People at the Official's Residence knew in private about the disappearance of Jiang Youyao not long ago. Jiang Yuanbai had never given up and continued to send people to search for her, but unfortunately, all efforts returned futile. Those in the know at the Official's Residence believed that either Jiang Youyao's fate hung by a thread, or she had already left Yanjing City. They never expected to find her now in the private prison of Princess Yongning's Mansion—this matter was of great importance, so they did not dare to be negligent and immediately notified the Chief Minister's Residence.
Upon hearing the news, Jiang Yuanbai hurried over. When he saw Jiang Youyao, he actually shed tears in front of everyone, took Jiang Youyao back to the Jiang Residence, and soon after arranged for a physician. Not long thereafter, word spread that Jiang Yuanbai had gone to the palace with a stern face, seeking an explanation from Emperor Hongxiao.
