Chapter 105 Rescue

There were many iron cages in the dark room, and inside them were naked women. Their long hair was loose, either covering their faces or revealing only their disfigured faces. Only their bodies did not have a single scar.

The women didn't dare to look at Xu Qingyan and the others, but they just kept shaking.

Seeing this, Xu Qingyan quickly said to the secret guards: "They are all women, cover your eyes and don't look!"

After hearing the voice, a few of the braver women raised their eyes slightly and looked towards Xu Qingyan.

"Wow..." When some people saw clearly that Xu Qingyan was a strange woman, they couldn't help but cry with excitement.

They have been locked up here for too long, have experienced a lot of inhumane torture, and have seen too many horrible and disgusting things.

Now, seeing the strange woman in front of them, they didn’t know whether she was good or bad, but as long as she was a stranger, their desire to survive made them instinctively cry excitedly.

"Stop crying, I will find a way to rescue you!" Xu Qingyan hurried forward to comfort them.

The most urgent thing was to help them put on their clothes! She searched around in the dark room and luckily found their clothes piled together in a corner. She threw them on each of them and asked the secret guards to find a way to break the shackles on the women.

After Xu Qingyan had them packed up one by one, she prepared to let the secret guards take them out of the dark room. She counted and there were about eight women here. There were exactly eight secret guards brought over, three of them went to the backyard to divert attention, and the remaining five followed her. She arranged for four secret guards to take two each, and the remaining one could protect herself.

But just when Xu Qingyan was about to leave, a woman suddenly stopped her, looked at her pitifully and said, "There are two more women here, can you take them out too?"

Hearing this, Xu Qingyan turned back in confusion and said, "Where is there anyone here?"

Xu Qingyan looked around and said, "I don't see anyone else! Aren't they all standing here?"

But the woman's expression was full of pain. She slowly turned sideways and walked towards a dim corner. She squatted down and pulled aside a piece of dirty bedding, revealing two horrifying corpses!

Xu Qingyan and the others were not mistaken, they were corpses! The two bodies lying on the ground had long lost their skin, leaving only rotten flesh and white bones. I don't know what was smoked in this dark room, there was no rotten smell.

When Xu Qingyan saw the corpse, her face was shocked and her heart was in a panic. This was simply too cruel! She had thought that a pervert like the Third Prince would peel off the skin and make lanterns, but when she really saw the skinned body, it was still extremely terrifying! How twisted must a person's mind be to do such a thing!

"Even if they are dead, they definitely don't want to stay in this place that makes them afraid and in pain. Please, girl, take their bodies out with you!" The woman knelt on the ground and begged Xu Qingyan, her tears falling continuously.

Xu Qingyan was deeply moved when she heard this, and then she looked at the secret guard and said, "Take them out together! You don't have to worry about me."

"Princess Concubine, the young master asked us to protect you, in case you..." The captain of the secret guard said anxiously after hearing this.

"You don't have to worry about me, I have my own way. Now, you must listen to me." The secret guard was a little worried about Xu Qingyan's safety, but was firmly rejected by Xu Qingyan.

With no other options, they had to obey orders and take the woman and the corpse out of the dark room.

After leaving the study, Xu Qingyan asked the secret guards to quietly take all the women out of the prince's mansion, while she took out the chicken blood that she had prepared long ago, smeared some on her face, shoulders, and head, and then quickly fled from the study and ran towards the guest room.

"Help! There's a thief! There's a thief!" After reaching the side room, Xu Qingyan deliberately staggered and shouted while running.

After a while, the servants of the Prince's Mansion came over to hold her. The backyard of the Prince's Mansion was in chaos. The Third Prince's Consort and the others had already rushed over. When the three secret guards responsible for destroying the backyard saw Xu Qingyan appear safely, they immediately found a chance to escape.

"Sister-in-law, how are you? Who hurt you like this?" At this time, Pei Jinyu saw Xu Qingyan's embarrassed appearance and ran over to ask worriedly.

The Third Prince and his wife, who were standing opposite, couldn't help but feel a little surprised when they saw Xu Qingyan's appearance.

Especially the third prince. After hearing that there was a thief in the mansion, he thought it was related to Xu Qingyan. But now seeing Xu Qingyan's miserable appearance, how could he still have any doubts?

It seems that today, the thieves came for his woman. His most beloved concubine was almost kidnapped by that group of thieves. I don’t know who actually wants to steal his woman!

"Some thieves mistook me for a woman from the Third Prince's backyard. When they realized they had caught the wrong person, they beat me up. Have Danyan and Ziyan and the others found me?" Xu Qingyan deliberately acted panic-stricken and looked around for her maid.

After a while, Danyan and Ziyan ran over from the crowd in a panic and said, "Madam, are you okay? It's my fault for not protecting you!"

"Master, I am incompetent. I only found the concubine, but let the thief escape!" At this time, several leading guards of the Prince's Mansion knelt down in front of the Third Prince and said.

Upon hearing this, the Third Prince could not help but get furious and scolded, "Useless! What's the point of keeping you? You can't even catch a few thieves! Concubine, where is she now?"

"The concubine was frightened and has fainted." replied the leading guard.

"Now, take me to see the concubine!" The third prince didn't care about anything else. He turned around and led his people to the concubine's courtyard.

When the Third Prince's wife heard this, her eyes darkened and she gritted her teeth and whispered, "Why didn't you kill that bitch? What a pity!"

After such a commotion in the Prince's Mansion, Xu Qingyan and Pei Jinyu naturally did not stay long. They immediately took their people and left.

In the carriage, Pei Jinyu widened her eyes and looked at Xu Qingyan who was wiping the blood off her face with a handkerchief.

"Sister-in-law, you...are you pretending? Turns out you're fine!" Pei Jinyu said in surprise.

Xu Qingyan threw the handkerchief aside with some disdain and said, "Eh... so fishy! I took the risk of smearing chicken blood all over my face just to clear myself of suspicion."

"Then sister-in-law, was it you who caused the incident in the backyard of the prince's mansion today? By the way, did you succeed in what you wanted to do?" Pei Jinyu asked curiously.

"Okay, I have asked the secret guards to rescue this man. I guess my husband should know about it by now. By the way, what did the Third Prince's wife want to see you for today? She didn't mean to hurt you, did she?" Xu Qingyan suddenly remembered and asked Pei Jinyu.

At this point, Pei Jinyu's expression suddenly became embarrassed and annoyed. She snorted coldly and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know what bad idea the Third Prince's wife has. She actually wants me to be the Third Prince's concubine!"

"What? Be a concubine?" Xu Qingyan was shocked when she heard that.

How could the Third Prince's wife have the nerve to ask this! Pei Jinyu's status was more than enough to be the legal wife, but he actually wanted her to be a concubine!

But what Xu Qingyan and the others didn't know was that the Third Prince originally wanted Pei Jinyu to be his principal wife.

However, the Third Prince's wife held on to a glimmer of hope and wanted to persuade Pei Jinyu to become a concubine so as to keep her own position.
