After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

With a "bang", the door panel began to shake.

What came into view was a strange woman. The makeup on her face was very similar to Nan Yuan's. Coupled with the night cover and the veil covering her face, she was able to hide her identity for a moment.

As for voice, Gu Jingheng knew it very well. Having learned ventriloquism, he knew that it was not difficult to imitate human voice.

It’s hateful that he would fail because of this one day.

"Who are you? Where is Nan Yuan?" The anger in Gu Jingheng's heart almost swallowed him whole.

“Hahahaha…” The strange woman sneered and laughed for a long while. She raised her eyes and looked at Gu Jingheng: “The person His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants should have arrived in Jiangcheng by now.”

"Of course, don't worry, Your Highness. We won't do anything to your people until we get what we want."

"But if we can't get it, it would be very embarrassing. It would be a pity to waste this beauty."

Gu Jingheng clenched his lowered hands into fists and asked coldly, "What do you want?"

"It's not a rare thing, it's just the Nine Cities of Mobei. Your Highness, are you willing to give it up?"

Nine Cities of Mobei?

How dare you speak up!

But before he could say anything, the man vomited blood and fell to the ground and died.

Ah Qi walked forward, took a look, and reported back: "Master, this person must have known that he couldn't escape, so he took poison in advance to avoid torture."

This series of events made Gu Jingheng feel frustrated for the first time.

Nan Yuan disappeared, and he didn't even know when Nan Yuan disappeared.

Nan Yuan was taken away right under his nose.

Gu Jingheng was furious.

But things have already happened, and we can only find Nan Yuan as soon as possible.

"check!"

"Yes, master."

A small courtyard in the west of the city, at night.

When Shen Zhaixing woke up, she felt an abnormal burning sensation in her stomach for some reason.

It was pitch black all around, and there was even a faint smell of blood.

"hiss--"

His mind was not particularly clear when he just woke up, and he couldn't remember how he fainted for a moment.

Frowning, Shen Zhaixing struggled to get up from the ground, turned on the light, and it took him a long time to adapt to the surrounding light.

"Yue'er!"

The moment he adjusted to the light, Shen Zhaixing saw Jiang Song lying unconscious in a pool of blood.

He hurried over to check, but found that her breath was very weak.

Jiang Song's arms and shoulders had several wounds of varying depths. The most serious one was the bloody hole on his forehead that was caused by a blunt object. Although the wound had dried up, the injury could not be underestimated.

Shen Zhaixing's pupils suddenly shrank, and he hurriedly picked up Jiang Song from the ground. However, due to exhaustion, he staggered two steps and fell to the ground.

"...Young Master?" Yue'er was awakened by him, her eyes still hazy.

Shen Zhaixing gritted her teeth and supported herself to stand firmly. She shook her head and said, "It's okay. I'll take you to see a doctor."

He didn't have time to think about what day it was, he just knew that Jiang Song's injury needed to be treated.

"Master, I'm fine, don't go out..." Jiang Song buried his head in his neck, tears falling like beads from a broken string, "...It's very dangerous outside, don't leave me..."

Her voice was very soft, with a strong nasal tone, which made people feel particularly distressed.

Shen Zhaixing paused and looked down at Jiang Song in his arms.

Her eyes were closed tightly, she was terrified.

Now, Shen Zhaixing's mind has become clearer. He asked, "Yue'er, what happened today?"

He remembered that he brought Nan Yuan to find Yue'er, but he lost consciousness as soon as he entered the door.

After that, he didn't know what happened next.

wrong!

Southern Kite?

"Where is Nan Yuan?" Shen Zhaixing asked.

He looked around, and suddenly, in the position blocked by the table, he could vaguely see a figure, motionless.

The bloody smell in the room seemed to come from there.

He didn't pay attention to it at first, but now thinking about it, the little blood Yue'er shed could not create such a strong smell of blood.

Wouldn't that be...

Shen Zhaixing was startled and walked towards that direction in disbelief.

Do not!

If Nan Yuan died...

If it really was Nan Yuan, he didn't even dare to imagine what the consequences would be.

After just a few steps, Shen Zhaixing broke out in a thin layer of sweat.

He moved the table away tremblingly, the bloody smell became even stronger.

He swallowed, closed his eyes, stretched out his trembling hands, and turned the man's head over.

After making sufficient mental preparation, Shen Zhaixing finally opened his eyes.

"Boom-"

Shen Zhaixing sat down on the ground, the sweat from his forehead dripping down his temples.

Not Nan Yuan.

Fortunately, fortunately it wasn’t Nan Yuan.

Shen Zhaixing breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there is no body, everything will be fine.

He wiped the sweat off his head, walked to Jiang Song and said, "Come on, follow me."

We can't stay here any longer.

He didn't know who had plotted against him, but he had to tell Gu Jingheng about it now.

Don’t worry about so many things, the important thing is to stop the loss in time.

"...Young Master?"

Jiang Song held Shen Zhaixing's hands with both hands and kept shaking his head: "...Don't go out."

"What's wrong?" Shen Zhaixing finally noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Song and asked hurriedly, "What do you know?"

Jiang Song bit his lip, tears falling down his face, sobbing, "Two hours before you entered the house, a group of people suddenly came to the yard and tied me up without any reason."

"I don't know what they wanted to do. They tied me up and said nothing. They just lay in ambush at the door."

"Then I saw you. I wanted to tell you not to come in because it was dangerous here, but they blocked my mouth and I couldn't make a sound. I could only watch them knock you out..."

"Then what?" Shen Zhaixing asked.

"I also saw Miss Nan Yuan coming with us. After seeing Miss Nan Yuan, these people tied her up again."

"After that, they said something I couldn't understand, and searched you for what they wanted. They then had some of them take Miss Nan Yuan away."

"I was afraid that they would harm Miss Nan Yuan, so I struggled desperately to remove the knife from my neck, but... but there were too many people, and I... I was injured all over but couldn't save Miss Nan Yuan. I could only watch them take Miss Nan Yuan away."

"They gave you medicine again and warned me that when you wake up, they would tell you: 'If you want the antidote, be obedient and do things for us, otherwise you will die of the poison within five days.' Then they knocked me out, and I don't know how many days have passed. Sir, are you okay?"

"poison?"

Shen Zhaixing frowned. No wonder he felt a burning sensation in his stomach when he woke up. It seemed like he was poisoned.

"Yes, they drugged you..." Jiang Song couldn't stop crying and blamed himself, "It's all my fault. If I had fought back desperately from the beginning, they wouldn't have had the chance to harm you, let alone kidnap Miss Nan Yuan. It's all my fault..."

After listening to what Jiang Song said, Shen Zhaixing roughly understood. He reached out to wipe Jiang Song's tears and comforted him, "It's okay, don't cry."

It was obvious that this group of people came here for him, and Jiang Song suffered an unprovoked disaster.

As for Nan Yuan...

They wanted to kidnap him, but then they saw Nan Yuan and changed their mind.

These people kidnapped Nan Yuan with the purpose of... Gu Jingheng!

Thinking of this, Shen Zhaixing could no longer calm down and turned around to run out.

Jiang Song stopped in front of Shen Zhaixing and said with concern: "Sir, why don't we just listen to them? Health is more important."

Shen Zhaixing glanced at Jiang Song, sighed, and held her shoulders, comforting her: "Okay, I know my limits. Since these people have already set their sights on me, then my every move is naturally under their noses. If they want me to do anything, they will naturally notify me in the next few days."

"Don't worry, I still want to save my own life. Before they notify me, I will not act rashly."

"The most important thing now is that this place is no longer safe. You can't stay here anymore. I'll have someone move you to another place."

"What about you, sir?" Jiang Song looked at him with worry in his eyes.

"I need to go see what's going on outside. I can't be clueless and be led by the nose, understand?"

Shen Zhaixing's tone was a little serious. When Jiang Song heard it, he immediately stopped crying and nodded seriously: "Okay, then you must be careful!"

Shen Zhaixing nodded and quickly left the room.

Jiang Song was left alone in the room, watching Shen Zhaixing's figure becoming increasingly blurred, her eyes becoming more and more complicated.

That day, everyone was supposed to leave the city, but after giving it some thought, she decided not to leave with her master and the others.

With so many people walking together, the target is too big.

What's more, if she left, Shen Zhaixing would definitely find out that she had deceived him for so many years.

I was so angry that I chased after him impulsively. If he really caught up with me, it would be a big trouble.

It is better to be safe than sorry. Never underestimate a man who is dominated by anger.

If she had stayed, all these accidents could have been avoided.

The master is worried about her safety, but there is actually nothing to worry about.

Shen Zhaixing was very stupid. She could calm him down with just a little coaxing, and he would never suspect her at all.

Moreover, if she stayed, she could continue to pass messages to her master and others. With Shen Zhaixing's protection, no one would suspect her.

If it weren't for their different positions, she might actually consider exchanging her true heart with Shen Zhaixing.

Unfortunately, there is no if.

She had poisoned Shen Zhaixing, and if he didn't listen to her, he would really die from the poison.

She was really reluctant to let go. After all, it was not easy to find someone so obedient, protective of her, and who could have contact with the prince.

I hope Shen Zhaixing can listen to me and not do anything stupid.

Jiang Song exhaled, sat on the chair and looked outside the door.

——"You play with fire or you will get burned."

Somehow, Nan Yuan's words kept echoing in her mind.

Jiang Song shook his head, trying to get these words out of his mind.

Nan Yuan was thoughtful. She only said a few words about her future plans, and Nan Yuan knew what she wanted to do in the future. She was indeed smart.

However, in her opinion, Nan Yuan was too timid and too soft-hearted.

If she was Nan Yuan, no matter whether the prince was sincere or not, she would coax him into having a child while he was still interested in her.

Then, while he was off guard, she would give him a dose of medicine to cut off his fertility, forcing him to raise only their child to ascend the throne and pave the way for his child.

If you still like the prince at this time, then keep him and let him accompany you.

If you don't like the prince anymore, you can take another dose of medicine, get rid of the father and keep the son, and become the queen mother of a country with full legitimacy, isn't that good?

Nan Yuan, oh Nan Yuan, you are timid and soft-hearted, you only want to escape, you will never achieve anything great!

Prince's Mansion.

"Step aside!"

Shen Zhaixing pushed away the guard who was blocking his way and ran towards the study.

The study was brightly lit at this time, and all the prince's staff were there, except Hua Qichuan who had been sent to the frontier to command troops, and even Chu Zhixu had arrived.

Gu Jingheng sat in the main seat with a very ugly expression on his face.

"Ah Heng, something happened."

Shen Zhaixing's breathing was still unstable. He forced himself to calm down and said, "Nan Yuan was kidnapped. I guess it was done by the Tianqi people. They have been pushed too hard during this period of time. They are desperate and have jumped off the wall."

"I accidentally fell into their trap and they took my token away from me. I think I'm out of the city now."

But after he finished saying these words, Gu Jingheng's expression didn't change much.

Maybe his expression was already very ugly before, so even if he was angry now, it wouldn't be much ugly anymore.

"Let's all go out."

Gu Jingheng spoke, his voice was very light and no emotion could be heard in it.

The staff in the room exchanged glances with each other, then stood up and left.

After everyone left, Chu Zhixu stood up, unfolded the topographic map, and said, "According to Zhaixing, those people kidnapped Nan Yuan in order to leave the city. Since they are from Tianqi, their purpose is to go to Tianqi."

"According to the shortest route, they should be in Jiangcheng now. If they go north along the waterway, they can reach Tongzhou tonight. Then they can take the land route to Pei, Ji, and Mian, and then they can leave Dayong's territory."

Chu Zhixu followed the topographic map and analyzed the route of the people who held Nan Yuan hostage.

"They have the Star Picking Token and are following the formal channels. No one will stop them, and it will be smooth for them to leave the city."

"If we want to stop them before they leave Dayong, we can only send a pigeon to block the city they are leaving from."

"But if we order the exit to be blocked now, it will inevitably cause panic among the people. Then someone will take advantage of the situation and things will become very difficult to deal with."

"But if we don't order the city to be sealed off, we can only send people to chase them..." Chu Zhixu sighed. Sending people to chase them would also require the same search process as the people who held Nan Yuan hostage, but now it's more than three days late. Even if we rush, it will still be...

"Can't catch up."

"No." Gu Jingheng suddenly spoke.

"If I go there myself, there's still a chance I can catch up."

"Indeed."

If Gu Jingheng went there in person, he would naturally save the search step and a lot of time, and it would be possible to catch up.

But it's just a possibility.

"No! Are you crazy?" Shen Zhaixing lost his temper when he heard Gu Jingheng say this: "Don't forget that you are the crown prince of Dayong! The emperor is not in the capital now. If the crown prince is gone, if something happens, who will make the decision?"

How many people in the capital are eyeing the plan covetously? All the plans have only just been carried out halfway, and there are still so many things in the capital waiting for Gu Jingheng to do. Is he going to drop everything and gamble on a possible outcome?

"Gu Jingheng, calm down. Are you really going to disregard your grand plan for the sake of Nan Yuan?"
