What a pity, Nanzhao Suya looked at Cang Mo with disgust and said impatiently, "Hurry up and take her away. If you don’t leave now, it will be too late."

She really couldn’t understand why these men were all entranced by Su Yan. What was so good about her?

Cang Mo smiled wickedly, glancing sideways at her as he said:

"Can the Princess handle everything here herself?"

"You don’t need to worry, just make sure you take her away. And remember, the promise you made to me, you must fulfill it."

That was to kill Su Yan, no matter what.

Cang Mo lowered his gaze slightly and chuckled softly, saying, "Of course."

With that, he lifted the bed board, revealing the tunnel underneath, and jumped down holding Su Yan.

Meanwhile, Nanzhao Suya tidied up the bed, opened the window, and shouted in terror: 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Someone’s here! There’s an assassin! The Empress has been abducted by an assassin, someone’s here..."

Walking in the pitch-black tunnel, Cang Mo retrieved a fist-sized Luminous Pearl to illuminate the rather cramped underground passage.

The scent of freshly turned earth was still present, and the humidity was somewhat heavy.

Su Yan understood, this must be a newly dug tunnel. Cang Mo was certainly relentless in his efforts to capture her.

After walking for about an hour, he finally reached the end, lifted the floorboard at the tunnel’s exit, and jumped out holding Su Yan.

This was no longer the Imperial Palace, but an unknown house.

Having released Su Yan’s dumb acupoint, Su Yan immediately asked, "How long did it take to dig this tunnel?"

"A month." Cang Mo squinted and smiled.

Su Yan rolled her eyes, it was indeed a laborious task, to have dug for so long.

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Palace, after hearing Nanzhao Suya’s cries, the guards rushed in.

Seeing the Empress missing, with two palace maids fainted on the ground and the window open, they intended to rush outside when just then, Wang Cai and the Imperial Physician entered together.

Having learned of the Empress’s abduction.

Wang Cai narrowed his eyes, carefully scrutinizing the room, while Nanzhao Suya nervously clenched her fists under her sleeves, pretending to be somewhat weak as she said:

"Eunuch Wang, why are you still standing here? Hurry and send people to find the Empress!"
