Chapter 970 Moyan Goes Missing

Looking at the shocked and angry Shi Bupo, Lin Mengya finally raised her eyelids and gave him a cold look.

“Hehe, Shi Bupo, you sissy. How dare you go crazy in front of Ms. Lin? You know what? Our Master not only has awesome medical skills, but her poison skills are also unparalleled in the underworld.”

Xu Shan touched his nose and gloated.

Shi Bupo’s eyes widened when he heard this. This unfathomable poison skill was one of the best in the underworld, not to mention in the Sanjue Hall.

Immediately, a hint of worship faintly appeared in his angry eyes.

The fanaticism in his deep heart surged. For a moment, Shi Bupo realized that the woman who could easily knock him down was simply the ultimate goal of his life.

No matter how powerful a martial art was, it required hard practice and strong talent.

Whether hidden weapons or martial arts they used, they all had their own set of rules. As long as the person who was struck down was a little more cautious and powerful, it was possible to guard against them.

But the poison skills were different. He flattered himself that he had mastered various assassination methods, but he did not notice when he was poisoned at all.

In an instant, Lin Mengya, the Hall Master, occupied a higher position in his heart than Qinghu.

It was a pity that she was not interested in it at all.

“Just carry him out for some fresh air, and he will be fine. I’m warning you one last time. If I hear your nonsense again, you won’t be so lucky next time.”

Lin Mengya should not have gone so far as to lose her temper, but the anxiety inside caused her to be emotional.

The current situation was not the most secure for her.

She only found two keys out of four, and one had fallen into the hands of the Candle Dragon Cult or the Xin family.

Her uncle had mentioned that she had three years to deal with the situation starting from then.

However, there was no telling if unforeseen events would occur in the middle to accelerate the opening of the entrance to the paradise city.

“Mengya, I know you’re worried about Long Tianyu, but we can’t delay any longer.”

Watching Xu Shan carry Shi Bupo out, Qinghu sighed and said faintly.

How could she not know that? Looking at the information about the new emperor, she had a complicated expression.

After a long time, she responded softly.

“Forget it. Let’s go.”

That being said, Lin Mengya still had a feeling that there must be something hidden in Jin State’s seemingly stable internal affairs.

Hopefully, Long Tianyu could find it out in time so that those people would not have any opportunity to take advantage of it.

In the Imperial Palace in the Capital City, Long Tianyu, who had been respected as the emperor, frowned slightly.

Likewise, he had never stopped worrying about Lin Mengya.

For the first time, Baili Wuchen entered Long Tianyu’s study, dressed in a tight outfit.

He had already made it clear that he was here to resign in advance.

Sitting behind the desk, Long Tianyu looked at the confidential letter received from his subordinates, and his brows furrowed.

It was just because his beloved was in such a dangerous situation.

“Has her forces decided to set out today?”

After learning that Lin Mengya was only settling down in a village outside the Capital City for the time being, Long Tianyu understood that Lin Mengya was worried about him and was reluctant to leave.

How could he bear to let her leave? Therefore, he blocked some information that would affect Lin Mengya’s movements.

“Yes, and I will go at once. Please be rest assured, Your Majesty. Everything has been arranged well. No one will realize that I will secretly follow Her Highness to leave.”

Baili Wuchen lowered his head and reported respectfully. Everyone thought that he, Baili Wuchen, was an unpredictable and shameless villain.

Who would have thought that he had been wholeheartedly devoted to the current emperor and willing to sacrifice his reputation?

Long Tianyu nodded and then picked up the other confidential letter.

He did not open the envelope to check it out. However, his hands were gripping the brown envelope tightly. His thin lips were pursed tightly, and his eyes were cold and gloomy.

“My father … really did not give up!”

The low roar was filled with suppressed anger. The former emperor, who should have been imprisoned in the palace and unable to fight back, had been mysteriously missing on the night Long Tianyu ascended the throne.

All the guards and servants guarding him were found dead in the side chamber.

There was not a single trace of a fight in the room. It had been cleaned so completely that even a trace of blood splash could not be found.

However, those guards and servants had all been beheaded and died.

This was an absolute provocation and mockery toward him, the new emperor.

Not many people could do this, but there were a few who were mortal enemies with him.

At the thought that some people could come and go as they pleased in the Imperial Palace, Long Tianyu was furious.

“Your Majesty, on this matter, I do not think you need to worry too much. Those who can kidnap the Retired Emperor, His Majesty, may not easily harm you. And I have a feeling that these people might have something to do with Princess Rongan.”

Long Tianyu had expected this earlier.

That was why he felt so anxious.

“Your Majesty, Baiji from Yixin Courtyard says she has something very important to tell you.”

The eunuch who was waiting outside suddenly barged in.

Long Tianyu was about to rebuke him, but changed his mind when he heard “Yixin Courtyard”.

“Let her in.”

The eunuch wiped away his perspiration and thought. As he expected, nothing in the palace was more important than the name of Yixin Courtyard.

These girls were not lady-in-waiting in the Imperial Palace, but apart from the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, no one else could bother them to come over.

But just now, Baiji’s eyes turned red. She begged him to inform His Majesty in tears, so he dared not neglect her request.

“Your Majesty, please be informed that Young Master Moyan is missing.”

“What?”

Even Long Tianyu raised his voice, and Baiji, who was kneeling, burst into tears again.

“What’s going on? Hasn’t Moyan been kept in the palace? How could he be missing?”

Moyan was Lin Mengya’s lifeblood. Even when she was not around, she always entrusted the most reliable person to take care of him.

Moreover, Moyan was smart and lovely. Even Baili Rui, who always had a weird temper, regarded him as a treasure and usually raised him by his side personally.

Unexpectedly, Moyan was missing!

Long Tianyu felt a surge of killing intent rising from his heart. If anyone dared to hurt Moyan, he would kill them all.

“A few days ago, the Empress Dowager, Her Grace, told us to take Young Master Moyan back to the Hidden Dragon Mansion, in case that he might be scared by so many strangers during the grand ceremony. The next day, Young Master Moyan was missing. We thought he had sneaked out to play and looked for him in secret for a few days. Unexpectedly, we could not find any trace of him.”

Baiji blamed herself. She usually took care of Moyan, but she did not expect to lose him in the blink of an eye.

Long Tianyu’s face was ashen. If the one kneeling before him were not Baiji, he would have stabbed her in the chest and got her killed.

In addition, he was aware that Baiji loved Moyan very much. He was afraid this matter would not be that simple.

“Baiji, please try to think it back carefully. Did you notice anything suspicious on the day Young Master Moyan went missing? Also, did anyone visit the mansion those days?”

Baiji did not dare to face Long Tianyu’s wrath. In contrast, the handsome one-eyed young man, who was next to her, looked indifferent, but his tone was somewhat mild.

She could not help lowering her head to recall hard.

“Before Her Highness left, she has given us instructions. No strangers are allowed to enter the mansion except that we know everything about them. Besides, we must be carefully checked the persons who deliver things or collect trash every day before letting them pass. What’s more, Young Master Moyan has always been by Mr. Baili’s side, so it’s not easy for others to deceive him… But… but it was because His Majesty ascended to the throne and celebrated across the country for three days, some acrobatic artists and theatrical troupes seemed to have been outside the mansion. However, these things should not be contaminated easily because I have always strictly restrained the servants, not allowing them to go out without permission. But Young Master Moyan is so young that he is fond of playing. He leaned over the wall and watched the shows a few times. I felt empathy for Young Master Moyan, so I let him watch like that for a few glances.”

Baiji was worthy of being taught by Lin Mengya. Even though she had been extremely anxious, she spoke in an orderly manner.

Baili Wuchen nodded. After pondering for a while, he continued asking.

“When did you find Young Master Moyan missing? And why did you not inform His Majesty in time?”

Hearing this, Baiji was even more upset. She thought it was all her fault for Moyan’s missing.

“That day, I was taking Young Master Moyan to watch the show. Just then, the carriage delivering fruits and vegetables arrived at the mansion. The food for Young Master Moyan has always been taken care of by me. After I sorted out the things, I heard Young Master Moyan’s maids say that he was missing. They said that they had been watching him closely. However, in the blink of an eye, he was missing. I had the servants search in the mansion for a long time, and then I took some people to look for him outside. Over these days, we have searched inside and outside the Capital City, but there was no any trace of Young Master Moyan. I’m afraid… I’m afraid that the Young Master Moyan may have been kidnapped.”

Even though Baiji wanted to cry, she managed to restrain herself.

In her master’s absence, she was the head of this group of people.

If she was in a panic, wouldn’t others be in chaos?

Baili Wuchen nodded again. Baiji had her reasons to look for Moyan herself.

As far as he knew, among these girls, there was one who had a great mind for doing business.

Most of the shops in the Capital City had something to do with her.

That was to say, she could search in every corner as long as she wanted to.

If the court sent out the imperial guards, it would cause trouble unnecessarily.

On this point, these girls had an innate advantage.

But if they couldn’t find Moyan, this matter wouldn’t be that simple.

“I got it. You may leave. I will find Moyan.”

Long Tianyu’s frown deepened. He and Baili Wuchen happened to have the same view.
