Xiao Qi Tian’s face darkened. He harbored suspicions about their identities. They were all well-trained, yet they did not seem like assassins. Instead, they were more like brave warriors who were not afraid to die, most likely secret soldiers.

But he was puzzled as to who would detest Ning Meng Yao so much as to send such soldiers to murder her, “Send someone to investigate who is behind them, I want to know by today.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

The men under Qiao Tian Yu were caught and taken away by Xiao Qi Tian’s men. Qiao Tian Yu regretted his actions deeply. It seems like they were going to be the ones to take the blame.

“Let’s go back.”

He spurred the horse at full speed to bring Ning Meng Yao back to his residence before sending someone to the palace to call for an imperial physician to make sure that Ning Meng Yao’s condition was stable and her life wasn’t in danger.

Xiao Qi Tian looked at his brother with a huge headache, “Brother, you’re in deep trouble this time.”

“What happened?” Xiao Qi Feng hasn’t seen this side of his younger brother before.

“I was able to find Meng Yao but her condition isn’t good.” It wasn’t only bad, it was simply terrible. There were many bruises on her and she had lost too much blood.

If they were a step later, he didn’t dare to imagine what would happen at the end.

Xiao Qi Feng put the brush, that was in his hand, into a brush holder and looked at his younger brother with a face full of seriousness, “What’s going on? Tell me clearly.”

“Meng Yao’s baby is gone, I don’t even have the guts to inform Tian Chang.” Xiao Qi Tian was in deep agony. He knew that Qiao Tian Chang would come to know of it sooner or later.

Xiao Qi Feng frowned, “Have you found out who was behind it?” Qiao Tian Yu and his men were on strict instructions to bring her back without harm. They were definitely not the ones behind the attack. Xiao Qi Feng was sure that someone else had interfered.

Xiao Qi Tian pressed his lips together and was silent for a while before saying, “This has something to do with our dear uncle, they were from his residence.

“Tell Tian Chang about this news, together with what happened to Ning Meng Yao.” Xiao Qi Feng looked at Xiao Qi Tian and ordered him.

He thought that once Qiao Tian Chang knew about it, he would definitely return. As for Ning Meng Yao, it wasn’t hard to guess how she would react once she knew about it after waking up. What they had to do now was to keep this fire away from them and also from Xiao Country.

He had a slight worry that Ning Meng Yao might behave irrationally after getting the news and end up involving innocent people.

“I got it. When he returns and Meng Yao wakes up, the capital would have to brace itself against a reign of terror.” Xiao Qi Tian sighed deeply. This matter was tied to the Qiao family and the Xiao family. Ling Residence was somewhat related to this incident as well. Whether or not they could get out of this unscathed would depend on the both of them.

Xiao Qi Feng didn’t care about this at all, as long as he wasn’t implicated, then it was none of his business. After all, the Xiao family had so much freedom these past few years and it was time to teach them a lesson.

Xiao Qi Tian didn’t remain in the palace for long. He sent a message to Qiao Tian Chang once he returned to his residence.

After Qiao Tian Chang, who was rushing over to the capital, got the news. His eyes was wide open and red when he read the letter. Anyone could see that the situation was not looking good.

“Young Master, did something happen to Missy?” Qing Shuang and the rest who followed asked after they saw the terrifying look on his face and his blood red eyes, as if he was an evil spirit. Her heart rattled worriedly and she thought to herself: did something happen to Missy?

Lin Zi You and the rest of the men had never seen Qiao Tian Chang like this and were worried about him.

“Boss, are you alright?”

“It’s gone.” Qiao Tian Chang mumbled softly as a feeling of loss, pain and anger rang in his voice.

After hearing him, everyone tensed up, “Boss, don’t...don’t scare us, what exactly happened?” He said it was gone, but what was gone? Was it his wife? What was he thinking?

“The baby is gone.” He had always looked forward to the birth of their child, but now he was told that the child he looked forward to was gone and did not know of was gone because of those people?

Lin Zi You and the others were startled, what Young Master meant was that his wife was pregnant but had a miscarriage.

This news made Lin Zi You and the others a bit worried. No wonder Qiao Tian Chang looked frightening.

“Zi You, write a letter to the Emperor on my behalf. Tell him that I will return to the Royal Court.”
