"The king...the prince..."

The egret appeared out of nowhere, lowered its head, and faced the furious Xie Zhan in fear.

But the oriole was nowhere to be seen.

Xie Zhan was not stupid and knew that something might have happened to Mingxiu when he saw such a scene.

But he still asked patiently again.

Always ask for clarification.

The egret did not dare to raise its head and said tremblingly: "Princess... Oh no, the princess asked the slave and oriole to wait for the prince at the door. Just now a little girl said that she was delivering food to the princess at the prince's order. Where is the princess? The slave is

I really don’t know.”

She was no less anxious than Xie Zhan.

Not just because of concern and loyalty to Mingxiu.

It's more because she is the girl next to Mingxiu. If anything happens to Mingxiu, her life will definitely not be easy.

He cautiously raised his head and glanced at Xie Zhan. He was startled by the sinister look on his face and didn't dare to look any further.

Although Bailu was Mingxiu's personal maid, she was not familiar with the palace, so the questioning ended here, and Xie Zhan did not embarrass her.

"I will send someone to find the oriole. You two should stay in this yard and don't wander around."

After giving a faint order, no matter what the egret's reaction was, Xie Zhan turned his face and left.

The egret breathed a sigh of relief.

In addition to Xie Zhan, what happened today was personally coordinated and carefully coordinated by the newly appointed housekeeper. This time Mingxiu disappeared, he had to ask the housekeeper if he knew about the situation.

At the same time, when he learned that Mingxiu was missing, he had already sent someone to ask questions.

Where Mingxiu is, apart from herself, there should be only those people who are with her to protect her.

Facing the furious Xie Zhan, the housekeeper had the same two quarrels.

It would be a huge sin to lose the princess on the prince’s wedding day!

If Xie Zhan wanted to pursue the case, it would not be an exaggeration to kill him with a thousand knives.

Fortunately, Xie Zhan has no intention of asking guilt now.

There is nothing more important than finding Mingxiu as soon as possible.

…

Mingxiu woke up in confusion, and her eyes were filled with darkness.

After a brief period of confusion, she quickly realized that she might have been kidnapped.

Blinking my eyes, I didn't do it right away.

Instead, he maintained the same posture as when he was in chaos, while secretly looking at the situation around him.

Although……

Nothing can be seen.

You can't see your fingers here. Although she doesn't know how long she has been asleep and whether it is day or night, Mingxiu is sure that she is in a closed environment without windows.

Who could have caught her?

Cui? Or Shu Wenqi?

Probably not, neither of them has the ability to compete with Xie Zhan, at least that's what it seems on the surface.

If that's the case, then they don't have the guts to kidnap her openly.

Mingxiu's heart sank, it was always a bad feeling not knowing his opponent.

Before she could think clearly, she was suddenly radiant.

The light came too suddenly, and she couldn't adapt to it, so she subconsciously closed her eyes to relax.

"Hey, the princess is awake?"

What hits your ears is a male voice as gentle as jade.

His voice seemed very kind, but Mingxiu would not be so stupid as to think that this person was a real gentleman just because of this.

With the light behind him, Mingxiu couldn't see clearly his appearance, and could only vaguely see his figure.

But this time it allowed her to observe the environment she was in.

This was a stone house with no windows, and the door he came in through was also tightly sealed. It seemed that it was not a normal door, but...

Blocked with a big stone.

"Who are you?"

Such an environment did not make Mingxiu panic, because it was useless to panic now. She quickly calmed down, ignoring the dazzling light, and stared at the man's outline...

"She is indeed Xie Zhan's princess. She is very courageous." The visitor did not answer Mingxiu's words. Although he could not see his eyes clearly, Mingxiu still felt that he was looking at her.

The man seemed to be very interested. He walked forward slowly and stared at Mingxiu's face for a while, "What does Xie Zhan like in you?"

While pacing, Mingxiu felt a great sense of oppression.

Instantly, she felt suffocated.

Mingxiu pursed her lips and said nothing.

He secretly guessed this person's purpose.

Kidnapping her on her wedding day was more than just wanting to disgust Xie Zhan.

She didn't speak, and the man wasn't annoyed either. He patted her head with his big hand, as if comforting a pet, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Does he believe what he said?

Mingxiu smiled noncommittally and did not answer.

A loud sound suddenly penetrated the quiet and panic-stricken room. If you distinguish carefully, it seemed to be the sound of weapons clashing.

Before the thoughts in her mind could change, Mingxiu's eyes lit up.

She wanted to shout to attract people, and they were probably Xie Zhan's people.

Came to save her!

The man seemed to be aware of Mingxiu's thoughts, pinched her chin, and his temperament suddenly became fierce, "Be honest!"

He threw her heavily onto the stone bed, making a muffled sound when her bones touched the bed board.

Mingxiu couldn't help but groaned, her face suddenly turned pale. Due to the pain, thin cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her arm seemed... dislocated.

No one cares about her life or death. For men, as long as Mingxiu is alive, that's all.

She was injured and had no energy, but she was better controlled than when she was healthy.

Her cold eyes fell on Mingxiu, as if what she saw in front of her was not a human life, but just... an ant.

Realizing that the other party did not put her life in his eyes, Mingxiu panicked for the first time.

She and Xie Zhan have gone through ups and downs, but she still cannot remain indifferent in the face of life and death.

After all, Mingxiu is just an ordinary person, and there is no way he can put life and death aside.

I wanted to call for help, but my throat seemed to be blocked and I couldn't make any sound.

"Knock her out!"

When several strong men approached her, Mingxiu found an opportunity and screamed out in pain.

"let me go!"

The shrill shouting lasted for just a moment, and Mingxiu lost consciousness again.

It's because she's too weak.

At the moment before she lost consciousness, Mingxiu realized deeply that she was just a weak woman with no strength, and she was no different from the woman who could only rely on her family to survive at this time.

"Master, what should I do with this woman?" The strong man kneeled down on one knee respectfully and asked.

"This is a good bargaining chip." He stroked his chin gently and looked at Mingxiu with a playful look in his eyes, "I wonder...how much price is Xie Zhan willing to pay for her?"

No one answered him, and he didn't need to answer.

The noise suddenly became louder, and the strong man's expression changed, "Master, their people have invaded! Let's leave quickly!"

Although this stone house is strong, it cannot withstand continuous attacks. The three or two people in the house have no way to protect their master Zhou Quan from Xie Zhan.
