Chapter 363: Concern leads to confusion, Xuanying sees the clues
Xuanying took the order and left.
Yuan Wanru immediately turned to the medicine cabinet and began to quickly select medicinal herbs.
Liuzhi was helping on the side and couldn't help asking, "Madam, do you really want to go to Ziyun Temple alone? It's too dangerous!"
Yuan Wanru kept moving her hands: "Haining is suffering because of me, how can I just sit there and watch?"
"If she really died because of this, I would never be at peace for the rest of my life."
She didn't want to carry such a heavy burden for the rest of her life.
Moreover, as she had just said to Xuanying, she was absolutely sure that she could save her life.
The Liang family's biggest failure was that they didn't know that she was an expert in using poison and witchcraft.
"Don't worry, I won't act rashly."
-
"No! Wanru must not take any risks!"
Sun Huanzhi slammed the table and stood up, causing the teacups on the sandalwood table to clink.
His handsome face flushed slightly with excitement, and the veins on his forehead were faintly visible.
Xuanying frowned when he heard this, and his sharp eyes scanned Sun Huanzhi's face.
This grandson of the Crown Prince has always strictly observed etiquette, so why would he suddenly call the Crown Prince's wife by her maiden name?
The study suddenly became quiet, with only the ticking of the clock ringing in the room.
Sun Huanzhi then realized that he had lost his composure, and hastily straightened his clothes, forcing himself to remain calm and said, "When Jiang Nian left Beijing, he specifically told me to protect the wife of Master Lu."
"I can't let her take risks just to save Haining."
His voice returned to its usual calmness, but his fingertips were still trembling slightly.
Xuanying clasped his fists and saluted: "What Prince Sun said is absolutely true, but..."
He paused, looking embarrassed, "Since my wife has made up her mind, I'm afraid..."
"What does it mean to be determined?"
Sun Huanzhi interrupted him and paced back and forth in the study, his brocade boots making a dull sound on the floor tiles, "This is going to die! Since the people from the Second Prince dared to kidnap Haining, what else are they afraid to do?"
A gust of night wind blew outside the window, the candlelight flickered, and the shadows of the two people were cast on the wall, making them look particularly tall.
Xuan Ying was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "It is difficult to change my wife's mind. All we can do is..."
"She was just acting on impulse!"
Sun Huanzhi turned around abruptly, anger burning in her eyes, "She is a girl, how could she know that some people in the world are cruel and ruthless, and she is not a woman who can withstand it."
"The Second Prince now hates Jiang Nian to the core. If your wife falls into their hands, have you ever thought about what would happen to her?"
As he spoke, his voice suddenly dropped. "I can't... I can't watch her... die!"
Xuanying's eyes flashed, and he keenly caught the strangeness in Sun Huanzhi's words.
The concern that this prince grandson showed for the prince's wife seemed to have gone beyond the friendship of ordinary friends.
Sun Huanzhi seemed to realize that he had said something wrong and quickly changed the subject: "The most urgent task is to send more people to search for Haining's whereabouts. I will mobilize the best troops in the palace right now. Even if we have to turn the capital upside down, we must find her before dawn!"
He strode toward the door, but stopped suddenly at the threshold.
The moonlight shines through the carved window lattices, casting mottled shadows on his handsome profile.
Xuanying saw that his hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists, with his knuckles turning white.
On one side is his blood-related sister, and on the other side is... the person he has hidden deep in his heart, the only person who has entered his heart over the years.
No matter what choice he made, Sun Huanzhi was in a dilemma.
He could hardly breathe.
"You go back and persuade her first. After I meet my mother, I will quietly go to Lingshuiju and talk to her in person."
Xuanying watched Sun Huanzhi walk away silently. She never expected that Prince Sun actually had such thoughts.
Does his family's eldest son know about this?
-
Mrs. Sun's courtyard was quiet and peaceful, and the lanterns under the corridor swayed gently in the night breeze.
Sun Huanzhi took a deep breath outside the courtyard gate, trying to calm himself down, then raised his hand to knock on the door.
"Mother, I have something important to report to you."
Mrs. Sun's steady voice came from inside the door: "Come in."
Mrs. Sun was looking through the account books under the lamp. When she saw her son come in with a serious expression, she immediately put down the work in her hands.
"What happened to Haining?" she asked sharply.
In the evening, he told her that Haining went to the Mansion of Marquis Zhongyong to accompany Mrs. Lu, and she found it strange.
However, she thought that tomorrow was her birthday and Haining would come back no matter what, so she did not ask any further questions.
Both of her children are very independent, and they live in the capital. Mrs. Sun did not expect that Sun Haining would encounter such a big thing.
Sun Huanzhi told the whole story, and when he mentioned that Yuan Wanru decided to go to the appointment alone, his voice unconsciously tightened.
After listening to this, Mrs. Sun's expression changed several times, but finally she calmed down.
"Huan'er, what does this have to do with Lady Lu?"
Her voice was not loud, but every word was sonorous. "We, the Sun family's children, are naturally for us to save. How can we burden others?"
It is hard to explain why Yuan Wanru was involved in this.
"Mom, things are complicated. Anyway, I will definitely find a way to save my sister."
"As for the people in the mansion, please keep calm for now."
Madam Sun shook her head: "Tomorrow, just say that I am not feeling well and the banquet is cancelled. There is nothing else that needs my help. I can't just sit there and wait for death. Tomorrow, I will go to Ziyun Temple in person to rescue Haining."
"Mom!" Sun Huanzhi said in shock, "This is too dangerous!"
"Besides, it's useless for you to go. The person they want is Yuan Wanru."
Madam Sun's calm mood suddenly collapsed. She covered her face and cried, her cry was suppressed and painful: "Then what should I do?"
"Just waiting at home?"
"Huan'er, your elder brother is gone, and I only have you and Haining. Each of you is the apple of my eye, and I cannot lose any of you!"
Sun Huanzhi also felt unhappy.
"Mom, things haven't come to that point yet. Don't cry for now. I'll have someone look for him right away. We'll dig deep to find Haining."
Mrs. Sun finally listened to these words.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll wait."
Sun Huanzhi turned around to leave, but Madam Sun pulled his sleeve and said, "If..."
"If you can't find it, please ask Madam Lu to think of a solution."
"Whether she goes or not, mother doesn't blame her. I just..."
Sun Huanzhi closed his eyes and nodded painfully: "Mom, don't say anymore, I understand how you feel."
"Sister, it will be alright."
On the other side, Xuanying went back and told Yuan Wanru about Sun Huanzhi's opinion.
Yuan Wanru pretended not to hear and said, "We can't be so passive. If they capture Haining, then we can also capture Madam Liang, or Liang Yusong."
"Don't you like taking off people's clothes?"
"If we don't see Sun Haining unharmed by noon tomorrow, we will have Madam Liang and her daughter naked on the city wall for people to see!"
Fighting poison with poison, this strategy is a brilliant one.
Xuanying's eyes lit up: "Okay, I'll do it right away."
