Moreover, although Mr. Zhao didn't say it, he was clearly unwilling to believe that Madam Lin was not his sister, and he wouldn't leave the inn for the time being until he was sure.
"Let's go back and take a look."
Su Ruojin turned to Xiao Yanchu and said, "Your Highness, I must take my leave now."
Xiao Yanchu nodded without saying anything.
After the others left, Xiao Yanchu glanced at Hu Qing.
Hu Qing nodded, turned and left.
......
Back at the inn, Su Ruojin went to Mr. Zhao's room, where there were no signs of a struggle.
Either Mr. Zhao left on his own, or he was kidnapped while he was asleep.
Old Madam Lin stood by, tears streaming down her face, crying, "Xiao Jin, what are we going to do? What are we going to do?"
As Su Ruojin was comforting the old lady, Yan Luo came over and whispered in her ear, "Miss, Envoy Rong has brought Mr. Zhao back."
Su Ruojin's eyes lit up: "Qizhou is here? Let him in quickly."
A young man dressed in black entered the room, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Your subordinate greets the Alliance Leader."
"Qizhou, how many times have I told you, there's no need for such a grand ceremony. Get up." Su Ruojin had a headache.
She is the Left Envoy of the Dark Alliance, and she is good in every way, except that she is very rigid at such a young age.
No matter how she taught him, he always treated her with utmost respect and did not tolerate the slightest mistake.
With his personality, it's no wonder that Yunniang has been unable to win the heart of her handsome man for so long.
"Thank you, Alliance Leader." Rong Qizhou stood up, bowed his head, and stood respectfully.
"Tell me, what happened?" Su Ruojin couldn't care less about anything else at this moment; getting down to business was the priority.
"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, I know that you are staying at the Donglai Inn, and I have secretly sent people to guard the inn. At noon today, when Guard Feng returned to his room for lunch, two people dressed as waiters took the opportunity to enter Mr. Zhao's room. A short while later, one of them carried Mr. Zhao out of the room."
Fearing for Mr. Zhao's safety, the guards dared not directly attempt to rescue him. Instead, they followed them to a house in the city and waited for an opportunity to rescue him.
"As expected of you, you think things through so thoroughly," Su Ruojin praised.
This is also why she felt at ease leaving Rong Qizhou in the capital. His personality was just like Yunniang's, one cold and the other warm, one active and the other quiet, and the two complemented each other perfectly.
"Have you figured out who took Mr. Zhao away?" Su Ruojin asked.
Rong Qizhou replied, "According to the brothers who returned, although the two men guarding Old Master Zhao were dressed in the clothes of the Great Chu Kingdom, their accents sounded more like those of the Yunqi Kingdom. I have already sent people to investigate their identities."
People from Yunqi Kingdom?
If it really is from Yunqi Kingdom, then it makes sense.
It seems that someone in Yunqi Kingdom has indeed made a move against Old Master Zhao.
After Rong Qizhou left, Su Ruojin went to Mr. Zhao's room.
The person was brought back, but was still unconscious. Old Madam Lin was wiping away tears as she stayed by his side.
When Feng Ying saw Su Ruojin approaching, he stepped forward and said, "Miss, the old gentleman was drugged with sleeping potion. We have given him the antidote, and he should wake up soon."
Su Ruojin nodded, walked to Madam Lin's side, and comforted her, "Grandmother, Mr. Zhao is alright, he will wake up soon. Those people did nothing to him."
Madam Lin sighed, "If we were in Yunqi Kingdom, even the Emperor would have to show some respect to my brother, and no one would dare to lay a hand on the Zhao family. It was only because my brother came to Da Chu for my sake that people had the opportunity to do so."
“Grandmother, if you really don’t want to acknowledge Mr. Zhao, I will have someone escort him back to Yunqi after he wakes up. I’m afraid that if he stays in Da Chu any longer, it will become increasingly dangerous for him,” Su Ruojin said.
Before Madam Lin could reply, a noise came from the bed.
Mr. Zhao woke up.
