Chapter 503 Excuse
In the eyes of the guards, no one would dare to beat the king.
But there are more than one, there are three.
Three masked men appeared together and knocked out King Cheng and the Prince of Song with lightning speed.
He and the secret guard of the Prince of Song were no match for four people.
Knowing that he could not escape unscathed with Prince Cheng and the Duke of Song, he could only find a way to save their lives.
Under the protection of the secret guards of the Prince of Song, he knocked off the mask of one of them.
He thought the three people were the Prince of Yuzhang, the son of the Marquis of Linjiang, and the eldest son of the Minister of War.
After all, King Cheng almost stole Young Master Zhao's girl yesterday. When Young Master Zhao looked at King Cheng, it was obvious that he couldn't help but want to beat him up, but he had to suppress his anger and thank King Cheng for helping him save Miss Ling.
The guards suspected it was them, but the mask fell off, revealing an unfamiliar face.
Not any of the three of them.
When he saw the man's face, he escaped under the protection of the secret guards of the Prince of Song.
If he escapes, King Cheng and the Prince of Song will not be in danger of their lives.
Knocking the prince unconscious is a capital crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the family.
As long as he tells this to the Emperor and the Duke of Song, the man's portrait will be posted all over Kyoto, and he will be doomed.
The guards fled, and Prince Yuzhang and his men did not chase them. Instead, they dismissed the secret guards of the Duke of Song and the Prince of Song, and tied up Prince Cheng and the Duke of Song in sacks.
Um.
The sack was used to prevent them from accidentally hitting King Cheng in the face.
After all, he is a prince, so just consider it as giving the emperor a little face.
It’s just that they lack the experience of beating people with sacks. Once the sack is put on, who knows where the face and the butt are, so they just beat them randomly.
After the beating, untie the sack.
...It’s so miserable.
We can't really kill King Cheng.
Then he found a place with beautiful scenery and hung King Cheng and the Prince of Song there. He would spend more time enjoying the scenery and less time thinking about scheming against others.
He was a prince, and a bunch of people wanted to support him as the crown prince, but he actually poached someone else's...
The Prince of Yuzhang and his men did not feel any fear about beating the prince, but only felt happy about ridding the world of a harm.
Queen Song said coldly, "It may not be them!"
Xiao Yun also suspected the same thing and had already sent people to investigate.
The person who was sent out soon returned and said, "Your Highness, at the time you mentioned, the Prince of Yuzhang, the Marquis of Linjiang, and Young Master Zhao were drinking in Deyue Tower..."
Xiao Yun's eyes narrowed, "Are you sure they haven't left?!"
The guard nodded and said, "I asked the waiter at Deyue Tower, and he said the Prince of Yuzhang and his men have been drinking and eating and have never left."
...Could it be that he guessed wrong?
But they gave him the feeling that there were only three of them.
The secret guards of Prince Yuzhang, Chu Yang and Zhao Ang all felt that their masters were not very smart.
It was obvious that he could let them do the task of beating Cheng Wang, but he chose to disguise himself and go.
It would be fine if they did it themselves, but they were also worried that King Cheng and the Duke of Song would guess that it was them who did it, so they disguised themselves as them and had them pretend to be them drinking in Deyue Tower...
Although they have followed their master for several years, can they easily imitate the prince's annoying temperament?
It's harder than beating someone.
Queen Song said, "No matter who it is, I will find him for me even if I have to turn the whole capital upside down!"
"I will grind them to dust!"
…
On horseback, Shen Wan was worried. After making sure that there was no one around, Shen Wan asked, "Are you sure they won't be caught?"
Xie Jingyu said, "The death penalty for the nine clans is something they dare not take lightly."
Shen Wan confirmed.
The guy behind her is really big.
Shen Wan immediately stopped talking.
When they returned to the Jingbei Palace, a portrait of three masked men, two wearing masks and one with his face exposed, was posted on the notice.
The Prince of Yuzhang and his entourage rode by on horseback and stopped to take a look.
Prince Yuzhang was a little angry.
He spent more than half an hour to disguise his handsome face, but it turned out to be so ugly.
"Let's go find a place to drink."
Chu Yang said, "We're still drinking. We've been drinking in Deyue Tower all morning."
Prince Yuzhang slapped his forehead, wondering how he could have forgotten about this.
"Well, let's go hungry."
Back at Zhaolanxuan, Chen Wan asked the wet nurse to take the two children downstairs to sleep, and she and Xie Jingyu went back to the house.
Shanhu poured them tea. Just as Chen Wan picked up the teacup, there was a knock on the window. "Master..."
It was Chen Ping's voice.
Still a little anxious.
Shengzhou is not close to Kyoto, why did Chen Ping come back so soon?
"Come in."
Almost as soon as Xie Jingyu finished speaking, the window was pushed open and Chen Ping jumped in.
Xie Jingyu asked, "You're back so soon?"
It can't be slow.
Chen Ping said anxiously, "The princess is missing..."
"Missing?!"
Xie Jingyu shook the hand holding the teacup, "How could my mother disappear?!"
Chen Ping said, "I rode my horse as fast as I could to Shengzhou to find the princess at the Jiang family, but was told by the Jiang family that the princess had only stayed there for one night before leaving, claiming that the Crown Prince's wife was about to give birth and she had to rush back to the capital..."
Hearing that the princess was missing, Shen Wanxin trembled like a sieve, "My mother only stayed at the Jiang family for one night, she should have returned to the capital long ago..."
Xie Jingyu didn't say anything, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Chen Ping said, "My master has sent many people to protect the princess. If something really happens, it is enough to protect the princess from getting away. Even if it can't, it won't be so bad that not even a secret guard can escape, not to mention Uncle Li is still here."
The princess should have returned to the capital unharmed, but such a group of living people just disappeared out of thin air.
Chen Ping did not dare to delay and had to rush back to Beijing to report the matter to Xie Jingyu.
Xie Jingyu slammed the teacup in his hand onto the table. "Mother has most likely recovered her memory!"
Shen Wan didn't know that the princess was from Dongliang, and she looked at Xie Jingyu in confusion.
Chen Ping's heart was in turmoil.
He knew that the princess was from Dongliang.
If the princess really recovered her memory, would she have returned to Dongliang?
Why didn’t Uncle Li stop the princess?
If it weren't for Uncle Li, Xie Jingyu wouldn't have guessed it so quickly. The princess left Shen Wan, who was about to give birth, to go to Shengzhou to visit the seriously ill old lady Jiang. However, she only stayed at the Jiang family for one night and then used Shen Wan as an excuse to leave the Jiang family.
From the beginning to the end, the princess was just using the Jiang family as a cover. She needed a plausible excuse to leave Kyoto to do her own thing when Shen Wan was about to give birth.
He was making excuses to his own son, obviously not wanting Xie Jingyu to know.
The princess kept it a secret, and Uncle Li didn't send anyone to tell him. All Xie Jingyu could think of was the princess's life experience.
Xie Jingyu did not forget what Zhao Yuanzheng said, that the princess's head injury might turn out to be a blessing in disguise and cure her years of amnesia.
In the end, the thing he feared most happened.
Xie Jingyu wanted to know if his mother was just going back to Dongliang to take a look, or if she didn't want him as her son or her father anymore and would never come back...
