Xiao Conghui was worried about Queen Wang's illness and was restless. He wanted to stay in the Pepper Palace to take care of the queen, but he had more important things to do.
He vaguely felt that Xiao Hanyi actually hoped that the queen would die in this way. As long as this idea came up, it would never go away, so he wanted to take the queen out of the palace and take her to a beautiful farm to recuperate.
At this time, An Liu beside him came back to report, "Chen Langyi sneaked into the Second Prince's residence and was detained by Madam Feng. Please ask Your Highness for instructions."
Xiao Conghui frowned. He originally wanted to teach Chen Langyi a lesson, and he estimated that she would go to the Second Prince's Mansion, so he asked Madam Feng to keep an eye on her in advance.
But now, because he was too upset to pay attention to her, he said, "Let Madam Feng release her. Find someone to tell her that I know she attacked Liu Xi before, and I will spare her this time. If she dares to have such thoughts again, I will not show mercy. By then, death will be a luxury for her."
An Liu bowed and replied "yes", then flew out of the window and disappeared into the night.
…
In a dim woodshed in the Second Prince's mansion, Chen Langyi was tied up with some cloth stuffed in her mouth. She was struggling at first, but gave up after being frightened several times by the guards.
A good man never suffers a loss in front of him!
When I get out, I will take their lives one by one. Feng, just wait for me, Chen Langyi said fiercely in his heart.
She has lived a life of luxury since she was a child and has never suffered such injustice.
Suddenly, there were footsteps at the door. She held her breath and asked in a low voice, "Who?"
Chen Langyi's heart was pounding and he was a little scared.
After the door opened, a woman who looked like a maid came in.
This little maid is called Cuihu, and she belongs to Madam Feng.
Cuihu quickly untied Chen Langyi, saying as she did so, "Miss Chen, I serve the Second Prince. I saw you from afar at the hunting grounds. When you went to see the Second Prince that night, I even served you tea. I know you are his future wife."
"But, our prince has not returned from the palace. I heard that the imperial concubine is not well. Our prince is the most filial, so he may have to stay in the palace for a few days. Now Madam Feng is in charge of the mansion."
"She's sent someone to find a human trafficker. Take advantage of this moment and run away. Otherwise, if she really gives you to the human trafficker, the consequences will be disastrous."
Chen Langyi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. That bitch actually dared to...
When she went to the Second Prince's tent that night, a little maid did bring her a cup of tea, so she did not doubt Cuihu's identity.
What she didn't know was that the Second Prince was so busy with Madam Feng that night that he didn't have the energy to accept her.
When she was undressing to seduce the second prince, Madam Feng was hiding behind the tent and witnessed the whole process.
Chen Langyi changed into the coarse cloth clothes Cuihu prepared for her, and without thinking too much, she sneaked out with the maid.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, she was led to a side door. Cuihu went forward and knocked on the door. She said a few words to the guards at the door, and she followed behind with her head down.
Then they left the Second Prince's Mansion smoothly.
Cuihu was escorting them all the way when she suddenly heard a chaotic sound of footsteps and shouting coming from behind.
After listening carefully, I realized that it was Madam Feng who sent people to arrest them.
They hid all the way and were chased from behind.
Unable to run any longer, Cuihu said with a determined look, "Miss, I will lead them away. I am the Second Prince's personal servant, they dare not do anything to me."
Chen Langyi had the same idea, so he nodded and said, "Be careful."
Cuihu ran in one direction, and after a few dozen steps, he deliberately made a sound, "Help, help!"
It worked as expected. The people behind her headed towards Cuihu Lake. Chen Langyi quickly ran in the opposite direction. The lights in the shops there were on, making it convenient for her to call for help.
"Miss Cuihu, you are running too slowly. We almost caught up with you," a young eunuch joked.
This was originally Mrs. Feng's plan. The alley that Chen Langyi ran into was the famous Linglong Hutong in the capital. There were neatly arranged brothels in it. Because it was a place of the lowest class, there were all kinds of people there, and it was very messy. Mrs. Feng had to spend some effort to find such a place.
Linglong Hutong is bustling with activity right now, and the soft music is enchanting. (Please use your imagination to describe it, as the animation director won't let me write it.)
Chen Langyi ran towards a bright place, and suddenly pursuers appeared from behind. She panicked and slipped into a shop nearby, where she bumped into a woman in her forties.
This woman was the madam of this brothel. She had handled so many girls. Although Chen Langyi was wearing coarse cloth, she could tell at a glance that she was no ordinary woman. Her eyes widened. "Girl, come here and hide inside."
Oh, I was saying that my right eye has been twitching these days. As the saying goes, a twitching right eye means wealth. Now the wealth just happened to fall into my arms. The brothel owner was so happy.
Chen Langyi hid in the direction she pointed.
"Boss, have you seen a girl running over here?" a eunuch asked in a shout.
He couldn't let the other party know that he was a eunuch.
The brothel owner grinned and said, "Oh, looking for girls? You have found the right place, sir. There are girls everywhere. Please come in."
As he said this, he stepped forward, grabbed the young eunuch's arm and dragged him inside.
The young eunuch had never seen such a scene before. He pretended to be calm, pulled his arm away, and cursed, "I bought her with ten taels of silver. I saw her running into you. If you don't hand her over, I will report her to the authorities."
The madam rolled her eyes and said, "Hey, it's just ten taels of silver. Mom will pay for it."
"Twenty taels"
The young eunuch held up two fingers.
My mother was delighted. She had picked up a great bargain. Afraid that the other party would regret it, she quickly took out twenty taels of silver and stuffed it into the young eunuch's pocket. "Where's the indenture?"
