Chapter 28
The third prince put the book in his hand aside, picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Chi Yao.

Chi Yao bent slightly to take the cup of tea, and took a sip.

Seeing her drink, the third prince laughed and called for someone to take her down.

Chi Yao, who was taken down, tidied up her wet sleeves quietly so that no one would notice anything wrong.

The road leading her went further and further away, and the passers-by all looked at her numbly.

Finally they stopped at a dilapidated tent, which was full of people, all old, weak, sick and disabled, doing coolies there.

"Princess, please feel wronged here, after all, we are short of supplies."

The person leading the way in front turned around and said maliciously.

Chi Yao took a deep breath, without saying anything, walked in calmly, and gently shook the chain in her hand.

"Snapped!"

The sound of breaking resounded throughout the mansion, smashed objects were scattered everywhere, and a group of guards were kneeling on top of the debris.

And the person on the main seat was playing with the teacup in his hand uncertainly, looking down at these people with indifferent eyes.

"Has anyone been found?"

The people below trembled, and no one dared to answer. Even though it was already difficult to kneel down on the ground, no one dared to stand up and respond.

Nineteen murmured his lips, trying to stabilize his trembling voice, resisting the fear in his heart and said: "Go back to the Lord, not yet."

Before Nineteen could finish speaking, the teacup in Rong Li's hand flew out and hit her on the head.

"Crack", the teacup must have been broken, and the blood on her forehead flowed down her temples.

At this moment, a person walked in, who was actually the person who was waiting in the mansion that day.

"My lord, don't worry, there's news from Miss Chi."

The man's name was Yun Nan, who was close to Rong Li's mother, who had been secretly supporting him and taking care of his affairs in Rong Country.

While soothing Rong Li's emotions, Yu Nan winked to let the kneeling people out.

"An old man who sold carved dolls said that when he was about to close the stall and go home, he saw Miss Chi being beaten unconscious by a man and taken away."

"How can he be sure it's Yaoyao?"

Rong Li's eyes were red, and the veins in his hands were bulging due to his uneasiness. He resisted the last bit of reason and asked.

"He said that Miss Chi asked him to carve a doll, and he couldn't forget her appearance."

"Keep looking for me! Use that thing too!"

"Can…"

Rong Li's scarlet eyes looked at him calmly, but they were filled with a penetrating chill, which made people shudder.

"Yes!"

Yu Nan reacted quickly, and then stepped back, leaving Rong Li alone in this messy room.

Rong Li supported his forehead with his hands, and couldn't help but let out a chuckle, that kind of laughter was full of despair and uneasiness, as if something was broken, and he could only hear his helpless voice calling Yaoyao over and over again.

I pinned this last sliver of desire in this repeated prayer, only hoping to wait for the redemption of the light again.

And Chi Yao changed into a simple set of clothes again. After all, living in this place, clothes that are too out of gregarious sometimes cause unnecessary troubles.

She looked at the old, weak, sick and disabled who were implicated by the war in front of her, and frowned.

A little boy passed by her carrying a wooden bucket. The huge wooden bucket made it difficult for him to control his strength. He accidentally fell to the ground, and the water in the bucket spilled on the floor.

Before Chi Yao could help him up, a middle-aged man on the other side saw him and waved a short whip at him.
