Hearing this, Sheng Shiyou immediately leaned down, and Lu Youyou leaned into his ear and told him all the news she knew.

Naturally, it was mixed with some information that I read in books, but I just pretended that I overheard it, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

After hearing Lu Youyou's words, Sheng Shiyou's eyes flashed with an invisible light, and then he repeatedly promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

After saying that, Sheng Shiyou pondered for a moment and then called his confidants: "You should go investigate this matter now..."

After giving the instructions, Sheng Shiyou asked his men to send all the abducted children home, and the matter was finally over for the time being.

Lu Youyou got on the carriage going home. Lu Zhiyan saw that she was not frightened at all, and sighed helplessly: "You are really a brat. My father and mother were angry when they heard that you had done this." I almost fainted. You have to admit your mistake when you go back later, understand?"

Facing the second brother's gentle words, Lu Youyou couldn't help but stick out her tongue, and her face looked a little guilty.

As soon as they arrived at the house, many servants shouted with joy: "Miss is back!"

Next, Lu Youyou was taken to the hall. Lin Yuyan and Lu Jingyuan were sitting in front of them. The rest of the people were sent away. Even Lu Zhiyan couldn't stay, so he could only He looked at her with concern and left.

After a brief silence, Lin Yuyan slammed the table.

"You are getting more and more bold now!"

Lin Yuyan's face looked very haggard: "Do you know how worried we are about you, but you ended up doing that kind of thing secretly?"

"That's right, I know you are doing it for the sake of those children, but you must also consider your own safety!"

Lu Jingyuan also echoed beside him, scolding Lu Youyou with a straight face.

"I'm sorry~ I really know I was wrong. It's my fault this time. Just forgive me this time~"

Lu Youyou fully understood the principle of being a hero, so she immediately started to apologize coquettishly in a soft voice.

"If you say that now, I don't know where the skin will go in the future! You go to the ancestral hall and kneel down to make your memory long, and you won't be able to do such a thing in the future!"

When something like this happened, Lin Yuyan was scared but also really angry, so she spoke without saying a word.

Lu Youyou immediately pursed her lips: "Mom, I was just rescued and suffered a lot there. Now I feel uncomfortable even walking. If I really go to kneel in the ancestral hall... ugh, it will definitely hurt to death." "

She pretended to be pitiful, and Lu Jingyuan felt the same instantly. A trace of unbearability flashed on his face. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Lin Yuyan angrily: "The child is right. After all, she just came back. It won't be right to punish her after she gets better." It’s too late.”

"Quick, go back to the yard to rest, and wait and see how I deal with you!"

He deliberately kept a straight face and secretly winked at Lu Youyou. She understood instantly and turned back to the yard.

The father and daughter singing in harmony instantly made Lin Yuyan so angry.

"What about punishing her after she gets better? When I see it, you should be the first to jump out and object! Just spoil her!"

"How could it be? After she recovers, I will take her to the ancestral hall immediately. Now you can let the child have a good rest, okay?"

After walking out of the door, Lu Youyou could vaguely hear Lin Yuyan's high-pitched tone and Lu Jingyuan's persuasive voice in the room behind her, and she couldn't help but touch her chest in fear.

Huh, luckily her father is still on her side, I'm afraid she really has to kneel in the ancestral hall!

She thought as she quickened her steps back to the yard. However, as soon as she entered the yard, Lu Youyou saw Xuan He pacing, and asked aloud: "Xuan He, what are you doing here?"

Hearing this, Xuan He's eyes immediately lit up, and he rushed into Lu Youyou's arms and hugged her tightly.

"You're finally back! You're not hurt, are you? I'm so worried."

Feeling Xuan He's trembling body, Lu Youyou gradually realized how many people she had worried about during her trip, so she softened her voice and said softly: "Xuan He, I will go back and talk to you slowly, please let go first. Am I okay?"

"not good!"

Xuan He shook his head stubbornly, not wanting to let go at all.

Seeing this, Lu Youyou felt helpless and at the same time felt a warm current in her heart. He immediately maintained this posture and started to make noise, trying to comfort her with some words.

Morning next day.

The emperor sat in his chair with an annoyed look on his face.

He only learned this morning that the fifth princess had almost had an accident. As soon as he came to court, he immediately set his sights on the seventh prince and spoke in a serious voice.

"Seventh Prince, please explain to me carefully. Didn't you vow to me before that you would thoroughly investigate this matter? Why was Xiao Wu abducted and almost had an accident?"

At the end of the sentence, the emperor's voice suddenly rose in pitch, and his face was calm and intimidating. The rest of the people in the court were so shocked that they immediately lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.

Hearing this, the seventh prince lowered his head with a complicated expression: "My son..."

After all, he did not handle this matter well, and even put the fifth princess in danger. Arguing words rolled on his lips, and finally turned into a dull word: "It's my son who is incompetent."

"You are indeed incompetent!"

The emperor said with a gloomy face: "I said I could give you time, but what about you? Now the gangsters have captured the fifth princess and are having fun on me, but you can only say this sentence, what if it's not incompetence? ?”

After saying this call, the emperor's chest heaved violently, obviously very angry.

Seeing this, some ministers from Sheng Shiyou's faction immediately came forward to ask for help: "Wei Chen believes that since the seventh prince cannot solve this matter, it is better to leave the matter to the ninth prince."

Sheng Shiyou came forward and bowed with humility: "If there is any need, I will naturally be there without hesitation."

Seeing this, the Seventh Prince's fingers in his sleeves couldn't help but clenched tightly, and his face looked very ugly.

The Seventh Prince's people immediately came forward to retort.

"Your Majesty, you must not do this! Although the Seventh Prince has not yet settled this matter, he has already obtained some evidence. As long as he gives time, he will be able to investigate the matter thoroughly!"

"Yes, your Majesty, please think again!"

In an instant, there were three factions in the court. One faction was headed by the Seventh Prince, the other was headed by the Ninth Prince, and the last one was the neutral faction. Each of the three groups expressed their own opinions.

The emperor squinted his eyes with a complicated expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

"But now there is no time for the Seventh Prince to waste. If the criminals are not caught for a day, the people will be panicked. What's more, they even dare to kidnap and traffic the fifth princess. You can imagine how rampant the other party is. If they continue to indulge , I’m afraid I’ll regret it!” (End of this chapter)
