Xu Yao took the Queen Mother away, and for convenience, he knocked her out and took her away.

The armored guards of the Yulin Army rushed over after receiving the news, but found that the two men were nowhere to be seen.

The commander of the guards ordered a palace-wide search, but Xu Yao's trace was not easy to find and they did not find any trace.

Someone immediately ordered the city to be sealed off, and not even a fly was allowed to fly out. For a time, the entire Panjing city was in a panic, and everyone stayed indoors for fear of causing trouble and bringing disaster upon themselves.

When the imperial study exploded, everyone thought something had happened to the emperor, but it turned out that the emperor wanted to go out for a walk and was not in the study.

So when everyone found the emperor, he was not only safe and sound, but he was even very curious about what had happened?

When Master Jia saw that the emperor was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then someone came to report that the Queen Mother Wang had been captured by an assassin and her whereabouts were unknown.

The emperor was extremely worried and immediately ordered a city-wide search to find the Queen Mother.

The emperor was furious that the assassin had the audacity to harm the royal family. If he was caught, he would be cut into pieces and his entire clan would be exterminated.

With such a big incident happening, people in the palace were in a panic, and all the palace maids and eunuchs were very nervous.

Faced with the interrogation of the armored guards, he told everything he knew with a clear conscience and made it through safely.

But those who had guilty consciences were quickly caught, thrown into prison and tortured.

For a moment, the whole palace was extremely tense and filled with a faint smell of blood. Everyone walked with their heads down, for fear of bringing bad luck to someone.

After searching for two or three days, there was no news of the Queen Mother.

Nanny Xing knelt outside the emperor's bedroom, kowtowed and begged the emperor to find the whereabouts of the empress dowager.

Master Jia came in from outside the palace and saw this scene, and seemed to be thinking about something.

After Nanny Xing was helped to walk, she entered the bedroom and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you should make plans early."

The young emperor was stunned for a moment, his eyes slightly dangerous, but Master Jia pretended not to notice and said cautiously: "I am also thinking about Your Majesty. I don't know why this assassin wants to capture Queen Mother Wang. If he threatens the Queen Mother, what will Your Majesty do?"

The emperor said angrily: "That is my mother."

Imperial Tutor Jia nodded. "Your Majesty is filial, and everyone in the world knows it. But Your Majesty, you are the emperor first, and the empress dowager's son second. As a monarch, the first thing you have to do is to stabilize the court and not let those with ulterior motives take advantage of you. Even if the empress dowager really can't come back, it's time for you to rule the country yourself."

The little emperor was stunned for a moment, then he looked up at Master Jia and was speechless for a moment.

The emperor understood that the Grand Tutor was hinting to him that it might be a good thing if the empress dowager could come back, but if she could not come back, wouldn’t it be a good opportunity for the emperor to rule the country himself?

The emperor said nothing in the end, but he also had no intention of opposing Tutor Jia.

Not objecting means agreeing.

Master Jia understood what he meant and quietly left.

Jia Sheng and others were outside. When they saw their father coming out, they hurried to greet him and asked in a low voice about the emperor's attitude.

Master Jia looked around and saw that only the father and son were left. Then he said, "Your Majesty is old now, and it is time for you to rule the country."

With just this simple sentence, the father and son understood each other's meaning. Jia Sheng was slightly excited and said that he would take care of what happened next.

Master Jia watched his son leave with satisfaction. He turned his head to look in the direction of Wutong Palace and slowly walked out of the palace gate.

That day, Pei Shuo took Pei Yi and fled and then hid.

As agreed, he waited for Xu Yao at the prepared place. After dark, Xu Yao came as expected, but she was alone.

Pei Shuo was surprised: "Master, did you fail?"

It doesn’t matter if I fail, as long as Master is safe and sound.

However, Xu Yao asked the brother and sister to pack up and follow her. Pei Yi looked at Xu Yao with complicated eyes.

She also knew that this was not the time to talk, so the two siblings simply packed up and followed Xu Yao away.

It didn't take long for the Iron Guards to find this place.

But the room was empty and the Iron Guards found nothing.

The brother and sister followed Xu Yao through many twists and turns and came to a hidden house. After entering the house, Xu Yao led them to the underground secret passage. In such a well-guarded place, who could easily find them?

Pei Yi became more and more curious about Xu Yao's abilities, and she was even more confused as to why she should help Pei Shuo.

She knew that there was nothing to plot against Pei Shuo, but this was even more troublesome. If there was no plot and they had no friendship, why would Xu Yao take the risk of meddling in their affairs? Pei Yi actually hoped that Xu Yao had some plot against them.

She also wondered, what if Xu Yao was plotting against her father?

Ever since Pei Shuo told her that Queen Mother Wang secretly took her father to Beichen, Pei Yi has always had a doubt in her heart.

My father is loyal to the Great Zhou and must not turn to Beichen.

Then why did the Queen Mother arrest her father?

Does my father have something very important in his hand that the Queen Mother must get?

If this is what Queen Mother Wang was planning, then is Xu Yao of Emperor Qingzong of Yuan also planning this?

Pei Yi suppressed her doubts and did not ask. She could see that her brother trusted Xu Yao very much, and she also knew that Pei Shuo was grateful to Xu Yao.

If she raised such a question at this moment, it would be tantamount to provoking the relationship between the two of them, which would be inappropriate.

Pei Yi decided to observe secretly. If nothing happened, that would be great. But if something happened, she must protect her brother.

Xu Yao led the group for a long walk underground and soon arrived at a secret room.

The two men saw the bound Queen Mother, who was dressed in gorgeous phoenix robes. Although she looked a little dishevelled being imprisoned here, she was still graceful, stable and calm.

The brother and sister looked at each other and couldn't help but marvel in their hearts that Xu Yao was really capable.

They said they were going to capture the Queen Mother, and they actually captured her.

"So what should we do next?"

Pei Shuo asked Xu Yao, and Xu Yao said calmly: "Someone will send a letter to Pingxi Hou in the next two days. Since we are kidnappers, we will naturally ask for a ransom."

The ransom is the Duke of Zhenguo.

Pei Shuo was grateful for Xu Yao's help, but Pei Yi was very worried. This matter was not that simple.

Thinking of Marquis Pingxi, she couldn't help but think of Liang Hongwen, and her heart was filled with complicated feelings.

Pei Yi didn't know whether that person really liked her or was just using her.

She was only vaguely afraid, because the man looked at her with a fiery and crazy look. This kind of person would do anything to get what he wanted, and would not let them go easily.

Pei Yi worriedly asked, "Even if our deal is successful, how can we escape?"

After all, this is Beichen, and they have kidnapped the Queen Mother. It is not easy to leave alive.

Xu Yao: "I have someone arrange a boat for you. You can take the boat to Dingnan Kingdom after the mission is completed."

I can't stay in Beichen, I can't go back to Da Zhou, the only place I can go is Dingnan Kingdom.

Zhuang Mu is a capable guy. He has done business in Dingnan Kingdom. With his people arranged there, it is not impossible for them to go to Dingnan Kingdom.
