Chapter 181: Tied up
"Well, you're right anyway. Since you don't want to say anything, the princess doesn't ask. Princess Ben was tired and wanted to go back to rest, so she asked Madame to send Princess Ben back. ”
Rolling her eyes in disgust, Shen Qingdai knew that she couldn't ask anything, so she didn't ask any more and asked Ye Qingtang to send her back.
Originally, everything was very smooth before leaving the palace. But not long after the two of them left the palace, Ye Qingtang just wanted to send people to the carriage, when several uninvited guests suddenly appeared and tied up both of them.
The two of them only felt that the world was spinning, and then their eyes went dark, and when they woke up, they found that they had been locked in the firewood room.
It was pitch black all around, and there was no one else except for the two of them. Ye Qingtang frowned and looked at the situation in front of him, and immediately moved to Shen Qingdai's side, trying hard to wake people up.
With Ye Qingtang's unremitting efforts, Shen Qingdai also woke up slowly. After seeing the scene in front of her, she didn't seem to be surprised, but sighed helplessly, and her tone was full of complaints.
"I told you all about what happened in the first place. If I had known that there was such a stubble, I would never have followed you out of the palace. ”
"What's the use of telling you? Even if you know, you have to leave the palace with me honestly. Even if you want to marry the emperor in the future, it doesn't matter if you want to be a concubine or an empress. None of us can break the rules before that. ”
Ye Qingtang had a look of wanting to cry without tears, she also guessed that it would be such a scene, so she wanted to wait for Sima Changying to leave together.
But there is this rule in the palace, even if she has to abide by it, even if Shen Qingdai is noble, she can't break their rules.
"What kind of rule is this? When the door closes, you still have such a big banquet, I really don't know what you think! Shen Qingdai didn't expect that there was such a reason, and immediately rolled her eyes in disgust.
"You think I want to? For today's banquet, I have been busy day and night for a month. Seeing that there was no fork at all at the end, I was tied up as soon as I got out of the palace, and I was about to cry to death, okay? ”
As soon as he said this, Ye Qingtang's anger came up. Originally, I thought that I would finally be able to go home and rest, but now that I am fine, life and death are unpredictable, and there is a princess of Xia Kingdom tied to her.
If it weren't for Ye Qingtang's dislike that he hadn't lived enough, he might have committed suicide directly by hitting the wall in anger.
Sure enough, the general's wife is not so easy to be.
But what Ye Qingtang didn't know was that the reason why she was busy was not her identity, but her ability.
For example, tonight's banquet was so luxurious, but Ye Qingtang didn't spend much money. There was no obvious statement, and the people of Xia Guo could see that they attached great importance to it.
But now is not the time to talk about this, Ye Qingtang and Shen Qingdai were decadent for a while, and then immediately cheered up and found a way to untie the rope.
Fortunately, after accumulating favorability points, Ye Qingtang unlocked a small space. She carefully selected a broken tile, cut the rope that bound her, and helped Shen Qingdai loosen it together.
She cautiously walked to the door, and saw that there was no one guarding the door, and was stunned for a moment. Before she could react, she was dragged out of the firewood room by Shen Qingdai.
Although the physical strength of the two is limited, the person who tied them did not feel that they were any difficult characters. There was not a single guard along the way, and he was about to escape at the door.
The two were suddenly clamped by the back of their necks and escorted to the class in the house.
"Ye Qingtang, Princess Qingdai, long time no see!" On the high seat of the guest hall, there sat a person they knew and couldn't be more familiar.
Seeing the two of them being brought into the house, he seemed to have expected it, and smiled brightly: "It's a pity that you can't run out today."
"Qi Yun Chu? Aren't you already dead? How did you end up here? You tied us both up, did you want to avenge the Seventh Prince? ”
looked at the person in front of him in surprise, although the resurrection of the dead was too weird. But Ye Qingtang prefers to believe that this is Qiyunchu's golden cicada shelling method, and when he was in the Xia Kingdom, he didn't die at all.
"He's something, if he's dead, he's dead, and he's really not qualified for me to help him get revenge!" Qi Yunchu said with a disdainful face: "And if it weren't for me, I'm afraid it would be difficult for the third prince to win the throne, right?"
"What did you do?" Ye Qingtang's eyebrows furrowed tightly and asked him.
"You're not qualified to know." Qiyun Chu snorted coldly and didn't intend to tell her the whole process, but just smiled lightly and played with the teacup in his hand, which was particularly pleasant.
"All you need to know now is that the lives of both of you are in my hands. Whether or not I can get out alive depends on whether His Majesty can agree to my conditions. ”
Speaking of this, Qiyun Chu's smile became brighter and brighter: "I believe Your Majesty should agree to me, right?" After all, my request is not too much, and it is a good deal to be able to exchange the lives of the two of you and the two countries to live in peace. ”
"You can't take Wanbaolou back." Ye Qingtang immediately saw his purpose and ruthlessly broke his delusions: "And people like you are not qualified to enter the court as an official."
"Even you can speak freely in the court, why can't I!" This sentence hurt Qi Yunchu's injury, making him immediately fall down the cup in his hand angrily, pointing at Ye Qingtang's nose and scolding loudly.
But Ye Qingtang smiled very proudly because he guessed correctly, as if he was not worried that Qi Yunchu would do something to hurt them because of anger.
"Because you're not capable." Ye Qingtang said as a matter of course: "If you have some ability, you will not repeatedly fail in the scientific examination." It's been a lot of years, haven't you still been able to touch the door to being an official? ”
"Some people can even use money to buy a half-time job. As the richest man in the capital, you can't even do such a trivial thing? ”
Shen Qingdai saw Ye Qingtang's intentions, and immediately chuckled and agreed: "But it's very suitable for him to be a villain."
"Play dead, stab you in the back, and play tricks. It's really not something that a gentleman can do. Ye Qingtang continued.
"I think you're tired of it! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I promise to cut out your tongue! Qi Yunchu angrily grabbed Ye Qingtang's neck, and the green tendons of anger burst out, which was extremely terrifying.
But even when he made this appearance, he couldn't make the two people in the room afraid. On the contrary, he was disgusted by his threat.
