The next morning, someone found a letter on the ground in front of the main gate and opened it to take a look. After a shock, he didn't dare delay any longer and quickly delivered it to Head Steward.

At that time, not even the sky was bright. Morong Gan had just woken up and Qi Hong was washing her face. Hao Pingguan stood at the side, trying his best to sound calm, "My prince, the gate has received a letter saying that the wangfei has been robbed, let us collect silver from the mansion to go change."

Qi Hong sucked in a deep breath. Lv He was also deeply surprised, the two of them had been working for a long time, but Morong Gan was the calmest. There was not a single ripple on his face, and his expression was bland, "Where's the letter?

Hao Pingguan respectfully accepted the letter. On a rough piece of jute paper, he wrote a line of crooked words: Princess Chu is in our hands.

He knew about 20 miles west of the city, and the Ox-Head Mountains were called by their name. There was a village at the foot of the mountain, and that was the name of the village. Was this the village of Ox-Head Mountain, or the mountain that was so tall that it could pierce the clouds?

Morong Gan placed the letter on the table and asked, "Did the princess not come back yesterday?"

Hao Pingguan's heart jumped, before she could reply, Qi Hong had already opened his mouth: "Yesterday, I sent the little girl to ask about it at Moon Reaching Pavilion, the servant girl over there couldn't explain it clearly, I wonder if wangfei replied, or not?"

Morong Gan snorted lightly, "Alright then, since I'm used to it, I'll appear and disappear without a trace."

Hao Pingguan said, "My prince, this servant has sent people to check the Moon Reaching Pavilion again. It's still early, maybe Princess Hua-Yang has not woken up yet."

Morong Gan muttered to himself for a moment, "Tell Jia Tong to go take a look, does he know where wangfei usually goes?"

Jia Tong was standing at the door, upon hearing this, he immediately responded and quickly went to the backyard. He was also worried about Bai Qianfan, because if the criminals truly took her away, as a girl, she would only know a few flowery moves and would definitely suffer.

was anxious, he just happened to see a little girl rubbing her eyes as she rushed towards the latrine. Seems like she was not fully awake, he did not care, and grabbed her, allowing her to lead the way to Bai Qianfan's house. When he opened the door, there was no one inside. The bedding was neatly folded on the bed, as if no one had slept there before. He hurriedly ran out again. He explored the Bright Lake, the rear garden, the small hill, and even the empty courtyards one by one.

He thought for a bit, then went back to the front yard. The kitchen was making breakfast, which was extremely hot, and a few servants who had come early with Food Box were waiting at the side of the hallway. He took a close look, but without Bai Qianfan, his heart sank.

When he went back to report, Qi Hong's face was pale. He knelt down and begged, "Master, you have to save my wife!"

Morong Gan remained expressionless as he adjusted the jade pendant on his waist and said, "If you have the time and time to kneel, why don't you help me arrange breakfast."

Qi Hong had no choice but to get up and go to the side hall to set up his breakfast. Everyone thought that Morong Gan would have something to say, so they just stood at the side and waited. But Morong Gan slowly finished his breakfast and, as usual, brought Jia Tong and Ning Jiu up to the meeting.

Qi Hong paused and wanted to chase out, but was stopped by Lv He who silently shook his head at her.

Although the Prince Chu did not say anything, his attitude was very clear, he did not want to bother with this matter.

Qi Hong sighed in grief and her eyes slowly turned red. Lv He comforted her, "What's there to be anxious about, with the clever way we are, we won't suffer much. Who knows, maybe we'll just run back by ourselves."

Three horses came out of the gate, but they didn't run. Three handsome faces were equally silent, their hooves clattering on the quiet street.

Ning Jiu was a rigid person. Although he had accidentally injured Bai Qianfan that day, as the executioner, he had taught those kitchen girls a lesson and wrote off the debt he felt he owed. Whatever happened to Little Princess had nothing to do with him.

Bai Qianfan called him master, gave him a kowtow, and paid him the fee to become her disciple, he felt that she had a responsibility to her, now that his disciple was in trouble, as her master, he should be able to take responsibility, but every day, he would stay by the side of Prince Chu, unable to leave, feeling anxious and helpless.

Morong Gan was pondering over what had happened yesterday in the palace. The moment he woke up, he regretted it immediately, and felt that he shouldn't have stood up for Bai Qianfan. The Madame Bai and Bai Qianfan were not on good terms, this was a family matter for the Prime Minister Bai, there was no need for him to interfere, was it not good to let them bite? She was just a person who hadn't been here for long, why bother getting involved?

If he did not intervene, the robbers would definitely find Prime Minister Bai's Mansion to redeem them. Prime Minister Bai was her father, he would definitely not ignore her and take her in as his wife, so as to avoid him finding a good name to chase his out of the house in the future.

Fortunately, he did not bring her to see the Grand Consort yesterday. Otherwise, if he were to stir up a ruckus, even if he did not want to go and fetch her, the palace would have forced him to do so.

Bai Qianfan didn't know how she got to the middle of the mountain. The meandering mountain road spiraled upwards, as if there was no end to it, but she finally saw a family. It was a small farmyard.

The woman turned around to look at her. She was abnormally beautiful, with a graceful figure. Although she was wearing coarse clothes, her eyebrows were pasted with white silk. When she took a closer look, it turned out to be a red mole instead of a white one. The woman's eyes were beautiful, clear as jade and deep like water. She smiled sweetly at her. "Ah'baby, you're back."

Bai Qianfan was baffled, "I am not an infant, my name is Bai Qianfan. Since the mountain is lost, can I come in and ask for some water?"

The woman didn't seem to hear her words as she amiably called out, "Ah'baby, what are you standing at the door for? Come in quickly and come to mother."

Bai Qianfan was puzzled, could this woman be an idiot? She was only 18 or 19 years old, how could she give birth to a girl this big? And why did he keep calling her A'Ying? She clearly wasn't A'Ying, okay?

The courtyard door automatically opened, and she couldn't help but walk in. The woman went up to hold her hand, which felt soft and delicate. It didn't look like the woman's hand in the mountain at all. She could smell a fragrance, a faint and delicate fragrance that came from a woman's body. Unexpectedly, it made her feel somewhat familiar.

The woman pulled her into her arms, stroking her back like she was a child, and muttered, "Baby, it's good that you're back."

Bai Qianfan was flustered by her actions and pushed her away. When she opened his eyes and found herself lying on the bed, she realized that it was a dream. She tiredly closed her eyes, then quickly opened them and jumped up.

Where is this?
