After the palace banquet, the emperor kept a few ministers to talk with the prince, and the others left the palace one after another.

After Bai Chuxiao and Kong Xihan said goodbye at the palace gate, they got on the carriage.

"Miss, nothing happened today, right? I am getting anxious waiting outside," Lan Xin asked.

Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "I was tricked by the King of Qi and was only poisoned by a little aphrodisiac. I have recovered now and it is no longer a problem."

Lan Xin said angrily, "Miss, let me take another look. The King of Qi is so vicious. You are already engaged to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, why is he still rushing to harass you?"

Bai Chuxiao shook her head in confusion. The King of Qi really seemed to be mentally ill. Thinking of what happened today, Bai Chuxiao closed her eyes and pondered the intention behind it.

Lan Xin saw her closing her eyes to rest and did not say anything to disturb her.

After a while, Bai Chuxiao felt that the journey was too quiet, and suddenly opened her eyes. Lan Xin was startled, "Miss, what's wrong?"

"There's a problem. The road we're on now is wrong." As soon as the words fell, a long arrow whizzed through the carriage and shot in. Bai Chuxiao immediately blocked it.

In a remote alley in the capital, the carriage of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion was parked quietly. Lan Xin lifted the curtain and found that the coachman had disappeared. The carriage was surrounded by people. The man in the lead was wearing an inconspicuous gray-white clothes, with a scruffy beard and messy long hair covering half of his face. Behind him was a group of masked men in black.

"You're lucky to be alive. The one inside should get out right now!"

Lan Xin turned around with a gloomy face and said, "Miss..." Bai Chuxiao shook her head at her.

Seeing this, Lan Xin had no choice but to bite her lip and help her get off the carriage.

"What are you trying to do..." Bai Chuxiao, with a pale face and some blood on his left shoulder, asked weakly.

The leading man sneered, with an evil look in his eyes, "Is this the eldest daughter of the Bai family, the future Princess of Yan? She is pretty, but her martial arts skills are just so-so..."

Lan Xin stood in front of Bai Chuxiao and said, "Since you know our identities, how dare you block our way in broad daylight? What do you want to do?"

The leading man laughed grimly again, "Prince Yan and the Bai family are nothing. Others may be afraid, but I am not..."

Bai Chuxiao stared at her and said in a deep voice, "Does that mean the person behind this has a grudge against me?"

He was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "There is no one behind the scenes, I just want to have some fun with the girl, what can you do?"

Bai Chuxiao chuckled and said, "You dare to put on such a posture in the capital, the person behind you must be powerful. I guess you have received a lot of benefits from others, right? Let me think... It can't be Chu Tianling, tell me how much money he gave you, I will give you double, how about you let us go?"

The man actually thought about it seriously after hearing this, and seemed to think it was not bad. "Who is Chu Tianling? I don't know him, but someone did spend fifty thousand taels to buy your life. Double? Can you afford it?"

"No problem, if you let us go now, I will give you 100,000 taels. It just so happens that I have received a lot of rewards today, so this little bit of silver is nothing."

Apart from the two from the Bai family and Chu Tianling, she has no enemies. The wedding date with Prince Yan has not been set yet. Even if they are Prince Yan's enemies, they don't have to take their anger out on her. Fifty thousand taels is not a small amount. This group of people seem to be quite skilled. I think it was the brainless work of Prince Qi.

If she wanted to leave, she could naturally leave. However, Lan Xin was only good at treating poisons, and her kung fu was mediocre. If she started fighting now, she would not be able to take care of Lan Xin. She was afraid that Lan Xin would not be able to escape death, so it would be better to pretend to be a snake with them first, and then make plans. When the man and the people behind him heard the 100,000 taels, their eyes turned green, but they did not dare to act rashly. "If we let you go back, how can we survive?"

Bai Chuxiao smiled faintly and said, "If you really don't believe me, I will stay here and let this girl go back to get the money. When the time comes, I will let her go after paying her. You came here for money, so why bother fighting with me? There aren't many deals this good."

"She can go back, but you have to take the muscle softening powder first." Maybe Chu Tianling told them that she knew martial arts, so they were worried.

Seeing that this was indeed a muscle softening powder, Bai Chuxiao took it without any concern.

Seeing this, the man laughed and said, "Okay, Miss Bai is really courageous. You, go back and get the money. Don't let me find out that you brought people here. If other people find out, you will have to wait for your lady to collect her body."

Lan Xin, who was pointed at, shook her head and said, "I'm not going back. I'm staying. Miss, you go."

The man said angrily, "Your life is worthless, get out of here!"

Before Lan Xin could say anything else, Bai Chuxiao shouted, "Lan Xin, you go first."

Lan Xin had no choice but to bite her lip and nodded.

Seeing Lan Xin hurriedly leaving, the leading man pointed at the two people behind him and said, "Follow her, don't let her play any tricks, if she moves, just kill her directly."

Then he looked at Bai Chuxiao and said, "Ms. Bai, please, do you want to go by yourself, or do you want us to..."

Bai Chuxiao looked at him coldly, "I'll go by myself"

The group quickly left the capital and came to a mountain about dozens of miles away from the capital. She was kidnapped by a group of bandits in broad daylight at the feet of the emperor. Seeing this, she couldn't help but feel speechless. Are the bandits at the foot of the capital so rampant?

Perhaps because of the 100,000 taels of silver, she was not treated badly, but was locked up in a simple room.

Bai Chuxiao sat on the ground with a calm expression. The blood on her shoulder was just a pretense to make them relax their vigilance. She was not injured at all. She thought about Lan Xin. There were only two people following her. Lan Xin should be able to escape by taking the poison by surprise.

She walked to the door and listened to the noise outside. It seemed that the leading man and another person were arguing fiercely.

She thought about it and came back to sit down. She had previously done special training on medicine for martial arts, and had resistance to some common medicines such as muscle softening powder. Feeling that her martial arts had slowly recovered, she curled the corners of her mouth.

Now that she was here, she was not in a hurry. She wanted to see how many tricks Chu Tianling had.

As soon as Chu Tianze stepped out of the palace, Mo Yan came up to him with an anxious look on his face, "Your Highness, something bad has happened. Someone just came to report that there are rumors in the capital that Miss Bai was kidnapped by a flower thief."

Chu Tianze's expression suddenly changed. Xiaoxiao's skills should be too much for ordinary people to catch her. "Send someone to the Bai family to see if Xiaoxiao has returned. Mo Wen, go to the Murong family and ask if Xiaoxiao is there."

Mo Wen, who always kept silent, quickly responded, "Yes, I'll go right away."

Chu Tianze hurriedly took Mo Yan back to the mansion, and then ordered, "Notify the people below to use all means to quell the rumors first. This king does not want to hear another word that will ruin Xiao Xiao's reputation."

"Yes, I obey my orders."

But a moment later, Mo Wen came in with an imposing man, "Greetings, Your Highness, Prince Yan, Xiao Xiao is indeed missing, have you found anything?"
