"What's going on! Where has Li Yatou gone? Have you sent someone to other palaces to find it?" The three people who were talking in the palace were shocked by the news that Yun Xiu suddenly brought. Li Qianrou in the main seat asked anxiously.

"Empress, I, when I went to Miss Ziling's room, I found that there was no one inside. I thought it was the lady who was playing so much that she went out." He stepped forward and handed the letter in his hand to Li Qianrou: "But after I went in, I saw the letter on the desk, and I realized that he was leaving the palace to look for the prince."

"Nothing! Ling'er is so old, she is still so willful and has no brains when doing things. Are you not afraid of it being a lie!" After hearing the words, Li Zige angrily slapped the table.

"Zige, who knows that Chen Yao goes to Youmingjian? How did Ziling, a little girl in the palace, know the news faster than this palace?"

"No one knows that we have a good relationship with Chen Yao."

"Look at what is written on it."

After taking the letter paper handed by Li Qianrou, Li Zige and Gong Hanting and the others looked at it.

"Aunt, Ling'er went to Youmingjian to find Chen Yao's cousin. Don't worry. Come back with your cousin after you find it. Auntie, don't hang it: Zi Ling left a book"

After reading this, the two of them looked at each other and tacitly thought of the word conspiracy.

"Miss Yunxiu, do you know who gave Ling'er the news?"

"Mr. Li, I don't know. I asked the maid who served Miss Ziling, but they did not find any abnormal situation. It seems that the man intentionally concealed his identity."

"Oh, it's all my fault. I have ignored this girl's feelings these two days. Ling'er knows martial arts. If something happens on the road, how can I explain to your father!" Li Qianrou said with a worried look on her face.

"Empress, Zige, otherwise, I will ride my horse and go along the direction towards Youmingjian, and maybe I will meet Miss Li." Gong Hanting, who was sitting next to me, spoke.

"This, Hanting, please give me yours. Now my father is about to arrive in the capital, I can't leave, hey." Li Zige said gratefully to Gong Hanting, "Auntie, Ling'er has no token to leave the palace, how did he get out?"

"Since Zige agrees, it is not convenient for me to say anything. If you need something to bring on the road, you can ask Yunxiu to prepare." After thinking about it, Li Qianrou said: "Last year on Ziling's birthday, I gave her the token from Qifeng Palace. I originally thought that she could suffer less grievances when encountering trouble in the palace, but I didn't expect that, alas."

"Thank you, thank you aunt." The two of them spoke at the same time.

"Aunt, you are kind, so don't blame yourself too much."

"Hanting, my uneasy sister is safe, so I'll ask you."

"What are you polite to me? Without further ado, I'll set off now."

"Well, Yunxiu, you send the young master of the palace out. You can go to the palace gate to check if there are any people from Qifeng Palace that have left the palace this morning, so it is best to determine the time."

"Yes, Empress."

After the two of them went out, Li Zige said, "Aunt, there are still some things to deal with, so I will say goodbye first. Don't worry about Ziling's affairs, Hanting's kung fu is still good."

"Yeah, that's good."

Looking at the empty Qifeng Palace for a moment, Li Qianrou closed her eyes with a headache, worried about her son and Li Ziling's affairs.

Li Zige, who came out of Qifeng Palace, thought in his mind how his sister would know Youmingjian. A person's name flashed through his mind. After he had a scheming in his heart, his steps became faster and faster.

Inside the Pepper Room

Queen Lin Yaluan was wearing a golden embroidered phoenix dress, leaning against the soft couch, holding a cup of tea in her right hand, listening to Hongye’s report while tasting.

"Empress, the news has been sent to Miss Li, and Miss Li has also left the palace." Hongye stood beside him and said respectfully.

"He left the palace so soon? How did she go out? I don't know who gave me the news." The queen was a little surprised.

"I used the token from Qifeng Palace, and no slaves were found."

"Haha, this is so fun." Lin Yaluan looked at the teacup in her hand with a sinister expression, "The throne can only be my son's. No matter who it is, if it blocks my son's way, that person will definitely be doomed."

"The meridians in the human body can generally be divided into twelve meridians and eight extraordinary meridians. The twelve meridians refer to the gallbladder meridian, liver meridian, and lung meridian..." In summer, the mottled light and shadow shone through the dense branches on the ground of the courtyard. The woman in a water-blue dress on the stone table did not feel the heat at all, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she was holding a yellowed book in her hand, caring the contents of the book seriously. A red fox was lying beside the stone table.

"The task is done! Thanks to the guidance of my master, I can memorize the meridians so quickly." Looking at the shadow cast by the sunlight, estimating the time, he said to Puff lying on the stone table: "Let's go, take you to have something delicious."

Qi Liyan put the book in his arms, stretched his arms, picked up Puff and walked towards the kitchen.

"Hey, hurry up the carriage, maybe you can catch up with cousin Chen Yao! I'm adding ten taels of silver to you, don't rest, I'm going to Youmingjian quickly." At this time, the girl in the pink dress who was sitting in the carriage, lifting the curtain with her left hand and constantly fanning with her right hand, was Li Ziling who sneaked out of the palace. At this time, she was grateful to the nanny who would send her messages to her in a dawn, but she didn't know that because of her ignorance, she was stepping into the trap dug by others.

"Miss, now it's hot, and I've been traveling for three hours in a row. Even if you add money, I won't go." A coachman sitting under the shade of the tree said dissatisfiedly: "I really don't understand that you official ladies are going so far in hot weather. If it weren't for your high money, I wouldn't have gone."

"You, why are you like this? Didn't you say you wouldn't have a rest all the way when you took the business? Now that you give the money, you just turned against each other." Li Ziling, on the one hand, was worried that the news of his stealing out of the palace was found out by Li Qianrou and sent someone to find him. On the other hand, she was worried that the time was too long on the road would not be able to meet Feng Chenyao.

"Your way, if you still want to go to the Youmingjian you mentioned, just wait until you get off and rest, otherwise, you can get off now and consider changing a carriage."

"You, you are not honest." Looking at the driver who closed his eyes and was dozing under the tree, Li Zi shook the curtain heavily with aura and sat in the car to sulk. After a long time, his eyes turned, and looked at the driver who was sleeping under the tree, gently sat on the beam of the car and drove away by himself. Relying on the horse-riding horse that had been riding since he was a child, he shouted proudly at the driver who scolded him in anger and devastated manner, "Since you think the weather is hot, then I will think that I bought your carriage, haha. Goodbye!"

Looking at the car shadows getting farther and farther away, the coachman chased after them until he could not see the shadows and cursed them all over the place. It was a coincidence that he was just out of the city to look for them; Li Ziling's Gong Hanting heard it.

"Now, I have never heard of Youmingjian. If you didn't think of the money you gave me, you could fool me and now you have no carriage, so why are you so unlucky?"

Gong Hanting was wearing white clothes and riding a horse. He vaguely heard the words Youmingjian. After getting off the horse, he walked to the driver who was squatting on the ground: "Master, have you seen a girl in pink clothes, about sixteen years old?"

"Who are you?" said with a bad tone: "I have seen it. I said I went to Youmingjian and I just stole a carriage from me. Do you know her?"

"Yes, yes, yes, just go to Youmingjian. Can the master tell me where she is now?" Gong Hanting said happily when he heard this.

After looking up and down at Gong Hanting's clothes, the coachman said, "Yes, yes, but your friend stole my carriage. You have to pay me the money first before you can tell you where she is."

When Gong Hanting heard this, he felt depressed and didn't want to ask again, but he agreed to Li Zige's affairs, "Tell me, how much money do you want?"

"Not much, no, no, you can give me fifty taels of my carriage and horse." He said with a philanthropic expression on his face.

"Why don't you go and grab it? With your outfit, can your carriage be worth fifty taels?"

"Fifty taels are pretty small. You can't take out the look of the person you wear. Tsk tsk, in this way, I can't tell you whereabouts of your friend. It's a pity that she is a girl's house, so far away, I don't know what danger she will encounter." After saying that, she pretended to cover her face and cried.

"Okay, OK, I'll give it to you, this is fifty taels. Now it can be said." Looking at the man opposite, he took out the money in annoyance, but he had already scolded Li Ziling in his heart. He was so in trouble. He thought that he would cheat Li Zige well when he went back.

"You can touch it by walking along the right side." He put the silver in his mouth and bit it, and said in a slutty way.

"Hmph, it's better to be true, otherwise, I will definitely want you to look good when I come back." After saying that, he got on the horse and left.

"Bah, today I've made a profit. Even if you leave for a day, you won't be able to find your friend." Thinking of the words Gong Hanting left when he left, he was sweating all over and stopped going to the city. He packed the silver and ran to an unknown place to run away.

"Jixue, hold on for a while. The map shows that there is a Qinglian Lake not far ahead. You can rest for a while when you arrive." At this time, Feng Chenyao walked about one-third of the journey, looked up at the vicious sun in the sky, and said to his horse: "Fei is still waiting for the red flower to help his life."

He comforted the horse's hair on the horse's head with both hands, looked at the map, and walked towards Qinglian Lake not far away. The horse's hooves were stepping on the hot summer air, leaving a faint dust. In less than a cup of tea, Feng Chenyao felt a trace of moisture coming from the wind. He knew that the lake was not far away, so he urged the horse to hurry up.

The trees on the shore are lush, and Qinglian Lake crossing the banks. People can't see the source at first glance. Under the sunlight, there is a faint silver-white luster. Looking at the lake in front of them, Feng Chenyao felt a sense of tranquility in his heart. He dismounted, led the snow to the lakeside, and fed the horses before he drank two sips of lake water, washed his face, and let the breeze blow the green robe, but his thoughts were Qi Ruoyun and his friends. His inner thoughts about Qi Ruoyun made him not know that this time he went to Youmingjian, God would give him an unexpected surprise.
