The butler failed to help the King of Qin find the person, and immediately apologized: "Wu Zhong did not do his job well, please punish him, Your Majesty."
The King of Qin rubbed his brows and waved his hand: "Go down."
It’s not that he is lenient, but the fact that the woman even dared to touch him and was able to escape unscathed, so it was not surprising that Wu Zhong couldn’t catch her.
When Gao Zhenzhen came over, she saw a group of servants walking out, all of them were still in shock.
"What's wrong?" Gao Zhenzhen leaned weakly on Ping'er and asked with concern.
Butler Wu Zhong whispered, "The prince is in a bad mood right now, Miss Gao, you..."
Before Wu Zhong could finish his words, the King of Qin had already strode over, took Gao Zhenzhen from Ping'er's hands, and carefully cared for her: "Why do you look so bad?"
Gao Zhenzhen leaned against the King of Qin's arms like a little bird, and said with all her might, "I heard that the prince fell into the water. Zhenzhen is worried..."
Maid Ping'er quickly wiped away her tears: "The prince disappeared today, and the young lady was shocked and fainted... The young lady just woke up and heard that the prince fell into the water. She didn't care about herself and rushed over immediately..."
When the King of Qin heard this, he was heartbroken. He immediately picked her up and walked towards her yard, saying softly, "I'm fine, don't worry."
They walked all the way to Gao Zhenzhen's yard. The two were still showing affection and care to each other, which made Riemann in the house roll his eyes.
I don’t know, when King Qin knows Gao Zhenzhen’s true face, will he be disgusted by his past self and Gao Zhenzhen?
"Cousin, who did you invite to the selection of the princess? How could someone be so audacious as to plot against me?"
Xuanyuan Qi couldn't find the person who dragged him into trouble. When he heard that the King of Qin had woken up, he immediately ran over to ask for an explanation. He looked so aggressive that people who didn't know him would think that the two princes were incompatible.
"Is there anyone who dares to plot against you?" The King of Qin didn't even give Xuanyuan Qi a glance, but just frowned slightly.
Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Qi became angry: "Stop talking, I saved people with good intentions..."
"Would you be kind enough to save people?" The King of Qin turned to look at Xuanyuan Qi, his eyes clearly showing disbelief.
Xuanyuan Qi was not embarrassed at all when his actions were exposed: "This is not important. What's important is that I must find her!"
"Please do as you please." The King of Qin carried Gao Zhenzhen away and had no intention of paying any attention to Xuanyuan Qi.
"Hey, you..." Xuanyuan Qi put his hands on his hips angrily, thinking of what that woman had done to the King of Qin before. The always arrogant King of Qin must have wanted to kill someone when he was thrown into the water by a woman for the first time. He smiled and asked in return:
"I heard you were looking for someone too? How's it going? Did you find someone?"
"It has nothing to do with you." King Qin said this and closed the door, blocking Xuanyuan Qi's sight.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Riemann pushed hard and knocked over the tea set on the table. The sound of the tea set breaking instantly attracted the attention of people outside.
Grandma Gao thought it was a maid who was clumsy while cleaning, so she pushed the door open and scolded her softly, "I've told you so many times, be careful..."
She swallowed the rest of the words back because she saw Riemann being "kidnapped".
Riemann was tied to a pillar with a cloth ball stuffed in his mouth. He looked pale and terrified. When he saw someone coming, he immediately cried for help as if he had seen a savior.
Seeing that Li Man was wearing a maid's clothes and looked very unfamiliar, Gao Mama took out a ball of cloth for her in confusion. Just as she was about to ask what had happened, Li Man shouted:
"Help! I'm the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion, and I've been kidnapped!"
Xuanyuan Qi, who had just walked out, heard the commotion and immediately turned back. He didn't care whether people welcomed him or not and went over directly.
Hearing Ling Xiang's voice, Gao Zhenzhen's already ugly face turned even paler. She didn't even care that King Qin was present and immediately went to see what was going on.
"Don't move." The King of Qin was worried that Gao Zhenzhen would have another attack, so he held her down. "I'll go check on her. You get some rest."
Gao Zhenzhen was uneasy about the Prince of Qin going to see Ling Xiang alone, so she insisted on going: "Since it's Miss Ling, and she's in my courtyard, it's safest for me to go."
Finally, the King of Qin carried Gao Zhenzhen to the next room and saw Xuanyuan Qi standing there. He said disdainfully:
"You're not leaving yet?"
"It's rare to see a beauty in your yard, and she appears in this way. If you don't let me see what's going on, I'm afraid I'll have sleepless nights for the next few nights."
Xuanyuan Qi had a look of gloating on his face until he saw the face of the kidnapped person inside, especially the pair of fox eyes. His gaze immediately became sharp and stared directly at Ling Xiang, as if he wanted to strip her naked to see what was going on.
The King of Qin was worried that Gao Zhenzhen would not be able to hold on, so he didn't bother to pay attention to Xuanyuan Qi. He gently placed Gao Zhenzhen on a chair and instructed Doctor Wang to treat her well. Then he looked at Ling Xiang and asked sternly, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
Li Man, now Ling Xiang, glanced timidly at the King of Qin:
"Today, I came to the banquet with my second aunt. Halfway through, a maid from the palace came to me and said that the eldest princess had invited me. So I left the flower hall with her. The maid led me all the way to a courtyard, and then, later..."
Ling Xiang shook her dizzy head, feeling weak, pitiful, and helpless. "I don't remember what happened. I only know that when I woke up, I was already in this room, and I was kidnapped."
Gao Zhenzhen realized something was wrong and could only distance herself from the matter. She said with concern, "Miss Ling is frightened. Someone, quickly untie her."
King Qin pondered for a moment, then looked at Ling Xiang with an increasingly sharp gaze: "Miss Ling, do you still remember what the maid who brought you here looked like?"
It seems that King Qin wants to find out the truth of the matter, and Ling Xiang also wants to find out who is behind the harm to her. However, the original owner has never seen such a big scene before, and she doesn't dare to look up, let alone remember the appearance of the maid.
She could only shake her head: "This is my first time in the palace, so I'm a little nervous. Before coming here, my second uncle and second aunt reminded me to behave properly when visiting the palace, so I didn't take a close look at the maid's appearance..."
King Qin's eyes were sharp. "So, what you're saying is just one-sided, without any real evidence?"
Ling Xiang: ...
Although she fabricated it herself, she was tied up here, so isn't it substantial evidence?
Is the King of Qin going to protect his sweetheart without any discrimination?
Ling Xiang shrank back, bit her lip, her eyes red, and she looked pitiful, as if she had been wronged but dared not speak out.
Other women were nothing in the eyes of the King of Qin. He naturally didn't care about Ling Xiang, but considering the face of the Marquis of Zhenguo, he still had to give an explanation:
"Miss Ling fainted today, and Zhenzhen kindly saved you. If you're not seriously injured, go to the flower hall and find Madam Ling Er."
Ling Xiang knew that the King of Qin was always unreasonable in protecting his children, so he didn't argue. He maintained his pitiful persona, lowered his eyebrows, and turned away.
In order to show that he had indeed been kidnapped for a long time, he even walked a little unsteadily.
