As soon as she heard that her husband had also fallen into the hands of the other party, the peasant woman immediately cried out: "What have you done to my husband? What the hell are you trying to do?! ”

Mo Forget quickly understood Chu Litian's intentions in saying this, and immediately took over and said, "Since this is the case, then the subordinates will go and arrest the man and see who will confess first in the end!" "With that, he will go out.

"Don't! Don't do it! The peasant woman cried out, her face full of tears, and pleaded bitterly, "Don't hurt my husband!" I beg you, don't hurt my husband...... Please......"

"Since you don't want your husband to be harmed, then obediently tell us the whereabouts of the Eighth Imperial Princess!" Mo Forget walked up to the peasant woman, squatted down, and said coldly, "Say! Where did you hide the Eighth Princess?! ”

The peasant woman lowered her head and sobbed incessantly, and after a while she whispered, "You ...... What's the matter with finding the Eighth Princess? ”

Mo Forget frowned and looked back at Chu Litian.

Chu Litian also frowned, looking at the appearance of this peasant woman, it didn't seem like she had done anything harmful to Ye Zitong, but since this was the case, why did the people throughout the whole process hide Ye Zitong's whereabouts?

But Chu Litian didn't have time to think about it, now he did temporarily bluff the peasant woman in front of him, but her husband was actually not in their hands, if they didn't hurry up to ask Ye Zitong's whereabouts from the peasant woman's mouth, when her husband came back, it would all be revealed.

So, under Chu Litian's signal, Mo Forget slowed down his tone and said softly: "We were sent by the capital, the Eighth Imperial Concubine has lost the news for too long, and the capital is very worried, so they sent us over to investigate the news." If anything happens to the Eighth Imperial Princess, it is better to rescue the Eighth Imperial Concubine and help the Eighth Imperial Princess. ”

Mo Forget originally thought that when he said this, the simple peasant woman in front of him would believe it, but he didn't expect that in exchange for a sneer, Mo Forget looked at the peasant woman in front of him with a mocking face, and said: "Do you really think that I, a village girl, am a fool? It was like this last time, and this time it's the same excuse? Who will believe you? ”

As soon as Chu Litian heard her words, he immediately understood why the attitude of the people in the whole city was so consistent, why this family went out so sneakily late at night, and why this peasant woman was threatened...... also refused to tell Ye Zitong's whereabouts.

"Look at your reaction...... Could it be that before us, there were also people who came into the city to find the Eighth Princess? Chu Litian slowly opened his mouth and asked.

The peasant woman was annoyed by her inadvertent gaffe, and in the face of Chu Litian's questioning, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

Such a look naturally fell into the eyes of Chu Litian and Mo Forget, which made them even more sure that Ye Zitong was hidden by them! Moreover, judging from her reaction, they were to protect Ye Zitong, in order to protect Ye Zitong from being harmed again, because before they arrived, someone wanted to take the life of Ye Zitong, the eighth princess, in the name of the capital!

"Untie this lady quickly." Chu Litian hurriedly instructed Mo Forget to say.

Don't forget to hurriedly obey the order and loosen the bond for the peasant woman.

I didn't have time to think about who had come before them, Chu Litian hurriedly squatted down and took out a token from his arms, which was engraved with a royal totem, and there was a "eight" in the center, and handed it to the peasant woman.

"Now, His Highness won't hide it from you." Chu Litian said in a deep voice, "This Royal Highness is the Eighth Prince, who is here to find the Eighth Emperor Princess, who has been ordered to come here to cure the plague, but has not heard from her for many days!" ”

A peasant woman in the countryside didn't know any prince's token, but coincidentally, when a group of them helped Ye Zitong hide some time ago, Ye Zitong had privately told them about the appearance of the royal token, and said that if she didn't hear from her for many days, someone would definitely come to look for her. Therefore, when she saw the man in front of her tell her true identity, the peasant woman almost burst into tears.

"You...... Is it really the Eighth Prince? The peasant woman looked at Chu Litian and asked in a choked voice.

"This highness is none other than the Eighth Emperor Chu Litian!" Chu Litian said categorically, "Now that there are people outside the city who have blocked the major entrances and exits, His Royal Highness has gone to great lengths to enter the city, first, to find His Royal Highness's Eighth Imperial Princess, and second, to help you treat the plague." ”

"It's really good that Your Highness was able to come here." The peasant woman hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed several times, and said gratefully, "If you don't come again, we little people don't know what to do!" ”

"Madame, please get up." Chu Litian hurriedly said, "Without further ado, hurry up and take us to find the Eighth Imperial Princess!" His Highness has not seen her for many days, and he does not know what is wrong with her. ”

The peasant woman stood up and said with relief: "Your Highness, rest assured, the princess is fine at present, but she has not yet found a cure for the plague, but someone has already blocked the city gate, and we, the people, are afraid that the princess will be blamed, so we have to hide her." Your Royal Highness, please come with the people's women, and the people's women will take your Highness down to see the Eighth Princess. ”

So the three of them followed the original road into the mountain again, and at that bend, the peasant woman stopped and said, "Your Highness, there is an entrance here, which is the entrance to the underground tunnel dug by the ancestors to escape the war. However, it is blocked by fallen leaves, and if you don't pay close attention, you won't notice it. ”

With that, she walked over to a towering tree next to her, reached out and pulled something, and suddenly the fallen leaves behind the tree were separated by something, revealing a dark hole.

"This ......" Chu Litian looked at the entrance of the cave, greatly surprised, he didn't expect that ordinary people would be able to come up with such a mechanism, "It's really wonderful, such a mechanism ......"

The peasant woman said with some embarrassment: "Actually, it is based on the small mechanism used for hunting on weekdays, and it is the last life talisman of our small village." ”

Chu Litian hurriedly bowed his hand and said gratefully: "Thank you for saving my wife's life." ”

"Your Highness has won the award, and we ordinary people are really ashamed." The peasant woman hurriedly said.

Under the leadership of the peasant woman, Chu Litian and Mo Forget entered the small cave, and the peasant woman pulled the vines at the entrance of the cave again, and the entrance of the cave was sealed again. This time, Chu Litian saw clearly, it was indeed just a small mechanism, on which were mats turned into some vines, sprinkled with fallen leaves, and the opening and closing were controlled by the pull of the vines.

The underground passage is actually not big, and the three of them walked for less than half an hour before entering a small room, and the back of a man appeared in front of him, Chu Litian recognized him, he was the husband of the peasant woman.

"Why are you here?" When he saw the peasant woman, the farmer was very surprised, and when he saw Chu Litian and Mo Forget, he was immediately shocked, "Why did you bring all the outsiders in?!" Is it ......?"

Chu Litian hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This big brother, please don't panic. His Royal Highness...... I came to find His Highness's beloved wife...... The Eighth Princess's. ”

"Are you...... The Eighth Prince? The farmer stared at Chu Litian in disbelief.

Before Chu Litian could explain, he heard a familiar voice sound: "Yes, he is the Eighth Prince." ”

Ye Zitong!

Hurriedly turned around, and when he saw the person he hadn't seen for many days, Chu Litian was almost about to step forward and hug her tightly in his arms, but he still controlled it.

"I knew you were coming." Ye Zitong smiled and said softly. In fact, in the days before this, Ye Zitong was very unsure in her heart, and even sometimes panicked, but when she saw Chu Litian at this time, she didn't know why, and her heart settled down.

"You woman...... The ability is not very long, but the ability to get into trouble is good. As soon as Chu Litian finished speaking, he almost wanted to slap himself hard, why is he so cheap every time he speaks?!

Ye Zitong didn't care, but said: "During my time here, I have been studying medical books with the doctors in the city, and now I have drawn up a prescription and tried the medicine, and the effect is very good." ”

"Really?" Chu Litian looked at Ye Zitong happily.

Ye Zitong hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, and nodded lightly.

The peasant woman and the farmer suddenly burst into tears, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ye Zitong continuously, and said continuously: "Thank you to the Eighth Princess, thank you to the Eighth Princess, thank you to the Eighth Princess, thank you for saving the lives of our whole city, thank you...... Thank you so much......"

Ye Zitong hurriedly pulled them up, and looked at Chu Litian again, wanting to say something, but looked into his eyes, and the two looked at each other for a while, but they were speechless.

As soon as the morning dawned, Chu Litian took Ye Zitong back to the city guard mansion, handed over the recipe developed by Ye Zitong and them in the past few days to the people below, and told them to hurry up and grab the medicine according to the prescription.

"Remember, the whole city must be cleaned with spirits!" Ye Zitong stood in front of a group of people and said loudly, "The water downstream must not be drunk again, the government takes water from the upstream every day and distributes it; Also, the bedding and utensils used by a qiē patient do not have to be burned, but they must be put into spirits and boiled over high heat before they can be used! ”

"In addition, I instruct all the dignitaries in the city to open the gate and settle the people in the city, and if there is any violation, they will be punished as disobeying the criminal law of our dynasty!" Chu Litian stood aside, suddenly stepped forward, and said in a loud voice.

"Yes!"

Everyone received the order, hurriedly retreated, and went to carry out the order.

Ye Zitong watched everyone disperse, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly: "This qiē is finally coming to an end." ”

Chu Litian looked at Ye Zitong's side face, and said after a while: "Don't worry, no matter what, I won't let you encounter any accidents." ”
