You Yuji didn't know how long the carriage had traveled. She was drowsy and sometimes awake and sometimes confused. Her ears were always filled with the sound of horse hooves and the occasional sound of the driver driving the horse. She turned her head with difficulty and looked towards the window. The swaying curtains reflected the figures of several people riding on horseback outside.
It was You Yuji's physique that was better. The pillow next to him was lying on the bench and fell into a coma and had not woken up yet.
When she first learned that she was robbed, You Yuji was also afraid, especially after she learned that she was poisoned. But this fear was fleeting.
Everything has its cause and effect. She didn't know what the kidnapper wanted to do, so she thought about who might have kidnapped her.
She went out today in the carriage of the Jinnan Palace, and everyone knew the noble emblem. Bandits would not dare to rob the prince's wife of the Jinnan Palace. Not for money or sex, but revenge? You Yuji thought about it and realized that there were some minor grudges, but those minor grudges were not worth the other party's mobilization of troops.
Thinking of this, You Yuji was no longer as afraid as she was at first. If these were not the reasons, the other party was more likely to hold her hostage.
Although I couldn't figure out the exact purpose of kidnapping her, since she was held as a hostage, her life was not in danger for the time being.
When You Yuji woke up again, Zhenxu beside her also woke up. Zhenxu leaned close to her, her face pale, looking a little scared, but calm and not panicking.
"Get out of the car!" The car door was pushed open from the outside.
It was pitch black outside, and it was already the middle of the night. You Yuji had to squint her eyes and look carefully at the scene outside. The man standing outside the carriage was dressed in black, and even his facial features were covered by black cloth. Behind him were some other men in black riding horses. You Yuji quickly scanned the environment outside the carriage. This was an ordinary, desolate road, and there was almost nothing recognizable on the roadside.
You Yuji turned her head and whispered to the pillow, "Follow me closely."
The pillow nodded vigorously.
You Yuji stood up and stepped out of the carriage, holding onto the door. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she suddenly felt weak and powerless, probably because the poison in her body had not yet completely dissipated.
Zhenxu followed You Yuji out of the carriage. She was no match for You Yuji and fell to the ground. You Yuji reached out to help her and managed to get her up.
"Go up, quickly!" the man in black urged.
Next to the carriage of the Prince of Jinnan's Palace, there was another ordinary carriage that could be seen everywhere in Beijing.
"Hurry!" the man in black urged again.
You Yuji and Zhenxu supported each other and boarded the carriage. She looked back and saw that all the men in black who had escorted her carriage had followed her, except for one man who was still sitting in the carriage of the Jinnan Palace. You Yuji guessed that the man wanted to get rid of the carriage of the Jinnan Palace and completely erase all traces so that the people who were investigating would lose the clues.
You Yuji took another look at the carriage of the Prince of Jinnan's Palace. The man in black closed the door and drove off again.
Zhenxu leaned against You Yuji and whispered, "Why is everyone missing..."
Zhuo Wen was missing, and all the guards around Zhuo Wen were missing.
You Yuji frowned slightly, somewhat worried about Zhuo Wen's safety. These people were obviously targeting her, and they were carefully covering their whereabouts to avoid being tracked down. Her guards...
You Yuji thought about it and thought that only the glutinous rice balls bought in the market could be poisoned. On her way back to Jinnan Palace from Zhao Mansion, when she was buying things for Si Que, she saw the steaming glutinous rice balls on the roadside. It was cold, and eating some warm glutinous rice balls could warm the body and fill the stomach. So she asked the guards to buy some.
She and Zhenxu did not get off the carriage, but asked the guards to bring the dumplings over. The two of them ate a little in the carriage, while the guards wolfed them down at the stall.
You Yuji vaguely remembered that a short and thin guard claimed that he had a stomachache and did not eat. It was not that she doubted the guard, as she had used these people for a long time and could trust them. She hoped that the guard who had not eaten the tangyuan would be smarter, escape the disaster, and go back to report the news.
You Yuji sighed.
"Madam?" Zhenxu looked over worriedly. Madam was her backbone, and when Madam was in trouble, she suddenly became panicked. Besides, she was already very scared.
You Yuji turned her head and looked over, smiled at her tenderly, patted her hand which was resting on her knees awkwardly, and said softly, "Don't be afraid."
Zhenxu nodded with red eyes.
Not long after they traveled in this carriage, the man in black stopped the carriage again, asked You Yuzhi to get off, and changed carriages again.
Before daybreak, the carriages were changed three times.
Even the pillow couldn't help but whisper: "They are so cautious..."
Zhenxu didn't dare to show her fear, for fear of infecting her wife. But she was anxious, and as she changed carriages again and again, she became more and more worried about whether she could be found.
When we changed carriages for the fourth time, it was already bright.
The carriage stopped in an inconspicuous alley, which was long and narrow and very ordinary. Before getting on the carriage, a gust of wind blew over, and the cool wind blew on You Yuji's cheek. She turned sideways and looked back, and her heart skipped a beat.
Although the man in black deliberately chose such an inconspicuous alley, You Yuji suddenly knew where it was.
The cool breeze with the moist scent of the river water let her know that this was the bank of the Lianshui River.
Before getting on the carriage, You Yuji glanced at the alley again. She suddenly remembered the day when she and Si Que kissed here while traveling by Lianshui.
You Yuji pursed her lips. She didn't go back all night. Was he worried? He should not get hurt because of worrying...
Wait... After traveling all night, we are back to the capital
This was the last time You Yuji changed carriages. This time the carriage stopped and You Yuji got off, she was already in a house.
"Go in!" the man in black behind him ordered.
You Yuji and Zhenxu walked into the room and the door immediately closed behind them.
The effect of the poison had not yet worn off, so You Yuji immediately sat down in a chair and looked around the room.
The meal had been laid out on the mahogany table in the middle of the room.
You Yuji propped herself up, moved to the table, got chopsticks, and started eating.
"Madam, is this edible?" Zhenxu asked worriedly.
“Yes.” You Yuji glanced at her hand holding the chopsticks, which was trembling slightly, and she barely put Mipha into her mouth.
After hearing what You Yuji said, Zhenxu sat down and picked up her chopsticks, but she had no appetite. She said, "Madam, who is this man? I see this yard... why..."
Zhenxu racked his brains to think about it, and picked out a word in his mind - "Why is it so magnificent? Where on earth is this place..."
You Yuji endured the weakness in her hands and took another bite of rice to eat before saying, "The palace."
Zhenxu was startled and the chopsticks in his hand fell with a snap.
The courtyard was not big, but the room was small but well-equipped. You Yuji ate and felt a little less tired, but the effect of the medicine had not yet worn off, and her mind was still groggy. She and Zhenxu went to the inner room and rested on the bed next to each other.
She had a lot of questions in her mind, but the poison made her unable to hold on. Not long after, the two fell asleep. You Yuji woke up several times and heard footsteps outside. The footsteps were always outside and never entered the inner room. The footsteps were light and sounded like palace maids.
When You Yuji woke up again, it was already evening. The palace maid had already prepared meals for her, as well as all the utensils for bathing and washing, clean clothes, and even pillowcases.
In this way, You Yuji and Zhenxu were locked up in this room for three days. Except for the palace maids who brought food and water, You Yuji did not see the person who kidnapped her.
The poison had not yet dissipated in her body, causing her to feel weak all over. Sometimes even getting dressed was difficult, and she had to rest after getting dressed.
You Yuji sat by the window, frowning and sighing at the pot of magnolia on the windowsill. She was really annoyed by this feeling of weakness all over her body.
"Bring me a book." You Yuji said in a gloomy voice.
There was a small bookshelf nailed to the wall on one side, with a few history books on it.
Zhenxu followed his instructions and handed a book to You Yuji. You Yuji had moved the table lamp in the distance closer and was reading to relieve her boredom.
When Chen Lu entered the room, he saw You Yuji sitting lazily under the lamp, reading a book. The soft light reflected on her fair face, which was bright and beautiful.
Chen Lu twirled the jade ring on his finger, appraising the woman who would become his future crown princess or empress.
"Yu Ji likes reading history?" Chen Lu asked slowly.
The deep male voice behind her suddenly brought You Yuji back to her senses from the book. She turned her head in surprise and her eyes fell on Chen Lu who was standing at the door.
Chen Lu had one hand behind his back, wearing a long black gown with a golden dragon decoration.
You Yuji looked at him calmly. Zhenxu had already opened her eyes wide in shock. She never thought that the one who kidnapped her wife would be the crown prince! The first thought that came to her mind was - it's over, it's over, it's over...
You Yuji clenched her hand holding the book slightly, but she quickly loosened her grip due to the feeling of weakness. She put the book down, stood up with her hands on the table, and said in a gentle voice: "I wonder why the prince asked his niece to come here?"
The faint smile on Chen Lu's face disappeared immediately when he heard You Yuji say the word "niece-in-law". He did not answer, but was silent for a moment before asking, "Are you used to living here? Are you satisfied with the cooking skills of the chef in the East Palace?"
As he spoke, he walked towards You Yuji, step by step, until he finally stopped in front of You Yuji and a gentle smile returned to his face.
All the doubts and arguments were suppressed by You Yuji. You Yuji pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and then said, "It's OK."
Chen Lu laughed twice and nodded, saying, "Yuji, please stay here peacefully while I arrange everything for you."
He put the hand with the jade ring on You Yuji's shoulder and used a little force to make You Yuji sit back. He withdrew his hand, looked at You Yuji meaningfully, and said, "Give my Yuji another big surprise."
Before leaving, Chen Lu instructed: "If you need anything, just tell Bai Fu."
Long after Chen Lu left, You Yuji still sat motionless in the chair. She thought of many possibilities, but she never thought that the person who kidnapped her was the crown prince.
She had hoped that the people below, Zhao Sheng, or the people in the palace could find her. But now she knew that the person who kidnapped her was the crown prince. Even if the people who were looking for her knew where she was, how could they rescue her
I felt powerless, and I didn't know if it was because my body was still suffering from the effects of the poison, or because of the emotions in my heart.
For the first time in her life, You Yuji felt such a strong sense of powerlessness. Her father was gone, and she didn't know who in this world could save her.
"Madam..." Pillow wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and suppressed her crying, "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinking about you..."
All the powerlessness was suppressed by You Yuji. She raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She curved her lips into a gentle smile and said, "It's okay."
If her father knew that she was in deep trouble and helpless waiting for someone to rescue her, he would definitely scold her for being useless. It's okay, it doesn't matter, she can definitely save herself. Even if there is a huge disparity in power, at worst both sides will perish.
"Almost."
Si Lang fed the pigeon on his shoulder and let it fly away. He stood up and left. Half an hour later, he walked into a private room on the second floor of a restaurant.
Si Que stood by the window, looking into the distance in the direction of the imperial palace.
Si Lang walked towards Si Que with a smile on his face.
"Brother, are you really unwilling to help me? Is the Chen family born to be emperors?" He put his hand on Si Que's shoulder, "Brothers like you and I can achieve great things together."
