The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1010 - 848, Treasure Location

Watching the black-clothed figure carrying someone over the wall, Xiao Yechen indifferently withdrew his gaze, then said to Gao Yuan without any expression, "Find a place and bury those two maid girls."

Gao Yuan bowed his head, carrying off the two maid girls with two men, silently.

Listening to the unceasing noise coming from the front courtyard, the corners of Xiao Yechen’s mouth curled up in a strange, cold smile.

Gao Fang’s eyes held panic, but he still forced himself to calm down, "Master, we should hurry back. The Crown Princess’s Hidden Guards were personally selected by the Crown Prince. The third Prince’s men won’t be able to stall for long, we can’t afford to run into him."

Xiao Yechen glanced at Gao Fang, "Look how scared you are. Does Xiao Yeyang really dare to kill me?"

Gao Fang inwardly gave a wry smile. The Crown Prince might not kill the master, but he and Gao Yuan could end up dead.

Xiao Yechen looked once more towards the front courtyard, "Xiao Yeyang... enjoy yourself, I hope you can continue to be happy tomorrow." After saying this, he returned to the Chen Courtyard under Gao Fang’s worried gaze.

Meanwhile, in the front courtyard, under the third Prince’s intentional provocation, the Crown Prince and the other Princely Heirs from other Prince Residences were still urging Xiao Yeyang to drink.

In the Pingxi Hall, Wang Manman, along with Guyu and Lixia, was busy handling various matters after the banquet ended, with Mei Lan and Mei Ju assisting.

Two quarters of an hour later, Mei Lan’s brow furrowed when she saw Daohua hadn’t come back. She immediately sent a young maid to check.

The young maid went all the way to the front gate, learned that the Crown Princess had already sent the Yan Family people back, and hurried back to Pingxi Hall to tell Mei Lan.

Upon hearing this, Mei Lan realized something was wrong, and quickly informed Wang Manman, "After the Crown Princess finished accompanying Madam Li back, she has not yet returned."

Wang Manman’s face changed, and she asked hurriedly, "Which maid girls were following the lady today?"

Because she and Guyu, Lixia, and a few other Senior Maids were busy helping the lady oversee the banquet, none had been by her side.

Mei Lan’s brow was knotted, "I asked around, and those two maid girls who went with the Crown Princess to send off the guests were also missing."

Without asking further, Wang Manman said quickly, "Take some people and search everywhere in the residence. Remember, don’t let others know we are looking for the lady. I’m going to the front courtyard to find the Crown Prince now."

...

At the city gate, an inconspicuous carriage passed smoothly through the city gates with the departing traffic. Once outside the city, the carriage sped off towards the outskirts and finally stopped in front of a quadrangle courtyard.

"Has the master given instructions on how to deal with this person?"

"The master said, take her to the brothel in the south, and tell the madam to take good care of her. As long as she isn’t killed, everything else is up to their discretion."

"The journey south is not short. If there’s a slip-up along the way, and Xiao Yeyang finds a trace, none of us will survive. Why don’t we, once and for all, just kill her?"

"Do you think I don’t want to do that? But the master has commanded us not to kill anyone."

"..."

Daohua woke up to intermittent voices. Observing the dim, damp room and the ropes binding her hands and feet, she immediately understood her situation.

Taking out a dagger from her space, Daohua quickly cut through the ropes, rubbed her stiff legs, stood up, and peeked through the crack in the door to check outside.

At that moment, under the moonlight, several strong men dressed in black were eating in the courtyard.

Daohua furrowed her brow and assessed the men. Noting their clothing and swords, she realized they were all meticulously trained Hidden Guards or assassins.

She had been too careless. She thought she was safe inside the Prince Residence, never expecting someone to dare to kidnap her there.

Daohua’s first thought was of the Jiang Family. In Beijing, when it came down to it, the Jiang Family was the only one she had offended.

Just then, another group of men entered the courtyard.

These men were filthy, dressed like the ones from the Escort Bureau, and they were pulling several carriages behind them with large chests loaded on top.

"Have you actually dug up this much this time?"

The Hidden Guard who had kidnapped Daohua clearly knew these men.

"Good luck, we’ve breached a tomb chamber that has not collapsed at all."

"The gold, silver, and jewels from this haul should please the Third Prince."

"Shut up!"

The Hidden Guard captain emerged from the room with a serious expression and interrupted the speaker, "How many times have I told you not to mention the master’s name while outside?"

He then looked at the men who had tied up Daohua.

"Alright, you’ve had your fill, to avoid any complications through the night, it’s better to find a way to transport the captive south."

Inside the room, upon hearing this conversation, Daohua had not even had time to be shocked that her kidnapper was the Third Prince when she swiftly surveyed the room.

Observing many empty boxes, she thought quickly and hid inside one of them.

Just as Daohua had hidden in the box, the door to the room was opened.

"Boss, it’s not looking good, the captive has escaped!"

The first person to enter, dressed in black, yelled out, immediately drawing everyone in the courtyard into the room.

The Hidden Guard captain, looking at the cut ropes on the floor, furrowed his brow tight, glanced at the boxes in the room, and squinted, "We have been in the courtyard the whole time and did not see the person escape, so she must still be in the room, search thoroughly."

With this command, everyone immediately began to open the boxes one by one to check.

However, even after all the boxes were opened, no one was found.

The Hidden Guard captain personally checked the rooftop and everywhere else, but to no avail.

"Damn it, could she have just vanished into thin air?"

"Boss, what do we do now?"

"Leave a few men to continue the search in the courtyard, the rest follow me to search outside. We all know of Xiao Yeyang’s methods—if you want to live, we must capture her and bring her back."

In her hidden space, Daohua ate some fruit and lay on the ground, recalling the words she had just heard.

It was actually the Third Prince who had her kidnapped!

Xiao Yeyang and she had never offended the Third Prince nor had any conflicts of interest with him, why would he kidnap her?

Daohua thought about what Xiao Yeyang had told her about the Third Prince potentially siding with the Empress Dowager and the Jiang Family, and a look of realization slowly spread across her face.

The Empress Dowager and the Jiang Family had blamed Xiao Yeyang for the death of the Princely Heir Jiang, and now to make Xiao Yeyang’s life difficult, they had begun to instigate the Prince to make a move against her!

All this was happening in the Prince Residence, such audacity and boldness; she could not help but admire the Emperor for having tolerated the Jiang Family for so long.

Daohua quietly counted the time, figuring the Third Prince’s men would have left the room by then. She exited her space and appeared in the exact box she had hidden in before.

Upon leaving the space, Daohua’s forehead struck the box.

Daohua carefully pushed the box lid open a crack and discovered that she, along with the box, was on a rapidly moving carriage, shaking violently.

There were several carriages, and each was loaded with several boxes.

Seeing the escort guards riding alongside the carriages, Daohua suddenly remembered the tomb chamber and the gold, silver, and jewels they mentioned in the courtyard and immediately thought of the treasure Xiao Yeyang was searching for.

Fragrant Pills were quietly thrown from the crack in the box, landing on the ground unnoticed.

The carriage sped on for several hours, and as the sky brightened, an abandoned Imperial Mausoleum appeared in Daohua’s line of sight.

"You’ve finally arrived; we opened another tomb chamber last night, hurry and carry these boxes downstairs to transport the goods."

As the burly men came to move the boxes, Daohua once again blinked back into her space.

Meanwhile, with Dog Xiaoyi’s tracking, Xiao Yeyang had already led the Hidden Guard out of the city gate, and at the same time, under the guidance of Dog Xiao’er, De Fu had also found two maids who were hidden away in the abandoned courtyards of the Prince Residence.
