hat, still refused to leave him."Your Highness, I made myself clear that day. I don't love you anymore, and we can't go back. Please don't bother me again!" Xiao Yuge turned to leave, afraid she could..."No. I have something to do." Xiao Yuge refused without hesitation, staying here for a meal was out of the question. Who knew what this madman might put in her food

"Ger! " Qian Si Chen naturally wouldn't let her leave just like that. Instinctively, she reached out to grab her hand.

"Uh!" But for some reason, Xiao Yu Ge suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, as if something was about to happen. She instinctively covered her heart.

"Ge'er, what's wrong with you" Her appearance frightened Qian Si Chen, who immediately shouted outside, "Come here! Send for the imperial physician!"

"Qian Si Chen, don't stop me! I must leave at once!" Xiao Yu Ge felt this sudden pain in her chest was definitely not an ordinary occurrence. Something must have happened, she had to leave the palace immediately.

"No, your face looks very bad, you must have the imperial physician take a look."

"I'm the doctor myself." Xiao Yuge broke free from his grip, clutching her chest, and walked outside.

Ling Tian stood at the doorway.

"Get out of my way!" Xiao Yu Ge's eyes turned cold. Her intuition was never wrong; something must have happened to make her heart so unsettled. So, whoever dared to stand in her way today would have to die!

Ling Tian remained still, only looking at Qian Si Chen behind Xiao Yu Ge. He only obeyed his master's orders.

Xiao Yu Ge subconsciously turned her head to look at Qian Si Chen. To be honest, those eyes filled with malice made even Qian Si Chen's heart skip a beat. He had never seen such eyes on Ge'er before.

"Ling Tian, get out of the way!"

"Yes!" Ling Tian only then stepped aside.

Xiao Yuge clutched her chest, rushing out of the Prince's Mansion. Her heart pounded rapidly, the feeling of unease growing stronger with each beat. She didn't know what had happened, and it was this very uncertainty that terrified her.

"Ling Tian, you quietly follow her!" Qian Si Chen was still not at ease with her leaving, so she immediately ordered Ling Tian to follow after her.

"Yes!"

Xiao Yu Ge went straight to Ruyi Pavilion. As soon as she entered, she called out to Feng Yan Niang: "Feng Jie Jie! Feng Jie Jie!"

Xiaowu, who was nearby, hurried over and said, “Miss Xiao, the head of the temple has something to attend to and went out. Before leaving, she instructed me to tell you that if you returned, please let you know that she will be back later.”

Xiao Yu Ge saw that everything in the marketplace was normal, and she slightly relaxed her mind, nodding. "Good." Just as she was about to return to her room, she turned back and asked, "Little Five, have you seen Qing Luo"

“Oh, Miss Qingluo, she went out at noon, saying she was going to buy you some scallion pancakes from Xijie Street.” Xiao Wu only then remembered and looked outside: “Speaking of which, it’s strange. At this time, Miss Qingluo should have been back long ago. Could it be that I was too busy, and she might have gone back to her room”

"Alright, then you go ahead with your work. I'll go take a look inside." Xiao Yuge didn't mind too much, after all, Qing Luo was always steady and reliable, never causing her any worry.

She came to the backyard and pushed open Qingluo's room door, but she wasn't inside. Could she have run to another room to play again So, she called out in a loud voice: "Qingluo! Qingluo!" But strangely, Qingluo didn't run out of a room like she used to.

That feeling of unease came over her again, and she called out several times. At this moment, the door of a certain room creaked open, and her heart skipped a beat. She shouted urgently, "Qing Luo!"

To everyone's surprise, it was Xiao Liu who poked her head out from the room. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, "Miss Xiao, Miss Qing Luo hasn't returned yet."

"Are you saying she has been gone since she left and hasn't come back at all" Xiao Yuge already had a feeling that something was wrong. Qing Luo wouldn't just go out for so long without a reason.

Her intuition told her that Qing Luo must have gotten into trouble. She immediately summoned Huo Yan and ordered him to send out a search party for Qing Luo. She also went out herself to look for places Qing Luo frequented, but after a long search, she found nothing. Her heart sank little by little. Qing Luo was now her only remaining relative. If something happened to Qing Luo, what should she do

She knew that she had to stay calm now more than ever. She sent Xiao Liu to the Xiayao Royal Mansion, for some reason, the only person she could think of at this moment was him.

Soon, the people Fire Flame sent out brought news that someone had seen a young woman at midday suddenly faint at the alley mouth. She was then carried onto a carriage and driven in the direction of the city gate. From the description of the person, Xiao Yuge could almost be certain that the person taken away was Qing Luo.

It's now afternoon, and the city gates are about to close. A whole afternoon has passed, and she doesn't know how Qing Luo is doing. She's anxious and tries to calm herself down.

"Huo Yan, you lead people out of the city immediately. Arrange for people to search every road and leave markers along the way. Xiao Wu stays in the market. If there is any news, notify us immediately!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Yuge followed closely behind and arrived at the city gate just as it was about to close. She was about to force her way in when she suddenly noticed the jade pendant given to her by Qian Ting Xuan at her waist. Raising the jade pendant, she shouted: "This is the jade pendant of King Xiao Yao! Open the city gates immediately!"

The soldiers guarding the city naturally recognized the King of Freedom's jade pendant and dared not offend her. They immediately opened the city gate to let her out.

Xiao Yu sang on horseback, dashing out of the city gate. Four forks in the road lay before her, each marked with cryptic signs left by fiery figures. Yet, they seemed to offer no clues. She gazed at them, silently murmuring, “Qing Luo, where did you go”

Perhaps it was a shared thought with Qing Luo, she suddenly saw a hair band somewhere. With a thought, she hurried over to pick it up and looked at it, overjoyed: "This is Qing Luo's hair band!" There were a few bloodstains on the hair band, which also made her heart sink!

Following the trail, there was a hidden path that she wouldn't have noticed if not for the trail marker. It seemed the person who took Qingluo away had used this path. That person was quite cunning, leaving carriage tracks on all four main roads to deliberately mislead them.

Xiao Yu carefully examined the path. It was too narrow for a carriage. From the tracks in the grass, it seemed they had walked away from here with Qing Luo.

Since Qing Luo left a hairpin here quietly, it seems she has already woken up. Coming to think of it, Qing Luo definitely wouldn't be so cooperative. They wanted to take Qing Luo away, and it must have taken them quite some time, perhaps even an entire afternoon. With her light skills, she should be able to catch up.

Thus, she left markers along the way, hoping that when Huoyan and them returned, they would find them. Then, she jumped, using everything she had learned in her life, just hoping to catch up with those people as soon as possible. If those people dared to harm Qingluo in even the slightest way, she would give her life, and make them pay a terrible price.

Meanwhile, Qing Luo was brought to the outside of a dilapidated temple. There were still bloodstains on her forehead. Although she was terrified inside, she still forced herself to appear calm on her small face. She believed that her young mistress would definitely come to save her. a joke Don't even mention my junior sister, she wouldn't look at me anyway, even if she did, with you here, I wouldn't dare! Honestly, when there's a woman around, there's no humanity left! I'm going...
