Chapter 45: Cutting off the wings
Groups of officers and soldiers armed with torches turned Yishan upside down, but they didn't find any trace of He Yue.
In the humble room, Ning Rusong's cold eyes looked at the open window and the table below with footsteps.
"Escaped?" Ning Rusong's voice was as cold as frost, making people feel creepy.
It seems that He Yue is fine, but he is nowhere to be found.
He stretched out his slender hand, bent down slightly to pick up a plum blossom-shaped hairpin from the ground, and then looked at the woman's skirt and shoes on the ground, and his voice became more and more cold and treacherous, "I still escaped in disguise, but I was clever." ”
This statement does not feel like a pure compliment.
Guard Zhang knelt on the ground and told the truth the news he had discovered, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, I have already tortured and questioned the group of robbers, it should be a man named Xiaohu who helped the Crown Princess escape." ”
Zhang Guard swallowed a mouthful of saliva, even if he didn't look up, he could feel the prince's momentum as if it had been quenched with ice, and he couldn't help but sweat a little, "The road to the bottom of the mountain has been blocked by his subordinates, but there are new walking traces on a small road behind the mountain, and there is no trace of the crown princess along the way." ”
His voice trembled, and he lowered his body, "The crown princess should not be in the mountains anymore." ”
"Bang dang!"
Ning Rusong casually threw the hairpin in his hand to the ground, raising some dust.
After a long time, Guard Zhang heard the prince's indifferent voice, "Keep looking!" Where can she run, and hide for a few days? ”
He Yue has always hidden the thought of wanting to slip away, this time is a great opportunity on the bright side, Ning Rusong thinks that He Yue will naturally not let it go.
He looked out the window, his posture was tall, and his jade and golden-faced face was gloomy, which made people feel chilled to the bone.
Ning Rusong rarely regretted some things in his life, and there were two things he regretted in the past few years, the first was to let He Yue leave in Feng Mansion, and then she married a blacksmith, but it was harmless, he still took her to the East Palace, this is a simple matter, just use the power to press it lightly, and then use the blacksmith's insignificant life to threaten a little.
The second thing was to let He Yue go out of the palace to see the ridiculous wedding the day before yesterday, and then she was robbed, and then she ran away with a robber named Xiaohu, which seems to be an elopement, tsk, not keeping women's morals.
These two things have an extremely unified commonality, and they also give Ning Rusong a warning, this time to find He Yue back, you have to look firmly, she is an ambitious person, as long as she is given some opportunities, she can flutter her wings and fly out, he has to cut her wings and tails, and it won't hurt her anyway.
…………
After He Yue and Xiaohu escaped from Yishan, they hid themselves and Xiaohu in a remote village without stopping, which is almost the most isolated place in Cloud City.
He Yue knew that he was resolutely unable to leave the city now, and the city gate must be guarded at various levels, so he had to take his time.
The two rented a dilapidated house in the village, and after a night's drive, the wound on her left foot burst open again.
There was no stool of the right height, so Xiaohu simply knelt on the ground to treat He Yue's wounds, and fortunately, the wound medicine and everything were put in the package.
He Yue's left foot was lightly grasped by Xiaohu, and his delicate face rarely brought some seriousness, "Madam, let's rest in this village in the past few days, and then hurry in a few days, otherwise your ankles won't be able to stand it." ”
The wound on his left ankle was terrifying, He Yue glanced down at his foot, but his face was calm, and his voice was relaxed, "Yes, listen to you." ”
Xiaohu lowered his head silently again, dealing with He Yue's wounds.
Mrs. always talks like this, saying that she trusts him, says that she listens to him, and says that we, the young man's mind is shallow, and it is very easy to be aroused by charming thoughts, but he has always been timid, and he knows that he is not worthy of Mrs., so he presses it all in his heart, and Xiaohu himself knows this feeling.
After a while, Xiaohu put He Yue's feet down, and closed the windows in the house tightly, the light seemed to be pressed outside, and his voice was dull, "Madame, let's sleep for a while, and I've been on the road all night." ”
There was only one sleeping room in the dilapidated house, and he had made a bunk in the outer aisle of the dormitory, and his heart was still beating fast as he lay on it.
The quilt was a little old, but He Yue slept peacefully, his body was very tired, and his mind was very soothing.
In fact, she also knew Ning Rusong's temperament, if she disappeared, those palace maids and guards who served with her would definitely be punished.
But she thinks she is a selfish villain, she doesn't have a high-spirited character, she can't sacrifice herself, it's not easy for a person to take care of herself, there is no need to put others on her shoulders, why bother.
Now it is exactly three days before He Yue is robbed, and Xiao Guanzi in Baifu has to obey the prince's order before leaving.
Xiao Guanzi's face was soft, he sat on the chair, his face was haggard, he rubbed his eyebrows, and his voice was shrill and thin, "Don't complain about our family, no one can do anything about this." ”
He waved his hand, "Let's go to execution!" ”
The guards obeyed the order, and quickly pressed the kneeling people in the main hall to the ground, facing up, and firmly imprisoned their legs.
Another guard was holding a long steel whip, and there were still brown blood stains on it, and the little peach and little pear were shaking like chaff, and they wept bitterly, "Don't! Don't! ”
The pain that deeply shattered the kneecaps, just thinking about it would make them almost crazy, why haven't you come back yet, Crown Princess?!
Bai Huixian and Xia Suling, one was seriously injured and the other was weak, they were powerless to struggle at this time, and they couldn't even speak.
As for Li Xiaoshu, she went back to her house early, not daring to watch the scene of the execution, her inner thoughts were in a mess, she gritted her teeth, her eyes were red, if Bai Huixian was useless, what was the point of her being a white lady! It's just a joke!
Why hasn't He Yue been found yet, and she is not uncommon for He Yue to come to her wedding, isn't it good to stay in the East Palace honestly, I want to make trouble!
The execution guard swung the first whip, and the sound of breaking through the air seemed to tear everything apart.
"Ahh
"Help!"
Little Peach and Little Pear screamed in pain and struggled, but it was useless, and Bai Huixian and Xia Suling had already fallen into a coma after the first whip fell.
"Stop!" Xiao Guanzi waved his hand and ordered, "Splash the two of them with water to wake them up before they are executed." ”
"Wow!" Two basins of cold water were poured on Bai Huixian and Xia Suling like this, barely making them open their eyes.
The taste of the steel whip was unpleasant, and as soon as the whip fell, it almost shattered the kneecaps and rotted flesh and blood.
