The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

After Shen Jiarou finished speaking, Jiang Shengping and others frowned.

Jiang Ruofan led his men to search for people for the second time. In a desolate place, the eleven people were surrounded by masked men in black.

The ten guards were horrified and drew their swords. The masked men in black spread out sleeping pills and soon everyone fainted on the ground.

Jiang Ruofan was carried away on the back of a horse.

Late at night, Shen Jiarou dreamed that Jiang Ruofan was tied up and taken to an unknown place. She woke up suddenly and sat up.

Hearing the noise, Zhang Zirou hurriedly opened the door and walked quickly to the bed, and Nami and Kaier hurriedly followed.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Jiarou's face was covered in sweat. Nami went to light a candle to illuminate the room. Kaier quickly took out a clean handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Shen Jiarou.

"I dreamed that my husband got into trouble and was tied up and taken away."

Thinking about what might happen to him, Shen Jiarou lost her composure and got out of bed directly.

"Help me change my clothes quickly, and take my whip, slingshot, and sword."

In less than two quarters of an hour, Shen Jiarou, wearing a plain green dress and a blue-gray cloak, walked out of the Regent Princess's Mansion. There was no ornament in her hair. She climbed on her horse with a long sword in her hand.

Zheng Shutong was originally preparing to follow, but was stopped by Shen Jiarou, who asked her to take care of the house.

Before dawn, Shen Jiarou, Zhang Zirou, Nami, Shen Feimo and thirty personal guards appeared at the city gate.

The guard at the city gate stopped everyone, and Shen Jiarou took out the token from her arms.

"I am the regent princess. I need to leave the city for something. I hope you can open the city gate quickly."

When the guards heard this, they immediately bowed.

"Yes, Princess Regent."

"Quick, open the city gate."

At the same time, Uncle Hei, Eunuch Liu, and Zhaermu also left the city gate from the opposite direction with twenty guards.

Uncle Hei waved his whip and said, "Go!"

Twenty-three people rode out of the city at full speed. Shen Jiarou's move still awakened many people in the capital.

Half an hour later, Shen Jiarou pulled the reins.

"Xu."

Shen Jiarou looked at her guards and said, "Divide into eight teams to search for the Prince Consort and the Third Young Master. Come back and gather in two quarters of an hour."

All the guards bowed in unison: "Yes."

Looking at the guards scattering in all directions, Shen Jiarou's brows never relaxed.

Zhang Zirou was worried about her master's health, she pursed her lips and spoke to comfort him.

"Princess, please don't worry. Maybe they are lost."

"Let's go down and rest for a while."

Zhang Zirou and the other two bowed: "Yes."

At the morning court today, Emperor Wenzong of Tang directly impeached the Tenth Prince.

"Your Majesty, please send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly. Why was Jiang Ziheng taken away by the son of the Tenth Prince's mansion and has not returned yet? No one has informed the Regent Princess and the Prince Consort and others."

The Tenth Prince was under pressure. He looked up at Ji Chenyu who was sitting on the dragon throne, only to see that his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He was shocked and immediately knelt down to apologize.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know, and yesterday the Fourth Princess sent her personal guards to surround my palace."

The Minister of Revenue, Lord Mu, said, "Tenth Prince, this matter is not really the fault of the Regent Princess, because this matter is directly related to your residence."

The Tenth Prince felt so ashamed of himself after hearing what he said, and Ji Chenyu's dignified face was filled with a cold look.

"Old Ten, what's going on? Has your child who is involved in this matter returned?"

The Tenth Prince said tremblingly: "Royal brother, please don't worry about this matter. I really didn't know about it beforehand, but don't worry, I will definitely do it."

Shi Cheng bore the pressure from Ji Chenyu and the court officials.

At the same time, there were also court officials who spoke for him.

"Your Majesty, the Regent Princess ordered her personal guards to surround the Ten Princes' Palace. This is obviously not in compliance with etiquette and is an overstepping of authority."

The Minister of Industry bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the regent princess originally used the reason of safety in the palace as an excuse, and her reason is legitimate. I don't think this is an overstepping of authority."

Today is a grand court meeting, and Lord Changbo is also among them. Upon hearing the Minister of Works say this, he also bowed and stepped out.

"Your Majesty, I agree with what the Minister of Industry said."

The court was arguing fiercely about the Regent Princess surrounding the Ten Princes' Palace. Some people were arguing with each other, while others remained neutral.

Seeing the fierce quarrel below, Ji Chenyu also realized many things. One-third of the people in the court were speaking for the Tenth Prince, which made him feel that the imperial power was threatened.

Shen Jiarou and her men had been searching for two hours, but she was still tense and had not found any relief.

"Princess Regent, no one was found."

"Princess Regent, there is no one ahead."

"Keep looking."

Zhang Zirou, riding on horseback, shouted around.

"Prince Consort, Third Young Master, where are you?"

Shen Feimo, who was originally riding a horse, used his Qinggong skills to check the surrounding situation from the tree from time to time.

Jiang Ziheng, whose voice had long been hoarse, was exhausted from hunger.

"Someone come and save me."

He regretted why he listened to Ji Yumu's words and let himself fall into such a situation. No wonder his mother said that he was stupid and heartless. At this moment, he really realized how stupid he was, but it was too late.

He looked up at the sun above the cave entrance and felt tired and thirsty. He was even afraid that he would die here.

Another half hour passed, and as time went by, Jiang Ziheng became more and more scared.

"Help, mother, father, grandfather. Please come and save Heng'er."

"Grandmother, your precious grandson has fallen into a pit. Please send someone to rescue me."

Slowly he began to cry again, this time even more sadly than before.

Shen Jiarou frowned due to being tired from sitting. Just as she was about to dismount, she discovered that she seemed to hear some noises.

Zhang Zirou was stunned when she saw that she didn't move.

"Princess. What's wrong?"

"Let them all be quiet." She seemed to hear someone talking, and she had to listen quietly to make out what was going on.

Zhang Zirou nodded solemnly: "Yes."

"Everyone stop and be quiet."

When everyone quieted down, Shen Jiarou pricked up her ears to listen, and even closed her eyes to feel it carefully.

"Princess, did you hear something?"

Shen Jiarou didn't say anything. She felt that what happened just now was not an illusion. Perhaps someone was calling for help.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhang Zirou also listened carefully. After a quarter of an hour of listening without any results, she heard a faint sound.

Shen Jiarou showed surprise on her face and started looking for the source of the sound.

"Five hundred meters ahead."

Zhang Zirou was shocked when she heard this, but then she reacted and quickly gave orders.

"Hurry, let's go, check all the way for the next 500 meters."

Shen Jiarou tightened the reins and rode forward.

"drive!"

Zhang Zirou hurriedly caught up when she saw Shen Jiarou, who stopped 500 meters behind her.

She looked up and around, and found that everything was weird.

Shen Jiarou looked at a guard and said, "You shout."

"Yes."

"Prince Consort, Third Young Master, where are you?"

Following the echo, Shen Jiarou continued riding forward. In a moment of carelessness, she and her horse fell into the pit. At the critical moment, she used her lightness skills to stay on a tree.
