Yuan Wanru transmigrated into a book and, by a twist of fate, married the male lead, Lu Jiangnian. Before their marriage, he coldly and heartlessly declared, “I will marry you, but I will never a...
Chapter 362 Planning to Risk Going Alone to Save People
Sun Huanzhi had just stepped into his courtyard and had not had time to sit down and drink a sip of tea. He was about to order someone to go out and look for Sun Haining when the doorman came running in and reported: "My Lord, a little beggar has brought a letter and asked you to open it in person."
Sun Huanzhi frowned slightly. On the envelope, there were five neatly written words: "Personally from Prince Sun".
A trace of uneasiness flashed through his heart. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and carefully opened the envelope through the cloth.
The moment the letter was unfolded, Sun Huanzhi's pupils suddenly shrank.
The few words on the paper pierced his heart like a sharp knife:
Tomorrow morning, let Yuan Wanru go to Ziyun Temple at the foot of Dufeng Mountain in the western suburbs alone. Otherwise, at noon tomorrow, Sun Haining will appear naked at the city gate as a birthday gift to Madam Sun.
Also: If the news is leaked out, then just wait for Sun Haining to be killed.
Sun Huanzhi's hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and his knuckles turned white from the force.
He slammed the letter down on the table, causing the teacup to clink.
"How dare you!" He gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with anger, "Someone! Go find Xuanying immediately!"
-
At the same time, in the Lingshui Residence of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, Yuan Wanru was concentrating on grinding medicinal herbs.
Since Lu Jiangnian left Beijing, she has spent most of her time in the pharmacy. Without Lu Jiangnian's interference, she has been fully focused on this matter and is very efficient.
"Madam, the eldest young master," Liu Zhi walked in quietly with a happy look on her face, "Young Master Su from Qihuangzhai has arrived in the capital with his father today."
Yuan Wanru paused with the pestle in her hand, and a smile suddenly appeared between her eyebrows: "Really? Is Su Shaodong okay?"
Liuzhi nodded: "Yes, I saw Xuanhuang in the yard just now, and he asked me to report to the eldest young master's wife."
Yuan Wanru put down the pestle and patted the powder on her hands: "That's good."
In her heart, Su Shaodong is already her good friend. Now that her friend has returned, she is naturally happy.
"Please tell Su Shaodong that I will go to Qihuangzhai when I am free some other day."
She thought of Doctor Tang.
I feel a little heavy.
Doctor Tang has lived for so many years, and the belief that keeps him going is revenge.
However, the Su family father and son had worked hard for him for many years, and they certainly did not want to see Doctor Tang die.
Now Imperial Doctor Tang is still in the Emperor's hands, and his life or death is unknown. She should find a time to explain this matter to the father and son of the Su family.
Why!
I hope that Doctor Tang can survive.
He was a victim in the first place. If the emperor was wise enough, he should spare his life.
Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps outside the door.
Xuanying appeared at the door with a serious expression, and beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Madam, the prince," Xuanying clasped his fists and saluted, his voice low, "something happened, Miss Sun was kidnapped."
The medicine bag in Yuan Wanru's hand fell to the ground with a "bang", and the medicinal materials were scattered all over the floor.
She stood up suddenly, her face turned pale instantly: "What did you say? When did Haining...?"
"This morning." Xuanying said solemnly, "Prince Sun received a letter, in which the other party specifically asked you to go to Ziyun Temple alone tomorrow, otherwise..."
"What else?" Yuan Wanru's voice was tense.
Xuanying hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "Otherwise, at noon tomorrow, Miss Sun will appear at the city gate... naked."
Yuan Wanru gasped, staggered back half a step, and held onto the medicine shelf to steady herself.
Liuzhi hurried forward to support her, but was gently pushed away by her.
"Liang family..." Yuan Wanru squeezed out these two words from between her teeth, with a cold light flashing in her eyes, "How dare they attack Haining!"
Xuanying continued, "What Sun Shizi meant is to first calm Madam Sun down. He wants you to write a letter saying that Miss Sun is staying at the Marquis's residence tonight and will not be returning to the Sun residence for the time being."
Yuan Wanru smiled bitterly and shook her head: "If it were any other day, this lie might be acceptable."
"But tomorrow is Madam Sun's birthday. No matter how foolish Haining is, he won't stay out overnight at this time."
She took a deep breath and said, "You should go tell Prince Sun or Madam Sun the truth."
Xuanying frowned: "The prince is worried that the news will leak out. There are too many spies in the palace. If we alert the enemy, Miss Sun's safety will be in danger..."
"I see."
Yuan Wanru interrupted him and paced back and forth in the pharmacy, "But I can't hide it from Madam Sun."
"A mother is strong. For Haining's sake, Madam Sun will definitely keep things stable."
Otherwise, they would have to devote some of their energy to lying to Madam Sun.
She stopped and looked determined: "Besides, to save Haining, we need the help of the Sun Mansion. If we hide it from Madam Sun, we will be restricted."
-
Xuanying pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Madam, you have thought it through. I will go and reply to the Crown Prince Sun right away."
"Wait." Yuan Wanru stopped him, "Tell Sun Shizi that if I can't find Haining tonight, I will be there on time tomorrow."
There was a sharp gleam in her eyes. She couldn't bear to watch Sun Haining being abused like this.
No matter how strong Sun Haining is, she is still a girl. It would be too cruel if she really fell to that point.
The pharmacy suddenly became quiet; even the chirping of cicadas outside the window seemed to have stopped.
Xuanying immediately refused: "No, the prince has given his subordinates a death order, not allowing Madam to take risks."
Yuan Wanru's eyes darkened, and her slender fingers clenched the edge of the medicine cabinet, her knuckles turning white from the force. "Xuan Ying," she said in a low but unquestionable voice, "Listen carefully, I'm not asking for consent."
Today she was wearing a plain dress with narrow sleeves, a leather belt around her waist, and a white jade hairpin in her hair. She exuded a solemn and murderous aura.
Xuanying knelt on one knee and said, "Forgive me, I cannot agree to your request."
Yuan Wanru took two steps at a time and walked to Xuan Ying, looking down at him: "Then tell me, if it were you, would you watch your best friend being humiliated?"
Xuanying's Adam's apple rolled, but he still insisted: "I will find another way..."
"It's too late!"
"The deadline is tomorrow at noon, and we don't even know where Haining is hidden."
She took a deep breath and said, "I am just preparing for the worst. If I can find Haining before that, I will definitely not take any risks."
Liuzhi had never seen his master like this before, so he quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.
Yuan Wanru waved her hand to refuse and continued to say to Xuanying: "Just think about it, the Liang family hates me so much. They specifically asked me to go, so they must have some ulterior motive. What's more, I have a lot of life-saving things in my hands, such as Liang Yusong's poison and the second prince's poison..."
"Even if they want to kill me, does the Second Prince dare to take the risk of not having an erection for the rest of his life?"
"After I throw out these baits, they will definitely not dare to kill me. Instead, they will protect me. Therefore, there will be no problem with my life."
"But Henin is different."
"She is just a bargaining chip. Once she loses her usefulness..."
The words were not finished, but the chill in them made Liuzhi unconsciously tense his back.
Xuanying certainly knew that what Yuan Wanru said was very reasonable.
However, Yuan Wanru was his master: "Madam, I still..."
Yuan Wanru stopped trying to persuade him: "Xuanying, do you think I need to give you some medicine and let you sleep for two days before you will behave yourself?"
threaten!
A naked threat!
Xuanying had seen the Madam's methods, and he couldn't guarantee that he could escape unscathed from her hands.
In this case, he can only obey orders. If the prince blames him when he comes back, he will accept the punishment.
"I will write to the Duke's Mansion right away."
