The princess only wants to survive, and the cold-faced king of hell begs for mercy

The trees in this forest are so close together that horses can barely squeeze in, but a large carriage absolutely cannot pass through.

The carriage was rushing towards a thick tree at a very fast speed, as if it was about to hit it in the next second. The situation was extremely critical!

Yun Shang was also frightened, but she tried to remain calm, hugged Qinghuan tightly beside her, and used all her strength to stabilize herself and Qinghuan's bodies.

The two of them squatted in the car together, closed their eyes, and prayed silently that they could escape this disaster safely.

However, at this critical moment, suddenly, several men in black rushed out from the dense mulberry forest.

Two of the agile men in black quickly entangled the carriage 8091, while the other two jumped onto the carriage without hesitation, grabbed the reins of the frightened horses and pulled hard.

The horse's hoof, which was originally raised high, remained in the air for a moment before it slowly fell down and was gradually tamed.

Then, the two men in black skillfully drove the carriage along a narrow path, galloping straight towards the west without looking back.

At the same time, in the bustling Xiangyun Restaurant, Zhao Qiyan had been waiting here for a long time, but Mr. Jiu still did not show up.

His expression grew increasingly gloomy, like the sky before a storm. Finally, unable to contain his temper, Zhao Qiyan turned to look at Qi Chuan beside him and asked in a cold tone, "Qi Chuan, what time is it now? Why hasn't Mr. Jiu shown up yet?"

Just as Qi Chuan was about to report the relevant matters to Zhao Qi Yan, suddenly, there was a rapid and crisp knock on the closed door of the private room.

Along with the knock on the door, a young man dressed as a servant quietly appeared at the door of the private room.

The servant respectfully took out a letter from his pocket and carefully handed it to Zhao Qiyan, saying softly, "Sir, this letter was sent to you by a man named Mr. Jiu, who asked me to deliver it to you."

Zhao Qiyan took the letter with a serious expression, slowly unfolded the letter and began to read.

As his eyes quickly swept across the letter, his expression became increasingly gloomy and ugly.

Seeing this, Qi Chuan, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in his heart, and hurried forward to check the contents of the letter together.

After reading the message in the letter, Qi Chuan was also shocked. He couldn't help but frown and asked, "Your Highness, who is so bold as to kidnap the princess? And even seriously injured Mr. Jiu and his group!"

Zhao Qiyan put down the letter and pondered for a moment before answering, "According to the letter, these people's actions were very clear-cut, and they acted ruthlessly and decisively. They not only killed 12 masters of the Xingchen Pavilion, but also seriously injured another 6. I'm afraid even Mr. Jiu himself might not have escaped. This shows that these people are the same as us, sworn enemies of the Xingchen Pavilion."

Changing the subject, Zhao Qiyan continued his analysis, "In my opinion, this incident is very likely related to Xuanji Tower."

Hearing this, Qi Chuan's face showed a trace of confusion. He asked, "But Your Highness, as far as I know, Xuanji Tower has always maintained a neutral stance. How could it be so openly standing against Xingchen Pavilion in this incident?"

Zhao Qiyan slowly shook his head, frowning slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Since Mr. Jiu failed to come as promised, let's return to the mansion first."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Qi Chuan beside him, his eyes firm and steady, and continued, "The most urgent thing is to confirm as quickly as possible whether the princess is safe."

Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan nodded solemnly in agreement.

Afterwards, Zhao Qiyan rode back to the palace at full speed.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, he went straight to the study.

Just as I walked to the door of the study and had not yet pushed it open, I saw the door suddenly opened from the inside, and a familiar figure came into view. It was Liang Wenxin.

Since Yun Shang became pregnant, Liang Wenxin has been staying in the Prince Qi's mansion to take care of her.

However, ever since Yun Shang was kidnapped, although he never left, he rarely stepped out of the yard where he lived.

At this moment, seeing Zhao Qiyan returning, Liang Wenxin showed a faint smile on his face.

Zhao Qiyan looked up at Liang Wenxin, his eyes filled with doubt and inquiry, and asked, "Doctor Liang, I wonder what brings you here? The princess hasn't returned yet, so I don't think we need your help for the time being."

After saying that, he walked into the study and closed the door.

Liang Wenxin smiled slightly and did not directly answer Zhao Qiyan's question.

He slowly reached into his arms and carefully took out an exquisite jade pendant.

This jade pendant is emerald green all over and crystal clear. It is carved with exquisite patterns and is wrapped with a necklace with an intricate knot, making it look particularly unique.

Liang Wenxin gently placed the jade pendant on the desk in front of Zhao Qiyan, then stepped back a few steps before speaking softly, "Your Highness, don't worry. The princess is currently doing well and is in no serious condition. Furthermore, even the baby in her womb is safe and sound."

When he said this, his tone was unusually calm, as if he was stating a very ordinary matter.

Zhao Qiyan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I was mistaken. I didn't know that you, Doctor Liang, were from Xuanji Tower?"

Liang Wenxin nodded, "Yes, I am from Xuanji Tower, and what happened today was also done by Xuanji Tower."

"The purpose is to prevent you from negotiating."

Zhao Qiyan asked calmly, "Why?"

Liang Wenxin found a seat and sat down, then said leisurely, "Mr. Jiu's condition is that you release the people in the prison, but our requirement is that these people cannot be released."

"Ever since the Tongshan Iron Mine was taken back, things have become increasingly difficult for Xingchen Pavilion and King Cheng. Now that the prince is in power, they've been pushed to the point of desperation."

"So, we just need to add more fuel to the fire and make them jump over that wall completely."

After the Xuanji Tower people took Yun Shang away, Zhao Qiyan felt a little relieved. He nodded and said, "Since our goals are the same, I really can't imagine what you are planning by taking the princess away."

Liang Wenxin remained calm. He smiled and said, "What the prince is going to do next is very dangerous. If the princess stays in Prince Qi's mansion, she will become your weak spot."

"So, we took it upon ourselves to take the princess to a safe place so she can take good care of her pregnancy."

"After we win, it won't be too late to bring the princess back."
