Chapter 33: The kidnapping incident continues to ferment

"Big Brother, is this the border of Great Tang? Can I go out and look around?" The innocent and romantic Princess Changle’s eyes were shining, as if she were quite expectant.

Great!

Finally left Changancheng!

I wonder if there will be anything fun at the border.

A child’s thinking is always so simple.

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou: "..."

Qin Mu: "..."

Li Er flies into a rage at the Taiji Palace (Seeking flowers, seeking votes)

Both were speechless.

Is this girl stupid?

Does she know her own identity?

It’s hard to say if they can even survive, and she’s in the mood to go out and play?

Her heart is big enough!

"Princess Changle!"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou glared at Princess Changle, signaling her not to provoke Qin Mu.

Facing the stern gaze, Princess Changle stuck out her tongue mischievously and pulled her head back.

"Your Majesty, please don't mind; I have spoiled this child too much."

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou said helplessly.

"No matter!"

"Do you really want to go out and see?"

Qin Mu smiled slightly, his tone meaningful.

"Really?"

Princess Changle opened her eyes wide with joy, full of anticipation.

"Of course!"

"Since you are so interested, I will take you out for a stroll tomorrow."

"It will also let you see what the prosperous Tang in your mind really looks Wu Li Ke."

After saying this, Qin Mu turned and left the room.

"You child, what were you babbling about just now? Do you know we are currently being kidnapped?"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou shook her head; she really had no way to deal with this daughter of hers.

A little imp!

"Hee hee hee!"

"Mother, actually I think this Big Brother is not a bad person."

Princess Changle let out a laugh Wu Li Ke silver bells.

"I hope so!"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou nodded silently, staring blankly in the direction Qin Mu had left.

Why?

Why do I always feel a sense of closeness to him?

Inn corridor.

Wei Wei Zhongxian and Yu Yu Huatian were waiting quietly for Qin Mu.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing Qin Mu come out of the room, the two hurried forward.

"Hmm." Qin Mu nodded and continued to ask: "Is everything alright with Princess Wencheng?"

"There is no problem; she seems to have resigned herself to her fate, just staying in the room and not going anywhere," Yu Yu Huatian replied.

"That’s good. Tomorrow, you two will come out with me."

"Your servant obeys!"

Imperial Palace, Ganlu Palace.

The great hall was in a mess.

The imperial desk had been overturned, and memorials were scattered all over the floor.

Eunuchs and palace maids were all prostrate on the ground, shivering all over.

"Trash! All of you are trash!"

"We have been searching for a whole day and night, and we haven't even seen a shadow of the Empress and Princess Changle. What are you all doing?"

The Ganlu Palace was filled with Li Er’s roars.

The dukes and ministers all lowered their heads, cold sweat flowing from everyone’s foreheads to varying degrees.

The atmosphere was heavy to the extreme!

It had been a day and a night since Li Er learned the news of Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou and Princess Changle’s disappearance.

He had thought it was just Princess Changle being playful and delaying her return.

But who would have thought.

Cheng Cheng Yaojin led 2,000 Imperial Guards to turn Changancheng upside down, but they didn't find any trace of Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou and Princess Changle.

Everyone finally realized the severity of the situation.

The Empress of Great Tang and Princess Princess Changle had truly gone missing!

Li Er immediately issued an imperial decree to seal the nine gates of Changancheng; no one was allowed to leave the city without authorization.

A earth-shattering search had finally begun!

The twelve imperial guards, totaling 28,000 men, were all mobilized to search house by house in Changancheng.

The outskirts were naturally not spared either.

Every farm household, every acre of farmland, had been searched five or six times.

After a full day and night of searching, there was still no news of Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou and Princess Changle.

Li Er flew into a rage, smashing everything in the Ganlu Palace, roaring and howling Wu Li Ke a mad lion.

Even many of the veteran ministers who had followed Li Er in his rise to power had never seen him lose his composure Wu Li Ke this.

It was easy to imagine.

How furious Li Er was in his heart!

"Your Majesty, I suggest we immediately expand the search range, not just around Changancheng, but even the neighboring prefectures and counties should be searched together; we must not let go of even the slightest clue!"

Du Ru stepped forward and suggested to Li Er.

"Well said!"

"We must find the whereabouts of the Empress and the Princess!"

"There is no time to lose; we must act immediately!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The ten-thousand-nation tribute had just ended, and the Empress and Princess of Great Tang had gone missing.

If this were to spread, Great Tang would lose all its face!

"Your Majesty, there is news of the Empress!"

Just at this moment, Li Li Junxian strode in from outside, also looking exhausted.

"Speak quickly!"

Li Er walked quickly to Li Li Junxian and ordered anxiously.

Everyone looked at him nervously.

"Your servant found some bloodstains on a small path on the outskirts of Changancheng."

What!?

Bloodstains!

Before Li Li Junxian could finish speaking, Li Er’s face turned deathly pale, his body swaying, almost collapsing.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

The ministers closest to Li Er hurried to support him.

"I am fine, continue!"

Li Er pushed the others away, desperately trying to keep his spirits up.

"According to the descriptions of several nearby farmers, the Empress and the Princess had been there, and after a conflict with several people, they disappeared!"

"Your servant judges that the Empress and the Princess must have been kidnapped!"

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stood stunned as if struck by lightning.

What?

Kidnapped?

Who is so bold?

Daring to kidnap the Empress and Princess of Great Tang!

Audacious!

"Damn it, if I find out who kidnapped the Empress and the Princess, I will tear them to pieces!" Cheng Cheng Yaojin’s eyes were splitting, his cheeks puffed out, wishing he could swallow the person who kidnapped Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou and Princess Changle alive.

"Your Majesty, since the Empress and the Princess have been kidnapped, that at least means their lives are not in danger for the time being."
