171 Kidnapping the Prince

In the palace, the palace maids were secretly discussing. “This time, the Zhao family will definitely have a crown princess. Yesterday, I heard that the Fang family felt that their daughter wasn’t good enough for the crown prince, so they asked the empress to break off the engagement between Miss Fang Yu and the crown prince.”

“Zhao Panpan becoming the crown princess is a matter of course. The crown prince has been going in and out of the imperial study frequently these few days. I’m guessing that the emperor is planning to bestow a marriage. Think about it, how many times has Zhao Panpan been to the imperial study during this period of time?” The two palace maids talked as they walked, not knowing that the Empress had been standing behind them for a long time.

“How audacious! You’re spouting nonsense in the palace! Do you still want your tongues? Miss Panpan’s matters are not something you can discuss!” The nanny angrily rebuked, and the two palace maids’ faces turned pale. Seeing the empress standing behind them with an ashen face, they trembled and wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy.

“Pull out their tongues,” After the empress finished speaking, she walked away with an ashen face. She was a little confused. When did the crown prince become so bold that he dared to fool around with Panpan in the imperial study? The empress was a little uneasy, but the girls had been released from the palace, and the results of the selection of concubines were coming out soon. She had no room to turn things around, so she did not think much about it.

After Jiang Xi left the palace, she went straight to the Jiang residence.

“It’s going to rain soon. Pack up your clothes.” Jiang Xi casually said to the maidservant before entering the room. The maidservant was stunned. ‘How could there be rain with such a clear sky.’ Therefore, she casually responded and did not take it to heart. Who knew that just as she turned around, she heard a loud bang and a heavy downpour? The clothes that had just been washed were instantly soaked.

Jiang Xi had no time to pay attention to the stunned servant girl. She hurriedly entered the door to find Jiang Shan.”Third brother, when mother was pregnant with me, was there any strange phenomenon?” She took a sip of tea. She had a guess in her heart, but she was unwilling to admit it.

“What strange phenomenon can there be? If there were any abnormal signs, we would have been driven out by the villagers. It’s just that our village has been dry for three years, and it happened to rain on the day you were born. If it weren’t for that rain, you would also have died.” Jiang Shan suddenly stopped talking. His eyes rolled around, and he immediately stopped talking, not daring to say more.

Seeing Jiang Shan’s reaction, Jiang Xi immediately understood. Her heart sank, and she was very upset.

“Young Miss, Young Miss, it’s terrible!” Lu Liu ran in hurriedly, not caring about the rain that had poured on her head. “Young Miss, you didn’t come out of the palace with Miss Fang Yu, did you? Something big had happened. Fang Yu was too bold. It’s a good thing that Master Fang has resigned and returned to his hometown, or else he would have been beheaded.”

Hong Shan stepped in after Lu Liu. She was also much steadier than Lu Liu. When she saw Jiang Xi’s confused face, she quickly explained, “Young Miss, when Miss Fang Yu left the palace, she kidnapped the young prince. I heard that the soldiers in the city are searching for her. After the incident, Master Fang resigned from his post on the grounds of his age and inability to teach his daughter well. If it weren’t for the officials in the court who interceded on his behalf, I’m afraid he would have been beheaded by now.” As she spoke, Hong Shan’s expression turned a little ugly. Fang Yu was saved by Jiang Xi, so Fang Yu must not implicate Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi’s eyes widened in shock.

“She probably mixed in with the other girls and ran out of the palace. Everyone’s saying that Miss Fang Yu is unwilling to accept the crown prince’s rejection of her marriage, so she wants to abduct the young prince to make it up for her.” After saying that, Hong Shan lowered her head. ‘But the young prince is only six years old.’

“Fang Yu isn’t that kind of person.” Jiang Xi’s mouth moved, and her expression was the same. ‘That girl is really going to do something big this time. If they couldn’t catch her and the young prince, this country would be in deep trouble.’

“Right now, the guards of Jing City are searching every house in the city. Young Miss, you entered the palace with Miss Fang Yu, so I think someone will come and question you soon.” Hong Shan reminded Jiang Xi in a low voice, but Jiang Xi did not care. She had nothing to do with Fang Yu. The only connection she had was the kindness of digging Fang Yu out of her grave. However, the loss of the young prince in the palace gave the people in the palace a chance to punish her.

“I heard that the Fang family moved. Everyone ran away.” Hong Shan sighed. The world was really unpredictable. The Fang family had collapsed just like that. Miss Fang Yu really knew how to cause trouble.

Jiang Xi shook her head. The people in the mental hospital were all good at causing trouble. If people found out about it, Jiang Xi was afraid that something worse would happen.
