At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner
Chapter 121 Meeting Shangguan Hongling
As soon as you enter the store, the first thing that catches your eye is the dazzling array of bronze and brass products. These utensils are beautifully shaped and exquisitely crafted, and each exudes a unique charm. Whether it is a small and exquisite wine glass, bowls and plates, or a magnificent vase and incense burner, all of them show the superb skills of the maker. However, such exquisite bronze wares are very expensive, and any one of them costs more than ten taels of silver. This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for ordinary people, and they cannot afford such consumption at all.
But the prince took her through the store without hesitation and went straight to the depths of the store. There, a golden scene unfolded before her eyes - all of them were utensils made of precious materials such as gold, silver, and ivory. These utensils were even more gorgeous and dazzling, and their value was immeasurable. They were inlaid with gems, pearls, agates, and jade, or carved with exquisite patterns, and every detail showed nobility and luxury.
"Oh my god! The utensils here are so exquisite!" Yu Yunxin stared at the artworks in front of her and couldn't help but exclaimed. She seemed to be in a dreamlike world, surrounded by these beautiful utensils.
The prince on the side noticed Yu Yunxin's surprised expression and was secretly delighted: This little girl is so cute! He smiled softly and said, "Xin'er, if you like any of these utensils, I can give them to you." After that, he looked at Yu Yunxin gently, his eyes full of doting.
Yu Yunxin was touched when she heard the prince's words. She knew that these utensils were extremely precious treasures, but the prince was so generous that he was willing to give them to her. This made her have a better impression and respect for the prince. However, she did not immediately accept the prince's kindness, but smiled and replied: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. These utensils are really too expensive. I am satisfied just to appreciate them."
The prince admired Yun Xin's modesty and understanding more and more. He felt that this woman not only had outstanding looks, but also had noble character and bearing. So, he decided to give Yu Yun Xin some more surprises to make her happier and happier.
At this time, the owner of the utensil shop came out in brocade clothes and a silver belt around his waist, like a swaggering peacock. He saw the prince and Yu Yunxin at a glance, greeted them with a smile on his face, and said, "Your Highness the Prince and Princess Xingguo, you are here to choose gifts for the fourth young master of the Lin family!" The people behind this utensil shop are all royal relatives, and they naturally know the royal relatives and nobles in the capital.
"Let's take this pair of gold buckles that are a perfect match!" Yu Yunxin said as she cast her eyes on a pair of gold and jade waist buckles in the rosewood box.
"My lord, you have good taste. The price is in pairs!" The owner said, "Two thousand two hundred and twenty-two taels."
"It's a good price, boss, please pack it up! Ruan Ming goes to pay the money." When the prince heard the auspicious price, he bought the pair of gold waist buckles without saying a word.
Yu Yunxin turned to look at the prince, only to see the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile and saying: "Xin'er, I also think this pair of gold buttons is very suitable for giving to Lin Dengyu as a gift. What about you, have you seen anything you like?"
Hearing the prince's question, Yu Yunxin glanced at the items in the store, and then fixed her eyes on the copper stove with a crabapple base placed downstairs. Her eyes lit up, and she pointed at the copper stove and asked the owner of the utensil store, "Shopkeeper, how much silver does that copper stove cost?"
The shop owner looked in the direction of Yu Yunxin's finger, and then replied with a smile: "My princess, you have a good eye! This copper furnace is one of the finest in our store, and the price is twenty-two taels."
"Well, I want this copper stove." Yu Yunxin nodded with satisfaction, and then added enthusiastically, "This crabapple flower is carved so beautifully. I must try it carefully when I get it back to see if I can use it to smoke a crabapple flower." As she spoke, she couldn't wait to reach out and pick up the copper stove, and walked out of the utensil store with excitement on her face.
When the prince saw that Yu Yunxin liked this copper stove so much, he immediately signaled his servant Ruan Ming to buy another copper stove exactly the same as the one in Yu Yunxin's hand.
As soon as she came out of the utensil shop, Yu Yunxin felt two strange auras lingering nearby. One of them was very familiar to her and was the internal energy aura of Shangguan Hongling. There was also a person with a very gloomy aura and she didn't know whose it was, but this aura was not Shangguan Hongcheng's either.
She hurriedly quickened her pace and finally caught up with the person in front. The prince followed Yu Yunxin closely, but saw that she ran away like a rabbit as soon as she left the store, her speed was astonishing. He was puzzled and didn't understand why she was in such a hurry, so he and Ruan Ming chased after her without hesitation.
However, when they chased to the corner of the alley, Yu Yunxin's figure suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if she had evaporated into thin air. Only a lonely copper stove was left scattered on the ground, which looked particularly abrupt.
Ruan Ming quickly picked up the copper furnace, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He turned to look at the prince behind him and said anxiously: "Your Highness, the princess is missing!"
The prince frowned, his eyes full of worry. He stared at the direction where Yu Yunxin disappeared, praying in his heart that she would not encounter any danger. After a moment of silence, he decisively gave an order: "Find her! You must find Xin'er!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Ming immediately sent people to search quickly, not missing any possible clues. They shuttled between the streets and alleys, asking passers-by if they had seen Yu Yunxin. As time passed, the prince's mood became heavier and he became more and more anxious about Yunxin's safety.
On the busy street, a sharp and miserable cry suddenly came. People stopped to look and saw a woman dressed in simple maid clothes standing in the middle of the road, crying out with tears on her face: "Hurry up! My Concubine Wen is missing! She's pregnant!"
This voice was like a sharp sword piercing through the hustle and bustle of the downtown, making the atmosphere tense in an instant. Everyone looked at each other, with an ominous premonition in their hearts. The maid's crying became louder and louder, attracting passers-by to gather around and ask what happened.
"Excuse me, what happened? Why did your concubine disappear?" someone asked with concern.
The maid sobbed and replied, "This morning, the concubine said she wanted to go out for a walk and get some fresh air. So I accompanied her. But when we walked to this street, a group of men in black suddenly came and took the concubine away without saying a word. I was scared and wanted to stop them, but was pushed to the ground... wuwuwu..."
At this point, the maid was already sobbing and her body was trembling slightly from excessive grief.
After hearing this, everyone was filled with righteous indignation. "How dare they rob a pregnant woman in broad daylight? This is too much!" "We must find these villains and rescue Concubine Wen!" For a while, all kinds of discussions came one after another.
At this time, the Crown Prince and Ruan Ming also came over after hearing the noise. The maid saw the Crown Prince and said as if she had found a life-saving straw: "Crown Prince, please save Concubine Wen! She is pregnant with Prince Rui's child!"
The prince and Ruan Ming were originally looking for Yu Yunxin and were very anxious. When they heard that there were men in black kidnapping people in broad daylight in the capital, they wondered if his Xin'er had also been kidnapped by these men in black! The more they thought about it, the more worried they became.
"Find it for me! You must find the man in black."
Yunshan and Yanluo were originally following Yu Yunxin, but when they sensed Shangguan Hongling's presence, they chased after her without hesitation. However, unexpectedly, the princess also discovered Shangguan Hongling's trace.
"Princess!" Yanluo said as she handed the mechanical umbrella to Yu Yunxin.
"They captured a pregnant woman and left the city." Yunshan said indignantly, her voice full of anger and urgency.
Soon, three figures were seen flying over the rooftops as lightly as birds, and followed the lingering breath to the city gate.
"Look! They have already left the city!" Yanluo had sharp eyes and immediately spotted the obvious wheel marks on the ground. She quickly pointed at them and shouted.
"Okay! Chase them! We must not let them get away!" Yu Yunxin looked solemn, holding the badge of Princess Xingguo tightly in her hand. She knew that time was running out, and she did not dare to delay for a moment. She quickly passed through the city gate and ran towards Beishan without hesitation.
Yu Yunxin was extremely anxious as she leaped along the way, and she was vigilantly observing the movements around her, not missing any clues.
Gradually, the dense forest on the North Mountain appeared in front of her. Yu Yunxin slowed down her pace and searched for the target's traces with her keen intuition and caution...
Suddenly, from the originally silent forest, there was a sharp and piercing cry for help from a woman:
"Help! Help! Someone please save me..."
This sudden sound broke the tranquility of the forest and aroused the vigilance of Yu Yunxin and the other three. They rushed towards the direction of the shouting without hesitation.
As they approached, they heard an unfamiliar voice saying, "Concubine Wen, I advise you to save your energy and stop shouting. In a moment, we will only take away the fetus in your belly. As for your life, we will still keep it."
The voice was gentle and cold, making people shudder. Yu Yunxin and the other two felt nervous, realizing that the situation might be more serious than they thought. They quickened their pace and finally arrived at the source of the sound.
A young woman in gorgeous clothes was being held hostage by two masked women in black. Her face was haggard, and her eyes were filled with fear and despair. Obviously, she was the concubine Wen who had cried for help.
"Are you Princess Rui's people, or are you sent by that concubine?" Concubine Wen asked helplessly.
"The fetus in your belly is a top-grade medicine in our eyes! Hahahaha... Don't worry, as long as you take this medicine and have a good sleep, you will be fine. However, if you dare to resist or report to the police, don't blame us for being cruel and ruthless, we will kill you directly!" Shangguan Hongling's eerie and creepy voice came, and as she spoke, she slowly stuffed a pill in her hand into Concubine Wen's mouth.
At this moment, a silver light flashed, and a thin silver needle rushed out like lightning, hitting Shangguan Hongling's wrist directly. She felt pain, her hand trembled, and the pill fell down.
It turned out that it was Yanluo who took action! She stood not far away, her eyes were cold and firm, and she was holding a thin silver needle in her hand. It was this needle she had just sent out that successfully stopped Shangguan Hongling's evil deeds. At this moment, her eyes were fixed on Shangguan Hongling, as if warning the other party not to act rashly.
Shangguan Hongling looked at the person in front of her, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, and she chuckled and said, "It's the people from Yanyu Manor who come to meddle in other people's business again, but just like last time, they've sent us top-grade medicine." There was a kind of sarcasm and confidence in her voice, as if she was already accustomed to Yanyu Manor's behavior.
Shangguan Hongling finished speaking, and she waved her hand, and six masked women in black jumped out from behind her. These six women were agile and quick, like ghosts, and they came to Shangguan Hongling in an instant.
"Go ahead!" Shangguan Hongling said coldly. As soon as she finished speaking, the six women in black immediately took action. Holding sharp blades, they rushed towards the enemy. For a moment, the flashes of swords and the shadows of sabers intersected.
"Yunshan, take Concubine Wen out first, I'll cover for you!" Yu Yunxin looked at Yunshan firmly and said in a resolute tone.
Before she finished speaking, she quickly moved her hands and drew out two extremely sharp swords from the mysterious umbrella. Then, she swung her body and flew up like a dancing butterfly, waving the two swords in her hands with a dazzling sword light, blocking Shangguan Hongling's fierce attack.
This sword was as majestic as a rainbow piercing the sun, and as fierce as a violent storm. Yu Yunxin was as agile as a flying swallow, and her swordsmanship was so exquisite that people could not help but marvel at her.
These women in black were obviously well-trained killers, their moves were extremely ruthless, and every time they attacked, they tried to kill with one strike. Yu Yunxin and Yanluo were not to be outdone, they all displayed their unique skills and launched a fierce confrontation with the women in black.
Yunshan took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to Concubine Wen and immediately flew forward to rescue her.
In order to help Yunshan and Concubine Wen escape safely, Yu Yunxin summoned the butterflies and bees from her colorful bracelet to block several men in black who were chasing them.
The whole scene was extremely chaotic, with both sides fighting back and forth, neither side giving in. However, when Shangguan Hongling was defeated by Yu Yunxin and retreated repeatedly, she suddenly laughed: "Yu Yunxin, why are you so stupid to look at who these people in black are."
When Shangguan Hongling spoke, Yanluo and Yu Yunxin's attention was immediately drawn to the group of women in black.
Yan Luo immediately stopped what she was doing, reached out and took out a few silver needles and held them between her fingertips, staring at them sharply, ready to attack at any time.
She said softly: "The princesses are Liu Xu and Piao Yang. I have never seen the other four."
At this moment, the scene became tense, as if a fierce battle was about to break out.
However, Shangguan Hongling was not afraid at all. She raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a confident smile.
Then, she said in a clear voice: "Heiyue, I leave this place to you. I will go ahead."
Before she finished her words, Shangguan Hongling's figure disappeared without a trace like a ghost in front of everyone.
