She clutched her chest and got up and coughed twice: "You don't have martial ethics!"

The man in black ignored her and only focused on dealing with the Ninth Prince.

Xiao Jiu has not only been studying for so many years. He has royal blood, riding and archery are compulsory courses. Knowing that he will be in danger in the future, his mother-in-law and the emperor's sister have urged him to learn martial arts well.

Emperor Xuancheng only had this normal son left, so the masters he hired were all famous in the world.

These people are no match for Xiao Jiu.

He only took out the flute from his waist, brushed it a few times, and knocked down most of the men in black.

The maid hurriedly said: "No! Hurry up and take that girl away!"

Upon hearing this, the man in black immediately changed his attack, picked up Ruan Yingying and flew out of the yard.

Xiaojiu quickly followed.

The banquet here is about to start, Xiaojiu and Ruan Yingying are gone, but all the maids in the mansion say they have never seen these two people.

Meng Liu suddenly became anxious. If something happened to Ruan Yingying, there would be nothing to eat in the future!

He hurriedly ordered the guards in the mansion to look for him.

I searched back and forth several times, but there was no trace of it.

I don’t know if they were kidnapped or if there was something else going on. According to Xiaojiu’s strength, it logically shouldn’t be the case.

This matter must not be spread out now. I'm afraid that if it gets out, the concubine Shu's party will be unable to sit still!

No, we have to find Xiao Jiu quickly!

Gu Zhi had been an official for so many years and had his own spies in the capital. He asked Taosheng to investigate quickly, while he accompanied Meng Liu to tell her not to worry.

The banquet couldn't last any longer, so Meng Liu excused himself as feeling unwell and went back to the backyard.

"Princess, Prince Consort, we found it!" Taosheng walked over in a hurry.

Meng Liu didn't sleep all night and asked quickly: "What's going on?"

Taosheng said: "Yesterday at the banquet, Concubine Shu's men came and kidnapped the Ninth Prince and Miss Ruan!"

Meng Liu's eyes darkened: "What?!"

Gu Zhixing hurriedly supported her: "Can you find out where Concubine Shu's party kidnapped them?"

Taosheng shook his head: "Although Concubine Shu's party kidnapped the two of them, the Ninth Prince seems to have escaped with Miss Ruan, and I don't know where he is now."

"You kid, who taught you to break sentences like this? You can't finish it in one go."

Meng Liu was speechless. It would have been better if they were in Shu Fei's hands. With Xiao Jiu's skill, the two of them should be in no danger now.

Cuilian walked in quickly with an anxious look on her face: "The princess is not well, there are rumors outside that the Ninth Prince is missing! I heard that the Ninth Prince fell off a cliff!"

Meng Liu stood up in a hurry: "What's going on? Who passed it on?"

"I don't know, this slave. It's just that there are rumors outside that the emperor has summoned you to the palace."

It seemed that the matter could no longer be hidden, so Meng Liu had to change his clothes in a hurry and enter the palace to see him.

Emperor Xuancheng sat firmly on Mount Tai: "Xiao Jiu is really missing?"

Meng Liu didn't dare to lie. She had to rescue Xiao Jiu quickly. After that, she repeated what happened yesterday in detail. Emperor Xuancheng dropped a token: "Ask the consort to lead the imperial guards to find him."

Meng Liu picked up the token and said yes repeatedly, then sent his maid to say it to Concubine Rou, and hurriedly left the palace.

Gu Zhixing took the token without hesitation and immediately mounted his horse and set off.

Meng Liu wanted to go, but she had rested for two years and was recently pregnant with her third child. Although she had elementary fighting skills, they were not good enough compared to ancient martial arts.

For three whole days, there was no news from Xiaojiu and Ruan Yingying.

Everyone in the court, led by Concubine Shu's party, petitioned the Emperor to establish the crown prince. Now only the eldest prince and the third prince were left. Concubine De was dead. The eldest prince was a fool, but there was only the third prince.

Emperor Xuancheng read the memorial and still kept it in mind. He just didn't want to make Lao San the crown prince. A cripple couldn't be worthy of being an emperor. Besides, Xiao Jiu was good at skills, so he wouldn't necessarily be in danger.

Shu Fei and her party were secretly worried, but they had no choice.

"My dear, no, no, no, no, my mistress is dead!"

Concubine Shu and the third prince were shocked: "Who...who is dead?!"

The maid replied tremblingly: "My young master, he is dead..."

Concubine Shu closed her eyes and fainted. The third prince grabbed the maid's neck and said, "I clearly arranged for a master to protect him, how could he die!"

The maid's face turned purple after being pinched, and she stammered: "Slave...slave...I don't know."

Concubine Shu woke up when her personal maid called her: "Why did Chengyou die? Who did it?"

Now the reason why their party can compete for the position of prince is because of this grandson. He is only five years old. Who could do such a cruel thing!

What should I do? If the child dies, can they still fight for that position?

The third prince has gone crazy: "We have reached this point, and if we take a step back, we will be in danger of getting back. In this case, why not just give it a try?!"

Concubine Shu's eyes widened: "You...you want to...?"

After being shocked, Concubine Shu came to her senses. If she was forced into the palace, it would be easy to succeed. If not, her natal family would be punished by the Nine Clans! Moreover, even if he ascends the throne, the third child will not be able to have any more children.

There is no one to inherit this throne!

The third prince could tell what Concubine Shu was thinking with just one glance at her, but he was already obsessed with the throne and he couldn't do it until he got it!

"Didn't An Ning give birth to four children? You can adopt one of them to me!"

Concubine Shu's lips twitched twice. She wanted to say something, but could the Yongwu Marquis Mansion agree? Can An Ning agree? Don’t forget that you killed the prince back then!

But she didn't dare to say it because she was afraid of angering her son. The third prince was getting more and more scary now, and Concubine Shu was really afraid!

The only life-saving straw is her daughter.

Concubine Shu replied: "Then I will ask your sister to enter the palace."

The third prince strode away. He had to make some plans with his staff.

An Ning entered the palace. This time Concubine Shu asked her maid to search the palace carefully to confirm that the third prince was not here. She quickly said: "An Ning, you must save Concubine!"

An Ning raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

Concubine Shu lowered her voice: "You don't know that your brother's only son is dead, and now your brother wants to rebel!"

An Ning's eyes flashed: "What does the concubine want me to do?"

Concubine Shu said impatiently: "You were so smart before, why did you become stupid after you got married! Why do you still need that position when your brother has lost the ability to have children? That would be a major crime against the nine tribes! In the past, our mother and son acted too openly. In the future, No matter who takes the throne, I can’t please you. Please help my mother and concubine think about how to get out of trouble now?!"

An Ning patted Concubine Shu's hand: "Don't worry, concubine. Don't reject the emperor's brother first. Try to see what he plans to do. I will ask the Marquis to make arrangements. When the time comes, I will escort mother and concubine to her hometown in Qingzhou. old age."

Concubine Shu was a little dissatisfied. Qingzhou was a remote and poor country with high mountains and far distances. She was used to living a good life in Beijing, so how could she want to go there? But after thinking about it carefully, she realized that this was the only way to survive.

The two discussed it in detail, and An Ning looked cold.
