Duan Gouqiong glanced at Jing Yuchen, then his gaze fell on Zou Yangyao.
"Are you stupid or just forgetful? Didn't I just say this? He is my husband. If I don't help him, how can I help you?"
She took a long sword from the guard next to her and put the tip of the sword against Zou Yangyao's vitals. "Are you going to tell me or not?"
Any other woman would definitely not dare to do such a brutal thing, but Duan Gouqiong did not think there was anything wrong with doing so. Her expression was calm, and her eyes stared at him with a hint of ruthlessness that made people ashamed.

Inside the General's Mansion, Jing Yuchen led his men inside. The wedding procession had sealed off the General's Mansion. Jing Yuchen pushed Zou Yangyao and demanded, "Where are the people? Where are they hiding?"
Zou Yangyao staggered and almost fell to the ground, his face gloomy.
"bedroom."
After uttering the two words, he walked in one direction, Jing Yuchen and Duan Gouqiong followed behind him, but the moment he opened the door, he was surprised.
Ni Yueshan, who was supposed to be in the room, was gone. There were only scattered ropes and broken pieces of teacup on the ground...
The window of Ni Yueshan's room was still open, Ni Yueshan escaped!
Zou Yangyao's face was calm, and Jing Yuchen and Duan Gouqiong also understood what was going on at a glance.
At the Second Prince's residence, the guests were already impatient and went out to find the two princes' guards to come back and report.
"After the Second Prince and Princess Gou Qiong left the city gate, their horses were so fast that no one could keep up. The nimble members of the wedding procession also disappeared, perhaps because they were caught up."
"However, we haven't seen the Second Prince return with Princess Gou Qiong yet. I don't know where they went."
The guests looked up at the sky. It was already past noon. Should they still use this auspicious time?
Jing Chengzhi sighed in the crowd, "I'd better go to the palace and report this to my father. Who knows, maybe my second brother is still thinking about Miss Ni and has regretted the engagement!"
He sighed, shook his head, and walked out.
One of the guests also spoke up and suggested, "When the Fourth Prince meets the Emperor, remember to ask Cang Lie's envoy if he knows whether Princess Cang Lie had discussed this with him before!"
Jing Chengzhi left in a good mood and headed for the palace. The guests at the Second Prince's house wanted to know more, but they didn't have the ability to do so.
Inside the palace, Jing Chengzhi came before the emperor and knelt down to greet him: "Greetings, father."
"Why are you here today if you're not going to attend your second brother's wedding?"
Jing Chengzhi knelt on the ground, looking troubled. "It was my second brother... He and Canglie's Princess Gou Qiong actually left the imperial city. I don't know where they rode their horses to, and they haven't come back yet."
"Chengzhi saw too many guests discussing this, so he decided to come to the palace to report this to his father. He could also ask Canglie's envoy if he knew what Princess Gouqiong wanted to do."
The emperor was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. He looked at Jing Chengzhi with his eyes slightly narrowed and a complicated expression.
"Abandoning their guests, the two of them rode out of the city together?"
"yes."
The emperor was silent for a moment, then looked at the eunuch next to him. The eunuch immediately stood up and left to inform the envoy.
Duan Gouqiong has a heroic character, and the emperor and others have noticed it, but they would never have thought that when Princess Gouqiong acts recklessly, Jing Yuchen would actually accompany her?
Now that we can't find the two of them, we don't know what the people will say.
Soon, the envoy was summoned. On the way, he had heard the palace servants report the matter. He came to see the emperor and bowed to him, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Princess Gou Qiong and the Second Prince left the city together. Do you know what's going on? Princess Gou Qiong is very eccentric. If she were to act out of temper normally, it wouldn't be a big deal, but today is a big day..."
The emperor looked quite helpless and was very troubled by Duan Gouqiong.
The envoy stood before the royal palace, a look of doubt on his face.
"Princess Gou Qiong has not revealed any information. This is indeed strange..."
He stroked his beard and said, "Otherwise, I'd better leave the palace and see what's going on."
Their marriage is not only related to the happiness of two young people, but also the peace between the two countries!
The envoy looked depressed and followed Jing Chengzhi out of the palace.
In the Second Prince's Mansion, some guests had become impatient and left one after another, while many people gathered together to talk and condemn Jing Yuchen and Duan Gouqiong.
Amidst the discussion among the crowd, the envoy arrived...
Seeing the envoy coming, many people surrounded him.
"Your Excellency, do you know where Princess Gou Qiong has gone?"
The envoy stroked his beard and shook his head with a depressed look. "The princess may just have a sudden whim. She likes unique rituals. Everyone, don't worry. This is a strategic location in the imperial city. There won't be any danger. Be patient and wait. She may return soon!"
Afterwards, the envoy looked at the servants in the Second Prince's house and asked, "How many people have you sent out to look for him?"
"Most of the people in the Prince's Mansion have gone..."
The envoy was vaguely anxious, but he couldn't show it, so he just said soothingly, "Everyone, please sit down and wait."
He didn't say anything after that.
As everyone waited anxiously, someone came running over: "He's back, he's back!"
Jing Chengzhi looked at the servant who came to report in surprise, he's back!
If Jing Yuchen went to the edge of the cliff and found out that he had failed, it would take at least two hours for him to rush back. But he came back just like that?
