On Yuquan Mountain, King Zheng walked around anxiously with a twisted face. All the guards following Wen Wan, except for Xia Yao and Wuxing who were relatively lightly injured, others, including Wu Lou and others, were all seriously injured, and Xia Ying was missing. All those guards were also killed.
According to the confession of a captured assassin, Xia Ying jumped from a high place holding a stand-in. Their men went down to look for him, but unfortunately they couldn't find him.
King Zheng followed Wuxing¡¯s instructions and sent people to look for Xia Ying and his substitute, in order to lower the vigilance of others. Let these killers stop looking for gentleness.
Now Wu Xing finally knows that the princess may have had an idea when she ran away. But it may not mean that they are not saved. When she is not here, they can rest assured that they will not be distracted and will not be blackmailed. Only then did he reach the rescue army.
King Zheng¡¯s confidant, Luo Hengyuan, came over and said, ¡°Your Majesty, you still haven¡¯t found anything? Your Majesty, is it already midnight?¡±
There are many wild beasts on the mountain. The princess hid in any corner and did not encounter the assassin. If you encounter a wild animal, your life may be in danger.
King Zheng had a gloomy face, if something happened to Wen Wan this time. He will never let King Zhao go. If the emperor continues to be so indulgent, he will not tolerate this tone.
Thousands of people are searching on Yuquan Mountain. Bai Shinian and Zhang Yi are also helping. In fact, Bai Shinian was not looking for the princess, he was looking for a substitute to escape. When it got dark, Marquis Shenjian came to arrest him personally, trying to persuade Bai Shinian to go back.
Bai Shinian doesn¡¯t want to go back. No matter what time it is now, if you still get married, just call it quits.
Marquis Shenjian said earnestly: "Your grandmother said, if you don't go back, she will come and call you back in person. Shi Nian, just listen to your grandmother this time! The auspicious day has been chosen. It cannot be changed. This is your only one." an opportunity.¡±
Bai Shinian looked at Yuquan Mountain surrounded by torches and said, "Dad, do you think I can still get married under the current situation? If Princess Wenwan really has an emergency and our family still holds a happy event, the emperor will definitely be angry with the Bai family. Even my future There will be twists and turns.¡±
How could it be that Marquis Shenjian didn¡¯t know, but this was not what they thought after all. But his mother was looking forward to it at home: "Go back, your grandmother and I have already made plans. You don't have to worry. It won't delay your trip to the border."
I talked about it for a long time. Bai Shinian still didn't agree to return to Beijing with Marquis Shenjian. Just saying that I have to stay here today. At most, I'll rush back early tomorrow morning.
Marquis Shenjian said: "Shi Nian. I hope you will rush back to worship tomorrow. Otherwise, your grandmother will come to take you back in person."
Bai Shinian nodded and promised to go back to worship the next day. Deal with it first and then talk.
In King Zhao¡¯s Mansion, King Zhao¡¯s face was full of anger. He paid such a high price this time. But he only ended up with his life and death unknown. That girl, that girl was a monster. He didn't see the body, so he couldn't believe that the monster was dead.
When King Zhao was losing his temper in the palace. The palace people eagerly sent word that a message had arrived from the palace saying that the Concubine Xian had passed out. I want to see King Zhao.
King Zhao saw that the palace door was about to be locked and was unwilling to go. Even when I went there, I was scolded by his mother. Now he just wants that girl to die. If that girl dies, he will be fine. so. Now he couldn't hear anyone.
The visitor seemed to have anticipated King Zhao's attitude: "Your Majesty, the empress is really ill. The empress said that if you don't see her this time, you may never see her again in your life."
King Zhao stared, confirming that the news was worldly. Then he hurriedly followed him into the palace. In general, the prince is not allowed to stay overnight in the palace. Afraid of spreading any rumors. However, the situation of the virtuous concubine is special. Da Qi pays attention to governing the world with filial piety, so. No one had any reason to stop King Zhao.
But when King Zhao was at the palace gate, he found that he could not enter the palace. Reveal your identity. Not allowed either. The emperor has orders, but there are no words from him. No one can enter the palace.
King Zhao¡¯s face looked ugly. The emperor's attitude had already been shown, and he was already disgusted with him. My father was really confused by that monster. If this monster is not eliminated, he will not be able to live in peace for the rest of his life.
The mountain road was rugged, but Wen Wan walked all the way. My feet hurt terribly. Every minute is torture for Wen Wan. After walking for most of the night, amid Wen Wan's endless resentment and expectation, Wen Wan finally saw the city gate. Wen Wan thought, finally we have to finish walking, otherwise our legs will become useless.
It¡¯s a pity that he was not happy for a minute. The city gates are closed, saying martial law is in effect. The housekeeper spent a long time with them, but he still didn't get it.
Just when the housekeeper was jumping up and down, not knowing what to do. I happened to meet Marquis Shenjian coming back from Yuquan Mountain.
Wen Wan caught sight of Marquis Shenjian at a glance, and Marquis Shenjian had seen her before. Wen Wan lowered her head, hunched her body, and hid on the side where the sedan and carriage wanted to carry her. He looked extremely well-behaved. In this way, Marquis Shenjian won¡¯t be able to seeShe did. Even if he saw her, it would be impossible to pay attention to her as a maid.
Wen Wan felt extremely regretful at that time, if she had revealed her identity at that time. Perhaps with the protection of the soldiers at the city gate and Marquis Shenjian, he could return to the palace safely. But she was too cautious, which caused a lot of trouble later.
Butler Ding hurriedly went up to say hello and then explained the reason.
Marquis Shenjian noticed that someone was secretly observing him and looked around. Not finding anything, Marquis Shenjian thought it was because he was too preoccupied, so he didn't take it to heart and turned back. Negotiate with the city gatekeeper.
After about ten minutes, they were finally allowed to enter the city. Wenwan clings to the sedan, never leaving even half a step. Marquis Shenjian never saw Wen Wan from beginning to end.
When we arrived in the capital, Wen Wan wanted to take advantage of the convenient corner to escape several times. Unfortunately, because Miss Ding had escaped, she was surrounded by servants and couldn't escape. All around were officers and soldiers coming and going. As long as Wen Wan runs away or these people scream, they will definitely be caught. And these people don¡¯t know who they can trust. Wen Wan had no choice but to hold back her anxious thoughts and thought about entering the Ding family first and then follow up.
Arriving at the Ding family residence, Wen Wan looked at the plaque on the door that said Ding Mansion. After entering the house through the side door, the housekeeper didn't ask the bearer to put down the sedan chair. Carry the sedan directly to the backyard.
When Wen Wan entered the backyard, she observed secretly, guessing that this was the house that Yi San entered. Houses in the capital are very expensive, and it is difficult for ordinary petty officials to afford a house unless they are from a wealthy family.
Wenwan carefully observed the terrain in order to facilitate his escape. Wenwan remembers where to turn, where to go, and the road she walked through is familiar. It seems that the wall is not particularly high, so it should be possible to climb over.
Sanjin¡¯s house is much smaller than her own house. But the layout is similar to where he lives. Because the predecessor of her own house was also an official family.
Arriving at the back house, Miss Ding got out of the sedan chair. The butler called the two wives, who had been preparing for a long time, to follow him. Be sure to ensure the safety of the lady. In fact, it is also a disguised form of house arrest.
It sounds like Wen Wan is lucky. Because the Ding family had just arrived in the capital, one of the two maids who came with them was sold, and the other was let out by Master Ding. The two maids who have been added to this girl's side have only been here for a short time, and they have only been here for two days. He was kept in the inner courtyard for training, and he didn't move around outside. It was late at night, so he didn't notice the change of people. Otherwise, he will definitely be tied up by the butler.
Seeing Miss Ding struggling, the housekeeper said expressionlessly, "Miss, please stop making trouble. You are getting married tomorrow. Even if you run away, you won't be able to escape to the ends of the earth. It's better to obey the master's instructions and marry obediently. It will save you the pain. The pain of flesh and blood!¡±
Wen Wan was shocked. Could it be that the woman was there to cheer someone up? No, why would an ordinary official send his daughter-in-law to celebrate the wedding? If a family of officials could send their legitimate daughter to celebrate the wedding, it would be a powerful family. A powerful family should not marry such a strong woman to celebrate their wedding. That's not a celebration, but a funeral. Thinking of this woman's words, Wen Wan shuddered. This woman couldn't be thinking of letting herself marry as a substitute, then she would be too unlucky.
Ms. Ding responded angrily.
The housekeeper ignored her and ordered in a blink of an eye: "Come here, lock this old woman and this girl in the woodshed." He was so bold that he dared to take the young lady to escape from the marriage.
Ms. Ding was angry: "If you dare to lock up my nanny and separate me, I will hit my head on this pillar and die. Let's see what benefits can be gained by those who plan to sell their daughters for glory."
This is the first time Wen Wan sees such a strong girl. I have never seen anyone who is not cute and lovable. This is so fierce, this is the first time Wen Wan has seen him.
The chief butler knew that their third young lady was a fiery person, and he couldn't afford to be cruel if he did: "Okay, you follow, you two, don't let the young lady bump into each other. Take this reckless girl to the Go to the woodshed."
It¡¯s better to pick the soft persimmons.
During the escorting process, Wen Wan wanted to take the opportunity to escape. But Miss Na Ding saw that Wen Wan was not an honest person. He ordered two servants to follow him. In this way, the three of them sent Wen Wan to the woodshed. Once one moves, one of the other two will definitely scream. Her identity is unknown now, she is a maid, and she will be killed if caught. When the time comes, your death will be in vain.

Wen Wan vaguely remembered that Ding Dahai should be from King Zhao (although he was a neutral on the surface, he couldn't resist Wen Wan's two-sided intelligence source). Revealing your identity here will only lead to faster death.
Wen Wan was unwillingly locked up in the woodshed. Wenwan looked around and saw that the house was full of firewood, leaving only a place for walking. Wenwan glanced at it. Even the window is a very small one. Can't escape.
Wen Wan regrets it extremely now. If I had known better, I should have brought a dagger. Xia Yao said that going to the temple with a dagger would be disrespectful. Now bury yourself in the pit. I will never listen to their nonsense again. Especially what the emperor¡¯s grandfather said, I couldn¡¯t even listen to it. If she had brought two hundred guards with her, she wouldn't be in such a mess. He was even locked up in a woodshed. (To be continued)
