In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

"I'm fine, but what happened to Xu Miao?" Shen Wenjun was extremely anxious and actually called out Princess Changle's name.

Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin looked at each other. She didn't know whether she should tell Shen Wenjun now.

Xie Chengjin could see the confusion in Su Zhizhi's heart, and he couldn't help but sigh and said, "I can tell you the cause and effect of the matter, but you need to stay calm, otherwise I won't say anything."

Shen Wenjun nodded hurriedly, not daring to hesitate for a moment.

Seeing this, Xie Chengjin finally spoke, "That day, Princess Changle went with me to the Seventh Prince's Mansion. She attracted the Seventh Prince's attention in front of him, so I was able to rescue you from there. However, I hadn't been away with you for long when the Seventh Prince's men discovered us. Princess Changle didn't have time to escape, so she was intercepted by the Seventh Prince's men and brought back to the Seventh Prince's Mansion. However, so many days have passed, and my people haven't found any trace of Princess Changle in the Seventh Prince's Mansion. They have also searched almost the entire capital."

"What did you say?!" Shen Wenjun almost fainted after hearing this. Fortunately, Xie Chengjin was quick to grab Shen Wenjun and prevented her from falling to the ground.

"Shen Wenjun, calm down!" Su Zhizhi shouted anxiously in Shen Wenjun's ear.

Fortunately, Shen Wenjun's willpower was still strong, so she didn't faint again.

"She should still be in the Seventh Prince's mansion!" Although Shen Wenjun's face was very ugly now, he still said this very confidently.

Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin didn't understand why Shen Wenjun said that. He seemed to see through their confusion and explained, "The Seventh Prince's Mansion doesn't look very large from the outside, but the Seventh Prince has dug countless cellars in his mansion for concealment and to build dungeons. These cellars are interconnected, extending in all directions, forming a connected underground mansion beneath the Prince's Mansion. If someone who doesn't know the reason enters the Prince's Mansion, it would be difficult to find the entrance to the cellars."

"Then what should we do now?" After listening to Shen Wenjun's explanation, Su Zhizhi felt that the matter was extremely tricky. If the Seventh Prince's mansion was really as Shen Wenjun said, then their operation to rescue Xu Miao would only be more difficult.

The three of them fell into silence, and finally Shen Wenjun spoke up, "I'll go!"

Su Zhizhi was the first to object, "No, your body hasn't fully recovered yet. If you are caught by the Seventh Prince's men, the consequences will be disastrous."

"There is no better way than me. It has been such a long time since Xu Miao was captured. If we hesitate any longer, Xu Miao will suffer more. It is better for me to go. I have been in the Seventh Prince's Mansion for some time and know more about its structure than you do. It is the best choice for me to go. What's more, I know my body well and I can still hold on for the time being. Don't worry." Shen Wenjun has made all the necessary preparations.

Su Zhizhi wanted to say something more, but Xie Chengjin grabbed her arm and said, "Zhizhi, he should know the seriousness of the matter. It's better to let him go. If you are really worried, we can meet them outside the Seventh Prince's Mansion."

Hearing this, no matter how reluctant Su Zhizhi was, she had no choice but to agree. She looked at Shen Wenjun with a conflicted look in her eyes, but because it had been a long time, she still didn't say anything, leaving only four words to Shen Wenjun: "Be careful."

Shen Wenjun could naturally see Su Zhizhi's worry, but Shen Wenjun had his own considerations in mind, so this time, he had to go alone no matter what.

Fortunately, after the Seventh Prince became the Regent, he stayed in the palace most of the time every day. On the contrary, the guards in the Seventh Prince's Mansion, that is, the Regent's Mansion, were a little slack, which gave Shen Wenjun an opportunity to take advantage of the loophole.

He sneaked into the mansion alone, avoiding the patrolling guards, and found the cellar entrance that he was most familiar with and had the least guarded area.

Then Shen Wenjun began to walk carefully in the cellar. Perhaps God was blessing him, and he didn't have to search for long before he saw Xu Miao's figure in a cellar in the corner. When he pushed the door open and went in, Shen Wenjun realized that Xu Miao had lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for a few days.

Xu Miao was originally a thin beauty, and now that she has lost even more weight, she is almost skin and bones, which makes people feel scared at the sight of her.

Hearing the door open, Xu Miao forced himself to look up, but his body shrank unconsciously, looking extremely pitiful.

But when he saw that it was Shen Wenjun who came, Xu Miao immediately smiled. Although the smile was a little forced, Shen Wenjun noticed that Xu Miao's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

"Shen Wenjun, are you here to save me?" Xu Miao stretched out his hand towards Shen Wenjun with a smile, and then before Shen Wenjun could say anything, Xu Miao suddenly fell into coma.

Shen Wenjun reacted suddenly, stepped forward quickly and caught Xu Miao's body, which prevented Xu Miao from falling to the ground.

Feeling the light person in his arms, Shen Wenjun didn't know what he was thinking, but he only knew that he was almost heartbroken.

Looking at Xu Miao's condition, it was clear that he had hardly eaten anything in the past few days. There was only one bowl of water in the entire room, and the water in it had kept Xu Miao going until now.

Looking at the unconscious Xu Miao in his arms, Shen Wenjun realized that his feelings for Xu Miao seemed to be wrong. When he heard that Xu Miao was missing, he couldn't control his emotions and couldn't help but worry about Xu Miao...

Looking around, Shen Wenjun knew that now was not the time to worry about this, as he didn't have much time left.

He carefully picked up Xu Miao and started to return along the same route. The paths in the cellar were complicated. Fortunately, Shen Wenjun had a good memory and left the cellar without any problems.

There were still no guards outside the cellar. Shen Wenjun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. Without alerting anyone, she took Xu Miao over the courtyard wall and came to Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi.

Seeing Shen Wenjun bringing Xu Miao back safely, Su Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief. However, when her eyes met Xu Miao, her brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again.

Back in the carriage, Su Zhizhi looked at Xu Miao, who was held in Shen Wenjun's arms, and asked worriedly, "What happened? Could it be that the Seventh Prince was so cruel as to attack her?"

Shen Wenjun paused, then shook her head. "She must have fainted from hunger. She probably hadn't eaten in the past few days, and only relied on some water to survive. It wouldn't kill her, but it would be even more torturous."
