C12 The Confused White Rabbit the Cynical Wolf(part Ii)

"What? You said my cousin locked Jiegeng and Ruyan Liu in the barracks cell and still need five thousand taels of silver to redeem them?" Shihan heard Yue's report and jumped up from her chair in shock.

Not long later, the news of Ruyan Liu and a woman being locked in the barracks cell due to trespassing into the barracks had spread all over the city.

"Didn't I ask you to bring Jiegeng to find my cousin? How could this be?" Shihan immediately started to blame Yue.

" Princess, Miss Jiegeng said that she wants to stroll around the capital, so this servant does not need to follow her. It is this servant's negligence! Please punish me, group leader." Yue immediately apologized.

" Forget it. Quickly tell me in detail what is going on! "Shihan did not care about whether she should punish or not.

After listening to the cause and effect, Shihan had a look of disappointment on her face. "Do you think this Jiegeng is too naive to follow Lau Yunyan that woman like that?" The blood rushed up and Shihan anxiously drank a mouthful of tea.

"That Lau Yunyan really needs to be taught a lesson! How dare she touch my people! She usually relied on her older sister to bully others, but now she actually stepped on me. Also, my cousin is also the same. No matter what, Jiegeng is also his saviour. She really is ungrateful."

"Princess, please calm down." Yue advised from the side.

"Yue, quickly go to my private vault and get five thousand taels of silver. Where would Jiegeng find someone in the capital to redeem her? If she did not go now... She will have to suffer there. " Fortunately, there were a lot of rewards given to her, and the profits of her shop were not small either. It wouldn't be a problem for her to take out five thousand taels of silver.

"Yes, Miss."

Jiegeng and Ruyan Liu were locked in two different cells.

Jiegeng sat alone on a pile of dry grass with her arms crossed. She looked up at the only window that shone through.

Five thousand taels! How was she going to pay it back? Even though she ran into Ms Shihan not long after she left the house and did not spend much money, her banknotes and those gold and silver notes were only worth one thousand taels of silver.

Furthermore, when would she be able to see the Royal Highness?

Since that jade pendant was the symbol of his Royal Highness, then was the jade pendant that she found in her grandfather's chest related to the Royal Family? Was her grandfather's disappearance related to the royal family?

A bunch of questions immediately rushed into Jiegeng's head, but she could not answer any of them. It only made her head hurt. In order to calm her mood, Jiegeng began to silently recite the contents of the "Bai's Medical Scripture." Only by coming into contact with things related to medicine could she calm her mood.

After an unknown amount of time, the door of Jiegeng's cell opened.

The sudden strong light made Jiegeng unable to open her eyes. After she finally got used to it, she discovered that the person who came was actually Anzhao.

"Why are you here? Is there any other punishment?" Jiegeng looked up at Anzhao blankly, still maintaining the posture of hugging her legs and sitting.

"You can leave now." Anzhao said to Jiegeng. "Also, His Royal Highness wants to see you now." After saying this, he saw that Jiegeng had not gotten up and could not help but urge her. "Quickly, could it be that he wants His Royal Highness to wait for you?"

"Oh, okay!" Jiegeng immediately got up. Although she did not know what had happened, seeing Duan Shuang and telling her about her grandfather's matter immediately perked Jiegeng up.

When Anzhao brought Jiegeng to the entrance of the mansion, Jiegeng was stunned once again at the door.

The shocking words "Zhen'an King's Mansion" once again stimulated Jiegeng's nerves.

Duan Shuang was actually that famous Zhen'an King?

Even if Jiegeng didn't know the current situation, she would still know the name of this Zhen'an King. City L was located at the border. The reason why they were able to keep themselves safe during these few years and not be disturbed by the chaos of war was all because of this Zhen'an King!

Originally, Jiegeng had always thought that Zhen'an King was so brave and good at fighting, and that he led a good army. He must be a robust middle-aged man. But she had never thought that he was actually such a handsome man.

Under Anzhao's repeated urging, Jiegeng finally regained her senses and followed him into the Imperial Residence.

"Your Highness, he has arrived." Anzhao brought Jiegeng to the pavilion and reported to a scholar like person inside.

Duan Shuang put down the book in his hand and looked up at Jiegeng.

"My humble daughter greets Your Highness." Jiegeng immediately knelt down. She did not want to break any rules and throw herself into the prison again.

"Get up." Duan Shuang looked at the trembling girl in front of him.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." Jiegeng immediately stood up and lifted her head to meet Duan Shuang's deep eyes.

"Tell me, why are you looking for me?" Duan Shuang smiled and immediately reminded Jiegeng of the time when he was injured and not the dignified face in the military camp.

Jiegeng immediately told her about Bai Qing's disappearance in detail. "Thus, I hope that Your Highness can help me find Grandfather's whereabouts." After Jiegeng finished speaking, she once again knelt down on both knees and raised the jade pendant that Duan Shuang left for her to the front of her head.

Actually, he had already known about Bai Qing's disappearance from Ouyang Lingfeng a long time ago. Hence, the matter of Jiegeng finding him previously was also within his expectations.

"Since I promised you that I would help you, I will definitely help you. So, you don't need to beg me like this." Duan Shuang paused, implying that he wanted her to get up.

But Jiegeng did not understand at all and continued to kneel there.

"His Royal Highness wants you to get up." Anzhao could not bear to watch and could not help but say something.

"Really?" Jiegeng was overjoyed and immediately jumped up.

"Anzhao, immediately send An You and a group of people to City L to investigate this matter and make him pay special attention to whether those people are related to this matter." Duan Shuang immediately gave the order in front of Jiegeng, which eased Jiegeng's heart.

"As for this jade pendant, you can keep it for now." Duan Shuang glanced at the jade pendant in Jiegeng's hand indifferently. "When I have news of your grandfather, it is not too late for you to return it to me."

"Okay!" Jiegeng immediately felt relieved about whether he could do his best to find her grandfather.

"But the punishment in the military camp must be counted." Seeing Jiegeng's happy look, Duan Shuang slightly smiled and showed a playful look.

Sure enough, Jiegeng's expression collapsed as Duan Shuang expected.
