Not one voice echoed in the big, silent hall. Outside of the hall, many soldiers were on standby since morning to wait for the general's command to move.

The chubby person who's currently kneeling is the now-awake Li Mo Mo.

"Tell me everything you know. Spit them out now." Slender fingers were pinching the jade beads on his bracelet.

Xiao Zhi Zhi looked exhausted, his dark circles worsened, but his current expression was blank, like a calm before a storm.

"In...In response to General Xiao, this lowly one was ordered by Master Zhi to find Lady Chu and bring her here. Originally, everything was fine, but as we were walking in the courtyard, this lowly one suddenly felt sharp pain on my neck and I fainted."

Standing beside her, Officer Zhi started to tremble as soon as he heard his name in Li Mo Mo's testimony.

"Did you clearly see the person?"

His slender fingers were still pinching the jade beads, no one inside the hallway dared to breathe loudly.

"N-no... I didn't..."

*thud*

Li Mo Mo once again fainted because of fear, her chubby and elderly body couldn't handle the stress of the situation.

"Report!"

Military Officer Liu walked to the hall and knelt on the ground.

"This lowly one followed the scent of the Wen Xiang Cong, and we have discovered that Lady Chu is currently being held at the third courtyard villa."

Once he finished relaying the report, Officer Zhi was shocked.

"Th-The third courtyard of the villa... That is the imperial third prince's residence in Cong Zhou! Military Officer Liu, maybe you made a small mistake somewhere?"

"Is Officer Zhi doubting the Wen Xiang Cong?" Officer Liu taunted him.

The Wen Xiang Cong is an insect that is golden in color. After taking a person's blood, it can easily find the location of a person no matter where they are.

Of course, the person should be warned in advance to not put any strong scents on their body.

"I do not dare." Officer Zhi felt his palms sweat more.

Xiao Zhi Zhi's fingers stopped fiddling with the beads on his bracelet. He took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and commanded Officer Liu.

"Quickly prepare ten thousand soldiers and surround the third courtyard villa!"

"Yes!" Military Officer Liu received the command.

"Ge-General Xiao, surrounding the third prince's villa is a very serious matter. If the Emperor wants to blame us..." He won't be able to protect his head from falling out of his body.

Xiao Zhi Zhi disappeared even before Officer Zhi finished his words, not even his shadow can be found.

Inside the third courtyard villa, the third prince doubtfully looked at the fainted and tied up Chu Zhu Yu and asked,

"Is this the rumoured woman?"

"Yes, she is." The servant replied.

"So, which part of her attracted Xiao Zhi Zhi?"

"This servant doesn't know, but all the people in the Zhi's residence said that Xiao Zhi Zhi dotes on this woman."
