Not long after, Prince Ye, who was far away in Zhuangzi, Taohua County, received a secret letter from his royal brother. He slowly opened the note and saw the words "The Queen Mother disappeared on the way to the Taoist temple" written on it.
His heart suddenly tightened and his face darkened.
Seeing that the prince looked unhappy, Yue Ren, who was standing beside him, asked, "Prince, has something happened?"
Prince Ye said in a deep voice: "The Queen Mother disappeared on the way to the Taoist temple."
Without saying anything more, he immediately stood up and ordered the guards Anhuo and Yueren: "Notify all my subordinates to mobilize all their forces to search for the Queen Mother. Remember, this matter must not be made public."
Dark Fire and Moon Blade looked solemn and clasped their fists in acceptance, saying, "Yes, Your Highness. I will do my utmost to complete the mission."
So, the two of them acted quickly, organizing all the available manpower in an orderly manner, including those secret guards who usually hid in the dark, and combined with the powerful force of the "dark web", like a huge dragnet, starting from the capital, gradually spreading to the counties and states near the Taoist temple, and launched a comprehensive carpet search.
These people shuttled through the streets and alleys, mountains and wilderness like ghosts, not missing any possible clues.
The two men each led a team and personally led their men to search day and night. Regardless of fatigue and hardship, they only wanted to find the Queen Mother as soon as possible.
But after a day and a night, they only found a little clue, that is, someone had pawned the Empress Dowager's jewelry in the pawnshop.
This is undoubtedly the only ray of hope for them. They hold on to this only clue and continue to investigate further.
When Anhuo brought the man in front of King Ye, King Ye, who was usually quite kind to others, was now as cold as if he was wrapped in layers of frost, as if he could freeze the air around him.
An Huo reported respectfully: "Your Highness, the man in this car took the Queen Mother and Aunt Qin Xin a while ago, and he has already explained.
He took the man to a sparsely populated, secluded place not far from Taohua County, and robbed the Empress Dowager and Aunt of all their money and jewelry. It took my subordinates a lot of effort to find this man based on the records in the pawnshop.
King Ye looked at the person kneeling in front of him with cold eyes. He asked word by word: "What unforgivable thing have you done?"
The big man was so frightened that his soul seemed to be leaving his body. He never imagined that the target of his sudden robbery would be the extremely noble empress dowager.
His eyes were full of fear, and he explained hurriedly and tremblingly in a panic: "I...I really confessed everything. I was just bewildered for a moment. I only robbed the silver and then drove the people off the carriage. As for the rest, I really didn't do anything. Your Highness, you have to understand!"
King Ye waved his hand expressionlessly and said coldly: "Take him away and continue to torture him until he tells all the details and the truth."
The guards outside the door heard the sound and immediately came over and dragged the big man away like a dead dog.
The driver was struck by lightning when he heard this, and cried out in begging: "Your Highness, I have confessed everything I know, please spare my life." But his voice gradually faded away.
Anhuo looked at King Ye and asked: "Your Highness, what should we do next?"
King Ye said: "Send more people to continue searching secretly along the main roads and small roads leading from the capital to the Taoist temple."
Anhuo clasped his fists and replied: "Yes."
Three days passed since An Huo was busy, but there was no further news about the Queen Mother.
Su Yu on the other side also felt very strange. The master clearly said that he would come the next day, but he had not shown up for several days. Did something suddenly happen in the escort agency?
So Anhuo and his subordinates had just searched near Taohua Alley when they happened to meet Su Yu who was about to go out to look for him.
Su Yu greeted him with surprise: "Master, you are finally here. I wanted to go to the escort agency to see you. I haven't seen you for a few days. I was worried that something happened to you!"
Hearing these words, Anhuo felt both warm and nervous. This disciple was really good, but his identity was almost exposed.
The guards behind Anhuo happened to be some who did not know Su Yu. They looked at each other, "Master? This young man calls Commander Anhuo Master?"
Anhuo replied: "I have been busy with some things recently and have no time to come over. I have neglected my martial arts studies in recent days."
Su Yu answered honestly: "There has never been a single day of rest."
Anhuo nodded, he was very pleased, he said: "Yes, Master has something else to do, I have to leave first", and then he left with his men.
Su Yu looked at his departing back curiously. His master seemed a little mysterious.
Anhuo and his subordinates searched all the way from day to night, but there was still no news of the empress dowager. It seemed that such an old lady had never appeared anywhere. Anhuo didn't know how to go back and face his own prince.
As soon as Anhuo entered the study, Prince Ye asked anxiously: "Is there any news about our mother?"
Anhuo whispered, not daring to look up, and said: "No."
King Ye asked Yue Ren who came in later, "How about you? Is there any news?"
There was guilt on Yue Ren's handsome face, but he could only lower his head and say honestly: "It's all because of my uselessness that I failed to find the Queen Mother."
Prince Ye grew increasingly anxious upon hearing this. There was no new information coming from the dark web. Where had his mother gone? Was she in any danger?
He looked at the moonlight coming in from the window and was silent for a long time. At this moment, he only hoped that his mother would be safe and sound. It was all his fault. If it weren't for him, his mother would not have left the palace secretly because of anger. Thinking of this, his expression became more lonely.
Anhuo saw that the prince was getting more and more depressed and lonely. He carefully asked another irrelevant question: "Prince, should I continue to go to Young Master Su's place?"
King Ye said: "You go ahead. After you finish teaching martial arts every day, come back and continue to look for the Queen Mother."
Anhuo responded respectfully: "Yes."
Anhuo added: "Mr. Su has memorized all the two books that the prince gave him last time. I even checked them specially and found no mistakes. A few days ago, he asked me to bring him a few more books."
King Ye went straight to the bookshelf and took out five annotated books.
An Huo took it respectfully and retreated. He thought he would take it with him when he went to the Su Mansion tomorrow morning. He didn't know what surprise he would encounter tomorrow! ! !
