Chapter 307 – Failed Escape Turn Into Kidnapping

But of course, Feng Qian Shao was not in the mood to press his son for an answer. The most important thing was for them to find that foolish princes.

"Speak, where\'s the princess?"

"We don\'t know!"

"Her Highness is supposed to be meeting us in that inn with Doudou, but she hadn\'t appeared yet."

"Yes, we\'re still waiting when we\'re dragged here."

"I have stationed some soldiers in that room," General Feng clarified when he saw the gazes of the others. Naturally, he still considered the option that the princess was slow and would only go to the designated inn after some time.

"Is this Doudou?" Long Qian Xing pointed to the fainted woman on the ground.

The two maidservants\' eyes widened. "Yes, that\'s her!"

"Her highness should have been with her."

"I see."

From the way it looked like, someone was using Princess Yue\'s escape plan in order to kidnap her. Right now, everyone present naturally knew that.

Feng Ao Kuai was not in the mood to care about this. His eyes landed on Nan Luo as his eyebrows creased. When Nan Hua gave him an order to find the suspicious maidservants, he thought that Nan Hua would not make a move by herself and stayed close to Nan Luo.

Why is Nan Luo here?

"Luo, where\'s Hua\'er?"

Sensing the dangerous tone, Nan Luo felt his body shivered unconsciously. He turned his head and looked at Feng Ao Kuai. "I don\'t know! Hua\'er disappear when everyone is trying to get away from the fire. I have been searching for her since the route to this alley is close to where she disappeared not long ago."

Close to here?

Feng Ao Kuai looked at the ground for any marks whatsoever. From what he knew regarding Nan Hua, she would not put herself in any danger if possible. However, the chance for Nan Hua to be able to survive from the poison was a bit low because this area was big.

Where could she be?

Feng Ao Kuai was anxious.

Seeing the brats, Long Qian Xing was in dilemma. He wanted to search for Nan Hua more than searching for the princess, but his duties stated that he should have participated in searching for the princess because he was supposed to be protecting her.

"You can search for your fiancée." Feng Qian Shao patted Long Qian Xing\'s shoulder. "In truth, you\'re just participating in order to gain your experience, so leave the search to us."

Long Qian Xing was startled. He looked at Feng Qian Shao and noticing his sincere gaze, he nodded his head strongly. Since it was the case, he should hurry and find his fiancée so that he could participate in helping them.

"Thank you, General Feng."

"Go."

"You know that it\'s not supposed to be like that, right?" General Chi looked at General Feng with displeasure.

Feng Qian Shao arched his eyebrows. "If you have time to quarrel, you better figure out how to find Princess Yue as fast as possible. The longer it is, the harder it would be to stop the rumors from spreading."

Right, rumors.

General Chi immediately asked his men to search the area around here, find any witness, mark, or whatever.

Behind him, Chi Song Lian pursed his lips. He looked a bit displeased but he said nothing and followed his father\'s footsteps. He was just a young commander and naturally couldn\'t disobey his father, who\'s already a general, and General Feng.

The maidservants all felt that their princess was really so foolish. To think that their carefully planned escape route would end up backfiring them like this.

General Feng looked at the maidservants. "Gather all twelve maidservants. We\'re going to interrogate them one by one."

"Are you suspecting them?" General Chi turned around.

"Not even us know that the princess is trying to escape in Wind City, so how could the enemies find out about it? If it\'s not from her maidservants here, it can only be from those who are still in the Capital City."

But they couldn\'t possibly head over to the Capital City to check on this matter. Thus, they could only turn on the available evidence that was presented before them.

"Alright, you\'re in charge of interrogating them. I\'ll try to ask the people there if there\'s anyone who might have seen the direction where they go."

This area was connected to many places in Wind City. The possibility was too much and General Chi didn\'t have enough men to search for all corner in Wind City.

Not to mention, what if they had gone out of Wind City?

That would complicate things.

General Feng nodded and then went back to find his soldiers to arrange some matters, leaving Feng Ao Kuai and Nan Luo there, still checking for any traces.

Their father (uncle) might not know, but the two of them knew Nan Hua very well. If something happened to her, there was no way she wouldn\'t try to think for a method to leave markings.

"Did she pass by here?" Long Qian Xing asked the two boys.

"I don\'t know." Feng Ao Kuai was honest. He left as soon as he received Nan Hua\'s order, so he no longer paid much attention to where she would be. What he worried about was that there wouldn\'t be any traces.

What if she fainted before she could react?

"Did Hua\'er bring any items around?" Feng Ao Kuai turned to look at Nan Luo.

Nan Luo\'s face blanked. How could he possibly know what Nan Hua bring? She did have her small pouch with her, but he didn\'t know what Nan Hua put inside.

"What\'s the color of her dress?" Long Qian Xing gave up asking that question. It would be inappropriate for them to find out about it too.

"Light blue. Today she wore light blue color."

"Alright."

It was an eye catching color, so it shouldn\'t be that hard to find some eyewitness who saw her, right?

Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai knew what Long Qian Xing planned to do but they were currently trying hard not to say:

Young Commander Long, no matter how eye catching it is, if she purposely went away, we might never be able to find her.
