However, as they were leaving the city, Luo Caidie handed a letter to a guard at the City Gate, stating that it was from Lo An Lord and needed to be delivered promptly to Prince Luo's Residence.
In the Silver Moon Kingdom, everyone knew Lo An Lord, and even more so that he was the biological father of the Empress. Therefore, upon receiving the letter, the guard dared not delay and immediately took it to Prince Luo's Residence, handing it over to the gatekeeper at the entrance.
Upon hearing that it was a letter from Lo An Lord, the gatekeeper also did not hesitate and quickly delivered it to Luo Wenhan's courtyard. However, when he arrived, Luo Wenhan had not yet woken up, and the Imperial Physician had just finished his rounds and left.
Thus, he handed the letter to Luo Wenhan's Personal Maid and instructed her to deliver it to Luo Wenhan as soon as he awoke.
In the evening, Luo Wenhan finally woke up, and as soon as he did, his Personal Maid immediately presented him with the letter.
Luo Wenhan took the letter and noticed there was no signature on the outside. He couldn't help but feel puzzled, wondering to himself, "Who wrote this letter?"
Suddenly, he noticed that the seal on the envelope had not been closed.
Raising an eyebrow slightly, he pulled out the sheet of paper inside. Out of curiosity, he opened it and was instantly taken aback.
So shocked was he that his hand trembled involuntarily, causing the letter to fall to the ground. The maid quickly picked it up and handed it back to Luo Wenhan.
After receiving the letter, Luo Wenhan immediately instructed the maid to help him change clothes. Upon hearing that he intended to leave the residence, she hurriedly tried to stop him, saying that his health had not yet fully recovered and it was unwise for him to go out.
But Luo Wenhan insisted that lives were at stake and he needed to go to the palace immediately to find the Empress.
Hearing his determination, the maid ceased her objections. Soon after, Luo Wenhan made his way to the palace in search of Luo Bingbing.
When the gatekeeper learned that he was the brother of the Empress, he promptly let him through. Upon arriving outside Dragon Blossom Palace's main hall, Shadowless called him in.
Before he could even ask where Luo Bingbing was, Shadowless immediately said, "Isn't Nursemaid with the Imperial Physician attending to you? Why hasn't she returned yet?"
Luo Wenhan quickly replied, "I came specifically about this matter. May I ask where the Empress is?"
"The Empress is not in the palace. If you have something to discuss with me, I will relay it to her."
Upon hearing this, Luo Wenhan promptly informed Shadowless about the contents of the letter and the news of Nursemaid's kidnapping. Shadowless grew anxious upon hearing this and urged Luo Wenhan to return home and rest properly before leaving the palace.
Luo Wenhan knew he couldn't be of any help, so he could only return to Prince Luo's Residence to wait for news.
Meanwhile, Shadowless immediately went to the Shadowless organization's base in Silver City, instructing his subordinates to search the entire city for information about the kidnapped Nursemaid.
After that, he quickly left the Shadowless inner cabinet and went to the headquarters of the Beggar Clan to ask Luo Yi for assistance in finding Nursemaid.
Upon hearing his request, Luo Yi became very anxious and immediately ordered his subordinates to search for any trace of Nursemaid in Silver City.
However, despite both the Shadowless and Beggar Clan members turning Silver City upside down, they could not find Nursemaid.
In the end, Shadowless went to Prince Luo's Residence to ask Luo Wenhan how he received the letter. They eventually discovered that a young woman had handed the letter to a guard at the city gate and instructed him to deliver it to Prince Luo's Residence.
After handing over the letter, the young woman immediately got into a carriage, which then left the city.
With this information, both the Shadowless and Beggar Clan quickly expanded their search area, following the official roads and forest paths around Silver City in hopes of finding Nursemaid.
While everyone was searching everywhere, Nursemaid and her captors had already arrived at the foot of a mountain far from Silver City, and they were preparing to get out of the carriage.
Just as they were about to lift Nursemaid out of the carriage, she suddenly woke up. Seeing her captors, she instinctively struggled.
However, they had already bound her hands and feet with hemp ropes, so Nursemaid couldn't break free at all.
The coachman saw this but remained silent; he knew this was not a good situation, so he planned to leave quickly after collecting his payment.
Just as he was about to leave, Luo Caidie took out a letter and five taels of silver, asking him to deliver the letter to Prince Luo's Residence once he returned to Silver City.
With money involved, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
So he immediately accepted Luo Caidie's silver and letter before leaving for Silver City.
Due to the lack of a specific location, they couldn't find Nursemaid right away. However, Beggar Clan had already found wheel tracks at the foot of that mountain.
After one of Beggar Clan's disciples reported this to Luo Yi, both Luo Yi and Shadowless found the carriage very suspicious and decided to head up the mountain to investigate.
Just as they were about to leave the city, the coachman happened to return and was chatting with a fellow townsman at the City Gate.
"Old Yu, you look so happy. You must have made quite a bit today, right?"
The coachman smiled and replied to his fellow townsman, "Haha, I really did make a lot today. I took three women to Qiyue Mountain this morning, and they gave me ten taels of silver. When they left, they asked me to deliver a letter to Prince Luo's Residence and gave me another five taels of silver. I'm just on my way to deliver the letter now!"
"With that much money, you have to treat me to a drink later!"
"Of course, no problem."
As the saying goes, what is said casually may be heard with intent. Their conversation was overheard by Shadowless and Luo Yi, who were about to leave the city in search of Nursemaid. They exchanged glances and immediately turned their horses around, blocking the carriage.
The two quickly jumped off the Back of the Horse and approached the coachman, directly asking, "Is what you just said true?"
Startled by the sudden interruption, the coachman was taken aback. Before he could recover from his shock, he saw Shadowless and Luo Yi standing in front of him.
Hearing their question, the coachman replied nervously, "Y-yes... it's true, absolutely true."
"Good. Hand over the letter they gave you."
The coachman hurriedly responded, "But that letter is supposed to be delivered to Prince Luo's Residence..."
"Enough with the nonsense. My master is the Empress." With that, Shadowless revealed Luo Bingbing's palace entry badge.
Seeing this, the coachman was once again startled, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He quickly handed over the letter to Shadowless.
After receiving the letter, Shadowless opened it immediately. Just by looking at the handwriting, she knew that these two letters were from the same person.
Seeing that it mentioned they had taken Nursemaid to the cliff at Qiyue Mountain and demanded Luo Bingbing go alone to rescue her, signed by Luo Caidie, Shadowless and Luo Yi finally realized who was behind it all.
Knowing where they were headed, they rushed off to Qiyue Mountain to save her.
However, they were unaware that Nursemaid had already left Qiyue Mountain and was now at Haixi Peak behind Qiyue Mountain.
Of course, it wasn't Luo Caidie and the others who wanted to go to Haixi Peak; they were forced to do so.
There was no choice. After the coachman left, they dragged Nursemaid up towards Qiyue Mountain, but they hadn't gone far when they arrived at a fork in the road.
The fork connected their path up the mountain with a small trail leading to another mountain.
Coincidentally, at that moment, the "Three Beggars" were approaching the fork, and these Three Beggars were not real beggars but rather Lan Zhiguang and his family, who were deliberately disguised as beggars to evade capture.
At that time, Lan Zhiguang and his family looked indistinguishable from beggars, so Luo Caidie and her companions did not recognize them.
However, after enduring years of imprisonment, Lan Zhiguang had long memorized the faces of Lo An Lord's family, and they had been thinking about how, once they escaped, they would not only destroy the Silver Moon Kingdom but also eliminate everyone from the Luo family.
Thus, upon seeing Luo Caidie and her companions for the first time, they immediately recognized them as members of the Luo family.
They quickly ran over to Luo Caidie and her friends, stealthily drawing their weapons and pressing them against the vital points of all three.
Due to the suddenness of the attack and their lack of preparation, Lan Zhiguang and his family swiftly gained the upper hand.
Afterward, they took Luo Caidie and her companions up to the mountain ahead—Haixi Peak.
Haixi Peak was much larger than Qiyue Mountain. They found a naturally formed cave halfway up the mountain and settled there.
Only the three of them remained; naturally, Lan Zhiguang's family was unwilling to stop there. At the very least, they wanted to eliminate Silver Moon Kingdom's Empress, Luo Bingbing, before feeling satisfied.
Therefore, they decided to use Nursemaid and her companions as bait to lure Luo Bingbing and Lo An Lord into coming to rescue them.
As night fell, they planned to wait until dawn before heading to a nearby town to send word to Luo Bingbing at the palace of the Silver Moon Kingdom.
That night, Shadowless and Luo Yi arrived at Qiyue Mountain. They then instructed the Beggar Clan and members of the Dark Gate to search for Nursemaid and her companions on the mountain.
Coincidentally, on that day, Luo Bingbing was preparing to attack Southern Continent City. Meanwhile, Eastern Spirit and Ouyang Chen had also arrived at Southern Continent City, having reached there first.
Thus, when members of the Tiger Legion were ordered to attack Southern Continent City, Ouyang Chen, following Eastern Spirit's strategy, placed her on top of the city wall in Southern Continent City.
Seeing Eastern Spirit being held on the city tower, the members of Tiger Legion dared not launch an attack recklessly.
At that moment, their leader recalled what Luo Bingbing had said to him before about needing to find her urgently, and he began to call for her in his heart.
Thus, he kept calling out for Luo Bingbing. As soon as he did, Luo Bingbing became aware of it.
Immediately, Luo Bingbing teleported right in front of him.
Upon seeing Luo Bingbing, he informed her that the princess of Silver Moon Kingdom, Eastern Spirit, was currently being held on the city tower by them.
As soon as Luo Bingbing appeared, both Eastern Spirit and Ouyang Chen on the tower couldn't help but brighten up, thinking to themselves, "This is promising."
Ouyang Chen then moved closer to Eastern Spirit's neck and shouted loudly, "People of Silver Moon Kingdom, listen up! If you do not withdraw your troops immediately, I will kill your princess."
After slightly furrowing her brows, Luo Bingbing waved her hand to signal the Tiger Legion members to retreat first.
Then, she quickly used her Ability to secretly communicate with An Ruo Ran, instructing her to find out what was going on and to inform her as soon as she had clarity.
Next, she used her Ability again to contact Hua Ying, telling them not to bring the Wild Wolf Pack to attack the city for now but to circle around in the mountains and wait for her instructions.
At that moment, as the Tiger Legion members retreated to the edge of a forest, Luo Bingbing felt it was about time and ordered them to stop and rest in place.
After observing the Tiger Legion members, she realized that waiting for news from An Ruo Ran could take a while. Fearing unexpected changes, she decided to use her Ability to invade Eastern Spirit's mind directly for answers.
However, the distance was too great; she wasn't sure if her Ability could penetrate Eastern Spirit's mind.
After a brief contemplation, she decided to give it a try and attempted to invade Eastern Spirit's mind using her Ability. To avoid failure, she maximized her Ability.
Since she had never tried this before, she didn't know that her Ability could successfully invade someone's mind from a greater distance.
This time, she successfully invaded Eastern Spirit's mind.
However, the content within surprised her greatly. It was easy to imagine how furious she felt when she discovered that the idea of using Eastern Spirit's life as leverage against Silver Moon Kingdom was conceived by Eastern Spirit herself.
However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she could not attack the city, as that would tarnish the reputation of the Silver Moon Kingdom and her own.
So, she simply let the Tiger Legion guard the edge of the forest and did not retreat. Instead, she immediately returned to the city they had just captured.
Upon arriving there, she found that Dongfang Hao and his army had not yet arrived. In recent days, their speed had been quite fast, and their pace in besieging cities had also accelerated significantly.
As a result, Dongfang Hao's army was lagging behind, but they would send a small team to take over the city each time, and that team consisted of officers from the main army.
Thus, she planned to wait for Dongfang Hao and his men there.
However, she had only sat there for a short while when An Ruo Ran called out to her in her heart. Following that, she quickly went to An Ruo Ran.
Upon arriving there, An Ruo Ran informed her that while she was communicating with her telepathically, she was checking news from various places but had not yet seen anything regarding Eastern Spirit.
Now, she had finished reviewing all the news. From the reports coming in from various locations, it appeared that Eastern Spirit had been captured by Ouyang Chen for defying his mother.
