After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

Bai Youyou and Bai Luochuan made a surprise attack and went to the back door of Jufulou.

Bai Youyou ordered Bai Luochuan: "Brother, you stay here and guard. If someone comes out, follow them first. Don't act rashly."

"What about you?"

Bai Luochuan's heart beat faster and he clenched his fists nervously.

"I'll go take a look inside Jufulou and come back in a bit."

Bai Youyou turned around, and Bai Luochuan grabbed her wrist and looked at her with a worried look on his face, "Uncle Xu is just having dinner with the prince, are you overthinking it?"

"Brother, Uncle Xu always keeps his word. If he says he will come back, he will definitely come back. Not to mention that Jufulou is only this small, it's just a few steps away. Uncle Xu would not let the guards around the prince come to pass on the message. Something must have happened."

"Then you stay here and I'll go and see."

Bai Youyou warned: "Be careful, don't let the prince's people find out."

"Ah."

Bai Luochuan was afraid that something might really happen to Xu Lingyun, so he walked quickly towards Jufulou.

As soon as he left, the door to the backyard was opened, but Zhu San, who was beside the prince, was not there, but another middle-aged man with a handsome appearance.

Before Bai Youyou could even hide, her eyes met his.

She was about to turn around and leave when the man called out to her, "Wait a minute, Bai girl."

Bai Youyou stopped and turned to look at him, her sparkling eyes showing a hint of suspicion and vigilance, "Who are you?"

The man curled the corners of his lips, trying his best to make himself look more amiable.

"I'm Zhao Qianqian's father. Qianqian always mentions you to me at home."

"Uncle Zhao."

Bai Youyou suppressed the vigilance in her eyes and smiled sweetly, "You are also having dinner here today."

Minister Zhao glanced into the Jufulou and waved at her, "Come here, I have something to tell you."

Bai Youyou walked over, and Minister Zhao looked around before asking in a low voice, "Are you here to see Lord Xu?"

Bai Youyou nodded, "Do you know where my Uncle Xu went?"

"Lord Xu was forced to drink by the prince's men, and he is still in Jufulou. But..."

Minister Zhao looked around and lowered his voice, "I don't think they have good intentions. Keep a close eye on them and don't let Lord Xu get tricked."

"You were also drinking with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, so why did you come out?"

"I just pretended to be drunk to go to the bathroom..."

When talking to a little girl about this, Minister Zhao looked away, as if he was a little embarrassed.

Bai Youyou sighed, "Alas, my Uncle Xu is not as smart as you."

"A high-ranking official can crush anyone, let alone the Lord of the East Palace. The Crown Prince intends to target Lord Xu today, so it is normal for him to be unable to get away."

"Uh!"

Minister Zhao burped and stroked his chest, "Go wait in Jufulou. The prince and his men will definitely not come out from this back door."

Bai Youyou looked at the corner door behind him, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Then I'll go to Jufulou. Do you want me to notify your people to pick you up?"

"No need, my carriage is just ahead, I can just walk there myself."

Minister Zhao patted his sleeves and walked towards another alley of Jufulou with a gait of eight characters.

Bai Youyou rolled her eyes and walked along the alley she came from towards the front of Jufulou.

The footsteps faded away, and the drunken look on Minister Zhao's face instantly disappeared. He stopped, turned around and looked behind him.

Bai Youyou's figure disappeared from the alley. He curled his lips and smiled, "You little girl, you think you are capable, but you are just a fool who has just started out."

He hummed a little tune in a good mood and entered the small door of Jufulou again.

The door creaked shut, and at the corner of the back alley, Bai Youyou squeezed out from the gap.

She brushed off the wall dust that had rubbed off on her body, and the obedient smile from before was no longer on her face.

"You idiot, you really think you can fool people with just a few words. Your brain is just as good as that idiot from the Bai family."

The capital city is such a small place, she has never seen Zhao Qianqian's father, but Zhao Qianqian is his daughter, and there is always some similarity between them in their eyes and eyebrows.

Moreover, Lord Zhao is a man of integrity, how could he smile at others like this? It's obvious that he is a sycophant!

Bai Youyou found a secluded place to squat. Soon, the man and Zhu San supported the drunk Xu Lingyun and stood in front of the small door.

"Da da da". The sound of horse hooves and wheels rang out. Bai Youyou watched them help Xu Lingyun onto the carriage.

Where are you taking this person?

Bai Youyou followed the carriage from a distance.

Fortunately, when they got out of the alley, the street was crowded with people coming and going, and the flow of people obscured her figure.

Bai Youyou was panting and sweating profusely. The carriage in front was moving faster and faster, and her chopstick-like legs were almost broken.

In a teahouse on the street, Lu Huaizhen suddenly caught sight of her running figure out of the corner of his eye, and his drooping eyelids suddenly lifted.

"Did this girl get robbed?"

He put down the teacup, supported himself on the windowsill with his right hand, and jumped down from the second floor like a swallow.

Bai Youyou ran for nearly half an hour, panting heavily, and her throat felt hoarse and uncomfortable as if it was filled with sand.

Suddenly, someone tapped my shoulder.

She glanced sideways and saw that it was the sickly prince, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"King Xian, do you have a horse? Lend it to me!"

"What are you doing?"

Lu Huaizhen looked at her face which was covered in sweat and looked like a monkey's butt, and asked while trying not to smile.

"The prince got my uncle Xu unconscious, and now I don't know where he's taking him. I have to go and take a look."

Bai Youyou wiped the sweat from his forehead, supported his knees with his hands, and breathed heavily, staring at the carriage in front of him without blinking.

Lu Huaizhen looked in the direction of her gaze, then immediately turned around and walked back, "You chase first, I'll follow!"

Bai Youyou swallowed his saliva and continued to chase after him with his legs that felt like they were filled with lead.

Fortunately, not long after, Lu Huaizhen came over on a brown horse and stretched out his hand to Bai Youyou, "Give me your hand!"

Bai Youyou raised her hand and placed it on his palm, using the force to gain leverage, she jumped directly onto the horse.

"Hurry, they just went in that direction!"

"drive!"

Lu Huaizhen squeezed the horse's belly with his legs and galloped wildly in the direction of her finger.

This side street was sparsely populated, and when they chased after it, there was no trace of the carriage.

Bai Youyou grabbed the saddle with an anxious look on his face, "Where did they go?"

"Don't worry."

Lu Huaizhen comforted her, jumped off the horse and examined the ground carefully.

He found the marks of a wheel in a damp place. After figuring out the direction, he immediately jumped on his horse and ran towards the alley nearby.

"My uncle Xu doesn't live in West City."

"Don't worry, take a look first."

Lu Huaizhen looked around and after determining where he was, he immediately had a guess in his mind.
