Half of the imperial guards were under the influence of the Han Family, and Han Ye served as the deputy commander of the imperial guards.
Han Lei hoped that the few imperial guards a.s.signed to escort the Little County Princess were not ones that his son promoted himself.
Otherwise, the Han Family would surely be charged with dereliction of duty!
The Emperor summoned the imperial guard who had returned with the news to the imperial audience hall.
To Han Lei's dismay, this person was named Zhang Feng, one of Han Ye’s subordinates!
Han Lei's heart sank instantly.
The Emperor inquired about the specifics of the incident and instructed the civil officials to create a portrait of the vendor based on Zhang Feng's description.
No one had seen this person before.
Finding the Little County Princess was now like searching for a needle in a haystack.
The Emperor was furious, and an oppressive atmosphere of impending doom enveloped the entire imperial audience hall.
"Search everywhere! Dig three feet into the ground if you have to, but bring back the Little County Princess! Zhen wants her alive!"
Zhang Feng reported, "There was another child who was kidnapped too. About the same age as the Little County Princess and wearing the same academy uniform."
This detail was too obvious.
Among all the students at Lingbo Academy of the same age as the Little County Princess, there was only one——Little Jing Kong.
Imperial Advisor's Hall.
Xiao Heng had just come down from the library pavilion and saw the senior disciple, Ye Qing, hurrying past with twenty other disciples and some death warriors.
Xiao Heng asked, "Ye Qing, where are you all going?"
Ye Qing halted and respectfully cupped his hands in greeting to Xiao Heng, “Your Highness, the Little County Princess and her cla.s.smate have been abducted. We from the Imperial Advisor's Hall are also planning to go out and search for them.”
Xiao Heng's gaze flickered slightly, "Which cla.s.smate of the Little County Princess?"
Ye Qing replied, "The boy who came yesterday, the one who sang in Qilin Hall for half the day. I think his name is... Jing Kong."
......
"Jing Kong was kidnapped?" In a side room, Gu Jiao looked at Xiao Heng and asked.
Xiao Heng nodded, "The vendor was originally trying to catch the Little County Princess, but Jing Kong rushed over and bit him. The vendor couldn’t shake him off, so he took him along as well."
Shangguan Yan had already fallen asleep again.
The room was very quiet.
Gu Jiao remained calm.
"I understand." She said.
She walked to the bedside, looked at the finished IV drip, extended her hand, and removed the infusion tube, calmly injecting heparin sodium into the catheter.
After completing these tasks, she carefully disposed of the medical supplies.
The entire process was methodical.
Xiao Heng, however, watched with a heavy heart, "The imperial guards escorting the Little County Princess are under Han Ye's command. Han Ye wouldn’t abduct the Little County Princess; he gains nothing from it. Either someone is trying to retaliate against the Emperor, or someone is targeting the Han Family."
The Little County Princess was the Emperor’s precious darling, and they wouldn’t dare harm her.
Jing Kong, however, was a different story.
He was just a child from a lower state, and to avoid complications, they might kill him if necessary.
In fact, even the Little County Princess’s situation wasn’t entirely safe.
In any accident, there were always variables, and any one of those variables could lead to unpredictable consequences.
Gu Jiao strapped on her arm guard.
Then she headed to the weapon room in Qilin Hall, pointed at the red-ta.s.seled silver spear mounted on the wall, and calmly said, “I need to borrow this.”
The disciple who had been wiping down the weapons stared at her in a daze.
She was very calm, like the surface of an undisturbed lake.
Yet, for some reason, a chill crept into the disciple’s heart, as though beneath that calm lake, a terrifying storm was brewing.
By the time the disciple snapped out of his daze, Gu Jiao had already left with the red-ta.s.seled silver spear.
Gu Jiao also borrowed a horse from the Imperial Advisor’s Hall.
She sat astride the horse, with the blazing sun high above her head.
She tilted her head back, put her index and thumb fingers in her mouth, and blew a sharp whistle toward the vast sky.
In the distance, the piercing cry of a mighty falcon——the ruler of the skies——rang out!
A fierce gyrfalcon soared high, circling sharply above Gu Jiao's head.
Gu Jiao gripped the red-ta.s.seled silver spear in one hand while holding the reins tightly in the other, her eyes sharp as she said, "Let’s go!"
……
The disappearance of the Little County Princess was a serious matter; even the Imperial Advisor's Hall was mobilized, not to mention the major n.o.ble families.
These major n.o.ble families hurried to deploy their elite forces, hoping to find the Little County Princess and gain great merit.
The Han Family was particularly eager in their search.
In the reception pavilion, Old Master Han spoke with a grave expression, “This time, Zhang Feng and the others failed in their duties. If we don’t atone for our mistakes and recover the Little County Princess, the Emperor will blame us, and the Han Family will be in trouble.”
The Han Family had already lost a mine because of the a.s.sa.s.sination attempt on the Eldest Imperial Grandson, and they could not afford to be punished by the Emperor a second time.
Han Lei had just returned from the imperial palace.
Inside the room, aside from him and Old Master Han, there was also his legitimate younger brother, Third Master Han.
Third Master Han was a wastrel.
Last night, he spent the whole evening in a concubine's quarters and now looked disheveled and listless.
Han Lei felt a surge of anger at the sight of him.
When it came to competence, ten of Third Master Han combined couldn't match Second Master Han.
In Han Lei’s opinion, Third Master Han should have been the one to take the fall for Han Ye.
At least the Han Family would only lose a useless person!
But because he was the legitimate son of the Old Madam, even without putting in effort or contributing to the family, he could still enjoy the benefits!
Han Lei shot his brother a fierce glare, using all his strength to resist the urge to slap him to death.
"Father." Han Lei suppressed his anger and said to Old Master Han, "There's something suspicious about this matter."
Old Master Han intertwined his hands over the handle of his cane, his gaze sharp as an eagle’s, “Don’t worry about whether it’s suspicious or not. First, we need to find the Little County Princess to save the Han Family!”
Han Lei cupped his hands in acknowledgment, “Understood, Father. I’ll gather people to search for her right away.”

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:
Description:
In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the s.h.i.+ family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succ.u.mb to darkness amidst hards.h.i.+p and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.
When s.h.i.+ Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the s.h.i.+ family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.
The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.
From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.
***
Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like s.h.i.+ Dai.
After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"
s.h.i.+ Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"
s.h.i.+ Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”
s.h.i.+ Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
