Chapter 14 She shouldn’t have survived

Shen Zhiyue turned her head and looked behind her. Why were these people still chasing her? She couldn't run anymore. What should she do? She might not be able to wait until Bai Mingyu came to save her.

Not paying attention to the road ahead, she suddenly bumped into something and was forced to stop. Bai Mingyu put his arms around her waist and held her in his arms. He picked up the bamboo hat sold by the vendor next to him with one hand and threw it out. He hit the target with perfect accuracy. While running, he suddenly collapsed.

Shen Zhiyue raised her head and could only see his cold and proud profile. He was truly a life-saver. It was right to call him by his name.

But I still felt a little aggrieved, and my eyes were sore: "Bai Mingyu, if you come later, I will be sent to that master's other courtyard. I might as well marry Wu Peng."

"Because I'm not familiar with the terrain, I wasted some time." He arrived late.

He held his hand around her waist and exerted some force. Listening to what she said, he thought of the scene. He had never been afraid of going to the battlefield and never coming back, but for the first time, he was afraid that something would happen to her.

Bai Mingyu took her back to the inn. When Yu Cong and others came out of the brothel, they could not catch up with the prince. They divided their troops into two groups, one went to the old man's courtyard and the other way back to the inn to wait. When the prince came back, they believed that the prince would definitely take care of him. Miss Shen rescued him.

He held her in his arms and dismounted, but did not let go. Shen Zhiyue felt that this had a bad influence.

"You put me down and I can walk by myself."

"Do you want to go in dressed like this and show every man a look?" Bai Mingyu reminded her.

Shen Zhiyue looked at the clothes on her body. Her clothes were just a piece of gauze. Mammy said that hazyness can best arouse a man's animal nature. In places where there is light, it is indeed a little half-clothed.

She stopped being pretentious, grabbed his clothes and buried her face in it, not wanting them to see her face, it was too embarrassing.

Yu Cong stared at their interaction, his pupils dilated. He didn't expect that the relationship between the prince and Miss Shen would develop so quickly.

It seemed that the mistress of the palace must be Miss Shen. They looked at each other, and they had to build a good relationship from now on.

When they returned to the room, he put Shen Zhiyue on the bed. Seeing that he was about to leave, she subconsciously reached out to grab him.

"Hey, thank you for today."

"take a good rest."

Shen Zhiyue grabbed his wrist and pulled him to a chair to sit down: "Let me tell you, today I was squeezed into the alley by a group of people, and then I was knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I was in a brothel. My mother-in-law said, The master has taken a fancy to me and asked me to be more obedient.

I thought about it for a long time. I haven’t shown my face since we entered the town, except when we got off the carriage. So, that person fell in love with me at first sight. Don’t you think it’s strange?”

At this time, the people sent out came back: "Your Majesty, I went to the other courtyard and didn't find anyone. That person should have run away long ago."

Bai Mingyu thought there was something wrong, so he said with a straight face: "Check the brothel carefully."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard took the order and left the room.

After she finished saying what she wanted to say, the room suddenly fell silent. Bai Mingyu picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, and his eyes accidentally saw the white snow on her chest.

He couldn't help but cough lightly: "You should change your clothes."

Shen Zhiyue tightened the red gauze: "I was too anxious just now, I will change it now."

Seeing that there was no movement from him, I couldn't help but say, "I want to change clothes, but you still want to stay here?"

When Bai Mingyu heard this, she got up and left the room. Shen Zhiyue put on her own clothes and lay on the bed. She was really tired today and exercised too much. Her arms were weak and she pulled up the quilt and closed her eyes to sleep.

He stood at the door and waited for a while. When he saw that there was no movement in the room, he returned to his room. Thinking of her charming appearance today, his breathing became faster.

He drank several cups of tea before calming down. Early the next morning, the guard who went to the brothel to investigate came back: "Your Majesty, there is nothing abnormal about the brothel's operation on the surface, but my subordinates accidentally discovered that the stewardess has a phoenix flower on the back of her neck."

Phoenix Tail Flower?! It seems that this brothel and Mr. Shen serve the same master. Bai Mingyu got dressed and said: "Bring the steward here."

At this time, the wall of grandma's room opened, and Mr. Shen came out: "Bai Mingyu will find out about you soon. You have been exposed."

"If I hadn't helped you find your daughter, would I have been exposed? Forget it, just think of me as returning the favor to you. This is the brothel's account. Let the master send someone to take over."

"You should know why I help him." Wouldn't it be better for him to do business peacefully? He has to be involved in the whirlpool of official circles. He doesn't know whether he can escape unscathed in the future.

Mammy sat on the chair, poured a cup of tea and drank: "You are really infatuated for Shen Zhiyue's mother, so what does Shen Zhiyue mean?"

"She shouldn't have survived. If it weren't for her, Qianxue wouldn't have died in childbirth." Mr. Shen clenched his fists tightly.

He and Hou Qianxue were childhood sweethearts and grew up together. It was an old case...

"That girl is quite pitiful. Since you don't want to see her, why don't you just let her go?"

Mr. Shen thought of her face, which was exactly the same as Qianxue's. If he followed Bai Mingyu back to the capital, he might cause another turmoil.

When grandma heard footsteps coming from the corridor, she immediately pushed him into the secret passage: "Hurry up."

Then the door was kicked open, and Yu Cong rushed in with someone: "Come with us, the prince wants to see you."

Grandma was pushed into the inn and knelt on the ground, looking at the man who broke in last night. He was really a big shot.

"I didn't know that Your Majesty is here. I have offended you many times before. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

"You must know why this king is looking for you. Who is behind the phoenix flower on the back of your neck?" Bai Mingyu went directly to the topic.

"Your Majesty, the common people have no idea what you are talking about."

Yu Cong brought all the people in the brothel who had the Phoenix Tail Flower mark and knelt on the ground. They looked at their grandmother.

The grandma knelt straight, with black blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. When Yu Cong saw it, he hurriedly pried open her mouth, looked up at the prince, and shook his head slightly. This man had committed suicide by taking poison.

When those people saw it, they were so frightened that they trembled: "Mom, Mammy."

"Tell me, how did you get the Phoenix Tail Flower mark? Have you ever seen the person behind it?"

"Reply, sir, we are just rough people. Grandma asked someone to carve this phoenix flower for us. We usually transport goods to the capital."

"Beijing?" Yu Cong asked immediately.

"We always leave the goods in the inn and then leave."

"What kind of goods?" Yu Cong asked anxiously.

"Yes, they are women. They are all foreigners from various places. They are beautiful in appearance."

"Do you know what those items are used for?" Yu Cong pulled out his shuriken.

These people were immediately frightened and said: "The servants really don't know, we just left the goods and left."

"Really don't know?" The tip of the sword pointed at them one by one.

They leaned back, fearing that the sword would penetrate their bodies: "Sir, ordinary people really don't know."
