Chapter 92
Xie Yuheng secretly thought that although Tong'er was just a little girl who had never seen the world, with Shen Mengxi and Xie Yuwan taking her with them, and even the bodyguards, Tianlong Temple always had ladies and noble ladies offering incense. It's a safe place and there shouldn't be any accidents.
But, Mo Ming is flustered...
At this moment, Huang Yu ran over sweating profusely. He didn't even bother to knock on the door. He opened the door and reported loudly: "Master, it's not good!"
As soon as Huang Yu received the news from the guard, he immediately rushed to the study to tell the master.
"What's the matter?" It's not like Huang Yu has never experienced strong winds and waves. It's rare for Xie Yuheng to be so panicked. He put down the book in his hand and looked at Huang Yu with his dark eyes exuding annoyance that was inconsistent with his age.
"Miss Tong'er, she, she fell off the cliff and died!"
Xie Yuheng's hand on the desk shook, and his face remained as usual: "The body has been found."
"Not yet, the government over there is sending people."
Before he could finish speaking, a book flew towards him and hit him on the chest. He was so frightened that he quickly knelt down.
Then Xie Yuheng's sinister scolding voice came from above his head: "We didn't find anything, so we just said something happened to her. You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
Huang Yu quickly admitted his mistake: "It was my subordinate who made a mistake."
By the way, Huang Yu has been following Xie Yuheng since he was a child. This is the first time he has seen him lose his temper towards him, and he has made him look down on him and make him yell in a loud voice.
Xie Yuheng endured the pain in his heart and said coldly: "Get up!"
"Tell me! What's the specific situation?"
Huang Yu then told what he knew about the situation and the general story. After finishing speaking, the prince didn't speak to him for a long time. He was very worried and bowed respectfully to the side, hoping to avoid this disaster.
Afterwards, Huang Yu wasted no time and reported back: "Your Majesty, Jing Zhaoyin has sent people to rescue him."
When Xie Yuheng heard that several hours had passed and no one was found, he said sternly: "A living person has not been found yet. What is the use of the imperial court in raising them?"
Who dared to answer? Huang Yu and Xiao Mo, who was waiting in the study, lowered their heads.
"Walk!"
Xie Yuheng immediately went to the palace and asked the emperor for leave. He wanted to personally lead several teams of elite soldiers to fish for people in the river under the cliff.
Emperor Mingzheng immediately agreed to his offer and sighed in his heart: Xie Aiqing, who has been blooming for thousands of years, finally fell in love with a woman. Although she was just a concubine, something happened.
Xie Yuheng led people to search for people at the bottom of the cliff where Wang Tong'er fell. He even asked people near the river if they had seen the woman who fell into the water, but there was no news. He searched again and again every day. Before, the woman was shiny and black. His hair was a little dull, and his face was visibly dull.
In the past few days, Xie Yuheng and others have been searching like this, from day to night, and from night to day.
Until the emperor issued an edict asking him to go back, he didn't believe that something had really happened to her, so he left a group of people here to continue searching.
Returning to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, he went to Huijuyuan to accompany Mr. Rong for a meal. He looked at the food on the table and found it was tasteless. He picked up a few bites of vegetables and ate them. Then he stood up and said to Mr. Rong: "Mother, my son is full." , please use it slowly." Ready to leave.
Mrs. Rong sat aside and looked at him, feeling very distressed: "Heng'er, please have some more soup." He was a tall man, but he only ate a few mouthfuls, and now he was so thin that his cheeks were bulging.
Xie Yuheng bowed to her and left. It wasn't that he didn't want to eat, but he really couldn't eat it.
Instead of taking a rest, he went to the study to deal with official documents. Only in this way could he feel more comfortable.
The people he sent searched for her again and again, but there was no news. He became more and more desperate. He didn't dare to think about how he would survive if she was really killed.
Every night when he closed his eyes, he could think of the little girl's smart, fox-like eyes, and her appearance of being humble and obedient, but actually always being the opposite.
I had never faced my own feelings seriously before. I only regarded her as a little girl who was in line with my heart. This was my obsession in my previous life!
I just want to protect her from any worries in this life.
Ever since he learned about her accident, his soul seemed to have been sucked out...
Xie Yuheng became more and more desperate as he searched, but he never gave up and still sent people to search relentlessly.
······
Wang Tong was not destined to die. When she fell from the cliff, luckily a branch caught her and gave her a buffer, so she did not fall into the water.
Fortunately, she knew how to swim in her previous life, otherwise she would have been choked to death by the fierce river water and drowned if she had fallen from such a high cliff.
Anyway, it was a coincidence that Wang Tong'er saved a small life.
The river carried her further and further away, and she was floating in the river in a daze. Fear and terror swept over her, and she gradually lost her strength and drifted with the waves...
In the morning, Wang Tong'er felt something pushing her behind her a few times, and her consciousness began to wake up.
Thanks to Wang Tong'er's fate, due to the location where she fell into the water, the inertia of the river, and the current rise of the river, she was washed into a branching river and was hit by a wave of water on the shore.
She was lying on her side, and when she opened her eyes, she saw water. She immediately thought of her situation, and then immediately thought that it might be something strange, a snake, or a big insect pushing her, and she almost screamed in fright.
It's just that my whole body is still weak and I can't stand up.
I could only close my eyes and lie on the bank of the river, waiting to regain some strength before getting up.
Nanny Xu came to the river early in the morning, holding a few pieces of dirty clothes in her hands and preparing to go to the river bank to wash clothes. She saw a girl lying by the river.
I hurriedly put down the dirty clothes in my hands and walked forward to take a closer look. I saw a young girl wearing a duck-egg blue five-petal plum blossom jacket. She quickly tried to snort and still breathe.
His whole body was wet, his hair was messy, he wore peach-shaped gold earrings on his ears, and his face was pale.
Judging from her clothes, she looks like a girl from a well-off family, but I don't know if it was because she slipped and fell into the water or for other reasons.
"Girl, girl!" Nanny Xu gently patted Wang Tong'er's little face, pushed her little body, and shouted hurriedly.
"Well," Wang Tong'er was already awake, but just couldn't get up. Seeing someone pushing her, she reluctantly opened her eyes.
"Girl, wait a minute, I'll call someone to help you leave." Nanny Xu said as she quickly pulled her little body, first dragged her away from the water bank, and then quickly left towards the path on the river bank.
After a while, Aunt Xu brought over a skinny and short half-grown young man, who held Wang Tong'er's arm and walked to the shore. Aunt Xu didn't care about the dirty clothes left on the shore.
The two of them helped Wang Tong'er to a small abandoned temple not far from the river bank. Wang Tong'er saw a simple bed made of wooden boards inside, and there was another person lying on the tattered quilt.
