A red apricot is about to cheat on you

"I know, you old woman, you talk too much!" The man frowned, his eyes full of impatience, and the corners of his mouth turned down slightly, revealing a look of disgust.

Although he was annoyed by the old woman's nagging, the annoyance was forcibly suppressed when he thought of the huge wealth that was about to come to him.

He knew very well that he couldn't act impulsively. Yi Duoer was his cash cow. If he touched her now, he would lose a lot if he couldn't sell her for a good price.

Humph, once he sells her, he can find any woman he wants. Why rush into this?

Yi Duoer was half asleep and only felt a noisy sound buzzing in her ears, as if someone was talking, but she was very dizzy at this time.

She tried hard to open her eyes, her consciousness struggling in chaos, but her limbs seemed to have been drained of strength, soft and unable to move at all.

Chu Jingchen had already returned to the mansion, but Yi Duoer was nowhere to be seen. His eyes burned with anxiety and anger, and his slender fingers were clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white.

Unable to find Yi Duoer, he was like a beast that had lost its mind, and uncontrollably threw several teacups on the table to the ground.

The sound of the teacup breaking was particularly harsh in the silent front hall, with porcelain pieces flying everywhere.

A cold aura emanated from him, like a biting winter wind. The servants shivered, lowered their heads, and dared not even breathe. They had never seen the prince so angry.

At this moment, Han Bai walked into the front hall tremblingly. His footsteps were light, but one could still hear the nervousness in them. He bowed and said:

"Master, I found this at a corner of a wall on South Street." As he said this, he carefully handed the flower on Yi Duoer's head to Chu Jingchen.

Chu Jingchen's eyes fell on the flower and he recognized it at a glance. It was Yi Duoer's favorite jewelry.

His heart suddenly tightened, as if being grabbed by an invisible big hand. An ominous premonition lingered in his heart, and his face instantly turned as pale as paper.

Because of the previous injury and the intense emotional fluctuations at this moment, Chu Jingchen felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth and splashed on the ground.

The bright red color was shocking. Han Bo was horrified and quickly stepped forward to support him, his eyes full of worry and distress.

Chu Junheng also stepped forward worriedly, looking at Chu Jingchen with concern. Just as he was about to speak, Chu Jingchen just said lightly:

"Duo'er has been kidnapped and her life or death is still unknown!" Although his voice was calm, one could hear the suppressed pain and fear in it.

Chu Junheng involuntarily took two steps back. He frowned and thought for a moment before saying that if it was a kidnapping, the kidnappers would probably ask someone to send a letter asking for a ransom or something like that. It would be impossible for them to just disappear without a trace.

His words hit Chu Jingchen's heart like a heavy hammer. This was exactly what he was most worried about.

If it wasn't a simple kidnapping, Yi Duo'er would be in great danger now. Chu Jingchen was extremely anxious and rushed out to find Yi Duo'er regardless of his own injuries.

Everyone hurriedly stopped him and anxiously advised him that if the prince went out to look for her now, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. The capital was so big that he had no idea where to start.

Chu Jingchen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. His chest was heaving violently.

Then, he said in a deep voice, "Old Five, have people post Duo'er's portrait. Anyone who knows about it will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver. Post it everywhere inside and outside the city! Have your soldiers increase their efforts and search throughout the capital!"

Chu Junheng looked at Chu Jingchen's determined eyes, nodded calmly, and then ran out quickly.

Chu Jingchen said to Han Bai again: "Mobilize the troops in the capital, and don't let go of any clues!" Han Bai bowed and took the order and left.

For a moment, the entire capital was in an uproar. In the middle of the night, the army rushed out like a tide, searching every house.

The clatter of horses' hooves and shouts mingled, shattering the tranquility of the capital. This search had not only reached the imperial palace, but had also plunged the entire capital into panic and curiosity.

However, An Tingfeng was also in dire straits. His true identity had been discovered by An Zhengzhong's spies.
