Now that we've come to Ciyun Temple, there's no reason to leave in a hurry.
Thanks to her beloved husband, Qi Su was quite comfortable at Ciyun Temple.
After enjoying a satisfying vegetarian meal, I also took a nap in a quiet Zen temple.
When Qi Su woke up, seeing that the sun was about to set, she ordered a carriage to be prepared, intending to go back.
A young novice monk from Ciyun Temple brought her a plate of snacks to eat on her journey.
What a coincidence, it's mung bean cake.
Qi Su didn't like to eat it, but when she saw it, she remembered her past experiences at Huatan Temple and couldn't help but pick up a piece.
A mouthful of sweet but not greasy, soft red bean paste.
Hmm... I must have another one?
It wasn't because the mung bean cake was so delicious, but because—this dessert was actually drugged.
It's strange, Qi Su hasn't been drugged in a long time.
Kind-hearted, she ate two pieces so that the plan could be carried out smoothly.
That should be enough.
…
The carriage drove out of the back mountain of Ciyun Temple and headed towards the foot of the mountain in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Qi Su lowered the carriage curtain.
She was very considerate; she was the only one in this carriage, while the maids and servants sent by Lady Song were in another carriage.
I'm actually a little excited about it.
The female relatives of the King of Qishan were robbed by bandits on their way to offer incense at a Buddhist temple, and their whereabouts are unknown.
This topic is sure to ignite the gossip circles in Beijing again.
Which villain did it?
…
Qi Su was kidnapped just as she had hoped.
When she slowly "woke up," she was in a dimly lit room.
Okay, I'll stop pretending. She was awake on the way here.
The people who kidnapped her took a long detour and are probably now at a farm somewhere on the outskirts of Beijing.
A droopy face appeared in front of Qi Su.
Not a villain, but—Yan Xiaosi.
Yan Xiaosi hung upside down from the roof beam, his cold nostrils pointed directly at her.
When are you going back?
Qi Su: "No rush, let's play first and see who's bullying me."
Her voice betrayed her excitement.
Hearing footsteps approaching from afar, they quickly urged Yan Xiaosi to hurry up.
"Hurry up and don't stop me from continuing the game."
Yan Xiaosi...
He silently lit incense for the villain who kidnapped the princess today.
.
The door was pushed open.
The light from the tinderbox shone into Qi Su's eyes.
The newcomer stared at her face for a moment, his voice high-pitched.
"It's her."
...This is so boring, so boring! These lazy villains.
She guessed it.
She had only heard this voice in the palace before; only young eunuchs possessed such a high-pitched voice.
So far, the only person she has openly offended in the palace is King Huai.
Therefore, today's villain is King Huai.
Let's hope he can bring some fresh surprises, :d.
Seeing that the woman had woken up, she did not cry or scream like an ordinary woman, but simply stared at them silently.
His expression still showed some disappointment.
The eunuch holding the tinderbox frowned.
"Be careful, there's something strange about this woman. Even... suffered a loss at her hands; she knows martial arts."
The servant who brought her here respectfully said that the anesthetic had been administered again.
Isn't that right?
We made two more stops along the way.
Even a pig would be bewitched.
Qi Su is now forced to remain motionless due to her "weak persona".
The young eunuch breathed a sigh of relief.
He instructed, "Wait until late at night, then put her in the carriage. Send her into the city at dawn."
After saying that, he gave a cold laugh.
"That prince could never have imagined that his abducted princess had already entered the city."
Qi Su: ...Thank you for thinking of that.
.
Around noon, His Highness Prince Huai finally got up.
He spent last night in the room of the newly captured flower girl.
Wildflowers in the countryside have a unique charm.
She wasn't very obedient; she even resisted and hurt him.
The attack aggravated his old wounds, and in a moment of rage, Prince Huai went a little too far.
As night fell, she indeed obeyed and had a lot of fun.
King Huai yawned and pushed open the door; his advisors had been waiting outside for a long time.
He paced back and forth in the corridor.
They've almost worn the blue bricks under their feet off.
"Your Highness—" His advisors rushed forward when they saw that he was awake.
Behind her, the maid and servant silently carried the flower girl, who was covered in bruises and barely breathing, out of the room.
As for where to send it.
This is already a precedent in the Prince Huai's residence.
Those who are not yet dead, and whose injuries are not serious, and who the prince still finds interesting, will be treated.
The others were either thrown into mass graves outside the city or sold to illegal clinics in the capital.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince's retainer impeached you today." The advisor's face was grave.
King Huai waved his hand dismissively, not taking it seriously.
"What's all the fuss about? Don't those stray dogs impeach me every day?"
"Today is different!"
Seeing that this young master still didn't take it seriously, the staff member almost turned pale.
He leaned closer and whispered:
"It was a spy from Southern Chu who leaked the information, saying that Your Highness is colluding with the Chu army in the south, deceiving the court, raising bandits to enhance your own power, and fraudulently obtaining military merits! Now the whole court and the public are in an uproar! I'm afraid the Emperor will summon you for questioning soon."
King Huai frowned as expected.
Just when his staff thought he was finally taking things seriously, this playboy uttered a single sentence.
"Mr. Zhong, you have bad breath. Did you brush your teeth this morning?"
Staff member: "..."
.
After discussing state affairs with his advisors, King Huai emerged from his study with a gloomy face.
That sixth prince, he actually resorted to underhanded tactics.
Did he think that by capturing a few spies and saying a few words, he could bring down the Great Yan War God?
That's wishful thinking!
Even if His Majesty himself summoned him to explain himself, he would not be afraid.
After all, he was connected to the royal family of Southern Chu.
How could an ordinary spy possibly produce any evidence?
However, being surrounded by a swarm of flies buzzing around your head is still quite unpleasant.
…
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, the servant quickly stepped forward to report it.
"Your Highness, the doe you ordered to be captured has been obtained and has been delivered to the manor."
A light shone in King Huai's cloudy eyes.
Where are they?
The servant said, "It's in the dark dungeon that you usually like to stay in, sir."
King Huai was in high spirits and walked with a brisk pace.
"I'm going to have some fun."
…
Qi Su never expected to see Zhao Yu at the Prince Huai's residence.
Of course, judging from the color of the floor tiles and walls, this place is newly built.
There was also a jailer in the "Little Zhao Prison" of Prince Huai's mansion.
At that moment, the man was trembling with fear, obediently replying to Qi Su.
"It was His Highness Prince Huai. After returning to the capital, he kept hearing things related to the Imperial Prison. He was unhappy about it and said he wanted one too, so..."
He's a talented person.
Your father wants the Great Zhao Prison, you want the Small Zhao Prison.
Although it is similar to the Zhaoyu Prison, more than half of those imprisoned here are women.
The jailer looked troubled, but still explained:
"These women were all abducted by His Highness from outside. His Highness often comes here for his pleasure."
"For fun?"
Qi Su's expression was ambiguous.
"Having fun is good, I like having fun too. What about the men?"
The jailer said, "Those men are all people who have offended His Highness Prince Huai. Some wrote articles criticizing His Highness, while others confronted him directly. His Highness has brought them here to teach them a lesson."
I see.
