Ji Lingxue felt that today was not an auspicious day for her, so it was not easy for her to go out. Otherwise, why would she be so scared when she went out? Not to mention falling into the water, she might be kidnapped now. She was so pitiful...
No one knows who these kidnappers are. They were so patient as to lurk at the bottom of the cold lake for three hours. They must be desperate murderers.
No matter how Ji Lingxue complained and cried in her heart, she was dragged ashore, tied up like a big knot, blindfolded with a black cloth, and stuffed into a carriage.
As soon as she came out of the water and was blown by the cold wind, Ji Lingxue felt her whole body stiff and cold air was blowing.
Ji Lingxue asked tentatively: "Big... Big Brother... I'm cold..."
The carriage swayed forward, and the sound of the wheels rolling over the stones was particularly loud. Ji Lingxue's words were covered by the sound of wheels and horse hooves. She sighed and raised her voice to repeat what she had just said.
There was a rustling sound in her ears, and Ji Lingxue was confused. Could this big brother who was lying in ambush in the water be changing clothes
Alas, she is a person of high status and position, so at least give her a pair of dry clothes. If she gets sick, how can he exchange with Xiao Yichen
Thinking of Xiao Yichen, Ji Lingxue felt depressed. She was kidnapped and she didn't know if that guy knew about it. He didn't think she fell into the lake and died, did he
The robber snorted coldly, "Haha... I only prepared my own clothes in this carriage, Princess, please bear with it for a while, I will warm you up by the fire when we get there."
Ji Lingxue sneezed loudly, "I... I'm so cold. You just want money. As long as I'm fine, I'll give you more money."
The kidnapper was silent for a moment, "If you have money, I can consider it."
Ji Lingxue: Even if I don’t have silver, I can still prick you up with a silver needle.
It's a pity that she can't move now, so she really can't do anything to the other person.
The accomplice who was driving the carriage suddenly said, "Boss, I heard that the Prince of Chen has a silly concubine, the least favored one. We were so successful in kidnapping this time, so we didn't kidnap the wrong person, did we?"
The robber looked at Ji Lingxue and said, "Since the Prince of Chen took her out to cruise the lake, he must like her."
Ji Lingxue was very upset. Her market was really bad...
On the other side, Xiao Yichen stood on the deck and looked around anxiously. Finally, he saw bubbles in the lake and the captain of the secret guards dragged Yiyun out of the water.
Xiao Yichen breathed a sigh of relief. Yiyun was found and Ji Lingxue was saved.
After the captain of the secret guard pushed Yiyun onto the pleasure boat, he dived into the bottom of the lake again. The sun was setting gradually, and Xiao Yichen's patience had reached its limit. The uneasiness in his heart was growing. Something might have happened to Ji Lingxue.
The captain of the secret guards took the lead in kneeling in front of Xiao Yichen to apologize. A puddle of water spread out on the floor. They had been searching for people in the lake for a whole day. The water in early winter was particularly penetrating. They still knelt straight, but their faces were getting paler and paler.
The captain of the secret guard bowed his head and apologized: "Your Majesty, our subordinates are incompetent and failed to find the princess at the bottom of the lake."
The secret guard kneeling behind raised the dripping hairpin in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I only found a hairpin of the princess in the water grass."
Xiao Yichen took it and looked at it. He clenched the hairpin tightly in his hand and said through gritted teeth, "Did the two captured assassins confess?"
Secret Guard: "Your Majesty, they refuse to say anything."
Xiao Yichen sneered, "You're so bold to rob someone right under my nose." Xiao Yichen thought of something and turned to look behind him. On the low couch in the houseboat, Yiyun was wrapped in a thick quilt, her face pale and her eyes closed. Mo Bai was giving her acupuncture beside her, with a serious look on his face that said "do not disturb me".
Xiao Yichen asked: "Can we wake her up?" They had just fallen into the lake together, and Yiyun should know what happened at the bottom of the lake.
Mo Bai nodded, took out a thin silver needle and pricked it into Yiyun's Ren Zhong acupoint. Yiyun's eyelids moved and he slowly opened his eyes.
Yiyun stared blankly at the top of the pleasure boat, feeling as if she had lost track of time. It was only when she heard Xiao Yichen coughing that she turned around and said weakly, "Prince..."
Xiao Yichen nodded, "Yiyun, what happened just now?"
Yiyun was stunned, and looked around the houseboat. She soon discovered something was wrong. There was someone missing from the houseboat. Ji Lingxue was not there...
Yiyun's mind quickly flashed with what she said to Ji Lingxue before she fell into the water. She lowered her eyes, her heart in a mess, not knowing whether to be sad or happy. It was a good thing for her that Ji Lingxue was dead, but she couldn't show it at this time.
Yiyun looked up at Xiao Yichen with tearful eyes and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, I didn't push the princess into the lake. She suddenly went crazy and dragged me into the lake..." She sobbed softly.
Xiao Yichen: "At that time, she was saving you. If she hadn't helped you, the arrow would have flown over your head."
