Only then did he dare to call out in a low voice: "Violent woman, are you in there? If you are, just answer my call. Hey, is there anyone?"
Hua Qingcheng groped around and soon discovered that Wu Yangjun was locked in a cell, and the cell door was locked with a small iron lock.
"What should I do? I can't open this cell door? It's really troublesome..." As he walked around, he found some firewood in the corner and a rusty hatchet next to it.
Hua Qingcheng picked up the broken hatchet without thinking and went to hack the door lock. He had no strength in his hands and after hacking at it for a few times, before the lock was broken, the palm of his hand was cut open by the gap in the handle of the knife.
, oozing blood.
He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and continued to chop with all his strength. This time, he really split her open. He pushed open the cell door, went in, carried out the unconscious Wu Yangjun, and left the pharmacy directly with her on his back.
Yan Ruozhen was still discussing the price and quantity of herbs next time with the pharmacy owner, and she was stalling for time.
Hua Qingcheng carried Wu Yangjun to the lake, hurriedly splashed her face with water, and called her: "Hey, wake up? Wake up quickly? Don't scare me! Violent woman!"
Seeing that she still didn't wake up, he had to follow Yan Ruocheng's instructions. If the person didn't wake up, just press her philtrum. He tried pressing her philtrum again. This time, Wu Yangjun really woke up.
However, her first reaction was to punch Hua Qingcheng's handsome face and yell, "How dare you sneak attack me!"
Hua Qingcheng put her hand on her beaten face and said innocently: "When did I sneak attack you? Are you still awake? I rescued you!"
Wu Yangjun was still in the state before being attacked just now, so he didn't react.
After a moment, she came back to her senses and apologized hastily: "Sorry, I was a little confused just now and didn't know it was you."
Wu Yangjun nodded slightly embarrassed and said, "Well, it's okay." His eyes moved to his hand and found that his hand was bleeding.
She took his hand, took out the handkerchief from her body, and carefully bandaged it for him.
Hua Qingcheng didn't care about the hand injury and asked confusedly about her disappearance just now: "Why were you locked up in the dungeon? You even fainted. What did you see when you went in?"
"I didn't see anything. After I discovered the mechanism, I was attacked by someone and fainted when I entered." Wu Yangjun said helplessly. She didn't want to mention her embarrassing incident again.
"Pfft! Hahaha... It's a shame that you are so good at fighting. You were plotted so suddenly and you even fainted. Hahaha..." Upon hearing this, Hua Qingcheng began to tease her unscrupulously.
Wu Yangjun pinched his injured palm and said, "Ah! It hurts!" Hua Qingcheng immediately closed her mouth in pain.
"Where is Ruocheng? Where has she gone?" Wu Yangjun asked when he found that Yan Ruocheng was not here.
"Ah! I forgot, she is still stalling for time in the pharmacy! I have to go back and call her. Uh, don't go back yet, just wait for me here." Hua Qingcheng remembered that Yan Ruocheng was still there.
Pharmacy, said in a panic.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the inn in front. You go quickly." Wu Yangjun said.
So, Hua Qingcheng hurriedly ran back to the medicine shop, and Yan Ruocheng happened to meet him while carrying large and small herbal bags.
"We found the person, let's talk about it slowly when we get to the inn." Hua Qingcheng helped her get all the herbal bags and dragged her hand away.
They came to the inn to meet Wu Yangjun. Hua Qingcheng put down all the herbal bags and poured tea to drink as soon as she sat down tiredly.
Wu Yangjun held his chin and stared at him, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly. Yan Ruocheng noticed the subtle expression on her face when she looked at Hua Qingcheng. Although she didn't know how Hua Qingcheng rescued Wu Yangjun, Wu Yangjun must have
She developed a good impression of Hua Qingcheng.
"Ajun? You entered the wing just now. What happened?" Yan Ruocheng asked.
"There must be something wrong with those two people. When I went in, no one was inside. Later I discovered the agency. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the agency, I was attacked by someone." Wu Yangjun explained.
"Hehe, then she fainted and was locked in the dungeon. However, fortunately, I cleverly discovered the dungeon and rescued her. Speaking of which, you haven't said thank you to me yet." Hua Qingcheng took the lead.
She said the follow-up in one step.
Wu Yangjun said with a charming smile: "Yes, I am really grateful for being rescued by a playboy like you who has no power to restrain a chicken."
Hua Qingcheng said dissatisfied: "Are you thanking me and still belittling me? There is no sincerity at all."
Wu Yangjun poured him a cup of tea, toasted him, and said, "Thank you, of course. I will find another way to thank you another day." After she finished speaking, she showed a charming smile.
.
But in Hua Qingcheng's eyes, it looked like she was smiling evilly and saying maliciously: "Forget it, don't find other ways to thank me. I can't stand being frightened."
He turned back to the topic and asked Yan Ruocheng: "I can't find anything now, so my work has been in vain. Miss Yan, do you still plan to go back and report to the master?"
"I won't report it. Since I can't find anything, no one will believe me if I say it without proof or evidence. It will only cause trouble and scare the snake, so I'd better leave it alone for now." Yan Ruocheng took a sip of tea and said leisurely.
Let's talk.
Hua Qingcheng was a little unhappy, picked up the folding fan and tapped her on the head, and said, "Speaking of which, you were the initiator and I was injured. What do you say?" He stretched out his bandaged palm to
Yan Ruocheng waved in front of him.
"I'll give you some medicine later. How did you get injured?" Yan Ruozhen took his hand, looked at it, and said with a smile.
"Medicine is necessary, but what? Should Miss Yan also agree to go on a date with me?" Hua Qingcheng took the opportunity to ask her out for a trip.
Wu Yangjun shook his head and said with a flattering smile: "You, just because you were so slightly injured, you still had the nerve to ask me out. You are so thick-skinned that it is indescribable."
"You have no right to criticize me. If I hadn't rescued you, you would still be waiting to be slaughtered, huh!" Hua Qingcheng retorted arrogantly.
Yan Ruozhen smiled playfully and said, "Hey, okay, let's go on a date with the playboy another day."
When Wu Yangjun heard Yan Ruocheng agree, he moved his eyes away from Hua Qingcheng and did not interrupt again. Hua Qingcheng happily opened the folding fan and said smugly: "Then this young master's injury is worth it."
Yan Ruocheng squinted at Wu Yangjun. The reason why she agreed was to create opportunities for Wu Yangjun. She planned to have Wu Yangjun replace her on the day of the date, so that the relationship between the two could be closer.
At noon, Huang Fengmo was custom-making a new robe. After Yan Ruocheng came back from purchasing herbs, he was ordered by the director of the Medical Palace to make some nourishing and detoxifying decoctions for the eldest prince.
When she came to the side hall to look for him with the cooked soup, the tailor had just taken the measurements. Huang Feng Mo pointed at Yan Ruocheng and said to the tailor: "She also wants to make a suit that matches this prince.
clothes."
After the tailor came over to help her measure the size and then left, she asked in confusion: "Your Highness, why do you want to make clothes for a villain?"
Huang Fengmo did not answer her directly, but pointed to the soup on the table and said calmly: "You should finish the bowl of soup first."
"Scared?" When she was making the medicine just now, she thought the bowl of medicinal soup was for him, so she added more fire-removing medicine according to his physical condition to make it easier to detoxify.
She took the bowl of medicinal soup and didn't want to drink it. She had a cold constitution and would have diarrhea in the middle of the night after drinking it.
"Drink it quickly. Recently, you have been staying up late to study new medicine pills, and you have developed small acne on your chin." Huang Fengmo said slowly and carefully.
Yan Ruocheng smiled slightly and thought to himself: When did he become so interested in me? Even I stayed up late studying new medicine pills and knew that I was extremely cautious and tried not to alarm others.
Huang Fengmo was a little displeased. Seeing that she was reluctant to drink, he knocked on the table and ordered again: "Drink it immediately if you don't want to."
"Okay, okay, I'll drink it now, little one." She had no choice but to bite the bullet and drink the medicinal soup straight down.
Huang Fengmo saw that she had finished drinking, and then said with satisfaction: "The day after tomorrow, there will be a flower lantern viewing party in the palace. You can also go to the palace with me to watch the flower lanterns."
Yan Ruozhen asked in confusion: "Your Highness, Princess Shiya is accompanying you, why do you want me to go with you? I am afraid that I will be too ugly and will cause trouble to Your Highness."
This lantern viewing was specially organized by the Holy Emperor for Huang Fengmo. The purpose was to let him choose some of his favorite concubines. The premise is that those who appear in the lantern viewing garden must be stunning beauties with status and status.
Even the maidservants had to be extremely good-looking before they could follow her. This requirement spread throughout the mansion early on, and Yan Ruocheng naturally never thought that he would have the opportunity to follow.
"It's okay, don't worry about these little things, just follow if I ask you to follow." Huang Fengmo said with a chuckle, not caring about the rules she was worried about.
Yan Ruocheng still didn't want to go. After all, it was a lantern festival with a bunch of nymphomaniac women competing for a piece of grass among thousands of flowers. I really didn't know what to do there.
Huang Fengmo looked at her with a world-weary expression and asked, "Are you so unwilling to stay with me?"
Yan Ruozhen was stunned for a moment. Why did his words sound weird and make people misunderstand that he really wanted her to stay with him? She pretended to be stupid and said: "No, His Highness ordered it, and the villain will definitely follow it. It's just that
At the lantern festival, if you follow me, you are afraid that you will become the target of ridicule."
"If you don't care, no one can make fun of you. Don't be so insecure. You're not ugly." After Huang Fengmo finished speaking, he stood up and reached out to touch the birthmark on her face.
Yan Ruocheng was stunned by his actions and looked at him helplessly. An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Huang Fengmo's mouth, like a ripple on his face, quickly across his face, and then condensed into two in his eyes.
Sparks flickered and disappeared in the depths of my eyes. One sentence: It's too charming.
Just like that, she vaguely agreed to follow Huang Fengmo to the lantern festival.
Soon the day after tomorrow, when night falls, various lanterns are lit up in the corner of the North Hall of the palace, hanging on the trees and shining brightly. The beauties who come to enjoy the lanterns are stunningly beautiful and captivating, adding to the lantern festival.
A lot of beauties.
The only dim place was where Yan Ruocheng stood. She stood petrified under a darker lantern, being pointed at by the wealthy ladies passing by.
