prince attendant

Chapter 54

The sky has gradually brightened up, and the moonlight is hidden under the clouds, and gradually disappears towards the west.

There is a frivolous cold air between the sky and the earth, and everything is very quiet. In the courtyard of the Zhaixing Building, taking advantage of the faint skylight, you can see the mess everywhere, and the cups and cups are making trouble everywhere. Most of the people have already finished walking, and there are servants cleaning among them, but their steps are slow, for fear of disturbing the nobles who are still here.

That is a nobleman who is not in a very good mood. Through the partition, he can only see a mass of vermilion.

Xie Jin stretched out his hand to get the tea. He didn't know how many times he had warmed the tea stove, and also changed several waves of charcoal fire. It was covered with light frost air, and his tentacles were very cold. , sighed

"Your Highness, how long do we have to wait? Why don't you go back to the palace first, and when Ruyu comes back, I'll send you back to the palace."

However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was dressed in red, turned a deaf ear, only closed his eyes, and said lightly

"Within an hour, if you can't come back again, I don't want him anymore, so why bother you to waste more manpower."

Xie Jin sighed silently, rubbed the acupoints, and had no choice but to sit with her, waiting for the person who missed the appointment.

She also wondered what kind of magical power this little attendant had, and what kind of carelessness caused His Highness to be so caring, so that he completely forgot the agreement with His Highness the Crown Prince.

When the two present were meditating on the lyrics, the door of the courtyard here was opened with a bang, and a gust of wind was blown, the dead branches shook slightly, and the footsteps of the visitors were hurried and flustered, with anxious voices.

His Royal Highness opened his eyes and looked at the person who came, but it was not Mu Qing.

It was a member of Xie's family. Xie Jin had quietly asked the servants who served him to go back to the mansion, and picked out a few people to go out to find Mu Qing. This was one of them.

The visitor rushed directly into the yard, looked at the two of them, knelt on the ground, and said out of breath

"Little one, I have met His Highness, Your Highness is blessed and safe, please be safe, young master."

Xie Jin glanced at the undisturbed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and sighed

"Don't say hello, where's the person?"

"Man, yes, man!"

The boy raised his head to look at them, then lowered his head again and said

"Your Highness, Master, something has happened! Master, the child you want the younger ones to find—his sister is lost!!"

Xie Jin sat up straight, frowned and said

"What did you say? Tell the matter carefully."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't say anything, but his sleepy eyes had already opened.

The young servant raised his head and glanced at the two masters, then immediately told the matter of asking for the Tao, and said that the father and son had been searching all night, but they still couldn't find it. In all likelihood, maybe the little girl was Was kidnapped.

Xie Jin turned to look at His Highness the Crown Prince. After hearing the whole story, His Highness just said

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, do you also do such abducting and trafficking of people?"

If this is the case, this young man can’t answer. Chengyang is certainly the capital of a country, but such a personnel transaction is a profitable industry. Even if the law prohibits it, there will always be such transactions, not to mention the small Servants, servant girls and the like are also bought from the dark market, so it is not unusual.

Therefore, it is really unreasonable for the prince to say such words.

But before he could speak, Ji Yi had already stood up and said

"Go find someone."

After he finished speaking, he walked outside, and a gust of cold wind blew by, causing the dead leaves to move slightly.

Xie Jin also stood up, looked at the back of His Royal Highness, and said to the boy

"Let's go back."

The boy was still a little confused and asked

"Where are you going back?"

Xie Jin glanced at him and said

"Of course I'm going back to the mansion, where else should I go?"

The boy didn't understand

"Didn't His Royal Highness ask to find someone, young master, why did we go back to the mansion?"

"stupid."

Xie Jin tapped his forehead and said

"Of course I go back to the mansion to look for my father, and send someone out to look for it. With one or two of us, how can we look for it?"

"oh oh."

The boy reacted immediately, and quickly followed him out of the yard.

However, one night has passed, how can it be said that if you find it, you can find it.

The hidden guard sent by Ji Yi was easily located by Mu Qing, but there was no trace of the little girl in red. In all likelihood, she must have gone to the dark market.

Because someone saw people inside carrying their children into it. The dark market is in the north of Chengyang, near the outskirts of the city, next to the famous place of fireworks, Chaomu Lane. The dark market is a place that goes out at night. All the profitable industries are gathered together, and its prosperity surpasses that of any place in Chengyang. Everyone in Chengyang knows it, but no one dares to provoke it, because from the day it appeared, the dark market has been a three-way street. no matter where.

Among them, the most famous one is gambling and trading. Everything in the world can be gambled, and everything in the world can be traded. This is the most widely circulated saying in the dark market.

If Muqing's little sister was really brought here, it's not impossible, but on New Year's Eve, there are so many children wearing red clothes, who knows which one it is.

When Ji Yi took people to find Mu Qing, Mu Qing was sitting on the steps of a deserted courtyard near the dark market, facing the wind, the cold wind was blowing, Mu Qing embraced her knees, He stared blankly at the ground, his clothes were covered with frost and dust, and his hair was already very messy, fluttering in the air with the wind.

Ji Yi walked up to him, but he was startled, and immediately shouted

"Father, you—!"

However, when she looked up, it was His Highness the Crown Prince, so she choked on the rest of the words, Mu Qing looked at His Highness the Crown Prince with red eyes, and looked at each other. After a long time, she shouted in a hoarse voice

"Your Highness—"

Ji Yi looked down at him, his exposed fingers were already red from the cold, so he frowned and said

"What are you doing sitting here?"

"..."

Mu Qing hesitated for a while, then whispered

"I'll wait for Dad. Dad went to the dark market to find a little girl, and told me to sit here and wait."

Ji Yi sighed

"Then you just sit here and wait for the wind to blow?"

Mu Qing sniffled, and tears gathered in his eyes again, but he asked him to hold back, sobbing and said

"If I'm not here, what will Dad do if he can't find me when he comes out?"

say again

"Your Highness, my little sister is nowhere to be found... I lost her, if I hadn't been playful, if I hadn't asked my mother to tell my little sister to come to Chengyang..."

He lowered his head, and his nails sank deeply into the palm of his hand. Mu Qing thought about it all night, but couldn't figure out why she couldn't look around at that time. If he had looked more, the little sister wouldn't be by his side Was carried away.
