What did she just say? The young mistress isn't feeling well and is currently resting in her room …

Oh my god! This white lie of hers, could it be counted as deceiving the king?!

Pearl's body went limp and she knelt on the ground with a thud. She was so scared that her tears flowed. She said while trembling, "This servant is lying. Miss is not in her room."

Heh! Xuanyuan Chen laughed in secret before turning his head to Pearl who was trembling in fear and asked, "Your young lady is not in her room, so where is she?" Seeing Pearl stutter without saying a word, Xuanyuan Chen Mo lowered his voice and continued, "If you don't speak the truth, that is the crime of deceiving the monarch! Don't you want your head? "

"Your servant doesn't want to die!" Lifting her head in fear, Pearl's tears rolled down as she hurriedly said, "The Young Miss was kidnapped by someone. The other party wanted one hundred thousand gold, otherwise … will tear up the votes! "

"What!?" As soon as Pearl finished speaking, Xuanyuan Chenmo and Dongfang Shuotian asked nervously, while Madame Dongfang was so frightened that she couldn't even speak.

"Today, Miss and I went out on the street and bought candied fruits to eat. Who knew that Miss would walk in the dark alley and those grey robed men would surround us, all of them smiling very happily … "Very …" Pearl scratched her head, not knowing how to describe that wretched smile. She bit her lips, and decided to skip this part, then said: "Anyway, Miss came back to her senses in a hurry, and ordered a servant to come back and get the silver. She also said that she was a member of the Dongfang family, so those people agreed to let me come back to report and prepare the silver."

Hearing Pearl's words, Xuanyuan Chen Mo's expression sank. In broad daylight, someone actually dared to kidnap a civilian girl, and it was at the foot of the Son of Heaven in the capital city! Wouldn't the world be thrown into chaos!

He had to take matters into his own hands as soon as possible. He had to put an end to this sort of thing and return the people to a prosperous world!

"Damn it!" "Ah!" With a low curse, a layer of sullenness immediately covered Xuanyuan Chen's face, causing Pearl to hurriedly kowtow. Your majesty, please spare my life! Your servant deserves to die! Please spare my life, Your Majesty! "

"I'm not talking to you." Taking a big step over Pearl, Xuanyuan Chen Mo walked onto the chair and asked Pearl with a calm voice, "Tell me, what did those people say? Where are the ransom payments? What are their characteristics?"

Dongfang Shuotian, who was frowning with anxiety because his beloved daughter had been kidnapped, suddenly felt relieved when he heard what Xuanyuan Chen Mo said. The Sovereign King that he had personally supported already had the demeanor of a Son of Heaven. It seemed like it was time for him to let go of this matter.

But... Thinking of his beloved daughter, Dongfang Qingtian's heart couldn't help but sink! In order to achieve the imperial career and let the young emperor truly learn the art of power, shouldn't he let his two children accompany him in a crisis?

After listening to Pearl's staccato narration, Xuanyuan Chen Mo had a better understanding of Dongfang Ziqing's situation.

After a moment of silence, Xuanyuan Chen Mo looked to Dongfang Shuo Tian and asked with his usual understanding, "What do you think these people are?"
