The next day, the princess's wedding was held as scheduled. Feng Shuting in the palace was feeling a little depressed at this time. Several days had passed since Ye Hong left, during which Ye Hong never came to see her again. Feng Shuting gently stroked the colorful feathers in front of her, feeling a little more missing.
"Sister Feng! Why don't you change your clothes? The groom is coming to pick you up soon."
"Qiong Yu, it's not like you don't know that I don't like him. I don't want to marry him!"
When Mo Qiongyu saw the colorful feather coat in front of Feng Shuting, wasn't it the same one that Ye Hong took from the treasure house, he immediately said teasingly: "Hehe~ Sister Feng, are you still thinking about your junior brother?"
"No! What do I want him to do!" After Mo Qiongyu said it right, Feng Shuting's face immediately turned red with embarrassment, and she lowered her head and did not dare to look directly at Mo Qiongyu.
Of course, this couldn't be hidden from Mo Qiongyu's eyes, and Mo Qiongyu was already shrewd, so he could figure out this kind of thing easily. He immediately stepped forward and hugged Feng Shuting from behind.
"Sister Feng, I went back to the academy to complete the graduation procedures two days ago. Leader Mo told me that my junior brother had left the imperial capital long ago."
After hearing this, Feng Shuting's mood inevitably dropped a bit, and she began to feel sad. Mo Qiongyu seemed to sense Feng Shuting's mood and said again,
"But I went to the empire's flying boat docking point to check, and there was no record of my junior brother leaving the imperial capital."
Feng Shuting finally recovered a little, but was disturbed by Mo Qiongyu's next words.
"However, it is not ruled out that Junior Brother hid his whereabouts and left the Imperial Capital, because the ordinary cabin of the flying boat does not require registration, and the only way to leave the Imperial Capital is by flying boat."
"Qiong Yu! Are you looking for a fight? You did it on purpose!" Feng Shuting turned around and pretended to hit Mo Qiong Yu.
"Hehe~ Sister Feng, your heart is confused! You are telling the truth!"
After saying that, Mo Qiongyu hurriedly ran away. Feng Shuting caught up and beat Mo Qiongyu. The two chased Mo Qiongyu in the room for a while. Feng Shuting's mood inexplicably got better and she relaxed. No more frowning.
The two of them were tired of fighting and had some time to rest. Mo Qiongyu said to Feng Shuting: "Sister Feng! I can't help you escape, but if you get married and are wronged in the future, you can come to me and I will help you beat that person up." What a second son."
"I believe in him, he will definitely not let me get married! I just need to wait for him to pick me up." Feng Shuting said firmly.
"But the second son is coming to pick up the bride soon. Is it possible that the younger brother can steal the bride in public? But think about it, it's so romantic!" Mo Qiongyu returned to normal after being infatuated for a while, and then said,
"But Junior Brother probably won't do this. He is not that impulsive. If he did such a stupid thing, then I would have overestimated Junior Brother before, unless he has the strength to provoke the entire Tianfeng Empire."
Feng Shuting and Mo Qiongyu just waited in the room until noon, but no maid came to help Feng Shuting dress up or urge her.
"It's already noon, something is wrong! Sister Feng, let me go out and see what's going on."
Mo Qiongyu went out to inquire about it, and then he understood what was going on, and then hurried back to Feng Shuting's room.
"Sister Feng! Do you know what I heard? Zhong Shaoqing has disappeared unexpectedly. The entire Zhong Mansion is looking for someone all over the imperial capital. Even His Majesty was alarmed and sent many guards throughout the city to search for him.
Zhong Shaoqing disappeared suddenly. Sister Feng, do you think it has something to do with my junior brother? "
In the morning, the maid of the Zhong Mansion came to dress Zhong Shaoqing, but found that there was no one in the room, so she went to notify Zhong Hong. Zhong Hong thought that Zhong Shaoqing was hiding for fear of marriage, so he began to sense Zhong Shaoqing's whereabouts.
However, he did not expect to find Zhong Shaoqing in the Zhong Mansion after several inductions. He interrogated all the servants, but no one knew the whereabouts of Zhong Shaoqing. Zhong Hong knew that Zhong Shaoqing must have sneaked out to hang out again, so he sent people out of the house. Go to the place where Zhong Shaoqing often goes in the city to look for it.
"What! You haven't found my son yet! Then keep looking for me! Ask his friends! Even if you turn the entire imperial capital upside down, you have to find him for me!"
Soon the news of Zhong Mansion's missing Zhong Shaoqing spread throughout the imperial capital, and Emperor Tianfeng was furious.
"What is Zhong Hong doing! The groom disappeared on the wedding day! Do you think my royal family is easy to bully! Come here! Follow me to see Zhong Mansion to ask for an explanation!"
The Zhong Mansion was now in chaos. Emperor Tianfeng came to question him again. Zhong Hong was immediately furious.
"Your Majesty! It's not that I don't give you face, it's that I really can't find the child. I've sent people to look for him all morning!"
"How could a living person disappear out of thin air? You, Zhong Hong, are teasing me! I have already wronged my daughter to marry your youngest son, and now you are doing this to me!" Emperor Tianfeng was also furious.
At this moment, a servant rushed in hurriedly,
"Master! Master! We found news about the young master!"
"Tell me quickly! Where is that bastard thing!" Zhong Hong stared angrily, picked up the servant who came in and asked.
"Zhao Ji from the Zhao Mansion said that he met the young master at... Baihua Building last night." The servant became quieter as he spoke, for fear that Zhong Hong would lose his temper again.
Emperor Tianfeng was furious, "Zhong Hong! What a good son you raised! You went to a place like that to hang out on the eve of your wedding! Are you despising the majesty of my royal family? It doesn't matter if we don't get married!"
"Your Majesty! The most important thing now is to find my son. We can discuss other matters later!"
Emperor Tianfeng snorted coldly, "I will send someone to help you find your son, but we have to renegotiate this engagement!"
After saying this, Emperor Tianfeng walked away, and Zhong Hong hurriedly led people to Baihua Tower.
"What! You said my son is missing! I don't know where he is!"
"Master Zhong! I really don't know where Mr. Zhong has gone! He did come to my place last night, but he left at some point! We really don't know!" An old bustard from Baihua Tower knelt down and begged.
"I don't know anything! What's the use of you! Let's all die!" Zhong Hong was furious and was about to kill everyone who was kneeling in front of him begging for mercy.
At this time, Zhong Shaotian on the side hurriedly came out to stop them and said: "Dad! We can't kill them yet. This is the only clue before we find Shaoqing."
"Yes! Master Zhong, please don't kill me! We will definitely cooperate with you to find Young Master Zhong!" The Madam kowtowed hurriedly and begged.
Zhong Shaotian continued: "Dad, please rest aside for a while, and then leave it to me."
Zhong Hong was still very satisfied with Zhong Shaotian. Zhong Shaotian was also his most proud son. Both his cultivation talent and his brain were tens of thousands of times better than Zhong Shaoqing's, so he left the matter to Zhong Shaotian to handle with confidence.
"Who served the young lady last night?" Zhong Shaotian asked sternly to the kneeling girls.
"Returning to... returning to the young master, it's Xiaohuan." One of the prostitutes said tremblingly.
"Who is Xiaohuan! Come out and answer!"
"Sir, Xiaohuan is also missing."
"Did they both disappear at the same time?"
"No...not sure."
"Take me to the room where the two of them stayed!" Zhong Shaotian said again.
Zhong Shaotian came to the room and scanned it and found that there was nothing unusual, so he asked the prostitute who was leading the way,
"You are sure this is the room!"
"Sir, it's indeed this room. Young Master Zhong has never changed rooms since he came here."
Zhong Shaotian carefully checked everywhere in the room and found nothing strange, so he asked the old man who was following him,
"Old Qing, have you discovered anything?"
Qing Lao paused and replied: "Master, the fire element in this room fluctuates strongly and is completely inconsistent with the surrounding environment. It seems that a fire attribute practitioner has manipulated the fire element here, and I found ash residue in the corner. I suspect that the young master may have been killed.
But there are no other traces here, so I don’t dare to make any rash judgments. If it is true that the young master was secretly murdered, then I can only say that the murderer was so cunning that he completely destroyed the body without leaving any traces. This kind of meticulous thinking is not something ordinary people can have. "
Zhong Shaotian asked the prostitute beside him,
"Did you notice anything unusual last night?"
"Back to you, sir, I didn't find anything unusual last night. The sisters also received guests as normal."
Zhong Shaotian suddenly frowned. There was no trace of this and there was no way to investigate it. Just when Zhong Shaotian was about to order all the prostitutes to be killed, a prostitute told her that two masked guests came to Baihua Tower last night.
"Guests wearing masks? Do you often have such guests?" Zhong Shaotian asked.
"Mr. Zhong, it's not unusual for us to have guests like this every once in a while." The madam said from the side.
Zhong Shaotian didn't want to give up any clues. He felt that the two people wearing masks were very suspicious, so he asked a lot of questions about the two people. He also went to the room where the two people had stayed to carefully check, but he found nothing useful. Information is just two ordinary prostitutes,
"You said it was the two people you served in the end. Did you notice anything unusual about them before they left?"
"It's nothing unusual. We both fell asleep because we drank too much. As a result, the two customers were dissatisfied. Otherwise, we could have made more money that night!" One of the prostitutes said with some regret.
Zhong Shaotian asked further: "You said you two fell asleep for a while! Did you fall asleep at the same time? Did you wake up at the same time?"
One of the prostitutes recalled it carefully and said: "It seems to be true! It's a bit strange when I think about it carefully. I shouldn't be that bad at drinking normally. I got drunk last night without drinking much."
The old man next to him said: "Master, it seems that they are undoubtedly those two people, but they have never seen their appearance. What should we do?"
Zhong Shaotian was also very helpless. This was the second time that he had encountered something like this that left him helpless. He clearly knew that this person was his opponent, but he was helpless.
Suddenly Zhong Shaotian had a flash of inspiration, as if he had figured out something, and hurriedly ran to Zhong Hong to report,
"Dad, Shaoqing may have been killed."
"What!"
Zhong Hong suddenly vomited blood and was furious. Zhong Shaotian hurriedly comforted Zhong Hong and told Zhong Hong the whole thing.
"Check it out for me! No matter what, we must catch the two murderers of my son! I want his whole family to be buried with him!"
"Dad, please calm down first! I have already speculated on some clues, but these are just my speculations and there is no evidence, so I will report to you after I find the definite evidence."
At this time, Ye Hong and others had already left the imperial capital. To be cautious, Ye Hong took Qin Feng and the others to the docking point of the imperial airship early in the morning and took a flight out of the imperial capital. He was afraid that his whereabouts would be traced. I only bought an ordinary class ticket.
Moreover, the flying boat he took was not heading to Tianjian City, but a random flight to a larger nearby city. Ye Hong decided to take the flying boat back to Tianjian City after arriving at that big city.
Although there will be some delays in the process, fortunately, it is safe. Even if Zhong Shaoqing's death is eventually traced to him, no one will be able to find him.
