The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Chu Heyi took the Anyuan Marquis' wife from the maid and wanted to pick her up himself, but Shu Xiao stopped him: "Let me do it."

Chu Heyi said resolutely: "Help me put her on the horse, I will take her home personally."

Shu Xiao pursed his lips, not knowing how to comfort her, so he had to cooperate with Chu Heyi and help the wife of Marquis Anyuan onto the horse.

Chu Heyi then mounted the horse, rode behind the wife of Marquis Anyuan, and secured her in front of him.

Chu Heyi squeezed the horse's belly and gave a soft "go!", and Benxiao raised his horse's hooves and trotted off towards Shengjing City.

Two maids trotted after Benxiao.

There were moats on both sides of the road ahead. The water was flowing slowly, and under the light of the fire, the water looked dark and steep.

The wind blew across the water, and a damp and cold breath hit my face on that spring night.

Chu Heyi held the wife of Marquis Anyuan in one hand and pulled the reins tightly with the other hand. The gate of Shengjing City was right in front of him.

But suddenly, the horse Benxiao under him let out a terrible neigh and went crazy. The wife of Marquis Anyuan fell straight off the horse. Chu Heyi reached out to rescue her without thinking.

The dead wife of Marquis Anyuan fell to the ground like a huge rock. When Chu Heyi caught her, her wounds were badly torn and she was dizzy with pain. In addition, the mad horse was out of control, and she and the wife of Marquis Anyuan were thrown off the horse together.

Shu Xiao, who was not far behind, was startled when he saw this and rushed forward to check the situation.

But a shocking scene appeared. A maid who came with the wife of Marquis Anyuan actually picked up Chu Heyi and jumped into the moat! !

The body of the wife of Marquis Anyuan was abandoned on the ground.

Shu Xiao chased after them and wanted to catch them, but he could only watch their bodies fall into the moat. The red hem of Chu Heyi's dress slipped directly through his palm.

Everything happens in a flash of lightning.

The river surface was splashed with colorful water, and then it returned to complete silence. Shu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and sweat poured down like rain. He ordered: "Go save the Crown Princess!"

Without waiting for others to react, Shu Xiao jumped into the moat to look for Chu Heyi.

The people guarding the city gates also responded quickly and joined in the search and rescue.

The river water was freezing cold late at night in spring, but the river was not very wide and the current was not fast. In theory, it would be easy to find it if someone jumped in.

Shu Xiao was the first to jump in, but he had searched both on the river surface and under the water nearby, and not only did he not find Chu Heyi, he didn't even see the trace of the maid.

People were looking for him both on the surface of the river and under the water, but there was no trace of him at all.

Shu Xiao was pulled ashore by the guards. Looking at the people busy searching nearby, his heart sank. He was afraid that Chu Heyi was no longer under the water and had been transferred away long ago.

Who was it? Who was it that coordinated with the maidservant of Anyuan Hou's wife to transfer the people away so quickly?

What kind of force is it that can fish in troubled waters in today's chaos? That force must not be underestimated.

It couldn't possibly be the power of the Cheng Wang couple, could it? All their strength was used to escape.

But excluding them, who else could it be?

Shu Xiao had many bad premonitions in his heart, and his face was extremely cold. He quickly expanded the scope of his search and did not let go of any suspicious persons. He also sent people to surround the Anyuan Marquis Mansion, hoping to find clues from the background of the maid and the people she came into contact with.

The sky gradually brightened. Shu Xiao did not dare to delay and quickly went into the palace to report the matter to Xie Lin.

Xie Lin hardly slept that night. There were too many people and too many things for him to deal with. Before he finished, it was already dawn.

He already knew that the Eighth Prince and Princess Pingyang had been sent back to the palace one after another, and was waiting for Chu Heyi and Shu Xiao to return.

As a result, now that he only saw Shu Xiao, he knew something was wrong. He took a deep breath and suppressed the surging blood: "Speak slowly."

Shu Xiao knelt down and told the whole story. "It happened in a split second. I was only ten feet away from the Crown Princess at the time. But when I rushed over, it was too late. I immediately jumped into the river to look for them, but there was no trace of them in the water."

Shu Xiao blamed himself and was very angry: "I initially suspected that there must have been many people under the water and at the city gate who were supporting the maid. We were busy dealing with and hunting down King Cheng and his wife, and ignored that force, so they took the opportunity to kidnap the Crown Princess."

Xie Lin had been weak since childhood. He finally recovered and was seriously ill. But last year, he took the blame for Chu Heyi and was seriously injured.

He has been working extremely hard over the past six months, and after last night's "fight", he is now at the end of his strength.

He had been waiting for Chu Heyi's return, but when he suddenly heard the news, even though he had prepared himself mentally before Shu Xiao spoke, he still couldn't control his blood boiling and he vomited blood.

His tall figure swayed even more, and Wangshan hurriedly supported him so that he did not fall to the ground.

Shu Xiao reached out his hand to him, wanting to say something to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say, so he remained silent.

Wangshan helped Xie Lin sit down on the chair. Xie Lin's face was pale, and his lips were bloodless. His breathing was disordered and weak. He held the armrest of the chair tightly with one hand, and his knuckles were white.

"Before the Crown Princess left the palace, I arranged for Zhou Mochi to bring people to protect her. Where is Zhou Mochi now?" Xie Lin asked.

"Zhou Mochi?" Shu Xiao frowned. "I haven't seen Zhou Mochi. Has he left the palace? He has never come to join us."

Xie Lin immediately thought of Zhou Mochi's identity as the prince of Northern Zhou. His eyes turned cold and he said indifferently, "Take your men to find Zhou Mochi. I want to make sure where he is right now. Also, ask General Wen Ce to take people to watch over Song Wuxi and Sang Nong. No one is allowed to contact them before the Crown Princess is found."

Shu Xiao was horrified and immediately responded, "I'll go right away!"

After Shu Xiao took the order and left, Xie Lin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Wangshan, bring the people from Anyuan Marquis' Mansion into the palace. I will interrogate them personally."

Wang Shan said, "Your Highness, you have not slept all night. You must take care of yourself before the Crown Princess returns. It is not a bad idea to hand over the people from Anyuan Marquis's Mansion to Lord Wen for trial."

Xie Lin said: "Before she was abducted, she was seriously injured, which gave the maid an opportunity to take advantage of her. She doesn't have much time. I must find her as quickly as possible."

Wangshan sighed and had to order someone to bring the wife of Marquis Anyuan into the palace. At this time, Xie Lin was unable to get up, so he could only sit in a sedan chair to go to the Zicheng Hall to personally interrogate the people in Marquis Anyuan's mansion.

When he arrived at the entrance of Zichen Palace, Shu Xiao sent someone to deliver new news: "Shortly after Zhou Mochi left the palace last night, he disappeared."
