Hearing what Caihuan said, Gu Beichen frowned slightly and told Qingfeng, "Prepare the carriage immediately!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Not long after, the carriage from Prince Rong's Palace galloped through the night, heading towards the palace.
Caihuan knelt down in the carriage and tremblingly told Gu Beichen the ins and outs of An Ruowan's entry into the palace today.
"My lord, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. The palace door has been locked. If you enter the palace at this time, I'm afraid you will be criticized."
Qingfeng said from the side: "I will go into the palace first to explore the truth. Your Majesty, it will not be too late for you to enter the palace again. I am afraid that the disappearance of the princess is because of you."
Gu Beichen's expression was indifferent. As long as he could achieve his goal, he never cared about the life and death of others, but this time he said: "No need, just enter the palace."
In the palace at this time.
An Ruowan woke up and found that her eyes were completely dark and her hands and feet were tied!
Fortunately, her mouth was not blocked. She tried to twist her hands that were tied together, but her wrists hurt from the rough hemp rope!
Thousands of waves passed through her heart. An Ruowan blinked her eyes, her eyelashes streaking across the black cloth. Who dares to kidnap someone in the palace?
She was confused and confused when she suddenly heard a deep man's voice.
"Miss An, I have no other intention of inviting you here today. I just have a small question to ask you."
It could be heard that the voice was very close to her. An Ruowan was not sure whether the person was standing in front of her, so she stopped struggling.
An Ruowan frowned, "Is this your attitude when inviting people over? You tie them up and blindfold them. Are you that shameless?"
The person in the distance took a while before speaking, "You are quite sharp-tongued."
No matter what the man's reaction was, when An Ruowan moved and was restrained behind him, she asked him, "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is the question I'm going to ask you next."
An Ruowan simply leaned to the side and softened her tone, "If I don't answer, do you want to kill me?"
"I don't want to embarrass you either."
The deep voice slowly sounded, "I'm just looking for something and want to ask Miss An if she has seen the Yingli Token."
What token? She had never heard of this thing at all.
But what An Ruowan said was, "What are you looking for?"
At this moment, the man suddenly became excited when he spoke, "The thing is really in your hand?!"
An Ruowan put her hands behind her back, holding the blade in her hand, and calmly cut the rope on her wrist.
There was a calm expression on her face, and she seemed relaxed as she said, "The token is in my hand, but so what?"
The voice that had just spoken to her suddenly disappeared. An Ruowan waited for a long time, but did not hear the other person's voice again.
She tentatively said, "If you tied me here just for the token, I think you will be disappointed today."
…
After saying that, after waiting for a while, the direction where Ben was speaking was still silent. The movements behind An Ruowan were faster, and the rope that bound her seemed to have loosened!
Gu Beichen entered the palace in the middle of the night and shocked many people in the palace!
When the Queen's Palace heard that An Ruowan was missing in the palace, they immediately sent people around to look for her.
"What? Missing in the palace?"
Concubine Rong gently waved her fan. When she heard the palace people reporting back and forth, she sneered and said, "Maybe she offended someone and was taught a lesson."
The palace man lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, someone from Kunning Palace came to ask if your Majesty had seen An Ruowan later."
Concubine Rong raised her phoenix eyes and stared at the little palace maid, "The Queen is suspicious of me?"
"This slave dare not say anything..."
Concubine Rong threw the fan aside. Thinking of An Ruowan's words today, she touched her belly a little harder with her fingers, "I'm tired. Please tell those people not to bother me."
"Yes, I understand."
Snap.
The rope was completely cut by An Ruowan and fell to the ground. She was so stiff that she didn't dare to move rashly!
It wasn't until she was sure there was no movement around that she raised her hand and pulled off the black cloth in front of her eyes!
An Ruowan's vision returned. She squinted her eyes subconsciously and saw the moonlight shining outside the palace. It seemed like a palace.
Without having time to think about it, she immediately untied the rope tied to her ankles, ran over, pushed open the palace door, and ran out in one go.
Afraid that someone would chase her out, An Ruowan ignored everyone's ladylike demeanor and ran while shouting while holding up her skirt.
"Is there anyone?! Someone is coming!!"
An Ruowan ran as if there was a wild beast chasing her. She ran into the corridor in front and tripped!
She swayed suddenly and was about to fall into the pond next to her!
"careful!"
An Ruowan closed her eyes tightly and fell down resignedly, but was pulled back by a force!
She opened her eyes and saw a man with a handsome face holding her wrist with one hand and protecting her waist with the other, bringing her back.
"Are you okay?"
After the panic, An Ruowan recognized that this person was the fifth prince who was following the second prince.
An Ruowan quickly took a step back and saluted him respectfully, "I have met His Highness the Fifth Prince."
Gu Chenze looked at An Ruowan with a hint of concern, "Miss An? The palace door has been closed, why are you still in the palace?"
"My maid..."
Just as she was about to speak, she was attracted by the sound outside.
"You guys go look over there. Qingfeng, follow me to the front and take a look."
Hearing Gu Beichen's voice, An Ruowan didn't care about anything else and ran out from the corridor with her skirt in hand.
"Gu Beichen!"
Gu Beichen looked at An Ruowan who was rushing out of the alley. Before he could react, he was hugged by someone!
The two of them had never been so close, and Gu Beichen never liked to be in contact with others.
Qingfeng was stunned and silently retreated into the distance, "See no evil, see no evil!"
Gu Beichen raised a hand and pushed the person holding him away. His eyes were full of disgust. He looked at her dirty cheeks and took out a handkerchief and threw it to her.
"Wipe your face, it's dirty."
An Ruowan rolled her eyes inwardly aggrievedly, this Gu Beichen! How long have you still cared about this?
Gu Beichen raised his eyes and saw Gu Chenze walking out not far away, his expression unchanged.
"Chen Ze has met the emperor's uncle." The fifth prince stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
Then he straightened up and looked at An Ruowan, "Is the emperor here to see Miss An?"
Gu Beichen stared at Gu Chenze leisurely, "It's so late, what are you doing here?"
Gu Chenze still had a faint smile on his face, "I'm here to deliver medicine to my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law has been feeling unwell recently and just drank the medicine and fell asleep."
"I was lured there by Miss An's shouting. This place is relatively remote, and my nephew was afraid something might happen to someone, so he came over to take a look. Unexpectedly, it was Miss An."
Gu Beichen raised his eyes and looked at An Ruowan, who was a little scared, "Let's go, follow me to the Emperor's Palace."
