Minister Li Manor

Li Wei Wei's day passed by without doing anything. She feel so boring.

Spending all the time with ancient books and embroidery is a bit difficult.

So she plan on going to the city to watch some shadow play.

The sun shine so brightly force Li Wei Wei to wake up. Covering her yawning mouth she glance around her room looking for Qiqi.

Today Li Wei Wei is wearing a yellow hanfu with a whites drapes clothes. The colour suits the weather as today the sun shone so bright.

Leaving the manor, her mother has told her to take the carriage not to walk around like usual. She got no choice but to follow her mother instructions.

Li Wei Wei and Qiqi finally arrived at the ancient theatre. She didn't expect there are going to be a lot of people.

While watching it, she also saw some of them playing firecrackers. That game immediately got her attention and she forgot that she had left Qiqi at the theatre.

Watching it with a curious face she whisper,

"It is the same as the firework in modern world."

All of a sudden, the crowd begin to swarm around her. She tried to get out from there but suddenly a hand hold her waist.

Li Wei Wei was so shock that she tried to get rid that hands away from her. But when she look down there was a small knife next to her waist.

Afraid the men is going to do something worst she quickly said,

"I have money you can take everything. Please let me go"

But the culprit replied, "Sure but first let's get out of here."

Nodding her head so fast as she is so afraid. They finally at a quiet place. Li Wei Wei try to be brave and turn around to see that person.

But before she could do so that person hit her in the back made her faint, unconscious.

Chang An City

The extremely anxious Qiqi crying after she found out her miss was nowhere in sight.

She run around the theatre trying to find her miss. Asking the people nearby was no use. These events left her on the verge of having a breakdown.

Left with no choice, Qiqi sprint back to the Minister Li Manor.

"What?! How did she went missing! Have you look around?!"

Madam Li was about faint hearing this matter but she tried to maintan calm.

Qiqi then explain to her about every details that she knows.

"Someone this instant tell Minister Li to come back right now! Tell him about the incident secretly! QUICKLY GO!"

Madam Li is about to lose her patience. Her daughter went missing. How could she calm down?

The Palace's Court

Just like their usual day, the officials will have discussion about the country with the ruler.

Every one of them giving their own opinion. While the emperor will consider everything before he passes a decree.

Feng Xujin is also there. He is considered one of the most important official as he hold the military power. His relationship with the emperor is also good. They respect each other.

In the middle of the discussion, an eunuch in a green robes rushing in the court. He quickly bow down.

"This servant does not mean to interrupt but one of the officials wife got something important to tell him. It is emergency."

Hearing this, the emperor forgive him and replied,

"Who is the official? Quickly tell him to go back. Maybe it is a very important matter."

The eunuch thank the emperor for his generosity and accidentally tell His Majesty the truth due to nervousness.

"It was Minister Li. His daughter went missing in the middle of the capital. Madam Li currently waiting for his presence."

The stoned-faced might look like nothing wrong but his heart fill with some unexplainable emotions.

"Your Majesty this servant will leave first. Thank you for your generosity."
Without any delay Minister Li take his leave.

"Poor that girl. Is she lost her way or otherwise?" The emperor whispered to himself. It didn't escape Feng Xujin's ear.

"Your Majesty, this general will take his leave first. Anything else please inform the eunuch to tell me later."

Feng Xujin immediately leave. He didn't even wait for His Majesty permission.

Riding his horse in a hurry, Feng Xujin stop abruptly in front of his manor and his loud and stern can be heard.

"Shadow guard search for Li Wei Wei and tell me her whereabouts as soon as possible."

The shadow guard disappeared in an instant.
