Within half an hour, Magpie Bridge and even the entire river were surrounded by imperial guards.
"Your Highness, there is still no trace of His Highness the Second! I only found this thing by the Magpie Bridge!"
The leader of the Royal Forest Army half-knelt in front of Jiang Jinyu and respectfully presented something.
"Second... brother." When Jiang Zao saw the purple jade forbidden step, his little face suddenly became anxious.
[Isn’t that the second brother’s personal belongings? ? 】
[Baby just now saw that the second brother wanted to pay for the money! It's over, it's over, it's the second brother who fell in! 】
Xiaotuanzi's big anxious eyes were suddenly filled with tears, but they began to fall down in a flash.
Previously, the leader of the Royal Forest Army divided the Royal Forest Army into two groups. One group went to find Jiang Jinyan, and the other group went to fish the lake.
Now that no one is found in the lake, naturally those who look for him cannot find him either.
There are guards all over the place for hundreds of miles to ensure the safety of the people.
Seeing his little sister acting like this, Jiang Jinyu felt distressed immediately, "Okay, okay, Xiao Yu'er, stop crying, the elder brother will definitely find his second brother."
"You cry like a little cat. When my second brother finds you later, he will definitely laugh at you."
After finishing his words, Jiang Jinyu said to the leader of the Royal Forest Army, "Let the people go ahead and search a hundred miles away for another hour. If you can't find him, come back and report."
"Yes! Your Highness!" The leader of the Royal Forest Army responded.
The search range has been expanded to a hundred miles. If it cannot be found, it has completely disappeared without a trace.
But how can a living person disappear?
Jiang Zao stared at the dark lake with red eyes.
[The second brother is good at water. How come he turned his head so smoothly that the baby fell into the water without looking and disappeared so quickly? 】
[There's something wrong...Wait a minute, where's that pretty sister! 】
Xiaotuanzi suddenly raised his head and turned around.
But now the people are being dispersed, and there are not many people left on the Magpie Bridge.
Jiang Jinyu heard the soft voice reaching his ears, but it didn't soothe his worries much.
In this case, when the second brother fell into the water, he didn't seem to see the woman just now!
"Grab...grab!" Jiang Zao's soft little paws hugged Jiang Jinyu's legs. He looked up with a pair of teary eyes, looking very pitiful.
She seemed extremely worried about her second brother, and worried that her elder brother wouldn't understand her, so she just squeezed out a few more words, "That, sister!"
But it's still incomplete.
But Jiang Jinyu already understood in his heart.
He knelt down, looked level with Jiang Zao, and comforted him in a warm voice, "Don't panic, Xiao Yu'er, big brother will go find someone right now."
A full hour later.
The leader of the Royal Forest Army came back with a cold sweat on his face. He knelt on the ground and apologized, "I am incompetent and can't find His Highness. Please forgive me."
"What about the woman?" Jiang Jinyu frowned, with a vague premonition in his heart.
If that woman were an ordinary person, even if two guardsmen were sent out to knock on the door in an hour, they would have found her.
Unless——that woman is not an ordinary person! The approach to his second brother was premeditated!
The chill in my heart gradually spread to my limbs.
He suddenly remembered that he had just arrived in Yanshan to lead troops to support his second brother in suppressing bandits.
At that time, just like today, the second brother could not be found in the cave and almost disappeared!
Jiang Zao clenched his little paws and stared at the leader of the Royal Forest Army, hoping that his answer would bring a glimmer of hope.
"Can't find it." The leader of the Royal Forest Army lowered his head.
He is a dignified leader, but he is so useless that people will laugh at him if word spreads about him!
【Why can't I find it? 】
Jiang Zao's big eyes turned red again, and he even cried anxiously.
Jiang Jinyan hugged Jiang Zao and stroked her back gently, while a pair of dark eyes like night stared at the leader unblinkingly, "Did all the people on Magpie Bridge check at that time? Can there be any mistakes?"
"We have checked them all. Only one person said that he had seen the woman. She fell into the lake after His Highness fell into the water. However, we also searched all over the lake. Except for the water plants in the lake, we did not find a single figure. …”
The leader of the Royal Forest Army knelt on the ground and answered softly, "We have even investigated the river outside the city that this lake leads to."
This completely proves that Jiang Jinyan and the woman disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Zao felt sad when he heard this, but his little brows furrowed because of another news.
Leading to the river outside the city?
[It’s over, how come I have already changed the fate of my father, mother and brothers, but my second brother was kidnapped in the same way as before! 】
[The baby really deserves to be punished, what is it about that woman that makes the second brother fall in love at first sight! It was clearly... the person behind the scenes sent to kidnap the second brother! 】
Jiang Jinyu listened to that soft voice, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became.
Only this time did he remember that although his second brother had never made any purchases, the housekeeper should prepare a money bag for him when he came out of the house.
Looking at it now, it turns out that the woman made the move first and took away Jiang Jinyan's money bag, leaving him with no money to buy lanterns. Then she quietly appeared and took away his soul.
When people are in the most critical situation, they will always have a good impression of those who help them.
"Go...back." Jiang Zao hugged Jiang Jinyu's neck at this moment.
It was pitch dark everywhere, even the lanterns on the lake had been extinguished.
The place that swallowed Jiang Jinyan looked particularly scary, as if something would jump out of it in the next moment and swallow him and his eldest brother together.
Jiang Jinyu noticed that the little dumpling in his arms was trembling, so he drove away the imperial guards and walked back with the little dumpling in his arms.
[It’s all the baby’s fault. I shouldn’t have thought of it. Isn’t it possible to put lanterns in the palace? It’s all the baby’s fault. 】
Jiang Zao buried his little face in his elder brother's arms and burst into tears.
"Okay, Xiao Yu'er can't be entirely blamed for this." Jiang Jinyu comforted his little sister, his eyes full of love.
He found that the area where Jiang Zao had touched her was wet, so he opened his mouth to comfort him.
"Those bad guys want to plot against us, but they can't control it. Xiao Yu'er doesn't have to blame himself. Remember, when you return to the palace, just blame everything on your elder brother."
Hearing this, Jiang Zao raised his head in shock, "No...it's okay!"
In her desperation, she didn't stutter so much when she spoke!
Xiao Tuanzi seemed anxious and wanted to say something else, but Jiang Jinyu did not allow her to resist. He pressed her little head into his arms and quickened his pace.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Fengqi Palace.
Xue Xiangrong and Jiang Huaijing hurried from the Yangxin Hall as soon as they heard the news.
The two of them looked like they had already rested. They only wore a robe outside their inner clothes and sat on the main seat in Fengqi Palace.
Jiang Huaijing was a little angry and stared coldly at the two silent figures in front of him, one large and one small.
"Who can tell me first, what's going on?!" His angry voice echoed in the silent Fengqi Palace!
"It's Erchen." Jiang Jinyu said decisively, "Erchen and his second brother wanted Xiao Yu'er to see the lantern, but unexpectedly..."
"You bastard!" Jiang Huaijing was furious and threw the tea cup at Jiang Jinyu!
