Xue Jiaojiao stayed in the Temple of the City God for a while, and confirmed that it was not the so-called Lord of the City God who made trouble.

It's just that the common people seemed to believe these rumors, and one or two ran over.

Xue Jiaojiao really didn't understand, instead of enshrining the good Xuanwu on top, she came to enshrine a non-existent City God.

But for these common people, it is actually two gods fighting, no matter what the result is, they are the ones who suffer.

Xue Jiaojiao left the Town God's Temple, returned to the palace, and told them what she had discovered.

Zhou Dongtan said: "We have heard this rumor before, and even sent someone to quell it, but it didn't help."

Xie Congnan expressed his understanding that there is no way to stop rumors.

"So how did City God offend?" Xue Jiaojiao asked.

This will never be groundless, so many people believe that there must be some reason.

Zhou Dongtan's face froze, and he said helplessly: "Actually, it's not a big deal. The emperor reduced the royal family's offerings to the City God in order to save money. The Emperor built the Town God Temple for auspiciousness. Such big consequences."

Some members of the royal family also donate some offerings to the Temple of the City God every year. This year, Qi Xuan happened to plan to save money, and this incident happened unexpectedly.

After many children disappeared, the rumors were spread one after another, all the faults were laid on Qi Xuan's head.

Qi Xuan himself was so angry that he jumped, but he couldn't say anything.

None of them thought that it was such a simple reason, and it made people laugh when they said it.

"It's too fake." Xie Congnan clicked his tongue, "Some people believe this, it's true."

"There is no clue again." Xu Youzhi held his forehead, feeling a little distressed.

This time, Yunmengze and Fenglingdu really took over a mess.

If you think so in your heart, they won't say it with your mouth.

"I asked those little beggars to watch from nearby homes with four or five-year-old children, and if any children disappeared, they would tell me right away," Xue Jiaojiao added.

Xie Congnan hummed, "It's a way, but that's not enough. We have to find out the murderer, otherwise we'll be too passive."

Everyone understands that this is very passive, but is there any way to find people out?
Shan Ying was sleeping on the couch, Mimi sat up and rubbed her eyes.

"How many children are missing?" Shan Ying asked.

She only knew a lot, but she didn't count them carefully.

"39."

Shan Ying straightened her waist and frowned. There are 39 children, and this number does not seem to be anything special.

Others have thought of this too.

For those sinister spells, the numbers are generally more representative.

"Maybe the quantity is not enough." Qu Qingci rubbed his chin, "Could it be that we need 49?"

"Where does that put so many children?"

Thirty-nine four- and five-year-old children, this is not a small number, where can they hide?

Or, are these children still in the imperial city?

Too many questions are waiting for them, and everyone is having a headache.

If you put a monster in front of them, no matter how powerful it is, you just have to fight to the death, but if it consumes such heart and brain power, it will be really difficult for them.

"Otherwise, let's use stupid methods to squat at those people's houses first, or send people to protect them, so that the murderer can't attack?" Xie Congnan asked tentatively.

If this is the case, it will require more manpower, but it seems that there is no good way now.

So some were sent out to find the hiding places of more than 30 children, and some were guarded in the imperial city.

Xue Jiaojiao stayed in the imperial city, and Shan Ying also stayed here.

With Shan Ying around, it's not a big problem to ask for manpower from Qi Xuan.

Xue Jiaojiao and Shan Ying went out together and bought all the beggars in the imperial city, trying not to cause panic among the people.

Including the people sent by Qi Xuan, it's almost the same.

Xie Connan and Xu Youzhi went to find the whereabouts of the 39 children, and asked them to search through all the secret passage houses inside and outside the imperial city.

Xue Jiaojiao returned to the palace, Shan Ying was so tired that she collapsed on the bed, she went to get some food.

On the way back, I caught a glimpse of a boy in a fancy dress, about ten years old, with a sickly pale complexion.

Xue Jiaojiao looked at his attire and the things he was wearing, and guessed that it should be Prince Qi Yunyu.

Qi Yunyu covered his lips and coughed lightly, looked up and saw Xue Jiaojiao.

Xue Jiaojiao was wearing Yunmengze's disciple costume, and Qi Yunyu walked over.

"Xianchang."

"His Royal Highness."

Qi Yunyu looked up at her, "My imperial sister, has there been any news recently?"

Xue Jiaojiao shook her head.

Qi Yunyu sighed softly, his brows furrowed.

"I hope the head of the fairy will take a lot of work on this matter. I am weak and can't be of much use. I have to let others worry about me."

When he found out that Qi Yunzhao was missing, Qi Yunyu was also very anxious.

After all, it was his sister, she was still so young, and there was no news for so many days, how could it make people not worry?
The two were talking, when Cao Yong ran over in a hurry, holding the hem of his clothes.

"Oh, Your Highness, why don't you bring a few maids and guards to serve you? If there is something wrong with this, how will our family live? Alas, you are here."

Cao Yong's fat face was flushed, and he gasped in front of Qi Yunyu.

"I just came out to get some air." Qi Yunyu looked at him helplessly.

Not long after Cao Yong arrived, a group of palace people surrounded Wen Yunsu.

Seeing that Qi Yunyu was safe and sound, Wen Yunsu's heart fell to the ground.

"You scared the queen mother to death." Wen Yunsu hugged Qi Yunyu in her arms, feeling scared for a while.

The outside world was turbulent these past few days, Wen Yunsu watched Qi Yunyu closely, seeing that Qi Yunyu was not in the palace today, she was almost frightened out of her wits.

After Qi Yunyu finished speaking, Wen Yunsu saw Xue Jiaojiao who was standing aside without any sense of presence.

Wen Yunsu raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I made Xian Zhang laugh."

Xue Jiaojiao shook her head, "It's okay, if you care about it, it will cause chaos, I understand."

Wen Yunsu took Qi Yunyu's hand and said, "Okay, go back with your mother, you are not in good health and haven't recuperated yet."

Qi Yunyu had no choice but to leave with Wen Yunsu.

Xue Jiaojiao stared at the backs of the two of them, and Shan Ying suddenly appeared beside her.

"what happened?"

Xue Jiaojiao blinked and asked, "What's wrong with the Crown Prince?"

"Congenital deficiencies, born before full term, can only be hanged with medicine, there is no cure."

Speaking of Qi Yunyu, Shan Ying also felt pitiful, he was clearly the prince of a country, and he turned out like this.

"Can't it be cured?" Xue Jiaojiao suddenly had an idea in her heart, but she was not sure.

Thinking of this, she hastily turned around and strode away, Shan Ying chased after her.

"What did you think of?"

"It's not sure yet, I need evidence to support it."
