Su Nan had never seen Su Jin with this expression before. If his older brother wasn't so angry, he wouldn't have ignored him completely.

Jiang Shuyue almost fainted when she heard the news. She was extremely anxious but to no avail. She forced herself to calm down.

Someone was sent to inform the palace, but by then the city gates were already closed, so the person must still be in the city tonight.

In less than half an hour, the city's patrol guards received news that Princess Chang Le and a child had been kidnapped by a mysterious carriage.

Upon receiving the news, the Prefect of the Capital led all his officials out in force.

Jiang Shuyue, along with Qiuju, also chased after the direction in which the suspicious carriage had disappeared.

On the Star Gazing Tower, Xiao Jingzhao accompanied the Empress Dowager and Princess Yonghe to admire the moon. After a few cups of fruit wine, the Empress Dowager looked south and murmured, "There's still no news coming back to the capital. I wonder if your father can keep Liang in check?"

Xiao Jingzhao said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, good news will surely come back at the beginning of next month."

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by in the moonlight, and a bodyguard flew over.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Xiao Jingzhao's eyes darkened slightly, and he nodded, saying, "Go to the Imperial Study."

Unless it was something extremely important, the secret guards would never show up at the Star Gazing Tower. Xiang Yang and Xiang Song exchanged a glance and followed the Emperor down to the Star Gazing Tower.

After descending from the Star Gazing Tower, Xiao Jingzhao dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs around him, leaving only Xiangyang and Xiangsong by his side.

The guards approached and reported that Chang Le and a little boy had gone missing on the street.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingzhao clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, and waved his hand: "Pass down the order, the entire Dark Guard Battalion is to go out and search, leaving no corner unchecked."

After the guards left, Xiao Jingzhao ordered Xiang Yang to lead a team of Imperial Guards out of the palace. Then, he and Xiang Song rose up from the ground and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
