Chapter 729: Chapter 729: Disappearance (5) _1

"Master Lin, please calm down. I am not feeling well at the moment, which makes me a bit restless. When I get back, I will not forget your kindness." Eunuch Miao raises his voice as he speaks, his face switching from anger to a sycophantic smile.

If it were before, he might have doubted Lin Haisheng’s words, but now he believes what Lin Haisheng has said. Since his weakness is under the control of the prince, Eunuch Miao believes that there are also vulnerabilities in Lin Haisheng’s letters, complying with the prince’s demands.

Their secrets cannot be revealed to the emperor. In one way, they share common interests and stakes.

Lin Haisheng snorted coldly and walked away directly.

Eunuch Miao sighed repeatedly in his bed. After coming to the Northern Land, it seemed as if the whole world had changed. How much longer would he have to endure this kind of constant suppression?

"Stop." The funeral procession of the Li family was also stopped by the soldiers in black armor at the city gate.

"Prince Chu." Marquis Li saw this and immediately got close to Chu Suifeng.

"It’s just a routine check. It won’t take too long," Chu Suifeng declared coldly.

Marquis Li heard this and immediately stepped aside without a word.

The soldiers in black armor began to search the crowd accompanying the Li family’s funeral procession.

"Please step out of the carriage," A soldier in black armor ordered coldly to Li Yanran, who was inside the carriage.

"There’s so little space in this carriage. You could look for yourself. It’s cold outside; I don’t want to get out." Li Yanran boldly instructed her servant to lift the curtain of the carriage.

The soldier in black armor briefly inspected the carriage and found nothing suspicious. "Sorry for the inconvenience."

Then he moved on to inspect the next carriage.

Shortly after the women of the Li family left the courtyard, they all boarded the carriages. The arrival of the soldiers in black armor made them feel uncomfortable. But since the order came from Chu Suifeng, they all heard it and no one dared to express any dissatisfaction, even if they were unhappy.

"Let them go." After checking every horse, carriage, and wagon, the Li family was riding without finding anything suspicious, so the soldiers in black armor let them pass.

"I apologize for the inconvenience." Si Jinhan, the leader in East City, said to the marquis after the soldiers had completed their inspection.

Marquis Li knew the status of Si Jinhan in Chu Suifeng’s heart. Si Jinhan was showing courtesy towards him, but he dared not take the apology too seriously. "Third Son, you’re being too polite, I am aware of the responsibilities that lie with you."

Fortunately, the attitudes on both sides were very friendly.

"Depart." The carriages started to move again, and the mourning sounds accompanied by the chanting of Buddhist scriptures resumed.

The old lady’s grave was located on a hill five kilometers outside the East City, where her husband, the old marquis, was also buried.

Since the tomb was already prepared, the burial process was quick.

Watching the grave getting covered, Chu Suifeng became impatient and couldn’t wait any longer. "Let’s go."

Without waiting for Marquis Li and the others, he left with Congyi, Conger, and the rest on their horses.

Now that the main event was over, and Chu Suifeng had given all the necessary courtesies, there was nothing for Marquis Li to complain about.

"Mother, let me share the carriage with you." On the return journey, Li Yanran squeezed into Madam Mu’s carriage.

"Oh, when will you give your mother a break, so that I can completely relax?" Madam Mu knew Li Yanran’s thoughts too well. In such a unique situation today, her daughter’s gaze was always on Chu Suifeng. It’s a pity the prince is interested, but the Goddess is not. When would this silly girl understand?

Once Chu Suifeng returned to the Capital City, he tirelessly commanded searches with his soldiers in black armor.

Even though they mobilized all the soldiers in black armor, they still couldn’t find any trace of Lin Ziyin.
