Herscheng knew the other party quite well, she was definitely not the kind of person who would go back on her word, nor would she deceive her aunt with familial affection.

"Auntie, please don't worry. In my opinion, she may not have run away on her own. I will immediately have people check the situation at several palace gates. If she really left, someone in this vast palace would surely have seen her go."

If Qing was agitated, she waved her hand dismissively, "Fine, Your Majesty, quickly find someone to ask. If this palace finds out she dares to leave this palace alone and run away, I'll definitely make that little girl pay dearly!"

The princess's mouth was full of harsh words, her angry expression laced with a hint of barely perceptible grievance.

She's quite old now. She was deceived by her younger brother when she was young, and by a man from an enemy country. Now that she's elderly, she's even been deceived by a younger generation, by her daughter-in-law. If this gets out, what will become of the dignity of this Princess

It would be better if she just went back to the inner palace and locked herself up again. She wouldn't dare to see anyone.

Don't bully the elderly like that!

"Aunt, please don't worry."

He Sheng summoned his attendants and gave them orders. Shortly after, the imperial guard reported that no one had seen Fang Jinxiu at any of the palace gates, not even anyone resembling her.

"Since she's not here, it means she definitely hasn't left the palace."

"If your aunt doesn't trust the palace news, I can also send someone to guard the border passes. She has to leave Xixia and there are only a few routes she can take, all of which I know well."

He once followed Sister Jinshu through a thousand hardships and dangers across the desert, without taking shortcuts. He could only return here if he didn't take them.

He just needs to have someone guarding it in advance, as long as Fang Jinshi appears, he will definitely be able to spot her.

The Crown Princess nodded, "Then I'll trouble Your Majesty to issue an imperial decree. This palace must find Fang, Jin, and Xiu!"

As time passed, news of Fang Jinshu's disappearance within the palace spread further and wider.

The princess received news from the border the next day and knew something was wrong. That girl probably didn't disappear on her own, something must have happened to her.

She said, "Looking at Jinxiu, she doesn't seem like someone who would break a promise. Such a good child, how could she possibly lie to me."

Hearing her aunt's words, Herschel shook his head helplessly.

Luckily, Sister Jinxiu wasn't here. If she had heard Auntie say that, the two of them might have started fighting right there.

"As for me, I'm not worried that Jinxiu Sister would be in any danger. Her self-defense skills are something I've witnessed firsthand, they are beyond the capabilities of ordinary people."

"But she must have run into some trouble that's keeping her away for now."

After ruling out the possibility that Fang Jinxiu had secretly slipped away, Princess Ruochang retrieved her bond with her as a daughter-in-law. With tearful eyes and a worried expression, she lowered her head and sobbed softly.

"Your Majesty, Jinxiu has done us all a great service. You mustn't ignore her! We must find her!"

“My poor daughter-in-law, I wonder where she is suffering right now. She must be unable to return, otherwise with such a grand search within and outside the palace, she would have heard the news and come back by now.”

I have to say, the Princess's guesses are pretty accurate sometimes.

Fang Jinxiu has been trapped in the space for five days. She doesn't know how remote the place Hegong brought her to is, and after so many days, Hel Sheng and the Princess haven't found her yet.

She had originally imagined that she and the princess had made an agreement to return to Da Xi together to find A Yu, and then go into seclusion in Xizhou.

Given the princess's temper, if she didn't show up, she would be furious and want to tear the earth apart to find her.

After all, Herlsing had just ascended the throne and his heart hadn't been hardened yet. It was impossible for him to ignore himself, who had done so much to help him get there.

With these two people around, logically speaking, that old man He outside should be easy to deal with.

But she could feel that the people outside the space were still there, still guarding this big hole and digging around.

What a sin, are they planning to dig a tunnel out of the harem

Luckily, she had everything she needed in this space. There was plenty of food and drink, and even books to pass the time.

Since she couldn't get out for now, Fang Jinshu simply sat down and started researching and experimenting with her medicinal herbs again, concocting all sorts of strange and peculiar pills.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

Even Fu Shangyuan, who was far away in Daxing, felt something was amiss.

"Has the new emperor of Xixia been on the throne for half a month now"

The eunuch beside Fu Shangyuan replied, “Yes, Your Majesty. The peace treaty document from the Western Xia Kingdom has also arrived first thing. We are just waiting for Your Majesty to seal and sign it before sending it back.”

When the war between the two countries was canceled, the people and officials of Dayi were the happiest. They all let out a collective sigh of relief after wiping the cold sweat from their brows.

After hearing the eunuch's words, Fu Shangyuan's brows furrowed even tighter.

"Logically speaking, the couple should have come back by now. It's been half a month. Could it be that they don't care about the lives of these people from the family at all"

Given Fu Shangyuan's understanding of Zong Yu and Fang Jinshi, this is absolutely impossible.

He had personally witnessed Fang Jinshu defending her family, and Zong Yu. Although Mu was his adoptive mother, his affection for the Zong family surpassed that of his biological family by far.

These two people absolutely couldn't just leave the Mus family alone.

"Yes, logically speaking, Marquis Wuding should be back."

Fu Shangyuan was deep in thought, wondering if Fang Jinshi had run into some trouble in Xixia. He understood Zongyu not returning; he couldn't imagine himself going back to the capital alone without knowing for sure that Fang Jinshi was safe.

From the capital of Xixia, riding fast horses all the way into Daxixi territory, it would take no more than half a month to arrive.

Once Fang Jinshi enters the country, he will receive news from the couple here.

Now Fang Jinshu hasn't entered the country, nor has he appeared. Even news about his reputation has disappeared, which is very strange.

Fu Shangyuan paced restlessly in the hall, his brows furrowed tightly.

"By any means necessary, even if it means exposing the spies hidden in Xixia's capital, we must find out about Fang Jinshui's whereabouts. Go quickly!"

Within the West Xia Palace, as time passed, a smile finally vanished from the Crown Princess's face, leaving only madness and worry.

His son adored this daughter-in-law so much. If Ayou knew that Jinxiu had disappeared within the Xixia Palace, what face would she, as a mother, have to see him

And as for her, although she often bickered with Jinxiu and made snide remarks about her from time to time, deep down, she had already acknowledged Jinxiu and only wanted her as her daughter-in-law.

Now everyone in the palace knows that the eldest princess wanders around the entire palace with eunuchs and maidservants every day like a madman, all in search of someone.

Lord He is about to be overwhelmed by the pressure here as well.

The Imperial Guards' attendants sought him out, "Sir He, we've been digging for so long now, if we dig any further, the palace grounds will be bare. That piece of embroidered silk isn't a rat, even if she could burrow underground, there's no food or water down there."

"For so long, she would have starved to death or died of thirst even if she were buried underground."

Since His Majesty's last decree before his death was to execute Fang Jinshu, now that we have killed her, we have completed the task, haven't we

He Gonggong hesitated for a long time before speaking.

Actually, he somewhat agreed with the Imperial Guard's words. His Majesty and the Princess had also been looking for Fang Jinshi these days.

If she were still alive, there's no way she wouldn't come back to identify him and seek revenge.
