Chapter 569 The General Was Rescued (44)
When Luo Yue said the name of the jewelry store, Huo Yuan roughly understood the trick.
It is not an ordinary jewelry shop at all; it is clearly a place for collecting beauties for the prince.
When he thought of this, Huo Yuan couldn't help but frown, and a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
"How long has Doctor Xue been missing?" Huo Yuan asked the person next to him anxiously, covering his head with his hands.
Luo Yue, who was standing aside, turned pale as paper in an instant when he heard Huo Yuan's urgent question.
Her body began to tremble uncontrollably, and her lips trembled as she spoke, "I don't know... I haven't calculated the exact time, but at least two hours have passed since we entered the shop."
Hearing this, Huo Yuan's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
He no longer cared about the medicine he had just taken. Without saying a word, he immediately put on an outer coat and hurried towards the villas frequented by the prince.
Although Chen Jiyao was lustful by nature, he was usually cautious in his actions and would not normally do such absurd things in his own Prince's Mansion.
However, at this moment Huo Yuan no longer cared about whether it was offensive or not. He was only thinking about finding the missing Xue Asi as soon as possible.
Huo Yuan, along with a group of his men, visited the three princes' residences one after another.
But every time I go there full of hope, but return with disappointment.
Huo Yuan felt even heavier as he still couldn't find any trace of Xue Asi.
In desperation, they had to change direction and rush to the Prince's Mansion.
They were about to reach their destination, but as soon as they reached the door, they were stopped by the guards guarding the door.
"General Huo, how are you?" A familiar voice came. It turned out to be someone close to Huo Yuan's sister, the prince's concubine Huo Chengle.
The man smiled kindly and waited for him at the door with his head bowed.
"Get out of the way. I want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Huo Yuan shouted.
But the man was too bold to give in, and took another step forward: "General Huo, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has brought the person back to the Crown Prince's Mansion, it means he is serious about it. Moreover, he has been here for a long time. If he wanted to accomplish something, he would have done it long ago. Would he still wait for you to come?"
"What do you mean?" Although Huo Yuan understood what the other party meant, he still couldn't believe it.
"General Huo, please come with me! The Concubine hasn't seen you for some time. Come with me to discuss countermeasures." The eunuch still had a smile on his face, but his tone was a little cold.
Huo Yuan asked his men to stay outside the Prince's Mansion and went in alone.
On his way to Huo Chengle's courtyard, he happened to see the Crown Princess Tao Nanmo passing by. There was no expression on her face as usual, but he could feel that the look in Tao Nanmo's eyes when she "inadvertently" looked at him was filled with deep hatred.
But he didn't care. Since he chose this path, there were so many people who hated him. He wouldn't care about an unpopular princess.
When he woke up in the middle of the night, there were wronged spirits seeking his life, but when the morning came, he was the great general of the Xia Kingdom.
His nephew is the prince's only son!
"Second brother, you're here!" Huo Chengle asked someone to pour Huo Yuan a cup of tea, "Sit down! I know who you want to see, but listen to my advice, His Highness is in a good mood right now! If you go now, you will only ruin his good fortune!"
A few years ago, Huo Chengle might have been jealous of the new person around the prince, but seeing that the prince had been struggling for several years and had not given birth to other children, she no longer worried about it. After all, her son was the only grandson of the emperor.
"The person this time is different. She is a doctor, and Xue A Si has a hot temper. I am afraid she will hurt His Highness." Huo Yuan explained the matter from a different angle, "Besides, she has done us a favor regarding the matter in Jicheng! I can't..."
Huo Chengle raised his hand and said, "When people enter the house, they are all unconscious. The drug is too strong. I think she is not awake yet! When she wakes up, it will probably be tomorrow morning."
Huo Yuan looked at his sister who used to cry about this matter. He sighed and said, "Xiao Le, you should persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to act so absurdly again."
"I would like to, but I don't dare!" Huo Chengle laughed bitterly, "He has done this more than once or twice. With my temper, how can I swallow my anger for no reason?"
With a sigh, she lifted up a section of her sleeves and said, "I never thought that the gentleman who was so polite and courteous when I first met him would be a scumbag now."
Huo Yuan knew that Chen Jiyao had abused his servants, but he had never thought that he would even beat his own sister: "Your injury?"
"I'm just showing you, second brother. The crown prince is no longer the third prince we once knew. You must be more careful in the future." After Huo Chengle finished speaking, he asked the people around him to send Huo Yuan out.
When Huo Yuan returned to the General's Mansion, facing Luo Yue's "expectant" eyes, he only replied: "Doctor Xue, let the prince stay, saying that the crown prince needs her care. I will go and ask for news in a few days."
