The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet.
The man looked at everyone, bewildered, and asked somewhat uneasily, "Did I say something wrong?"
He was usually not very noticeable among this group of advisors. The fact that he was able to get into the Prince Xin's advisory group was because his father spent some money to get him in.
The reason I'm speaking up now is because I genuinely have doubts.
If Jiang Bai is truly a sentimental person, wouldn't threatening her with Jiang Lu and her brother, along with Song Shi, be more effective than playing the emotional card?
Why go through all this trouble, forcing the young master to condescend to cultivate a good relationship with Jiang Bai?
The Crown Prince of Xin glanced at him and smiled approvingly, "You're right."
They had walked into a dead end, thinking that Jiang Bai's body might be inhabited by some wandering ghost who wouldn't care about human kinship or anything like that.
But they completely forgot about Jiang Bai's protection of Jiang Lu and her brother.
He even sold his grandparents and killed his cousin in order to protect Jiang Songwen.
In this situation, threatening her with the two of them would undoubtedly be effective.
"Send some people to lure the brother and sister back first. Remember, don't use violence."
“Jiang Bai likely has the Black-Clad Guards under his command; if we resort to violence, they will easily discover it.”
The Crown Prince of Xin gave instructions.
Just then, the person who had previously received the order came to report.
"Young Master, the Divine Physician Ji and his nephew are still in the guest room looking through medical books."
"Are you sure they're both here?"
"Both of them are here."
The Crown Prince of Xin frowned as he waved the intruder away.
If Jiang Bai didn't come with that Divine Physician Ji, could it be that he broke into Prince Xin's mansion on his own?
But how could she know where Song lived?
Could it be that her martial arts skills have progressed beyond being superb, to the point where she can become invisible? And even have built-in navigation?
"not good."
Thinking of this, Prince Xin's expression changed, and he hurriedly went out.
The staff members were taken aback, and several of the more astute individuals also turned somber.
"What's wrong?"
"It is highly likely that the Song family has been abducted by Jiang Bai."
One of the staff members gave a grim answer, while the others were taken aback.
"No way? This is the Prince Xin's residence."
"Why not? If she can find Song's residence without the guards of the Prince's mansion, is it difficult for her to take someone away without their knowledge?"
The other staff members remained silent; the Prince's residence was not a place they could freely roam.
Everyone stayed inside, quietly waiting for news.
The Crown Prince of Xin arrived at Ruyi Garden in a hurry and asked the guards at the gate, "Has anyone come out from inside?"
"Your Highness, no one has come out."
The Crown Prince's face did not relax; instead, it became even more serious.
Fearing he might have misunderstood and caused Jiang Bai to misunderstand, he left the person outside and went inside alone.
"mother."
"Jiang Bai."
He called out, but there was no answer from inside.
He pushed open the door with a stern face, but Jiang Bai and Song Shi were nowhere to be seen. The room was clearly locked tight, but the two living people had disappeared.
Chaos broke out at the Prince Xin's residence.
"Uncle, something seems to have happened outside."
The person standing behind Jia Shiyi spoke. Jia Shiyi glanced outside, then casually lowered his head again.
"No need to worry about it, that's the Prince's own business."
His palms were actually wet.
The master is too audacious; he dares to steal the lady out of the palace.
Hopefully, she won't be caught by the guards of the Prince's mansion!
Will Jiang Bai be caught?
Of course not.
She carried Song Shi on her back, moving swiftly through the capital.
The soldiers patrolling the capital city could not find her anywhere.
She carried Song Shi on her back and hid in various places, then stopped in front of a dilapidated house.
"master."
The door of the house opened, and an ordinary-looking man let her in.
Jiang Bai placed Song Shi on the bed and asked the man, "Where is Xuan Yi?"
"The second leader will arrive in two more days."
Jiang Bai frowned.
For two days, they probably won't even be able to leave the city gates.
"Order men to keep an eye on the city gates and see if it's possible to leave the city."
Bringing Song out was a spur-of-the-moment decision, not something she had planned beforehand.
Fortunately, the Black-Clad Guards had already acquired residences in the capital, inconspicuous civilian houses, so even if the soldiers from Prince Xin's mansion wanted to search them, it would take them some time.
Jiang Bai had only been there a short time when a commotion arose outside: the cursing of the common people, the roars of the soldiers, and the violent banging on the door.
Is there a cellar here?
The guard in black nodded.
"Yes, but the cellars are the main focus of the search by the officers and soldiers."
Jiang Bai took a breath and said, "Okay, I understand."
She carried Song on her back and waited quietly.
The Prince Xin's Mansion acted too quickly; not long after, knocking came from the door of this house and the two houses next to it at the same time.
It was already night, and the people were all asleep.
But the noise had already reached them, waking many people up.
Upon hearing the people outside say they were soldiers, the civilians dared not delay and hurriedly went forward to open the courtyard gate.
The guards in black armor living in the house didn't delay either, opening their doors at almost the same time as the two neighboring houses on either side.
"Soldiers are conducting a search; make way."
The arriving officers and soldiers were extremely arrogant. They pushed aside the guard in black robes who opened the door and barged inside.
The guard in black was taken aback at first, then revealed an expression of anger that he dared not speak out.
It's exactly the same as his usual personality and way of doing things.
The officers and soldiers searched the house, taking the opportunity to steal some valuables while observing the expressions of the guards in black uniforms.
