There was a lot of commotion downstairs in Zuihua Tower. A group of police officers and a large group of imperial guards were searching for something.

Chun Ke stood by the carved railing on the fourth floor, observing.

From the second floor upwards in Zuihua Tower, there are rooms for high-ranking officials, princes and nobles, and they are generally not disturbed by soldiers and officers.

At this moment, these officers and soldiers were only checking on the first floor.

"Imperial Guards? Why would the Imperial Guards be with those guys from the Imperial City Patrol?" Chun Ke frowned and thought, muttering to himself.

"What's going on?" Tang Xiaoyu walked out and saw the soldiers downstairs who were carefully checking, as if they were looking for someone.

Chun Ke shook his head and only said that it was unusual for the imperial guards to appear here.

Logically speaking, the imperial guards under the command of General Xia Jie should not be here.

"Oh? Xia Jie is here too? Interesting." Tang Xiaoyu said with an interested smile, but didn't care about these anomalies at all.

She just looked at the general who was checking the troops downstairs with burning eyes.

The moment Chun Ke saw Xia Jie, his eyes suddenly became serious.

He thought to himself, "Could it be that an assassin has sneaked into the imperial city? He has even attracted General Xia to come and investigate personally."

"Your Highness, I'm afraid it's not peaceful here. Let's leave and go back home quickly." Chun Ke said worriedly.

Tang Xiaoyu thought that nothing major should happen at this point in the original novel, but the appearance of her and Tang Zhao would change something to some extent.

Moreover, the original novel does not describe much about her and these male supporting characters, and many plots are just glossed over.

She did not dare to be careless. Since Xia Jie, a senior official and a powerful general, had been dispatched, the situation must be serious and dangerous.

"Okay, let's go back home." Tang Xiaoyu nodded, restrained his cynical look, and became serious.

……

In Zuihua Tower, Xia Jie's face was terribly cold, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he glanced around silently.

"General, no, we have finished searching this floor." A man who looked like an imperial guard came forward and reported.

Xia Jie gritted his teeth, and in anger he split the Zuihualou stage in half with a halberd, scaring everyone at the scene.

The madam and several young ladies hid behind the curtain and trembled.

"Damn it! After searching the first floor, search upstairs!" Xia Jie said angrily.

"But... General, many of the rooms upstairs are occupied by young masters of wealthy families, as well as many high-ranking officials and dignitaries." The soldier said with some embarrassment.

"No matter who he is, go and search him. If anything goes wrong, I, the general, will take the responsibility."

"Check them one by one. Even if the world turns upside down today, you have to find them for me!"

Xia Jie frowned, his eagle eyes full of indignation.

"Tonight, I will not stop until I catch that thief!"

In fact, just a few hours ago, everything was fine.

Originally, it was a wonderful night, and Xia Jie was in such a wonderful mood.

He had already bathed, changed his clothes, burned incense and washed his hands early, and even smoked some fruit-scented incense!

He hasn't seen his baby for a few days! He's missing her like crazy, okay?

Xia Jie pushed open the door of the warm room in a good mood. The gauze curtains in the room fluttered softly. He walked to the bed quietly and saw that the curtains were closed. He smirked twice.

"Little rascal, I'm here to catch you~"

Xia Jie impatiently pulled open the bed curtains. He couldn't wait any longer and had even prepared for it for so long.

Unexpectedly, there was nothing on the bed, only a piece of paper lying quietly next to the pillow.

(General Xia, I have robbed your treasure. Hehe, the guards in your general's mansion are no good. Bye~

——The Great Bandit Yihe

Xia Jie was so angry that he was shaking all over. He clenched the note in disbelief, his eyes wide open with anger.

His treasure! His poor, innocent, weak and helpless Heizi! Was it stolen?

How could such a big cat be stolen just like that?

I stole it from his house! This is unforgivable.

In less than a minute, Xia Jie had gathered a large group of soldiers and ordered them to search for the damn thief with all their might.

According to the duty personnel of the Imperial City Patrol, Xia Jie almost flew over and his mental state was very unstable.

"Yes, you heard it right. A notorious bandit named Yitiaohe came to my house and stole my beloved pet Heizi."

"Everyone in the Patrol Department, follow me and search for him. My men have already tracked down the thief and he is heading to Zuihualou."

"What? What kind of animal do you say Kuroko is? Isn't it obvious? A cat, a cat!"

"Ah? No, no, Heizi is a sweet, soft, fat white cat."

Patrol officer on duty: ...

General, do you want to look at what you are saying?

Who is the kindest person who calls a white cat Heizi? No, who is the kindest person who named a cat this?

Xia Jie didn't care about anything at all and just rushed to Zuihualou with his men.

How could he be calm! His pitiful, innocent, weak and helpless baby Heizi was stolen by a thief like that!!!

And they stole it from his house. How arrogant! How abominable! How different from tampering with the Tai Sui!

He spent two hours preparing to pet the cat! Two hours!

"Unforgivable! You bastard, I will never let you off easily once I catch you!"

Blackie~Blackie~My Blackie~

You wait for your father to save you.

……

Outside Zuihua Tower.

Chun Ke carried the drunk Cuizhi on his back and followed Tang Xiaoyu closely.

If there were police in this era, I think Chun Ke would definitely want to call them.

"This Cuizhi, she drinks like this." Tang Xiaoyu smiled helplessly.

Those young ladies in Zuihualou were really good at getting Cuizhi drunk. They almost made her stupid.

"Hmm~ Your Highness~ Your Highness~" Cuizhi was drunk and confused, and kept mumbling Xiaoyu.

"This child is so loyal that he doesn't forget me even when he is drunk." Xiaoyu smiled with an expression of doting and helplessness, feeling secretly happy.

The night was warm and the lanterns hung high in the carriage yard where the carriages were parked, illuminating the entire yard, and the moonlight was also very bright.

The three of them found their carriages in the parking lot at a glance.

After all, the carriage of the Princess's Mansion is particularly easy to recognize, it is the largest and most luxurious one.

The car is inlaid with gold and jade. Just look at it. No one will say a word when they see it.

This carriage was built by the original owner on her birthday two years ago. The tyrant brother spent a huge amount of money to build it for her.

The wood used to build the car alone was priceless, and with the decorations and jewels, it cost a total of six thousand taels of silver.

Xiaoyu admired the priceless carriage for a while before going up slowly. She also helped Chunke lift Cuizhi up.

Unexpectedly, as Xiaoyu just pulled open the curtain, an extremely sharp knife stretched out from the carriage and was placed squarely on her neck.

"How bold!" Chun Ke immediately drew his sword upon seeing this, pointing it directly at the assassin hidden behind the curtain of the carriage.

The man in the carriage said slowly, "If you don't want your master to die, keep your voice down. I am a desperate criminal. If you attract soldiers, I will die with your master."

The voice sounded nonchalant, probably only about twenty years old.

"Please spare my life, my dear. I will give you whatever you want. You said peace brings wealth, why are you brandishing swords and knives, haha."

"Hey brother, your knife is pretty good, hahahaha, brother, have you eaten? Come to my house and have some?"

"Hey brother, are you tired of holding the knife? Why don't you put it down and eat some cakes? The osmanthus cake I bought is delicious."

"Brother, please put the knife down first."

Tang Xiaoyu was very panicked. How many days of wealth and glory did she have to enjoy?

She doesn't want to die. She hasn't taken him more than ten or twenty male lovers yet, so she can't die.

She fired her mouth like a machine gun, afraid that the assassin would chop her with a knife.

Inside the carriage: "..."

"Are you really the eldest princess? Isn't it said that you are beautiful, intelligent, fragile, gentle, polite, and extremely dignified?"

The person in the carriage spoke in confusion, with some inquiry in his tone.

"You seem different from the rumors, but I heard that our eldest princess is extremely beautiful and charming. I wonder if it is true."

Tang Xiaoyu: “…”

She wanted to say, brother, the rumors are not to be believed. They are all made up by his tyrant brother.

His brother was really bold, blaming her for everything, saying she was beautiful, intelligent, and fragile? She was gentle, polite, and well-behaved.

Tang Xiaoyu almost laughed out loud. This tyrant is so bold to say that.

"She is beautiful, intelligent, dignified and polite. I don't know about that."

"But... her beauty is unparalleled, and she is definitely not fake."

Xiaoyu's voice was filled with deadly temptation. With her hands behind her back, she had quietly pulled out a sharp hairpin from Cuizhi's head.

"Oh, I've seen a lot of women. Do you say she is extremely beautiful and gorgeous?" The man in the carriage sneered, his tone full of disdain and mockery, and he held the knife tighter.

Tang Xiaoyu was not annoyed, she continued to seduce with her seductive voice.

"Really? Why not see for yourself to see if it's fake?"
