He personally led the way and took them to a side room in the backyard and said, "This is it."
Mu Xuechu thanked her, opened the door and walked in with Xiao Jialan.
I saw sandalwood was burning in this wing, but Mrs. Mu was nowhere to be seen.
Mu Xuechu called out: "Mother."
When Xiao Jialan saw no sign that anyone had lived here, she suddenly realized something was wrong and hurriedly said: "We have been fooled!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the door behind her was slammed shut. Xiao Jialan was about to go over to check when she felt dizzy and had no strength in her body. Only then did she realize that the sandalwood was poisonous.
She and Mu Xuechu both fell to the ground, unconscious.
...
The Duke's Mansion.
When Yuan Chen and Ye Jinming rushed back, they saw Su Xinyue and Xin Ruyi waiting for them in front of the door.
The two of them got off their horses and walked over quickly. Yuan Chen asked, "It was you who sent the letter. What happened?"
Xin Ruyi said: "Sister Jialan and sister Xuechu disappeared. I asked the housekeeper and he said that sister Xuechu's second brother came back and took them away.
I thought they went to the General's Mansion, but I sent someone to ask, but Mrs. Mu said they didn't go back and I don't know where they went."
"What?"
Yuan Chen's expression changed, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He turned back to Feng Mian and said, "Send someone to look for him!"
Ye Jinming was also confused. He asked, "Who do you think took away Jialan and Miss Mu?"
Xin Ruyi said: "The housekeeper said he is sister Xuechu's second brother. This is the first time I have heard that she has a second brother."
Yuan Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "How could I have forgotten this person? It must have been Yuan Hao who did it. He was so sick that he rushed to the doctor and wanted to use Mu Zongping's hand to kidnap Mu Xuechu!"
He turned around and got on the horse. Ye Jinming asked, "Where are you going?"
Yuan Chen said: "Prince Ping's Mansion!"
Ye Jinming hurriedly followed, not forgetting to tell Xin Ruyi: "You guys stay at the Duke's Mansion and you are not allowed to go anywhere!"
After leaving these words, he and Yuan Chen led the people and rode towards Prince Ping's Mansion.
Yuan Hao is waiting for news at his house. Once Mu Zongping succeeds, he will send him a message. It has to be said that this man is as ambitious as him.
He asked for cooperation, and he agreed without much thought.
With his help, are you worried about not getting Mu Xuechu?
But before the news about Mu Zongping arrived, someone broke into his mansion.
Hearing a bang, the guards smashed the door. Yuan Hao was shocked. He looked up and saw Yuan Chen walking in with an evil aura all over his body.
Such momentum startled him, and he stammered: "Emperor...Brother, what are you doing?"
Yuan Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yuan Hao at the house. With him there, Jialan would be less in danger.
He walked over and suddenly pinched Yuan Hao's neck and asked, "Where did you ask Mu Zongping to take this person? Tell me!"
Yuan Hao shuddered, his breathing was a little rough, but he was not suffocating.
He said: "I...I don't know what the emperor is talking about?"
"I don't know, that's good!"
Yuan Chen raised his leg and kicked Yuan Hao hard. Hearing Yuan Hao scream, cold sweat broke out all over his body.
Yuan Chen let go of his hand and saw Yuan Hao curled up on the ground in pain, with blood stains on his clothes underneath.
Yuan Hao lay on the ground and looked at Yuan Chen and said: "You...don't forget your identity. You are the prince and you are killing your brothers here. I am going to tell my father!"
