After being expelled from the palace, she returned with her cub and amazed the whole city

The two jumped over the palace wall and headed straight for the Princess's Mansion.

Lanterns were hung under the gatehouse of the Princess's Mansion, and the soft light reflected the vermilion door, which was still majestic.

Xiang Song glanced at the gatehouse but didn't go up to knock on the door.

Xiao Jingzhao glanced around and quickly ran back along the high wall.

The two of them passed the front hall, jumped, and both jumped over the wall.

The courtyard was silent, and the yellow chrysanthemum lanterns under the corridor were all replaced with red lanterns used by ordinary people. The night wind blew and the shadows of the lights swayed.

The courtyard was too quiet, and people felt a weird atmosphere.

Xiang Song's eyes were like torches, and he retracted his gaze and asked: "Master, where should we start looking?"

"There are countless houses in the huge Princess's Mansion, and there may be underground secret rooms. There is no need to look for them one by one. No one else in the capital will attack Changle and Suisui. Hit the snake at its weakest point and find Song Yunzhi directly." Xiao Jingzhao's eyes were cold and cold, and he flew to the backyard.

The princess's mansion used to have more than a hundred servants and countless guards, which is a far cry from the bleak scene now.

The two came to the main courtyard, and more than a dozen guards rushed up with swords drawn.

"Who! Breaking into a private house at night, what do you want to do?"

Xiao Jingzhao moved his feet and dodged the sword that was swung at him. With a flash of cold light, the sword in his hand was placed on the guard's neck.

He shouted sternly: "Speak! Where is Song Yunzhi?"

The leading guard felt a slight chill on his neck. He wanted to resist again, but when he looked closely, he found that the person who came was wearing a bright yellow robe.

"Your Majesty, I don't know."

"Ah!"

A stinging feeling came, and a bloody smell spread in the air.

"Your Majesty, I... I really don't know."

The rest of the guards dropped their swords and knelt down when they saw that it was the emperor, saying tremblingly: "Your Majesty!"

Xiang Song pointed his sword at the kneeling guards, "If you want to live, tell the truth, otherwise don't blame me for being too cruel."

Seeing that the leader was grimacing in pain but still said he didn't know.

A guard kneeling on the ground said: "Madam ordered us to guard the main courtyard. She went to the small Buddhist temple in the mansion yesterday and hasn't come out yet."

Xiao Jingzhao put away his sword and said coldly: "Lead the way!"

The leading guard dodged his eyes, covered his neck and bowed, "The small Buddhist temple is in the east wing, Your Majesty, please follow me."

When he arrived outside the small Buddhist temple, a smell of incense and candles hit him in the face.

The door of the small Buddhist temple was closed, and the lights were bright inside.

A sound of breaking air came, and several dark shadows floated down from the darkness, "Your Majesty, people are inside, and they haven't come out all day."

The dark guards who appeared were monitoring Song Yunzhi.

"Go in."

"Master, please stay. I'm afraid there's a trick. I'll go check it out first."

Xiang Song gave a look, and the other secret guards all protected the emperor.

Xiao Jingzhao had been extremely anxious for a long time. He clenched his fists, stepped forward quickly and kicked the door open.

"Bang!"

"Ah!"

A woman screamed in the room, and Xiang Song quickly followed in.

The emperor pointed his sword at a woman who had collapsed on the futon.

The woman was dressed in plain clothes, and her figure was 80% similar to Song Yunzhi.

She had the same bun as Song Yunzhi and wore Song Yunzhi's dress. From the back, there was no flaw at all. No wonder the secret guards didn't notice it.

The woman's body was shaking like a sieve, and she kept begging, "Your Majesty, spare me. Madam asked me to change clothes with her. She asked me to stay in the Buddhist hall. I dare not disobey!"

After a pounce, Xiao Jingzhao's teeth were "clacking".

Xiang Song asked persistently, "Do you know where your wife has gone?"

The maid was lying on the ground, shaking her head with tears in her eyes.

The emperor's sword was pointing at her forehead. If he pushed forward any further, she would be covered in blood.

Xiao Jingzhao knew that Song Yunzhi would not tell a maid about the plan to kidnap Changle and Suisui. Even if he killed the woman in front of him, he would not get the information he wanted.

He raised his right hand slightly and sheathed the sword, "Hmph! You are trying to escape from me. I will dig her out even if I have to dig three feet deep."

After leaving the Buddhist temple, Xiang Song was worried. Where could he find someone in such a big capital?

Only a small number of guards and maids were left in the mansion, which showed that Song Yunzhi had sent out a lot of people.

After leaving the princess's mansion, Xiang Yang and the Jinyiwei rushed over.

"Your Majesty, the people of Jingzhao Yin are searching the inn, but they haven't received any news yet."

Xiao Jingzhao was extremely anxious. He was not only worried about the safety of Changle and Suisui, but also about the disappearance of his son. He couldn't imagine how anxious Jiang Shuyue must be.

"Xiangyang, take your people to continue the investigation, and don't let go of any empty houses."

Xiao Jingzhao thought that Song Yunzhi had colluded with the Qingyi Sect. Jianghu people were best at avoiding people's eyes and ears, so it was unlikely that they could find any clues from the inn.

Xiangyang took the order and left.

Xiao Jingzhao waved his hand, "Go to Jiang Mansion."

Jiang Shuyue chased for a long distance in a hurry until there was a hurried sound of horse hooves in front.

Qiuju saw that it was Gao Mu, and she hurriedly asked: "Why did you come back? Why didn't you chase?"

"There is a carriage abandoned in the middle of the road ahead, and there is no one in the car. I came back to report to the lady that the other party had planned it."

Gao Mu was puzzled as to where the other party would hide the person if he couldn't leave the city at this time.

Jiang Shuyue had an idea, "We can't just look around. There's medicine powder in Suisui's trouser pocket. Go and notify the people in the government office to keep an eye on each drugstore. Tell them that anyone who comes to buy antidote medicine may be a suspect."

"I'll go right away."

Gao Mu galloped away on his horse and soon disappeared into the night.

Qiu Ju quickly supported Jiang Shuyue who was about to fall, "Fortunately, the young lady told me to sew a pocket for each pair of pants for the young master. I don't know if the kidnappers will search him."

Jiang Shuyue took a deep breath to calm herself down, "It's hard to say. I'm afraid that the other party will tie his hands and feet, and it's useless even if he has medicine powder in his pocket."

"Miss, this place is not far from Huanhua Street. Let's go to Lin Miaoshou for advice."

The moon passed through a thick layer of clouds, and the surroundings suddenly darkened.

There was a sound of barking dogs. Jiang Shuyue looked into the distance and saw someone holding a torch knocking on the door and searching from house to house.

"Let's talk about it when we go back. Uncle Lin will definitely come to Jiang's house when he knows."

The people of Jingzhao Yin have already taken action. The emperor will definitely send Jinyiwei and Anwei.

As soon as the two of them walked to the entrance of Guixiang Street, Nangong Zeyue came running.

Seeing Jiang Shuyue, in a hurry, he forgot the distinction between men and women.

He stepped forward and held Jiang Shuyue's arm and asked anxiously: "Yue Niang, do you know who kidnapped Sui Sui? Is the other party trying to extort money or something?"

Jiang Shuyue, who was trying to remain calm, saw Nangong Zeyue, and her eyes were blurred with tears. She shook her head, "Not sure, maybe the kidnappers are not coming for Sui Sui."

Nangong Zeyue wanted to kill someone at this time. He suppressed his emotions and said: "I will send you back to the mansion first. The kidnappers are looking for money and will definitely send news to the Jiang Mansion. You just wait at home and I will go out to look for it."

There are senior brothers who have been in the capital for many years and have come into contact with all kinds of people. Asking them to inquire about the news may be faster than the government.

...

"Hiss... It hurts!"

Changle slowly opened his eyes, surrounded by darkness, and his neck was slightly painful.

Where am I?

What happened?
