When Sang Yan arrived at Yunshuang Courtyard, she saw Wanqing and Wanting crying their eyes out. Her heart sank immediately.

This is clearly something wrong.

She pulled Wan Ting aside and whispered, "Sister Wan Ting, what's wrong?"

When Wan Ting saw him, it was like seeing her pillar of support. She sobbed as she spoke, "Third Miss! Third Miss, something terrible has happened! Our Ladyship and the Imperial Noble Consort have both disappeared!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sang Yan felt her legs go weak and she almost sat down on the ground.

She looked at the two of them in disbelief: "You mean... Eldest sister and fourth sister are missing?"

While crying, Wan Ting grabbed her hand as if looking for a foothold. She nodded frantically: "Yes, as soon as we came in, we saw several men in black grabbing the Imperial Concubine and the Noble Consort and running away."

Sang Yan was momentarily speechless, staring at the two of them intently.

After a long while, Xiuxiu gently tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Miss, the Emperor... is still waiting."

Sang Yan then realized what was happening. She nodded and muttered to herself, "Yes, yes, the Emperor is here."

Upon hearing that the Emperor had arrived, Wanqing and Wanting exchanged a glance: "Third Miss, let's go find the Emperor quickly."

"Okay." Sang Yan nodded blankly.

She was now fully aware of the gravity of the situation; if anything happened to the two ladies in the Sang family, the Sang family would be finished.

Thinking about it, she quickened her pace.

forecourt.

Sang Hongfu didn't dare to utter a sound while looking at Long Jingchen.

Upon seeing Sang Yan and the others, he was so excited that he almost cried.

He felt he was going to die if he were left alone in that environment any longer.

Upon seeing Long Jingchen, Wanqing and Wanting immediately knelt on the ground and said in unison, "This servant greets Your Majesty."

"explain."

Wan Ting glanced at the trembling Wan Qing, took a deep breath, and said softly, "Your Majesty, we were ordered by the two ladies to fetch some refreshments for them. However, as soon as we entered, we saw several black men carrying the ladies away. Kou'er tried to stop them but was stabbed by the men in black and has been taken away for treatment."

"Men in black?" Long Jingchen looked at the two men with a terrifyingly dark expression.

He sent so many people, so why were there still people who managed to take them away?

Wan Ting nodded.

Long Jingchen ignored them and simply summoned the guards outside.

The guards felt their blood freeze when they saw Long Jingchen's expression.

"Your Majesty, this subordinate greets you." The guard gritted his teeth and knelt down on one knee.

Long Jingchen stared at him without saying a word.

He frowned slightly, unable to understand what Long Jingchen was thinking, so he simply spoke up: "When we were protecting the two empresses, we noticed something amiss and immediately gave chase, but who knew we had fallen into the enemy's trap..."

Long Jingchen: "Could you possibly figure out who the other person is?"

The guard thought for a moment, then hesitated before speaking, "The opponent's moves do seem somewhat like those of the Dark Tribe."

Upon hearing this, Long Jingchen immediately frowned: "The Dark Tribe?"

They always do things for money, and they'll take any job, no matter what it is. If Sang Jiang and her companion fall into the hands of the Dark Tribe, things will probably get complicated.

He glanced at the guards and pursed his lips: "You can handle it yourselves."

After saying that, he turned and left.

The guard secretly breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the man's departing figure...

He looked at his palm, took a deep breath, and got up to leave...
