After confirming that the Seventeenth Princess was missing, the Emperor asked Yan Bao, "What happened? Where is the Seventeenth Princess? Who is so bold as to kidnap the Seventeenth Princess from the palace?"
Concubine Jiang blinked and looked at Yan Bao. Something occurred to her, and her face was filled with sorrow. "How could Princess Taining know so much? Could it be that Princess Seventeen's disappearance is related to you?"
Yan Bao: [I just laughed. I came here with good intentions to inform on you, but Concubine Jiang actually misses me so much?]
The emperor saw Yan Bao's unhappy expression and immediately scolded him: "Shut up, Concubine. The disappearance of the Seventeenth Princess has nothing to do with Yan Bao."
Imperial Concubine Jiang didn't believe it: "If it's unrelated, why would she know that the Seventeenth Princess is missing? I just found out too."
Yan Bao looked at Concubine Jiang who was looking for death and spread her hands: "Your Majesty is wise. The abduction of the Seventeenth Princess was definitely not done by me. As for where the Seventeenth Princess is, I don't know either."
"Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you. She's not my daughter anyway, so why would I meddle in her business?"
emperor:"......"
Imperial Concubine Jiang took the opportunity to complain: "Your Majesty, look at how presumptuous Princess Taining is."
"Shut up. Someone, send Concubine Jiang back." The emperor glared at this brainless woman. She had been in the palace for so many years, but she was still so stupid. I don't know why I was blind to think that she was so similar to that man.
This is simply an insult to that person. I wonder if she would be angry with me if she knew about this in the afterlife.
Concubine Jiang cried out for justice. Although she was stupid, she still had some sense. Seeing the emperor's anger, she immediately showed weakness: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I was too concerned about the Seventeenth Princess, so I spoke incoherently. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me!"
Unfortunately, the emperor didn't buy it this time and had Concubine Jiang taken away to avoid affecting his mood.
After everyone left, the emperor smiled flatteringly, "Yan Bao, don't argue with the imperial concubine. I believe you. Tell me quickly, where is the Seventeenth Princess?"
Is Yan Bao so easy to coax?
She also has a bad temper.
Concubine Jiang was fine before, as she served as a concubine for a few more years. But now her ungrateful self has been exposed. She doesn't even think about who helped her enter the palace and survive until now, but now she treats her as a thorn in her side.
Yan Bao said: "I don't know."
The emperor was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Yan Bao, you should know that deceiving the emperor is a serious crime."
Yan Bao was unfazed: "I knew it originally, but was interrupted by the Imperial Concubine and suddenly forgot."
emperor:"......"
That woman who is more likely to cause trouble than to do good!
In the end, it was the emperor who accompanied Xiao Xiao and rewarded him with many good things that made Yan Bao remember it.
Yan Bao said, "I also accidentally learned that the Countess did not leave alone. She also took the Seventeenth Princess with her in order to threaten the Emperor and exchange her for the train blueprints."
The emperor's face was gloomy: "People from Great Britain?"
Yan Bao nodded.
The emperor wondered why the countess passed away so quickly, and he thought she was sick and was anxious to go back for treatment. Now it seems that she was just pretending to be confused and putting on a show for others, so that she could take the seventeenth princess away openly.
Realizing this, the emperor immediately ordered people to chase after him.
As for the Countess, after the carriage left the city, it immediately headed northwest. Thinking of the long journey, she was afraid that if she could not reach Dayuezhi before the weather got cold, she would freeze to death on the road.
In the secret room of the carriage, the unconscious Princess Seventeen had no idea that she was about to be taken out of Dajin.
The Countess's long nails gently scratched the little princess's delicate face a few times, leaving immediate marks.
The Countess originally thought that there would be no trouble along the way. After all, no one knew that the missing Princess Seventeen was in her carriage. Once she arrived in Dayuezhi, Prince Jason would act according to the plan.
Thinking of this, the Countess felt that her trip was not in vain.
The carriage had traveled dozens of miles out of the capital when it was suddenly pursued by soldiers.
The Countess glanced at the still sleeping Seventeenth Princess, narrowed her eyes, thought for three seconds, and asked her confidant to take the little princess away immediately to avoid being found in the carriage by the pursuers and caught red-handed.
They didn't expect to be discovered so quickly, and the Countess even suspected that there was a traitor among them.
Soon, the carriage was stopped and someone let the Countess out of the carriage, saying that the Seventeenth Princess was missing and someone had reported that she was taken away by the Countess.
Countess: “…”
Who is so powerful that every report he makes is accurate?
The Countess would definitely not cooperate so well. In order to delay time, she had the little princess hidden and deliberately made trouble. She caused the situation to become tense before she compromised and allowed the Dajin soldiers to inspect.
When we found the secret room, we thought Princess Seventeen was in the carriage.
But when they opened it, they found nothing but a wine jug and some wine, but no one they were looking for.
The Countess was secretly pleased with herself, her eyes mocking, "Did you find what you were looking for? Is the Seventeenth Princess in my carriage?"
The searchers looked embarrassed and apologized to the Countess, but returned empty-handed.
The Countess sneered, got into the carriage neatly, and continued on her journey.
As for the Seventeenth Princess who was taken away, since it was discovered that the person might be in her carriage, it would definitely not be easy to take her away.
Prince Jason also made preparations for both scenarios. If the person was discovered, he would be sent back to the capital immediately. The most dangerous place is the safest. If he keeps the person in his hands, he might be more useful.
A carriage disguised as a British merchant was about to enter the city. No one else checked and stopped the carriage. She was so scared that sweat broke out on her forehead and her heart beat faster. Seeing that the little princess was about to be discovered, Prince Jason suddenly appeared and asked, "What's going on?"
The guard said, "Check."
"What could be wrong with my people? They just brought me some British things. They definitely don't have the person you are looking for." Prince Jason was talking nonsense.
