HCB Chapter 300 Missing
Chapter 300 Missing
The maid standing at the edge originally wanted to tell the truth that the princess should be in the room, but she swallowed the words back.
Because at this moment she also discovered that there was no one else in this small room except Prince Yu with an angry face.
Fear instantly surged into the maid's heart. Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground with a plop, her body shaking continuously.
She stammered, "I...I don't know. I was waiting outside the courtyard last night and didn't see the princess come out of the room."
In fact, although Xuan Yemin is not very smart, he is definitely not stupid.
Especially now, he still felt a dull pain in the back of his head. After a little thought, he realized that someone must have knocked him unconscious last night and even kidnapped He Yuehuan.
Thinking of this, his face became even gloomier, anger flashed in his eyes, and he swore with gritted teeth that he would find the guy who dared to offend him and make him pay a heavy price!
Suddenly, he remembered something extremely important.
So he jumped up from the bed in a panic and shouted at the top of his voice: "Quick! Go to the woodshed and check if the concubine is still there?"
When the maid heard the order, she did not dare to be negligent at all, and responded quickly and ran out of the room in a hurry, as if she had been pardoned.
However, when she rushed to the woodshed anxiously and breathlessly, she found that it was empty. How could she find any trace of the king's concubine?
The maid couldn't help but feel terrified. If the prince knew that the princess and the concubine were both missing, she would be afraid that her life would be in danger!
Finally, after a fierce ideological struggle, she gritted her teeth and went to find the housekeeper for help, trembling all over.
You must know that the butler in the prince's palace is not an ordinary person. He is the prince's confidant who came from the imperial capital with him.
Although the servants in the mansion were also afraid of the housekeeper, it was obviously more terrifying to face the prince directly.
After all, if you anger the prince, you will die!
After hearing what the maid said, the butler Wang Fu's heart sank suddenly.
After a long silence, he slowly said, "Okay, I already know about this matter, and I will report the situation to the prince."
Hearing this, the maid burst into tears of joy, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times.
After all, with Butler Wang reporting on her behalf, she didn't need to face the prince directly.
Although Wang Fu usually likes to take advantage of women, especially the women in the mansion.
But he was in the prince's palace, and the people in the palace were all the prince's people, so Wang Fu never dared to be too presumptuous.
At most, you would just touch someone's hand when they are not paying attention.
But now that the knife was at his neck, he no longer had the energy to wait and just waved his hand, asking the maid to leave.
After a while, Wang Fu finally mustered up the courage to go to a remote courtyard in the palace.
"My Lord, the concubine is missing too."
Wang Fu clearly felt a murderous aura as soon as he said this, which frightened him.
As the saying goes, “When it rains, it pours.” Just after Wang Fu reported the news to Xuan Yemin, the guards in the mansion brought even worse news - the He family and the Wang family were attacked by bandits, and no one in the entire mansion survived!
Here, He Yuehuan and Wang Qi just disappeared.
On the same night, their entire family was murdered. It would be hard for anyone to believe that such a coincidence was not intentional.
Xuan Yemin naturally also noticed the strangeness in it.
Originally, as long as he could firmly control the life and death of He Yuehuan and Wang Qi, and then with the help of Shen Yi, the Yongguan Army would surely become the strongest backing for him to ascend to the throne!
It was for this reason that he did not execute He Yuehuan and Wang Qi immediately last night.
However, at this moment, the He family and the Wang family had disappeared without a trace.
Although Xuan Yemin didn't think they could escape very far, he was afraid it was too late to catch up with them now.
How hateful! He should have been alert when those shops in the imperial capital were banned for no reason.
I think that Xuan Yelan must have known about his plan long ago, and he must have carefully planned it last night, instructing the people from the He and Wang families to evacuate quietly.
At this time, Xuan Yemin was still feeling lucky that the Shen family was still there.
At the same time, he also had some questions in his mind as to why the Shen family had not made any moves so far.
Could it be that Xuan Yelan has not yet realized the relationship between him and Shen Yi?
Thinking of this, Xuan Yemin couldn't help but frown, speculating secretly in his heart.
While rubbing his aching neck, he kicked Wang Fu beside him in anger and shouted viciously: "Go! Call Shen Yi to me immediately!"
Upon seeing this, Wang Fu was so frightened that his face turned pale. He knelt hurriedly and kowtowed repeatedly, agreeing, "Yes, yes, I'll go right away." After saying that, he stood up and was about to turn around and leave.
But at this moment, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by a servant running into the room in a panic, reporting.
"Not good! Prince, I just got the news that the Shen Mansion... has been deserted for a long time!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yemin became furious and furious.
His eyes were wide open, his face full of anger, as if he was about to spit fire. In his rage, he raised his foot and kicked Wang Fu again. Poor Wang Fu couldn't dodge in time and was kicked hard, falling to the ground on the spot.
But Xuan Yemin did not give up and continued to beat and kick him until Wang Fu cried out for mercy.
If Mangshan had not arrived at the scene by chance and tried to stop it, Wang Fu's other leg would probably have been injured and he would have ended up with both legs disabled.
Mangshan glanced at Xuan Yemin with a slightly disdainful look, and very rarely spoke to persuade him: "At present, he has not yet obtained solid evidence, why are you so panicked?"
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, instantly calming the originally anxious Xuan Yemin down.
He let out a long breath, clenched his teeth, and said viciously: "We must not let anyone find that place!"
Upon seeing this, Mangshan nodded slightly to show that he understood.
After a brief pause, he continued, "In my opinion, you'd better send some people to investigate the city carefully. Maybe Xuan Yelan's people have already sneaked in."
However, Xuan Yemin scoffed at this and responded with a sneer: "Do I really need you to teach me how to act?"
In the final analysis, no matter whether Xuan Yemin can achieve his goal in the end, Mangshan will definitely get what he wants.
He has already reminded Xuan Yemin of what he should have reminded him of. As for whether Xuan Yemin is willing to listen, it all depends on his personal decision.
