Second marriage to the regent

In the dark and damp dungeon, rats came out of their holes to look for food, and their shrill cries woke up the fainting girl.

The girl who was awakened panicked and saw that she was in the prison. She was so frightened that she immediately called for help, but her mouth was tightly blocked, and her desperate struggle had no effect.

With her hands tied, she had no choice but to keep moving. She tried to drive away the mice, but this was like their territory. She was not timid in the face of people, but became more and more courageous as she fought.

The two soldiers guarding the cell heard the noise and came over to check. When they saw the man was awake, they smiled evilly.

Seeing the two men with malicious intentions, Cao Lanxi was so frightened that he was forced to retreat to the corner.

"Don't be afraid, we brothers won't hurt you!"

"That's right, don't be afraid, little lady! Our brothers will take good care of you!"

The lewd expressions of the two men made Cao Lanxi's guard completely collapse. She cried so hard that she kept calling for help, but this made the two soldiers even more excited.

Just when the two men were about to unlock the cell door, a soldier ran in and stopped them.

"The master has an order to keep her first." The soldier looked indifferently at Cao Lanxi, who was weak with fear in the prison, and quickly shifted his gaze.

The master said that the subordinates did not dare to disobey. One of them, a dark-skinned man, touched his chin and said in a teasing and disdainful tone: "Let me keep you for a few days!"

Although it was a false alarm, Cao Lanxi was still deeply hurt.

Yesterday she was wandering around on the street as usual, but it got dark before she knew it, and she didn't pay attention. When she found out, she was about to go back home, when someone came out of the darkness and covered her mouth and nose with poison. She instantly lost her resistance.

When she woke up, she was in this eerie dungeon.

The sound of water dripping kept coming to her ears, and every drop made her heart beat faster.

She was scared and kept praying in her heart that her father could come to save her.

She couldn't tell the time in the dimly lit dungeon. After a long time, a woman came in carrying food.

The guard quickly opened the cell door and let her in. The guard ruthlessly took out the cloth from her mouth. When the woman saw her miserable state, she seemed used to it and didn't react much.

"Keep an eye on her and leave immediately after eating!" the guard glanced at the woman and said.

After hearing this, the woman nodded and bowed. After the guard left, the woman picked up the food and fed her.

Seeing that the guard was far away, Cao Lanxi tried to inform his father through this woman.

"Do you know who I am?" Cao Lanxi asked her hopefully.

The woman shook her head.

Maybe she really didn't know Cao Lanxi's identity, or she didn't dare to meddle in other people's business.

"I am the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. As long as you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and tell my father what happened to me, my father will definitely thank you greatly!" Cao Lanxi was a little excited and did not want to eat the food handed over by the woman.

Seeing this, the woman opened her mouth and pointed at her own mouth. Cao Lanxi clearly saw that the woman had no tongue.

Cao Lanxi didn't want to give up this hope and asked again: "Can you read?"

The woman shook her head in response.

She was a little desperate, but thinking that this was her only way to escape, she continued to whisper in her ear: "If you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if you can't speak and can't read, you can still bring people here, right?" ?"

The woman was afraid of getting angry, so when she saw that Cao Lanxi was unwilling to eat, she left the cell with the food.

Cao Lanxi was not sure that this woman would help her, but this was her only hope.

Prince's Mansion

Li Kun also has no idea until now and regrets his impulsive behavior at the court.

"Shiying, do you think I am too impulsive?" Li Kun also felt unsure. Guard Shi Ying looked at the helpless Li Kunyi from the side. He was also very anxious and said: "Your Highness, don't be impatient. I believe the people sent out will have news soon."

Shi Ying's comfort did not make Li Kun feel at ease. Now he felt more and more that Cao Lanxi was in a dangerous situation. As long as he was a little later, Cao Lanxi would suffer more.

He suddenly stood up and ordered: "Take someone with me to check door to door!"

Tokiyage immediately stopped him: "Your Highness, Kyoto is so big that even a door-to-door search would take several months. This method won't work!"

The angry Li Kun also rolled his sleeves angrily: "Then what do you think I should do?"

"Your Highness, you might as well ask for help from the young prince. Although the young prince does not ask about the affairs of the court, he is the most knowledgeable about the news in the world!" Shi Ying thought of the friends Wen Yuming had made in the world. There would always be one or two who had something useful to say. Information.

"Yes!" Li Kun also clapped his hands fiercely: "Go to Wen Mansion immediately!"

Just as he walked out of the study, he stopped again and turned around to tell Shiying: "You don't have to follow me. You can go to Zuichun Tower. You might get useful clues there!"

"I understand!" Shi Ying said nothing and went straight to Zui Chun Tower.

Not long after watching Shi Ying leave the Prince's Mansion, Li Kun also set off for the Wen Mansion. Li Yi hurriedly reported the matter to Li Junyi.

"My lord, do you think this young prince can help?" Li Yi asked curiously.

"Hold on!" Su Junxi suddenly scolded Li Yi.

Seeing the cloth in her hand, Li Yi felt helpless and asked Li Junyi for help: "Your Majesty, please let the princess rest for a while! Can't we just leave the cutting of the cloth to the aunt in the house? Does the princess have to do it herself?"

"You're the only one who talks a lot! Just hold it properly if I ask you to take it!" Yingshi complained when she saw that Li Yi was half-hearted.

Li Yi felt speechless. He had just come back from outside to report the news, and when Yan'er had a stomachache, he became the one to bear the pain on Yan'er's behalf.

"With Wen Yuming's connections in the world, maybe we can find out something about him." Li Junyi looked at Su Junxi's busy figure with enjoyment.

Su Junxi's scissors moved smoothly on the cloth. Seeing that she was about to cut her hand, Li Yi subconsciously moved her hand down.

"My eyesight is pretty good." Su Junxi praised.

Li Yi rolled her eyes helplessly.

Lou Xin came in at this time. When he saw Li Yi doing such a thing, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed the cloth in his hand and said, "How can you let Mr. Li do such a thing! Just come here."

Li Yi was not grateful for Lou Xin's enthusiasm, but stepped aside easily.

"Why did Xi'er think of cutting these today?" Li Junyi asked with a smile.

Su Junxi replied: "I can't go out anyway, so I'll just find something to do for myself. Make some clothes. I haven't done needlework for a long time."

Thinking of this, her skills were a little rusty, and she couldn't guarantee that the clothes she made would be wearable.

Li Junyi said self-righteously: "But it's made specifically for your husband?"

"What a beautiful idea you have." Su Junxi subconsciously answered and refused.

But Li Junyi knew that she made it for herself, because the color of the cloth did not suit her, so it was undoubtedly made for him.

"I made it for Jun'er." Su Junxi suddenly said.

Lou Xin felt a little strange: "The princess has nothing to do with the child, why do you still care about him?"

"His mother handed him over to me, how could I ignore him?" Thinking of Jun'er, Su Junxi felt that this child was very pitiful.

"The princess is really kind-hearted and keeps her promise. I believe that child will be very happy to know that you made clothes for him!" Lou Xin said with a smile.
