One of the team captains saluted Mo Lian respectfully before reporting, “Your Highness, we have searched everywhere but have not discovered any trace of Fourth Miss Shu.”
Shu Quan couldn’t help but stagger when she heard this. Her complexion immediately turned ghastly pale, and she became faint, practically about to collapse to the ground in the next instant.
Xi’er exclaimed as she rushed up to support her, “Prince Consort, Prince Consort.”
Mo Lian creased his brows. “Royal Sister-in-Law, I’ll send you back first.”
“No, no! I cannot just go back like this. Your Highness, something must have happened to my sister! It was so chaotic just now. What if, an evildoer had carried her off, then, then what should I do!” Shu Quan walied, “Your Highness, please send more people to search for my fourth sister, you must not let anything happen to her.”
“I will naturally have my men search for her, but I had better send you back first right now..”
“Your Highness!”
“Do you have anything that your younger sister touched before, like a piece of jewelry or handkerchief?” Qiao Mu suddenly asked calmly.
“Yes, yes!” Shu Quan automatically pulled out an embroidered handkerchief and carefully unfolded it. She said quietly, “My fourth sister embroidered this herself for me the year I got married.”
Qiao Mu looked at her and then gave a nod. With a wave of her fingers, several hundred small, fluttering butterflies swarmed forth. They hovered about that handkerchief for several seconds before scattering.
This scene astonished Shu Quan, and Xi’er was shocked, too.
Everyone thought that the crown prince consort had used some kind of special talisman to summon so many butterflies.
Shu Quan looked at Qiao Mu gratefully as she hastily expressed her thanks. “Thank you for the crown prince consort’s help, thank you.”
Qiao Mu did not say anything else. If she were in Shu Quan’s shoes and an evildoer had carried off her Xiao Lin’er, she would also be very worried. This was only natural.
Even though she did not really like that Madam Shu née Zhuang, this eldest prince consort looked like a sensible person.
Only ten minutes had passed when the poison-tailed butterfly queen Xiaoxiao reported by voice transmission, “Master, we have located her. Follow me.”
Xiaoxiao transformed into a multicolored butterfly and flew out from Paradise Planet, dancing about in front of Qiao Mu while flapping her wings.
Qiao Mu tugged Mo Lian’s sleeve.
Mo Lian had long known that his little wife was a capable one. He promptly understood and scooped her up by the waist before jumping onto a horse. “Half of the people stay here to keep watch, everyone else will come with me.”
Shu Quan also hastily mounted a horse to tag along. Her worry and anxiousness showed clearly in her actions.
The party trailed after the butterfly Xiaoxiao, weaving through the alleys on their horses until they stopped in front of a small, ordinary courtyard.
“This?” Mo Lian looked down at his wifey slyly.
Qiao Mu nodded.
Shu Quan still wanted to ask something, but when she suddenly heard the fourth miss’s horrific scream, her entire face promptly turned ashen.
“I-I’ll go in to take a look, y-you all don’t come in,” Shu Quan stammered before bringing Xi’er inside.
Qiao Mu looked up at Mo Lian. “How do you plan to explain this to your Royal Father?”
“Tell him the truth.” Mo Lian paid no heed as he swept the door a glance. In any case, he had already done his all to help and had found her. As for what happened afterwards, it was not their responsibility.
“But Qiaoqiao, you have been breeding such a useful group of helpers in your Paradise Planet,” Mo Lian whispered into her ear.
