Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 258 Missing

Xiao Jingyi had been gone for more than half a month.

At first, a letter came back. Although it was only a few short words, it at least let Yun Fuling know that he was safe.

But recently, no letters have been sent back.

At first, Yun Fuling thought that he was delayed by something or it was temporarily inconvenient for him to deliver the message.

But as the days passed, there was no news from Xiao Jingyi, and Yun Fuling couldn't help but become anxious and angry.

She had a bad feeling in her heart.

Could something have happened to Xiao Jingyi in Jiangnan?

Yun Fuling felt a little uneasy, but she didn't expect her guess to come true.

On this day, Eunuch Gao's godson, Eunuch Gao, suddenly came to Prince Yi's Mansion.

Eunuch Gao was originally a beggar outside the palace, with no name or surname. Later, he entered the palace and became a eunuch. He won the favor of Gao Youfu, who adopted him as his godson.

He took Gao Youfu's surname Gao and was respectfully called Eunuch Gao.

This boy is smart and thoughtful. Although he is not as experienced as Eunuch Gao, he is considered to be quite favored by the emperor among all the people serving in the emperor's presence.

Although he could not match the weight and face of Eunuch Gao's appearance whenever he went out of the palace to convey an imperial edict, it could still show that the edict was extraordinary.

When Eunuch Gao saw Yun Fuling, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Princess Yi."

You always have to give some respect to people who serve in front of the emperor.

Yun Fuling hurriedly called out, "What brings you here, Eunuch Gao?"

Eunuch Gao flicked the whisk in his hand and said, "Propagate His Majesty's order. Princess Xuanyi is here to see the emperor!"

When Yun Fuling heard this, the first thought that came to her mind was Xiao Jingyi.

Jing** summoned her to an audience. Could it be that there is news about Xiao Jingyi?

No matter what, you’ll know when you meet Jing**.

Yun Fuling did not delay and immediately followed Eunuch Xiao Gao into the palace.

After entering the palace, Eunuch Gao first led her to wait in the side hall of the Zichen Palace.

After waiting for a while, Eunuch Gao came over.

"Princess Yi, His Majesty invites you."

Yun Fuling looked at Eunuch Gao and saw that he looked solemn. She couldn't help but ask, "Eunuch Gao, do you know why His Majesty summoned me here?"

Eunuch Gao did not answer, but instead pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile.

"The princess will know after she meets His Majesty."

Seeing this, Yun Fuling didn't ask any more questions.

But my heart sank.

The bad feeling became stronger and stronger.

After entering the Purple Palace, Yun Fuling knelt down and kowtowed: "The daughter-in-law pays respect to the emperor, father!"

"Get up." Jing** said in a deep voice.

Yun Fuling inexplicably heard a hint of vicissitudes and anxiety in the voice.

"Thank you, Father."

Yun Fuling stood up and glanced at Jing** cautiously.

But his face seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and he looked like he had suffered a huge blow.

The hall was filled with silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Jing ** was silent for a moment, then he said: "I summoned you here today because I just received news from Jiangnan."

Yun Fuling's heart skipped a beat when she heard that.

She secretly thought that her guess was right, and Jing **'s announcement that she was going to meet him was indeed related to Xiao Jingyi.

But from Jing**'s tone, it doesn't seem like good news.

Yun Fuling felt uneasy for a moment, and before she could think about it any more, Jing**'s next words reached her ears.

"The news that came back said that Prince Yi is missing, and with him is Shadow Blade Division Commander Zuo Yan."

Yun Fuling felt as if someone had hit her heart hard with a sledgehammer.

She suspected that she was hallucinating.

"Father, what did you say?"

Jing** felt a little bit reluctant when he saw Yun Fuling’s eyes wide open with a look of disbelief.

He really didn't hope that this was fake news.

He regretted even more that he had asked Xiao Jingyi to go to Jiangnan to investigate the golden cream.

But now that something has happened, escape is the most useless and cowardly thing to do.

The right way is to find a solution.

Jing** turned his face away and paused for a long time before he spoke again with difficulty: "The Shadow Blade Division sent a secret letter back to the capital, saying that Prince Yi and Zuo Yan are missing and have not been found yet."

Yun Fuling then realized that she was not hallucinating and Xiao Jingyi was really missing.

She turned and walked out of the hall.

Jing ** was shocked when he saw this and hurriedly said, "Stop her quickly!"

Gao Youfu was quick-witted and quickly ran to stop the man.

Jing**: "What do you want to do?"

"I want to go to Jiangnan to find him!" Yun Fuling turned to look at Jing ** and suddenly knelt down, "Father, please allow your daughter-in-law to go to Jiangnan to find him!"

Yun Fuling was extremely upset and was really worried about Xiao Jingyi's condition.

Although he had a drop of space spirit water on him and his life should be safe, Yun Fuling was still worried until she saw with her own eyes that Xiao Jingyi was safe and sound.

Jing** sighed, "You are really too impatient, kid."

But this also shows that she loves Xiao Jingyi sincerely and is willing to put herself in danger for him.

Xiao Jingyi's princess is really good!

Jing ** secretly admired Yun Fuling in his heart, and said again: "I summoned you here today to discuss this matter."

"The situation in Jiangnan is unclear, and it also involves the Golden Cream case. We need to be extremely cautious!"

"I have thought about it, but I can't think of a better person to investigate this matter."

"Yier has always been smart and clever. If his disappearance was just his plan, I am worried that it would disrupt his plan if I rashly send someone else to take over."

"If he is in danger, if there is any unusual movement in the court, it will only harm his situation instead of helping it."

Jing** paused for a moment before continuing:

"Yier once told me that although you are a woman, you are not an ordinary girl in the boudoir and you can handle great tasks."

"You are Yi'er's bedmate, and you are in tune with him. I think you can see the subtle details that others can't notice."

"Besides, you know all about the golden paste case."

"I originally wanted to ask you if you are willing to go to Jiangnan, but now it seems that there is no need to ask this question anymore!"

Yun Fuling lowered her eyes and said, "Don't worry, father. When I go to Jiangnan, I will definitely find the whereabouts of the prince and help him investigate the case of the golden cream and bring the person behind it to justice!"

Jing ** looked deeply at Yun Fuling, "Yier is a prince, and he has the power to dispatch local troops, but he is now missing. This shows that the case of the golden cream is more complicated than we thought. Aren't you afraid as a girl?"

Yun Fuling said loudly: "Don't be afraid!"

Jing** clapped his hands and smiled: "Well, you are worthy of being my royal daughter-in-law!"

He nodded to Gao Youfu.

After a while, Gao Youfu brought a tray.

There are two tokens on the tray.

The token was completely black, as if made of black iron, with the words "Shadow Blade Division" engraved on it.

The other token was bright yellow, looked like it was made of gold, and was engraved with a pattern of a nine-clawed dragon.

Jing** said: "You will definitely face many dangers when you go to Jiangnan. I give you these two tokens for your protection."
