C400 There Was No More News
The Praetorian Guard had searched the entire Mo'an Temple, but there was no trace of Mu Ruqing.
Changxu gathered all the aunts in the Mo'an Temple, holding a sword in his hand. He looked at the people below and his angry voice pierced their eardrums. "Empress has gone missing! If you don't tell us the truth, you will be the ones to die! Tell us!"
The leading nun slowly closed her eyes. She put her palms together in front of her chest and kept saying something.
Changxu had no patience. He stood in front of the nun. "You are the aunt in charge of the temple. You should know where Your Ladyship is. Am I right?"
"The old nun doesn't know. Empress is the mother of the country. We are just vulgar people. How can we guess what Your Ladyship wants to do?" The nun spoke slowly but did not dodge. Her eyes were full of determination.
Changxu gritted his teeth. He really could not kill them. Lingyue was taking care of the two children.
Miao Yingyu was at the side but her eyes did not know what to do. After thinking for a long time, she looked at Lingyue's side and asked tentatively, "Do you know where Qing went?"
Lingyue's hands stopped moving and glanced at Miao Yingyu out of the corner of her eye. She did not reply.
"If I can't find Qing again, she will die!" Miao Yingyu stood up and just as she took two steps, she heard Lingyue's cold voice, "Isn't this what the lady hopes for?"
"What?" Miao Yingyu thought that she had misheard and turned her head to ask to confirm.
Lingyue twisted her head and did not speak.
Miao Yingyu's expression was somewhat unconvinced, "What do you mean by saying this? Do you think I don't want Qing to be fine? We have known each other for so long. We are friends!"
" I only know that if Your Ladyship lives, Daoist Priest Yuan cannot live! "Lingyue interrupted her and turned to say to her.
"So you blamed me for Qing's disappearance?! Do you think this is fair!" Miao Yingyu pointed at herself and her voice also became louder. "Yuan Zhen is my husband. Yes, I am selfish. I don't want him to use his life to exchange for Qing's life! If it were you, what would you choose? "
" I want Your Ladyship to live! " Lingyue said without hesitation.
Miao Yingyu was shocked and did not know how to answer.
Lingyue went back to look at the children. The two children opened their big round eyes and looked around as if they were investigating the outside world.
"You can go out. You woke up the Little Princess and the Little Prince." Lingyue sighed.
Miao Yingyu was helpless. The emotions in her heart were ever-changing. The moment she went out, she heard Lingyue's apologetic voice, "Sorry."
Miao Yingyu did not let go and instead felt even more sad. She knew that Lingyue did not mean that and just could not accept it for a moment.
Supporting the door, she did not turn around, "Take good care of the two children."
Lingyue slightly turned her head and looked at the door that had just closed. The emotions in her eyes were unclear.
Miao Yingyu did not go to the front hall and just sat in the pavilion. Her hands were clasped and placed on her legs.
Looking at the gradually darkening sky, her hair fell and tears rolled down. Miao Yingyu had a stubborn look and reached out to wipe her eyes.
"Haha, what's the use of crying now?"
A voice suddenly came from above her head. Miao Yingyu stood up and raised her vigilance.
Bai Ming came down from the pavilion and fixed his gaze on her. "Not even a person can be seen. Is this what you meant by wishing for her to live?"
"Qing left. What are you doing here? " Miao Yingyu clenched her fists, her tone full of blame.
"I came to see if you guys have found her. If you can't find her again, then when you see her again, I'm afraid there will only be bones left." Bai Ming said it casually. He did not know how much he wanted to hear about Mu Ruqing.
"You did not see it either, did you?! " Miao Yingyu said confidently. In her eyes, Bai Ming should have been waiting outside.
"Hehe." Bai Ming sneered. His expression slowly became ferocious and his eyelids jumped.
Miao Yingyu felt the threat and was prepared to fight with Bai Ming. She was still a little afraid in her heart. She knew Bai Ming's strength very well.
Bai Ming walked a few steps towards her. Then he turned his head and moved his lips. He lightly jumped away.
Miao Yingyu heaved a big sigh of relief. She opened and closed her eyes again and again, and her pupils slowly became smaller.
After a while, she went to the front hall.
She stood in the passage beside the Buddha statue and looked at the furious Changxu and Yuan Zhen. She looked calm and composed. The Praetorian Guard, which was filled with killing intent and dignity, had a slight misconception that it would be great if nothing had happened.
"Da Da Da!"
This was the sound of horse hooves. Because the front door of the hall was right in front of them, they could still hear it.
When they fixed their eyes on it, they saw that Yu Longchen had arrived.
Miao Yingyu and Yuan Zhen were a little surprised. They did not know that Yu Longchen would come.
Yu Longchen entered the door and looked at the hall. He had a bad feeling about it. He looked at Changxu and frowned. "What happened?"
"Paying respects to the Emperor."
Everyone knelt down.
Yu Longchen walked up and said angrily, "What the hell!? What happened?!"
"Your Ladyship is missing!" Changxu lowered his head in shame and blamed himself.
"What did you say? " Yu Longchen approached Changxu, his tone threatening. He hoped that what he said was a lie.
"Your subordinate is incompetent!" Changxu lowered his head even more.
Yu Longchen bent down, his eyes bloodshot. He grabbed Changxu's neck and pressed him to the ground. "How did you lose him? !”
Yu Longchen had lost his mind. Everyone was in fear and did not dare to look up.
"How did you lose it?!" Yu Longchen's furious roar echoed in the hall.
"Emperor, the most important thing is to find the Empress." Yuan Zhen had already predicted Yu Longchen's appearance and there was not much anger in his heart that could make Yu Longchen calm down. He was very nervous.
Yu Longchen did not turn his head to look at him and loosened his grip on Changxu's neck.
Only then could Changxu breathe. The red color on his face, which was due to lack of oxygen, slowly faded. He struggled to say a few words, "This subordinate is useless. I did not find the Empress... Your Ladyship."
Miao Yingyu was hesitating whether she should go out or not. It turned out that Bai Ming left because Yu Longchen came.
Lingyue could not carry two children by herself and was worried about the children. She hesitated in the room.
Not long later, a Praetorian Guard went in and said with a flustered look, "The Emperor is here."
Lingyue's heart became more and more flustered and she was stunned for a while before reacting, "Wait a moment. Follow me and carry the Little Princess and Little Prince out."
The Praetorian Guard turned back and the person who had never carried a child before was very rude. The child in his hand cried out.
Lingyue's heart was anxious and wanted to get out as soon as possible. She could only instruct as she walked, "Don't do that. Lightly place the Little Prince's head on your elbow and raise the Little Prince's feet and butt with your hands."
" Oh! Good, good, good!" The Praetorian Guard suddenly came to a realization. No one knew how many movements their thick hands had changed, but they still could not grasp the key points. Fortunately, they were about to arrive.
Before they arrived, they heard Yu Longchen's angry voice. Lingyue was a little frightened. She nervously swallowed her saliva and went out with Praetorian Guard with their child.
