Chapter 116: Gone
When he received the letter, Ning Ze was extremely excited, because Qi Shu would take the initiative to write a letter to him, not bad, the son can be taught, and the obedient Qi Shu is the most comfortable for him. Although before leaving Shaoliang, he coerced and enticed Qi Shu to write to him.
But according to Qi Shu's temperament, it's really not necessarily. This woman just doesn't eat hard and soft, and she must grasp that degree before she can be successfully taken down, this is the truth that Ning Ze summed up after dealing with Qi Shu for a long time.
It is still being tested.
On the fifth day of Qi Shu's departure, according to calculations, the letter should have been written two days ago, after all, the letter is slow, and the carriage and horses are also slow. I don't know how she was doing there, if she misses him as much as he misses her.
The letter was hidden on his chest for a whole day, and he wanted to read it, but he was reluctant to read it. Guessing what Qi Shu would write to him, I can't guess it, I guess maybe he has arrived in Jiangnan to report safety, or maybe she misses him too?
Ning Ze didn't dare to think about the latter point, but sometimes he would secretly think about it, what if? What if?!
After patiently enduring and dealing with all the official business at hand, Ning Ze decided to take advantage of the fact that no one was there to secretly take a look at the letter that Qi Shu wrote to him. It's like having a little secret, afraid that others will peep at the sweetness that you enjoy.
Of course, it is definitely not okay for a person to secretly look at it like this, it must be fully prepared, and treat this letter like a grand ceremony, this is the first peace letter that Qi Shu wrote to him.
Ning Ze first went to take a bath, wash his hands, and smeared the incense carefully, and then returned to the room and extinguished the bright candles that were burning several times, making the light in the room not so bright, so that Qi Shu's letter was seen in a somewhat charming atmosphere.
That's not enough.
Ning Ze expected that after doing all this, should he take another pot of bamboo leaf green, and then pour a cup and put it on the table, reading the letter when he was slightly drunk, the burning heat in his chest seemed to be the feeling when he was facing Qi Shu.
"Guanghan Wang Qinqi" The five big characters on the envelope are regular, well, it is her handwriting, and there is no counterfeiting, Ning Ze has secretly imitated Qi Shu's words many times, so let it be decided that he will not admit it.
"I arrived in Jiangnan on the 29th of this month, safe and sound, and there is no need to worry. At the request of the prince, write a letter of peace, this is it, if you want to ask what you encounter on the way, there is no other special ear, this is the only one, and let me tell you in detail......"
After Ning Ze read all the letters, his face suddenly sank, what happened to this person? It's obviously a letter to him, why is there an old man who sells tea throughout the article? Can that old man be as young as he is? Can he be handsome and talented? How do you think about it, should you think about what he is doing, whether he has good food and water, whether he is tired and sick, or at least he should care about him?
Even if she doesn't write about him, she should write more about herself, how come she is a person who has nothing to do with the two of them? How could this peace letter be written like Qi Shu? No, he'll have to teach her how to write letters again next time.
Don't read what to write at the end of the letter!
How could he not miss her, alone and without him by his side, what should she do if something happened to her? As long as he thought that she might be in danger, Ning Ze hated to hold her to his side and watch her firmly.
When she came back from Jiangnan, Ning Ze secretly swore that it would be impossible for Qi Shu to escape from his sight no matter what.
Alas, I feel that I have worked so hard to prepare, that is, I am ready to read Qi Shu's letter in a beautiful mood, but I didn't expect it to be such a content, and I feel more or less disappointed.
Stretched out his hand to lift the bamboo leaf green on the table, then drank the wine, prepared to rest on the bed, and prepared to put the letter in its original envelope intact.
But in the process of operation, my hand also accidentally touched the envelope, and I felt that there was something thin and slightly hard.
Ning Ze was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly turned the envelope upside down, and then shook it carefully and gently, and a few inches long and slightly square fell out. It is a silver leaf, and the veins of the leaf are hollowed out, and the workmanship is very exquisite.
Blade? What to do with the blades sent to him? He had no shortage of silver ornaments, and it seemed to be of some use.
Ask Fuda!
So Ning Ze didn't bother, and went directly to Fuda with this silver leaf, it was already dark at this hour, but it didn't affect Ning Ze's determination to find Fuda at all.
The housekeeper Fuda had already developed the habit of standing guard at any time and resting at what hour, so Fuda was already asleep when Ning Ze looked for him.
In the middle of the night, if someone comes up to you with a silver leaf and picks you up, do you think that this person is trying to kill for money? That's right, that's what Fuda thinks.
Fuda, who was not lightly frightened, put on the clothes on his body vaguely, which was actually a coat.
His own prince is good at everything, but he is easy to be confused in the matter of feelings, and he often can't find the north in confusion, so he has to ask him then.
There is a way that outsiders can see, so every time Fuda looks at Ning Ze like a headless fly, he always has to tell Ning Ze more, just in case he gets dizzy and does something irrational.
However, this does not mean that Ning Ze came to ask him and ran to his house in the middle of the night with a silver bookmark to scare him.
"Lord Wang, can't you even see this as a bookmark? Why don't you try it with a tassel hanging on it? See if you still recognize it? ”
Fuda was really impatient to be disturbed from sleeping, but he had to send his prince away, otherwise with his dedication to Qi Shu, this gift would be enough to make him lose sleep for several days.
"So? Bookmark? Okay, why did she send me a bookmark? Ning Ze felt a little inexplicable.
"It may be to remind the prince to read more books and be less nosy." Fuda yawned and said, really sleepy and couldn't open his eyelids.
"......" Looking at Fuda like this, Ning Ze knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he had to quietly exit Fuda's house with his head stuffy, and turned around and went back to his room.
But he was still calculating in his heart, why did Qi Shu send him a bookmark, did it mean any special meaning?
In fact, Fuda recognizes this bookmark, but in fact, it is some small things that are often sold on the streets of Jiangnan Town, it is estimated that Qi Shu went shopping and brought it back and stuffed it in, it is impossible to deliberately give it to the prince, and this stuff cannot be Qi Shu's deliberate stuffing, you must know that this thing is not worth much money, and the things given to the prince, no matter what, Qi Shu should be prepared to be slightly more expensive.
But he didn't say anything, he still wanted to get a good night's sleep, and he would wait until tomorrow morning to talk about it slowly.
Sure enough, Ning Ze cherished this bookmark very much after getting it, and listened to Fuda's words to hang tassels on this silver leaf. But he didn't find a suitable spike for a while, and Ning Ze couldn't go around and around, so he had to go to bed obediently.
After such a toss, the strength of the wine has almost dissipated, sleepiness hits, and I can't help but feel a little drowsy, I can't hold it anymore, let's talk about it tomorrow.
But when he slept until dawn in the second half of the night, a figure suddenly came out of the outside and dragged Ning Ze, who was still asleep, up.
It's Ning San.
Ning Ze, who was sleeping a little dazed, woke up instantly after seeing that it was Ning San, and Ning San's coming over meant that something had happened to Qi Shu. After hurriedly getting dressed, Ning Ze sat down at the table, and anxiously asked Ning San what happened, why did he come to him at this time?
Ning San looked at Ning Ze and stopped talking.
Ning Ze's expression instantly became cold, and he said in a tone without the slightest emotion: "Say." ”
"Miss is gone."
"What?"
"Isn't Qi Shu at her Jiangnan mother-in-law's house? Why is it gone? Ning Ze frowned and asked, he has been closely monitoring Ji Xue recently, and he hasn't seen any movements from her secretly, not to mention that this mother-in-law has already agreed before?
"Lord Wang, at the beginning, Miss entered her mother-in-law's house, everything was fine, but I don't know why, after two days, Miss didn't come out of the room again, and I didn't see anyone enter, and all the people brought by Miss disappeared mysteriously."
"What?!"
"Ning Er and Ning Si sent me back to report, but I received a message from them halfway through, saying that Miss was missing, and I asked you to quickly go and save Miss in danger."
Ning Ze pondered for a moment, knowing that he couldn't delay it at this time, so he hurriedly discussed it with Ning San, and rushed to Jiangnan to find Qi Shu in the starry night, hoping that everything would be in time.
When he pulled out the young horse, Ning Ze had another plan, recruited a servant to find a pen and paper, and wrote a county order to Jiangnan on the grounds of arresting the suspect, asking him to immediately surround the mother-in-law's mansion where Qi Shu was, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, so it was said that he was arresting a felon.
He is still to blame for his negligence in this matter!
When Qi Shu told him that she was going to Jiangnan, Ning Zesu had already investigated, but because it was Qi Shu's relative, the family had not been cleaned, just a simple check, a rich businessman, a family that moved from Tongzhou to Jiangnan, and that's it.
Who would have thought that there was such deep water in here? I hope Qi Shu is safe and sound.
Qi Shu doesn't know anything yet, but it's okay to be safe for the time being.
She was locked up.
She didn't know who it was, but suddenly one day she was being fished out of bed when she was still sleeping, and then tied up and brought to a strange environment.
The surroundings are scaryly quiet, but there is the occasional sound of water droplets. Footsteps can be heard twice a day, and every day there is always a cold pair of hands breaking open her chin to feed her, similar to the kind of steamed dandruff, which does not swish off and break.
It's just that the clothes on his body are still rotting day by day, emitting an unpleasant smell, and the humid air around him also aggravates the corrosion of this kind of person, which makes Qi Shu feel extremely uncomfortable.
Afraid?
Afraid, that kind of panic is so scared that it seems to be suffocated, suppressing the breathing, suppressing the heartbeat, and suppressing the brain's thinking. The whole person was in front of him, and the dark sky was spinning.
Who has bound me, where am I, and who can save me? This is a question that Qi Shu thinks about every day. When he was just locked up, Qi Shu jumped and screamed, but in this very strange place, there was not even an echo, there was no sound at all, it was extremely terrifying, and the cold horror was as deep as drilling into the cracks of the bones.
She didn't dare to cry, if she did, her emotions would be like a big hole in her baggage, so that it was difficult to control it, to keep her composure, and to look for an opportunity to escape.
Qi Shu knew very well that she must have been hidden in a place, this place was extremely hidden, but she was blindfolded, she couldn't feel the passage of time, she didn't know how long it had passed, just an endless long wait. She didn't want to sit still, she wanted to get out.
But whenever she tried to talk to the person who fed her, they were already feeding her as fast as they could, and then immediately left.
If Qi Shu ignores it, the other party seems to be much more relaxed, unhurried and methodical in repeating daily things.
Qi Shu felt that if she disappeared like this, someone would definitely come to look for her, as long as she waited patiently, she would definitely be able to wait, at least Ning Ze would definitely come to her.
Ning Ze must have come to her.
