Chapter 1323: Looking for Ice Cicada

Dongfang Mu was practicing martial arts in the courtyard and saw Chu Yan walking towards him in a hurry from a distance.

He quickly retreated, took the sweat towel handed by the servant, and said with a loud smile: “What wind brought the Emperor here?”

Chu Yan stepped forward and asked urgently, “Master, where is Zhi’er?”

Dongfang Mu glanced at Eunuch Fu who was following him and said: “Didn’t I tell Eunuch Fu that Zhi’er went to Awu’s house for a follow-up visit, but she hasn’t returned yet.”

Chu Yan looked at Dongfang Mu with eyes as clear as usual, and he couldn’t see anything wrong.

He knew his master very well. He was very upright and forthright, his face will be unnatural when lying, especially his eyes, it was easy to distinguish when lying.

At this time, Dongfang Mu was not lying.

He relaxed and said with a smile: “When did she go out? Why did she come back so late?”

Dongfang Mu said: “I don’t know. She has been mysterious recently. She goes out before dawn every day and only comes back at night. I haven’t seen her face to face for several days. Bai Zhi doesn’t see anyone, and I don’t want to disturb her rest at night. Even her mother complained to me.”

Chu Yan’s heart sank just now: “What did you say? You have seen her face to face for several days? Then, how do you know where she goes every day?”

Dongfang Mu said: “It was the maidservant in her yard who said that she was going to give Awu a reexamination today. She left early in the morning. I also wondered, does it have to be so early?”

Chu Yan said to Eunuch Fu: “Hurry up, go and call all the gatekeepers, as well as the maidservants in her courtyard.”

Eunuch Fu went in a hurry. Seeing him like this, Dongfang Mu asked puzzled: “What’s wrong with you? What happened?”

Chu Yan said: “I’m not sure yet, I’ll know when I ask the gatekeeper and the maidservant.”

After a while, several gatekeepers from the main entrance, the side door, and the back door were called over, together with several maids from the Bai Zhi Courtyard.

Chu Yan looked at these servants kneeling in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, “Have any of you seen Miss Bai in the past few days?”

The maidservant shook their heads first, and the gatekeepers also shook their heads.

Dongfang Mu was dumbfounded when he saw it: “Haven’t seen it? You haven’t seen it? How did the young lady go out every day? Fly out?”

The old man guarding the side door said: “Master, since Miss went out with Miss Xiao Qing from the side door 7 days ago, this old slave has never seen Miss and Miss Xiao Qing again.”

Those who guard the front door and the back door said that they have not seen the lady for a long time, let alone enter and exit through the door they guard.

Dongfang Mu was also in a hurry, and hurriedly said to the maidservants in Bai Zhi’s courtyard: “Didn’t you tell me every day that Miss went out and came back? Why did you say that you haven’t seen Miss?”

The two big maidservants kowtowed to the ground, trembling and speechless.

Chu Yan asked angrily: “Why aren’t you talking? Did your lady go to Kunlun Mountain?”

Dongfang Mu was stunned. Kunlun Mountain? Bai Zhi went to Kunlun Mountain?

“What did you say? Zhier went to Kunlun Mountain? What did she go to Kunlun Mountain for?” What was Kunlun Mountain? That was a dangerous place where people can eat people without spitting out their bones. Was she looking for death?

Chu Yan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his complexion was as dark as ice, and the light in his eyes flickered: “To help Song Lang detoxify, she went to Kunlun Mountain to find the Ice Cicada. I told her to wait for me for a month. When I arrange everything here, I will go with her, why did she-”

Chu Yan felt a dull pain in his chest. He grabbed the clothes on his chest with all his strength, and his breathing became more and more urgent.
