Su Yan and Su Yao were captured from the front and back.
At night, an arrow was stuck in front of Sultan Ruo's house door, with a letter tied to the arrow.
The guard at the door immediately took the arrow and handed it to Sultan.
Sultan jumped up from his stool immediately after seeing the contents of the letter.
"Hurry up and prepare the car, I want to go to the palace!"
When Qu Cheng'an knew that the Sultan had entered the palace, he immediately took him to his own palace.
"Ruoruo, is there something urgent that brings you to the palace in the middle of the night?"
Sultan threw the letter in his hand at Qu Cheng'an.
"Look at this! Your child has been kidnapped, and you didn't even notice. How can you be such a father?"
Qu Chengan picked up the letter that had fallen on the ground. It clearly read:
"I ran into two nephews who were lost on the street. They are now playing at Linqiu Manor, outside the imperial city. Don't worry, my brothers and sisters. I'll be waiting for you at the manor gate to pick them up tomorrow at 5:00 PM."
Qu Chengan's face darkened instantly.
The only person who could speak to him in such a tone was his elder brother.
Could it be that his elder brother escaped back from exile?
Qu Cheng'an immediately sent someone to verify whether his elder brother was in exile.
At Chou Shi, he received the news that his elder brother had escaped for a long time, but the people below did not report it for fear of being punished.
Qu Cheng'an originally thought that his elder brother was a fool, so he was careless and just exiled his elder brother.
I didn't expect that my soft-heartedness back then would lead to the disaster today.
Qu Cheng'an immediately mobilized soldiers in plain clothes to surround Linqiu Village overnight.
The two of them did not sleep all night. When Qu Nian woke up in the morning, he heard from the palace maids that Sultan Ruo had entered the palace overnight and stayed there all night.
She had thought that the Sultan had come to the palace to see her and her brother.
But when Qu Nian heard the palace maid say that she was alone, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
She asked the palace maids to help her wash and dress up and then went to Fenglan Palace.
Seeing Su Danruo and Qu Cheng'an looking so sad, Qu Nian felt even more uneasy.
"Father, Mother, what's wrong with you?"
When Qu Cheng'an saw Qu Nian coming, he suddenly remembered that Qu Nian had always secretly run out of the palace with Qu Zheng before, but he knew every time the two of them went out.
And every time he would send someone to secretly follow the two of them, so the two of them never got into any trouble.
Qu Cheng'an stepped forward and pulled Qu Nian in front of him, and asked with a serious face:
"Did you help the two of them sneak out of the palace?"
Qu Nian was frightened by Qu Cheng'an. Looking at Qu Cheng'an's attitude, Qu Nian knew that something must have happened to these two people.
She fell to her knees with a thud.
"Father, I know I was wrong. They said they missed mother and wanted to leave the palace to find her. I was inconsiderate and shouldn't have helped them do such evil things.
May I ask if something happened to the two of them?"
Qu Cheng'an looked at Qu Nian and saw his face turned blue with anger.
"It's all my fault for being so indulgent towards you guys. That's why you made such a big mistake today. Go outside and kneel down to reflect on your mistakes! Don't get up until your brothers and sisters come back!"
Qu Nian felt very guilty and immediately went to kneel outside.
Sudanruo pulled Qu Nian into his arms and held him.
"What are you doing here? Now that things have come to this, can you let Nian'er go out and kneel down and the person will come back? The most urgent thing should be to rescue the person as soon as possible!"
Seeing that Sudan was protecting Qu Nian like this, Qu Cheng'an knew that Qu Nian could not be blamed entirely for this matter.
Qu Nian, a six-year-old child, naturally couldn't think of so many things. In addition, when she was five years old, she never got into trouble when she went out to play, so she naturally didn't know how sinister people were.
Qu Cheng'an's heart softened when he saw Qu Nian crying pitifully in Su Danruo's arms.
"Forget it, just go back to your own palace and stop causing trouble for me and your mother."
Qu Nian sobbed and nodded.
Qu Cheng'an and Sudan Ruo discussed many rescue plans together.
It was soon noon.
In order to arrive at Linqiu Village at noon, the two of them did not even eat and left the palace by carriage at noon.
When they arrived at the gate of Linqiu Village, they saw a group of people waiting at the gate.
One of them even set up a table with good wine and food and sat in the middle, eating while waiting.
This person is Qu Chengzhi.
Seeing Qu Cheng'an coming, Qu Chengzhi stopped what he was doing, stood up and limped to the front of the crowd.
"Second brother, long time no see. I see you're doing much better than me."
After saying this, Qu Chengzhi looked at his own legs meaningfully, then looked at Qu Cheng'an's legs.
Sultan noticed that Qu Chengzhi had not brought the two children with him, so he asked:
"Didn't you tell us to come pick up the child? Where is the child?"
Qu Chengzhi laughed sarcastically.
"What are you thinking? You've sent people to surround me. If I bring those two children here, will you let me go after you capture them?
Don't worry! I've protected them well. As long as you do as I say, I promise I won't harm them."
Qu Chengan asked in a deep voice, "What exactly do you want?"
Qu Chengzhi's face instantly became gloomy and terrifying.
"It's simple. I want you, the patricide and regicide, to get the fate you deserve! How can someone like you sit in this position?
I want you to experience all the pain that I've experienced!"
Qu Cheng'an frowned, the child's location was still unknown.
Their current situation is very passive, and they can only do whatever Qu Chengzhi says.
Sudan Ruo also knew that the current situation was not favorable for them, so he asked the system if it could help him find the child's location.
[The system's scanning range is limited, and we are currently unable to locate them.]
The Sultan was very anxious. If he wanted to find the location of the two children, he had to find a way to get into the farm.
Sultan Ruo said to Qu Chengzhi:
"Don't you just want a hostage? I'll trade with you!"
Qu Chengzhi said suspiciously:
"Just you? Can you compare to his two precious children?"
Qu Chengan held onto Sudan Ruo and whispered:
"Are you crazy?! You know I can live without kids, but I can't live without you!"
Su Danruo stared into Qu Chengan's eyes and asked:
"Do you really care about your child's life or death? From the beginning to the end, all you cared about was power and status.
You say you love me, but you're just attracted by my ability to help you! If you truly cared about me, why would you have killed my father when you knew I would be sad?!
I must rescue you, child!"
Qu Chengzhi couldn't hear what the two were whispering about, but when he saw them arguing, he knew that Sudan Ruo still had a certain weight in Qu Cheng'an's heart.
If the Sultan could be placed in his own hands, it might provide an extra layer of protection.
Thinking of this, Qu Chengzhi shouted to the two of them:
"Hey! What are you mumbling about? I'm telling you, you can change people if you want, but you can only change one!"
