Chapter 882 Entering the water
Zi'er also jumped in immediately, but apart from seeing a few koi swimming around, there was no sign of the little cat.
She held her breath and searched underwater for a long time, but still couldn't find it.
She had no choice but to quickly go to the surface to breathe, and ordered someone to quickly inform Lin Yiwan that the little cat had fallen into the water and was missing.
She blamed herself a lot at this moment, but she also understood that she had to find little Miaomiao before she could apologize.
She sank back into the water to continue searching, and nearly suffocated herself several times.
The Zhan Yan couple, who had received the news, arrived, and Emperor Sheng An immediately arranged for Li Youde to lead people into the water to search for the person.
However, no matter how they searched every corner, they could not find any trace of Little Meow Meow. It was as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth, disappearing without a trace.
Zi'er was shivering from the cold, but she gritted her teeth and knelt on the ground in panic, saying, "It was my fault for failing to protect the young lady. I am willing to die as an apology!"
Lin Yiwan's eyes were filled with murderous intent. How could she have fallen into the water just after she'd left Little Miaomiao for a moment? Who had the audacity to kidnap someone in the palace?
She subconsciously looked at Emperor Sheng An: "Your Majesty, this is your palace!"
Emperor Sheng An was furious: "Lin Yiwan, what do you mean? Little Miaomiao is missing, and I am more worried than anyone else, but I absolutely cannot harm her, so don't make random suspicions!"
Lin Yiwan also knew that she couldn't be anxious, but she couldn't help it.
Little Meow Meow is her life, she must not let her get hurt!
She gritted her teeth and roared, "Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and tell them to cast a net and search. Even if they have to dig three feet deep, they will find her!"
Emperor Sheng An didn't dare to get angry anymore and the most important thing was to find someone first.
Soon Li Youde found a big net and ordered his men to pull it and search every inch of the lotus pond.
However, there were big fish and even a few old rotten corpses caught, but still no little cat.
Until a flash of bright red suddenly appeared in the fishing net, which immediately caught Lin Yiwan's attention.
She immediately said, "It's the pearl flower that Little Meow Meow was carrying. Where did you find it?"
Zhan Yan asked for the exact location and dived down immediately.
When he dived into the waterway, he found signs that the gate there had been opened.
He peered out and quickly brought the men back to the surface.
Lin Yiwan rushed to him anxiously, "Ah Yan, what's going on? Have you found Miaomiao?"
Zhan Yan wiped the water off his face and said, "It must have been taken out of the palace through the waterway. The gate shows signs of being damaged!"
Emperor Sheng An was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately ordered: "Li Youde, order the people to close the city gates and search every house. No one is allowed to leave the capital!"
Lin Yiwan suddenly remembered something. Without hesitation, she hurried towards the palace of the Second Prince Xiao Yu.
Emperor Sheng An's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly urged Zhan Yan: "Zhan Yan, what are you standing there for? Go after her quickly, and don't let her implicate any innocent people!"
Zhan Yan couldn't help but frown: "Your Majesty, the Second Prince may not be truly innocent!"
Emperor Sheng An stamped his feet in anger: "You are going too far. He is only three years old. What can he do?"
Zhan Yan remained indifferent: "Whether it's done or not, we have to go and see!"
Lin Yiwan quickly arrived at Xiao Yu's palace and saw him lying on the soft couch, curled up in a small ball, not knowing whether he was asleep or awake.
The eunuch standing guard immediately stood up and saluted: "Madam, His Highness just went to bed not long ago. Do you have anything to do with him?"
Lin Yiwan frowned and asked, "Has your Highness ever gone out?"
The young eunuch shook his head. "His Highness knows he's not popular, so even though he longs for the banquet held in the Imperial Garden, he can only endure it. He even asked me to make a bowl of calming soup so he can sleep more deeply and stop having wild thoughts!"
Lin Yiwan frowned and looked at the medicine bowl beside her, and sure enough, she smelled the rich scent of tranquilizing grass.
She walked over to Xiao Yu and took his pulse, and found that his pulse was indeed stable and he was sleeping very soundly.
It seems that she guessed wrong, and Xiao Miaomiao’s disappearance had nothing to do with him.
Without further hesitation, she turned around and left quickly.
The young eunuch immediately knelt down and shouted, "Farewell, Madam Hou!"
She met Emperor Sheng An head-on, glanced up at him, then walked past him towards Zhan Yan.
She whispered, "The Second Prince is fast asleep. The eunuch said he hasn't left the palace. I guess a thief must have taken Miaomiao out of the palace through the entrance to the lotus pond!"
Zhan Yan nodded solemnly: "Okay, I'll take people to search both sides of the river. Don't worry, we will find little Miaomiao eventually!"
How could Lin Yiwan not be anxious? That was the baby she carefully protected.
Moreover, the little kitten is very delicate. He is afraid of the dark and hunger, and cannot bear the slightest bit of grievance.
Whenever something goes wrong, she will cry.
Now she didn't know how many gold beans she had lost, which made her extremely distressed.
She warned in a hoarse voice: "A Yan, you must search carefully and don't miss any clues. The sooner you find Xiao Miaomiao, the less suffering she will suffer!"
Zhan Yan soothed softly, "I understand!"
He left in a hurry and soon disappeared.
Lin Yiwan continued to order people to search in the palace, but found nothing.
As dusk approached, Xiao Yu gradually woke up.
He sat up in a daze, frowning for a moment before asking, "Xiao Chengzi, how long have I been sleeping? Is the banquet outside over?"
Xiao Chengzi quickly brought some warm water to his lips and said, "Your Highness, it's over long ago. Everyone in the Zhan Yi Marquis's residence has already left the palace, including Princess Youyi!"
Xiao Yu said calmly, "Sister Youyi has always been close to them. Now that sister Miaomiao is missing, she must be very worried!"
Xiao Chengzi spoke cautiously, "Your Highness, is it time to go to the mourning hall and burn incense for the Empress?"
Xiao Yu nodded, held Xiao Chengzi's wrist, and walked towards the mourning hall with small steps.
He met his elder brother Xiao Ling on the road. He was wearing a black brocade robe, which made his appearance look even more handsome.
Xiao Yu felt a little envious. If he had not been burned, he would surely be as handsome as his elder brother and be loved by his father and Aunt Wan.
He took the lead and saluted respectfully: "Younger brother greets elder brother!"
Xiao Ling frowned and looked at him: "Yu'er, do you know that sister Miaomiao is missing?"
Xiao Yu nodded. "I know. I fell asleep after drinking some tranquilizing soup. Xiao Chengzi waited for me to wake up and told me that Miaomiao had disappeared at the banquet. How is she now? Have you heard about her finding?"
Xiao Ling walked up to him, put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Yu'er, I know you blame Aunt Wan for Mother's death, but you have to understand her. She has her own difficulties. Mother and Father have come to this point today because of her stubbornness!"
