After arriving at the inn, Xiao Jingzhi seemed to feel even more uneasy.
After explaining to Xin Heng, he prepared to leave Pingzhou temporarily.
"Your Majesty, do you mean to rush back to the capital overnight?" Xin Heng thought he heard wrongly.
Xiao Jingzhi looked uneasy, "I suspect something has happened in the capital."
Xin Heng knew without guessing that Xiao Jingzhi was really worried about Shen Yunshu.
"If the prince is really worried, his subordinates will immediately send a message to Jian Zhu. I believe it will be easier for Jian Zhu to rush back to the capital without anyone noticing."
Xin Heng was just afraid that if Xiao Jingzhi's departure from Pingzhou was known to others and spread to the emperor's ears, he would be in big trouble.
"Besides, the prince has already arranged everything for Miss Shen before leaving the capital. Mr. Zuo is also here. I believe Miss Shen will be fine."
Xiao Jingzhi was leaving the capital for a while, so before leaving, she took everything into consideration.
But Xiao Jingzhi was very determined to return to the capital, "I must go back in person."
"But even if the prince of Pingzhou works hard, he will still have to wait until tomorrow morning." Xin Heng felt that if Xiao Jingzhi rushed back now, he would not be able to make it in time even if something happened.
"Before I come back, I will leave all this to you." Xiao Jingzhi didn't know how long it would take to go back and forth from Pingzhou to the capital.
But compared with Shen Yunshu's safety, this distance is nothing.
Xin Heng was unable to dissuade Xiao Jingzhi and could only cover Xiao Jingzhi's departure from the inn.
Then he revealed to the accompanying Jin Yiwei Sheng Qian that Xiao Jingzhi might have suffered from cold, and then he invited a doctor to diagnose his pulse.
"Your Majesty, please call whenever you need help." After sending the doctor away, Mr. Sheng Qian came back and said to Xin Heng.
Xin Heng closed the door and said, "Thank you, Mr. Sheng Qian. I'm just afraid of delaying tomorrow's trip."
Mr. Sheng Qian has always respected Xiao Jingzhi, "The schedule can be postponed, but the prince's health is the most important."
When he learned that he would follow Xiao Jingzhi to Nanwu Kingdom, he was also very happy.
I didn't think that I could take the opportunity to ask Xiao Jingzhi for advice, but simply thought that I would be happy to work with Xiao Jingzhi.
So when he learned that Xiao Jingzhi had suffered from cold, he was very anxious.
Xin Heng nodded and thanked, "Thank you, Mr. Sheng Qian, for your concern. I will take good care of the prince.",
Mr. Sheng Qian glanced at Xiao Jingzhi's room uneasily, "Then I'll go see if the prince's medicine is ready."
After sending President Sheng Qian away, Xin Heng breathed a sigh of relief.
I just hope that the prince can get to the capital smoothly, and I also hope that nothing happens to Miss Shen.
Late at night, it began to rain for the first time since autumn, making people feel a little bit chilly.
Butler Wang came to the study and took a cloak for Prince Qi, "Your Majesty, it's raining, be careful of catching a cold."
Hearing Butler Wang say this, I really felt a bit chilly.
"How did you go with your work?" King Qi leaned under the oil lamp, eyes half-squinted, and read the book in his hand.
The reason why he stayed up so late was because he was waiting for news from Butler Wang.
Butler Wang pursed his lips first, with some hesitation on his face.
King Qi and Butler Wang have worked together for many years, and King Qi is naturally very aware of Butler Wang's little moves and actions.
"Did things go wrong?" So he opened his mouth and asked Butler Wang.
If the matter is settled, Butler Wang will not stop talking.
Steward Wang bent down and nodded, and told Prince Qi frankly, "Back to the prince, things did go wrong, and there were some accidents."
King Qi paused, then turned to look at Butler Wang, "What happened?"
Steward Wang then told King Qi that everything was planned and that their people were ambushing Shen Yunshu on his way back to the general's mansion.
The original plan was about to succeed, but unexpectedly another group of people appeared at this time.
Their men got into a fight with another group of masked assassins, and Shen Yunshu was lost as well, without getting anything.
King Qi put the book in his hand on the table, pulled off his cloak, and asked solemnly, "Do you know the identities of those people?"
Steward Wang shook his head, "The other party is approaching fiercely, and his attacks are even more ruthless. It seems that he wants to take Miss Shen's life."
After hearing this, King Qi stood up and said, "Shen Yunshu is too young after all. Now that she has taken over Liu's business, so many people are watching her. She is not experienced in the world, so she will not be able to escape this disaster."
"But Your Majesty, I'm worried that if something happens to Miss Shen, there will be a strict investigation, for fear that it will be traced to us."
What's more, they have every motive to raise suspicion.
King Qi was not worried that they would be traced, "If Shen Yunshu died, wouldn't Che'er..."
What he was worried about was that no one could make Song Xiuche stand up again.
"Then what should we do now?" Butler Wang also lost his direction for a moment.
"Calm down first and don't be anxious. After all, whether Shen Yunshu is alive or dead is still unknown. Send someone to secretly find out the news."
King Qi has tried very hard to stay calm and rational.
As long as there is no news that Shen Yunshu is dead, there will definitely be a turning point.
The General's Mansion has also received news that Shen Yunshu has not returned to the home yet.
In the past, it was not that Shen Chenghai and Mrs. Liu didn't know that Shen Yunshu often came home late, but they always waited for news of Shen Yunshu's return to the General's Mansion before going to bed.
But tonight, until midnight, there was no news of Shen Yunshu returning to the General's Mansion.
Shen Chenghai felt a little uneasy in his heart. After appeasing Mrs. Liu, he was ready to ask Shen Yunjue about the situation.
Coincidentally, as soon as he walked out of the yard, he saw Shen Yunjue pacing at the door.
When he saw Shen Yunjue's face looking very ugly, he seemed to have noticed something.
"Did something happen to your sister?" He asked directly.
Shen Yunjue knew that sooner or later this matter would not be hidden, so he frankly told Shen Chenghai about the news about Shen Yunshu's disappearance.
"My child has sent someone to investigate. My sister's carriage was destroyed, and the coachman and accompanying guards were also dead."
Shen Chenghai was silent for a while, and then looked at Shen Yunjue, "Who did it?"
Shen Yunjue lowered his head, not daring to look into Shen Chenghai's eyes.
"Judging from the injuries on the body, the other party is a very well-trained killer, but there are no usable clues found in the killer's body."
In other words, the person behind it was determined to take Shen Yunshu's life.
Shen Chenghai's expression became increasingly ugly. He did not dare to imagine how helpless and scared Shen Yunshu must be when facing so many killers.
He pretended to be calm and asked: "So is there any news about Shu'er now?"
Seeing Shen Yunjue shake his head, his voice was weak and low as he said: "My sister is missing."
