After picking up the White Cut Black Prince

After Song Yusheng left, Wen Chu really became dishonest. She said to Song Liqing, "Miss San, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable. Maybe I ate something when I came out. Can I go to the toilet?"

Of course Song Liqing wouldn't say anything. After hearing this, Wen Chu naturally responded by standing up, but Chenxiang beside her grabbed her sleeve.

Wen Chu turned back to look at her. Chen Xiang's face was full of worry. She asked, "Are you leaving?"

Chenxiang knew that Wen Chu had never wanted to stay in Yuhui Hall, and she was afraid that she would run away today. For some reason, she felt that if Wen Chu really ran away, something would definitely happen.

Wen Chu glanced at her and said, "I'm just going to the toilet, really, you wait here for me."

All Wen Chu could do now was to play dumb. She knew Chen Xiang had guessed that she was going to run away. She said this just to avoid getting her involved. Even if she ran away, Chen Xiang would know nothing.

Chen Xiang looked at her deeply, but in the end she couldn't say a word to expose her. She slowly loosened her fingers and said reluctantly, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

Wen Chu didn't say anything and left quickly.

Fortunately, Song Yusheng had already withdrawn the people who were watching her that day, otherwise, even if Song Yusheng was not there today, she would not be able to escape.

Seeing Wen Chu stand up, Huang Ruotang also stood up and said, "Do you want to go to the toilet? I'll go too."

The two of them left this place together and walked towards the quiet room. Seeing that there was no one around, Huang Ruotang took out a guide from his sleeve and gave it to her. She said, "Keep the things you asked me for that day."

Wen Chu took it, flipped through it, and found nothing wrong, and said, "There is more Miss Huang in this matter."

Because of what had just happened, most people got up and rushed back home, leaving the place empty.

Huang Ruotang looked around and made sure that no one was around. She said anxiously, "It's okay, but if you don't want to be exposed, don't involve me. You will continue to walk to the north. There is a small door leading to the outside. Let's go quickly. There is no time for idle talk."

Wen Chu also knew that time was running out, so he bowed and said, "Thank you," then turned and left.

Huang Ruotang finally breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Wen Chu leave. She just hoped that she could escape. It would take at least an hour to get to Song Yusheng's place, and since this place was just outside Beijing, she could always leave.

She didn't think about it anymore, stayed here for a while and then left.

When she returned, Song Liqing saw that she was the only one back and asked, "Where is Sister Chu?"

Huang Ruotang said calmly, "She said she had a stomachache and asked me to come back first."

So Song Liqing didn't take it to heart.

After Wen Chu got the pass, he started to rush towards the place Huang Ruotang mentioned. After running a few steps, he heard footsteps behind him. Wen Chu was shocked, thinking that Song Yusheng should not move so fast. It was less than a quarter of an hour, so how could he notice it?

I turned around and saw that it was Qi Ziyuan.

Wen Chu said to him, "I'm in a hurry, let's talk while we walk." After that, he turned around and continued walking without waiting for him.

Qi Ziyuan was delighted to see that she was still willing to pay attention to him, and quickly chased after her. Seeing Wen Chu's anxious look, he had no time to ask anything else, so he asked, "Where are you going? Why are you running?"

Wen Chu said: "It's nothing, I just don't want to follow him."

Qi Ziyuan didn't ask her why she didn't want to follow him, but he was very happy to hear this, and even smiled foolishly. Wen Chu couldn't help but smile when she saw him like this. She glanced at him and teased, "General Qi, are you stupid?"

The two hadn't seen each other for many years, but as soon as they spoke, it was as if they had known each other for many years.

Qi Ziyuan asked: "If you wanted to leave, why didn't you tell me? Besides, we haven't seen each other for many years. I finally saw you, but you left without saying a word."

Seeing that he was about to start talking nonstop, Wen Chu interrupted him and said, "Qi Ziyuan, I won't stay in Kyoto. I'm going somewhere else. If you see me, just treat me as if I'm dead."

Even if she met Qi Ziyuan, it would only add to her troubles. It would be better to break off all ties. If he hadn't found out, she really wouldn't have planned to recognize him.

Qi Ziyuan was hurt by her words and was so angry that tears came out. "What do you mean you were dead? You were just being nice in front of me, how could I treat you as dead? Is there anyone like you? I finally met you and you said something like this."

Wen Chu heard his voice had a hint of tears in it and wanted to move closer to take a look, but she saw Qi Ziyuan turning his head away and not letting her see.

Wen Chu leaned over and asked, "Are you really crying?"

Qi Ziyuan cried even harder after hearing this. It is said that men do not shed tears easily, especially those who have been on the battlefield. Qi Ziyuan has not cried many times in his life, and the few times he cried were all because of Wen Chu.

Seeing him like this, Wen Chu didn't dare to say anything to provoke him. She said, "Okay, don't cry. It's really too late for me now. If there is a chance in the future, I will write to you after I settle down, okay? I'm not dead, I'm fine."

She said everything was fine, as if she had let go of whatever happened in the past and she didn't care anymore. But if she really didn't care, why was she unwilling to recognize them?
Qi Ziyuan wiped his tears, his eyes red, and said, "Are you afraid of Song Yusheng? Just hide in my house. Even if he is powerful, he can't search my house."

Wen Chu shook his head and said, "No, he's a terrible person. I can't cause any trouble for you."

"It's no trouble! Why bother?"

Wen Chu said, "What if he is really crazy? He knows that I lied to him and wants to cut me into pieces. What should I do? Are you going to let the Qi family quarrel with the Song family just for me? Don't be silly, Qi Ziyuan. My brother is already living in fear. If he quarrels with the Song family, it would be better for him to die."

In short, she couldn't stay at the Qi family. Song Yusheng was a lunatic. She could hide at the Qi family for a while. If she was discovered, maybe even the Qi family would be harmed. Wen Chu spoke bluntly, leaving Qi Ziyuan speechless.

While they were talking, they had already reached the small door in the north. Wen Chu finally said, "Qi Ziyuan, go back. I promised to write to you."

After hearing this, Qi Ziyuan asked, "What if you lie to me?"

"When did I lie to you that you don't trust me?"

Qi Ziyuan thought about it and realized that it was true. When he saw that she was about to leave, he quickly took out a jade pendant from his arms. There was a word "Qi" engraved on the jade pendant, and two small words "Ziyuan" in the corner. He stuffed the jade pendant into Wen Chu's hand and said, "Take it. This is my jade pendant. If someone causes trouble for you, you can use it to help them out for a while."

Wen Chu knew the origin of the jade pendant. It was given to him by Empress Xiaoyi, but she refused to accept it.

Seeing that Wen Chu refused to take it, he stamped his feet in anger and said, "Take it. It's just a broken jade pendant. It doesn't matter if it's broken or thrown away. If you don't take it, I'll smash it to the ground right away."

Wen Chu could only take it and scolded him again, "This is given to you by the Queen. If you smash it, I will knock a bump on your head too."

After Qi Ziyuan gave her the jade pendant, he called out again, "Qi Ying."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man came out from the darkness and said to Qi Ying, "You must protect her with your life. If anything happens to her, you will die."

Qi Ying agreed.

Qi Ying was Qi Ziyuan's secret guard, and usually he always hid in the dark. The two of them were always like shadows, but at this moment, he gave this person to her.

Wen Chu said: "You don't have to do this. I find it troublesome to bring someone along."

Qi Ziyuan disagreed and said, "You don't understand. Qi Ying is very capable. Even if he stays with you, no one will notice him. I feel relieved if you take him with you."

Hearing him say this, Wen Chu no longer refused. She accepted the man and did not dare to delay any longer. She turned around and left.

She ran a few steps and Qi Ziyuan called her, "Xiao Xi."

Wen Chu turned around, the sun shone on her face, her hair was blown by the wind, her appearance overlapped with the person in his memory, he said: "You are not gone, are you?"

Wen Chu smiled, raised his jade pendant, and said, "Of course, I will return the jade pendant to you."

Having said that, he disappeared.

Although she often lied to Song Yusheng, she had never lied to Qi Ziyuan.

Perhaps the time they met was not right. Qi Ziyuan met Wen Chu in his childhood, while Song Yusheng met Wen Chu when he grew up.

At least, Wen Chu never lied when he was a child.

*
Song Yusheng and the guard who had just delivered the message had already arrived at the place where the body was. The body was in a patch of grass. A passerby smelled a rotten stench and later found this place and discovered a body. When the person who found it saw this place, he was so scared that he peed and farted, and reported it to the guard, who then went to tell Madam Qi, the hostess who was at the polo field today.

Song Yusheng approached the corpse, and the closer he got, the stronger the smell of decay became.

It can be seen that it is a young girl. Her clothes are tattered, as if they were torn by someone, and the exposed skin is all blue-black. It looks like she has been dead for more than two days. Song Yusheng wanted to squat down and take a closer look. The guard next to him said at the right time: "My lord, we have already checked before you came. This girl has many signs of being abused. It looks like she died in bed. However, at such an old age, I am afraid she was forced by someone. Why she appeared here may be related to the officials who came here today."

The girl died mysteriously, and it happened today at the polo field. The murderer might be nearby.

Song Yusheng shook his head and said, "She already smells like a corpse. Looking at her skin, the color must have meant she must have been dead for more than two days. But the Qi family's polo match only started this morning, and the earliest guests arrived was this morning. How can they do it?"

The guard nodded after hearing this. After realizing that his guess was wrong, he said hurriedly, "I am stupid."

Song Yusheng raised his hand and said to the guards beside him, "Let's ask the coroner to do an autopsy. The Dali Temple is in charge of this matter."

It was really disgusting to do such a cruel thing to a girl who was not even fifteen years old. Song Yusheng frowned slightly and instructed: "Have someone keep an eye on it, don't lose the body."

The appearance of this corpse here might have been done intentionally by someone, but no matter who it is or what the purpose is, the person behind it might just want to expose the fact that someone had tortured and killed the girl.

Song Yusheng didn't like doing these troublesome things, but since the person was sent to Song Yusheng, he would just take care of this trivial matter.

He walked back and saw a man running here in a panic.

Song Yusheng ignored him, but saw the man jogging towards him.

He looked up and saw that it was Huang Jian.

Huang Jian was also quite outgoing. When he saw Song Yusheng, he tried to talk to him, but Song Yusheng avoided him without leaving a trace.

Huang Jian did not feel embarrassed and asked, "Nephew, what happened in front? Did someone die?!"

Song Yusheng did not answer him. Seeing him appear here, he looked at him with a bit of inquiry. He asked, "Why is uncle here? My cousin is also here, why don't you go to look for her?"

Huang Jian hadn't expected Song Yusheng to be so vigilant. He scratched his head, laughed dryly and said, "Hey! You know, Tang'er is annoying me, so I won't bother her. I came here with my colleagues today. They said the polo match here is lively, and Madam Qi is a kind person who doesn't mind guests, so I came with them. My nephew hasn't answered my question yet, what happened in front?"

Song Yusheng didn't know why, but he felt uneasy. Huang Jian was still chattering beside him, making a lot of noise. He walked towards the stands and replied, "A young girl died. She seemed to have been tortured to death."

"Girl?!" Huang Jian was quite shocked, his voice was a little shrill, but fortunately, everyone around him was Song Yusheng's people.

Huang Jian pondered for a moment and said to Song Yusheng, "My dear nephew, don't disbelieve me when I tell you this. A few days ago, a niece of mine in my hometown almost got into trouble. She was about twelve years old." He pointed in the direction of the girl's body and asked Song Yusheng, "Is the dead child about the same age?"

Song Yusheng had already found out Xiaoqing's background and knew that she was a descendant of the Wen family. Naturally, he also knew that Huang Jian was lying. He did not expose her and said calmly, "Yes, she looks no more than twelve years old."

Huang Jian got excited when he heard this. He said, "Yes! That must be the case. Let me tell you, my niece was staying in the village of my hometown. Later, I don't know which wicked human trafficker kidnapped her. I chased her and saw that there was a car full of children of that age! Nephew, is it scary? At first, I didn't think it was a big deal. After all, there have always been human traffickers. But looking at what happened today, I think the two are probably closely related."

Huang Jian covered his mouth and whispered, "I've heard from colleagues that some people build manors specifically to raise male paramours for fun. Do you think the girl is in the same situation? Also, why did the body appear here? I remember there seems to be a manor in the northern suburbs."

Huang Jian's words were almost like telling Song Yusheng that there was a manor nearby and there were perverts playing with young girls in the manor.

Huang Jian knew that you couldn't play any tricks in front of someone like Song Yusheng. If he showed up today, it would definitely arouse his suspicion. In that case, he might as well make his words clear.

After listening to Huang Jian's words, Song Yusheng knew that today's incident was most likely related to him. He smiled at Huang Jian and said, "I understand what uncle said. I will investigate further."

Huang Jian knew that he understood when he heard what he said. He said, "It's good that you know now. I won't go there anymore. It's really sad to see it. My dear nephew, please go first. My colleague is still waiting for me. I'll leave first."

After saying that, he left this place.

Song Yusheng stared at Huang Jian's leaving back for a while, then retracted his gaze and returned to the stands.

When he came back, he didn't see Wen Chu. No wonder he was so nervous just now.

Because of the death, most of the spectators around had already left. Even Mrs. Song II no longer stayed here because of what happened just now. Only the Qi family and the Song family were left in the entire stand.

Song Yusheng walked up to Song Liqing and asked, "Where is the person? Where is the person you said was watching over me?"

Song Yusheng's tone was calm, his expression was normal, and he didn't look like he was angry.

Song Liqing was shocked to realize that Wen Chu had been going to the toilet for more than an hour. For some reason, Song Liqing felt that Song Yusheng was even more terrifying than usual when she saw him like this, and she felt inexplicably guilty.

"She said she had diarrhea, maybe she had something bad to eat today, so she stayed here all the time." She remembered that Huang Ruotang went with Wen Chu, so she quickly turned the conversation to her, "My cousin went with them, too, ask her."

Song Liqing had rarely called Huang Ruotang "cousin" on other days, but now that something happened, he called her more fluently than anyone else.

Huang Ruotang knew that she would not be able to hide away. After all, she and Wen Chu got up to go to the toilet together, which aroused suspicion. She saw Song Yusheng looking at her, and stood up and said, "I went to the quiet room with her, but she said she had a stomachache, so she asked me to come back first. I didn't think much about it and left first. She might really have a stomachache and is still there. In that case, I'll go look for her."

Is it possible to stay there for more than an hour? How could Song Yusheng believe them if they dared to say so? However, he still had a last bit of luck and said to Chenxiang, "Go to the quiet room and take a look."

Chenxiang was already sweating profusely from fear. Hearing this, he did not dare to delay and quickly got up and walked over there.

Madam Song couldn't stand it anymore. She said, "It's just a maid. If she's lost, she's lost."

Qi Ziyuan had also returned. He echoed Madam Song's words and said, "That's right. She's just a maid. Why does the prince care so much about her?"

Song Yusheng said that there was still a glimmer of hope, but as soon as Qi Ziyuan opened his mouth, he knew that Wen Chu must have run away.

Qi Ziyuan looked half dead just now, but now he is so proud and triumphant that he even has the energy to ridicule him. It is obvious that this matter has something to do with him.

Song Yusheng was standing there at the moment, with hostility surging around him. His finger bones gradually tightened, and in the silence, one seemed to hear a "clicking" sound coming from the joints.

Huang Ruotang looked at him like this and suddenly felt a little regretful. If he knew that she was involved in this matter, let alone marrying Song Yusheng, she felt that Song Yusheng would take revenge on her as well.

Sure enough, when Chenxiang came back, he said that the quiet room was empty.

Song Yusheng was such a cautious person, but because of Wen Chu's words, he withdrew the secret guards. Even when he let her stay here, he didn't let the secret guards watch her anymore. Because he promised to let her be his legal wife, he thought that her words would be mixed with some sincerity. He tried to exchange his sincerity with hers. He believed her again and again, but she, in the end, still lied to him like this.

She is also involved with Qi Ziyuan again. If not, how could Qi Ziyuan be so happy now?
Song Yusheng only felt his head swelling again and again, his head was splitting with pain, and there were bursts of roaring in his ears.

Why did you lie to him again? Why are you still lying to him now?
Why did you still abandon him?

Song Yusheng had a terrible headache and the people standing in front of him were almost seeing double.

But Qi Ziyuan was the type of person who would not let go once he got a good thing. Seeing Song Yusheng like this, he became more and more happy to provoke him.

Song Yusheng couldn't bear it any longer, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he walked step by step to Qi Ziyuan.

Madam Song knew that her son valued Wen Chu so much that he might really hurt someone for her, so she dissuaded him, "Qian, don't do anything rash!"

Song Yusheng ignored her, but stopped in front of Qi Ziyuan, leaned close to his ear, and said with a smile: "Believe it or not, no matter where she runs, I can find her. General Qi, what can you do?"

His voice was just like him, calm and composed. Even at a moment like this, he was still in control of everything.

Qi Ziyuan said: "Mad man! Can't you just let her go?"

"But she already said she wanted to marry me, how could I let her go?"

After saying this, Song Yusheng strode away.
