Song Jinyue didn't know when she fell asleep, nor did she know what time it was.

She leaned against the wooden door and fell asleep like that.

When she woke up, she was a little thirsty. When she came to Zhao Mansion today, she only had a little breakfast, and now she is very hungry.

No one from the Zhao family came to see her.

She didn't know whether the Zhao family wanted to see her, or just starve her to death here?

But then I thought about Mr. Zhao's affection for Mudan.

Thinking about it, I was afraid that she would ask about Peony's whereabouts from her mouth.

She didn't know what was going on outside, nor did she know that Qiu Yun and the others were still outside the greenhouse.

Outside the gate of the Zhao Mansion, the Xie family brought Zhang Manor's servants and guards to the door aggressively. The prince has gradually recovered in the past two days, and he will be able to return to the East Palace in a few days.

When Zhang Dingzhi learned that his cousin was missing in the Zhao Mansion, he couldn't take care of the prince for a while, so he went to the Zhao Mansion with his mother and others.

The riots in the Zhao Mansion have been properly controlled, and all the assassins from the enemy country have been strangled.

After this commotion, all the wives took their young ladies back home.

Zhang Dingzhi supported his mother on the couch to the stone street in front of the Zhao Mansion.

Mr. Zhao is interrogating the servants in the mansion in the front hall, Mrs. Zhao and her daughter are looking around the mansion.

Knowing that Mrs. Zhang came with the guards, seeing that the visitor was not friendly, Mrs. Zhao snorted, and then went out to meet Mrs. Zhang.

"Madam Zhang, I'm really, really sorry." Madam Zhao stepped forward to hold Madam Zhang's hand and began to cry.

Mrs. Zhang withdrew her hand from Mrs. Zhao, snorted coldly, looked at Mrs. Zhao and asked, "Mrs. Zhao, Yue'er was lost in your house, Zhao's mansion has to give me an explanation!"

Mrs. Zhao took out her handkerchief and pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes, "Mrs. Zhang, our Zhao family was the one who couldn't help the princess, but today, the manor caused such a disaster, who knows that the princess lost it in this panic."

"Mrs. Zhao, then you can send someone to search carefully in the mansion!"

"Just now I was leading people to look for the figure of the princess." Madam Zhao found an excuse.

Mrs. Xie sneered, and glanced at Mrs. Zhao, "So what? Still haven't found it?"

"Madam Zhang, let's go in and talk first."

There was a crowd of people watching the excitement around the gate, it was not easy for the Zhao family to send people to drive them away.

Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to talk to Mrs. Zhang.

Xie also knew that Yue'er was lost in the Zhao Mansion, so the Zhao Mansion was the only place to search.

The guards of the Zhang Mansion followed their mistress into the Zhao Mansion.

Today, Mrs. Xie brought most of the guards from the Zhang Mansion. The mother-in-law still kept the news of Yue'er's disappearance.

So today, Mrs. Xie is thinking that if she can't find someone, she won't leave the Zhao residence.

Mrs. Zhao ushered Mrs. Zhang into the front hall, Mr. Zhao was a little displeased when he saw Mrs. Zhang coming with a group of guards.

Master Zhao greeted Mrs. Zhang, and then retreated from the front hall. Mrs. Zhang was greeted by his wife.

Master Zhao did not stay in the mansion, but went to Dali Temple with the corpse of the enemy assassin.

After being settled properly, Mr. Zhao went into the palace again to report to the emperor what happened in the mansion today.

In the front hall of the Zhao residence, Mrs. Zhang looked at Mrs. Zhao with a straight face, "Mrs. Zhao, I will give you an hour. If the Zhao residence does not give an explanation, then I will order the guards to turn the Zhao residence upside down!"

Xie Shi exuded strong anger all over his body.

Mrs. Zhao discussed with Mrs. Xie with a lost smile: "Mrs. Zhang, this, this is not right."

Without an imperial decree, how can there be any reason for other guards to search?

If the Xie family is really like this, someone in the court will impeach the Zhang family.

"Mrs. Zhao, I have already said the ugly words before. You go and tell the servants in the mansion to look for them. If you can't find any results, don't blame me for being rude! My Zhang family will never tolerate my niece being unclear. The Zhao family is missing!"

Xie gave an ultimatum.

Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to go out and arrange for someone to look for her.

Only then did Mrs. Xie order someone to call the maidservant who accompanied her niece to the Zhao residence for a banquet today.

Only Qiu Yun came alone, and Sanming and Jiaoming stayed in the courtyard of the flower house.

"Ma'am." Qiu Yun was brought to the front hall by the servants of the Zhao family. When she saw Mrs. Xie coming, she stepped in quickly. When she reached the hall, she knelt down on the ground and choked up, "Madam, help me." My lady."

Xie frowned, sighed, and then asked: "Qiu Yun, you must not omit everything that happened when you accompanied Yue'er to the Zhao Mansion today."

Only then did Qiu Yun report to Mrs. Xie all the things that happened in the Zhao Mansion today in detail.

Standing behind her mother, Zhang Dingzhi couldn't sit still. She listened carefully to what Qiu Yun said about what happened today.

Only then did I learn that my cousin disappeared after entering the conservatory of the Zhao Mansion.

As for whether he disappeared while following a group of young ladies through the side door of the flower house, or disappeared inside the flower house, no one knows.

An hour later, the Zhao family still did not say anything.

Mrs. Zhao said she was sick and refused to come out, so she only ordered Zhao Zhu to come out to deal with Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie became dissatisfied when she saw Mrs. Zhao sent her daughter away, and ignored Zhao Zhu.

Instead, he looked at the guards waiting outside, and said loudly: "Go, even if you search Zhao's mansion to the bottom, you must find Yue'er!"

"Madam Zhang, this is not right."

Seeing Mrs. Xie's order to go on, Zhao Zhu hurriedly stopped in the courtyard, stopped Zhang's guards in front of him, looked at Mrs. Xie, choked up and said, "Mrs. Zhang, you, you are deceiving people too much by doing this!"

After a while, Zhao Zhu could only hold back one sentence.

Zhang Mansion's guards are all from the army, and they have a solemn and murderous air all over their bodies.

It is false to say that I am not afraid.

But she trembled and still didn't back down half a step.

That's why my mother specially ordered her to deal with Mrs. Zhang.

If they really asked someone to search, they would inevitably find Song Jinyue's trace.

The mother originally wanted to move Song Jinyue from the greenhouse to another place, but who knew that Song Jinyue's maid was guarding the greenhouse. In order not to startle the snake, the mother had no choice but to stand still and wait for observation.

Mrs. Xie looked at her daughter and gave her a wink. Zhang Dingzhi understood, and hurriedly led the maid to go forward, dragging Zhao Zhu and her maid to wait aside.

"Madam Zhang!" Zhao Zhu shouted.

But Mrs. Xie walked straight out of the front hall of the Zhao Mansion with the guards, ignoring Zhao Zhu.

Mrs. Xie led people out of the front hall, and saw that Qin Sheng had not changed his court attire, was holding a scroll of bright yellow imperial edict in his hand, and came with guards behind him.

Seeing Mrs. Xie, Qin Sheng saluted, and then explained to Mrs. Xie: "Mrs. Zhang, the lower officials have requested an imperial edict to search Zhao's residence."

When Mrs. Zhao learned that Qin Sheng had brought the imperial decree, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and come out to receive the decree.

Qin Sheng ordered the guards to go everywhere, while he waited for a few guards to go to the greenhouse to check.

Mrs. Xie took her daughter to Zhao's conservatory together.

Mrs. Zhao wanted to stop her, but she was afraid of arousing suspicion from everyone, so she had to follow her, so she could play it by ear.

Before coming, Mrs. Zhao had ordered someone to deliver a letter to her master.

The door of the greenhouse was pushed open, and Qin Sheng walked in with the guards.

Mrs. Zhao urged from the side: "Master Qin, these flowers are extremely precious, please tell them not to damage these precious flowers."

Before Qin Sheng could say anything, Mrs. Xie sneered, looked at Mrs. Zhao, and reprimanded, "What? In Mrs. Zhao's eyes, a majestic princess is not as good as these flowers in your house?"

Mrs. Zhao was embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Mrs. Zhang misunderstood me."

Xie Shi didn't pay any attention to her meaning, and looked carefully in the room, trying to find a trace of Yue'er.

Seeing that Mrs. Xie opened his mouth, Qin Sheng didn't say anything more. The flower pots in the house were not unusual, so he crossed the screen and walked inside to check.

Seeing that there are desks and bookshelves in the flower room, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Zhu and asked, "What kind of books does Second Miss Zhao like to read?"

However, Zhao Zhu was a little confused by Qin Sheng's question. He didn't know why Lord Qin asked her like that.

He hurriedly said: "On weekdays, I mostly read some Zen books on female precepts in the Book of Songs."
