Chapter 11
But Ye Lian is not a fool, how can the person who walks into someone's inner room in the middle of the night be a good person?
She immediately hid in the bed and shouted in horror, "Who are you? Get out of here, or I'll call someone! ”
The young man in green clothes was impatient to talk to her, and with a flick of his hand, a shiny dagger was inserted into the bedpost beside Ye Lian, which made her scream in fright.
The boy in Tsing Yi stepped forward and grabbed her hair directly, and asked coldly, "Say, who is your husband?" Where did you come from and where are you going? ”
"I, I'm ......" Ye Lian shrank into a ball in fright, her brain was as messy as mush, where could she still reply neatly.
The boy in Tsing Yi raised his hand and gave her two slaps, and the hot pain finally made Ye Lian regain a little courage, "You actually dare to beat me, I am the princess, and my husband is the prince of Zhongyong!" You're dead, you're ......"
"What?" The boy in Tsing Yi changed color, and he regretted that his liver and intestines were broken. He thought that the man was just a bold rich kid, and when he stumbled upon their deeds, he wanted to make a merit and get a reward, but he didn't think that he would let go of such a giant crocodile!
If he is caught, when the two countries are at war, he will definitely be the best threat bargaining chip, but if he can't be caught alive, it would be good to kill him and get rid of this big trouble.
He slapped the bedpost with hatred, but Ye Lian screamed even more-
"You can't kill me, my father is the prime minister! I don't want to die, I don't want to die! ”
I didn't want to say this, but it woke him up, since the giant crocodile had missed it, it was not bad to catch this small fish in front of him, and if it was well conditioned, maybe it would be of some great use in the future.
Thinking like this, he raised his hand and pinched Ye Lian's mouth and stuffed a pill into it.
Ye Lian subconsciously retched twice, but she couldn't spit it out, and couldn't help but ask in horror, "What did you give me?" ”
"You'll find out in a moment." The boy in Tsing Yi stood up for a long time, smiled and refused to speak again.
When Ye Lian opened her mouth to ask again, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if thousands of ants were gnawing at her internal organs. She tore her middle coat with all her might, crying so much that she couldn't even care about her snow-white chest.
"Ah, it hurts me! Save me, save me! ”
The boy in Tsing Yi was indifferent, and after a long cup of tea, he squatted next to Ye Lian who fell on the carpet and sneered: "How is it, my "Absolute Poison Devouring Heart Scatter" tastes good, right?" ”
"Please, help...... Save me! Ye Lian was desperately pulling at his shirt, only wanting to live at this moment, and nothing else could be cared about.
"It's not impossible to save you, but...... Hum! ”
"I don't want to die, save me, I'll listen to your ...... everything" Ye Lian's hair was scattered, her clothes were in tatters, and her facial features were wrinkled together in pain, where else could she think about anything else, as long as she could save her life, she could do anything.
The boy in Tsing Yi laughed silently, extremely proud.
In other words, the rescuer has always been a late role, and the guard who was sent to Xiushui to ask for help killed two good horses along the way, so he sent the letter to General He as quickly as possible.
General He was worried about the safety of the prince, so he immediately ordered five hundred elite soldiers and horses to go out of the camp in person, but unfortunately, when he hurried to the vicinity, he met seven or eight men who looked like dart masters on the road guarding a carriage.
The guard who reported the news was the first to recognize that it was his princess's personal maid sitting on the wheel, so he hurriedly reported to General He.
General He stepped forward on horseback, and when he saw that the carriage was just a small carriage of green cloth common in ordinary markets, and the coachman was not following the prince's escort at all, he was so frightened that his hair stood on end.
He jumped off the horse, stumbled forward, and asked loudly before he had time to salute: "There is the sixth son in the car, and the last general He Xiong is late, so please get out of the car and meet him." ”
Ye Lian was originally taking a handkerchief to wipe her tears, thinking about what she had to do back to Beijing, she felt empty, but when she remembered the horror of that night, she was extremely scared, and at this moment, she couldn't help but hear General He calling the prince outside the car, and she cried even more.
"General He, save the prince, the prince is gone!"
The car door opened, and in addition to Ye Lian, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, there was only a maid shrunk in the corner.
General He only felt a "boom" explosion in his head, and the little luck that he still had was completely blown to pieces.
There is no prince in the car! Something happened to the prince!
Although this Liangcheng is far away from Xiushui, it also belongs to the scope of his guards, if His Majesty hears that his brother is killed, then his family will definitely spend the rest of their lives in a marginal place.
"Princess Niangniang, don't worry, tell me carefully what's going on, where did the prince go?"
"Woo, I don't know." The more Ye Lian cried, the more she felt wronged, she was still very happy when she came out to play, where did she think that everything was not going well along the way, not to mention that she did not succeed in having a round with the prince, and these days she stopped in the poor countryside and did not move, and finally the prince never returned, but a bad star came, almost killing her.
"That night, the prince said that he had something to go out, and I didn't dare to stop it, but some people came in the middle of the night and moved with the guards. I was scared, so I hid in the cupboard, and when I came out, I saw that the guards were dead, and the two maids were also dizzy, I woke them up, and I didn't dare to go to the county office to report the case, so I took the silver to find the dart bureau and escorted us to Xiushui for help. ”
He Xiong listened to it for a long time, there was no useful news at all, and he secretly scolded Ye Lian for being useless in his heart, but his mouth was appeased: "Princess Niangniang, the last general will send someone to escort you back to Xiushui first, and the prince will definitely look for it with all his heart." ”
"Woo, General He, the prince will entrust it to you, you must find the prince." Ye Lian cried more and more.
"Don't worry, the princess and the last general have the grace to save their lives, and the last general will definitely protect the safety of the prince even if he gives his life." General He patiently comforted a few more words, and hurriedly arranged for a reliable captain to divide a hundred soldiers to escort Ye Lian's master and servant on the road.
As for the martial artists of those dart games, because they are very familiar with the surroundings of Liangcheng, they were directly reorganized and made pioneers.
Liangcheng's mansion Yin Zhong Wuyong is a wine bag and rice bag, the emperor is far away on weekdays, no one cares, in addition to eating, drinking, and having fun all day long, he is still eating, drinking, and having fun, and the days are when he is at ease, and he was suddenly brought to the door by General He, and he was scared when he opened his mouth-
"The sixth prince inspected Liangcheng and disappeared for no reason!"
Zhong Wuyong was immediately so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat and rushed out, and he fell to his knees when he plopped, hugging General He's thigh and crying, "General He, Xia Guan didn't know that the prince had arrived in Liangcheng." The prince is missing, and the lower officials have nothing to do with it, you have to be the master of the lower officials! ”
General He saw that someone was even more frightened than him, and his heart was much better, but he still said: "The emperor treats the sixth prince more kindly than the prince, if he knows that the sixth prince has an accident, I am afraid that the Zhong family will be the first to be beheaded, so Zhong Fuyin must fully cooperate with the general to find and rescue the prince, otherwise it will be a big disaster!" ”
"Yes, yes, general, rest assured!"
It's none of your business, hang high, once your own life is at stake, then you can no longer procrastinate and perfunctory.
Zhong Wuyong immediately mobilized the entire Liangcheng Hunt and Guard, and even the ruffians, as for the excuse, it was very easy, just said that General He's nephew was robbed by gangsters when he went to the vicinity, but anyone who had a little abnormality, or shops and pedestrians, was listed in the scope of suspicion.
General Ho scattered his troops and searched within fifty miles of the city, hoping to find some clues. At the beginning, in order to keep it secret, Zuo Yuanhao said very briefly in the letter, and only asked him to bring troops to help, even the guard who sent the letter only knew that the prince found that a Zhuangzi was a little strange, and he had been investigating, but he didn't know where the Zhuangzi was.
General He held this only clue and led people to check the farms of various wealthy households.
It's a pity that they came a little late, Luojiazhuang had already cleaned up, and even entertained a tea and dinner when General He brought people to the door.
No matter how they rummaged, they couldn't wait to dig up three points of the ground, and Zuo Yuanhao was like evaporating from the world, and there was no shadow at all.
Not to mention how to make great efforts to find people here in Liangcheng, just say that the news reached the capital, the Manchu Dynasty was shaken, and the emperor was furious, so he directly smashed the tea cup, and took a few officials from the Criminal Department and the Military Department to drink and scold a full meal, and instructed them to use all means to find the six princes.
Several officials are really innocent, they live in Zangkun City well, and they are not immortals who can pinch and calculate, how could they expect that the six princes who went out to inspect would disappear? If it had been calculated earlier, even if he had been tied, he would have to be tied up in the palace and not go out.
But these complaints can only be hidden in the heart, on the surface, I still have to kowtow and beg for mercy, and in the end, I tried my best to find a way, what kind of people, teachers, friends, can please not delay.
As for Zhong Wuyong and General He, there is no need to say much, the heads of the two families are hanging on the gallows, and they dare not not contribute.
As soon as these officials got busy, the old wives and concubines in the back house were also affected, no one appreciated how beautiful they were dressed, no one would appreciate them, no matter how good their eyes were, no one would pick them up.
Within a few days, the daughter of the Ye family was a mourning star, and as soon as she married into the palace, the prince had a disaster, such rumors spread in the backyards of various families, and there was a tendency to spread more and more, and finally in the ears of the Chen family, it even became the version that Ye Lian was burned to death, otherwise the six princes would not want to be saved.
Chen was anxiously looking forward to his daughter's return, and when he heard such words, he was so angry that he almost fainted, and rushed to the study to pull Prime Minister Ye Cheng to cry.
Prime Minister Ye Cheng has also been anxious these days, originally the eldest daughter escaped from the palace, he was full of heart, and asked people to look for him everywhere but there was no trace, I didn't want this little daughter to have an accident with the prince again, the younger daughter was safe and sound, but the prince was gone.
Although others didn't know that the eldest daughter climbed into bed on the wedding night and provoked the prince to be angry before going out of the capital to inspect, but the emperor knew that he didn't have a good face when he saw him in the past few days, and he could only endure it with his eyebrows lowered and pleasing to his eyes, who let it be his daughter.
Now I hear that my youngest daughter's reputation has also been ruined, which is really worse.
"Okay, don't cry, it's a blessing that Lian'er didn't hurt her life, when she comes back, I'll take her home to live, when the prince finds her, it's not too late to go back."
"Yes, sir." Chen felt a lot better when he heard that his master still felt sorry for his daughter, but then he still asked, "What about those people who slandered Lian'er?" ”
Prime Minister Ye Cheng was also unable to do so, so he had to persuade: "Those who are clear are self-purifying, but they are just a group of long-tongued women, and when they feel bored for a few days, they will subside." ”
A flash of anger flashed in Chen's eyes, and he returned to the backyard with a few words.
Bi Tao brought new tea to Mrs., and couldn't help asking, "Madam, is that all about Miss?" If it takes a while, I don't know what it will become, and the young lady will come back, and I'm afraid that her reputation will be over. ”
"How is that possible?!" Chen snorted coldly, and said hatefully: "Even if the palace really enters the Mourning Star, it is still that little cheap hoof, how can I let Lian'er carry the black cauldron?" ”
After that, she beckoned Bi Tao to step forward and whispered a few words, Bi Tao listened carefully, and quietly withdrew after saluting.
Within two days, another version of the interesting story circulated in the backyards of various rich and noble families, it turned out that on the night of the marriage of the sixth prince, it was not the serious princess who shared the bed with him, but the princess's sister, that is, the rude, willful and chaste Miss Ye.
Let's not talk about what means Miss Ye used to climb the bed successfully, just say that because the prince was fooled, he took Miss Ye Er out to inspect in a fit of anger, but Miss Ye Er was safe and sound, but the prince encountered an accident, showing that Miss Ye was the mourning star.
So the wind turned, and everyone sympathized with Miss Ye Er, who was victimized by her sister, and Miss Ye had only a trace of fame left, and she was completely wiped clean.
Ye Lian returned to Tibetan Wonton City in such a crowd of opinions, the emperor was worried about his younger brother, so he called his younger daughter-in-law into the palace for inquiry as soon as possible, but unfortunately, Ye Lian was in the carriage and backyard all the way, and she didn't know what Zuo Yuanhao was planning, of course, the boy in Tsing Yi that night, she couldn't wait to forget it completely, how dare she say it?
The emperor was extremely disappointed, and in desperation, he had to reward his brother and daughter-in-law with a bunch of fabrics and jewelry, and finally sent her back to the prime minister's mansion.
When she finally saw her father, Ye Lian cried like tears, and Prime Minister Ye comforted her a few words, and handed over her daughter to his wife to take care of.
The mother and daughter sent the big and small maids, and when they sat together, Ye Lian grabbed her mother's arm and told her about that night, and finally asked in horror: "Mother, that person said that if I don't give him information, he won't give me the antidote, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that my intestines will rot and I will die of pain." Mother, I'm afraid! ”
Chen Shi was also stunned, and only after a while did he ask, "Have you told anyone about this?" ”
Ye Lian shook her head, "No, I don't even know about the spring night and the drizzle, they were knocked unconscious at the time, and after waking up, I only said that I escaped by pulling them to hide under the bed." She still couldn't bear the guilt in her heart, and asked cautiously: "Mother, did you say that the prince ...... because of the medicine I put in the tea?"
"Absolutely not!" Chen slapped his daughter on the body and scolded: "Don't even think about this idea in the future, the prince is a dignified and loyal prince, and he is very skilled, how can he be so good because of such a trivial matter, it must be that the enemy is too powerful, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
