Ning Meng Yao frowned: “Secret order?”
”That’s right, it seems to be related to the fate of the whole Xiao Residence, he didn’t obtain any useful information from Li Lin Er, that’s why he came to find us, his purpose is to see if we have any clues,” He knew more about it than Ning Meng Yao, which was why he could guess Xiao Yi Lin’s thoughts.
Ning Meng Yao frowned and looked at Qiao Tian Chang beside her: “Then we’re just going to ignore him?”
”Yup, although we’re much clearer about this matter, Qi Feng and the others feel there are others behind who haven’t appeared. They wait out to catch the big fish.
Ning Meng Yao thought for a while: “I understand.”
”Go to sleep, don’t be bothered about it and let me handle this,” Qiao Tian Chang covered Ning Meng Yao’s eyes as he whispered in her ears.
Ning Meng Yao moved into Qiao Tian Chang’s embrace, but she was still feeling worried even after what he said.
Li Lin Er was a thorn in Xiao Yi Lin’s heart, causing him to feel uncomfortable.
On this day, Xiao Yi Lin was handling his affairs in the study, the head of the secret soldiers was standing by the side and giving his report. Xiao Yi Lin furrowed his brows: “You mean to say that Xuan’er came back that day?”
”Yes, the Princess returned on that day, she headed to your wife’s courtyard and then returned to her own courtyard. She did not come out after that, but someone saw the Princess when the skies were turning dark. However, they assumed they saw wrongly.” At that time, the others had seen Xiao Zi Xuan leaving long ago.
”You mean to say, she did not leave that day and had remained in the residence? Who was the one who left?” Xiao Yi Lin furrowed his brows tightly and had an ugly expression.
”It’s her servant.”
Xiao Yi Lin who was standing up immediately sat down, his face was pale and was overwhelmed with shock.
Even so, Xiao Yi Lin still felt it was impossible, it might be a mistake, he waved and sent the person away. Xiao Yi Lin’s brows were furrowed the whole time and never relaxed.
He kept pacing about in the study, other than having a pale face, he was feeling anxious.
Right now, the Emperor still did not know that the secret order was missing, he still had a chance to search for it, or else……
Xiao Yi Lin furrowed his brows tightly while thinking about Xiao Qi Feng’s tricks, his eyes were full of worry.
Just when Xiao Yi Lin was overwhelmed with anxiety, his gaze landed at the corner of the bookshelf.
Xiao Yi Lin narrowed his eyes and walked over, he squatted down and picked up a tassel at the corner, there was a jade pendant hanging on the tassel, there was a small ‘Xuan’ word on the jade.
Previously, he was convincing himself, telling himself that it was a misunderstanding and that it had nothing to do with Xiao Zi Xuan.
But right now, he had picked up Xiao Zi Xuan’s jade pendant in the study room. Not only so, it was at the entrance of the secret room where that item was locked.
His gaze gradually became icy cold, he began recalling everything that happened when the secret order was lost, he even recalled those clumsy traces, all of it pointed out that it had nothing to do with Li Lin Er.
She did not have the time to do so, the most ridiculous part was he was tricked by such methods.
Xiao Yi Lin grabbed the jade tightly, his eyes were filled with flames, he treated Xiao Zi Xuan like his own biological daughter, he still protected her when he knew she was someone else’s daughter. He never expected that Xiao Zi Xuan would repay him in such a way. She was indeed an ungrateful wretch that couldn’t be tamed.
Xiao Qi Feng looked at the secret order in the box, there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, he had finally obtained it.
He took out the secret order from the box. Although it looked like an ordinary token, it was very important to him, it was because that token can order the most mysterious power all around Xiao Empire. Those people would only obey the owner of the token, no matter who it was.
That power was too powerful, that was why he had always thought of obtaining it.
Perhaps Marquis Ling and the others did not realize the token in their hands was a fake.
”Brother, what is the use of this token?” Xiao Qi Tian usually had no interest in such things, he only asked out of curiosity after seeing Xiao Qi Feng being so glad.
