Qian Lingshuang followed Shen Qinglan to Hengqianyuan. Along the way, she was very flustered, for fear that Zhao Yi would really do something outrageous.

After entering the gate of the courtyard, Qian Lingshuang asked directly: "Where are the people in the dungeon? My concubine is ordered by King Heng to come to the dungeon of Hengqianyuan to arrest people."

"Concubine Shizi, you... what do you mean? This old slave doesn't understand." said the housekeeper of Hengqianyuan.

"Don't pretend to be confused with me! I'm asking you!" Qian Lingshuang said in a deep voice.

"The old slave really doesn't understand, who was imprisoned in the dungeon? If the concubine Shizi doesn't believe it, the old slave can take you there to have a look." The steward said.

"Okay, lead the way." Qian Lingshuang said.

"Yes, this way please."

The housekeeper walked in the front, leading Qian Lingshuang and Shen Qinglan towards the dungeon.

Along the way, Shen Qinglan had a faint feeling of bad premonition.

Maybe Yan'er and Ji Fan have been transferred by Zhao Yi at this time, otherwise the housekeeper would not have agreed to lead the way so readily.

Thinking of this, she only felt panicked, her hands and feet were cold, and she was sweating.

"Shen Qinglan, are you okay?"

Qian Lingshuang noticed something strange, held her hand, and said in surprise, "Oh! Why are your hands so cold? Juanzi, bring me my hand stove."

Saying that, Fu'er took the hand stove and was about to put it in her hand.

Shen Qinglan waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm not cold."

"What nonsense, your hands are so cold, and you still say it's not cold! I see, your complexion is not very good, don't worry too much." Qian Lingshuang said,
Shen Qinglan took a deep breath and said, "Let's go...as long as Yan'er and Ji Fan are well, I will be well."

Qian Lingshuang also took a deep breath, and she also had a faint premonition that at this moment, Yan'er and Ji Fan might not be in Hengqianyuan anymore, they came late.

"I'm sorry, I'm so useless, I...I can't persuade Zhao Yi." Qian Lingshuang said.

Shen Qinglan sneered, "Qian Lingshuang, let me tell you, I will never let him go this time, if something happens to Yan'er and Ji Fan, even if I risk my life, I will let him pay for it with blood." !"

Qian Lingshuang was a little scared, and quickly protected her arm, saying: "It will be fine, it will be fine, you have to pay attention to your body... Butler, go!"

"Yes."

The butler who was at the front quickened his pace and led everyone to the dungeon.

Shen Qinglan let go of Qian Lingshuang's hand, and hurried in.

"Yan'er! Brother Ji!"

Shen Qinglan yelled, but there was only an empty echo and no one responded.

"Sister Yan'er! Brother Ji! Are you there?" Fu'er shouted.

"Quick, look for it! Look for it separately!"

After Shen Qinglan finished speaking, he led people to the left, while Qian Lingshuang led people to the right.

It didn't take long for the two sides to return to the original point.

"How is it? Has anyone been found?" Shen Qinglan asked.

Qian Lingshuang shook his head and said, "No...they are no longer here..."

Shen Qinglan refused to believe it, turned her head to the right with hope, and searched for it herself.

Sure enough, there was not even half a person in the entire dungeon, nothing.

She squatted down slowly, only feeling that she was weak all over, as if the last nerve that was tense had been broken.

"Princess, are you alright? Sister Yan'er and Brother Ji are not here, let's look elsewhere, maybe there are other dungeons in Hengqianyuan!" Fu'er said.

"Girl, Wangfei, Shizifei, there is really only one dungeon in our Hengqian Courtyard, so you don't have to bother to find it anymore," the housekeeper said.

Shen Qinglan slowly raised his head and stood up, only to see some bloodstains on the ground that had not been completely removed.

Seeing this scene, her eyes darkened and she almost fell down. Fortunately, Tao Guan'er stepped forward in time and helped her up.

"Sister Shen, go wait outside for a while, Miao Ke and I will lead people to search the entire Hengqian Courtyard," Tao Guan'er said.

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Okay, you guys go quickly."

"Yes."

Qian Lingshuang also came over and said, "I'll send someone to look for it too, don't be too anxious."

Shen Qinglan sniffed, looked at Qian Lingshuang and said, "Ah Shuang, you once said that you envied my life, but now you know that my life... what kind of life is it?"

"I……"

Qian Lingshuang didn't know what to say, but seeing Shen Qinglan so anxious and sad, her heart felt like a needle was pricking her.

"Wangfei, Shizifei, let's go out first, it's too cold in this dungeon." Juanzi said.

"Yes, Sisi, let's go."

Qian Lingshuang said, holding Shen Qinglan's hand, and walked towards the outside of the dungeon.

After leaving the dungeon, Shen Qinglan suddenly stopped and looked at the housekeeper.

"Let me ask you, where are my girl and the nursing home?" Shen Qinglan asked coldly.

The butler was startled, cupped his fists and said, "Princess, I really don't know."

"I think you're tired of living."

After Shen Qinglan finished speaking, she looked at the red wall beside her, and she knew that Dongfang Yun and Dongfang Wu had arrived at this moment.

"Come on, take him down!" Shen Qinglan said.

As soon as the words fell, two men dressed in white appeared on the other side of the wall, carrying a bow and quiver behind their backs, and holding a long knife in their hands, they quickly came to them, and together they pressed the housekeeper to the ground.

"Princess...Princess, please spare me! This old servant really doesn't know anything. This old servant has never seen anyone come to the dungeon, nor has he seen anyone leave! Why do you want to embarrass us slaves..." The steward repeatedly begged for mercy.

"As long as you say it, I will guarantee that your whole family will be safe and sound." Shen Qinglan said.

"This old slave really doesn't know..." the butler said.

Shen Qinglan clenched her fists and turned to look at Qian Lingshuang.

Qian Lingshuang naturally understood what she meant, stepped forward and said: "Old housekeeper, we don't want to make things difficult for you, don't worry, I guarantee you as the concubine, even if you say it, the prince will not do anything .”

"But... but this old slave really doesn't know anything! Think about it, if the elder son really did such a thing, he wouldn't tell this old slave! This old slave came on duty early in the morning and didn't see anyone Who goes in and out of the mansion." The butler said.

"Did you notice anything unusual?" Qian Lingshuang asked.

The butler thought for a while, and said, "If you go back to Shi Zifei, there seems to be blood at the back door."

"Are you sure?" Shen Qinglan asked quickly.

"Old slave... this old slave is getting old, maybe it's his eyesight, and he doesn't see very clearly. Shizifei, Wangfei, even if I have a hundred guts, this old slave wouldn't dare to lie to you two!" said the steward.

Shen Qinglan clenched her fists and asked, "Where is that blood?"

"It's in the small garden by the back door!" said the housekeeper.

"Okay, take us to see it now, and I warn you, if you play tricks, I won't let you go." Shen Qinglan said.

"Yes, yes, the old slave dare not lie."

After the housekeeper finished speaking, Dongfang Yun and Dongfang Wu let him go.

"Let's go!" Dongfang Yun said.

"Yes……"

The butler led the way again and brought everyone to the back door.

The two Dongfang brothers searched around, but they didn't see any blood.

"Housekeeper, where is the blood you mentioned?" Qian Lingshuang asked.

The butler was confused, pointed to the side of the garden, and said, "It should be there. I saw some red marks, but I'm not sure if it's blood."

"You tricked us!"

As Dongfang Wu said, he drew the knife out of its sheath, and put the sharp blade on the butler's neck.
