Chapter Twenty-Five: Princess Min
"Wu Qing, it's none of your business here, go back quickly!" The voice of the third prince sounded after the explosion, as if it was still a foot away, and the tone seemed to be dissatisfied with Wu Qing's interference.
"Yes." The tiger-toothed man turned his head in response, grinned at the summer night, and quickly retreated, quickly disappearing into the night.
"By the way, I remember, isn't he the young owner of Wu Fengzhai." Summer Night suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and before she was happy to find it, a withered hand had already grabbed her wrist, and the nails of this hand were so sharp and sharp that they almost pierced her flesh.
After eating the pain, Xia Ye came back to her senses, and saw that the firewood Laosan who was like a piece of charcoal was grabbing her to death, he didn't know where it came from, she couldn't help but be surprised by his vigorous vitality, just like Xiaoqiang, who couldn't be killed, but looking at his appearance, it seemed that he should have jumped down before the carriage hit the gate.
"What a vicious person, he didn't remind me at such a critical moment, and when he saw that I wasn't dead, he wanted to take me hostage." Summer Night's dislike for Chai Laosan is really coming to the extreme.
"Chai Laosan, let the people go." At this time, the third prince rushed to the front with Lu Sihai, but they were still a step late, and Xia Ye had already been controlled by Chai Laosan.
"Third Highness, it's okay to release people, just give me the whole jade screen. Otherwise, I'll cut her throat. Of course, Chai Laosan also knew the identity of Xia Ye at this time, and understood the importance of this nightless princess, according to his greedy nature, how could he let go of the opportunity to sit on the ground and raise the price. As he spoke, his other hand, like an eagle's claw, had already pressed against the throat of the summer night.
"Wait!" The third prince hurriedly drank him, and his face suddenly became a little ugly, and he could see that he was very entangled.
Xia Ye looked at him embarrassed, but a trace of sweetness surged in his heart, and he thought: It turns out that in his heart, I am as important as a treasure.
At this time, Xia Ye saw Lu Sihai behind the third prince quietly raising the jade flute.
"Don't move, I know there is a secret ...... in your flute" Chai Laosan didn't finish speaking, and suddenly screamed in pain and let go of Xia Ye's neck.
Before Xia Ye understood what was going on, the figure in front of him flickered, and the third prince had already split it with a folding fan in his hand, trying to separate Xia Ye and Chai Laosan, Lu Sihai followed closely behind, and came over to pull her away.
However, Chai Laosan is not a vegetarian either, so he saw that he suddenly raised an arm, and Xia Ye exclaimed when he saw this: "Be careful, it's poisonous!" ”
The two princes couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly retreated, and the Zhuang Ding behind them wanted to rush up, but they were stopped by the three princes.
"Hehe, if you want to try my Bone Erosion, come on." Chai Laosan threatened proudly, but he withdrew his hand, grabbed Xia Ye and ran to the gate, a good red lacquered wooden door, was knocked out of a big hole by the carriage, Chai Laosan pushed Xia Ye out first, and he followed closely behind.
Chai Laosan dragged the summer night and ran in the night, while reaching out to pull out the flying knife inserted in the back of his hand, and muttered hatefully: "Hmph, a prince actually hurt people with a secret arrow, phew!" ”
Xia Ye laughed in his heart, thinking: It's not much better for you to hurt people with poison.
However, when I thought of his ruthlessness with poison and the cold-bloodedness of his people, I couldn't help but worry about myself.
"Where are you taking me? You let go of me! "The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and I began to try to struggle.
"Shut up, and if you make any more trouble, I'll let you taste 'Bone Erosion'." Chai Laosan raised his arm to her as he spoke.
Xia Ye thought of the beggars in the broken temple who were corroded into piles of white bones, and was suddenly so frightened that she didn't dare to speak anymore, and reluctantly let Chai Laosan lead her away.
I don't know how long I walked, suddenly there was a noisy human voice faintly in my ears, and I couldn't help but turn around on a summer night, and saw the fire swaying not far behind me, and it seemed that many people were rushing to this side.
"It must be the third prince who brought someone to catch up." Xia Ye was secretly happy in her heart, and she couldn't help but deliberately slow down, thinking about dragging Chai Laosan down.
Chai Laosan also found the abnormality behind him at this time, he looked at Xia Ye with vicious eyes, and seemed to understand that she was secretly making her heart, and suddenly reached out and waved it on her face, Xia Ye smelled a strange fragrance in his nose, and then there was a dizziness, and he didn't know anything.
……
When she woke up on a summer night, it was already dawn, and she found herself sitting in an alley with the back door of a house behind her. She looked around blankly, not knowing where this was, and Chai Laosan was nowhere to be seen. At this moment, the back door was suddenly opened with an 'ah', and out came a person dressed as a rough girl, carrying a bamboo basket in her hand, and when she looked down and saw Xia Ye sitting at the door, she screamed and almost fell into the door, but when she saw that Xia Ye was a woman, she immediately stabilized her mind, closed the door and came to greet her.
"Girl, are you alright?"
"This sister, I am a girl in the Three Princes' Mansion, I was kidnapped here by bad people and lost my way, can you take me to the Three Princes' Mansion?" Xia Ye casually made up a reason, but the heart of going to the third prince was true, because she had already determined that he was An Hao, and he was the silver-faced man who rescued him several times. Not to mention that An Hao is the boy she willingly gave her first kiss, in this life, his kindness to save her has made the love in her heart deeper and deeper. She wanted to marry him, not to mention, the third prince Yuan Chang'an was destined to marry, and it was her, the princess, who was like a fake. If Chai Laosan hadn't kidnapped her last night, she would have told him her heart a long time ago.
"Girl, don't worry, I'm about to go to the street to buy some female red, I can bring you to the door of the Third Prince's Mansion." This girl is a kind-hearted person, and while kindly comforting the summer night, she is picked up at the same time.
She took Xia Ye out of the back alley, came to the street, and took her to a high mansion with all her heart, and Xia Ye saw two carriage-like open red lacquer gates, standing a new plaque, with three big characters 'Min Wangfu'.
"Hey, are you in the wrong place? No, this is obviously the mansion of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, how did it become the Mansion of King Min. "How did the girl know this, and kept chattering her head.
Xia Ye was sure that she had found the right place, so she thanked the girl who led the way, and she recognized it at this point, and sent her to run errands.
When she really arrived at King Min's mansion, Xia Ye was a little hesitant, she lingered outside the gate for a while, and then she mustered up the courage to climb the stairs and knock on the door. Unexpectedly, as soon as her hand touched the head of the shop, the door slowly opened in front of her. A housekeeper-like person happened to meet her, and after a slight stunned moment, he asked, "Who is the girl looking for?" ”
Xia Ye said: "I came to ask to see the prince." ”
The housekeeper said: "The prince is not in the house at this time, but he is about to return to the court, can the girl have a prayer?" ”
Summer Night shook her head.
"Girl, I can't receive you right now. Besides, you didn't pay a visit, I can't make the decision to let you enter the house, wronged you to wait outside the house, and when my prince returns to the house, you will come and ask to see you again. After speaking, the housekeeper opened the door of the house, and many people dressed as family members came out one after another, and they all wore a red scarf around their waists, which was very festive.
"You hang up the lanterns, you prepare the firecrackers, you ......" The butler had no time to take care of the summer night at this time, and was busy instructing his subordinates to do things.
Summer Night was squeezed down the steps, and slowly walked to the side, watching the family climb
After a while, a group of musicians sat at the door, dressed in new dresses, and fiddled with their instruments from time to time. Then, on a summer night, I saw several tables come out of it, lined up at the door, and carefully spread it with a whole sheet of big red satin, followed by several girls carrying boxes the size of dressing boxes, and placing them on the table in turn......
Slowly, a group of people gathered at the door of King Min's mansion to watch the excitement, people whispered, discussed, I don't know what this is going to do, but there will always be well-informed people who will answer questions and solve doubts in advance: "Don't you know, on the day of the wedding of the three princes, the emperor has issued a holy decree to crown His Royal Highness as King Min, and today is officially the dynasty to confer the medal, so the palace is full of lights, this is to celebrate greatly, maybe there will be some colorful heads, and the people will have fun." ”
"In that case, let's not leave." An onlooker said with some excitement.
"Exactly, exactly." Others also responded.
Everyone gathered around the gate of King Min's mansion with firm confidence, looking forward to the prince's next court, and finally, they heard the sound of gongs and drums from the street ahead, and a small man rushed to the steps and shouted to the housekeeper-like person: "Steward Tong, the prince is still in court." ”
"Set off firecrackers! Drumming! ”
For a while, the drums sounded in unison, and the firecrackers were noisy.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the prince's horse is coming." The family in the house stepped forward to pull out a passage for the crowd, and after a while, he saw Min Wang Yuan Chang'an riding a high-headed white horse, and slowly walked towards this side with a high spirit.
Summer night crowded in the crowd, seeing that he was radiant, heroic, and even more handsome and chic than before, in a trance, I felt that he was riding a white horse, and he came to greet her.
However, his gaze seemed to be sprinkled on everyone like rain and dew, but in fact, it was a dragonfly dotting water, gently skimming without stopping.
When he got off his horse at the gate of the house, his men immediately led the horse away, and then out of the gate came a beautiful woman in full costume, with a thousand manners, which made people look up. She looked at King Min's eyes full of adoration, and her smile seemed to melt ice and snow, she stretched out her slender hand to King Min, and King Min strode forward, took her little hand in his own, and carried her behind the long table.
The crowd sighed with envy, but Xia Ye saw that his eyes were uncomfortably hot, and he thought unconvinced: "All this originally belonged to me." ”
"Please Lord Min, princess, for the people of the capital to distribute blessing bags, each blessing bag will have a penny of silver, although the money is not much, but the prince and the people are happy, sharing the emperor's grace." The butler's voice was very loud, and it seemed that he should sit in this position.
"Sure enough, this woman is Zhong Miaorong who is with me and kisses, hmph, where does she look similar to me." Summer Night thought sourly.
At this time, the princess had opened several small boxes in front of her one by one, which were full of lucky bags.
The people shouted: "Chitose Wangye!" Thank you, Princess. Jubilant, scrambling to gather around the long table, Xia Ye was very melancholy in his heart at this time, so he didn't want to join in the excitement, thinking: Who rarely sees you show affection, Zhong Miaorong, you can't take away what should be mine, let you be happy for a while.
More and more people gathered, and people who learned the news came from all directions, and there were people of all shapes.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and out of nowhere came a few tall and well-dressed men, who relied on their physical advantages to squeeze the crowd into pieces, and almost all the seats in the front row were occupied by them. But what's even more infuriating is that they don't seem to want the lucky bag, but are laughing and playing, talking nonsense, no matter how you look at it, it looks like they are deliberately looking for trouble. The princess was frightened and hid behind King Min.
King Min saw that these people had bad intentions, so he stood up and said loudly: "Come on, please go to the mansion for a cup of tea first." Of course, he didn't really want to invite them to tea, but to take these troublemakers away first.
However, since these people are deliberately trying to make trouble, how can they arrange it according to you, they began to shout that King Min was hypocritical and deliberately made things difficult for them, and as they spoke, someone suddenly picked up the small box on the table and scattered the blessing bags inside to the crowd behind them like scattered flowers. Suddenly, everyone went to grab the lucky bag, and the scene was a little out of control.
King Min also did not expect that in the capital of Wei State, under the emperor's nose, he would do things in King Min's mansion, and someone would dare to dare not give face. He shouted angrily in his heart: "Come, take down these thieves." ”
Immediately, some of the family members attacked them with sticks and attacked them violently, but these big men didn't pay attention to them at all, as if they were playing, and they went around with the family members.
King Min couldn't guess the intention of these people, and watched their fight intently, when suddenly there was an exclamation from the princess behind him, and when he turned around, he found that the princess was caught by several other big men who came out of nowhere, and the first person was as tall as an iron tower, and he carried the princess on his shoulders like a child.
"Put down the princess!" King Min was anxious but didn't dare to move, for fear that they would hurt the princess, and suddenly understood in his heart that those who deliberately made trouble were actually attracting their attention, and their real purpose was the princess.
"Hmph, don't worry, we won't hurt the princess, just borrow her."
"What do you want?"
"If you want the princess to be safe, after two hours, send five hundred taels of gold to the Luoma Pavilion outside the city, the brothers only ask for money, as long as the gold is in hand, the princess will naturally be unscathed and will be returned."
King Min said with a cold face for a long time: "A word is a certainty." ”
The man of the iron tower looked up to the sky and laughed a few times and said, "Don't follow, if I find out, the princess will die." After speaking, he suddenly turned around, and Xia Ye couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it: It's him! It turned out that this man was the boss of the Exotic who had an argument with Xuan Qing in the tavern that day.
The people of King Min's Mansion were unwilling to want to stop them, and the men of the Iron Tower immediately rushed up, and King Min snorted: "Let them go." "They had to make a fool of themselves.
So these big men swaggered towards the north gate, and their attitude was arrogant, which made people hate it.
Xia Ye thought to herself: These foreigners are really bold, they dare to go to the capital of Wei to rob the prince's concubine.
