Capítulo 1650: Chapter 1651: Xiao Changyi Finds Out

Tobanya instructed the remaining guards, “Go to the government office, each of you bring some people from there, search every house, and you must find the Queen! This is my Commandery Princess Token, take it, and tell the officials that I will take responsibility for this incident!”

“Yes!”

Tobanya tossed the Token to the guards and left, returning to the King of Xiyun mansion.

The more people searching, the better. She returned to the mansion to have the people there come out and search for An Jing.

Except for Qin Yi and Qin Er who were not present, the King of Xiyun mansion still had eighteen death warriors. Tobanya dispatched these warriors, each leading a team to search house by house, and then she also went to the government office to investigate the Fushou Inn.

…

Imperial Palace.

Xiao Changyi was in the Imperial Study Room discussing the relocation of the capital with Su Chengyu and the ministers.

They had been discussing for a long time, but no decision had been made.

There were many considerations in relocating the capital, and Xiao Changyi had no good ideas, so he let Su Chengyu and the ministers continue their discussion. He was just listening, planning to agree with whatever they decided in the end.

He really didn’t want to be this Parrelled King. Even though he had long found an excuse not to attend court, he still had to appear in many situations, even if just to sit there.

Just like now.

Though Xiao Changyi was sitting there silently, he seemed to be in a world apart from Su Chengyu and the others, listening to their lively discussion, while he maintained his own quiet space.

Su Chengyu and the ministers were used to Xiao Changyi’s demeanor and said nothing about it. In fact, their expectations were quite low, feeling satisfied if Xiao Changyi, the Parrelled King, showed up.

“King!” Suddenly, ignoring everything in the Imperial Study Room, Qin Er burst in.

Before the ministers could reprimand Qin Er for his audacity, they heard Qin Er urgently say, “The Queen has been ambushed and her whereabouts are unknown!”

Xiao Changyi was so shocked that he stood up immediately, crushing the white jade teacup in his hand.

Xiao Changyi wanted to go find An Jing right away, but he didn’t know where to look, so he had to let Qin Er finish speaking.

After Qin Er explained the situation in detail, Xiao Changyi quickly walked outside, his expression dark and terrifying as he commanded, “Lock down the city and search. Search every house. Turn the Imperial Capital upside down if you have to, but find her for me!”

“Yes!”

Xiao Changyi rode on Zhuri and left the palace, heading directly to the Fushou Inn. He wanted to see if there were any clues there, but before he could enter, Tobanya came to meet him.

Tobanya briefly explained that she had taken the initiative to lock down the city and conduct a house-by-house search for An Jing, and then reported on the Fushou Inn incident.

“The Fushou Inn originally belonged to someone named Zhu, but six days ago, it was bought by a man named Gong Jiafu for a high price. Mr. Zhu said that Gong Jiafu was an outsider intending to develop in the Imperial Capital, which is why he bought the inn. As the inn’s business was bad, he was eager to sell it. When someone offered to buy it, he sold it.”

“Mr. Zhu said that Gong Jiafu claimed he was from Emin. As for which county in Emin, he didn’t know.”

“Mr. Zhu’s family, his neighbors, and the shopkeepers around the Fushou Inn can testify that Mr. Zhu did not lie. Mr. Zhu is a resident of the Imperial Capital, who has never engaged in illegal activities, has always been diligent, respectful to his parents, loving to his wife and children, and maintains good relations with his neighbors.”
