Liu Rumei frowned and said, "If it is really Lin Chunhua, now that Caidie is missing, it will surely catch her attention. I'm afraid we've already alarmed the snake."
Mo Litian nodded in agreement. "I'll have someone bring her back right away!"
Liu Rumei nodded and bowed to Mo Litian. "Thank you, Your Highness, for going through this trouble!"
Mo Litian didn't say much. Immediately, he left with his guards.
Xiao Heyuan looked up at the sky and found that it was already the Xu hour. Seeing that it was getting dark, he said to Liu Rumei, "Miss Liu, it's getting late. You'd better go back first."
But Liu Rumei shook her head and smiled. "It's okay. Let's wait for His Highness the Crown Prince to come back."
I wonder how Magistrate Xue is doing?
At that moment, Xue Zhan was in a dyeing workshop. Looking at the cloth hanging around, his eyes were full of cold light.
After a while, the yamen runners came back one after another, but they found nothing. Zhang Yan's face was full of impatience. Damn it! He had escaped again!
There was also a bit of coldness in Xue Zhan's eyes. He, the magistrate of the capital, had been toyed with by someone. And that person had even dared to break into the yamen to commit a crime. It was really a great humiliation!
At this time, a yamen runner suddenly ran towards them, holding a piece of clothing in his hand. "Your Honor, there's a room over there. Your subordinate found this in it."
Xue Zhan reached out and took it. He compared it with the gray cloth brought by Zhang Yan. Sure enough, he found the torn trace on the hem of the dress. There was no doubt that this dress belonged to Zhao San!
Immediately, he stepped towards the direction from which the yamen runner had come. Looking at the shabby room, his face sank. "We're a step too late!"
Zhang Yan was also very angry. This Zhao San was really extremely cunning!
In the Flower Tower.
Lin Chunhua frowned when she saw the man who suddenly broke into her room. "Why are you here?"
The man snorted. "I can't stay here anymore. I have to leave as soon as possible!"
Lin Chunhua inserted the last hairpin on the table into her hair bun. Only then did she stop with satisfaction. She turned around and looked at the man, her eyes full of impatience. "We're still short of two people! When everyone is here, I'll arrange for you to leave!"
The man frowned, his eyes full of anxiety. "They've already found out about me! I can't act anymore! That Xue Zhan is not an ordinary person. If I hadn't accidentally known his secret back then, I wouldn't have been able to escape!"
Lin Chunhua sneered with a curl of her lips, her eyes full of threat. "You have no choice! I could let you leave back then, and I can send you in now! Either help me find the two people, or..."
Although the words were not finished, Zhao San already understood what she meant. He couldn't help clenching his teeth.
Seeing his expression, Lin Chunhua smiled with a curl of her lips. "Why are you so worried? With that person around, even if you're caught, you can still come out unscathed. What is he, Xue Zhan? Isn't he still obedient to that person?"
Zhao San's expression turned a bit cold. "Don't forget, there's also the Crown Prince. Even though that person has great power, how can he go against the imperial power?"
Lin Chunhua showed no sign of fear. She smiled faintly and said, "You don't need to worry about this matter. Just help me find the two people. Someone will take care of the rest later!"
After saying that, seeing that Zhao San still looked a bit unhappy, she stepped forward and smiled with a curl of her lips. "Don't you like Tao Yao? I promise that after this is done, she'll be yours!"
Hearing this, Zhao San's eyes lit up instantly. Thinking of Tao Yao's charming figure and soul - stirring eyes, he couldn't help licking his lips. "Is this true?"
Lin Chunhua smiled faintly. "Of course! When have I ever lied to you?"
A smile curled up on Zhao San's lips. "Fine! I can't stay in my place anymore. I'll stay in the Flower Tower these days."
Lin Chunhua immediately frowned and said without hesitation, "No! There are too many people in the Flower Tower. If the news gets out, it won't be good."
Hearing this, Zhao San snorted. "Then find me a safe place."
Lin Chunhua was extremely angry. "I told you not to kill anyone, but you just didn't listen. Now it's good. I have to clean up your mess!"
Zhao San looked unperturbed. He picked up the fruits on the table and ate them without any courtesy. "This is my only hobby. If you want good results, I have to choose carefully. Moreover, I've been so worried and worked so hard. Can't I have some entertainment?"
Lin Chunhua snorted. Just as she was about to speak, there was a commotion outside the door.
Lin Chunhua immediately winked at Zhao San. Zhao San quickly slipped under the bed. He tightly grasped the dagger hidden in his waist, his eyes full of coldness.
After a while, Du Juan knocked on the door. Her brows were slightly furrowed, looking pitiful. "Mom, His Highness the Crown Prince is here."
Lin Chunhua immediately frowned. When she turned her head, she saw Mo Litian walking towards them. Immediately, a flattering smile appeared on her face. "Greetings to Your Highness the Crown Prince. May I ask what important matter brings Your Highness here today?"
Mo Litian said coldly, "The case of Peony is complicated. I have some doubts and would like you to come with me to clear them up for me."
Lin Chunhua was slightly stunned. She subconsciously glanced around the room. Damn it! Could it be that this person has been discovered?
Mo Litian noticed her movement. A look of suspicion flashed in his eyes. Immediately, he winked at the guards behind him.
The two guards immediately understood and quickly bypassed Lin Chunhua and rushed into the room.
Lin Chunhua was shocked. "Your Highness the Crown Prince, what do you mean by this?"
But Mo Litian ignored her. He also stepped into the room. His gentle but aloof voice came slowly. "I just saw a figure flash by in your room. For your safety, Madam Hua, I have to search carefully."
Lin Chunhua couldn't help grinding her teeth secretly. She hated Zhao San for causing her so much trouble!
But in the face of Mo Litian, Lin Chunhua couldn't find any reason to refuse. She could only watch them search helplessly.
Mo Litian's eyes were full of a strange light. He secretly observed Lin Chunhua's expression. Seeing that she looked extremely nervous, the coldness in his eyes deepened. "Search carefully!"
"Yes."
Du Juan tightly followed Lin Chunhua. Her eyes were full of worry. Could something bad happen?
Seeing a guard approaching the bed, Lin Chunhua's heart tightened even more. Her breathing became a bit heavier. She could only clench her teeth and say, "Your Highness said you still have doubts. There are usually few people in my room. Why does Your Highness waste your time?"
Mo Litian still said indifferently, "It doesn't matter. I have plenty of time!"
Lin Chunhua secretly gritted her teeth. Watching the guard lie on the ground and look under the bed, the hand hidden in her sleeve tightened a bit more.
