The next morning, Xiang Ming discovered that the princess had mysteriously disappeared and was so frightened that she was beside herself. She rushed to the front yard and informed Xuanyuan Li.
Only then did Xuanyuan Li realise that the posthouse had been raided the night before, and many shadow guards had been killed. His own younger sister had been kidnapped.

At the start of the new year, an incident in the posthouse dissipated the festive cheer of the holiday.
Lin Qingluo, Lin Jinyu, and Lin Jinyun - three siblings personally led a team to the posthouse to thoroughly investigate the case.
The experts from the Imperial Court were summoned to look into Xuanyuan Qing's whereabouts.
At the same time, Little Kingfisher ordered all the birds to sweep across a thousand-mile radius of Capital City in a carpet-search manner, looking for any suspicious persons.

The birds, due to their extensive network, managed to find a lead before the Imperial Court.
