Chapter 392 She finds the kidnappers and is in danger.
Mu Zhaozhao slumped into a chair, holding the letter. Qin'er stepped forward and asked, "Madam, what's wrong?"
In an instant, Mu Zhaozhao calmed down. "Quick, prepare the silver notes! We need one million taels of silver notes!"
"Madam, the manor doesn't have that much cash on hand right now." Qin'er hadn't seen the letter and didn't know what Mu Zhaozhao needed so many banknotes for.
The Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion is very wealthy, possessing a million taels of silver, including shops, land, and collectibles.
There is definitely not one million taels of silver in cash alone.
"If you don't have it, then go and find it! Borrow it! Pawn everything you can at home, sell everything you can, quick!" Mu Zhaozhao's face was very grim.
"Yes, Madam." Qin'er hurriedly left.
Mu Zhaozhao ordered, "Someone, prepare the carriage. I'm going to the Crown Prince's residence."
Prince's Mansion.
Song Siyao was playing chess with Hongshao, while Yuxiang was peeling pine nuts beside her.
Just then, the butler entered and announced, "Your Highness, Madam Song has arrived."
"Sister-in-law is here?" Song Siyao was delighted to hear this. "Please come in quickly."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Zhaozhao entered.
"Sister-in-law." Seeing Mu Zhaozhao's strange expression, Song Siyao's smile faded. "What happened?"
"Yaoyao, save Ze'er!" Mu Zhaozhao cried.
"What's wrong with Ze'er?" Song Siyao's heart jumped instantly. "Sit down first, and tell me slowly."
Mu Zhaozhao handed the letter to Song Siyao, who took it, unfolded it, and read: Your son is in my hands. Place one million taels of silver at Black Eagle Cliff outside the city within twelve hours, or else, I will kill him!
"Yaoyao, I don't have that much silver right now. Can you help me?" Mu Zhaozhao looked at Song Siyao, her eyes red, but she pretended to be calm.
"Fish Fragrance, prepare the silver. Red Peony, call Cang Yue here," Song Siyao said.
"Yes, Your Highness." Yu Xiang and Hong Shao left.
A short while later, Cang Yue arrived and bowed to Song Siyao and Mu Zhaozhao.
"Cang Yue, gather everyone and find out who took Song Nianze away and where he was taken," Song Siyao ordered.
"Yes, Your Highness." Cang Yue accepted the order and left.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I've already given the orders. Go back to the manor and wait. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news. Also, let me know if you have any news from your side." Song Siyao comforted Mu Zhaozhao.
"Alright, Yaoyao, you've worked hard." Mu Zhaozhao returned to the Zhenbei Marquis's residence.
"Your Highness, the young master is your nephew. Who is so audacious as to kidnap him?" Hongshao asked in confusion.
"Kidnapping is for two reasons: money and revenge. According to the letter written by the kidnappers, it was for money, but the kidnappers had their own rules when it came to money: they only sought out merchants and did not provoke officials."
Everyone in the capital knows that Ze'er is my most prized possession. Anyone who dares to touch him is either an enemy of the Crown Prince's or the Marquis of Zhenbei's household, or a bandit from out of town who randomly kidnapped someone on the street. The fact that they were able to deliver the letter to the Marquis of Zhenbei's household so accurately means they know Ze'er's identity. Knowing full well what they did, they weren't after money, but after revenge.
Song Siyao's expression gradually turned cold.
"For revenge?" Hong Shao's expression turned grave. "Crown Princess, wouldn't the young master be in great danger?"
“No, at least Ze’er won’t be in danger until they achieve their goal,” Song Siyao said.
Less than half an hour.
Cang Yue returned and said, "Your Highness, I've found out where the young master went. I've already sent people to follow him."
"Prepare the horses, let's go!" Song Siyao gave the order, and they set off immediately.
An hour later.
Daping bend.
When Song Siyao arrived, the people Cang Yue had sent earlier were already there.
They all gathered there, and upon seeing Song Siyao, they immediately came to greet her.
"What happened?" Cang Yue asked.
"Captain, we found a letter here. After reading its contents, we dare not approach rashly."
Cang Yue took the letter and handed it to Song Siyao. Song Siyao unfolded it and looked at the letter.
Song Siyao, congratulations on finding this place. Unfortunately, Song Nianze is not here.
To save Song Nianze, you discard all your weapons and head to Tiger Roar Mountain alone.
Don't try any tricks. You're in the open, I'm in the shadows. If I see you bringing people here, you can just wait to collect Song Nianze's corpse!
After reading the letter, Song Siyao grabbed it and crushed it into pieces.
"Where did you get the letter?" Song Siyao asked.
"In the tree."
"Cang Yue, you all stay here. I'll go to Tiger Roar Mountain alone," Song Siyao said.
"Your Highness, it's dangerous!" Cang Yue said with a worried expression. "Please allow me to go with you. I will remain hidden and not show myself."
"No, I can't let Ze'er be in danger. It's obvious that today's scheme is aimed at me." Song Siyao's expression was firm.
"Yes, Your Highness." Time was of the essence, so Cang Yue could only agree for now and think of a solution later.
Song Siyao rode forward on his horse.
It takes an hour to get from Dapingwan to Huxiaoshan, even at a fast pace.
Song Siyao was six months pregnant, so she slowed down because she was worried about Song Nianze.
If the speed is too fast, the baby in the womb can't take it.
Moreover, she had already ridden for so long before, and now she was riding for such a long time again, which was extremely exhausting for her.
Moreover, she is now unarmed.
The other party is deliberately trying to kill her.
An hour later, Song Siyao arrived at Tiger Roaring Mountain.
Tiger Roar Mountain is named for its shape, which resembles the roar of a tiger.
There is only one road forward.
There are cliffs on both sides.
On the other side is a bottomless abyss.
Song Nianze was tied to a tree trunk on the edge of the cliff.
When the wind blows, the tree trunk sways and teeters on the brink of collapse.
Song Siyao's heart almost jumped out of her chest, it was so painful, this was the treasure she had protected since she was a child.
"Your Highness, you've arrived quite quickly," the man in black standing next to Song Nianze said sarcastically.
It seems that this person is the mastermind behind this kidnapping.
The man held a knife to Song Nianze's neck.
All around were masked men, carrying gleaming longswords, exuding a murderous aura.
"Your aim is to target me. Now that I'm here, let him go!" Song Siyao approached step by step.
"Stop!" the man in black shouted. "If you take another step forward, I'll kill him!"
With a forceful pull, a bloody mark immediately appeared on Song Nianze's neck.
However, Song Nianze didn't even frown.
His mouth was stuffed with a cloth, so he couldn't speak.
His youthful face was full of composure, and his clear eyes showed no trace of panic.
Seeing him like this made Song Siyao feel even more sorry for him.
Song Siyao stamped his foot, no longer daring to step forward rashly.
Since the other party dared to scheme against her like this, they must have been prepared to die.
If she angers the other party and they attack without restraint, injuring Song Nianze, she will regret it for the rest of her life.
The man in black removed the gag from Song Nianze's mouth and then said to Song Siyao, "Crown Princess, you must immediately sever your meridians and destroy your martial arts skills, or I will kill him right now!"
He then lowered his head and threatened Song Nianze, "Call your aunt to save your life. If you don't obey, I'll cut your flesh off piece by piece!"
