Chapter 4 Catching Something

Qin Yiyuan glanced sideways at Yuan Ying.

In her previous life, she could detect the surrounding energy flux through her senses.

After waking up from this world, although her spiritual energy had disappeared, she still kept this ability. Besides, she gradually found that there were some differences in the energy flux from everyone.

After several comparisons, she realized that this difference should be related to the depth of each person's spiritual energy and internal force.

The fluctuation of spiritual energy was pure and calm, just like the circles of ripples spreading on the surface of the water, while the fluctuation of internal force was majestic and powerful, with an overbearing momentum, just like the air vibration caused by the explosion of a nuclear bomb.

After thinking for a moment and thinking of the great disparity in strength between her and them, Qin Yiyuan chose to compromise temporarily.

Qin Yiyuan looked at the masked man and said, "Well, what do you want to talk about? I shouldn't have interrupted you last night, but I saved you in the end. Don't you remember?"

Li Moxing glanced at her indifferently and said, "I can forgive you for what happened last night, but you can't tell anyone about my qi deviation."

Qin Yiyuan rolled her eyes.

"Does this mean that I have something on him?"

However, on second thought, she thought of something else. She looked at Li Moxing seriously and said, "I can keep your qi deviation a secret for you, but you know who took my baby away that night, right?"

It was really too dark that night. She didn't see the man's face clearly, and she couldn't remember the characteristics of his energy because she was too weak.

But she remembered that after the baby was taken away, she fainted in anger. "Was this man and his men so kind that they went there specially to save her?" wondered Qin Yiyuan.

Li Moxing changed his gaze and looked out of the window. "I didn't see any baby, but I happened to pass by a mass grave that night and saw you lying on the ground, so I ordered someone to save you."

Qin Yiyuan looked at him in disbelief, "Is that so?"

"Do you dare to question the king?!"

As soon as Qin Yiyuan finished speaking, Yuan Ying took a step forward and stood in front of her.

At this time, Qin Yiyuan could roughly guess the identity of Li Moxing.

It was said that Li Moxing, the second prince of Ming Country, had been disfigured in a big fire last year. Since then, he had been wearing a mask and rarely showed up in public.

Judging from the observation of the mansion last night and the way his subordinates addressed him, the man in front of her must be King Ling, Li Moxing.

Since he was King Ling, there was indeed no need to take her baby away.

King Ling and King Rong were both legitimate sons of the Empress. The relationship between them was harmonious although his appearance was damaged. Besides, in the past two years, King Ling had been helping King Rong win over the support of the court officials. There was no reason for him to go against King Rong.

Thinking it through, Qin Yiyuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Since it was not King Ling who had done it, then who had stolen her baby? Could it be someone working for King Rong?

"Got it. I won't tell anyone about your qi deviation. Then we'll call it even."

Hearing that she agreed so readily, Li Moxing nodded, "I heard that those from King Rong's Manor are looking for you. If there's nothing else, you'd better go back quickly. I won't tell anyone about what happened in the past two days."

Qin Yiyuan was stunned and looked at him meaningfully. She felt that this man was not easy to handle.

Li Moxing and King Rong were blood brothers, but he had promised to help her conceal this matter. Could it be that he had another motive?

"Your Highness, if I'm not mistaken, you and King Rong are blood brothers, right? Why didn't you send me back to King Rong's Manor when you saw me at the mass grave that day?"

Li Moxing narrowed his eyes and looked at her, "Do you want me to send you back King Rong's Manor that night?"

"Does this woman really think that Li Wenyuan cared about her?" doubted Li Moxing.

Hearing his question, Qin Yiyuan shook her head subconsciously, "Not really."

At this point, she wanted nothing more than to kill King Rong and Qin Sitong with her own hands. How could she possibly want to return to the King Rong's Manor?

With this thought in mind, Qin Yiyuan decisively turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

It was not until her footsteps disappeared from the outside that Yuan Ying said to Li Moxing, " Your Excellency, are you really going to let her go like this?"

He couldn't let anyone know Li Moxing's Qi deviation. Otherwise, the past year's efforts would be wasted.

Li Moxing's eyes changed, and he said calmly, "She probably doesn't know the real reason for my Qi deviation. She just thinks that it was caused by her interrupting my cultivation. Let's wait and see."

On the other side, Qin Yiyuan walked aimlessly out of Prince Rong's Mansion.

At present, what she was most worried about was her baby. She wondered, "Who is the one who took him away that night?"

Perhaps she should go back to the mass grave to see if she could find any clues.

Thinking of this, Qin Yiyuan felt that the scenery in front of her was a little familiar. When she came to her senses, she found that she had walked near the King Rong's Manor according to the original owner's memory.

Her eyes gradually turned cold. Thinking of the despair and unwillingness of the original owner, who had been drowned to death, she stared at the gate of the manor with heavy eyes for a while.

Compared to King Ling's Manor, King Rong's Manor looked even more luxurious and grand.

The vermilion gate was covered with glazed golden tiles on the top, and the walls glowed with white light. Occasionally, one or two branches would extend out from the walls, casting mottled shadows on the walls.

Qin Yiyuan glanced at an empty corner, walked over to the wall, closed her eyes, and silently chanted an incantation.

A magical thing happened again. A stream of spiritual energy from nowhere flowed from the bracelet to her palm, helping her activate the spell.

When she opened her eyes again, she was already in the backyard of King Rong's Manor.

It was noon, and everyone in the manor seemed to be busy.

When Qin Yiyuan passed through the wall and came in, a maid happened to come out of the woodshed with a dustpan. When she saw Qin Yiyuan coming out of the wall, her eyes suddenly widened.

When she recognized who it was, she rolled her eyes and fell to the ground unconsciously.

Qin Yiyuan raised the corner of her mouth and smiled.

It seemed that everyone in King Rong's Manor knew what had happened to her before. Otherwise, they would not have reacted like this when they saw her.

She strolled through the backyard and went straight to the room where the original owner lived.

In her dream, Qin Yiyuan saw that the original owner had prepared a lot of clothes for the unborn child. When the baby was found, those things would be useful.

While she was thinking, a maid suddenly came in from the full-moon-shaped gate in front of her. When she saw Qin Yiyuan coming from a distance, she was immediately stunned and then ran quickly to Qin Yiyuan.

"Your Highness, where have you been the past two days? I am so worried about you."

Qin Yiyuan saw her face clearly and knew that this maid was the original owner's personal maid, Xiao Cha.

In the memory of the original owner, Xiao Cha was extremely loyal to her. On the day of her death, Xiao Cha was sent away by Qin Sitong, so she didn't appear.

However, Qin Yiyuan would not trust anyone so easily. She had to verify whether Xiao Cha was truly loyal to her or not.

As this thought flashed through her mind, Xiao Cha had already run up to Qin Yiyuan and looked her up and down anxiously.

"Your Highness, what did you and Ms. Qin do in the back garden of Qin's Manor that day? Why did you fall into the lake? We searched for you for a long time but couldn't find you. We thought you..."

As Xiao Cha spoke, the tears at the corners of her eyes rolled down, and she actually started crying.
