Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

There were many eyes and ears in the palace, so the two did not talk much. After finishing their business, they left.

As expected, the day after Bai Fenglin returned home, he sent an invitation to Feng Yu, inviting him to go boating on the lake three days later to discuss the matter of returning the Qiu family's spirit tablet to the ancestral home.

Three days later, Wen Liu, the steward of Bai Fenglin, left the city.

Jiang Lige couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. This Bai Fenglin is truly worse than a pig or a dog."

Ning Yunxiao's attitude was very calm, and he pointed to a river bend on the map.

"In three days, I will lead my men to set up an ambush here. If Bai Fenglin dares to use the power of bandits, he will be caught red-handed."

Jiang Lige quickly gave a thumbs up, "Your Highness has thought it through, Lige admires you."

Perhaps because they have been together for a long time, Ning Yunxiao is no longer surprised by Jiang Lige's "serious" praise.

Therefore, the two of them smiled at each other tacitly, everything was ready, and they were just waiting for the show to begin.

Although the time can be tentatively set at three days later, in order to ensure that everything goes smoothly, Ning Yunxiao and Jiang Lige are completely on high alert towards Bai Fenglin, and they even want to keep one eye open when sleeping.

Unexpectedly, on the day of closing the net, Bai Fenglin's side suddenly became quiet, and the entire Bai Mansion became silent as well.

Jiang Lige was filled with doubts. He asked Feng Quan listlessly, "Could it be that Bai Fenglin, considering their father-son relationship, is going to let Feng Yu go?"

"I don't know." Feng Quan shook her head, "But I feel that Bai Fenglin doesn't seem like someone who would cherish old friendships."

Jiang Lige agreed with this. While he was thinking hard, he saw Song Yue running into the room in a panic, panting and saying:

"Princess! Feng Yu is missing!"

"what?!"

"Feng Yu went to bed early yesterday and didn't notice anything wrong. But this morning, he was nowhere to be found. The house was tidy and there were no signs of a fight or intrusion."

"How could Feng Yu disappear for no reason?" Jiang Lige sneered and slowly uttered a name, "Bai Fenglin, I underestimated him."

"Princess, what should I do?"

Song Yue was extremely anxious. In fact, Jiang Lige was not as calm as she appeared.

After all, Feng Yu got involved with the Bai family because of his own plan. If anything happened to him...

Thinking of this, Jiang Lige felt even more complicated. He tried hard to calm himself down, "What about the prince?"

Feng Quan replied, "I received news that the prince led his men to the ambush location early in the morning."

"Feng Yu's sudden disappearance means the plan has changed. It's unlikely the Crown Prince and his men will benefit much from continuing their ambush," Jiang Lige said, heading straight into the house to change into lighter clothes. "Let's go, leave the palace," he said briefly.

The token given by the empress dowager a few days ago was still usable, so the master and his two servants left the palace smoothly.

Jiang Lige only started to divide the work after the carriage entered the downtown area.

"Songyue is quick on his feet. Go set up an ambush and inform the prince that there has been a change of plan. Tell him to meet us at the inn. Fengquan, come with me to the inn where Feng Yu is staying to see if there are any clues."

"No!" Jiang Lige had just finished speaking when Feng Quan objected, "It's too dangerous for the princess to go to the inn alone. Songyue has some martial arts skills and can protect the princess if she gets into danger. Let the prince know and let me go!"

Jiang Lige couldn't persuade Feng Quan, so he had to agree. "I'll send a carriage to take you. The inn is inside the city. Songyue and I can walk there."

"it is good."

Just like that, after everything was arranged, the three of them took action on their own.

The inn was not far from where Jiang Lige got off the carriage. After about half an incense stick of time, the master and servant quietly entered the inn through the back door.

The room where Feng Yu lived was indeed as described in the news. It was clean and there was nothing unusual. There were no signs of prying on the doors and windows.

"Princess, could it be that Feng Yu is deserting the battlefield?"

"He will not."

Songyue was really confused and wandered around the room like a headless fly. Just when he was trying to find a clue, he saw a letter under the pillow in the room, with only a thin corner sticking out.

"Princess! There's a clue!"

Jiang Lige turned around when he heard the voice and saw Song Yue running over excitedly and grabbing a corner of the letter.

"Don't touch it!"

When Jiang Lige saw the letter, he subconsciously spoke out to stop him, but unfortunately Song Yue had already pulled the letter out.

A pill-sized bead hung on the innermost corner of the letter. When it encountered light, it quickly turned into thick smoke, filling the entire room. Even though Jiang Lige had been prepared, he couldn't avoid the smoke that hit him at the speed of light, and slowly fell down...

She lay powerlessly on the wooden planks of the inn, looking powerlessly at the figure that flashed by on the beam, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth.

"It was really a step too far..."

After saying this, Jiang Lige felt that everything he saw was dyed black, and he soon lost consciousness...

Jiang Lige woke up again in a dark little house. There were hard stone slabs under him and beams above him that had been eaten away by insects and ants, showing a lot of bad marks.

Most of the dusty lampshade was burned, leaving only a faint wick that occasionally emitted a little light.

"Princess Zhaohua, why are you here?"

Perhaps someone noticed Jiang Lige's slight movement, and spoke in the darkness.

With a familiar accent, Jiang Lige immediately called out the man's name.

"Feng Yu, why didn't you act according to the plan and leave your post?"

Jiang Lige was so angry that Feng Yu trembled slightly and even his voice became a little softer.

"I don't know. It was the maidservant beside you who told me to leave. I thought you were looking for me for something serious, so I sneaked out. But I was knocked unconscious right after leaving the inn. When I woke up, I was here."

"The maid beside me?"

"Yes, that's the one who rode in the same carriage with you in Jingzhou last time, the one wearing white clothes."

Jiang Lige thought about it carefully and roughly guessed who the palace maid Feng Yu was referring to, and couldn't help but laugh sarcastically.

"It's so frustrating to fall into Jiang Chuchu's hands again."

"If we don't think of a solution, we'll just die here!" Although Feng Yu didn't know the reason, he knew that the situation was not optimistic, so he interrupted at the right time.

"How long have you been here?"

Feng Yu sighed, "I came here yesterday."

"You're so worried, I guess you already know how they're going to deal with us?"

"You told me to tell you!" Feng Yu hesitated for a long time before stammering, "The person who was originally imprisoned here was said to have engaged in private transactions and will be taken out and burned soon."

Jiang Lige immediately came to his senses, "So, they switched us and killed us with the help of ignorant villagers."
