"Just that?" Situ Yao didn't believe it. The Third Princess threatened to commit suicide, and Concubine Bai came to attack him. It was too hasty.
The man in black nodded. "Noble Concubine Bai wants to use you to test the Fifth Princess. If the Fifth Princess is truly ill, then even if you, the Crown Prince, die, she will be powerless to do anything. Regardless of the truth, they will definitely win. But if the Fifth Princess is not ill, she will definitely find a way to see you. When the time comes, the marriage will belong to her."
Situ Yao's eyes turned cold, and the man in black hurriedly said, "Your Highness, don't worry. In order to convince the Emperor, I have blocked all news. The Fifth Princess is currently recuperating peacefully and will never appear in the Imperial Mausoleum."
Situ Yao was finally satisfied and said to him, "I have entrusted the Fifth Princess' affairs to you. You must protect her. Even if anything happens to me, you must protect her for the rest of her life. Do you understand?"
The man in black kowtowed and said, "I swear on my life that I will protect the princess."
Just as he finished speaking, the man in black suddenly looked out the window, shot out a dart, and heard a woman's scream.
The man in black went out and dragged someone in after a while. It was Hongdou who was beside Cui Mixue.
"Let me go, you ungrateful little people."
Hongdou's arm was injured, her eyes were full of tears and she was shaking constantly.
“Sir, do you want to…” The man in black made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Situ Yao shook his head slightly and asked Hongdou, "What are you doing sneaking outside my window in the middle of the night?"
Hongdou was stunned and trembled as she said, "My...my lady is worried about you. She asked me to come and see if you are okay."
Situ Yao certainly didn't believe it. He glanced at the man in black, who struck Hongdou on the injured arm, causing her to scream miserably: "How can you be so cruel? I will definitely tell my young lady and have her teach you a lesson."
The man in black laughed angrily. Situ Yao raised his eyebrows. Where did this idiot come from? He spoke so self-righteously.
"What are you laughing at? My family is the Longxi Cui family. Even the current emperor has to show respect to us." The little girl was ignorant of the immensity of the world and had no idea that the person in front of her was also of inestimable value.
Situ Yao was just about to ask the men in black to take her away when he suddenly heard a noise from the next room. The men in black immediately went over to check.
The room was in a mess - Su Mengyan was gone.
Situ Yao's expression was uglier than ever before. He stared at Hongdou intently and said, "Tell me, who kidnapped my people?"
Anko shuddered, "I don't know what you're talking about."
The man in black drew his sword and cut a gash on Hongdou's other arm: "Speak!"
Hongdou burst into tears: "It was the young master. He saw Miss Su and fell in love with her. He insisted that I bring him here to catch her, otherwise he would sell me."
Situ Yao was extremely angry: "Feng Yi, bring the person back unharmed."
Feng Yi didn't dare to refute and went to rescue people immediately.
Hongdou thought she was fine, but two men in black came in from outside the door, knocked her unconscious and dragged her out.
When Cui Mixue got the news, she wanted to stab this useless brother to death with a knife.
"Master, please believe me. I never asked the maid to do such a stupid thing. She did all this on her own initiative. Please don't bear a grudge against me."
Cui Mixue brought people to apologize, but she never expected that the good impression she had left after trying every possible means to save people was ruined by her stupid brother.
The person he offended was the Crown Prince!
Situ Yao carefully examined Cui Mixue, his suspicions growing more profound. "Miss Cui, when did your brother meet my maid?"
Didn’t she say that she brought her maid to copy scriptures for her deceased mother, and that there were only the master and servants?
When did this younger brother appear?
"this……."
Cui Mixue was also very annoyed. This younger brother was born to her stepmother, and they were born from the womb, so their relationship had never been close.
Today he had made an appointment with a group of friends to go out and play, and somehow they ended up at Longshan Temple.
I don't know when he saw Su Mengyan, but he had evil thoughts and forced her maid to help him rob people. He was so bold and it really hurt her.
"Master, my brother made a mistake, please punish him. I didn't discipline him strictly, and I will never ask for mercy." Cui Mixue wanted to pour out her heart, but Situ Yao's face was still ugly.
After waiting for half the night, Feng Yi finally rescued the person and captured a few people. In addition to Cui Mixue's younger brother, there were also several familiar children from aristocratic families.
