Chapter 5 — Hong Nhan Muu

The difference from the previous life is that in this life, under the arrangement of the Crown Prince, the elder brother had already led the army to hunt bandits. After interrogation, it was discovered that the group of people were just migrants from other places. They had no place to go, so they gathered in a ruined temple on the outskirts. During the day, he went to the city to beg for a living, and at night he slept in a deserted temple. Because the Crown Prince was reminded by me, he had already set up a net in that area long ago. At the same time. I followed my father to the general's palace to congratulate him. Even though I was divorced by Tieu Hoai Phong, he and my father both worked as officials in the court, so we still had to maintain some appearances, so that we could show the temperament of a noble woman. The general's palace was extremely bustling at this time. I saw with my own eyes how they worshiped and became friends. Then, based on the trajectory of what happened in the previous life, quietly wait. It was just dusk. I avoided the crowd and quietly entered the inner courtyard with the close maid sent by the Crown Prince. I saw with my own eyes two maids entering the new room. Before even a cup of tea had passed, only one maid bowed her head and walked out. The clothes were nothing unusual, but the bright red embroidered shoes on her feet were extremely eye-catching. Watching her leave quietly, the maid and I looked at each other, then returned to the lobby. At this time, the Crown Prince and Great Prince also arrived. Tieu Hoai Phong's face was full of spring and pride, constantly entertaining guests. I nodded slightly to the Crown Prince, then quietly hid among the noble ladies. The Crown Prince immediately understood, without revealing any trace, he glanced at the entourage next to him. The entourage silently retreated. Not long after, the servants who had been installed in the general's palace frantically ran to report:

“General, it's not good, ma'am... ma'am is nowhere to be seen.”

Tieu Hoai Phong, who was chatting with guests, immediately changed his expression, grabbed the person and shouted: "What do you mean the lady is nowhere to be seen anymore?"

"We... we servants also don't know... just when Tieu Thuy brought the tea inside, we found that Tieu Hong and Tieu Lan had both fainted, and the lady was not in the room..."

Tieu Hoai Phong pushed the servant away and ran directly towards the new room. The originally noisy lobby immediately became heavy. Everyone was simultaneously talking about the bride's sudden disappearance. Not long after, Tieu Hoai Phong returned. He called the guards in the palace, preparing to go out to find someone. At that moment, the Great Prince, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up to stop him:

"General Tieu, don't be hasty, maybe the lady is still in the palace. There are many guests coming and going today, about the lady's disappearance, in my opinion, it's better to start investigating from within the palace first."

"Where are you? You all help the general find people, see if anyone is acting suspiciously, and you must find the lady."

“Obey!”

The people led by the Great Prince immediately stepped forward to listen to the order and stood outside the hall waiting for Tieu Hoai Phong's instructions.

“Not good.” I immediately voiced my doubts.

“When was the last time you saw the lady?”

The servant replied: "About one stick of incense ago, the general ordered the old slave to bring some food for you, at that time you still in the room.” I turned to look at Tieu Hoai Phong: "General Tieu must have searched the backyard just now. If the thief hid his wife in the palace, it would be impossible for him not to be discovered. According to what this servant said, has the lady been taken away by someone?" I deliberately showed a worried face, little by little leading the search outside the palace. The Great Prince's face instantly darkened. I know he wants to keep Tieu Hoai Phong. Since the last time I heard the Crown Prince mention that Quy Lai Hotel is the Great Prince's property, I have suspected that there is interaction between them. Therefore, the First Prince definitely knew about Nhan Ngoc Nhi leaving the palace. As for any transactions between them, only Nhan Ngoc Nhi can be found. Even more so, is Nhan Ngoc Nhi's death in her previous life related to the Great Prince? At that moment, the Crown Prince's men ran to report: "Master Ninh discovered something unusual in the suburbs, and has now led soldiers there to investigate." Combined with the previous incident on the outskirts of Kinh Son citadel when bandits appeared and rioted, Tieu Hoai Phong ignored the Great Prince's resistance and directly led his people straight towards the outskirts of the citadel.
