Chapter 149 You Release the Wolf, I Lure the Snake
In the middle of the night, a burst of screams came
"Ah! There's a snake! It's a snake! Ah~ah..."
"Snake... run... there's a snake!"
"Hurry up, help! Help!"
The tent of Miss Yun Wei of the Prime Minister's Mansion was surrounded by snakes of all sizes.
The strange thing is that among so many tents, only her tent is surrounded by snakes, while other tents are not. At this time, Yun Wei's tent is like a snake nest.
She and her two maids screamed in the tent
The guards patrolling outside were afraid to step forward. There were so many snakes, some as thick as arms, with tongues sticking out of their mouths. They were scared just looking at them, let alone rushing in to save people.
As long as the emperor and the princes and concubines were safe, they didn't need to lose their lives for an official's daughter, so no one dared to approach Yun Wei's tent.
At this moment, several snakes crawled into the tent from under the tent. Yun Wei and the two maids huddled together, the three of them trembling and backing away.
The cause of the incident should be said from the beginning. Yun Wei was upset and couldn't sleep because of what happened at the bonfire party that night. She sat in front of the dressing table in a daze.
The dressing table was right next to the window of the tent. The candlelight reflected on the tent. She felt a long, thin black shadow moving outside the tent. Slowly, the shadows became more and more thin, and the tent was dark.
At this time, the maidservant shouted at the door of the tent: "Miss, there is a snake!"
The three of them hurriedly ran into the house. At this time, several snakes had already crawled into the tent. They were panicked and could only shout loudly for help from the guards outside.
…
The guards outside were hesitant to step forward, but they were also afraid of being severely punished by the emperor, so they reported it to the leader of the Imperial Guards and also told Prime Minister Yun.
At this time, some concubines and other young ladies near Yun Wei's tent were also awakened. They put on their clothes and got up to ask what was going on. When they heard the sound of a snake, their desire to watch the fun instantly waned, and they dared not go out.
Ask the guards to check if there are any snakes near their tents.
"Your Highness, Miss Yun's tent is surrounded by snakes! The guards dare not approach, and I dare not disturb the Emperor, so I have come to ask Your Highness for your opinion. Please make a decision."
The prince frowned. "Snakes? Why are we surrounded by snakes? What about the other tents? Are there any injuries to the people there?"
The leader of the Imperial Guard shook his head and said, "The other tents are fine. This is strange, but Miss Yun's tent is the only one surrounded by snakes. The others are completely devoid of snakes. I've checked them all! The cause is still unknown. Miss Yun and her two maids were frightened in their tent, and the guards didn't dare rush in to rescue them."
"I'll go take a look! Don't disturb my father!"
"yes!"
The prince stood up, put on his clothes and walked towards Yun Wei's tent with the leader of the Royal Guards.
Under the illumination of the torch, the prince approached and saw the scene. He could not help but shudder. So many snakes were entangled together, densely packed and crawling on the tent. It was so frightening to look at. At this moment, it felt like there were thousands of pounds of weight on the soles of his feet. He did not dare to move forward.
"Miss Yun, are you okay?" the prince called out from outside.
When Yun Wei heard the prince's voice, she felt like she had found a life-saving straw and cried anxiously, "Your Highness, please save me! Please save me!"
Yun Wei's heart-breaking sobs were unbearable for the Crown Prince. Suddenly, he thought, "Miss Yun, don't you have medicine to repel wild beasts? Why don't you use it?"
"Your Highness, I used all the medicine to drive away the wolves that day, and I don't have any left!"
Hearing this, the prince frowned, thinking about how to help her. Finally, an idea struck him, and he said, "I'll have someone burn this tent, and then bring you out. When the fire is lit, Miss Yun can wrap herself in the quilt to keep herself safe. Okay."
When Yun Wei heard the prince's plan, she was delighted and said quickly: "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Your Highness, for saving me."
The prince outside the tent ordered people to throw torches in front of the tent. The flames quickly rose from the bottom to the top, and the wriggling snakes were burned by the fire.
Soon the tent was burned to ashes, and Yun Wei stood on the bare wasteland surrounded by a circle of fire, shivering.
The prince saw this and used his Qinggong to grab her waist and bring her out of the fire circle.
At this moment, Yun Wei leaned in the prince's arms, crying like a pear blossom in the rain.
"Miss Yun, it's okay, it's okay!"
The prince patted her back and comforted her.
Yun Wei cried even harder, stretched out her arms and tightly held the prince's waist, buried her head in his chest and cried for a long time.
After a long time, she raised her head, her eyes were red from crying, and there were two strings of tears on her cheeks. She looked very pitiful, like a frightened rabbit, which made people feel distressed.
When the prince saw her like this, his heart felt like it was pricked by a needle. His eyes turned into gentle water and he raised his hand to gently wipe away the tears on her face.
"Be good, it's okay! I'm here to save you!"
"Your Highness, I am afraid..."
"It's okay, don't be afraid! I'm here, so don't be afraid!"
Yun Wei looked aggrieved, pouted her lips and said coquettishly: "I am afraid, afraid that I will never see Your Highness again..."
The prince was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and chuckled softly, "No! Nothing will happen with me here! I will protect you!"
The guards beside him were dumbfounded. No one dared to speak at this moment. The leader of the Royal Guards wisely signaled everyone to disperse.
The two of them hugged each other tightly in the dark night. Prime Minister Yun, who came in the darkness, saw this scene and showed a smug smile on his face. Then he quietly left.
"I'll have you set up a new tent!"
Yun Wei shook her head: "Your Highness, I am afraid."
"Then what should we do? How about you go find Princess Mingxi and stay with her for the night?"
Yun Wei bit her lips, looking aggrieved, tears streaming down her eyes.
"Your Highness, don't you know that this servant and my third sister have always been at odds? My third sister won't let me live with her..."
The prince was speechless for a moment and said, "I don't know, so why don't you go spend the night in the tent of a lady you're in love with?"
Yun Wei shook his head and said nothing for a moment, then took out a sachet from his sleeve.
After a while, the prince looked at Yun Wei with increasingly fiery eyes, and the heat in his heart made him unable to resist inviting her:
"It's so late, I'm worried about you going to other places to resist me. Why don't you stay in my tent for the night?"
Yun Wei was surprised, her face flushed with shyness. She bit her lip and said shyly, "Your Highness, this is not good. How can I face people tomorrow? How will others view me?"
Upon hearing this, the prince embraced her in his arms and said domineeringly: "Tomorrow I will ask my father for permission to make you my crown princess!"
Hearing this, Yun Wei was secretly delighted. She had finally waited for this day.
