Kang Yanning was very busy these days. Although Yanyu Tower had been handed over to Huaili, there were still some things that she needed to do personally.
Kang Yanning first followed Ye Feiwei's path and went to the Prince's house as a guest. She originally thought that asking the Taifu to come out and take charge of the annual list of Yanyu Tower would require understanding with emotion and reasoning. But the Taifu easily agreed.
It was so easy, Kang Yanning vaguely felt that maybe the prince had also contributed.
Kang Yanning was slightly in a trance. She thought of the handful of batan wood sent by the prince after that day, and found it a little funny.
The two of them haven't gotten along very much since they came to Kyoto, but they always feel that they have a constant connection. Whether it is when serving as the second princess's companion or when she is in trouble, it seems that His Royal Highness is always able to
Appear quickly.
Huo Hua has been with the prince for many years and has been with the prince day and night. He can't say that he knows the prince very well and he has some knowledge. When he saw that the prince was a little too obsessed with Kang Yanning at first, he sent people to keep an eye on everything big and small, and then handed him a hand inexplicably.
He asked him to give Batanmu to Princess Kang, and asked tentatively, "Your Highness, are you interested in that girl from the Kang family..."
"Girl?" The prince's hand holding the book paused slightly. Thinking of Kang Yanning's methods, he smiled and said, "Sooner or later, this girl will disturb Kyoto. You'd better not underestimate her."
Huo Hua scratched his head. Kang Yanning was more powerful than other women. She had done some great things within a few months of coming to the capital, but... this was not the reason for the prince to be extremely concerned. He knew his master and the third prince well.
Not even a corner of my eye would be given.
Seeing that Huo Hua didn't give up, the prince still glanced at him, withdrew his smile and said, "I think you have been too busy recently. When it's time for winter hunting, you should prepare well." He lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes reflected him.
They should not be able to bear it any longer."
When Huo Hua heard this, his expression became solemn, "I accept my order."
Kang Yanning had been feeling uneasy for some reason recently. She put down her account book and pressed the pulse between her eyebrows, feeling a little headache. She had made too many enemies in Kyoto, and even those who were unfavorable to her could name a lot of them. If something happened,
It can only be blocked by soldiers and covered by water and earth.
Kang Yanning handed the account book in his hand to Huai Li and praised him sincerely, "You did a great job. Even I couldn't do so much in a short time."
Hearing this, Huai Li rarely let out a smile. Her family was in ruins, and the burden on her body was extremely heavy. Her brother was taken away again, and she had a lot to think about and worry about every day. Until she took Yanyulou and became busy,
Instead, she was able to sleep until she woke up naturally, and her thoughts were no longer so heavy.
It was getting late, and Kang Yanning was about to leave. She walked to Huaili and patted her shoulder, "I have found out where your brother is now. He is with the imperial doctor in the palace, and there is an imperial doctor by his side.
You don’t have to worry about your health.”
She lowered her voice, "What we are doing is dangerous, so why don't you leave your brother there first? I will send someone who can pass the letter to take care of her, and you can communicate. After the matter is over, bring your brother out. What do you think?
?”
She didn't know why, but when Chai Tao said the same thing, Huaili didn't believe it at all. She just felt that he had another purpose. But when Kang Yanning said it, she felt that this must be the best solution.
.
Huaili nodded, "It would be best if someone takes care of her."
Kang Yanning nodded, "Then you should write a letter first and I will send someone to deliver it tomorrow."
It's funny to say that the third prince, relying on Concubine Shu to be in charge of the harem, actually put Huai Li's brother in a place where only a few men could enter the harem, the imperial doctor's office. By some strange combination of circumstances, he actually found it for his brother.
A good place to take care of yourself.
Huaili didn't make Kang Yanning wait any longer. He said he was safe and gave the letter to Kang Yanning. Kang Yanning folded it carefully and put it in his arms with great care. "Don't worry, your brother will reply to the letter soon."
Huaili knew very well that Kang Yanning was not from the court, and it must have taken a lot of connections to find her brother. She was a little more moved, so she thanked her seriously. Kang Yanning smiled, turned around and left.
Because she had Diao Qi to protect her, Kang Yanning asked her two maids to stay at home every time she went out.
Today, Kang Yanning had just walked a few steps out of Yanyu Building when she felt something was not right in the air. Today, there were no busy vendors on both sides of the street. There was such a big fight... Kang Yanning gave up going back to Yanyu Building. Instead, as if she was ignorant, she continued
Walk towards the alley after all.
Diao Qi also noticed something was wrong and instead of observing in the dark, he walked out and stood beside her, "It's not right today."
Kang Yanning nodded lightly, "Be careful."
Diao Qi stood beside Kang Yanning in a protective manner. The two stood side by side, looking around warily.
"Whoa." An arrow shot straight towards Kang Yanning's face.
Diao Qi immediately pushed Kang Yanning aside, tore off a corner of his outer robe, turned over, and grabbed a poison-quenched sharp arrow with his bare hands.
Diao Qi threw it away, fearing that this was a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so he hurried back to Kang Yanning and said, "Are you okay?"
Kang Yanning shook her head. The two of them were not relaxed. The chilly feeling in the air came to their faces. This familiar routine made Kang Yanning breathe a sigh of relief. She had already guessed who it was.
She lowered her voice and said to Diao Qi, "Just pretend to be attracted for a while, and I will let them kidnap me."
Diao Qi was startled, and Kang Yanning said, "Don't worry. He will send me back safely in less than three seconds."
Hearing Kang Yanning's determination, Diao Qi also knew that Kang Yanning had an idea, and he nodded slightly.
In an instant, veiled men in black appeared from all directions in the alley. Diao Qi fought with the two, pretending to be lured further and further away.
Kang Yanning stood there and suddenly felt a darkness on her head. At the same time, her body was being lifted up. She did not struggle, pushed the crossbow in her sleeve back into her sleeve, and allowed the man in black to put it on her.
Sack, carry yourself away.
There was only the panting voice of the man in black. Counting the time, it was time for the next scene. Sure enough, after a while, there were more footsteps, and the man in black seemed to have arrived. He put her down and said to the others, "
Today, this person is extremely difficult to capture, and there is actually a strong martial artist by his side."
Another voice added, "It's good if you kidnap her. We can probably sell a lady like this for a lot of money."
Kang Yanning mentally snorted, today's scene is a human trafficking scene.
She followed the script obediently, pretending to be horrified, and said in a panic, "You...are you going to sell me?"
The man raised his voice and looked fierce, "Of course. We have sold a lot of people like you and will sell you to a brothel to serve those men."
Kang Yanning almost laughed. This actor was so unprofessional. He didn't even ask any questions. He poured the beans first, for fear that she wouldn't know.
Seeing that Kang Yanning didn't speak, the man thought she was extremely scared, and threatened, "Don't even think about shouting, or we will pull out your tongue and rape you..."
Kang Yanning looked like Nonuo and said no more.
The man in black thought he had frightened her. He smiled with satisfaction and glanced at the people around him. Then the man in black lifted Kang Yanning on his shoulders and walked to the right as his master asked.
After walking for a moment, the man in black suddenly stopped and said, "No, someone is coming."
Kang Yanning was still covered in a sack. She could only prick up her ears and listen to what was going on outside. She only heard a large number of people rushing here, and someone shouted "Here! They are here..."
The sound of cavalry suddenly struck. The man in black seemed a little frightened and said, "Go, go back..."
It seemed that before he finished speaking, the cavalry arrived. Kang Yanning heard the sound of a scabbard being drawn out, and the man stopped talking.
Immediately afterwards, there was a series of "Ah..."
The voice of "Hero, spare your life...".
The man who was carrying Kang Yanning was hiding around. It seemed that he could no longer escape, and threw Kang Yanning to the ground. Before Kang Yanning could cry out in pain, he heard a "poof..." and everything around him became silent.
Kang Yanning knew that the play was over, and changed her expressionless face to one of panic. Sure enough, suddenly there was a light in front of her eyes, and someone took the sack off her head.
Kang Yanning was a little dazed by the light. She blinked a few tears. She adjusted her posture and looked against the light to see the face of the person in front of her.
The third prince was looking at her tenderly, squatting down and untying the sack for her.
Kang Yanning was not surprised at all. As the third prince untied the sack, she calmly looked around. There were nearly ten masked men in black on the ground, all of whom had their throats sealed with a sword, and some even had their heads cut off.
set.
The third prince attacked, but he was really ruthless. I thought it was just a show, and the third prince would leave his own people alone no matter what, but he didn't expect that he would kill and silence him.
Seeing the third prince looking back at her, she brushed away the hand that the third prince was trying to hold. Kang Yanning gave her a gentle blessing, with tears on her face, "Thank you to the third prince for saving your life."
It's always beautiful when a beauty sheds tears. The third prince thought it was Kang Yanning who was frightened. Before he could recover, his voice became even gentler, "I was passing by the Yanyu Tower and saw your bodyguard running back to the Yanyu Tower and saying that you were being held hostage. Hurry up.
Follow the road." He looked up and down with concern and politeness, "Are you okay?"
Kang Yanning shook his head and ignored the loopholes in his words. Since it was a play, the protagonist still had to do the whole thing. "Fortunately, the third prince arrived in time, and Yan Ning was fine."
"That's good. Those people..." he said with a hint of temptation, "are so audacious. Do you know who they are? They actually kidnapped you."
"I heard from them that they are human traffickers. They probably do this kind of thing all year round. It was my unlucky fate that caught their eye,"
Seeing that Kang Yanning believed it and looked a little depressed, the third prince breathed a sigh of relief and tried to reassure him, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you back to the mansion."
The third prince escorted Kang Yanning all the way back to his residence. He wanted to gain Kang Yanning's favor, but seeing Kang Yanning's languor, he did not dare to say anything more.
Kang Yanning also pretended not to understand what he wanted to say. When she arrived at the gate of the palace, she said with a smile, "Yanning is really shocked today. I will thank the third prince in person another day."
Although he didn't gain favor with Prince Kang today, he had gained something from Kang Yanning. The third prince suppressed his emotions and advised, "It's not worth your thanks. It's just a small effort. Go back and rest quickly."
Kang Yanning got off the donkey along the slope, ignored him, turned around and returned to his house.
