Chapter 72 Shen Tang is Kidnapped

Chapter 72 Shen Tang is Kidnapped

In fact, Shen Tang had almost finished eating, and after a few more bites, she put down her chopsticks.

Seeing that she had only touched about the amount of food she usually ate, Meng Huaiyan didn't try to persuade her to eat more.

After sitting for a while, Shen Tang felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach and prepared to get up to go to the bathroom.

Meng Huaiyan noticed her movement, grabbed her hand, and asked, "Where are we going?"

Shen Tang leaned down and whispered something in his ear.

The distance between them instantly closed, and Shen Tang's breath sprayed against his ear, making him feel a little tingly. Meng Huaiyan suppressed the urge to rub his ear and said to Shen Tang.

"It's cold outside, put on your cloak."

"good."

Shen Tang followed the palace maid to the washroom. She was not familiar with the area of ​​the East Palace, until she saw the palace maid leading her to a more and more remote place.

Shen Tang felt a chill run down her spine, sensing something was amiss. She stopped and spoke to the palace maid.

"Isn't this the way to the washroom?"

The palace maid gave her a cold laugh: "Princess Consort, you're not too stupid, but it's too late!"

Shen Tang: "!!!"

Just what I feared most happened. How unlucky she was! She finally managed to go out, and this happened.

Shen Tang quickly turned around and ran back the way she came, shouting Youlan's name as she ran.

But instead of seeing Youlan, she was met with a vicious chop to the back of her neck by the palace maid.

Shen Tang's body went limp instantly, and she fell uncontrollably to the ground.

In the last second before losing consciousness, Shen Tang couldn't help but lament inwardly, "Why did Youlan suddenly let me down at this crucial moment?!"

When Shen Tang woke up, she felt a dull pain in the back of her neck. She tried to rub her neck, only to find that her hands and feet were tightly bound with hemp rope.

She struggled for a while, but when she realized she couldn't move an inch, she gave up and stopped wasting her energy.

She looked around and saw that she was in a carriage. The carriage was moving very fast, and through the fluttering curtains, she could see that it was already completely dark outside.

She was knocked unconscious around noon, and now, more than half a day has passed, and Meng Huaiyan's men still haven't come looking for her.

It seems that kidnapping her was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather a premeditated plan. The person behind the successful kidnapping of her in the Eastern Palace and then smoothly taking her out of the city must be someone of considerable influence.

She has been kept confined to the manor by Meng Huaiyan recently and has not gone out at all, let alone offended anyone.

From this perspective, it can only mean that Meng Huaiyan has offended someone.

He had many guards around him, and he knew martial arts, so it was naturally difficult for him to make a move. He could only pick on her, the easy target.

Thinking of this, Shen Tang closed her eyes, somewhat speechless. Meng Huaiyan, that unlucky guy...

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally came to a stop.

The carriage curtain was suddenly flung open by a large hand, and a man dressed in black came into view. Before Shen Tang could get a good look, the man roughly grabbed her arm, dragged her off the carriage, and threw her to the ground.

Shen Tang fell to the ground, his mouth full of dirt, and he quickly spat it out several times.

"......"

Shen Tang was so angry that she forgot her fear and glared angrily at the man in black.

The man in black gave her a sharp look, then tossed her a pancake: "Eat quickly, so you can get on your way."

Shen Tang was intimidated by his gaze. Now that she was at his mercy, she decided it was best not to anger him.

Shen Tang raised her hands to gesture at him: "How am I supposed to eat if you tie me up like this?"

The man in black seemed to only then realize that she was tied up, and came over to untie her ropes.

Shen Tang shook her slightly numb hand, then picked up the pancake and slowly began to eat it.

Seeing that she was eating slowly, the man impatiently yelled, "Eat faster!"

Shen Tang deliberately ate slowly to stall for time. The fact that the man in black hadn't killed her after holding her hostage for so long and had even given her food proved that the person behind her wouldn't take her life for the time being.

If she can stall for as long as possible until Meng Huaiyan comes looking for her, then she will have a chance to be saved.

This was the first time Shen Tang had ever looked forward to Meng Huaiyan's arrival so much. Although Meng Huaiyan was annoying, at least he was safe from harm if he was by her side.

She cherishes her life very much.

Shen Tang didn't dare to confront the man in black, and pitifully said, "It's not that I don't want to eat fast, it's just that I've always eaten like this since I was little. We women don't have mouths as big as you men, this is already the fastest I can eat."

Upon hearing this, the man in black frowned deeply and said with disdain, "You women are such a hassle!"

"......"

Shen Tang was speechless. How dare you look down on us women? Are you not born of a woman?

Shen Tang took a big bite of the pancake and couldn't help but secretly roll her eyes at him.

While the man turned around to get a water bottle to feed the horse, Shen Tang quickly picked up a stone from the ground and quietly drew two marks, one long and one short, on the tree behind her.

After the man in black finished feeding the horse water, he turned around and saw that Shen Tang still had half a pancake in her hand. His eyes were full of impatience: "If you don't want to eat it, then don't!"

"Eat, eat, eat." Seeing that he was really about to get angry, Shen Tang quickly sped up her eating of the pancake.

Who knows when the next meal will be? Filling my stomach is still very important.

Seeing that she had finally finished eating, the man in black picked up the rope and tied her hands tightly.

While he was tying the ropes, Shen Tang cautiously asked, "Where are you taking me?"

To her surprise, the man immediately held a sword to her neck without any hesitation, and said viciously, "Shut up! Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

"......"

Shen Tang wisely kept quiet.

Seeing that she had shut up, the man grabbed her and threw her back into the carriage.

The carriage sped along, and as time went by, Shen Tang gradually felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier. She pinched her hand, trying to stay awake.

But in the end, I couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.

Shen Tang was awakened by hunger. She looked out of the carriage and saw that it was already broad daylight. This man had actually traveled all night.

Shen Tang's stomach was growling with hunger, and just when she could no longer bear it, the carriage finally stopped.

The man repeated what he had done the night before, grabbing her and throwing her to the ground.

This time, Shen Tang was on guard. The moment she fell to the ground, she pursed her lips tightly, and finally didn't swallow a mouthful of dirt.

The man came over, untied her ropes, and still threw her a piece of bread.

Shen Tang ate the cake slowly, while secretly observing the man's actions, wanting to find an opportunity to leave another mark.

But when she saw the man's face, she was stunned. Why did this face look so familiar?
