Chapter 221 An An and Ling Er are missing

"Father, are you unhappy?" Ling'er tilted her head with a puzzled look on her face.

"No." She touched Ling'er's head and said, "Please keep the things that the Emperor's uncle and aunt gave you. Go back quickly if you have nothing else to do. Don't sleep too long."

Ling'er responded, put the things sent by the Emperor's uncle and aunt in a separate area, and then clapped her hands with satisfaction: "Father, I'm in the side hall, come back and play with me."

After she finished speaking, she disappeared. Lu Zhanxing could only leave the space and walk slowly towards the side hall.

"Oh no, oh no, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and the Princess are missing..."

The prince's personal attendant Huaishu appeared at the banquet with a panicked look on his face.

Before, Huaishu followed Xiao Lanjue, but now that Lu Zhanyan has ascended the throne as emperor, he asked Huaishu to serve the prince.

Hearing this, Lu Zhanyan's expression suddenly changed, his eyes sharp as a knife: "Have you found them all? But the two little guys went out to play together?"

The reason why the little prince did not leave the banquet was because he fell asleep. Lu Zhanyan felt sorry for the child, so he asked Huaishu to carry An An to the left side hall to rest for a while. Thinking that An An should have woken up by now, they did not stop Ling'er from going over.

Prime Minister Su, Lu Jin and his wife, Su Xianye... and others at the banquet were all very anxious.

Huaishu said in a tearful voice: "Your Majesty, after the Crown Prince went to sleep in the side hall, I and others were waiting at the door. During this time, Prince Yi learned that the little crown prince was resting inside and did not go in. He said he wanted to go for a stroll in the Imperial Garden.

Not long after that, Her Royal Highness the Princess came in. I saw that both Her Royal Highnesses had gone to bed, so I didn’t disturb them. Unexpectedly, several poisonous snakes suddenly appeared at the door of the side hall. I quickly asked someone to clear them away, but when I came back, both Her Royal Highnesses were gone…”

Viper?

Lu Zhanyan instantly thought of the Mu family who could control snakes and insects, but now that the Mu family had been disintegrated, it was very likely that it was Mu Qingran and others who had escaped.

It can't be Mu Qingli, right?

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Queen Chu's face was pale and she was very worried, with tears in her eyes.

Su Xianye and the others turned pale, unable to control their emotions, and stood up anxiously!

Prime Minister Su, who was still relatively calm, immediately said, "Your Majesty, you should immediately have people seal off the palace gates and city gates, and search all palaces."

Lu Zhanyan immediately agreed: "The palace banquet will be in charge of the uncle for the time being. The queen and I will go to check the situation. Gu Aiqing and my elder sister will go with me."

Lu Jin was a little impatient, but he also knew that he was the most senior person in the palace banquet, and some of those who came to the banquet might be the mastermind, so he couldn't let them leave. This was also a disguised form of house arrest.

He could only agree and let the ministers continue to clink glasses.

The ministers looked at each other, knowing that they could not leave the palace until the child was found, so they could only wait patiently.

Prime Minister Su wanted to go and see what was going on, but he was afraid that Lu Jin could not control these people alone, so he could only endure it.

Luo, Su Xianye, Lu Xihan and Lu Xifei could only wait for the result anxiously with tears in their eyes.

Zhou Li could only comfort his wife.

My wife has just been diagnosed with pregnancy a month ago, so I can't be too happy or too sad.

After Lu Zhanyan and others left the hall, they immediately ordered Lu Xihua to take the imperial guards to guard the palace gate, and ordered Gu Xuyao ​​to lead the troops to search all the palaces in the imperial palace.

Gu Xuyao ​​is careful and will definitely be able to find clues. His elder sister is a martial arts expert, so he can feel more at ease having her guarding the place.

The couple immediately responded and started to act.

It happened that Sun Qiming was not on duty today, so he didn't know that such a big thing had happened in the palace.

Queen Chu also mobilized her people to look for the two little ones.

When Lu Zhanxing returned to the side hall, he found his brother and sister-in-law were there, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

She came back leisurely, otherwise she would have arrived long ago.

"Xingdi, An'an and Ling'er are missing..." Lu Zhanyan told him what happened.

Lu Zhanxing's face darkened. It had only been three quarters of an hour since he said goodbye to Ling'er in the space. It would take half an hour to walk out of the palace from here, so the criminal must not be able to leave the palace, so he must be hiding in some corner of the palace.

The mastermind behind this was also very smart, deliberately waiting until New Year's Eve to make his move.

Lu Zhanxing calmed down and asked Huaishu for details. He learned that the prince felt a little sleepy before the banquet started, so he did not go to the banquet.

Then it is very likely that the person who kidnapped An An had already taken action.

"Brother, what do those palace people say?"

Lu Zhanxing frowned, unfortunately he couldn't call Ling'er in the space. He would only know when Ling'er's consciousness entered the space.

If Ling'er was knocked unconscious or drugged, her consciousness would not be able to enter the space, and it would be difficult for me to find her.

Lu Zhanyan shook his head: "These palace servants were carefully selected by my brother and your sister-in-law. It is impossible for them to betray me."

These palace servants will not be obedient just because they are poisoned by a Gu. If they are poisoned, they would rather die.

"Since none of the secret guards were alerted, it is very likely that the waiter who served An An committed the crime. Only the Mu family would create snakes and insects. If it wasn't Mu Qingli, it would be Mu Qingran and others."

"It's not Mu Qingli, he is not that kind of person." Lu Zhanxing directly denied Mu Qingli.

Although she didn't know why, she still chose to believe him.

Lu Zhanyan looked at Xingdi in surprise. In fact, he also felt that it couldn't be Mu Qingli's, so it was most likely Mu Qingran and others.

What do they want to do by kidnapping An An and Ling Er?

"Your Majesty, Queen, I have found a female corpse in a dry well."

Gu Xuyao ​​came back to report.

Lu Zhanyan and the others went to the main hall. When Huaishu saw them, he was shocked: "It's Jinlan, the first-class maidservant beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Queen Chu also said in panic: "Your Majesty, someone pretended to be Jinlan and took An'an and Ling'er away, so the secret guards didn't find anything unusual... What should we do?"

"Don't worry, An An and Ling'er will be fine." Lu Zhanyan held Queen Chu's hand and comforted her.

"Brother-in-law, you must lead the guards to search everywhere to see if there are any secret passages or something. The palace is heavily guarded. That person was able to quietly disguise himself as the head maid beside An An. He must be familiar with the palace or have good martial arts skills."

Lu Zhanxing suggested.

"Okay," Gu Xuyao ​​responded, and continued to search with his men.

In my heart, I admire these two men. Even though my two nephews are missing, Your Majesty and my brother are so calm. They are indeed brothers.

"Brother, what do you think is the purpose of this mastermind kidnapping An An?"

The reason she said it was An An was that she felt Ling'er must have just happened to barge in and was abducted. Otherwise, if she had stayed at the banquet, nothing would have happened.

Lu Zhanyan frowned and said, "If it's Mu Qingran, he must have other intentions."

If they wanted An An's life, they could probably just kill her instead of going through the trouble of kidnapping her.

Ling'er was also taken away, probably to have an extra bargaining chip.

"I had the same idea. I will leave the palace first to arrange for a thorough investigation. My brother will stay in the palace. As long as the two children are not found, those people at the banquet can continue to stay in the palace!"

She decided to guard outside the city gate and wait for Ling'er's consciousness to enter the space, so that she would have a rough idea of ​​where she was.

She hopes Ling'er can enter the space as soon as possible. She cares about her daughter more than anyone else.

Lu Zhanyan nodded, hoping that his brother Xing's Skynet would be more powerful.

Of course, he will not give up the search.

Hopefully their children will be safe...
