As expected, the dozen or so boxes that were originally piled up in Ye Xingchen's yard were gone, and Cang Tingchen became furious instantly.

"Damn Ye Xingchen, who gave her the courage to take away all the 100,000 taels? Someone, arrest all the servants in the yard!" Cang Tingchen roared.

"Yes!" The guards immediately went to arrest him.

Fu Yurou, who followed, saw that the yard was empty and her face became extremely ugly: "Your Highness, how did the princess move out so many boxes?"

Cang Tingchen frowned and said, "Come here, bring the servant who has been guarding the gatehouse for the past two days to me!"

"Yes." The confidant Gu Jiu went to arrest the man personally.

After a while, all the servants in Ye Xingchen's yard were brought in. Everyone was terrified, wondering why King Mo would summon them in the middle of the night.

The servants guarding the front and back doors of Prince Mo's mansion were also brought over. They looked confused and said, "Prince, what do you want from me?"

"I want to ask you, when did Ye Xingchen carry out the dozen boxes?" Cang Tingchen asked.

The servant trembled with fear: "My Lord, the princess has not gone out. Didn't you put her in solitary confinement?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I didn't see the princess go out either."

The gatekeepers all gave the same answer: none of them saw the princess leave.

Now Cang Ting'e's face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot: "Could it be that she grew wings and flew away?"

"Your Highness, were these servants the ones who helped the princess get out?" Fu Yurou asked in a low voice.

Cang Tingchen's forehead was bulging with veins, and he glared at Qingluo and the others: "Tell me the truth, who helped the princess leave the palace? If anyone dares to hide even a word, I will cut him into pieces!"

The moment Tang Yu and Tang Feng were called up, they noticed that more than a dozen boxes in the yard were gone, and they were also confused.

How come the princess's 100,000 taels disappeared?

Qing Luo was so scared that she fell to her knees and said, "My Lord, how dare I disobey your orders? I will never help the princess escape even if I am beaten to death."

The others also knelt down, including Tang Yu and Tang Feng, and said, "Your Highness, please look into this matter. We can't even lift those dozen boxes. How can we get them out?"

This is indeed true. The boxes were carried in by the burly men hired by the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo.

"Is this a ghost? Beat them until they tell the truth!" Cang Tingchen was furious and said with gritted teeth.

A guard came over with a whip, looked at Qingluo, hesitated for a moment, and finally hit him with the whip.

"Ah!" Qing Luo screamed, his face turned pale with pain, and he fell to the ground.

Tang Yu frowned, anger flashed in her eyes, and she wanted to get up, but was stopped by Tang Feng who gave her a look, signaling her not to move.

"Your Highness, the most urgent task is to recover the one hundred thousand taels. These servants should not have the courage to disobey your orders. The princess should still be in Fengyue Tower now." Fu Yurou reminded.

"Rou'er is right. This damn Ye Xingchen is such a spendthrift. Gu Jiu, take your men and follow me to Fengyue Tower!" Cang Tingchen turned around and ran straight to the door.

"yes."

Fengyue Tower.

Yan Tianming felt sorry for the 100,000 taels, so he held the jar of wine and drank it wildly, while Ye Xingchen drank by himself and listened to the noise outside.

Tonight is destined to be a restless night. Judging from the time, King Mo should be here soon.

Ye Xingchen was just thinking about it when he heard a noisy sound outside the private room.

Cang Tingchen rushed in with a group of people, and his men surrounded the entire first floor of Fengyue Tower.

The guests inside were all shocked. Seeing that Prince Mo was here to arrest someone, no one dared to drink or chat anymore. They all stepped aside, waiting to watch the show.

"Ye Xingchen, get out here!" Cang Tingchen roared.

The overwhelming rage and hatred instantly resounded throughout the Fengyue Tower.

The huge Fengyue Tower was silent for a moment, and no one dared to breathe, for fear that they would be affected.

After all, the news that his princess came to Fengyue Tower to look for a male official had spread throughout the streets and alleys, which was a real shame for Prince Mo.

When Ye Xingchen, who was in the private room on the third floor, heard this, a hint of sarcasm appeared on her lips, but she did not move and continued drinking.

Yan Tianming sobered up immediately: "Cang Tingchen is here, you are done for now, 100,000 taels for buying a man, Ye Xingchen, why don't you escape through the back door, I can't protect you this time."

Ye Xingchen rolled his eyes at him: "When did I need your protection?"

Yan Tianming's mouth twitched: "Isn't this worrying about you, young master?"

"unnecessary."

Outside in the lobby on the first floor, Cang Tingchen waited for a while and saw that Ye Xingchen did not come out. He was even more furious: "Come here, search for me, search every room, even if you have to dig three feet deep to find Ye Xingchen for me!"

"Yes!" Gu Jiu was about to take people to search when the madam came out.

"Oh, isn't this Prince Mo? What wind brings you here?" the madam said enthusiastically.

Cang Tingchen glared at him: "Where is Ye Xingchen? Let her get out!"

"Lord Mo, everyone who comes to Fengyue Tower is a guest. According to the rules of the building, we cannot disclose the guests' information. Please forgive me, Lord Mo!" said the old procuress calmly.

"You're looking for death!" Cang Tingchen was full of hatred. He pulled out Gu Jiu's sword and put it on the madam's neck: "Tell me, where is she?"

When the madam saw that Prince Mo was serious, she trembled with fear and immediately admitted her mistake: "Prince Mo, spare my life. Princess Mo is in the private room on the third floor. I will take you there right away."

Cang Tingchen then put away his sword: "If you dare to play tricks, I will chop off your head!"

"I dare not, I dare not."

The madam was about to lead the people up the stairs when a voice came from above her head: "Prince Mo came to see me in the middle of the night. Could it be that he missed me so much that he couldn't sleep?"

When Cang Tingchen looked up, he saw Ye Xingchen, who looked like he deserved a beating, standing at the corridor on the third floor.

"Ye Xingchen, are you looking for death? You actually used 100,000 taels to buy a man's day. I'm giving you the guts!"

The voice was fierce and filled with tremendous anger, which made people who heard it shudder.

Ye Xingchen was not afraid at all, and a hint of deep meaning flashed across his phoenix eyes: "Why is King Mo so angry? The whole capital knows that you don't like me. In that case, why should I hang myself on a tree?

I didn't spend your money for the 100,000 taels. I saved Yan Tianming and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion gave it to me. Everyone here can testify to this.

A few days ago, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo went to Prince Mo's mansion to give money. At that time, you said in front of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo that the money was mine and let me deal with it as I pleased, and you didn't think much of the 100,000 taels.

Could it be that you were short of money at the auction, so you lost to the Regent and wanted to take advantage of my 100,000 taels, using the money I saved to make up for your shortfall and save your face?"

Every word Ye Xingchen said was full of gems, and he did not give Cang Tingchen any face.

She did it on purpose, wanting to let everyone know how shameless and disrespectful Prince Mo was.

Cang Tingchen was hit on the spot and flew into a rage. He had been humiliated in front of the Regent and had no place to vent his anger. Now he was being humiliated by Ye Xingchen like this. How could Cang Tingchen tolerate this?

"Ye Xingchen, you are looking for death!" Cang Tingchen roared, injected his internal force into the sword in his hand and stabbed Ye Xingchen fiercely.
