Chapter 343 I'm Not Done With You
After Xiao Jin and Su Ying left the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, they got on the carriage and left.
However, when the carriage turned a corner away from the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Xiao Jin stopped the carriage.
He placed the sleeping Dabao in Su Ying's hands and said, "You bring the child back first. I will guard outside the Zhenguo Mansion."
Su Ying held Dabao in her arms and nodded with a frown. The reason why they left the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was not because they felt that the person was no longer inside, but because they guessed that the other party might have hidden the person in a place where they could not find him.
So they retreated to advance, letting the other party relax first, and when they had the opportunity to send the person out of the mansion, they would find a way to rescue the person.
The most urgent priority is to get the people out first.
Su Ying nodded, "Be careful."
"kindness."
Xiao Jin responded and jumped off the carriage, his figure quickly disappearing into the darkness.
Su Ying's face became increasingly gloomy as she looked at Dabao who was sleeping soundly in her arms.
After returning to the palace, Su Ying put the sleeping Dabao on the bed and covered him with a quilt, but she couldn't fall asleep.
Bai Shuang and Zhao's mother both knew that their second baby was lost and they were extremely worried.
"How could a person just disappear like that? Could he be hidden by the people in the mansion? Has the princess searched carefully? Has she looked everywhere but couldn't find him?" Mother Zhao cared about the two children the most. She was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Bai Shuang pulled Mother Zhao back and said, "Mother Zhao, calm down quickly. The princess is also anxious. You will make her even more anxious."
Su Ying pursed her lips tightly. She and Xiao Jin had indeed fallen into each other's trap.
Ever since Zhang Gang found He Shouyi, their intention was not to target her or Xiao Jin, but the child.
They wanted to catch children from the very beginning!
"It's time to stop looking. Mother Zhao, Bai Shuang, you two should go down and have a rest."
How could Mother Zhao and the others sleep at this moment? But they were worried that if they kept hanging around Su Ying, she would become upset. So they could only suppress their worries and leave the house with Bai Shuang first.
Su Ying sat on the bed with her legs crossed, trying to regulate her breathing to calm herself down.
But after several moments, her breathing became extremely disordered and she couldn't calm down at all!
Damn it! Where on earth was Ling'er hidden? I wonder if Xiao Jin has found anything.
Outside the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Xiao Jin and the secret guards kept watch all night. It was not until dawn that the door of the mansion was opened and Fu Jun walked out.
Fu Jun walked out of the door and asked his servants to carry a box. The box was half the height of an adult and very large, so it was no problem for a child to fit in it.
As soon as the box appeared, it was spotted by the secret guards, who immediately informed Xiao Jin.
As soon as Xiao Jin received the news, he went to the front door and watched the servants carry the box onto the carriage.
Judging from the strength with which the servants lifted the box, the box was quite heavy.
"A few of you go over and take a look. Try to see clearly what's in his box." Xiao Jin said to the secret guards.
"yes."
The secret guard quickly stepped forward and followed.
Not long after Fu Jun left, the vendor who delivered vegetables to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion every day entered the mansion.
Xiao Jin returned to the entrance where the merchants came in and out and stood guard. He felt that the possibility of hiding someone in the box was actually not very high because it was too conspicuous. If the other party wanted to take the person out of the mansion, it would be easier to choose an inconspicuous way.
So when the dealer came out pushing the empty barrel, Xiao Jin immediately sent someone to follow him.
"Don't alert the enemy yet, follow them secretly, and wait until you find the princess before taking action."
"yes."
Xiao Jin still did not follow. Whenever anyone came out of the mansion, he would have someone follow them if they were suspicious, but he would not let them reveal their whereabouts.
However, the results of tracking and investigation were that there was no trace of Erbao.
"My Lord, could it be that the princess was taken out of the mansion yesterday?"
Xiao Jin shook his head affirmatively. He knew that if he took the two children out, it meant he was not without any preparation.
After they entered the mansion yesterday, he asked the guards to guard every exit of the mansion. If the other party could still get out, there was only one possibility: climbing over the wall.
But climbing over the wall would definitely leave traces, and he checked yesterday and found no traces.
The person must still be in the mansion.
"Why did Fu Jun take the box out for no reason? What's in it?"
"It's a book, it's said to introduce the history and culture of the Chu State, it's sent to the palace."
A hint of coldness appeared on Xiao Jin's lips.
"Go to Wenhan Academy and bring his son back to me."
"yes."
After Fu Jun delivered the box of books to the palace, he went to work in the yamen.
Colleagues were surprised to see him smiling.
I heard that the little princess of Prince Qi's Mansion was lost in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion. It would be fine if he wasn't worried, but why was he smiling so happily?
Of course Fu Jun was happy. Don't think he didn't know that Prince Qi's Mansion had sent people to guard outside the door. He did it on purpose to disrupt their judgment and see what they could do!
Fu Jun's happiness lasted until he returned to the mansion for lunch at noon, and then he heard the servant say that Xiao Jin was already waiting for him at the mansion.
Fu Jun straightened his face and walked into the front hall with a look of worry on his face.
"Your humble servant pays respect to the King of Qi."
Xiao Jin's slender fingertips twirled the jade ring on his hand, and his deep black eyes fell on him indifferently.
With just one look, Fu Jun felt goose bumps on his back, but he remained calm and said, "Is there something that the prince wants me to come here for? If the prince wants to ask me about the little princess, I really have no way of knowing. The prince and the princess have searched the mansion from top to bottom, but couldn't find her. Maybe the bad guys have already taken the little princess out of the mansion."
Fu Jun glanced at Xiao Jin and continued, "However, the government office is indeed responsible for the negligence in this matter. I apologize to the prince and hope that the prince will forgive me."
Xiao Jin paused with his fingertips and curled his lips, "I heard that the second young master also likes to practice martial arts?"
Fu Jun was shocked when he heard this, "He is still studying in the academy."
"I heard he's back. Go and bring the second young master up here so I can test his skills."
Fu Jun got anxious when he heard it, "No need!"
Xiao Jin's brows sank, "Bring it up."
Fu Xun was brought in by Wang Su. He was younger than Fu Zheng and was frightened and burst into tears when he saw Fu Jun.
"Father, Father, save me, Father."
Fu Jun's face changed drastically. "What is the Prince of Qi going to do? You are a prince, but you are bullying a child."
Xiao Jin stood up, walked to Fu Xun, and patted him on the shoulder. Fu Xun screamed in fear, "Help, help, father..."
The sharp cry was like a sharp knife stabbing Fu Jun's heart. His eyes were red. "This is the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Even if you are a prince, if you dare to do anything to my son, I will never let you go!"
Xiao Jin slowly raised his eyebrows, and his hand fell directly on the top of Fu Xun's head, and his fingertips gently rubbed his crown, "Why are you still not done with me?"
