao was covered in sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the lake.
Seeing that Song Liang was so disapproving, Lin Bao was so anxious that he was almost smoking!
"Your Highness, something really happened!"
"Those eyeliners were supposed to be working with the slaves tonight!"
"But tonight..."
"These people seemed to have made an appointment and disappeared en masse!"
"What?"
After hearing this, Song Liang finally woke up completely and sat up from the bed.
"Lin Bao, what did you just say?"
"Disappear collectively?"
Lin Bao nodded and opened his mouth with a cry: "This slave has been waiting in the Royal Garden for a full hour, and was almost discovered by the patrolling guards!"
"In the end, those people didn't even show their faces, as if they had never existed!"
"Your Highness, what exactly happened?"
Song Liang had just woken up, which was equivalent to his brain being suddenly forced to turn on, and he was still in an extremely confused state.
Hearing Lin Bao's urgent inquiry, his brain became a mess.
"Shut up!"
"Let me take a good look at you first!"
"You mean that when Qiu Rong disappeared, everyone in the other departments in the palace also disappeared?"
Lin Bao didn't dare to speak, so he could only nod his head heavily.
Song Liang reacted for a long time and finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
"When you discovered that Qiu Rong disappeared in the afternoon, did the others also disappear with her?"
Lin Bao turned his head and recalled for a moment, then immediately shook his head.
Seeing Lin Bao nodding and shaking his head, Song Liang was extremely irritable: "I am asking you, are you mute?"
"talk!"
Lin Bao felt a little aggrieved: "You were the one who told me to shut up just now..."
Seeing Song Liang's sullen expression, Lin Bao did not dare to say anything and said hurriedly: "When I came out of the Imperial Tea House in the afternoon, I happened to see the path to the flower house."
"Xiao Luzi is also one of yours, His Highness. He was still in the palace at that time."
"It proves that everyone else should still be in the palace!"
After hearing this, Song Liang finally understood what happened.
"In other words, Qiu Rong disappeared first, and then the others disappeared?"
Lin Bao nodded, and then quickly added: "Yes, Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, tell me, does this matter have anything to do with Qiu Rong?"
"Could it be that she temporarily rebelled and made everyone else follow suit..."
"Impossible!" Song Liang said coldly, "She doesn't dare."
"Her life doesn't matter, but she certainly doesn't dare to risk the lives of her sister and her mother."
"Even if she wants to die, she can't drag her sister and her mother to die together!"
Lin Bao thoughtfully said: "Indeed..."
"Then tell me, what's going on?"
Song Liangliang was in a mess. Hearing that Lin Bao was still making trouble for him, his mood couldn't help but become even worse.
"Ask, you know how to ask!"
"If I have a dog and know how to smell it, please let me check for their traces!"
"Aside from asking this king, what else will you do?"
Seeing that Lin Bao was dejected and did not dare to say anything, Song Liang sighed and softened his tone slightly.
"I am worried, so I just want to say a few words to you."
"You don't have any objections to this king, do you?"
Lin Bao shook his head like a rattle: "Of course not!"
"Your Highness, what are you talking about?"
"When I was young, my slave was desperate and homeless. It was you who took him in and kept him with you!"
"If you hadn't saved my slave in time, I would have died of the cold outside!"
"I will never be able to repay your kindness to you in eight lifetimes!"
"My slave is willing to die for you, so how can he be resentful of you?"
After receiving such a firm reply from Lin Bao, Song Liang seemed to have swallowed a reassurance and nodded with satisfaction.
"Don't always talk about death or death, it's unlucky!"
"How could I let you die?"
"Don't forget, in the future, I want you to become a big shot like Xue Hai!"
Hearing this, Lin Bao smiled happily: "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness!"
"The slave must obey orders. Whatever His Highness says, the slave will do it!"
"What should we do next? As long as your Highness gives you an order, my servant will definitely do it!"
Song Liang pondered for a moment and continued to say to Lin Bao: "There are too many guards patrolling the palace. It is not safe to go out to inquire for information."
"Tomorrow morning, you go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few times and tell me that the path to the flower house is supposed to deliver flowers to the king."
"But you've been waiting for him for most of the day, and he still hasn't come. I don't know what's going on."
"I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to look for someone, but I couldn't find him anywhere!"
"Let's see what the Ministry of Internal Affairs says!"
"remember!"
"We must keep calm and don't let the Ministry of Internal Affairs discover any flaws!"
Lin Bao nodded repeatedly: "Yes!"
"A slave is doing things, your Highness, are you still worried?"
"Early tomorrow morning, I will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to inquire about the news!"
After Lin Bao left, looking out the window at the still gloomy night, Song Liang was no longer sleepy.
He is not worried that these informants will betray him, because as long as people live in this world, they will definitely have weaknesses.
Some people's weakness is greed, some people's weakness is jealousy, some people's weakness is family affection...
When people live in this world, they always become slaves to something!
In fact, they will regard this matter as more important than their lives.
Once you grasp the target of someone's surrender, you can easily control the other person.
This is also the only principle that Song Liang believes in during his twenty years in the world!
Therefore, Song Liang had no doubt that these people would betray him easily.
But it is really incredible that all these eyeliners have disappeared.
This is the eyeliner that Song Liang has been wearing since he was a child. The shortest term can be two or three years, and the long term can be seven or eight years.
More importantly, Song Liang has always been tight-lipped and has never mentioned this matter to anyone.
This is a secret that even Song De doesn't know!
From any angle, this matter is extremely hidden and there is absolutely no chance of anyone discovering it!
Song Liang thought about any possibility, but in the end he rejected them one by one.
Could it be that……
Is it the fourth child?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"The fourth child is just a little smart. In front of me, he is just a little bit of a master of his own craft!"
"If he could really find out all the informants in one go, I would be willing to lie on the ground and kowtow to him ten times!"
Song Liang couldn't help but sneer. The fourth child couldn't even guess his father's mood. How could he discover such a hidden secret?
No such possibility!
It seems that the truth can only be roughly determined after Lin Bao asks the Ministry of Internal Affairs tomorrow.
