Chapter 356 Did the Crown Prince steal the Snow Lotus?

We've only seen a little bit of effect?

This doesn't seem like a difficult task.

Hearing Xiao Wang's explanation, Zi Xing's anger subsided, and then she looked at Xiao Wang and nodded.

"Alright, then seven days it will be. I will show Your Highness the effect you want to see."

So, Zixing was kept behind.

On the other side.

The news that all the members of the second branch of the Su family had died tragically quickly reached Gao Changhong and his group.

"Father, the entire second branch of the Su family is really dead, and they died so tragically! This Crown Princess is too cunning. I thought she was going to be in big trouble this time, but I didn't expect things to turn out this way."

Inside the hall, Gao Yufei was telling Gao Changhong about the Su family in surprise.

Gao Changhong was not much affected when he heard about the tragic death of the second branch of the Su family. He was just glad that Jiang Ruan was not affected.

He had already wronged her when he was young, and now he didn't want her to be humiliated even after she died. Even if he disliked her daughter with another man, he wouldn't use this to harm Su Liluo.

Besides, he has no time to care about the affairs of the second branch of the Su family. His biggest headache right now is that he can't find the Snow Lotus.

Gao Junning has been locked up in jail for a month or two already; this can't go on any longer.

So, he said to Gao Yufei in a bad mood, "Let's not worry about other things, let's think more about how to find the Snow Lotus to rescue your brother!"

"Once we rescue Junning, we'll immediately bid farewell to the Emperor of Liang. Then we'll figure out a way to secretly take the Crown Princess with us!"

"Father---"

Gao Yufei heard her father's tone was not very friendly and called out in a coquettish tone, but suddenly her eyes lit up, as if she had figured something out.

She opened her big eyes and looked at Gao Changhong slyly, "Father, do you think the Snow Lotus has been stolen by the Crown Princess and the others after we've been searching for so long?"

After all, this imperial city is their territory. If they want to do something here, it should be very easy for them! And I also know that the Crown Princess is skilled in medicine. Could it be that she secretly drugged Father and then stole him from his room?

"!!!"

Gao Changhong was immediately stunned by Gao Yufei's words.

yes!

Could it be that the Crown Princess stole it?

At the time, I always thought that the Emperor of Liang had ill intentions and secretly stole it. Isn't it because he has great power and is the most powerful person in the capital?

However, it was later discovered that he was not the Emperor of Liang, but besides him, the only one with the highest power and status was the Crown Prince.

Besides, Feifei is right. This Crown Princess does know medicine. Maybe he really did drug her and then stole her while she was unconscious.

He remembered the day he lost the Snow Lotus; it was indeed the day he got drunk and went crazy while holding the Snow Lotus. Afterwards, when he asked the guards, they didn't remember anything either.

This shows that they must have been drugged, which is why they forgot.

After this analysis, it turns out that the Crown Princess and her group really had the ability and motive to steal his Snow Lotus!

"Feifei, you're right. Right now, it's most likely that the Crown Princess and the others are still the ones!"

Gao Changhong stood up from the stool in a fit of anger and agitation, slamming the teacups on the table to the ground with his rude movements.

"Then Father, you must quickly send someone to the Crown Prince's residence to retrieve the Snow Lotus! That way we can rescue Brother and return to the Northern Desert! Brother has lost a lot of weight in the prison these past few days; he's not eating or sleeping well, it's so pitiful!"

"Don't worry, I'll make the arrangements right away!"

Gao Changhong narrowed his eyes dangerously.

He blamed himself for being so foolish; he had taken so long to figure out such a simple thing before his daughter pointed it out. He should have guessed long ago that the Snow Lotus had been stolen by them!

So, that very night, Gao Changhong led a group of elite guards and personally infiltrated the Crown Prince's residence.

"Luo'er, this is their retribution, you don't need to think too much about it."

Inside a pavilion in the Crown Prince's residence, the cool moonlight refracted through the lake, creating shimmering waves. Combined with the candlelight on the table, the pavilion appeared to be in the late afternoon, but in reality, it was already late at night.

Su Liluo and Xiao Ye sat in the pavilion, chatting over a pot of sake, some pastries and melon seeds.

The entire second branch of the Su family died these past two days, which can be considered as her great revenge being fulfilled, so Su Liluo's mood was somewhat different.

Xiao Ye was afraid that she would feel pressured by the thought of too many lives on her mind, so he comforted her in this way.

"Of course it's their retribution, my husband. You don't think I'd be sad about their deaths, do you?"

Seeing Xiao Ye comforting her, Su Liluo couldn't help but smile and look at her.

Then, she reached out her fair little hand and gently placed it on his hand.

She looked at him with deep affection and said, "I'm just so happy that I can finally see them all get their comeuppance. For the rest of my life, you are the only person I care about the most."

"Luo'er..."

Hearing Su Liluo's sincere confession, Xiao Ye felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He looked at Su Liluo in a hoarse voice, not knowing what to say, and could only look back at her with the same affectionate gaze.

But just then, his left ear twitched slightly.

"Oh no, someone's there."

Xiao Ye snapped out of his emotional state and regained his composure, then whispered a warning.

Having practiced martial arts for many years, he possessed exceptional internal strength, making him extremely sensitive to even the slightest movement or trace.

"Shh!"

Su Liluo put her finger to her lips, gestured for Xiao Ye to be quiet, then winked at him before the two quietly left the pavilion.

Gao Changhong was not familiar with the Crown Prince's residence, but based on his guess, he felt that something as precious as the Snow Lotus would definitely not be kept in the storeroom, but rather kept by his side.

So he quickly threatened to kill several servants and found the house where Xiao Ye and Su Liluo were staying.

He first searched the entire house, emptying all the drawers and cabinets, but still found nothing.

"Where is it? Why isn't there even a locked box in their house? Is it not here?"

Gao Changhong couldn't help but feel puzzled.

He stood in the room for a while, thinking, before realizing that he might have given it to someone in the study.

Men often prefer to keep secrets and discuss matters in their study.

So he went to the study instead.

Su Liluo and the others did not go directly back to their own rooms, but instead went to the study early on to wait for them.

Because there wasn't anything in their house that would make it so difficult to steal, except for some important items in the study.

As soon as Gao Changhong sneaked into the study, he met Xiao Ye and the others in the darkness.

He immediately realized the danger and turned to run away.
