Second marriage to the regent

Wenfu

Wen Yuming was carefully protecting his wild flowers and weeds that others saw. He didn't like ambitious people, and his father didn't want to get involved in disputes, so the family lived a life without fighting against the world.

But these peaceful days were eventually broken by the arrival of Li Kunyi.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here."

Wen Yuming was bending down to prune the branches, and the boy behind him quietly approached.

He handed the scissors in his hand to the maid beside him, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, then turned and walked into the room: "Your Highness, please come in and watch the tea."

The servants and maids went about their respective tasks, while he sat quietly in the house, waiting for the storm to come.

He had long expected that Li Kun would also take part in this matter, so he would inevitably seek help from him. Since his relationship with him had always been friendly, he had no reason to refuse.

"Yu Ming." Before Li Kun entered the house, he saw Wen Yuming sitting there at the door. His eyes showed happiness and he walked quickly towards him.

Wen Yuming pretended to be surprised and invited him to sit down: "Why are you here? Sit down quickly!"

After Li Kun took his seat, he did not hide anything. Instead, he faced his predicament and said worriedly: "This matter is a bit tricky. I want to ask you for help."

Wen Yuming looked at Li Kunyi's haggard appearance because of this incident, handed him a cup of tea, and said comfortingly: "There is no need to rush this matter, you need to take your time. It will take time to contact my friends in the world, and I don't have to." There is no guarantee that there will be the answer His Highness wants.”

Li Kun also naturally knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, but he was really restless as he watched the time pass by and there was no news about Cao Lanxi.

"I understand everything you said, but this matter has not been resolved for a moment, and I have trouble sleeping and eating." Li Kun also looked worried from the moment he entered the door.

Wen Yuming knew that he was anxious, but it was useless to be anxious. He called the guard and asked, "Whatever, do you have any news?"

Li Kunyi's anxiety also made Wen Yuming feel a little uneasy.

He shook his head casually: "After asking several people, I still don't know the whereabouts of Miss Cao. I haven't been able to contact the others yet."

You must know that most people in the world have no fixed abode, and it is impossible to contact them all in a short period of time.

"I am the one who has caused you trouble. This matter of Miss Cao is my business alone, but I still want to drag you along with me." After waking up, Li Kunyi said with some embarrassment.

Wen Yuming smiled slightly: "Your Highness, you are worrying too much. When did my relationship with you become so estranged?"

Li Kun also smiled after hearing this. He had such a good relationship with Wen Yuming, so naturally he wouldn't mind being disturbed.

He stood up and said goodbye: "I will go back to the Prince's Mansion first. If you have any news, remember to send someone to inform me."

Li Kun also looked at the half-pruned flowers in the courtyard, so he got up and left.

Wen Yuming promised: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will inform you as soon as I get the news."

As soon as Li Kun left, he casually lowered his head silently, not daring to look directly at Wen Yuming.

Wen Yuming's well-boned fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.

Cold sweat broke out on his back casually, and he choked with sobs: "Master, Prime Minister Cao is sending people to search for Miss Cao's whereabouts, and has focused on your friends. Do you want to inform those people to leave Kyoto?"

Wen Yuming stopped, raised his face with one hand and looked at Sui Ran: "What can these reckless men know? Prime Minister Cao can investigate if he wants."

"Then how should I explain to the prince?" He was a little scared to face such a gentle and elegant person like Wen Yuming casually. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and his heart tensed casually. After a long time, he said: "His Highness and I are close friends, and his affairs are naturally my business. Please go down and fully cooperate with His Highness to find the whereabouts of Miss Cao!"

He casually exited the study room immediately, fearing that he would die without a burial place if it were any later.

In the dungeon, Cao Lanxi was huddled in the corner, her face stained with tears, and her hair soaked with tears and stuck to her face, which looked a bit shocking.

Unable to tell the difference between day and night, she can only rely on the tiny hope in her heart to survive.

Being in a cage, not only did he have to endure the cold air and the noise of mice, but he also had to endure the malicious looks and teasing of the two guards.

She never dreamed that as the daughter of a country's prime minister, she would be kidnapped.

She was used to being well-dressed and well-fed, so she could only endure it when faced with such a scene.

At first she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, but as time went by, there was no food in her belly and she could not vomit it out. She had no strength to cry and could only breathe weakly against the wall.

"Brother, is she going to die?" The young guard looked at Cao Lanxi with eyes blank, hugging her knees and saying nothing, for fear that she would die.

The big man opened his eyes drowsily, with a drunken look on his face. When he raised his head, he accidentally knocked over the wine bottle on the table and dropped it to the ground, making an ear-piercing noise.

Cao Lanxi was startled by the sound and looked at them with wide eyes.

The big man smiled and pointed at Cao Lanxi and said to his younger brother: "Look, isn't she alive and well?"

The little thin man looked at Cao Lanxi and realized that it was a false alarm, and broke out in a cold sweat. If his master knew that something had happened to her, the two brothers would be left with nothing to eat.

The little mute came in again to deliver food. The little thin man looked at her impatiently and reprimanded: "You damn mute, why are you still delivering food to her? She doesn't want to eat, so just starve her for a few meals!"

The little mute opened her mouth and started to make gestures with her hands. The little thin man couldn't understand, so he slapped her and said angrily: "I know how to make random gestures in front of the young master every day. Don't you know that the young master can't understand?"

The little mute almost lost her balance when she was beaten. She tried her best to calm down, covering her beaten face and laughing with her.

These two brothers are locked in this cell specifically, and the guards in other cells have the same temper. They little mutes will be beaten and scolded lightly. Some will be humiliated if they are unlucky, and some sisters will choose if they cannot bear the humiliation. When it comes to ending their lives, some just swallow their anger.

Their masters let this happen, and even supported it, because their pregnancy would be beneficial to their masters.

The same is true for these captured women. Every once in a while, different women will be captured and locked up in the dungeon. Every time, they were taken away by soldiers under the pretext of interrogation, and sometimes the interrogation lasted for a whole day.

In fact, they all know that those who were arrested were not interrogated at all, but humiliated, because they would become pregnant a month after arriving here.

Moreover, their master is cruel and perverted. When these women are five months pregnant, they will use medicine to cause them to abort. If they are lucky enough to survive, they will continue to bear children for their master.

As for the whereabouts of these entangled children, they, the lower class people, have no idea.

"Forget it, open the door and let her in." The big guy didn't want to be swept away from his drinking pleasure, so he urged.

The little thin man reluctantly turned around and opened the cell door, venting his anger on Cao Lanxi: "If you don't eat this time, I will pour the food on your head! This is not the Prime Minister's Palace, and I will not pamper you!"

Cao Lanxi was shocked. It turned out that these people knew her identity, but since they knew and arrested her, they obviously did not take her father seriously. Talking more now would make her situation more dangerous.

We can only rely on them first, otherwise we are really afraid of losing our lives.
