The puller of the cart was already nervous and guilty, but when the soldiers guarding the city gate shouted, he instinctively left the cart behind and tried to escape! After running away like this, all my suspicions were proven now, otherwise why would you be running away?

"stop!"

The soldiers rushed forward immediately, and several others also gathered around, chasing people and unloading large tanks.

As soon as the lid was opened, the person huddled inside was exposed. It was a young lady whose mouth was gagged, her hands and feet were bound, and she was well-dressed!

The people in the big tank screamed excitedly when they saw them, their eyes were frightened and there seemed to be undried tears in the corners of their eyes!

Ying Ying Ying! It scared her to death!

They got the person out, untied the rope, and removed the cloth that blocked his mouth——

"I am the eldest lady of Duke Chengguo's mansion! Originally, I was attending a banquet at the eldest princess's mansion today, but someone came to say that the eldest princess wanted to see me, so I followed a maid there. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for me to sit down after entering the house. I felt dizzy for a while, and then I fell unconscious! When I regained consciousness, I found that I was tied up!"

Xu Muhua said in tears.

Several soldiers looked at each other in confusion after hearing her words, and a sentence flashed through their minds at the same time: I'm afraid this can't be done easily!

Not only does it involve the Chengguo Palace, but it also involves the eldest princess who just returned to Beijing!

Is the person who planned this act audacious? Who is so brave and dares to offend two powerful people at once?

Are you tired of living?

The soldier did not dare to delay and hurriedly went to inform his superiors.

On the other side of the eldest princess's mansion, Wu'er felt strange that he hadn't seen his young lady for a long time. After finally finding Pei Shaorong and the others, they immediately walked up and asked, "Misses, have you seen my lady?"

Pei Shaorong saw that it was Wu'er and said, "A maid came over just now and said that the eldest princess wanted to see Mu Hua, so Mu Hua followed the maid over."

Wu'er heard this and said strangely: "But I just came over and saw the eldest princess talking to some ladies over there! I didn't see my young lady here!"

When Xu Muhua was accompanying the eldest princess before, she asked Wu'er to follow Xu's mother. Later, Xu's mother saw that she was no longer following the eldest princess, so she asked Wu'er to return to her.

While she and Pei Shaorong were chatting aside, their maids were sent away.

Wu'er saw that his young lady was chatting happily with other young ladies and was bored by himself, so he found a place to sit down and planned to wait for the young lady to finish talking before going to find her.

But who knew that when I walked out, I didn’t see the lady! She looked around again and still couldn't see it!

Pei Shaorong and others were stunned for a moment. Pei Shaorong asked, "Muhua is not with the eldest princess?"

"No!"

"But didn't the maid just say that the eldest princess wanted to see Mu Hua? Or did Mu Hua leave on his own after meeting the eldest princess?"

After saying that, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Pei walked over together.

Now that the banquet was almost over, they felt it was time to leave. So both came to find their daughter.

"Hey, where is Mu Hua? Miss Pei, Mu Hua is not with you?" Mother Xu was confused when she didn't see her daughter.

Wu'er was worried and immediately told Xu's mother about the situation.

Mother Xu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she said without much hesitation: "I'll go ask the aunt next to the eldest princess first."

Mu Hua is not such an impolite person. There is no way he would run off by himself without any explanation, unless something really happened!

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but speed up her pace, and hurriedly walked towards the location of the eldest princess.

Pei Shaorong and others also became worried and walked over closely.

Xu's mother did not ask the eldest princess directly, but found Aunt Qi. Aunt Qi had just finished investigating the matter of Pei Zhen falling from the rockery, and was about to report the results to the eldest princess, when Mother Xu stopped her halfway.

After listening to Xu's mother's words, Aunt Qi frowned at first, then immediately relaxed her brows. She looked at Xu's mother and comforted her: "Mrs. Xu, don't worry. I'll go ask His Highness right now. Maybe His Highness is really looking for someone. I asked Miss Xu to help me with something."

Xu's mother forced a smile and said, "Thank you."

Just a pair of hands were entangled together unconsciously, and my heart couldn't help but sink.

If there is anything the eldest princess can ask Mu Hua to help with, it is clearly...

Aunt Qi also realized something in her heart, and what she said to Xu's mother was just comfort.

She was the head mistress of the Duke Cheng's Mansion, and would not have rashly come up to question him if the situation was not urgent.

Aunt Qi walked to the eldest princess, lowered her head and whispered a few words in her ear.

The people around didn't hear what Nanny Qi said, but they saw the eldest princess's face darken instantly, and a flash of anger quickly flashed in her eyes.

The eldest princess did not leave immediately. Instead, she talked and laughed with everyone as if nothing had happened for a while before letting the maid help her leave, leaving Aunt Qi to maintain order.

"Mrs. Xu, I must admit that I have not sent anyone to find Mu Hua."

When Xu's mother heard this, she immediately shook her body.

So something really happened to Mu Hua!

Seeing this, the eldest princess quickly said: "Mrs. Xu, don't panic. Since you are missing from the mansion, I will definitely find Mu Hua for you! Then I will give you justice!"

Xu's mother quickly calmed down and blessed the eldest princess, "Your Highness, please send someone to search immediately. You must find Mu Hua!"

"It's natural. Don't worry. This incident happened in the Princess's Mansion. I will definitely find out the person who caused the trouble. Otherwise, what kind of face would I have? Wouldn't everyone regard the Princess's Mansion as their own?" Is it a place where I can come and go as I please, and where I can have mischief as I please?”

The eldest princess also rarely got angry.

She hadn't been back to the capital for many years, and when she came back once in a while, she held a flower-viewing party, but things happened one after another! Didn't those people take her as the eldest princess seriously?

The eldest princess actually already had some suspicions in her heart.

If you dare to cause trouble in the eldest princess's mansion, you obviously won't have no status, otherwise you wouldn't have the guts. Either this person was so powerful in the capital that he could ignore her, or... it was his own family who did it!

The eldest princess preferred the latter, but she couldn't figure out who in her eldest princess's house was so bold as to kidnap people blatantly under her nose. A choice that I had no doubts about.

But the eldest princess still gave the order immediately.

I thought I would be able to find out soon, but the result was somewhat beyond the eldest princess's expectation.

The maid who led Xu Muhua to the small attic was found quickly.

But the other party also looked at a loss when facing the eldest princess's inquiry.

"His Highness asked the slave to take Miss Xu to the small attic!"
