554 He’s Here (1)
When Luo Tan was found, she was in an almost abandoned alley in the west of the capital. The alley was connected to several alleys, and the route was very zigzagging and difficult to navigate.
However, although they found Luo Tan, the situation wasn’t great. Luo Tan was stabbed deeply near her abdomen, and the wound was very deep. When they brought her back to the Shen mansion, she was already on the verge of death. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝑚
A few doctors came in a row. When they saw Luo Tan’s injuries, they shook their heads repeatedly. Shen Xin was so angry that he almost pulled out his sword at the doctors. It was Luo Xueyan who stopped him and said, “These doctors are all quacks. Go and invite the imperial physicians from the palace! Aren’t the people from the Imperial Hospital all capable of bringing the dead back to life? Whoever cures Tan will be heavily rewarded by the Shen family!”

Shen Qiu handed a letter signed by Shen Xin to his subordinate and asked him to go to the palace to invite the imperial physician. Everyone surrounded Luo Tan’s bed. Luo Xueyan’s eyes were red as she said, “Who did it? How can they be so cruel!”
Luo Ling’s eyes darkened. Luo Tan was his cousin. Now that her life was uncertain, he naturally felt terrible. However, what made people even more uneasy was that they had found Luo Tan, but they still did not know where Shen Miao was. Luo Tan was already in such a state. The kidnappers did not show any mercy and were clearly vicious people. No one dared to imagine what would happen to Shen Miao.
The soldiers of the Shen army searched the capital without stopping, but they could not find any clues. It was as if the kidnappers had disappeared into thin air. The houses of the commoners had already been searched as well as the streets and alleys. They could not search the mansions of those officials. Even if they wanted to, they did not have the right.
The room fell into a terrifying silence.
Shen Miao did not know what was happening outside. When she woke up, she did not know what time it was.
Her hands and feet were tied and she could not move. Shen Miao slowly opened her eyes. The kidnappers had forgotten to blindfold her. Perhaps they felt that there was no need.
This was an empty secret room. There was a desk, a cabinet, and a bed inside. She did not know where it was, but it looked like a secret room in someone’s mansion. Shen Miao could not even move and could only observe her surroundings quietly.
There was no sound outside and she could not hear anything. Shen Miao had been knocked unconscious previously, and she did not know what happened. She did not know if Luo Tan had escaped or not and if she had delivered the message to Xie Jingxing.
Now, Shen Xin was a figure that everyone in the capital dreaded, especially since the people of the State of Qin and the Daliang Dynasty had not left yet. Because Emperor Wen Hui wanted to rely on Shen Xin to boost morale, Shen Xin’s status was also rising steadily. In addition, he had taken back his military power, so ordinary people would not mess with him. Now, someone actually did it. Shen Miao could guess who it was without thinking. Other than Princess Ming An, who else would be so foolhardy?
However, she did not expect Princess Ming An to find helpers in the capital so quickly. Clearly, Princess Ming An would not do it herself, and even Huangfu Hao would not allow Princess Ming An to do such a stupid thing. The people who kidnapped her were actually among the Feng family’s guards. They knew something about the Feng family and seemed to know Feng Anning’s schedule very well. At that time, they drove the carriage into a deserted alley and quickly shook off the Feng family’s guards. Everything clearly indicated that the helpers Princess Ming An found were very familiar with the routes in Ming Qi. Clearly, they were born and raised in the capital.
