The Imperial Palace.

Su Renyi went directly to Huayang Palace after returning from Pinglan Village.

Because Consort Su was still under house arrest, it took Su Renyi a lot of effort to get into Huayang Palace and see her.

"Your Majesty."

Upon seeing Consort Su, Su Renyi immediately bowed to her.

"So? Did she confess?" Su Fei asked Su Renyi excitedly.

Su Renyi shook his head sheepishly: "Not yet, she's being stubborn!"

Consort Su was instantly disappointed upon hearing this, and frowned as she looked at Su Renyi: "You should know that our time is running out. I entrusted this person to you in the hope that you could find out the whereabouts of the military tally. You must not disappoint me!"

Su Renyi took a deep breath and said, "Your whips are useless. The more those old women whip Mu Junyu, the less likely she is to reveal the whereabouts of the military tally."

"Mu Yunyu is completely impervious to reason, which is why I had those old women whip her a hundred times a day," Consort Su said coldly, then looked at Su Renyi: "What methods do you have?"

Su Renyi hesitated for a moment, then said as if he had made up his mind, "Mu Junyu cares about Su Xuening and Su Yun'an, so we still have to start with Su Xuening and Su Yun'an."

Thinking he had some good idea, Consort Su suddenly frowned: "Mu Junyu's disappearance has already caused quite a stir. If something happens to Su Xuening and Su Yun'an at this time, things will definitely escalate. If it alarms the Emperor, we will all be in big trouble!"

Did he think she hadn't considered it?

It wasn't out of consideration for blood ties; it was simply that Su Xuening and Su Yun'an were untouchable. Especially Su Xuening—her foolish son was watching her every day. If something really happened to Su Xuening, her son would be the most anxious, and it would definitely cause a huge uproar. If it alarmed the Emperor and brought up the fake military tally, wouldn't they be the ones who suffered?

Even if they really want to take action against Su Xuening and Su Yun'an, they have to wait until they truly come to power. At that time, they will be above everyone else, and no one can suppress them. They can do whatever they want, kill whoever they want, and they won't have to care about anyone else's feelings!

With the siblings united, Su Renyi understood Su Fei's concerns: "I heard that Su Yun'an was sent by Su Xuening to learn martial arts. Now that Su Yun'an is not in the capital, no one will pay attention to him. If we can capture Su Yun'an, we will definitely be able to threaten Mu Junyu."

After thinking about it carefully, Su Fei thought the plan was feasible: "Then I'll leave this to you. Hurry up and catch Su Yun'an; we don't have much time left."

"Yes," Su Renyi replied, then bowed and withdrew.

Upon returning to the Yong'an Marquis's residence, Su Renyi summoned his guards and ordered, "Dispatch everyone out and search for Su Yun'an's whereabouts with all your might."

Jinzhu, who was standing outside the study with a teacup in her hand, heard everything Su Renyi had just said.

It wasn't until the next day, when Jinzhu went out to buy things, that she had the opportunity to send a message to Su Xuening.

At the Holy King's Mansion, Su Xuening frowned when she received the note from Jin Zhu.

"What's wrong?" Xuan Yuanzhan asked with concern when he saw her solemn expression.

“Su Renyi sent people to look for my brother.” Su Xuening glanced at Xuan Yuanzhan and didn’t hide it from him.

Xuanyuan Zhan frowned: "Why is he looking for your brother again? Is it related to your mother?"

Su Xuening was also worried that it might be related to her mother.

Su Renyi must have come back from his mother's place. The fact that he immediately went to find Yun'an upon his return suggests that it is most likely related to his mother.

Seeing Su Xuening's worried expression, Xuan Yuanzhan asked again, "I still don't understand why Su Renyi kidnapped your mother."

If his only goal was to seize everything from the Yong'an Marquis's residence, then he has clearly failed. Although he still holds the title of Yong'an Marquis, he has gained nothing else.

Since they can't gain any advantage, why bother holding onto Su Xuening's mother?

Su Xuening glanced at Xuan Yuanzhan but did not offer any explanation.

Few people knew that Su Renyi and Su Huiyan were using fake Su family military tokens, and she didn't want to tell him yet.

She didn't know what kind of person he was. If he also coveted the Su family's military seal, the three of them would only bring themselves a greater disaster.

The matter of the Su family's military seal must never be mentioned!

She can't say anything until she sees through his true nature and character!

"I don't know either, but Su Renyi wants to capture Yun An, definitely to threaten Mother. Perhaps Mother has some secret or something they want," Su Xuening said ambiguously.

"I see!" Xuan Yuanzhan frowned, giving Su Xuening a deep look, already guessing that she wasn't telling the truth.

There might be some secret he can't know. After all, they haven't been married long, and she doesn't trust him that much yet, which is normal. He himself has secrets he hasn't told her either!

"Isn't Yun'an learning martial arts right now? Is that place safe?"

"It's very safe. As long as Yun'an doesn't come out, no one can catch him." Su Xuening was quite confident about Su Yun'an's safety.

Few people in the world can solve the mechanisms in the Stone Forest and the Ink Bamboo Forest, and with Master protecting Yun An, they can't catch him.

Xuanyuan Zhan was relieved upon hearing this: "Since Yun'an is not in danger, there is no rush. Our primary task now is to rescue your mother."

"Mm." Su Xuening nodded.

He's right. Once they rescue their mother, they probably won't want to capture Yun'an anymore, and even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to.

“Let’s wait a little longer. I promise you, as long as Su Renyi goes to find your mother, we will definitely be able to find her.” Xuan Yuanzhan comforted Su Xuening.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Su Xuening bowed to him gratefully.

Xuanyuan Zhan quickly helped her up: "Don't be so polite with me."

Su Xuening looked at Xuan Yuanzhan, unsure of what to say.

Fortunately, he has been by her side these days. He has been helping her find her mother and comforting her.

She believed him; she was certain that if Su Renyi went to find her mother again, he would be able to help her find her.

But the waiting days are just too hard to bear!

Three more days passed.

Xuanyuan Zhan and Su Xuening did not wait for Su Renyi to leave the capital.

Meanwhile, Su Renyi also failed to find Su Yun'an's whereabouts.

Five days later, then three more days passed, and Su Xuening simply couldn't wait any longer.

Xuan Yuanzhan went out early in the morning, while Su Xuening went to see Bai Shi, saying she wanted to visit Su Yun'an.

Bai had no objections and even allowed her to spend more time with her younger brother.

This time, Su Xuening did not bring Green Lotus and Green Lotus, but only Ye Yu and Ye Xue, and left the Holy King's Mansion in a carriage.

When Xuan Yuanzhan returned, Su Xuening was no longer in the room: "Where is the Princess?"

"The Princess Consort has gone to see the young master," Bihe hurriedly reported.

"Impossible! She couldn't possibly be going to see her brother at this time!" Xuan Yuanzhan exclaimed, realizing something. "When did she leave?"
