The next day, Gu Liuxi felt that her health was fine, and wanted to return to the palace, but she was forbidden to enter the imperial city, because the empress decreed that no one could enter or leave the palace at will without her approval.

Before the prince was found, the queen alone was in charge of the entire palace.

Although Gu Liuxi is a popular person beside the princess, but now the queen is in charge, and the guards dare not disobey, not to mention that the prince is missing now, and the temper of the empress is getting more and more irritable, no one dares to provoke at this time her authority.

Gao Jun wanted to make a theory, but was stopped by Gu Liuxi, "Don't make trouble at this time, they probably obey orders, and the servants can't help themselves, so let's not bother them."

Gao Jun's face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word.

Gu Liuxi nodded towards the guard, "Sorry to bother you, we'll be leaving right away."

It doesn't matter whether Gao Jun is willing or not, just drag him away.

After walking for a long time, Gu Liuxi let go of his hand.

Gao Jun asked puzzledly: "Didn't you want to go to the palace to find the national teacher to find out the whereabouts of the princess?"

"However, the queen has decreed that no one is allowed to enter the palace without her will."

Gao Jun raised his eyebrows, "Then what should we do now?"

Gu Liuxi had a thoughtful expression on his face, "If we can't enter the palace to find the national teacher, we can find other ways."

"Do you want to break into the palace at night?" At this time, breaking into the palace at night is not a good choice, because the emperor died suddenly, and the palace compound must be heavily guarded at this moment, and it is not worth the loss to go in rashly.

Gu Liuxi shook her head, "No, breaking into the palace at night at this time will cause disaster. What I said is to find another way is to go to His Royal Highness first, maybe he should be in a certain place.

Gao Jun was curious, "Where?"

"Let's go! I'll tell you when we get there."

Gu Liuxi took Gao Jun to Xinyue Building, and it was not peaceful to come in, and the number of guests in Xinyue Building also decreased a lot. When Gu Liuxi arrived, the shopkeeper was still dozing off, and there were very few people in Xinyue Building.

Gu Liuxi first found a place to sit down, and a few guests next to him were whispering. The tables were relatively close, so Gu Liuxi could clearly hear the other party's chat.

"Dude, have you heard? Something has happened to the palace in recent days."

"Oh! We just came back from other places, and we haven't heard of it. Why don't you tell us what happened."

"Okay! Okay! Let me tell you that the emperor was assassinated in the imperial study a few days ago and died."

"What? There is such a thing?"

"Hush! Keep your voice down, I tell you that strange things are yet to come! As soon as the emperor died, the crown prince disappeared immediately. After the crown prince disappeared, even the princess whom the emperor always loved disappeared. Now the palace is in chaos. .”

"Ah! The crown prince is missing, what can the palace do? A country cannot live without a king!"

"That's right! Now the Empress is looking for someone everywhere."

"No wonder we saw the Royal Forest Army patrolling everywhere as soon as we entered the city. We thought it was the emperor of that country visiting!"

"You don't know, the day before yesterday, several ministers jointly signed a letter, recommending that the seventh prince should temporarily inherit the throne, but was suppressed by the empress. Our Cangyue Empire is respected by the eldest son, and the seventh prince is still the seventh son." !"

"This is the same, but if the prince can't find the throne for a day, he can't hang in the air forever."

"Hey! That's not it! So! I heard from a relative who is an official that the ministers from all walks of life have already started to put pressure on the Queen's Empress yesterday, but fortunately, the national teacher arrived and stopped the war."

"Ah! Quickly tell me how the national teacher stopped this war?"

"I heard! For the sake of the national teacher, those ministers gave him one day. If His Royal Highness is no longer found, they will establish a new emperor, and the national teacher also agreed."

Listening to their conversation, Gu Liuxi couldn't help but frowned, what should the national teacher do if he can't find the prince within a day?

If you want to talk about the respect of the eldest son, it should be the second prince. She met this second prince once in the palace. The Cangyue Empire is in danger. If this is the case, she hopes that the Seventh Prince will be the emperor. At least the Seventh Prince is a good-looking person. The most important thing is that he still has great ambitions. The road to power.

However, the most important thing is to find Prince Xiche first, and I don't know if Prince Xiche has come back here.

She looked around, but there was no sign of Xiche.

Could it be that Heechul didn't come back here, but if he didn't come back here, where would he go?

Forget it, let's ask the shopkeeper first!It's better not to tell Gao Jun about this for now, lest he will think about her identity again.

After making up her mind to find the shopkeeper, Gu Liuxi stood up and said to Gao Jun, "I'm going to ask the shopkeeper something, you stay here first..." Gu Liuxi didn't say anything, and glanced at the table next to him.

Gao Jun nodded in understanding.

Gu Liuxi went to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was fast asleep. Gu Liuxi called him a few times but there was no response, so she simply pushed him.

The shopkeeper woke up suddenly, "Excuse me... May I ask the guest if you want to eat or drink."

"The shopkeeper, it's me."

"Ah! Gu..."

"Shh! Call me Xiaoxi." Gu Liuxi made a silent gesture to the shopkeeper.

After all, the shopkeeper is a person who has been through a big storm, and he immediately understood it, and changed his words: "Xiaoxi, what kind of wind is blowing today that keeps you here."

Gu Liuxi lowered her voice and said, "I came today to ask the shopkeeper, has Xiao Fang been here recently?"

"Ah! You said Xiaofang, that brat, didn't he? He didn't say anything when he left. It really pissed me off when he said it. You said that this person is true. I treat him so well on weekdays, so he didn't tell me when he left. Say, I don’t want any salary, if there is something urgent, just tell me, am I the kind of person who is unreasonable, right?”

Gu Liuxi just asked the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper started to complain to her.

Three black lines appeared on Gu Liuxi's forehead, and she thought to herself that he was the kind of unreasonable person, but she naturally didn't say this directly.

"What's the matter, did you ask anything?" As soon as Gu Liuxi came back, Gao Jun started to ask questions.

Gu Liuxi shook her head, "No! I didn't ask anything."

Gao Jun asked, "Then what are you going to do now?"

Gu Liuxi sighed, "I don't know, let's look around first! See if you can find His Royal Highness..."

They went all over the streets, but still couldn't find the whereabouts of His Highness the Crown Prince. Not only them, but even the national teacher couldn't find the missing Prince Xiche.

A day passed quickly, and even the national teacher couldn't find the whereabouts of His Royal Highness, and the queen had to accept her fate.

In the early dynasty, several parties had been arguing endlessly over who should be recommended to inherit the throne. Logically speaking, the second prince should be chosen, but the second prince really didn't have any big plans, and more people were willing to support the seventh prince. After all, the seventh prince His achievements are obvious to all, and even General Gu, who has always been neutral, has come to the Seventh Prince's side.

Originally, the Seventh Prince was going to return, but at a critical moment, he found that Yuxi was missing. He searched the entire palace but could not find Yuxi.

Therefore, the national teacher made a fortune-telling calculation, and the person who found the jade seal would be the real dragon emperor of the Cangyue Empire, so the imperial court had another storm of jade seals.

As for the government, it is still temporarily in the hands of the empress, the lord of the harem.

Speaking of Yuxi, Gu Liuxi immediately thought of the golden box she found in the secret room of the imperial study. Could it be that Yuxi was in the box?

She tried all her hard work but couldn't open the gold box. The box was made of pure gold, and it couldn't be cut or broken, but she was so anxious.

If there is really a jade seal in it, then she can give it to the Seventh Prince. At any rate, it can be regarded as a helping hand to the Seventh Prince. Maybe she can help her in the future!

Unable to open it, Gu Liuxi went directly to the Seventh Prince's Mansion. Unfortunately, the housekeeper and the Seventh Prince were not there, so Gu Liuxi could only wait at the Prince's Mansion.

Waiting, waiting... I couldn't bear the sleepiness and fell asleep accidentally.

When she woke up, it was completely dark, and at some point, she was moved back into the room, which was exactly the room she used to live in, and it hadn't changed at all.

She thought that the seventh prince was back, and immediately ran to the seventh prince's room.

Seeing Gu Liuxi rushing in, Lanshan Yucha frowned calmly, "Why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"

Gu Liuxi calmed down and said, "There's something I've been hesitating about whether I should tell you or not."

"Say, what is it?"

Gu Liuxi swallowed her saliva, and told Lanshan Yucha the origin of the gold box according to the story she made up before coming here.

Lanshan Yucha stared at the golden box on the table, frowned and said: "You mean the night the emperor died, you were walking through the imperial garden, and suddenly a golden box fell in front of you out of thin air, and then you heard someone Someone shouted to arrest the assassin, you picked up the box and rushed to the imperial study, but saw the emperor die?"

Gu Liuxi nodded, without changing his face, he said: "Yes, it was too chaotic at that time, and I could only bring the box back, but I tried many methods but couldn't open the box, and I don't know what is hidden inside."

Lanshan Yucha looked at Gu Liuxi, "Have you mentioned this to anyone else?"

Gu Liuxi shook her head, "It's so important, I don't dare to tell others, I decided to tell you after deliberation, it's up to you to decide." She said it so loyally that Lanshan Yucha believed it.

"Very well, don't tell the public to get rid of this beforehand. I will keep this box. You will rest in the palace today, and you don't need to go back to the palace."

Gu Liuxi hesitated, "But..." Gao Jun is still waiting for her in the inn, if she doesn't go back, Gao Jun will definitely be anxious.

Lanshan Yucha glanced at her plainly, "Don't you want to know what's inside this box? Stay here, and I'll let you know when the box is opened."

"Yes." After he said that, she could still say no.
