Sheng Nanzhi turned her head and looked at the two guards and the maid kneeling on the ground. She knew the maid and trusted her.

If she said she didn't hear anything, she was probably not lying.

"I've already arranged for someone to carefully inspect the carriage. There's no trap inside. We still don't know how your aunt disappeared from the carriage."

"I also sent people to follow the carriage's route back and inquire one by one."

Li Yueru couldn't help but mutter to herself, "She's a concubine in the Sheng Mansion. She never leaves the house. How could she have offended anyone? Maybe she ran away on her own."

Sheng Lin frowned and glared at Li Yueru, who immediately fell silent.

"Don't worry, just as your mother said, she's just a concubine. She rarely goes out and has no chance of offending anyone. It'll be quick to investigate, so we should be able to find her soon."

Sheng Nanzhi took a deep breath and said, "Although the person disappeared in the carriage, it is not necessarily the case that Concubine Liu disappeared in the carriage."

Li Yueru rolled her eyes secretly. Didn’t she feel that what she said was contradictory?

Sheng Lin's expression turned serious: "What do you mean?"

Sheng Nanzhi pursed her lips and said, "Madam Liu doesn't know martial arts, and the carriage is so small. If someone wanted to kidnap her from the carriage, it would be difficult. Even if someone used drugs to knock Madam Liu unconscious, it would be impossible to take someone who doesn't know martial arts away from the carriage quietly without anyone noticing."

"I think it's very likely that Aunt Liu was knocked unconscious and taken away while she was in the shop."

"Then, the other party arranged for someone with great martial arts skills to disguise themselves as the concubine and board the carriage."

"While the carriage was moving, he took advantage of the people around him not paying attention, took off his clothes on the carriage, removed his disguise, and got out of the carriage."

"There are only three people following my aunt. If they pass by a crowded street, we may not be able to keep an eye on them."

Sheng Lin frowned and looked at Sheng Nanzhi with surprise: "What you said does make some sense."

"I'll interrogate the people around her and ask them when she left their sight, how long she was gone, and where she was."

Sheng Nanzhi's eyes were dark and gloomy: "But if that's the case, then the other party has obviously made full preparations and came prepared."

"As a concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I cannot afford to offend someone with such ability."

"I'm afraid his purpose is not my aunt."

"It's either Daddy or me."

Sheng Lin's expression became more serious. He thought about the whole thing from beginning to end and had to admit that Sheng Nanzhi's guess was very likely to be the truth.

His eyes swept from Nanny Jin and the people following Sheng Nanzhi, and then fell on Sheng Nanzhi again: "Come with me to the study, I have something to tell you."

After Sheng Lin finished speaking, he looked at Nanny Jin and said, "Nanny, should I go to the study alone with Princess Yi to discuss something?"

"Don't worry, Ma'am. Although she's married, the Prime Minister's Mansion is still her home. I will never let her get hurt at home."

Nanny Jin said with a forced smile: "Prime Minister, you are too kind. If you want to speak to the princess, you don't need to ask for my opinion. Although I am valued by the imperial concubine, I am only a servant after all."

When Li Yueru heard her say this, she couldn't help but glare at her.

She also knew that she was just a slave.

This was not the attitude I had when I spoke to her before.

Dirty thing.

When her Yun Rou becomes favored, she will never let go easily, let alone such an old servant, even if it is her master.

Sheng Nanzhi did not miss the look Li Yueru gave Nanny Jin. She lowered her head and raised the corners of her mouth.

Great, Li Yueru really knows how to attract hatred for her daughter.

Her attitude towards Nanny Jin meant that Sheng Yunrou's life in the palace would not be easy.

Sheng Nanzhi lowered her head and followed Sheng Lin into the study.

Sheng Lin finally spoke: "What do you think about your aunt's disappearance?"

"My daughter felt that the man was most likely targeting her."

Sheng Nanzhi raised her hand and placed it on her belly: "To be precise, it's targeting the child in my daughter's belly."

"The news of my pregnancy had just spread, and the next day, my aunt disappeared. This is too coincidental."

Sheng Lin nodded, his eyes becoming darker. "Well, go on."

Sheng Nanzhi continued, "Shi Huaizhi's accident was clearly due to the dispute over the throne. Shi Huaizhi was unconscious, and apart from a breath still remaining, he was no different from a dead person. However, I suddenly became pregnant. Although the child in my belly has not yet been born, it is still a hidden danger to them."

"So, they don't want the baby in my belly to be born safely."

"Furthermore, after Concubine Hua and His Majesty learned of my pregnancy, they placed great importance on my unborn child. They showered me with various rewards and assigned a number of people to my side, including nurses, doctors, cooks, and guards. This virtually eliminated any possibility of anyone harming me in Prince Yi's mansion."

"They can only attack Concubine Liu, kidnap Concubine Liu, and use Concubine Liu to threaten me."

Sheng Lin was increasingly surprised. "Who told you this? Was it Aunt Jin?"

"Madame Jin? Why would Father ask that? I just analyzed all this myself."

Did you analyze it yourself?

For the first time, Sheng Lin looked at his daughter seriously. He had previously disliked her greatly because of the prophecy that she was a calamity star that would bring disaster to the world.

Even after he brought her back from the farm a few months ago, he had seen her only a few times, let alone talked to her.

The first time he looked at her straight in the eye was because of the incident she had with Shi Huaizhi.

At that time... he had originally wanted to force her into Shi Huaizhi's arms as a concubine, but she had proposed... to become a nun to prove her innocence? This way, Sheng Yunrou wouldn't be affected and could continue to marry Shi Huaizhi.

It was precisely because of this suggestion that he looked at him twice more.

But I just took a few more glances.

However, she never expected that many things would happen later, and by chance, she actually married Shi Huaizhi and became his legal wife.

But at that time, Huaizhi had already become a living dead and was completely defeated in the battle for the throne.

As his wife, she was naturally like a discarded piece, abandoned in the corner of the chessboard.

But at this moment, Sheng Nanzhi was discovered to be pregnant with Shi Huaizhi's child.

I have to say that Sheng Nanzhi still has some luck.

But the call from Sheng Nanzhi just now, combined with what happened before, made Sheng Lin start to think that it might not just be luck.

Sheng Nanzhi might still have some brains.
