The wind blew, the leaves rattled, and a woman sat in front of the window, half-draped in her hair, full of haggardness, but she could not hide her beautiful face.

Wen Ruyi frowned, her eyes were fixed on a bead in her hand, it had been several days, but there was still no news of Chu Hongze, she was really worried.

"Princess, it's cold, you better rest early!" Qing Ning walked into the room and draped a cloak in her hand on Wen Ruyi's body.

Wen Ruyi raised his head and saw that it was Qing Ning, so he got up and asked, "Does the prince have any news now?" ”

Now the whole dynasty is the power of the crown prince Chu Hongchen, and the only competitor Chu Hongze is nowhere to be found, the emperor's health is getting weaker, and he doesn't know when he will drive the crane west, and then this Longteng country is not Chu Hongchen's final say.

"No news yet." Qing Ning shook her head and frowned slightly, in fact, they had been looking for news of King Rui, but they had never found it, Chu Hongze seemed to have disappeared suddenly.

Having already expected this answer in his heart, Wen Ruyi could only sigh lightly, and was helped by Qing Ning to the bed and couldn't fall asleep, but his thoughts flipped in his heart, carefully recalling the events of the day Chu Hongze disappeared.

Suddenly, Wen Ruyi's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, Qi Lao chose to cooperate with Mu Zirong for his own selfish interests, and later ...... Maybe I'll get a clue from him......

The more Wen Ruyi thought about it, the more reasonable she felt, she got up in a hurry as soon as it was dawn, and left the house after a rough make-up.

Now that Princess Rui has returned to the Rui Palace, Chu Hongchen, who got the news, naturally looked at the Rui Palace, if she wanted to swagger out of the mansion during the day, the prince would definitely get the news, and she would be hindered in every possible way, and she would definitely be restricted at that time.

Wen Ruyi limped, and then quietly entered Qing Ning's room.

"Qingning."

Qing Ning had just gotten up at the moment, and was about to go to fetch water for Wen Ruyi to boil water, when she saw Wen Ruyi coming over by herself, she was a little surprised, it was very cold in the early morning, and Wen Ruyi's body was still cold.

Qing Ning hurriedly welcomed Wen Ruyi in, her face was full of surprise, "Why did the princess get up so early?" The slave and maid went to boil water. ”

"Alas, wait." Wen Ruyi grabbed Qing Ning's hand.

Qing Ning couldn't help but be shocked, looked at Wen Ruyi suspiciously, and frowned subconsciously, "Princess, why are your hands so cold?" She fixed her eyes and took a closer look, Wen Ruyi's dress was clearly the dress of a maid in the house, and the thin ones were not even as good as Qingning's clothes.

"Princess, who are you?" Such a scene made Qing Ning even more surprised, she didn't understand what Wen Ruyi was going to do when she was dressed like this.

Wen Ruyi pulled Qing Ning over, and saw that there was no one left and right, so he whispered to her, "Now that the situation between the DPRK and China is tense, the prince holds heavy power, and the prince has not returned for a long time, we must not just give up the country to the prince and let him ascend the throne at any time, I am afraid that the world will be ruined, and the Rui Wangfu will definitely not be able to keep it." ”

In the end, Wen Ruyi took a deep breath and said his plan, "I plan to find the prince, and now only the prince can reverse this situation." ”

Hearing Wen Ruyi's plan, Qing Ning couldn't help frowning, although she was worried about Wen Ruyi's safety, but the current situation was only like this, as Wen Ruyi said, only when the prince came back could it be possible to reverse the situation.

Qing Ning nodded, "Okay, the slave maid will pack up and leave with the princess." ”

Just as he was about to move, Qing Ning was pulled by Wen Ruyi again, Wen Ruyi's tone was unbearable, and said, "Qing Ning, it's too big for the two of us to move together, this time I can go alone, I still need you to do something else." ”

Qing Ning lowered her eyes, saw Wen Ruyi's emotions, and then suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, "Princess, the life of the slave maid was saved by you, if there is a chance to repay it, the slave maid will not be afraid of going up the sword mountain and going down to the sea of fire!" ”

The sentences were sonorous and powerful, Wen Ruyi's eyes suddenly became hot, and then he pulled up Qing Ning, and his tone was choked, "Qing Ning, I have always regarded you as my own sister, if it weren't for this special situation, I wouldn't have let you fall into such a dangerous situation, but now I have no other way." ”

Seeing that the sky was full of fish and white belly, Wen Ruyi held Qing Ning's hand tightly, "The prince will definitely know my whereabouts in the Rui Wangfu, so I need you to confuse the prince in the Rui Wangfu as usual, and buy me time to get out of the city." ”

Qing Ning knew Wen Ruyi's plan, so she naturally nodded heavily, "Princess, don't worry!" The slave must do her best. ”

Wen Ruyi lowered her head, glanced at Qing Ning deeply, then patted her shoulder, turned around and jumped out of the window, and left the house through the back door alone.

The reason why she didn't take Qingning was because she was afraid of startling the snake, so she simply left Qingning's eyeliner to confuse the prince, after all, Chu Hongchen would definitely stare at her tightly now.

All the way, the sun is gradually rising, it just so happens that today's people came out early to catch the market, and there are many people on the street, giving Wen Ruyi a hidden space.

Walking in stride, listening to the people around him talking about what vegetables are cheap today, what melons and fruits are sweet, and which family's rice is expensive, I even feel that it is not bad to be so peaceful, after all, Guotai and Min'an are the best state of a country.

Her original plan was to follow the crowd to the market on Higashidaji and leave under the cover of the crowd.

Don't leave halfway just for fear that the countercurrent will be easy to find, fortunately, the city gate out of the city is not far from the market, but it is just a street away, this distance Wen Ruyi is still sure not to be discovered.

However, the truth always loves to play tricks on people, Wen Ruyi was walking, and when he saw a small group of people in front of him, it was not the prince Chu Hongchen who was surrounded.

Wen Ruyi was suddenly shocked in her heart, I don't know if Chu Hongchen got the news to arrest her or happened to pass by here?

It's not completely dawn this morning, what is Chu Hongchen doing here? Wen Ruyi was puzzled in her heart, but after thinking about it, the only reason that made sense was that Chu Hongchen still got the news and came to arrest her.

Wen Ruyi subconsciously hurriedly turned around and tried to avoid the prince, but in the end she was still going against the current, secretly praying in her heart that Chu Hongchen was just passing by here, not to arrest her.

This is indeed the case, Chu Hongchen was really passing by here, but at the moment when Wen Ruyi turned around, Chu Hongchen saw it clearly, and he was a little puzzled in his heart.

was smiling and shaking his head, when he felt dazzled, Chu Hongchen was suddenly stunned, the situation at this moment, he must be extremely careful, this carelessness is a broken bone, he must not make a mistake again, otherwise it will be a losing game.

Turning around again to look at the figure that was gradually moving away, a touch of gloom and ruthlessness flashed in Chu Hongchen's eyes, he would rather kill by mistake than let go, he couldn't be sloppy.

Chu Hongchen frowned slightly, turned his head sideways and instructed the guards on the side, "Go, follow the woman in front." ”

The attendant answered the order and entered.

Wen Ruyi's figure is easy to find, because there are people all around who are going to the market, she just turned around and walked against the current, and she will be easily discovered, Wen Ruyi also knows this truth, and Chu Hongchen and his people are also not far away, so she sped up her pace, afraid that someone behind her would follow.

At the same time, his eyes looked around, and suddenly saw that a tailor shop had just opened, and Wen Ruyi hurriedly flashed into the tailor shop in silence.

picked out a piece of clothing and entered the room of the fitting room, Wen Ruyi directly threw a gold ingot to the shopkeeper, then hurriedly changed his clothes, quietly jumped out of the back window, and fled in a hurry.

As soon as the prince's attendant entered the door, he looked left and right, but he didn't see Wen Ruyi come out, so he could only walk up and ask, "A girl dressed as a maid just came in, where is she?" ”

The shopkeeper looked at him quite vigilantly, and with this attitude, he naturally felt uncomfortable, and said coldly, "Who are you that girl?" ”

The attendant also impatiently took out a token and shouted to the shopkeeper, "I am the prince's personal guard, and that girl is a fugitive, what about her?" ”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly apologized with a smile, and pointed in the direction of a fitting room with trembling fingers, "That...... That's where the girl auditions for clothes. ”

When the guard heard this, he didn't say a word, and stepped forward and kicked the door open, but it was empty, where was there a single figure? Looking at the clothes on the ground and the half-open windows, I still don't understand what is going on.

He couldn't help but scold himself secretly, and scolded Wen Ruyi for being so cunning, so he had to go back to recover his life, this person was lost.

The subordinates came back and knelt respectfully in front of Chu Hongchen, with a worried and panicked look on his face, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, his subordinates are incompetent, this person ...... Gone without a trace. ”

Sure enough, Chu Hongchen, who heard this, immediately changed his face, his eyes became more and more condensed, as if another storm was surging inside, and the aura around him seemed to be condensed a little, "It's really a waste, what does this palace want you for?" ”

"Your Highness forgives your sins, Your Highness forgives your sins!" The subordinates had a panicked look on their faces, anxiously begging for mercy.

Chu Hongchen, who heard this voice, became more and more impatient, he raised his eyes and glanced at the top of the man's head, and said in a cold voice, "Forget it, this palace will give you a chance to atone for your sins, you immediately arrange for people to search around, and then send someone to Rui Wangfu to inquire about the situation, and if there is any news, come back and tell this palace immediately!" ”

"Yes, my subordinates have orders!" Hearing that Chu Hongchen actually forgave him and gave him a chance to atone for his sins, the man immediately respectfully accepted the order, and made up his mind in his heart that he must find that person to do it.

There was only Chu Hongchen's single figure in the huge room, and the one on his face was not very good-looking, for so long, he felt that he was now at ease, after all, he saw with his own eyes that Chu Hongze had been quietly taken away by Mu Zirong, and no one knew about it at all, plus Wen Ruyi and Qi Lao were also missing, he even felt that God was helping him.
