Zhu Jian took a deep breath.

He didn't know that Yuan Zhi didn't leave home, and her popularity in the palace was so good that she could even get her hands on the prince's personal clothes!
If she has any bad intentions, what can't be done?
He ordered Liang Fang to personally lead people to search the palace from room to room, making sure to find Yuan Zhi!
After a few days, Yuan Zhi was not found, but something strange happened in the capital - something came out at night in the west city of the capital and hurt people. Its color was dark, and no trace of it could be found.The censors who patrolled the city and the military commanders tried their best to arrest him upon hearing the order.

This incident caused panic among the people in the capital, and even black eyes appeared in the palace.

Zhu Jianshen had no choice but to send Liu Qi, the young minister of Taichang Temple, to worship the City God, and declared: "Since the ninth day of the seventh lunar month, monsters have been out at night, scattering and biting people. The soldiers and people in the city are frightened and uneasy. This is because I believe it is due to my lack of virtue." However, God cannot be without responsibility for you, and God’s blood feeds the earth only for humans, and God is the only one who brings misfortunes and blessings to humans. Now when humans suffer disasters, I am wary and worried, but God alone is calm and unmoved in my heart? Is that so? Sending sacrifices to extend pious prayers, but the gods will greatly invigorate the spirit and kill this monster, so that the capital will be peaceful and there will be no more surprises.

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Shang Ren, took advantage of this matter to submit a memorial, and took advantage of the appearance of the underworld to propose some things to improve the bad governance. Zhu Jianshen reviewed them one by one and handed them over to the various departments of the department for implementation.

Zhu Jianshen didn't know who this black man was behind the scenes, but he had to do enough to save face, leaving people speechless.

Towards the end of the month, the dark incident intensified, and Zhu Jianshen even held a sacrificial ceremony in the palace to appease people's hearts.

That night, he was restless and restless, so he simply didn't sleep, and went directly to Qingning Palace to visit his son, Brother Cheng.

Brother Chan had already fallen asleep, Zhu Jianshen simply came to his room, opened the bed curtain, the quilt was slightly bulging - but it was stuffed with a pillow!
The blood all over Zhu Jianshen's body solidified instantly!
In the majestic imperial palace, in the Qingning Palace, the empress dowager's dormitory, which is heavily guarded, the crown prince actually disappeared!

He ordered people to blockade Qingning Palace and even the entire palace, and everyone was on alert to search.

Finally, strange lights were discovered in the uninhabited Anxi Palace, which had been sealed off for a year.

Zhu Jianshen went to Anxi Palace in person.

Standing in the yard, you can see the lights reflecting two figures, one large and one small, on the window.

The big one is gentle and graceful, while the small one is round and cute.

Zhu Jianshen clenched his fists tightly, and sneered in his heart: "Well, Yuanzhi, you can hide from the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth day, and finally you are willing to show up!"

He entered Anxi Palace alone.

In the unusually familiar living room, the mother was looking at the child softly while talking; the child was eating pastries, occasionally nodding or shaking his head.

Zhu Jianshen suppressed his anger and approached slowly.

When Yuan Zhi's eyes fell on him, his anger suddenly dissipated.

He smiled and said: "Yuan Zhi, it's good to be back." He stepped forward and gently touched Yuan Zhi's hair, and then pinched Brother Nai's little face.

Yuan Zhi didn't speak, just looked down at Brother Chan who was sitting aside with a smile.

"What are you two talking about?"

Before Yuan Zhi could speak, Brother Chan hurriedly said: "Mother said, I want to take Brother Chan away, but Brother Chan doesn't want to leave! Brother Chan wants daddy and grandmother!"

Zhu Jianshen turned his eyes to Yuan Zhi in shock.

Yuan Zhi just wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes gently, smiled and said lightly: "This little heartless little one refuses to leave with my mother after not seeing her for a year."

Zhu Jianshen suppressed his anger, and looked at Yuan Zhi coldly: "Who on earth has no conscience? Abandon the child and me, and disappear without a trace?"

Yuan Zhi looked at him with a smile: "Yes, who has no conscience?"

Zhu Jianshen hated to see Yuan Zhi behave like this. He tried to keep his voice calm: "Don't think so wildly. Just come back and we will live a good life in the future."

Yuan Zhi smiled faintly: "Okay."

The three of them were silent for a long time.

Brother Chan yawned.

Zhu Jianshen looked at the night outside, but still made up his mind: "I'll send brother Chan back to Qingning Palace, you wait for me here first."

Yuan Zhi's eyes were warm and she smiled lightly and said, "Okay."

He and Yuan Zhi have something to say, they may even quarrel, it is not suitable for Brother Chan to hear.

Zhu Jianshen personally sent Brother Chan to Qingning Palace and handed it over to Qin Ji, ordering him to take a good look at it. Qin Ji naturally accepted the order with trepidation.He really didn't expect that the crown prince would learn how to sneak out of Qingning Palace!

Zhu Jianshen hurried back to Anxi Palace.

Standing in the yard, the candlelight was still flickering, but the graceful figure reflected in the window had disappeared.

Zhu Jian went into the house to check, and Liang Fang, who was ordered by him to guard Yuan Zhi, had collapsed on the ground, unconscious.

He turned Anxi Palace upside down in disbelief!

He didn't believe it. Could she really disappear from the human world?He has sent heavy troops to guard this Anxi Palace, and not even a bird can fly through!

However, there was no trace of Yuan Zhi.

Zhu Jianshen suddenly remembered that in those most dangerous days, he had secretly told Yuan Zhi that the tunnel in Anxi Palace could lead to the safety of the palace.

He jerked open the door of the cabinet where the tunnel was located.

There is a dark hole in the closet, and there are women's clothes and shoes placed in the hole, which are exactly the style Yuan Zhi was wearing just now.

Zhu Jianshen sneered: "You fool, the entrance to the cave is also in the palace, do you think you can escape?"

When Zhu Jianshen came to the Chongzhi Hall outside the city wall on the west side of the imperial palace, he saw Yuan Zhi standing by the water in a daze and looking around.

With his heart in his throat, he shouted, "Yuan Zhi, come back!"

Yuan Zhi turned her head reluctantly, as if hesitating.

In the woods on the opposite side of Taiye Pond, a flute sounded suddenly.Zhu Jianshen heard the tune, and felt a little familiar with it, and felt a burst of boldness and boldness in the rivers and lakes.

His heart twitched violently, and he kept shouting: "Yuan Zhi, come back! Come back!"

Yuan Zhi had already turned her head and jumped into the water.

Zhu Jianshen went crazy and wanted to jump into the water, but was stopped by the guards.

He struggled for a long time, only to see guards jumping into the water one by one, many heads and splashes appeared on the water surface, but none of them belonged to Yuan Zhi.

He knew how good Yuan Zhi's water skills were. Back then, he dragged a person whom he wanted to die to escape from the killer in Yangzhou's icy lake. Now, how could she not escape?
Zhu Jianshen complained in a low voice against the water: "What did I do wrong? Can you explain clearly?!"

The weather was getting colder, and the Jinyiwei who went into the water came back to report one by one. They did not find any women, but they found that there was a big hole in the iron fence between Taiye Pond and the water of the moat that a person could get through.

Zhu Jian is as deep as falling into an ice cave—entering the moat means that he has left the Forbidden City, and Yuan Zhi has already left!

He regretted that he should not have sent the child away first, but should have had a good talk with Yuan Zhi first.

Back then she was willing to stay, but now she left resolutely without giving herself a chance to stay.
