The courtyard is brightly lit.
Zhaoyang's personal maid Yun'er went to the princess' bedroom to serve as usual at night. When she opened the door, she found that the princess, who was lying on the bed to rest, was missing. Yun'er was extremely anxious. The princess was missing and she was at a loss as to what to do.
Shen Wei put on her clothes and stood up.
Cai Ping opened the door, and the cold wind mixed with rain blew in her face, making Shen Wei shiver.
It was raining heavily and it was a cold night.
The villa was in chaos and everyone was at a loss as to what to do. Shen Wei cleared her throat and ordered in a cold voice: "Miss Yun'er, don't be anxious. Tell me how many servants and guards there are in the other courtyard."
Yun'er replied hastily, "Six guards, two cooks, six maids, a gardener and a doorman."
Shen Wei nodded, quickly thinking of a countermeasure in her mind, and said calmly: "Wake up everyone, the guards and palace maids go to the lake to look for the princess. The gardener and the gatekeeper stay in the other courtyard. As for the two cooks, let them make cold soup and hangover soup overnight.
At this time, the gates of Yanjing City were closed. When the city gates open tomorrow, Yun'er, you should immediately go to the palace to find help. ”
Shen Wei took all the measures in place in the shortest possible time. Luoyue Lake is outside the city. The city gates are closed at night and no one is allowed to enter the city late at night.
As for the cold soup, it was prepared for the guards and palace maids who were out looking for the princess; the sobering soup was prepared for the drunk Doctor Mo. If the princess returns, she will definitely need Doctor Mo to take her pulse and diagnose her.
After a pause, Shen Wei warned everyone again: "The princess is a royal concubine, the most beloved daughter of the emperor and empress. If anything happens to the princess, everyone present will be buried with her."
Everyone was shocked and followed Shen Wei's arrangement to look for Princess Zhaoyang.
"Master, you are pregnant. Go back to the house and wait for news." Caiping was worried about Chen Wei's health and helped Chen Wei back to the house.
Shen Wei sat in the room, listening to the dull and rising footsteps outside.
Shen Wei guessed that Zhaoyang might have sneaked out on his own. Recalling Princess Zhaoyang's various behaviors during the day, Shen Wei guessed that Zhaoyang should have gone to have a private meeting with Yan Yunting.
Chen Wei sighed secretly in her heart. She was such a good princess, but she couldn't see her own heart clearly. She was born with a love-brain and did too many willful and reckless things.
No matter how good the medicine is, it can't cure her love brain.
Only by experiencing the baptism of a storm can the innocent princess see the turbidity of this world.
Shen Wei didn't sleep well that night. When it was dawn, it was still drizzling outside. Chen Wei got up and heard from Cai Ping that there was a heavy rain last night and the water level of Luoyue Lake had risen. The guards had a hard time searching in the rain, and two guards almost fell into the lake and drowned.
After searching for a long time, I finally saw a broken red lantern in the East Pavilion of Luoyue Lake.
The guards guessed that Zhaoyang might have fallen into the lake.
The rain was so heavy that it was difficult to find Zhaoyang in the water. When the rain subsided in the second half of the night, the guards risked their lives, with some going into the water to look for Zhaoyang's "corpse" while others continued to conduct a carpet search along the lakeside.
"Master, if something happens to Princess Zhaoyang, we will probably be implicated as well." Caiping lowered her head dejectedly.
Shen Wei drank a bowl of calming tea and said, "Look for him again. If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body."
If Princess Zhaoyang died, Shen Wei could save her life, but the palace maids and guards who served Zhaoyang would probably all be killed.
At this time, the palace maid Yun'er exclaimed in surprise outside the house: "The princess is back! Someone come quickly!"
Shen Wei put down the tea bowl with a snap and walked quickly towards the gate of the villa. The sky was not yet completely bright, and the gray morning light was mixed with fine rain falling. At the gate of the villa, Zhaoyang, soaking wet, appeared with an expressionless face.
She looked utterly miserable.
The gilded red dress she was wearing was torn into tatters, and the hem was covered in mud and sand.
Zhaoyang's cheeks were red and swollen, and there were clearly visible palm prints on his cheeks with blue edges, which showed that the attacker had hit him very hard. There were also several deep and shallow scars on her torn clothes, and blood was seeping from some places.
Her hair had already been messed up by the rain and was now scattered over her shoulders. She was tightly clenching a golden hairpin in her hand. The head of the hairpin was covered in blood, and the originally sharp part was even bent and deformed.
Her face was empty, like a blood-red red spider lily crawling out of hell.
"Princess!" Yun'er, who was serving Zhaoyang, burst into tears.
There was no expression on Zhaoyang's face, as if he was a numb puppet. Shen Wei quickly stepped forward and held Zhaoyang’s cold hand: “Princess, please go into the house and change your clothes.”
Zhaoyang's confused eyes fell on Shen Wei. She opened her mouth and said, "I'm so ridiculous..."
His body tilted and fell on Shen Wei.
Shen Wei supported the fainted Princess Zhaoyang and touched Zhaoyang's forehead, which was burning hot.
Chen Wei immediately said, "Cai Ping, bring the ginger soup cooked in the kitchen and give it to the guards and palace maids who are out looking for the princess. Yun Er, go and get Dr. Mo."
There was a lot of noise in the villa last night, but it didn't wake up the drunk Doctor Mo.
Shen Wei asked the palace maid to help the fainted Zhaoyang into the house.
Zhaoyang's clothes were soaked, and the palace maid immediately changed Zhaoyang into a dry dress. Shen Wei watched from the side, frowning secretly.
There were several slap marks on Zhaoyang's face and the skin at the corners of his mouth was broken. There were also many scratches on the back of her originally fair hands. The clothes on her body were torn and tattered, as if they had been torn apart by brute force.
What happened?
"Master Shen, Dr. Mo is here." Yun'er's eyes were red as she dragged Dr. Mo here.
Dr. Mo had a hangover and a splitting headache. He pressed his aching temple: "The princess is missing? Then why didn't anyone call me last night..."
Doctor Mo's clothes were baggy and his hair was messy.
Seeing the state of Doctor Mo, Shen Wei frowned and ordered Yun'er: "Yun'er, go to the kitchen and bring the hangover soup to Doctor Mo. In addition, don't spread the news of the princess' disappearance for the time being, otherwise it will be bad for the princess's reputation."
Yun'er naturally knew the seriousness of the matter. She nodded with tears in her eyes and turned to go to the kitchen to get the prepared hangover soup.
After drinking a bowl of sobering soup, Doctor Mo felt much more sober.
Chen Wei dismissed the other servants, leaving only the unconscious Zhao Yang, Chen Wei, Yun Er and Doctor Mo in the room.
Doctor Mo was in a depressed mood. After drinking the sobering soup, he gave himself an injection to refresh himself. Then he sat down beside the bed, yawning, and took the princess's pulse.
He paused, and his originally confused eyes suddenly cleared up. Doctor Mo narrowed his eyes and said, "Take off the princess's clothes, so I can see her back."
