As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri

Team after team of soldiers holding torches turned Yishan upside down, but they could not find any trace of He Yue.

Inside the simple house, Ning Rushong stared coldly at the open window and the table underneath that was used as a footstool.

"Escaped?" Ning Rushong's voice was as cold as ice, making people shudder.

It seems that He Yue is fine, but he is nowhere to be seen.

He stretched out his slender hand, bent down slightly and picked up a plum blossom-shaped hairpin from the ground. Then he looked at the woman's outer skirt and shoes on the ground, and his voice became more and more cold and sinister. "She escaped in disguise, which is quite clever."

This statement doesn't sound like pure praise.

Guard Zhang knelt on the ground and reported the information he had found out truthfully, "Your Highness, we have tortured the robbers and questioned them. It should be a man named Xiaohu who helped the Crown Princess escape."

Guard Zhang swallowed his saliva. Even without looking up, he could feel the prince's aura that seemed to be quenched by ice. He couldn't help but sweat. "The roads leading down the mountain were all blocked by my subordinates, but there were new traces of people walking on a small road in the back of the mountain. I followed it but didn't find any trace of the Crown Princess."

His voice trembled, and he bent his body even lower, "The Crown Princess should not be in the mountain anymore."

"Bang!"

Ning Rushong casually threw the hairpin in her hand to the ground, raising some dust.

After a long while, Guard Zhang heard the prince's cold and murderous voice, "Keep looking! Where can she run to? How many days can she hide?"

He Yue has always been thinking about escaping, and this time it is a great opportunity right in the open. Ning Rushong thinks He Yue will not let it go.

He looked out the window, his body standing tall, his jade-like face looking gloomy, which made people feel frightened.

Ning Rushong rarely regretted things in his life. There were two things he regretted in recent years. The first was letting He Yue leave Feng Mansion, and then she married a blacksmith. However, it was not a big deal, and he still took her to the Eastern Palace. It was an easy thing to do. He only needed to use his power to put pressure on her lightly, and then threaten her with the blacksmith's insignificant life.

The second thing was that He Yue was allowed to leave the palace the day before yesterday to watch that ridiculous wedding, and then she was kidnapped. Then she ran away with a robber named Xiaohu. This seems to be considered as elopement. Tsk, she is not a faithful wife.

These two things have an extremely unified commonality, and also serve as a warning to Ning Rushong. This time when he finds He Yue, he has to keep a close eye on her. She is a wild girl, and as long as she is given some opportunities, she will flap her wings and fly out. He has to clip her wings and tail, but it won't hurt her anyway.

…………

After He Yue and Xiaohu escaped from Yishan, they immediately hid themselves and Xiaohu in a remote village, which was almost the most remote place in Yuncheng.

He Yue knew that she absolutely could not leave the city now. There must be layers of guards at the city gates, so she had to take her time.

The two of them rented a dilapidated house in the village and traveled all night. The wound on her left foot opened again.

There was no stool of suitable height, so Xiaohu simply knelt on the ground to treat He Yue's wound. Fortunately, the medicine and other things were all put in the package.

He Yue's left foot was gently held in Xiaohu's hand. His pretty face was rarely serious. "Madam, let's rest in this village for a few days and then continue on our journey in a few days. Otherwise, your ankle will not be able to bear it."

The wound on her left ankle was horrific. He Yue glanced down at her feet, but her face was calm and her voice was relaxed. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Xiaohu lowered his head silently and treated He Yue's wound.

The lady always talks like this, saying that she trusts him, that she listens to him, and that we. The young man's mind is shallow and he is easily aroused by romantic thoughts. However, he has always been timid and knows that he is not worthy of the lady, so he suppresses everything in his heart. Only Xiaohu himself knows this feeling.

After a while, Xiaohu put He Yue's feet down and covered the windows tightly. The light seemed to be suppressed outside. He said in a dull voice, "Madam, please get some sleep. You have been traveling all night."

There was only one bedroom in the shabby house. He made a bed on the floor in the corridor outside the bedroom. His heart was still beating very fast as he lay on the bed.

The quilt was a little old, but He Yue slept peacefully. Her body was tired, but her mind was relaxed. Life was comfortable without that bastard Ning Rushong.

In fact, she also knew Ning Rushong's temperament. If she disappeared, the palace maids and guards who served her would definitely be punished.

But she thinks she is a selfish villain. She does not have a noble character and is unable to sacrifice herself for others. It is already very difficult for a person to take care of himself, so there is no need to put pressure on others. Why bother?

Now, it has been exactly three days since He Yue was kidnapped, and Xiao Guanzi in the Bai Mansion has no choice but to obey the order given by the prince before he left.

Xiao Guanzi had a feminine face. He sat on a chair with a haggard look. He rubbed his brows and said in a shrill voice, "Don't blame our family. No one can do anything about this."

He waved his hand, "Execute!"

The guards obeyed the order and quickly pushed all the people kneeling in the main hall to the ground, face up, and tied their legs tightly.

Another guard held a long steel whip with brown blood stains on it. Little Peach and Little Pear were shaking like sieves, crying bitterly, "No! No!"

The pain of shattering the kneecap deeply would drive them crazy just thinking about it. Why haven't you come back yet, Crown Princess? !

Bai Huixian and Xia Suling, one was seriously injured and the other was weak. They were unable to struggle and could not even speak.

As for Li Xiaoshu, she returned to her room early, not daring to watch the execution. Her mind was in a mess, she gritted her teeth, her eyes were bloodshot. If Bai Huixian was useless, what was the point of her being Mrs. Bai? It was just to add some jokes!

Why hasn't He Yue been found yet? She doesn't want He Yue to attend her wedding. Wouldn't it be better for him to just stay in the East Palace quietly? Why does he have to make such a fuss?

The executioner's guard swung the first whip, and the sound of it breaking through the air seemed to tear everything apart.

"what!"

"Help!"

Little Peach and Little Pear cried out in pain and struggled, but it was of no use. Bai Huixian and Xia Suling fell into coma as soon as the first whip fell.

"Stop!" Xiao Guanzi waved his hand and ordered, "Splash water on them to wake them up, and then execute them."

"Wow!" Two basins of cold water were poured on Bai Huixian and Xia Suling, forcing them to open their eyes.

The steel whip was not pleasant. One whip almost broke the kneecap and blew the flesh away.
