Chapter 269

That person lowered his head, as they walked closer, still no reaction, like a dead person. Mo Jiuye's heart suddenly raced faster, he went ahead and gently raised that person's head.

"Seventh brother, you're really here."

Mo Yuance's eyes were tightly shut, already in an unconscious state, visible blood stains could be seen from the corners of his mouth, nose and eyes.

He Zhiran reached out to check his breath.

"He's still alive."

Seeing Mo Yuance's miserable state, Mo Jiuye's eyes turned red again, at this moment he wished he could immediately kill those who persecuted the Mo family men.

He Zhiran knew he felt upset, went ahead and patted his shoulder to remind: "Don't feel sad, first take Seventh Brother away from here."

Mo Jiuye struggled to calm his thoughts: "Okay."

After he finished speaking, he took out the key and opened the lock chaining Mo Yuance, He Zhiran waved her hand, and sent the person into the space, also lying in the operating room.

The two swiftly left the dungeon, found a hidden place to enter the space.

Without caring about Mo Yuance's other injuries first, the first thing He Zhiran had to do was to help him remove Gu.

Mo Jiuye was now very familiar with the Gu removal process, without He Zhiran's instructions, he did the assistant's job.

He Zhiran skillfully helped Mo Yuance remove the Gu worms and collected them in a container.

After the Gu worm was successfully removed, He Zhiran started checking his body.

After some examination, his condition was somewhat better than Fourth Brother, at least he didn't reach the point of having his hands and feet cut off, but his body was as weak as Fourth Brother’s. Also that whole body of skin injuries, using the words skin and flesh torn was an understatement, and new wounds covered old wounds, it was visible how much inhuman torture he suffered here.

Although Fourth Princess was kind-hearted, wanting to keep Mo Yuance here to avoid him becoming a dead warrior endangering his life.

With her status in the Residence of the Crown Prince, she was simply unable to keep Seventh Brother safe, but ended up making things worse instead.

Mo Jiuye assisted He Zhiran, together they treated Seventh Brother's wounds, He Zhiran also gave him some IV fluids.

After all they were still inside the Residence of the Crown Prince, they couldn't stay in the space for too long. After He Zhiran injected Mo Yuance with another tranquilizer, the two left the space.

By now, the Residence of the Crown Prince was already in chaos.

The Crown Prince who originally went to deal with matters regarding the Crown Princess Consort, after hearing that his own bedroom treasures were lost, without discovering any traces of the thieves, was furious.

Not only did he mobilize all the guards in the residence, he also ordered people to mobilize the Imperial Guards from the palace to jointly search.

At present, not only was the Residence of the Crown Prince under high alert, even the entire capital had Imperial Guards everywhere.

Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran's outfits walking in the Residence of the Crown Prince didn’t raise others’ suspicion, the two still held their night watch tools roaming everywhere, no one came to make trouble for them.

What they were more anxious about now was to find Concubine Xiao as soon as possible and leave this place early.

The two soon found Xiao Concubine's residence. With such a big incident happening in the Residence of the Crown Prince, Concubine Xiao naturally hadn't gone to bed yet.

At this moment, she was sitting in the main hall with several maids waiting for news from outside.

In the flicker of time, He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye knocked out all the people including Concubine Xiao, then quickly started searching.

This Concubine Xiao was indeed favored, her bedroom was furnished with all kinds of precious antiques, paintings and jewelry. There was also a medium-sized treasury in her yard.

Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran broke into the door, scanned for a moment, then Mo Jiuye said, "Most of these are Fourth Princess’s dowries."

He had seen the list of Fourth Princess’s dowries that year, so he was not unfamiliar with the items before him.

With the current chaos in the Residence of the Crown Prince, they still didn’t know the situation outside, and didn’t dare to delay here for too long.

Especially for Dan Pi, according to Mo Jiuye, it was originally kept in a small wooden box at that time. Wanting to ascertain whether that small wooden box was among these many items, they didn’t have enough time.

They could only wait until it was safe to check it again in the space. Anyway, as Fourth Princess said, Dan Pi was with Concubine Xiao, as long as they took everything from her, it surely wouldn’t disappoint them.

After ransacking everything in Concubine Xiao’s yard, taking advantage of the chaos, they found the treasury of the Residence of the Crown Prince again and collected all the items inside the space.

Anyway Seventh Brother's Gu was removed. Even if the Crown Prince held the mother Gu worm in his hands, it would no longer endanger Seventh Brother’s life. They would find another chance to settle accounts with him later. At present, they had to hurry back to the yard they rented, as there were many officials who came into the city to search places under the orders of the furious Crown Prince. Once Fourth Brother encountered danger, it would not be worth it.

The two jumped over the wall to leave the Residence of the Crown Prince. As expected, the streets were full of armed officers everywhere.

To avoid trouble, Mo Jiuye led He Zhiran over the roofs and walls all the way back to the yard they rented, avoiding those officers’ sight.

Although Mo Xiuyan didn’t have much strength and spirit yet, after Ninth Brother and Sister-in-Law had been out for so long, especially in Nanjiang territory, it would be false to say there was no risk.

He tried his best to pull himself together and waited for them to come back, half-leaning in bed.

Mo Jiuye brought He Zhiran back without entering through the front door, but jumping over the wall, because there were already many officers outside, going from door to door searching houses.

After entering Fourth Brother’s room, Mo Jiuye sent Shun Zi away before speaking, “Fourth Brother, there are many officers outside searching.”

At this moment, Mo Xiuyan also heard some movement.

"Ninth Brother, take Sister-in-Law to hide away, don't bother about me." He had already become disabled, he didn’t want to drag down Ninth Brother and his wife.

It was impossible to abandon Fourth Brother alone here. He Zhiran hurriedly took out her acupuncture kit, quickly pricked his fainting point when Fourth Brother was not paying attention, and casually sent him into the space.

As for Shun Zi outside, they weren’t worried that he would be in danger. Shun Zi could read lips and communicate with gestures. If the searching people came in and obtained clues from him, that would be troublesome.

With this thought, Mo Jiuye went out with a hand chop and knocked out Shun Zi, bringing him into the space together with Fourth Brother to hide temporarily.

After entering the space, He Zhiran took advantage of Fourth Brother’s unconsciousness and transfused another bag of plasma into him.

Not long after they entered the space, the searching officers outside broke in, of course the result of the search was nothing.

The two were in no hurry to go out either, after simply eating something to fill their stomachs in the space, He Zhiran went to the farm to check on the status of the two maidservants.

The two maids were still unconscious at the moment, but He Zhiran knew clearly that including Fourth Brother, they would wake up after about another hour.

As for Seventh Brother, he remained unconscious, and He Zhiran couldn’t determine when he would wake up.

In order not to expose her space to more people, He Zhiran flashed out alone to check things out.

It was obvious that the door of their yard had been forcibly broken open, the house door was wide open too, and the bedding on the bed was also messed up, clearly this place had already been searched by those officers.

Since it was searched, it meant it would be safe for the time being.

So she turned back to space again and brought everyone out.
