Feng Yuexue's movements became more laborious, but the black-clad men seemed to multiply. Huang Quan sensed something was amiss and pulled Feng Yuexue back while defending against the attacks: "Miss, there's a river behind us, let's retreat in that direction."

  "Good." She didn't dare say more, didn't dare waste any energy, and simply let Huang Quan drag her mechanically towards the riverbank.

  When a knife comes chopping over, she dodges by listening to the wind sound and tilts her head slightly. Sometimes when she's too slow, a small piece of hair gets cut off.

  She faintly heard the sound of running water, and she thought that the river was not far away. But what could she do when she reached the riverbank? She still hadn't told Huang Quan that she couldn't swim at all!

  A black-clad figure flashed before him, and Feng Yu Heng's anger flared up, she also exerted her strength, shaking off Huang Quan's hand and striking the black-clad person's neck artery.

  The man in black didn't take her seriously, a little girl just over ten years old, although she seemed to know a few moves, but her weak and small body didn't look like it had any killing power. So Feng Yu's palm was not dodged by the opponent at all.

  People often lose because of carelessness. Feng Yuexue was indeed exhausted and had no strength left, but the black-clothed man did not expect that her hand still held a few silver needles. The most crucial thing was that those were actually anesthetic needles she retrieved from space.

  Several needles simultaneously entered the carotid artery, and that person suddenly stopped all movements as if time had been frozen, even dropping the knife from his hand, then closed his eyes and fainted.

  Huang Quan was startled, thinking that Feng Yuexia had encountered trouble. But when he turned his head to look, he saw that Feng Yuexia had taken down someone instead. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Miss is awesome!"

  She forced a smile, opportunities to get close were rare, and it wasn't as if she had such good luck with every opponent she met. Moreover...it was really exhausting! Her lungs were almost bursting from exhaustion.

  Two people retreated to the riverbank, which was a very wide and large river with slow water flow. Feng Yuexian remembered that when he returned to Beijing from Xiping Village, he also passed by this river, but unexpectedly came again, only to be chased and killed.

  Huang Quan grasped her hand and after beating back another enemy, shouted loudly: "Miss, you jump into the river first and escape! I'll cover our retreat!"

  Feng Yu Huan wanted to say "I don't know how to swim", but before she could, the group of black-clad men suddenly changed their tactics, retreating and switching from swords to bows. The arrowheads were all dyed a dark green color, clearly coated with poison.

  Feng Yu's heart was not good, and from then on, he didn't care whether he could swim or not. He pulled Huang Quan with him and jumped into the river with a loud splash.

  Huang Quan pulled Feng Yu's hand and quickly sank down, trying to avoid the poisonous arrows that broke through the water surface.

  Feng Yu Huan made an effort to open her eyes wide and stared at the water's surface, where a green poisonous liquid was slowly spreading. After looking for a while, she didn't see any red blood flowers, only then did she put her mind at ease.

  Unfortunately, his last breath was stifled to the limit, and after a few gurgling sounds, his consciousness began to blur.

  She vaguely saw Huang Quan tightly hugging her and desperately swimming forward. She wanted to tell Huang Quan not to be afraid, but unfortunately, as soon as she opened her mouth, the river water rushed in instantly, and Feng Yuexiang helplessly closed her eyes, losing her last bit of consciousness...

  The second young lady of the Feng family went out to check on the shops and had still not returned by dusk.

  In the capital, rumors are rife, and it's unclear when or where they started, but someone said that Miss Feng Er was kidnapped by a wicked person. As night is approaching, if she can't be found, her reputation will be ruined.

  It doesn't matter where it happens at night, as long as a girl is successfully abducted, her family's reputation is already lost.

  At this moment, all the masters of Fengfu were concentrated in the main hall of Peony Courtyard, with solemn expressions, and even their breathing was cautious.

  Before long, a maid rushed in hastily, holding a muddy shoe in her hands: "Someone said this was picked up by the river outside the city."

  Feng Pian Dai was the first to go over and take a look, and at a glance she recognized: "It's Second Sister's shoes, I've seen her wear them before, and when she came down from the Imperial Palace today, she was wearing this very pair."

  Xiang Rong furrowed her brow, "Fourth sister, don't talk nonsense. Second sister was clearly wearing a floor-length dress this morning, when did she ever show her feet to anyone?"

  "There's no way there isn't." Feng Pian Dai insisted on her own eyesight, "I did see it, this very pair."

  "It's all right." Feng Jin Yuan waved his hand, "Put your shoes here and go down."

  That girl put her shoes in the middle of the room and hastily left.

  Feng Jin Yuan looked at the old lady and said, "Mother, what do you think we should do about this?"

  The old lady felt that recently it was indeed an unlucky year, Shen's family had been framed and taken into the palace, and Feng Yuexiang had also gone missing. Who exactly wanted to deal with the Feng family?

  "Have you sent someone to look for her?" the old lady asked Feng Jin Yuan, "This matter cannot be taken lightly, the Imperial Palace is also keeping an eye on it."

  Feng Jin Yuan nodded, "Naturally, we've been searching all along. My son has sent out several groups of people, but there's no news so far. As for the Yu Wang Fu... I'm afraid they might have already received the news. But it's also possible that Your Highness is still in the palace and hasn't heard anything."

  Feng Chenyu wiped away a tear and said sorrowfully, "Second sister has finally achieved happiness after all her hardships, how could such a thing happen again? What will she do in the future?"

  Feng Pian Dai attached herself to the Dao: "Yes, it's a withered flower and a fallen willow, the royal family must be going to cancel the engagement."

  Feng Zi Rui immediately stopped upon hearing Fen Dai's words, which didn't seem to be praising her sister - "My sister is not a withered flower! That very powerful noble will definitely want my sister!"

  "Cut." Fengzi Hao, who was carried by someone on a soft chair and could only sit in the main hall, looked at Zirui with disdain. "Marrying a used woman would be a great shame for the royal family. What do you know at your young age?"

  "Master Yao has grown up, but why say such irresponsible words?" Madam Yao suddenly raised her head, glaring at Feng Zihao. "Second Miss is your sister after all, even if you don't love her, how can you kick her when she's down? Moreover, the person is only missing, Master and Mistress haven't said anything, why are you so eager to jump to conclusions?"

  "Wow!" Feng Zi Hao didn't expect that Yao Shi, whom he had always bullied at will, would also have a day when she dared to stand up for her daughter, and he couldn't help but

  "Ah, now that we've got some spirit, let's ask Old Lady Yao to tell us what our Second Miss is up to! Eh? Tsk tsk, her shoes are even off, saying she's innocent, who'd believe that?"

  Ms. Yao wasn't good at arguing with people, especially not with this kind of person, and couldn't even get three sentences out. But Fengzi Rui was young and naive, daring to say whatever came to mind, and suddenly said: "Big brother, if you keep talking about sister like that, the very powerful lord will whip you with his whip!"

  As soon as this was mentioned, Feng Zi Hao felt the whip that Xuan Tian Ming had lashed him with during the day start to throb with pain again. In his heart, he hated Xuan Tian Ming to death, but there was nothing he could do about it. The other man was a prince, the son of the Dragon King, what was he?

  He couldn't help but glance at Feng Jiyuan, only to see that Feng Jiyuan was also staring at him with a pair of angry eyes. Feng Zihao was so scared that he shrunk his neck and didn't dare say another word.

  The old lady's staff tapped the ground heavily, and she coughed lightly twice: "Madam Yao is right. It's not time to make a conclusion yet, the people we sent out haven't returned, let's wait a bit longer. Besides," she looked at Feng Jin Yuan: "Jin Yuan, you have to think of a way to shut the mouths of those in the capital, with this kind of rumor-spreading method, even false ones are being spread as true."

  Feng Jin Yuan nodded and replied: "Yes."

  Then everyone fell silent again.

  When Feng Yu Xuan opened his eyes, he was completely unable to understand where he was.

  Before her eyes was a crystal bead curtain that almost made her think she had traveled back to modern times, but after taking another look at the furnishings in the house, she gave up on that bold idea.

  The beam is made of sandalwood, the curtain is made of crystal, and a huge night pearl hangs above the bed, emitting soft and gentle light like a bright moon.

  She got up and went downstairs, but didn't know when she had changed into a brand new set of undergarments. The cotton fabric was soft and comfortable to wear on her body.

  He lowered his head again, and the ground was actually paved with sheep's fat white jade, inlaid with glass beads, every step carved a lotus flower, delicate to the extreme, even the stamens were clearly visible, making people look at it, their hearts calmed down.

  Feng Yu Huan was shocked beyond words.

  Even if it were her own birthplace, using all those fine things sent by the mysterious heavens to decorate it, it wouldn't be as luxurious as this.

  She stepped barefoot on the ground, and as soon as she touched the white jade floor, she felt a faint warmth emanating from it, with a soft texture that made her want to lie down on it.

  At this moment, the door was pushed open by someone. She stood there in a daze, staring blankly at the strange girl who came in.

  She looks like a young maid, but doesn't quite seem like one. The clothes she's wearing are made of better material than those worn by the ladies-in-waiting in the Phoenix Manor. Her small face is pretty and she has a light dusting of makeup on, making her look very pleasant to behold.

  Jingfeng Yu woke up, and the little maid put down the tea tray in her hand on the table, then bowed respectfully: "Young lady is awake!"

  She felt a surge of doubt in her mind.

  Calling her "young lady" instead of "Miss Feng the Second", it's clear that this place is not within the sphere of influence of the Feng family. This little girl's etiquette is also very proper, not something that can be compared to an ordinary wealthy family's upbringing.

  Phoenix Feather was stunned, and the girl didn't ask much either. She just walked up to support her to sit down next to the chair, poured her a cup of tea, then went to the bed to get her shoes and socks to help her put them on. Only then did she speak again: "Miss, please have some tea first. The kitchen has already prepared food, and it's just waiting for you to wake up and say you're hungry before bringing it up."

  The little girl said as she walked to the door, beckoning with her hand, and immediately another maid wearing the same clothes came forward, handing over the clothes in her hands. When that maid returned to her face, Feng Yuexian only then discovered that the clothes handed over were exactly what she was wearing when she left the Phoenix Manor today.

  "The young lady fell into the water earlier, and I changed all her clothes. This set was also washed clean and scented with incense. Besides, one shoe is missing, and His Highness has ordered someone to make a new one according to the original style. Although it can't be exactly the same in a short time, it should be able to deceive people's casual glances."

  "Your Highness?" Feng Yu Heng furrowed her brow, "Which Your Highness?"

  She only knew Xuan Tian Ming of the nine palaces below, but Xuan Tian Ming had never been ambiguous with her, so why didn't he come in and talk to her directly?

  "Where is this?" she asked again.

  The little girl smiled and replied: "This is the Moon Cold Palace of Concubine Yun."

  She let out a slight sigh of relief. Yun Fei Niang Niang was the mother of Xuan Tian Ming, and since she was in Yue Han Palace, then the one who saved her must be Xuan Tian Ming.

  But Xiao Yatou immediately added: "The Seventh Prince that Miss just asked about is indeed the Seventh Prince."

  "Your Highness?"
