He would never allow Yue'er to suffer groundless accusations and injustice, and her innocence must not be tarnished.

Therefore, although he looked forward to his grandmother's safe return, he firmly opposed this return to the Jin family in Taohua Town, a place full of mysteries and crises.

Just as Prince Jingxuan stepped out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, intending to be the first to find the whereabouts of his grandmother, a confidant with a panicked look on his face came running towards him, interrupting his thoughts.

"Prince, it's bad! Something has happened to Miss Han!" The confidant's hurried words pierced the silent air like a sharp arrow, making Prince Jingxuan's face turn pale as paper in an instant.

"What's the matter?" he asked harshly, unable to conceal the tension and worry in his voice.

The confidant hurriedly reported.

After the large-scale search operation failed, Duke Dingguo was furious. He completely disregarded King Jingxuan's face and denounced Han Yue'er like a storm.

Not only did he expressly forbid Han Yue'er from appearing in front of him again, he also strictly prohibited her from interfering in the matter.

Such severe punishment was an unprecedented blow even for Han Yueer, who always did her own thing.

Han Yue'er has always been aloof and arrogant. Apart from Zhang, no one has ever been able to humiliate her so mercilessly.

How could her proud nature tolerate such an insult?

After returning to Shengjing, she decided to uncover the truth of the incident herself based on the clues from the ancient books she had read.

This action is not only to wash away one's own shame, but also to explore those dusty memories.

As if it was fate, she unexpectedly ran into a member of the Huazai gang during the investigation.

Han Yue'er wished she could skin and pull out the tendons of these scums who brought shame upon her to vent her hatred.

So, she intercepted it without hesitation and prepared to find out the truth.

At first, the man denied everything and flatly denied that he had ever been a member of the Huahuazi.

However, under Han Yue'er's sharp gaze and harsh interrogation, he was ultimately unable to resist the condemnation of his conscience and ultimately confessed his crimes.

Not only did he admit to participating in the evil deeds that year, he also recalled the lost little girl and revealed that although they failed to capture her, they learned her later hiding place.

They failed to succeed only because there was always someone closely guarding the little girl.

As for the specific address, his memory is vague because it has been a long time.

However, he mentioned that there is a ledger in his home that records every trafficking transaction in detail, including the buyer's information, transaction price, and even records of victims like the little girl who escaped and were found in a new location.

As long as we find that account book, perhaps we can uncover the secret that has been hidden for many years and find out the true whereabouts of our grandmother.

Han Yue'er gritted her teeth, secretly on guard, and resolutely followed the strange man into his residence.

The night was as dark as ink, and there was a strange smell in the cold wind, as if foreshadowing that what was waiting for her ahead was not ordinary.

Her steps were firm, but she could not hide the worry in the depths of her eyes. After all, the world is dangerous and people's hearts are unpredictable.

However, she never expected that this step would push her into the abyss of sin carefully woven by the flower-beating gang.

This is a group of unscrupulous people who will stop at nothing to carry out their dirty trafficking business. All kinds of sinister and vicious means emerge one after another like ghosts.

Among them, the most frightening thing is the mysterious drugs in their hands.

They knew very well that their crimes were so heinous that sooner or later they would attract the iron fist of the government or the vengeance of the victims' relatives and friends. Therefore, they cleverly created a secret communication method that only they could decipher.

Once they realize that their opponent is powerful, they will use the intricate tunnel system to disappear without a trace like ghosts.

However, if only one or two people come to provoke them, they will show a more brutal side and will not hesitate to kill them.

As soon as Han Yue'er stepped into the seemingly ordinary door, a cold fragrance suddenly hit her in the face. Before she could be alert, a black mist of drugs poured down like a torrential rain, instantly enveloping her.

She instinctively wanted to use her unrivaled female martial arts skills to fight back, but the drug was so potent that in just a moment, the world before her eyes fell into chaos. Her body collapsed like a fallen leaf, and her consciousness gradually sank into the abyss of darkness in the severe dizziness.

Although King Jingxuan had long seen through the complexity of the situation and dispatched two highly skilled and loyal secret guards to secretly protect Han Yue'er, they were faced with such a cunning gang of beggars with martial arts masters hidden within their ranks, and they knew that the slightest carelessness might alert the enemy and put Han Yue'er in greater danger.

So they observed quietly in the dark, acted cautiously, and waited for the best time to rescue.

Until the news reached King Jingxuan's ears, this wise and decisive king no longer hesitated. He launched a thunderous attack, leading a group of elite troops to attack Paihuazi's lair like a hurricane, vowing to rescue the trapped Han Yueer.

At this moment, Duke Dingguo, who had already left the capital, was still completely unaware of this matter. Because his injuries had not yet healed, he was under house arrest and recuperating, and had no idea of ​​any changes in the outside world.

Pei Yu was also clueless about this. Although he was concerned about Han Yue'er's safety, Sheng Junwei shut him out with a tough attitude. He could only worry alone and was unable to intervene in the matter.

As for Sheng Junwei herself, although she was a person of destiny, she was unable to see Han Yueer's current situation due to the arrangement of fate. She did not pay much attention to it and was only immersed in her own troubles.

Sheng Junwei yearns for a quiet life, always maintains a non-confrontational attitude, and tries her best to avoid being involved in other people's emotional entanglements.

Faced with all kinds of difficulties in the world, she relies on her wisdom and composure, and most of the time she can easily resolve them and just laugh them off.

Her current identity is like a natural magnet, attracting attention and entanglements from all sides, making it impossible to avoid it.

Sheng Junwei can always deal with the trivial challenges and minor frictions in daily life with a detached attitude.

But in the midst of all this turmoil, there was one thing that made her unhappy.

They are the extremely powerful nobles who always demand others to bow down and use kneeling as a symbol of submission.

She is willing to kneel down and worship Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, her parents and her teachers with a pious heart, because that is the respect and admiration that comes from her heart.

But she really disdained Prince Jingxuan, a hypocritical person who appeared to be kind and moral on the surface but was actually obsessed with love affairs between men and women.

In her previous life, she had helped Zheng Yiyang to travel the world. By the time he became extremely powerful, his status was far beyond the reach of King Jingxuan.

At that time, as a princess of a different surname and a lady of the first rank, she did not need to bow her head and show weakness to anyone except the emperor and the empress.

Now thinking about the future, if one day she was forced to kneel before Prince Jingxuan because of following the rules, she couldn't help but feel her stomach churning.
