At this moment, "sou" sounds were heard from downstairs in the tea house as a dozen armed bandits disguised as customers of the tea house.

Those people were approaching aggressively, and they started to fight with Shen Liang. Shen Liang had no time to do anything, and immediately shouted towards Qiu Yin, "Protect the Young Master and leave!"

Qiu Yin did not hesitate, she and Lu Yi protected Xiao Ruyue and wanted to escape.

But there were a lot of people, and each of them were skilled, with a clear goal, to stare at Xiao Ruyue.

On their side, other than Shen Liang and Qiu Ci who knew martial arts, there were still Wang Shangshu who did not know martial arts and Du Ziheng who had no way to take care of Xiao Ruyue. If they ignored it, they would be implicated.

The Julin teahouse was in chaos.

He took out his whistle and blew it with his head. That unique sound could be heard from the clamor, and suddenly, the bandits that rushed out heard the whistle and the leader shouted, "Not good!" before giving the order to end the battle quickly.

The vicious people began to grow fierce.

On Xiao Ruyue's side, there were only Shen Liang and Qiu Ci who were protecting him, but there were one, two, three, four, and five who were unarmed.

At the critical moment, about ten people rushed out from the Taibai Lou next door. They were all dressed in royal blue robes, with masks and swords in their hands.

He was undoubtedly the person from the blueprint of the Herba Phoenixis.

The two sides began to fight, but the two sides refused to give up. Taking advantage of the time when Qiu Ci's clone was flawless, Du Ziheng was about to attack his from behind. Seeing this, Du Ziheng immediately pounced forward, but was pushed back by the bandit towards Qiu Yin.

As she dodged, she also wanted to protect Xiao Ruyue, and beside her was a Wenshansu, causing her hands and feet to be in a mess.

Right at this moment, he gave the evil person an opportunity.

Xiao Ruyue was always under Qiu Ci's protection, but suddenly a hand came over and pulled her over with lightning speed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Wenshansu immediately pulled Xiao Ruyue, and was also brought along.

"Young master!" Only then did Qiu Ci realize that the empress who had been protecting her from behind had been taken away. She hurried to give chase, but two or three people pounced on her, blocking her path. These two or three people were clearly trying to hold her off as she shouted at Shen Liang, "Big brother Shen, gongzi!"

Upon hearing those words, Shen Liang turned around and his face warped in shock.

"Young master!"

After a while, Xiao Ruyue and Wenshansu were surrounded.

When those who had come to assist saw that their mistress had been captured, they also fell into a state of confusion.

It was noisy outside. Many passersby did not know what was going on, but they did not dare to get close. When they saw a fight, they immediately scattered and fled in all directions.

This chaos gave the group of bandits an opportunity. They once again wore their usual clothes, and quickly dispersed into the crowd, disappearing in a few steps.

Qiu Yin and Shen Liang gave chase, but were blocked by a passerby. With this interruption, they could no longer find anyone.

The group of Herba Phoenixis behind him also looked at each other in dismay.

"Where's Young Master!?" Lu Yi's face was pale as she chased after him. She looked around but didn't see anyone, so she fell to the ground.

Du Ziheng and Wang Shangshu also seemed to have woken up from a dream. They looked at the floor of the Ru Lin Tea House that was in a mess and the streets filled with people.

"Situ and Wenshansu have both been captured!"

"Miss Situ and my respected teacher, how could that be? Just who are these people?" Du Ziheng punched his own thigh in frustration, "I'm really useless, I can't even help you, I'm causing trouble instead!"

"Empress!" "If I lose you after going out, how will I explain this to His Majesty and His Majesty?" Lu Yi sat paralyzed on the ground, bawling.

When the Wang Shangshu heard what Du Ziheng and Lu Yi had to say, his expression changed, "Miss Situ, what Empress?"

Du Ziheng was also stunned as he stared blankly at Lu Yi. "That's right, what's the Empress?"

Shen Liang's face was dark, but he didn't want to answer any of his questions. He looked at QiuCi and said, "Let these people chase after them from all directions. When we return, we will ask for your approval."

Autumn Word nodded, almost forgetting this. She turned her head and ordered the people behind her to split up and chase after him. She was determined to find a trace of him.

Wang Shangshu and Du Ziheng both had a stomach full of questions, but whether it was Shen Liang, Lu Yi or Qiu Yin, none of them would answer their questions.

Qiuyin helped Lu Yi into the carriage and they all got into the carriage. Shen Liang drove the carriage and sped off in the direction of the palace.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound of porcelain breaking came out from the imperial study. Yuwen He smacked the table and stood up with an ashen face, "There are so many of you, yet you allowed someone to kidnap the Empress in front of the Taibai Lou!"

The tea cup was forcefully thrown to the side of the door by Yuwen He, and the fragments leaped over the threshold of the imperial study and flew out.

Yu Lin Wei, who was at the door, didn't even dare to breathe.

Shen Liang, Qiu Yin, Lu Yi, Wang Shangshu and Du Ziheng all knelt down. , who was the current vice commander of the Feathered Guard, was also kneeling down as well.

"Your Majesty, Qiu Ci's bodyguards failed to protect him, allowing the empress to be robbed from under his command. Your subordinate deserves to die, and is willing to die to atone for his crimes!" The autumnal lyrics were prostrate on the ground, and even the sound of their voices was exceptionally heavy.

"Hmph, repent with death! So just by dying, the Empress will be able to come back unharmed! " Yuwen He was currently in a rage, his hand holding onto the table, doing his best to restrain himself. The study table was crumbling under his hands, as if it would break down at any moment.

Shen Liang kowtowed to Yuwen He heavily and said, "Your Majesty, the whereabouts of the princess is unknown. Shen Liang requested that Your Majesty seal the city gates to search for the princess. Shen Liang is a bodyguard of the princess. When the princess returns safely, Shen Liang will personally apologize to my emperor! "

"Isn't it too early to say thanks now?" Yuwen He's face was ashen as he ordered Fang Weiyong in a low voice, "Pass down the order, the Empress has been captured by the bandits and the six cities are immediately sealed for further investigation. Chong Yue, bring someone with you to guard the Dragonlight Sect personally, you cannot let any one of these people get away! "

"Understood!"

"Your Majesty, the Empress …" Emmie raised its head. "Your Majesty, the Empress was kidnapped right before Emmie's eyes. Emmie wanted to help search for her as well. Even if it was just a tiny bit of strength!

Yuwen He did not speak, he only faintly nodded his head, and then, Lu Yi kowtowed heavily three times, "Many thanks your majesty, Lu Yi will definitely bring the Empress back!"

Fang Weiyong and Chong Yue hurriedly left. Qiu Yin also kowtowed heavily, then led Lu Yi away.

She had very important things to do. Since the empress had been taken captive and hadn't left the city yet, she could definitely do something about it.

The Wang Shangshu completely understood the doubts in his heart and was so shocked that he could barely kneel down. "That punk Situ … is actually the empress?!"

Du Ziheng's face became even paler, and immediately fell and sat down.

What Young Master Situ, what Miss Situ, was actually the Empress?

No,

He should've thought of it long ago. There was a saying that His Majesty ignored the six palaces and doted on the empress, wishing that he could gift mountains and rivers to the empress. How could His Majesty be so gentle and considerate towards other young ladies besides the empress?

"Your Majesty, Situ … he really is …" The Wang Shangshu straightened up. "This old subject didn't know that it was the Empress, this old subject …"

"The ignorant are not guilty, Wang Shangshu can stand up. "As for Du Hanlin, all of you can go back now. We must keep this a secret from the outside world!" Yuwen He had already calmed down, his entire person shining brilliantly, but he looked even more unfathomable.

Du Ziheng still wanted to say something, but was stopped by the Wang Shangshu. The two of them kowtowed to Yuwen He and left with gloomy expressions.

In the large imperial study room, only Yuwen He was left. He slowly sat back on his chair and felt even more uneasy.

The thing that he had been worried about for a long time had finally happened.

He was not afraid of Qing Xia searching for the Elder Sister Xiao, he was only afraid that she would do something good before he found her.

Elder Sister Xiao, you must not get into trouble, or I will never forgive myself!

Thinking like this, a sweet and fishy feeling welled up in his throat as he hastily vomited out a mouthful of blood.

His vision turned black.

Yuwen He steadied himself, and supported himself with the table as he stood up, and walked out step by step.

No, I can't wait for Chong Yue and the others to find it.

If the Elder Sister Xiao was really kidnapped by the "Quicksand" gang, then the odds were against them. From the time of the accident until now, no one knew if she had been brought out of the city or not.

"Yuwen He, you're courting death!"

Tang Jingzhi's voice suddenly came out. Before Yuwen He could step out of the door, he was pulled back by a force.

He frowned, "Tang Jingzhi, what are you doing?"

"I came here from the Courtyard and heard about someone fighting in the market. As soon as I entered the palace, I ran into Chong Yue and said that the empress had been kidnapped, where are you going to go looking like this?" Tang Jingzhi held his hand tightly.

"To find people, of course." Yuwen He flung him off, "We cannot sit idly by."

However, Tang Jingzhi was not one who would easily compromise, "Didn't I remind you that you shouldn't rashly use your heart's fire, and even more so, you can't forcefully use it? Looking at you, I'm afraid you fell down before you even got out of the palace. What will happen to your precious Elder Sister Xiao s in the future? You don't want to see your child born? "

Yuwen He heard and paused. He glanced at Tang Jingzhi and slowly walked back.

The moment he sat down, he immediately became imposing, "Tang Jingzhi, help me insert a needle."

Tang Jingzhi didn't know whether or not he should go over.

Stagger, where is this?

Xiao Ruyue woke up from her stupor to find that her surroundings were pitch-black. The surrounding space was extremely small, and the moment she stretched her hand out, she touched something that was cold and hard, like a wooden board.

It was like a small wooden chest that could only fit one person. She had no idea what it was, but she could not open it with all her might.

His position was constantly swaying, as if he was being pulled by a horse carriage, moving forward at a steady pace.

"Is there anyone here?" Someone come! " She opened her mouth to shout, but found that no sound could be heard at all.

What was going on? Did she lose her voice?

Xiao Ruyue felt chills run through her body. Suddenly, she remembered the scene before she lost consciousness …
