Shangguan Wanning opened her eyes wide and looked at the masked woman in front of her, biting her lips tightly.
"Don't worry, I won't let you die so soon. You hurt him so badly, I want you to pay ten times or a hundred times the price."
he?
Mu Jingrui's figure immediately appeared in Shangguan Wanning's mind.
Could it be that she was sent by Mu Jingrui?
Before she had time to think carefully, Chu Xiaolian knocked her unconscious with a palm.
Mu Jingrui was walking back after the morning court session when he heard the sound of orderly footsteps passing by from time to time.
He lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked out, and found that the soldiers from Jingzhao Prefecture were searching the entire place.
"stop."
When passing the intersection, a team of soldiers from Jingzhao Prefecture came over and saluted Mu Jingrui with their fists clasped.
"What's up?"
"Please forgive me, Lord Mu. I have been ordered to check all the pedestrians, carriages and sedan chairs passing by."
Mu Jingrui didn't want to embarrass these people, so he got off the sedan chair without waiting for his followers to start cursing, motioned for them to search, and asked casually, "What happened?"
"Last night, Princess An Ning was abducted from the Prime Minister's residence. This incident alarmed the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother issued an imperial decree, asking Jingzhao Prefecture to assist the Prime Minister's residence and visit Princess An Ning as soon as possible..."
Mu Jingrui's face changed slightly, and the hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists.
Shangguan Wanning was taken away by someone? Who could it be?
The fierce aura emanating from him made the officers and soldiers involuntarily take a few steps back.
Almost everyone in the capital knew that Shangguan Wanning was Mu Jingrui's future wife, but...
"Master Mu, the inspection has been completed..."
"go back."
Mu Jingrui got into the sedan chair without waiting for the officer to finish his words.
He was feeling somewhat uneasy, and suddenly he felt someone was following his sedan chair.
The sedan chair turned into an alley and Mu Jingrui asked the bearer to stop.
"Sir, why do you stop here?"
"I need to do something, you guys leave."
The sedan bearers were all puzzled, but they did not dare to go against Mu Jingrui's wishes, so they walked away.
Not long after, a figure flew down from Gao Qiang.
"Why are you following me?"
As soon as Mu Jingrui stepped out of the sedan chair, he saw Chu Xiaolian dressed in women's clothes.
His indifference made Chu Xiaolian a little annoyed. She suppressed her unhappiness and said, "I know why you have been worried these days. I will take you to a place and promise you...ah..."
Before Chu Xiaolian could finish her words, Mu Jingrui grabbed her wrist and twisted it backwards.
His strength was so great that Chu Xiaolian was powerless to resist.
"Mu Jingrui, what are you going to do?"
"Let me ask you, did you capture Shangguan Wanning?"
Chu Xiaolian stopped struggling, she looked into Mu Jingrui's eyes and admitted it frankly.
"That's right. This woman betrayed you at the border, and betrayed you again when she returned to the capital. You lost your appetite and couldn't sleep at night because of her. I want to do it for you..."
"My business... is none of your business."
As if he was unwilling to have his secrets exposed, Mu Jingrui interrupted Chu Xiaolian's chattering and increased the strength of his palm, causing Chu Xiaolian's expression to be distorted with pain.
"Where did you hide her?"
Facing Mu Jingrui's questioning, Chu Xiaolian reluctantly replied: "I'll take you there now... I just want to help you teach her a lesson..."
Mu Jingrui's heart skipped a beat.
"Walk."
Chu Xiaolian was pushed by Mu Jingrui and let go.
She looked down at her wrist, which was bloodshot, and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
Shangguan Wanning was awakened by a burst of light laughter. She slowly opened her eyes and saw three ugly faces surrounding her.
She was so frightened that she subconsciously got up and hid behind him.
Huh? Can I move my body?
Shangguan Wanning's mind went blank, and her only thought was to escape.
She had just stood up when she felt a sharp pain in her ankle and fell to the ground.
Three ragged, smelly men rushed towards her with drooling mouths and couldn't wait to tear her clothes off.
Shangguan Wanning was so frightened that her whole body turned cold, and she struggled and beat herself up desperately.
The more she resisted, the more excited the three men became.
"Go away...don't touch me..."
Shangguan Wanning had never felt so helpless as she did now, as if the whole world had abandoned her.
"hiss!"
The torn clothes made Shangguan Wanning completely desperate.
Suddenly, she heard a sharp scream and felt the hands holding her loosen.
She got up in panic and hid in the corner, shivering until a long gown with body temperature was wrapped around her.
"Ning'er, it's okay...it's okay..."
Sun Jinyao's voice was trembling. He couldn't imagine what would happen if he was a step later.
He was so excited that he took Shangguan Wanning into his arms.
Shangguan Wanning leaned on Sun Jinyao's chest, her hands tightly grasping his clothes.
"Brother Yao...I'm so scared..."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Ning'er, I won't let this happen again, absolutely not."
Sun Jinyao took a deep breath to calm himself down, picked up Shangguan Wanning and walked out, where he met Mu Jingrui who had come running over.
When Chu Xiaolian saw Shangguan Wanning's appearance, she was stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter.
"Princess An Ning, how does it feel to be served by three ugly and dirty men at the same time?"
Sun Jinyao's face turned pale, and even Mu Jingrui's expression changed.
Those three people... succeeded?
No, it's impossible!
Mu Jingrui was furious and couldn't accept it no matter what.
"I'm so sorry to disappoint you two." Sun Jinyao never thought that Mu Jingrui would use such despicable means to retaliate against Shangguan Wanning.
Two of the masked men who broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday were captured, but they all committed suicide by severing their own meridians.
He overheard the conversation between Zheng's father and son and learned that this was a killer from the Soul-Catching Hall.
So, Sun Jinyao quietly started his investigation from underworld figures, and finally found the branch of the Soul-Capture Hall.
Fortunately... just one step away.
"What?" Chu Xiaolian was a little bit unbelievable. She looked into the house and sure enough, the three beggars she had found had died.
She looked at Sun Jinyao angrily, her eyes full of murderous intent.
"Brother Yao... I want to go home..." Shangguan Wanning curled up in Sun Jinyao's arms and trembled.
Her appearance made Mu Jingrui feel heartbroken.
"good."
Sun Jinyao passed by Mu Jingrui holding Shangguan Wanning.
Their eyes met, and Shangguan Wanning's scarlet eyes were sparkling with tears.
"So...we..."
Shangguan Wanning choked with sobs and could no longer speak, so Sun Jinyao took her away from this place.
Chu Xiaolian was furious and hated Sun Jinyao for ruining her plan.
"I just don't believe it. She's so lucky every time. I... uh..."
