Chapter 558: Rescue and Return Home
Qin Xiangnuan immediately closed her lips and squeezed into Jiang Lin's arms, and Jiang Lin instantly tightened his arms.
After the footsteps faded away, Qin Xiangnuan was still held tightly in Jiang Lin's arms.
"Jiang Lin, let's go find someone?" Qin Xiangnuan moved her head at this time and patted Jiang Lin's hand to let him let go.
Jiang Lin jumped away immediately as if he was pricked by a needle, and this action caused Qin Xiangnuan to look puzzled.
"Let's go first." Jiang Lin immediately acted as if nothing had happened and spoke calmly to Qin Xiangnuan.
Qin Xiangnuan glanced at the direction where the patrol guards left. Generally, these patrols have fixed time periods. Based on what she had just observed, they had to hurry and leave here before the next wave of people arrived.
As soon as Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan left, the patrolmen appeared behind them. However, they didn't find anyone had appeared here before.
Looking for someone in such an unfamiliar place makes one feel a bit like a headless fly.
But, in fact, this is a very simple matter. The room where Qin Feng and the others are is too conspicuous, as if they are afraid that they will not be able to find it.
"If we show up now, we'll be walking into a trap." Qin Xiangnuan looked at the guards who had been staying in the courtyard and said to Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin looked up and saw that the sun was shining brightly. They had nowhere to go.
However, when the two of them were at a loss, something unexpected happened.
I saw a man hurriedly approaching from the side, and then said something to the leader, and then those people left one after another.
Jiang Lin frowned and looked at Qin Xiangnuan, obviously able to guess who was helping behind this.
But it was precisely because of this that Jiang Lin became even more puzzled, as the Ninth Prince had clearly stated his position just now.
Qin Xiangnuan would not be surprised when strange things happened to the Ninth Prince, and she didn't even think about guessing what the prince was thinking.
Qin Xiangnuan just watched those people leave and said to Jiang Lin, "We can go out now."
Jiang Lin's feet felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds, but in the end, he could only lift them up like that.
"cousin?"
When Qin Xiangnuan and Jiang Lin pushed open the door, they had no idea that the people inside were being well-fed and well-drinking, and they didn't feel like they were being held hostage at all.
Qin Xiangnuan was speechless at that moment, not to mention Jiang Lin. It was rare for him to feel a sense of frustration from the Ninth Prince, but the scene before him was indeed unexpected.
In the end, it was Qin Feng who called their attention back.
"Cousin, what are you doing..." Qin Xiangnuan looked at them with an indescribable expression.
Qin Feng glanced sideways and saw that each of them had delicious food in front of them, as well as some strange things at hand, some of which did not suit them.
"Ah, this is a long story." Qin Feng suddenly realized, chuckled and wanted to speak.
Jiang Lin said coldly, "If that's the case, let's cut to the chase."
Qin Feng was choked for a moment, but when he saw Jiang Lin's embarrassed expression, he seemed to think that their behavior was inappropriate, so he really said a few words.
"It turned out that it was the Ninth Prince who saved you." Qin Xiangnuan was surprised.
"Ninth Prince?" Qin Feng only then realized who had saved them. "It was him, but why did he save us?"
This is a difficult question to answer. Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan didn't know how to answer it, so they could only put it aside for the time being.
The most important thing at the moment is to bring them back first.
The way out was smooth as expected, but it was inevitable to run into the guards. Fortunately, everything was fine.
They all heard the guards say, "I don't know what kindness the higher-ups have shown to send so many good things today. Brothers, you've never enjoyed such treatment before."
"You don't care what they think, as long as we benefit from it."
"You're right!"
After talking for a while, they walked away. No one mentioned anything about Qin Feng and the others.
I just learned from Qin Feng that they were tied up when they were first kidnapped, and they heard a fight halfway through, and then they were untied and sent here.
Although they were not abused by each other, they were not allowed to contact Qin Xiangnuan for help.
They had experienced a lot of things in the past two days, and when they returned to their residence, they all looked exhausted.
"Cousin, it seems you have to stay in Beijing for the next few days. Once we find out that there is no threat, we will send you out." Qin Xiangnuan said to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng naturally had no objection and followed Qin Xiangnuan's arrangements.
However, after this incident, merchants did not dare to go out easily even if they were in a prosperous city.
On the second day after rescuing Qin Feng and the others, Jiang Lin learned that the first wave of people was sent by that eunuch. Recently, his son has been quite favored by the emperor in the palace.
The emperor even set a precedent by bringing this man directly to the court. Facing the pointing and criticizing of the officials, the eunuch's son pretended not to hear anything.
"My dear ministers, my life is in danger this time. Fortunately, Doctor Li has helped me, so I can continue to meet with you here." The emperor was moved, but no one was moved by his words.
Ever since the Ninth Prince disappeared from the public eye, the court has become somewhat fragmented, and the factions have almost collapsed. This is a good opportunity for the emperor to take action.
However, because everyone knew that the emperor would definitely remember some of their evil deeds, they would not be completely at ease to hand their lives over to the emperor.
Therefore, in the court, someone boldly proposed that the emperor appoint a crown prince.
"Do you all think I'm too old?" The emperor's face suddenly darkened as he asked everyone in the court.
"That is absolutely not what I meant."
The officials were not afraid of the emperor's power and were acting as if they were trying to force the emperor to abdicate.
However, this was not the case. They had a rare tacit understanding and put aside their past and persuaded the emperor to appoint the prince as the crown prince.
"I am incompetent, and my son is as incompetent as I am. Who else can take on this important task now?" The emperor looked at himself with his heart and eyes full of consideration for the people.
The ministers in the court are not all opportunists and flatterers. They naturally know the situation in the court, and what the emperor said is not all false.
Among the emperor's princes, the more promising ones are no longer here. Some have returned to the earth, while others are too young to wait.
"Your Majesty, I have heard such rumors when I was reading history books before, but..." The minister hesitated to speak, which aroused the emperor's interest.
"You might as well tell me about it. Since it is recorded in history books, it should be reliable. Just tell me." said the emperor.
