"Apothecary, look. Mu 'er knocked out the guards in this sleeping chamber and then escaped!”
"No, he might not escape. The Second Prince was able to hide in the heavily guarded Imperial Palace for an entire day, which shows that he is an extremely intelligent person! He might not leave this place immediately!"
In Li Mu's bedroom, Li Shiming frowned slightly and looked at Li Jing. He didn't quite understand what Li Jing meant, so he asked again.
"Then what do you mean, Apothecary?"
"Haha!"
Li Jing smiled and didn't answer Li Shiming's question. Instead, he walked around the bedroom. After seeing the bed, he carefully observed it. Then, he lay on the floor and looked under the bed.
Finally, Li Jing stood up again. His eyes flickered with wisdom as he spoke.
"As expected, the Second Prince is really a smart person!”
"Uh, Apothecary, can you speak more clearly?”
Li Shimin didn't understand what Li Jing meant. He said impatiently,"I'm here to find my son, not for you to praise him!"
"Your Majesty, in addition to luring the tiger away from the mountain, the Second Prince also used a secret strategy!”
Li Jing bowed to Li Shi Min and replied.
"What?!"
Li Shi Min was a smart guy, so he immediately understood what Li Jing meant. He quickly laid on the ground and looked under the bed.
Then, he stood up and revealed a bitter smile.
"I really didn't expect Mu 'er to be so bold. After knocking out the guards, not only did he not run, he even hid here!”
"Hahaha, Your Majesty, this is where the Second Prince is smart. He has just arrived in the Imperial Palace and is not familiar with this area. If he runs out blindly, he will only be caught. It is better to hide here. As the saying goes, it is dark under the light.”
At this moment, Li Jing did not have those little emotions. Instead, he was interested in Li Mu. He had been lonely for too long on the battlefield. Now, a smart kid suddenly appeared to compete with him in wits and courage. How fun was this!
"Then where do you think Mu 'er is hiding now?”
"Hmm, with the intelligence that the second prince has shown, he definitely won't hide here. However, we still have to search carefully. We haven't found any traces of the second prince for a day. If he really hasn't left the palace, then the second prince definitely needs to eat something!”
Li Jing frowned and thought from Li Mu's point of view. If he were Li Mu, how would he escape from this palace? He also told him everything!
"Yes! Mu 'er definitely wanted to eat something! Then there was only the imperial kitchen! Let's go to the imperial kitchen! He left a team of people to search carefully! The rest of you, follow me to the imperial kitchen!"
Li Shiming clapped his hands and said excitedly. Logically speaking, Li Mu definitely wanted to eat, but it was impossible for him to steal food at mealtimes. Therefore, he could only go to the imperial kitchen to steal food!
Thinking of this, Li Shi Min excitedly led a group of people and charged towards the imperial kitchen. Li Jing also followed silently behind, hoping that the Second Prince would not be caught in the imperial kitchen. It was not easy to have some fun, so he had to hide for a long time!
...
A moment later, Li Shi Min led a large group of people to the imperial kitchen. This gave everyone in the imperial kitchen a fright. The Emperor had suddenly come personally. Could it be that the dishes today were too unpalatable?
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The chefs of the imperial kitchen hurriedly bowed to Li Shiming and said respectfully.
However, Li Shi Min didn't pay any attention to them. Instead, he waved his hand and shouted at the guards behind him.
"Search!"
"Has anyone stolen the food recently?"
Li Jing walked towards the royal chefs and asked with a gentle expression.
"Uh, this despicable person definitely wouldn't dare!”
"That's right, that's right. Even if I had the guts, I wouldn't dare to steal food!”
"I'm innocent!"
These words gave everyone in the imperial kitchen a fright. All of them knelt down and hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Ahem, what I mean is, are there any meals missing? Or is there a stranger who you have never seen before? Think carefully! If anyone lied, he would definitely be killed!”
Li Jing coughed. He knew that this group of people had misunderstood. At this moment, he opened his mouth to explain again. As he spoke, he emitted a domineering aura that directly intimidated everyone.
Li Jing's words made everyone in the imperial kitchen think carefully. This was a matter of great importance to their family, so they had to think carefully!
"Your Majesty, we didn't search anything!”
At this time, the guards returned and said to Li Shiming.
"Humph!"
Li Shi Min snorted coldly, waved his hand and did not say anything. He turned to look at Li Jing, wanting to hear what Li Jing thought!
Li Jing looked at the people in the imperial kitchen who were thinking, waiting for their answer.
"Uh, no food has been lost recently!”
"Yes, even the buns and pastries are all there!”
"There don't seem to be any strangers either!"
"I think so. I wonder if he counts?”
The others all spoke up, but a fat chef was a little hesitant and confused, which immediately attracted Li Shi Min's attention.
"You! Get up and talk! Who is it?"
Li Shi Min looked at the fat chef and asked anxiously.
"This lowly one is Chen Qi. Yesterday evening, a young eunuch came over. He said that he wanted the imperial food to be prepared faster. The nobles in the palace were anxious from waiting. After which, he tasted our cooking. At night, that young eunuch came again…"
Chen Qi also told him everything in detail, not daring to hide anything.
"Yes, that young eunuch is called Little Mu, and he said that he is a favorite of His Majesty!”
"I remember now too. I was a little puzzled at first. I've never seen this father-in-law before!”
Everyone chimed in.
"Heh, Little Mu, that must be Mu 'er. Apothecary, what do you think?”
Li Shiming sneered. This must be Li Mu. Needless to say, they only knew that Li Mu had come to the imperial kitchen for a meal. They still hadn't caught him!
"Your Majesty, the Second Prince is bold but meticulous. He is really smart. He is definitely not in the imperial kitchen now. We only need to gather the eunuchs in the palace and ask them to find out who lost the clothes and where they lost them. Then, we can ask if anyone has seen the Second Prince.”
Li Jing's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise him. He was also a little impressed in his heart. He had openly come to the imperial kitchen to steal food. This was a real show. Ordinary people really couldn't find out!
"Men, gather all the eunuchs in the palace!”
Li Shi Min strode out of the imperial kitchen and ordered.
...
On the other side, in the royal study, Li Mu was wearing the clothes of a eunuch. He was looking around alone with his head raised, and he could not help but click his tongue.
