Ye An was shocked. Could it be that Ye Le was having a miscarriage?
His arms were tied behind his back and he couldn't untie them by himself, so he rubbed against Ye Le. Ye Le closed his eyes and his face wrinkled in pain.
"Xiao Le, how are you?"
Ye An called out a few times, and Ye Le opened his eyes and looked at him, his body curled up into a ball: "Brother, my stomach hurts..."
Ye An had given birth to a child before, so even though she wasn't a doctor, she knew that stomach pain for a pregnant woman was not a good sign. She quickly leaned over and helped Ye Le bite off the rope on his arm.
It was not the first time he had done such a thing, so he was quite experienced. Fortunately, the man just tied his and Ye Le's hands and feet but did not block their mouths. It was not that the man did not remember it at the last minute, but that the place where they were was too desolate. Looking around, they could not even see any houses. Even if they screamed at the top of their lungs, no one would hear them.
Ye An said: "Xiao Le, hold on for a while, untie the rope first, I will find a way to take you back."
Ye Le nodded. The restraints on his hands had been removed. He took a deep breath, endured the pain and sat up, then untied the rope for Ye An with trembling fingers.
Ye An looked around. They were stranded in this desolate place. There was almost nothing except a few scattered trees. Ye An was going crazy. Ye Zhi was taken away. Ye Le had a miscarriage again and needed to see a doctor as soon as possible. What should he do? He wished he could split himself in half.
A thin layer of sweat formed on Ye Le's forehead. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll bear it for now. I can still walk."
Ye An quickly stopped him: "Xiao Le, don't be so stubborn! If you are not feeling well, you can't walk around!"
Ye Le is more than seven months pregnant. If the fetus is disturbed at this time, it is easy to have a premature birth. If she has a stomachache, she must not walk around anymore.
Ye Le's breathing stagnated: "Then you should just leave me alone and go back to find someone first. I can hide and wait for you to come back."
Ye An thought that although he could go back as soon as possible by himself, this place was desolate. What if the man turned back, or a wild beast suddenly appeared?
Ye An said firmly: "I can't abandon you."
Ye Le shook his head frantically: "No, how can your situation be any better than mine?!"
Ye An still said: "Let's go together! I will take you with me, and you can be cured as soon as possible!"
Ye Le thought about the baby in her belly and was convinced. She looked at Ye An eagerly.
Ye An looked around and saw a few broken wooden boards under a tree that seemed to have been discarded by a woodcutter. Ye An had a bold idea.
He let Ye Le lie down, put a wooden board under Ye Le, and tied the rope that had just tied them up to the board. Ye An tried to pull the rope with his shoulders, praying in his heart that the baby in his belly would not lose his temper.
Fortunately, he was able to pull this simple trailer, and the second cub was very cooperative. His stomach didn't feel uncomfortable, and he was relatively stable for more than three months.
Ye An breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiao Le, look, it should be no problem to take you away."
Ye Le hid his face in the shadows and choked up, "Thank you..."
"What are you talking about?" Ye An made all the arrangements and finally smiled: "You are my brother, and you just saved me."
Ye An remembered that another person had been taken away, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
He lowered his head and dragged and pulled in front. Ye Le didn't dare to let him use all his strength. He lay on the wooden board and used his arms to support himself and move forward. It was better if he didn't hit his stomach.
The two brothers worked together and followed the tracks of the carriage in the direction they came from. This way, if anyone from the palace came looking for them along the tracks, they would not get lost.
The road is long, you must always have a dream. Ye An said viciously: "Who is behind this incident? Once I find out, I will tear him into pieces!"
"Yes... cut him up, chop him up, and make him a eunuch!"
Ye Le's eyes lit up and he became a little more energetic.
Who did it?
Mu Ci had already reached a conclusion in his mind. With a gloomy face, he took An Er and a group of guards and went to the inn where Prince Yelu Chu of Yu Luo was staying.
Yelu Chu asked for permission to stay and would not leave without formal resignation.
Mu Ci ordered his secret guards to find out where Yelu Chu lived and then go look for him. There were several Yu Luo people guarding in front of Yelu Chu's gate. Just as they were about to shout loudly, the secret guards stepped forward and restrained them, and the next moment they had their jaws cut off.
Mu Ci entered the room. Yelu Chu, who was sitting at the desk, jumped up from his chair in surprise when he saw so many people suddenly coming, led by Mu Ci.
"You...you, Queen..."
Yelu Chu hesitated and tried to salute Mu Ci, but before he could kneel down, Mu Ci kicked him.
"Where is he?"
Mu Ci was furious. Yelu Chu was kicked so hard that his back hit the corner of the table. He thought Mu Ci would at least listen to his explanation, but he didn't! The calm queen in the court now became the devil of the underworld. Even though Yelu Chu was mentally prepared, his legs still trembled uncontrollably.
Yelu Chu tried to be calm and said, "Who are you asking? I have been staying in the posthouse and don't know..."
Mu Ci kicked him three feet away again, blood spurting out of the corner of his mouth: "Yelü Chu, the bamboo bear was your tribute, it's not you who it is, it was you who made the bamboo bear create chaos, and it was you who took the opportunity to take him away!"
Yelu Chu gritted his teeth and continued to play dumb: "Bamboo Bear... Bamboo Bear was indeed presented by me. What happened? I really don't know what you are talking about..."
"You don't know? Very good..."
Mu Ci sneered. An iron nail had been driven into the foot of the Bamboo Bear. The three-inch-long nail was very conspicuous. There was no such thing in the Baihua Pavilion. The Bamboo Bear's leg itself was fine, and it was impossible for it to be accidentally injured by the trap. It could only be nailed in by humans. Later, the Bamboo Bear suddenly went mad and escaped from the palace carrying the prince and Su Xie, causing chaos in the palace. Mu Ci had seen the eyes of the Bamboo Bear, which had turned an abnormal red. He was knowledgeable and knew that there were some means to manipulate animals. The Bamboo Bear should have been controlled. Mu Ci naturally thought that someone had set up a trap, and both times were related to the Bamboo Bear. Who else could have set up a trap except Yelu Chu, who had voluntarily offered the Bamboo Bear?
There was not much time left for a confrontation, so Mu Ci took a deep breath and said to An Er, "Keep an eye on him. If he dares to move, cripple his hands and feet."
Yelu Chu stopped pretending to be timid and shouted, "Mu Ci, I am a prince of a country after all. You have no evidence. If you hurt me, how will you explain to my father and Yu Luo?!"
"Explanation?" Mu Ci had already stepped into the back hall. He turned back and said coldly, "You'd better pray day and night that I can find him soon. Otherwise, if you are one hour late, An Er will cut you one more time. If anyone in Yu Luo has any objections, I don't mind sending troops to flatten Yu Luo!"
Mu Ci was taught by Master Mu, and benevolence, righteousness, and loyalty to the emperor were engraved in his heart since he was a child. But when Ye An disappeared, Mu Ci almost went crazy. This was different from the previous time when Ye An was kidnapped by Li Yao. At least at that time Mu Ci knew that Ye An was still in the palace, but now, he had no idea where Ye An was taken. Yelu Chu was still putting on a show. Mu Ci couldn't help but think darkly, even if he fought violence with violence, so what? Do we have to be reasonable when dealing with evil people?
An Er with his secret guards and Cui Jing with his palace guards all knelt in a row in front of Mu Ci.
Mu Ci said loudly: "The secret guards will search the inn first, Wang Xingren, Jin Li?"
Two eunuchs came out in response.
Mu Ci said: "Jin Li will inform the Queen Mother that the palace has asked him to take charge of the situation. Wang Xingren will go and find all the doctors at the Imperial Hospital to come."
Everyone responded in unison.
The secret guards first turned the post station upside down, but failed to find anyone.
Mu Ci asked for a map of the imperial city and guessed which road those people would take. Yuan Yongsheng followed Mu Ci like a tail. He came over and glanced at the map and said softly: "This map is not comprehensive. In fact, there are some roads that are not marked..."
Yuan Yongsheng came from a poor family and had worried about his livelihood. After spending some time outside, he realized that some roads among the people were not built by the government, but were made by the people themselves. There were countless such paths, and the map could not show them all.
Mu Ci understood, rubbed the map vigorously, and said: "Then guard the city gate."
No matter how those people left, if Yelu Chu kidnapped someone in the Wei Imperial City, he would definitely send them back to Yu Luo secretly.
Cui Jing led people to guard the city gate. Wang Xingren had already invited all the imperial doctors. Mu Ci ordered them to split into two groups, following Cui Jing and the secret guards respectively. If they found someone, they would treat him first. Prince Dongling and the Emperor were both pregnant, so they would probably suffer this time.
Yuan Yongsheng didn't want to stay and wait for news, so he volunteered to follow Cui Jing. Ye Le was pregnant, so if she was sent out of the city, she would be easier to recognize. There were several city gates that could not be closed rashly, so as not to alert the enemy and make those people change their plans. Yuan Yongsheng could only pick one with his eyes closed and try his luck.
Mu Ci ordered the secret guards to check Yelu Chu's residence again. The weather was not cold, but the brazier was moved out. It seemed that something had been burned and turned to ashes. Mu Ci ordered the secret guards to interrogate Yelu Chu, hoping to find out Ye An's whereabouts. However, Yelu Chu just sneered, insisting that Mu Ci had wronged him and refused to say anything.
Mu Ci stood there, the anxiety in his heart growing little by little. Suddenly, he felt his palm slipping and something soft rubbing against his hand.
Mu Ci lowered his head and found that the bamboo bear had not been sent away yet and had been trapped by the chains. Now it put its furry head close to him and licked the palm of his hand with its tongue.
It was impossible for Mu Ci not to have any hatred towards this beast that brought him so much trouble.
But Ye An liked it very much and even gave it a name. Mu Ci decided to deal with it after finding Ye An.
Seeing that Mu Ci ignored it, the bamboo bear continued to bite the corner of Mu Ci's clothes. Mu Ci noticed that the bamboo bear's eyes had returned to normal, and he thought to himself, could it be that it wanted to tell him something?
"An Er, let it go."
With the intention of giving it a try, Mu Ci ordered An Er to remove the chains from Bamboo Bear.
The bamboo bear was able to move again. It bit the corner of Mu Ci's clothes and tried to lead him to a place.
That was Yelu Chu's bedroom.
Mu Ci followed Bamboo Bear in. Bamboo Bear led him to the bed and stopped, knocking its head against the bed.
Mu Ci ordered An Er to see if there was any mechanism on the bed. An Er fumbled around for a few times and knocked on the bed board. The bed was hollow and seemed to have an echo, but it could not be easily turned over. An Er searched and searched, and finally found a hidden keyhole under the pillow.
Bamboo Bear pounced on an antique vase in the corner and picked up a key from the debris on the ground.
Mu Ci understood what he meant and tried to open the key with the key. He heard a clicking sound and a hole appeared in the solid bed.
The bamboo bear roared twice towards the cave, then turned around and continued to butt Mu Ci. Mu Ci touched the bamboo bear's head unconsciously, thinking that although this bear had been controlled, it was still grateful and it was worth it that he had helped it pull out the nail.
Mu Ci and An Er sneaked into the cave together.
On the other side, Ye An was dragging Ye Le and could hardly walk anymore.
Ye Le's arms had lost strength and he fainted twice from the pain. Ye An was afraid that he would fall asleep and not wake up, so he woke him up, chatted with him, told jokes, and tried to cheer Ye Le up.
Ye Le smiled upon hearing this, but it was a forced smile and he felt even less energetic. He did not dare to tell Ye An that the pain in his stomach was unbearable.
Ye An told a very cold joke. After a moment of silence, Ye Le said, "Brother, am I going to die soon?"
Ye An said angrily: "Xiao Le, stop talking nonsense!"
Ye Le chuckled: "No, I'm not talking nonsense... Just in case, in case I really don't make it this time, brother, please help me make him my principal wife."
Ye An knew who this "he" was.
In the past few years, Ye Le has not married a princess. At the beginning, Ye An said that he would help him keep an eye out for one, but later, when Ye An found a suitable one and asked Ye Le what he thought, Ye Le hesitated and said he didn't want one. The Dongling Palace has been missing a master, and Concubine Yuan tried every means to get promoted to a higher level, but Ye Le always refused.
Ye An wiped his face and said, "Xiao Le, have you finally figured it out?"
Ye Le pursed his lips and said in a veiled tone, "It doesn't matter whether he wants to understand or not, I just want him to be a widow."
Ye An: “…”
“You…!”
Ye An felt his hands itchy and he really wanted to hit Ye Le's head hard. He raised his hand and then put it down again.
He heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
Ye An shuddered. He knew that this road was sparsely populated. If he and Ye Le were to walk on it, they would have no idea how long it would take. The horse hoof might be a chance of survival, or it might be someone who wanted to catch him.
It’s too late!
Ye An said softly: "Xiao Le, someone is coming. I will hide you first. If nothing happens, I will find you right away. If something happens and I am taken away, you can come out after the others leave."
Ye Le wanted to object, saying that they should die together, but he had no strength left. They had now reached a dense forest. Ye An pushed Ye Le into the nearby bushes and stuffed a few stones next to him.
"Just in case, just in case there is a wild beast... you know."
Ye Le held the stone in his hand and nodded to Ye An, his eyes already a little wet.
Ye An hid Ye Le and just walked out of the bushes when a horse galloped towards him.
