Fu Jiujiu heard her daughter's voice and was about to get up, but Tang Xian got there first. However, she was not in the mood to go back to sleep, so she followed her.

Tang Xian was very lucky that he didn't do anything, otherwise he would have been really embarrassed.

"Luan'er, what happened so early in the morning?"

As he spoke, his warm embrace enveloped the little princess.

Tang Luan was clearly in his arms, but his eyes were looking at Fu Jiujiu behind him, as if his father was just a tool.

"Queen Mother, the white peacock is missing. I have searched twice in the palace and haven't seen it."

Fu Jiujiu frowned slightly and felt very puzzled, "How can you disappear if you are fine?"

"Not a good one."

"What's wrong with it?" Fu Jiujiu asked. Although she has known the white peacock for a longer time, there is no doubt that her daughter is closer to it.

"It said yesterday that it was leaving and asked me to take good care of myself. I thought it was angry and I didn't give it walnut kernels. I... I had known it was so angry, so I would have given them to it. I didn't It doesn’t matter if you eat.”

Tang Luan felt a little aggrieved, and his eye circles were still red.

Tang Xian patted her back distressedly, "Don't worry Luan'er, my father will order someone to find her right now."

"Queen Mother, what should I do? Will it be captured, plucked and made into a roasted peacock to eat?" Tang Luan once again ignored her extremely powerful father.

Tang Xian didn't even dare to get angry.

"Probably not. Our Li Dynasty regards peacocks as auspicious things. Besides, although that peacock is not smart, it is not stupid either. Did it say anything else?"

Tang Luan shook his head, "It said a lot, Queen Mother, let me think about it."

"Okay, sit down and think about it."

Tang Xian had already ordered the people outside to find the white peacock. This was his little princess's favorite friend and he must find it.

"Queen Mother, let me go find it too. It must be angry with me. I will give it all the delicious food in the future."

Fu Jiujiu gently touched her daughter's head, "Luan'er, your father has already asked many people to help you search for her. You'd better rest. Didn't you say that you have already searched the palace twice?"

"But, I still haven't found it!"

Tang Xian was very distressed. His daughter woke up early in the morning and ran around the palace twice on an empty stomach. How did she do it?
"Are you hungry? My father will ask someone to prepare breakfast for you."

Tang Luan was finally willing to look at Tang Xian. Tang Xian was still a little excited because his daughter finally saw him.

"Father, can you please stop talking about these unimportant things? My mother and I are discussing the white peacock."

If it weren't for the special circumstances, Fu Jiujiu would really laugh and make Tang Xian feel embarrassed. He didn't do it, but someone did.

"Okay, okay, you discuss it with your mother, and my father will give you a glass of water." Tang Xian shook his head. Why was he disliked by his daughter?

"Queen Mother, you are the most powerful. Do you think it will be okay?"

Fu Jiujiu didn't know why the white peacock left. He had to wait for his daughter to explain in detail what happened yesterday before he could make a conclusion.

Tang Luan took a sip of water from Tang Xian's hand, and then stopped looking at him.

"Nothing happened yesterday. It just jumped off the roof and fell. I laughed at it, and then it said it was leaving and told me to take care of myself."

"Didn't it say when it would come back?" Fu Jiujiu asked again.

"It didn't say it, but it said it would come back to me. Mother, am I too stingy? I also think I shouldn't laugh at it, but it was really funny at the time. What should I do?"

"Don't worry Luan'er. Since he said he was looking for you, he certainly wasn't lying to you."

"But I do miss it."

"Don't worry, Luan'er. Father will definitely help you find it. I heard... he's back." Tang Luan opened his eyes wide and heard someone coming from outside to report, "Master, we found traces of the white peacock. "

"Where is it? Have you brought it back?" Tang Luan looked outside excitedly, but did not see the shadow of the white peacock.

Fu Jiujiu saw that the guard looked wrong and hesitated, "What's going on? Tell me!"

She believed her daughter was not fragile.

"Yes, as soon as the subordinates and others left the palace, they saw the young master of the Mu family returning the body of the white peacock...!"

"Corpse?"

Neither Fu Jiujiu, Tang Xian and his wife, nor Tang Luan could accept the news.

"How could it be a corpse? Do you think the white peacock is dead?" Tang Luan's big eyes were filled with tears.

"Queen Mother, please save it quickly."

"It...has been out of breath for a long time." The guard couldn't bear to see the little princess sad, but this is a fact, even gods can't save her.

"Mother!"

"Bring it here and let me take a look!" Fu Jiujiu said in a deep voice.

After a while, Fu Jiujiu looked at his daughter and shook his head gently, "Luan'er, it's really dead."

"Mother!" Tang Luan curled her lips and cried loudly. Although she knew what death was like, it was too cruel to her.

"How did you die? Poisoned? Or injured?"

Tang Xian had already thought that if there was any abnormal way of death, he would seek an explanation for his daughter.

Fu Jiujiu hugged her crying daughter and shook her head. Her heart ached. After all, the peacock had been by her side for several years.

She was as fond of it as Chirp and Chirp.

"No, it's not an accident, nor is it planned, but the person looking at it is not very old." Fu Jiujiu felt that the white peacock was only middle-aged according to people's age.

"Queen Mother, I want it to live."

Fu Jiujiu was heartbroken, but she had to comfort her daughter, "Luan'er, when there is reunion, there will be separation. If he said he would see you again, then he will definitely see you again."

"But it is dead. The other white peacocks are not it anymore."

"It may not be a white peacock!" Fu Jiujiu murmured.

She always felt that this matter was strange.

"Come here, go and bring Master Mu who brought it back. I have something to ask him."

Tang Luan just felt sad and burst into tears looking at the body of the white peacock. Moreover, she did not want to leave her mother's arms. Only her mother's arms made her feel more comfortable.

Fu Jiujiu met Mu Ting with her daughter in her arms.

Seeing Mu Ting, Tang Luan was startled. Isn't this the guy who wanted to please her?
Mu Ting bowed politely, and then stood there quietly, waiting for Fu Jiujiu to ask questions.

"How do you know this white peacock belongs to the palace?"

"Back to your Majesty, I saw this white peacock next to the princess at the last palace banquet, so when I saw it outside the palace gate, I thought of the princess."

"It was already dead when you saw it?"

"Yes, the servants of the Mu Mansion discovered him. I only found out when I went out and overheard them discussing this matter. My condolences, princess!"

When Tang Luan heard what he said, he cried even more sadly, which almost broke Tang Xian's old father's heart. (End of chapter)
