Su Renyi's viciousness did not frighten Mu Junyu in the slightest; instead, it only added a touch of mockery to her face: "I'm just a weak woman, there's nothing I can do. I can't live with a clear conscience, but I can die with one. You can try and see if Su Huiyan will let you go without knowing the whereabouts of the Su family's military seal!"
Mu Junyu's voice wasn't loud, but it was so firm and resolute that no one dared to question what she said.
As expected, Mu Junyu completely controlled Su Renyi with just one sentence.
"I'm warning you one more time, don't touch her. Your mission is to find the real Su family military seal!"
The words Su Huiyan had said to him flashed through his mind again, and Su Renyi's previously high arrogance vanished without a trace.
He absolutely cannot touch her, at least not now!
Watching Su Renyi's departing figure, Mu Junyu's face was full of disdain.
She knew all too well how important the Su family's military tally was to Su Huiyan and Su Renyi. If it weren't for Renzhong's military tally, Su Huiyan wouldn't have kept her alive until today.
I don't know why Su Huiyan suddenly moved her here. Now that she's in a new place, I don't know if she has a chance to escape. However, those old women feed her muscle-weakening powder every day. If she relies on herself, it will probably be very difficult to escape!
I wonder how Ning'er and An'er are doing? They must be looking for her all along. I wonder if she will ever have the chance to see these two children again in this lifetime.
However, she also knew that as long as she did not hand over Renzhong's military tally, she would not die. Once she handed over the military tally, not only would she die, but Ning'er and An'er would also lose their lives!
Therefore, this military tally must never be handed over!
The Holy King's Palace.
"Still haven't found them?" Xuan Yuanzhan asked Ye Yun with a frown.
They finally got some news about Madam Su, but the guards and secret agents searched for several days without finding anything. Not only was Su Xuening restless, but even Xuan Yuanzhan was worried for her.
Ye Yun shook his head in shame: "No, I have searched the entire capital city and its suburbs, but there is still no trace of Madam Su and Su Renyi."
Xuanyuan Zhan frowned deeply: "Why hasn't Su Renyi returned to the capital after so many days? Doesn't he have to attend court?"
They've had the secret guards search for him for days, but they can't find Su Renyi at all; it's as if he's vanished.
Ye Yun was also somewhat helpless: "Didn't the Princess Consort sue Su Renyi before? The Emperor dismissed Su Renyi from his post as commander of the city's guards. Su Renyi now only has a title but no official position, so he doesn't need to attend court."
If he had to attend court, how many days could Su Renyi possibly stay away from the capital?
As Ye Yun spoke, he reassured him, "Your Highness, don't worry too much. Su Renyi can't stay away from the capital forever. He'll come back sooner or later. Now, we've secured all four city gates. Once he returns to the capital, we'll know his whereabouts immediately."
Once we find Su Renyi, we can track him down to Madam Su.
Xuan Yuanzhan said irritably, "Continue to send people to search, and have the guards at the city gate keep watch. Report back immediately if there is any trace of Su Renyi!"
"Yes," Ye Yun replied and immediately went to relay the message.
When Xuan Yuanzhan returned to the room, he saw Su Xuening sitting there, looking completely lost, with almost no food on the table.
They usually go to Ningxiang Garden to dine with Bai Fuya, but Su Xuening has clearly not been in the mood these past few days.
Bai Fuya knew about Madam Su's situation, but she didn't insist that they dine with her. Instead, she asked him to spend more time with Su Xuening.
"Is it not to your liking?"
Xuan Yuanzhan walked over and sat down next to Su Xuening.
Su Xuening snapped out of her reverie and looked at Xuan Yuanzhan, asking, "Has Your Highness had your meal?"
"Not yet." Xuan Yuanzhan wasn't really in the mood to eat, but seeing that she hadn't moved much these past few days, he wanted to eat a little more with her: "Have some more with me."
Xuan Yuanzhan served Su Xuening a lot of her favorite foods. Although Su Xuening really didn't have much of an appetite, she understood Xuan Yuanzhan's good intentions and ate some anyway.
That night, the two went to bed together.
Since Mu Junyu's whereabouts were still unknown, neither of them had the mind to think about anything else.
Su Xuening has had great difficulty falling asleep these past few days, and her mind wanders to all sorts of things every day.
Su Xuening finally fell asleep around midnight, but her sleep was extremely restless, and she even had nightmares.
On the battlefield, a valiant general, loyal to his emperor and patriotic, killed countless enemies to protect the peace of the Eastern Chu border, but was murdered by a group of people.
In the dark and damp dungeon, a woman, dressed in rags and covered in blood, was being relentlessly whipped. Her blood flowed everywhere, staining the entire dungeon red.
In the dilapidated cold palace, a woman had just given birth, and the child's heart was ripped out.
The scene shifts, and another young boy is not only violated by Xuan Yuan Yu, but also publicly humiliated by Su Fei Ling and Su Hui Yan, and finally torn apart by five horses.
"Father……"
"Mother……"
"child……"
"Yun'an..."
Su Xuening was covered in sweat and her face was pale as she was trapped in a nightmare from which she could not escape.
Su Xuening has been sleeping very restlessly these past few days, so Xuan Yuanzhan has also been sleeping poorly, keeping a close eye on Su Xuening's condition.
So as soon as he heard the noise around him, Xuan Yuanzhan woke up.
"Su Xuening, wake up." Seeing that Su Xuening was having a nightmare, Xuan Yuanzhan immediately shook her gently, trying to wake her up.
Su Xuening seemed to be startled awake, and suddenly opened her eyes.
"Yun'an..."
"It's me."
Xuan Yuanzhan immediately spoke up, taking a handkerchief to wipe her sweat: "Did you have a nightmare?"
Su Xuening's gaze finally focused, and upon seeing that it was Xuan Yuanzhan, she silently breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness..."
She had nightmares, dreaming of many scenes from her past life. She dreamed of her father, mother, and Yun'an, how they were murdered, and also of her powerlessness and endless helplessness.
In this life, she would never let her mother and Yun'an suffer such harm again, no matter what.
Su Xuening looked at Xuan Yuanzhan wiping her sweat and was somewhat moved: "Thank you, Your Highness, it was just a nightmare."
Knowing that she was worried about her mother, Xuan Yuanzhan gently comforted her, "Don't be too anxious. Our people are guarding the city gate. As soon as Su Renyi appears, our people will be able to follow him and will definitely be able to find your mother."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Su Xuening responded in a muffled voice.
With Xuan Yuanzhan's help, finding his mother is only a matter of time. After all, Su Renyi can't stay away from the capital forever. Once Su Renyi reappears, they will be able to track him down and find his mother.
But no one knows when Su Renyi will return to Kyoto, or what he will do to his mother.
Su Xuening felt even more uneasy, remembering what Su Feiling had said to her before she died in her previous life.
Su Renyi has long coveted his mother, and it is too dangerous for her to stay by his side, so he must find her and rescue her as soon as possible.
