Ye Yiqing felt flustered for the first time, knowing that Zhaoyang was taken away by a kidnapper, he had a strong urge to kill someone.
He immediately asked someone to find Cao Yu, "Even if we turn over the entire royal capital, we must find Zhaoyang."
"It's impossible for those kidnappers to bring people back to the city. Cao Yu, you lead people to search outside the city. I'll go to the port to have a look." Ye Yiqing said in a deep voice.
For so long, no one has found out how the kidnappers took people away. It must not be the official way. The official way will be patrolled occasionally. They will not take such a big risk. If you guessed right, it should be waterway.
Ye Yiqing ordered people to block the port, and all the ships could not leave. He took people to look for them one by one.
It was almost dark and no one was found, and there was no news from Cao Yu.
Could it be that Zhaoyang has been sent away from the royal capital
"Teacher, I've searched almost all of Wangducheng, I'm afraid it's..." Cao Yu looked at the worried Ye Yiqing, not daring to say that Princess Zhaoyang had been sent away.
He had never seen the teacher so worried about a woman.
Ye Yiqing said in a deep voice, "It's impossible to leave the capital city so soon. If you haven't found it after searching, it must be at the port. Search all the ships carefully again."
Cao Yu wanted to say that this place has been checked, and if someone is there, it is impossible not to find it.
Ye Yiqing stood at the highest place, and before night fell, he could vaguely see a cargo ship floating in the river not far away, because it was far away and not connected to other ships.
"Go over there and have a look." Ye Yiqing said.
"Teacher, that has already been checked by someone, and nothing abnormal was found." Cao Yu said.
Ye Yiqing still insisted on going to check by himself.
The ship was loaded with coarse grain, and there were more than a dozen bags of grain on it, and the warehouse was also full of sacks, and there was no one there.
"Teacher, there is no one in the boat." Cao Yu said in a low voice.
Ye Yiqing stood still in the cabin, pointed to the place where the sacks were piled up and said, "Move these away."
Cao Yu glanced at him and immediately sent someone to come and move him away.
There is also a small door behind those cargo.
Ye Yiqing immediately kicked the door open.
Behind the door is a hidden cabin, which should be used as a lifeboat. There are several unconscious women locked in it now. Ye Yiqing saw Zhaoyang who was unconscious and collapsed in the innermost at a glance.
"Zhaoyang..." Ye Yiqing was startled, and strode over to hug Zhaoyang.
"Teacher, these are... all women who were kidnapped these days." Cao Yu said in shock.
Ye Yiqing glanced at Zhaoyang in his arms, "Take everyone away, no matter what, we must find those kidnappers."
Cao Yu answered in a deep voice.
Find those kidnappers... and cut them to death!
Ye Yiqing left with Zhaoyang in his arms, and when he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was completely dark. He asked someone to invite Wang Yizheng with his name card. What he was most worried about was that Zhaoyang would be... irreparably hurt.
Doctor Wang thought it was because of Ye Yiqing's injury, so he rushed over quickly, only to realize that it was because of a woman.
"Master Ye, this girl was just drugged and she should wake up soon." Doctor Wang said to Ye Yiqing.
Only then did Ye Yiqing breathe a sigh of relief, and he signaled that Doctor Wang was going outside to talk, and asked Fangzhen to give them a careful examination by the princess.
"This is an old friend of mine." Ye Yiqing explained to Wang Yizheng in a low voice.
Doctor Wang said with a smile, "It seems that this old man is very important to you."
Ye Yiqing smiled lightly and sent Wang Yizheng away.
Standing under the eaves, Ye Yiqing stared at the moon in the sky with serious eyes, he didn't know how to face Zhaoyang, such a girl he liked, he couldn't forcefully reject her.
"Master, Princess Zhaoyang is awake." Hong Ling walked over and whispered to Ye Yiqing.
Ye Yiqing nodded slightly.
"The princess wants to see you." Hong Ling said.
"See me?" Ye Yiqing was taken aback for a moment, looked at the sky, it was already so late, wouldn't she be afraid of causing gossip when she saw him at this hour
Ye Yiqing hesitated for a while before deciding to see Zhaoyang.
Zhaoyang did not suffer other injuries, except for being beaten a few times when she was struggling, she had no other wounds on her body, at least her innocence was still there.
After she learned that she was rescued by Ye Yiqing, a spark of anticipation ignited involuntarily in her heart.
Ye Yiqing walked in slowly from the outside, looked up and saw her standing by the window in a moon-white dress, he didn't know if it was an illusion, he felt that she looked weaker than usual at this moment, making her One can't help wanting to pity and cherish her.
"Master Zhaoyang, are you alright?" Ye Yiqing stood by the door without going any further.
"I'm fine." Zhaoyang nodded, her eyes fell on his handsome face, she smiled slightly, "Master Ye, thank you for saving your life."
Ye Yiqing smiled, "It's nothing, the imperial court was already cracking down on those kidnappers..."
The smile on Zhaoyang's face changed slightly, "So, is Master Ye saying that saving me is just a matter of effort?"
"It's not... Zhaoyang, don't get me wrong." Ye Yiqing said hastily.
"What could I have misunderstood?" Zhaoyang stared straight at him, "Master Ye, are you afraid that I will stalk you? Don't worry, I still have this bit of self-esteem."
Ye Yiqing sighed helplessly, "Zhaoyang, I didn't mean that, I watched you grow up, you are upright and youthful, and I have entered middle age, you are still young, you have never experienced a real deep love, in the future You will regret this."
Zhaoyang looked at him with red eyes, "Aren't you unforgettable enough for me? If I can forget, how can I still remember it for ten years?"
"What exactly do you like about me?" This is what Ye Yiqing thinks about the most. He really doesn't know how she fell in love with him back then.
"How do I know..." Zhaoyang smiled wryly. He was as handsome as a banished fairy at that time, and he always spoke softly to her, and his every frown and smile made her heart flutter, even though he already had a family at that time, and even his The daughter is still her classmate, but she just couldn't restrain herself. If it wasn't for wanting to forget him, or cutting off the heartbeat that shouldn't be there, how could she have listened to her stepmother's persuasion and obeyed the late emperor's bestowal of marriage to go to Beijing? What about the kingdom of the underworld
Ye Yiqing said in a low voice, "You stay here first, don't leave rashly."
Seeing that he refused to face her feelings at all, Zhaoyang came to him angrily, "Aren't you afraid of causing gossip if you let me stay here?"
"You are Yaoyao's friend, what gossip will you have?" Ye Yiqing smiled.
"Because I want to get close to you!" After Zhaoyang said this, he tiptoed to kiss his lips.
