The man in black was shocked when he heard what Mu Yexiao said, and blurted out: "How do you know I'm the young master's man?"
After he finished speaking, the man in black realized what he had said and was about to leave when Mu Yexiao rushed up and started fighting with him.
On the other side, Qian Jiujiu and Xiaoman were knocked unconscious by Gu Xiangning and taken away. When the two woke up again, they were already on the boat.
Qian Jiujiu opened her eyes and glanced at Xiaoman who was lying next to her. For the first time, she was thankful that Xiaoman was still around and had not taken the two children out.
As long as Xiaoman is fine, then her child is safe. Thinking of Gu Xiangning's behavior, Qian Jiujiu's face darkened and she shook Xiaoman beside her.
"Xiao Man wake up."
Xiaoman was shaken by Qian Jiujiu for a few times, and slowly opened her eyes. Then she rubbed her eyes, still a little dazed: "Sister, where are we?"
Qian Jiujiu shook his head: "I don't know, let's go out and take a look."
Xiaoman hummed, climbed up from the bed, and opened the door, but found that what she saw was a vast ocean, and her eyes widened immediately.
"Sister, the sea, we are on the sea now."
Someone here heard Xiaoman's voice and came over immediately: "Miss, you are awake. The young master asked you to go see him when you wake up."
Qian Jiujiu and Xiaoman looked at each other and looked at the maid: "Is the young lady you are talking about me?"
The servant listened to Xiaoman's question and nodded: "Yes, you are our young master's apprentice, so you are also our master."
When Qian Jiujiu heard this, she immediately patted Xiaoman on the shoulder and said, "Emma Xiaoman, I'm going to rely on you to take care of me during this period. What do you think your master wants to do?"
In fact, while talking, Qian Jiujiu had already understood a little bit. This force was the mysterious force that Mu Yexiao had been pursuing in Kyoto, but it was hidden too well.
So this force took action even though they haven't found anything yet. However, judging from the current situation, these people should have no ill intentions towards her.
And maybe she has some relationship with her mother, but I don't know what kind of relationship it is? Listening to Xiaoman's words, Qian Jiujiu did not say these speculations.
"Who knows? You should ask him. Aren't we going to see him now?"
Then he looked at the maid in front and said, "You lead the way."
"Yes, Miss Qian."
Qian Jiujiu was stunned when she heard this title. Since she came to the Great Zhou, no one has ever called her like this, and she was used to people calling her Princess Xiao.
With a sigh, he and Xiaoman followed the maid from upstairs to downstairs. After observing for a while, they found that the boat was actually quite large.
There are two floors above and below, and at this time Gu Xiangning is in the hall on the first floor of the ship, drinking tea and looking at the scenery outside. He looks so leisurely that Qian Jiujiu and Xiaoman want to bite their teeth.
Qian Jiujiu came directly to Gu Xiangning and said, "Gu Xiangning, you are a kidnapper, but you live a very carefree life."
Gu Xiangning coughed twice and said, "Qian Jiujiu, you can't say that. I'm inviting you. Look at you now. Your husband is going to choose a concubine. Don't you think so?"
"I'm going to offer you a place to go. I have no ill will towards you, so you can rest assured. I'm going to take you to a very beautiful place, the most beautiful place in the world."
"That's a place that many people dream of, but can't go to. I guess you haven't even heard of the existence of that place."
Qian Jiujiu raised her eyes and looked at Gu Xiangning: "You sound so magical, it can't be your home."
Gu Xiangning was embarrassed for a moment: "It really is my home, but what I said is true. My home is on an island, Mingyue Island. Do you know it? It's very beautiful."
Qian Jiujiu rolled his eyes and said, "I don't know. I only know that you took me away like this. Aren't you afraid that my prince will hunt you down all over the world?"
Gu Xiangning smiled nonchalantly: "If he has the ability to find me, just let him come. I will stand there and let him hit me."
When saying this, Gu Xiangning did not notice that a masked man behind him had a flash of light in his eyes and soon disappeared.
Xiaoman listened to the conversation between the two people. To be honest, she was a little worried about what was going on in Da Zhou. Most importantly, she was worried about her father.
Although Daddy has just married a new mother, his love for her has never changed. Now that I have disappeared innocently, I don’t know how worried Daddy and Mother Hongyue will be.
Thinking of this, Xiaoman looked at Gu Xiangning with eyes full of infinite resentment. Of course, Gu Xiangning quickly received Xiaoman's gaze and touched his nose.
"Xiao Man, don't worry. Your master is doing things properly. I have already told your father in advance that I will take you out to travel, so your father won't worry about you."
Looking at Gu Xiangning, Xiaoman blinked: "So, Master, did you plan to kidnap my sister long ago?"
Gu Xiangning's mouth twitched: "Stop talking about kidnapping, it's embarrassing. I'm inviting your sister to go and relax, it's better than staying in Kyoto."
"But seriously, that Mu Yexiao is also a character. For your sister, he quit his job as the crown prince and left the court."
"Then he came to look for you, but he couldn't find you, so just give up. Although it wasn't his intention to make you the prince's concubine, he still made you suffer."
"So it's okay to punish him a little. Don't give him any news for now. I'll take you away. After a while, I will definitely send you back to reunite with him."
"Of course, if he doesn't come to see you during this period, or if he gets involved with another woman, it's not my fault. It's because he can't wait for you."
Seeing Gu Xiangning's guilty look, Qian Jiujiu was speechless and snorted, "I don't want to talk to you, a kidnapper."
After saying this, Qian Jiujiu looked at the boundless sea, and suddenly she felt relieved. Perhaps this situation was not bad. As for Mu Yexiao, she believed him.
Mu Yexiao will definitely find her. Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu immediately felt relieved. However, she didn't know that because of her disappearance, Kyoto was now in chaos.
The disappearance of Princess Xiao was a big deal, but the most important thing was that Mu Yexiao, who had followed in pursuit, also disappeared. Of course, more people said that Mu Yexiao, in a rage, took Qian Jiujiu and went into seclusion in the mountains.
After all, everyone knows the abilities of Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao, so they don’t believe that anyone can do anything bad to them. Of course, the most unhappy person here is the emperor.
In fact, the emperor's idea was to let Mu Yexiao become the crown prince first, and then slowly hand over all the court affairs to him, and then wait until Mu Yexiao was familiar with everything.
The emperor would become the emperor emeritus, and then take Concubine Qing and the queen to see his beautiful country. Now, Mu Yexiao has run away, who can he go to
Who else could protect his beautiful country? The Queen and Concubine Qing in the palace were also upset when they heard the news. Their son was missing, and their daughter-in-law was also missing.
The most important thing is that they haven't seen their grandson for many days. What should they do now? Of course, they have to look for him, so the whole Zhou Dynasty started a search for him.
Finding someone is the first priority, and the other one is to find the culprit who made this incident happen. Concubine Qing is the most angry, and of course she is angry at the Queen Mother.
The old Queen Mother actually issued an imperial decree to force her daughter-in-law and son away. This was simply unforgivable. Thinking of this, Concubine Qing was furious.
There was no time to care about anything else. When Concubine Qing heard the news, she went to the Empress Dowager's palace. Seeing Concubine Qing's angry expression, the Queen immediately followed her with a worried look on her face.
At this time, the emperor also dismissed the morning court and went to the Empress Dowager's palace with the imperial edict. In this way, several people arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace at the same time.
The Queen Mother was currently looking at the portraits of the ladies from noble families that were presented to her by the people below. She nodded from time to time when she saw the portraits that satisfied her. There was also a woman beside the Queen Mother.
The woman looked to be about sixteen years old. Concubine Qing knew this woman. She was the legitimate daughter of the Ren family and was about to get married. Her name was Ren Xianger.
The moment she saw Ren Xiang'er, Concubine Qing knew what the old Queen Mother was planning. She just wanted to make her the next Crown Princess.
Is the Queen even from the Ren family? Regardless of whether she is worthy or not, seeing Concubine Qing coming, Ren Xianger naturally knew the Queen Mother's plan, and she also told the Queen about this plan.
The Queen was satisfied and agreed, but she didn't expect the Queen Mother to take direct action. Obviously, the Queen Mother didn't realize what she had done at this time.
The emperor will not allow any external relative to have a chance to become powerful. If Ren Xianger really becomes the next empress, then it will be time for the Ren family to be confiscated.
But Ren Xiang'er was deeply in love with Mu Yexiao and could not see these things clearly, and the queen mother was also old and only thought about glory.
Thinking about what the Queen Mother said, Ren Xiang'er bowed to the Emperor and Empress, "Xiang'er greets the Emperor, the Empress, and the Imperial Concubine."
When the emperor heard the name Xiang'er, he frowned subconsciously, but Concubine Qing slapped Ren Xiang'er on the face without any hesitation: "Where did this little bitch come from?"
The Queen Mother saw that this was not a slap on Xiang'er, but a slap on her face. She slapped the table and looked at Concubine Qing: "Concubine Qing, what do you mean by this?"
"If you have any complaints, just come to me. You dared to hit someone in front of me. Who gave you the courage?"
Concubine Qing looked at the Queen Mother with hatred: "Yes, I am not as powerful as you, the Queen Mother."
