Chapter 349: Plundered
Originally, things should have gone on in such an orderly manner, but a sudden action disrupted everything Xuanyuan Zichen had originally planned.
On this day, Shen Liuyue took Yi'er to the street, mainly to get the hosta that had been set before, which was the birthday gift that Shen Liuyue planned to give to Xuanyuan Zichen, and it was also the style that Shen Liuyue personally made and selected.
Originally, it seemed that there was nothing, but Shen Liuyue took a shortcut for convenience.
There are a lot of shortcuts from the Regent's Mansion to the surrounding areas, and Shen Liuyue is quite familiar with this, so she doesn't feel anything.
Until after entering a small alley, there was no one in front and back, left and right, although Shen Liuyue subconsciously felt that something was not right, but she still walked forward with the maid, when she just walked to the head of the alley, she was greeted by a burst of powder, Yi'er immediately stepped forward to protect Shen Liuyue, but was knocked from behind, and then fell down weakly, and when her memory was blurred in the end, Yi'er only found that the person who took Shen Liuyue had a blood-colored lotus flower on her dress.
After Xuanyuan Zichen came back, he waited in the mansion for a long time, but he didn't wait for Shen Liuyue, and went to get the teacup in a frustration, but with a trembling hand, he dropped his favorite teacup on the ground recently, and it was shattered in an instant, and the porcelain piece even crossed Xuanyuan Zichen's hand, leaving a bloodstain.
This looks...... Xuanyuan Zichen's heart twitched suddenly, and then he immediately got up and arranged for someone to go to find Shen Liuyue.
In the end, he found Yi'er who had fainted in the alley, and then not far away there was the purple jade pendant that Shen Liuyue was wearing today, lying alone on the ground, and the knot was broken.
At this time, Yi'er was drowsy, and after emergency treatment, she barely recovered her senses.
When he saw Xuanyuan Zichen, his panicked demeanor instantly improved: "Lord Wang, just now someone took the princess and ambushed here for a long time, the slave and maid did not check for a while, and they were attacked, and they couldn't save the princess."
There was still a little white powder on the ground, and after the doctor checked it, it was clear that it was a strong sweat medicine.
Xuanyuan Zichen had a rough idea in his heart about how to act for those people, and asked Yi'er to help her up, and she personally picked up the purple jade pendant that Shen Liuyue had dropped on the ground, and then held it tightly, her expression became calmer and calmer, like the calm before the storm.
Ying Yi knew that the people of the Blood Lotus Sect had touched the bottom line of the prince, but they rushed to plunder the princess under the sun, even near the Regent Palace, which was a naked provocation to the palace.
"Let's go back for now."
Blood Lotus Sect!! Xuanyuan Zichen secretly swore in his heart that he must find the Blood Lotus Sect again and wash the sect members in blood.
But doing such a thing in the capital, Xuanyuan Zichen is the first time to see it, but since he dares to do it, he needs to have the courage to take it.
However, in order to prevent someone in the mansion from revealing the news, Xuanyuan Zichen asked Ying Yi to take the lead and tied up all the spies who had been planted by others before.
However, by the side of Xuanyuan Zichen and Shen Liuyue, it was indeed difficult for them to insert people.
In fact, the reason is quite simple, because Shen Liuyue doesn't like to be surrounded by too many people, and it is enough to have two maids. Xuanyuan Zichen doesn't like too many people around him, and strangers getting close to his territory will make him feel dangerous.
After cleaning the Regent's Mansion up and down, Xuanyuan Zichen felt a little more comfortable in his heart, but he didn't let go of his worries about Shen Liuyue for a moment.
The purple jade pendant has always been held by Xuanyuan Zichen, and it is carved with a lotus, which is a gift from Xuanyuan Zichen to Shen Liuyue before.
Shen Liuyue likes this very much, so she often wears it.
After knowing why Shen Liuyue left the palace, Xuanyuan Zichen became more and more worried about Shen Liuyue.
Up and down the regent's palace, because of the disappearance of the princess, the prince has become more and more unfathomable, and the people who serve him naturally have to be careful, lest they anger the prince, and they will not end up very well.
Originally, the investigation of the Blood Lotus Sect should have been the responsibility of Jinyiwei, but after this incident, Xuanyuan Zichen was personally responsible for this matter, and for a while, the atmosphere in the capital became more and more tense.
But because of the investigation of this matter, Xuanyuan Zichen discovered a problem, there were many missing girls in the capital, most of these girls were taken away when they went out, and they used sweat medicine similar to Shen Liuyue.
Among them, there are women from ordinary families, of course, there are women from aristocratic families, and the family members of the missing women know that Xuanyuan Zichen investigated this matter, and specially sent a post, Yan Ming As long as he can bring his child back, he will be regarded as owing Xuanyuan Zichen a favor.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates feel that the people who robbed the princess don't know the true identity of the princess, they may have been ambushed there, but the princess happened to pass by and was taken away."
Ying Yi has always been very sensitive to this kind of thing, and analyzed the current form for Xuanyuan Zichen and came to such a conclusion.
Putting the post in his hand on the table, Xuanyuan Zichen closed his eyes slightly: "If that's the case, then it's okay." It's just that they have taken away so many girls in the capital, what do they want to do? ”
Xuanyuan Zichen instantly opened his eyes and looked at Ying Yi fiercely: "Do you remember what Your Majesty said when you entered the palace with me?" Love Net
“…… What the prince said was that they irrigated the lotus flower with blood, which was their most loyal faith. ”
Ying Yi instantly understood what Xuanyuan Zichen meant, and after being by Xuanyuan Zichen's side for so many years, Ying Yi's understanding of Xuanyuan Zichen was beyond Shen Liuyue's.
"Right...... So they may be plotting something bigger, we must find the princess as soon as possible, finding the princess means finding so many women, if they really have an accident at the same time, I am afraid that the sky in the capital will change. ”
This is not alarmist, now these people have plundered hundreds of women, including many daughters of wealthy families, if these people really have an accident together, it will definitely set off a bloody storm in the capital, and the people contacted at that time will not be one or two.
At that time, even if the mastermind behind the scenes is found out, what kind of role will it have?
What's more, there is a Shen Liuyue in this.
The shadow became more and more cold: "Being able to openly plunder women in the capital, it means that they themselves are in the capital, if not, how could so many women be taken out?"
Taking out the map of the capital, Xuanyuan Zichen and Ying Yi carefully calculated, where should these women be held?
The last sight was on the north of the city, which was full of civilians, although it had been sorted out several times over the years, and it was no longer as messy as before. But when it comes to hiding people, this is indeed the most suitable place.
However, the area of the capital is huge, and the people living in the north of the city are hundreds of thousands, if you really want to investigate them one by one, I am afraid that it will not be a simple matter.
Just when Xuanyuan Zichen and Ying Yi were struggling with where to find Shen Liuyue, Shen Liuyue had already woken up from a coma at this time, and there were no other side effects of the sweat pill, so Shen Liuyue's spirit was not bad.
It's just that, if you count the time, it should be daytime, but this vision is a little too dim.
This place can obviously be seen to be the layout of the cell, and there are a lot of women, from Shen Liuyue's point of view, the opposite row is like this, each cell has almost ten women, so I am afraid that there are hundreds of women in this whole place.
The cell where she lived was still empty, probably because it was not full yet, Shen Liuyue cautiously moved to the door, listening to the people outside. What message does the intent come out of it?
The whole cell was filled with women's cries, Xu knew that crying and crying had no effect, and all of them were subtle cries.
The cell where Shen Liuyue was located was close to the door, and the two people guarding the door were not far away, and it was estimated that they would not be able to escape, so these two people spoke loudly and did not shy away from it.
"I heard that the wind outside has been too tight recently, and the regent seems to have formed a brocade guard, which is responsible for keeping an eye on this matter, but we still have some people left, and we don't know when we will be able to make up for it."
The other person spoke, indirectly accompanied by the sound of drinking: "What are you afraid of?" This place can be described as very hidden, and the people of the court will definitely not find out here, besides, although there are still dozens of girls missing, these women can also be dealt with first, so that they will not be exposed too much. ”
"That's a good way to do that. However, can using these women to refine medicine really prolong life? ”
Regarding this person's doubts, another person was a little disdainful: "What kind of medicine refining is not refining, I told you before that these women are to be sacrificed to the living Buddha as a tribute, so that the living Buddha can appreciate the medicine, as for prolonging life......"
Shen Liuyue couldn't hear the latter words clearly, because this person's specially lowered voice seemed to be because someone was involved, and Shen Liuyue guessed that it might be a court official.
However, using so many women to sacrifice made her think of what Xuanyuan Zichen said, the scene of the concubine in the palace sacrificing the living Buddha.
In this way, this kind of sacrifice is going to make people bleed to death slowly, Shen Liuyue is a little scared, but it is still within the controllable range.
This sacrifice is estimated to be carried out soon, and I don't know if such a long time is enough for Xuanyuan Zichen to find here, if there is something wrong at that time, will his life not be saved?
Sitting down against the corner, Shen Liuyue's calm attitude was completely different from the other women in the cell, and she had been targeted before Shen Liuyue noticed.
Although it is said that all the girls here are girls, there is a big difference in appearance, according to Shen Liuyue's appearance, it can be said to be rare here.
In this case, having such a face means danger.
With a long sigh, Shen Liuyue secretly wondered to herself, what kind of method should she use to save herself? Or to save these women here.
Sacrificing with the blood and life of a young girl, where is this living Buddha? It is clearly an evil Buddha.
However, it seems that some barbarian places will use such methods to sacrifice, where do these people come from?
