Long Live the Empress

There were more than a dozen black horses parked at the foot of the mountain, their hooves wrapped in thick cloth.

When the man in black who stayed behind saw his companion coming back carrying a woman, he quickly untied the horse rope so that he could set off at any time.

The scarred man put Yue Jinghong on the horse's back, waved the whip, and rode away with his men.

Because the horses' hooves were wrapped with cloth, the group of horses did not make any sound in the silent night...

The horse galloped for more than half an hour and finally stopped in front of a mountain village.

The scarred man carried Yue Jinghong on his shoulders and returned to his bedroom. The remaining men looked at each other, rubbed their hands, and followed him.

It was too dark in the Taoist temple and no one could see Yue Jinghong's appearance clearly. But when they saw her now, their mouths were watering.

"Boss, I have never seen such a beautiful girl in my life!"

The scarred man looked at his men obscenely, "I'll let you have a taste of this noble lady from the capital later! Haha..."

Amid the laughter of the crowd, Yue Jinghong woke up faintly, and saw the men in the room, and screamed in fear. "You caught the wrong person, I'm not the one you're looking for..."

Unexpectedly, this shout made the men even more excited. One of them held Yue Jinghong's wrist, and two of them grabbed her ankles.

The obscene laughter of the men in the room became louder and louder, while Yue Jinghong's screams became quieter and quieter...

Yue Jinghao took a small boat back to her own room. Seeing that the golden silk curtain that Madam Hong had untied had actually changed shape, one could imagine how fiercely Yue Jinghong had struggled at that time.

"Do you think I'm too cruel..." Yue Jinghao murmured as she looked at the two people in the room.

But Agate shook her head with red eyes, "No, it's all their fault. Miss is kind-hearted and has never hurt anyone. If Miss hadn't been prepared this time, she would have been the one to suffer!"

Madam Hong was also unable to conceal her anger. "That's right, Miss, you don't have to blame yourself. If not, you wouldn't have a chance to survive! They are reaping the fruits of their own actions!"

Yue Jinghao looked at the lotus pond outside the window for a long time without saying a word, just watching the breeze blowing countless lotus leaves...

Early in the morning, Zhenzhu rubbed her sore neck and habitually wanted to cover Yue Jinghong with a quilt, but there was no sign of Yue Jinghong on the couch.

Zhenzhu was shocked. There was no place in the room to hide anyone, so she hurried out to look for him.

After searching the entire Qingshan Taoist Temple, Yue Jinghong was nowhere to be found. Zhenzhu was sweating profusely and had no choice but to go find Yue Jinghao.

Yue Jinghao was copying scriptures with Meng when she saw Zhenzhu kneeling on the ground crying, "Miss... it's bad... the second young lady is missing..."

Yue Jinghao paused with a look of surprise, "What do you mean by that? What do you mean, my second sister is missing?"

Pearl wiped away her tears and said, "This morning, when I woke up, I found that the Second Young Miss was not there, so I hurried to look for her, but I looked everywhere and couldn't find her! Miss, please give me some advice!"

"What?" Yue Jinghao felt dizzy because she stood up too quickly. If Meng and Manju hadn't supported her in time, she would have fallen. "Madame Hong, Manju, go find Jinghong! By the way, don't... don't alarm others!"

Meng also ordered her maids to search separately and report immediately when they found any news.

Yue Jinghao was so anxious that she couldn't sit still. "Mrs. Meng, I'd better let you go out and look for him! I'm really worried!"

Mrs. Meng pulled Yue Jinghao to sit down, "If Miss Yue goes out, where will the servants find you when they bring back the news? Miss Yue, you should sit down and wait!"

Yue Jinghao had no choice but to sit down, looking anxiously towards the door.

It wasn't until the afternoon that the maids came back one after another, "Miss, we have searched everywhere, but we can't find the Second Miss."

Mrs. Meng looked at Yue Jinghao, who looked pale, and waved them away, "Miss Yue, are you okay?"

Yue Jinghao burst into tears all of a sudden. "Madam, I have to go back home and inform my father. Please don't spread the news about my second sister, otherwise my second sister's reputation..."

Mrs. Meng held Yue Jinghao's hand and said, "Miss Yue, don't worry. I will be conservative. Let the servant ride back on a fast horse to report the news! Miss Yue, please wait a little longer. Maybe the second young lady will come back by herself!"

Yue Jinghao wiped her tears, thought about it, and agreed.

Prime Minister's Mansion

The old lady stayed by Yue Tianhong's side, watching him slowly open his eyes, "My dear grandson, you are finally awake!"

Aunt Su also came over and touched Yue Tianhong's hair, "Young Master, are you hungry? Eat something!"

Yue Tianhong nodded and was about to stand up when he saw a dusty servant kneeling on the ground, reporting in a tearful voice, "Old Madam... Young Miss..."

Yue Tianhong and Aunt Su looked at each other quickly, and it was done!

The old lady frowned, "What's wrong, young lady? Don't be so hesitant!"

"Miss...Miss is missing!"

The old lady's cane fell to the ground. "What did you say?"
