Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 231
Seeing this, Long Zhiyu laughed happily and said, "Miss, you underestimate me. How can I not see if I have been touched by others?"

If you can't see this little thing, it's really a waste of reading countless people.

Xie Yanniang was dumbfounded, she didn't expect this crude excuse to fail to deceive Long Zhiyu.

Feeling the stiffer skin under his palm, Long Zhiyu comforted him softly: "Don't worry, girl, I won't treat you like I did just now. I will love you more than those little things."

She couldn't help shivering when she heard this.

Xie Yanniang couldn't help but think of the five years she was tortured, it was like a hellish day, her face suddenly turned pale.

Long Zhiyu stared greedily at her pale and delicate face, the more he looked at it, the happier he became.

After going round and round, Xie Yanniang still fell into his hands.

It should be his, but in the end it's still his, whether it's Xie Yanniang or the throne.

Just when Long Zhiyu was about to enjoy Xie Yanniang, he heard someone report loudly.

The Imperial Forest Army could not come in, they could only shout outside the hall.

He went out with a displeased face. If they only called him out with trivial matters like sesame and mung beans, they would definitely not let him go lightly.

"My lord, the emperor...is gone."

Long Zhiyu was startled, and looked at them coolly: "What do you mean missing? Isn't there a group of soldiers guarding the Mingguang Palace?"

"Yes, when my subordinates were about to change shifts, they found that everyone was lying on the ground unconscious. They sent more people nearby, but they haven't found the emperor yet..."

"Idiots, what a bunch of idiots!" Before the man could finish speaking, Long Zhiyu interrupted sharply: "What are you still doing in a daze, and immediately sent people to look for the emperor in the palace. If you don't find the emperor within an hour, you all come forward!" See!"

It was the first time that the Imperial Forest Army saw the fifteenth prince getting angry. Everyone knew that this man could do what he said, and immediately dispatched people from Qionghua Palace to look around.

The palace is so big, it is not easy to find someone.

Long Zhiyu didn't pay attention to the young emperor, he was just a child with yellow hair, and he was able to escape under his nose.

I guess it's been a long time since I left the Mingguang Palace, and I don't know where to hide.

He changed his mind, did the Rong people take the young emperor captive?
It's not impossible, the only ones who can walk freely in the palace are the brave Rong people!
What can be tolerated and what cannot be tolerated, Long Zhiyu is outraged towards the Rong people.

He disrupted his plan time and time again, making himself a mess now.

Thinking of what Xie Yanniang said, Long Zhiyu couldn't help thinking.

Perhaps the Rong clan took the initiative to cooperate with him, and secretly planned this move a long time ago. How could it be so simple to really only want to eradicate the regent?
Originally thought that they had a common goal, so they dealt with the regent together.

Looking at it now, where is it going to deal with the Prince Regent, it is clearly trying to eat up the Qing Kingdom!
Just thinking about it made Long Zhiyu hate him to the core, and it was all because of his carelessness, but he didn't expect the Rong people to take advantage of the loophole.

Another imperial army came to report, saying that there was a commotion at the gate of the palace an hour ago, and it was suspected that people from the Rong tribe were about to break into the palace. Fortunately, the eldest princess found out in time and killed all of them.

Long Zhiyu was even more furious. He only came to report what happened an hour ago. What a bunch of useless things!

He knew that killing a chief eunuch had already shocked the crowd, and killing another imperial guard would make the people below him cold and unwilling to sacrifice their lives to him.

Long Zhiyu had no choice but to suppress his anger and ask people to strengthen the guards at the palace gate. While looking for the young emperor, he also paid attention to whether there were suspicious people.

If you encounter it, you don't need to report it, just clean it up on the spot.

The Imperial Forest Army did not immediately take the order, but hesitated to say: "My lord, if the guards go to search for suspicious people, the defense of Qionghua Palace will be weakened a lot."

The implication is that they left, what should be done for Long Zhiyu's safety?
Long Zhiyu cherished his life more than anyone else, pondered for a moment and said: "Then only assign a few people to investigate around, and the rest continue to guard outside the hall."

As soon as the Imperial Forest Army left, his eyes fell on Xie Yanniang, and seeing her still staring at him with a disobedient expression, Long Zhiyu felt his heart itch.

He hasn't seen such a stubborn woman for a long time. Those who are either eager to climb up to him, or want to refuse to greet, and soon obey, it is really boring.

It was rare to have a hard rock to chew on, and Long Zhiyu was faintly excited.

No matter how stubborn she is, she is a weak woman, he does not believe that Xie Yanniang can really keep being stubborn.

"I'll give the girl a day and a night to think about it. If she follows me, she will be well-clothed in the future and become a noble concubine."

Hearing Long Zhiyu's promise, Xie Yanniang sneered and said: "Imperial concubine? That will have to wait until the prince really ascends the throne, but now it's just empty talk."

She obviously didn't believe that Long Zhiyu could win the throne, which made him feel a little displeased: "As long as you find the young emperor, no matter whether he agrees or not, I will become the next emperor."

After all, he was too relaxed before, he didn't investigate the conspiracy of the Rong tribe for a while, and underestimated the young emperor, so the young emperor escaped.

Just leaving the Mingguang Palace, it is impossible for the young emperor to escape from the palace, and in the end it still falls into his own hands, allowing him to rub it.

The succession letter does not need to be written by the young emperor himself, and even the young emperor does not need to speak, just stand by his side.

Long Zhiyu narrowed his eyes, thinking about how to teach this disobedient nephew when the young emperor is captured.

Should he be hungry for three days and three nights, or should he be given a pill of dumb medicine immediately so that the young emperor can no longer speak nonsense in front of outsiders?

"My lord is confident, so I'll wait and see." Xie Yanniang knew that this man made up his mind and would wear down his will first, just like before.

Long Zhiyu didn't like coercion, he just waited for her to give in and admit defeat willingly.

In this way, I can be safe for a few days.

In a few days, Ruan Jingxin might be able to find out that she was missing.

Xie Yanniang was also worried that because of her disappearance, if Ruan Jingxin came to rescue her, his plan would be disrupted.

Sure enough, Long Zhiyu left her and went out, locked the door of the palace, as if he would ignore her.

There was not even a candlestick in the room, and it was dark.

Xie Yanniang was also tired, but she just closed her eyes, as if she could see the deep red all over the maid's body, so glaring that she couldn't wipe it off.

In the past five years, she had seen countless women who wanted to climb up to Long Zhiyu, and she had long since lost the pity and fear she had before.

But no matter how much you get used to it, Xie Yanniang still can't be completely numb as if it never happened.

The last scream of the blue-clothed palace maid, her eyes widened with death, was eerie and terrifying.

She took a deep breath, her hands and feet were numb and painful from being bound by the rope.

Xie Yanniang twisted and continued to grind slowly with her nails.

Waiting for Ruan Jingxin to come to rescue, it's better for her to save herself first.

After a whole night of hard work, Xie Yanniang broke all ten of her fingers, and only half of the rope was broken.

The hall was very quiet, even deathly quiet.

Xie Yanniang is no stranger to this kind of dead silence.

If it was before, she might still be afraid. Long Zhiyu likes to waste his will and be locked up in a place where no one passes by.

There was no water, no food, and she was alone in the house.

Xie Yanniang had almost collapsed before, but now she likes this kind of quietness.

Anyway, not having to see Long Zhiyu's face is more comfortable than anything else.

And in a quiet place, you can hear the movement outside the hall even more.

It was quiet outside, Xie Yanniang caught a glimpse of the dim light outside the window.

It was just dawn, and everything was quiet, when suddenly there was a soft sound, and she couldn't help but tense up.

Who will come, Ruan Jingxin, or Long Zhiyu?
Xie Yanniang stared at the window lattice tightly, a tall figure rolled in nimbly, almost no sound of footsteps could be heard.

The other party stood up straight, quickly noticed her gaze, and strode towards this side.

The gauze curtains were raised heavily, Xie Yanniang saw a familiar face, she couldn't help being surprised.

It wasn't Ruan Jingxin who came, it was Meng Mingqi!

"You...you didn't go to the border town, why are you here?"

Obviously, before the carriage fell into the valley, Meng Mingqi took the dumb girl on the way all the way, wanting to take her to the border town so that he could threaten the regent with himself.

Is this because Meng Mingqi returned because Xie Yanniang was lost as a hostage?

Meng Mingqi looked at Xie Yanniang who was in a mess, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.

Received a secret report that Long Zhiyu had arrested a court lady who looked like the regent's concubine.

Regardless of his dumb sister's obstruction, he returned to the Qing Kingdom alone, and then sneaked into the palace under the cover of his fellow clan.

Originally, I only had a glimmer of hope, but I didn't expect that it was Xie Yanniang, she was still alive!

Meng Mingqi took a few steps forward and reached out to caress Xie Yanniang's face.The warm touch was in the palm of his hand, and he was greedy for this kind of body temperature, rubbing it lightly.

It seemed like this was the only way for me to confirm once again that Xie Yanniang was still alive.

"Where am I going, who can stop me?" Meng Mingqi looked at her with a smile, looked him up and down, and said, "The concubine is quite embarrassed. She came into the palace pretending to be a court lady. Could it be that she wanted to assassinate the [-]th prince, but was caught and caught by someone else?" Living?"

"Why did you come here? Could it be that you came to see my jokes?" Xie Yanniang was not sure if Meng Mingqi would know that the regent had also sneaked back into the palace, and cautiously asked.

"Just to see the princess, shouldn't the princess be touched?" Meng Mingqi didn't untie her rope, but directly reached out and broke the back of the chair, and carried Xie Yanniang on his shoulders.

This action startled Xie Yanniang, she struggled and said: "Put me down, you take me, the fifteen princes will soon notice, and then there is no way to escape."

"Is the concubine worried about me? Don't be afraid, I can come in, and I will naturally have a way to get out." Meng Mingqi didn't take Long Zhiyu seriously, he was just a clown.

With flamboyant fists and embroidered legs, not everyone in the Yulin Army obeys his orders, and each has his own thoughts.The palace is so big, how easy is it for him to find one or two people?

Xie Yanniang panicked, if he took her out of the palace, she would be pinched by Meng Mingqi, and she might become the regent's weakness!
She would rather be imprisoned by Long Zhiyu than be taken away by the Rong people.
