"Mammy, something bad has happened!"
A maid ran to Aunt Hua in a hurry. Princess Yu Chang hadn't woken up yet, so Aunt Hua was resting in the side hall. Seeing the maid rushing in like that, she frowned in displeasure: "Why are you so impatient?"
The old woman's face turned pale as she thought of something, but she quickly lowered her voice and said, "Mammy, Miss Mingyu ran away."
"What!"
Aunt Hua, who was munching on sunflower seeds, immediately put them down and frowned at the old woman: "What do you mean by ran away? Where could she run to in that condition?"
The old woman hesitated, but still told the story: "Originally, I had pinned Miss Mingyu down and was planning to chop off her hands, but she resisted and even brought up the princess. We were a little hesitant to do it, so she took the opportunity to break free."
"By the time we reacted, Miss Mingyu had already run out. The guards didn't stop her when they saw it was Miss Mingyu..."
"What? You let her run away from the princess's mansion?"
The old woman nodded.
Aunt Hua was furious: "You are more likely to cause trouble than to help. What are you still standing there for? Go and find the person."
“Yes, yes…”
The old woman hurried out again.
Nanny Hua was also anxious, but she also remembered that she would need to serve the princess after she woke up. After pacing the hall a few times, she could only ask the maid to tell the guards, "Send someone to bring Mingyu back immediately. If she refuses to come back, tell her that cutting off her hands is to save her life..."
The other side.
Mingyu ran out of the Princess's Mansion, covered her hands tightly with a cloth, and endured the pain to avoid the pursuers.
She is not stupid.
It seems that he saved his life by cutting off his hands.
But with Princess Yuchang's personality, and the fact that she knew so many of Princess Yuchang's secrets, she would be of no use without her hands, and there would be no way she could survive.
Mingyu doesn't want to die.
She would rather live than die like that.
So when she was held down by the old woman and was about to have her hands chopped off, she ran away. However, due to the pain in her hands and exhaustion, she did not get far before she was found by the guards.
"Ms. Mingyu, Aunt Hua said that cutting off your hands is for your own good. It's the only way to save your life. Don't run away anymore."
The guards surrounded Mingyu.
Mingyu looked at the guard approaching with a knife, his face ashen: "Don't come over here, don't come over here..."
It was naturally impossible for the guards to stop.
But because they had been specifically instructed, they approached with knives, intending to chop off her hands as soon as they got close.
The knife was raised.
Mingyu looked at the knife that was about to chop down, his mind went blank, and an indescribable sadness surged in his heart.
It clearly says that if you can get through it, it won’t rot.
Why did they chop off her hands?
Aunt Hua knew exactly what kind of person Princess Yu was, but she still asked people to do this. Isn't this trying to kill her?
And Aunt Hua only listens to the eldest princess. Could it be that the eldest princess wants to abandon her...
"No..." Mingyu closed her eyes, waiting for the announcement of death.
'clang'
There was a sound of weapons clashing, followed by the sound of something falling to the ground, and then there was dead silence.
Mingyu slowly opened her eyes.
What came into view were two guards lying on the ground, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.
And a figure in white stood not far away.
There was clearly no light in the alley, but at this moment Mingyu seemed to see light from that figure, so dazzling that it injected a ray of light into her desperate world.
"Are you okay?"
Yang Huaijin retracted his sword and looked at Mingyu who was hiding in the corner and asked.
A white robe and a sword.
A handsome and elegant young man.
Mingyu also recognized Yang Huaijin's identity at this time. After all, as she was always with Princess Yuchang, she knew much more than others imagined.
She naturally knew about Yang Huaijin.
But she never expected that one day, Yang Huaijin, who was rumored to like chopping off people's heads, would save her in this way.
"Don't be afraid, I won't get close to you. You don't have to be afraid either. I have just asked someone to report to the police, and the government officials will be here soon." Yang Huaijin treated her as a victim.
Report to the police?
When Mingyu heard this, she was stunned at first, and then wanted to run to the other side of the alley, but she remembered something and turned around and said to Yang Huaijin, "Master Yang, this way."
Yang Huaijin looked confused.
Afraid that Yang Huaijin wouldn't listen, Mingyu ignored the pain and quickly stepped forward to grab his sleeve with her hand wrapped in thick cloth: "These two are guards from Princess Yuchang's mansion. If you kill them, they will definitely not let you go when the authorities come."
After saying that, Mingyu pulled him towards the other alley.
Yang Huaijin raised his eyebrows.
When did he kill someone?
But he did cooperate. However, the two of them had not run far when they heard the voices of government officials, and they were coming from ahead of them.
Mingyu's face turned pale: "What should I do? I can't escape!"
Yang Huaijin glanced at her, and finally said, "I'm sorry."
Yang Huaijin grabbed her by the back of her collar, and before Mingyu could react, he and his men leaped up and disappeared into the alley before the authorities arrived...
I don’t know how long it took.
Yang Huaijin and his men landed in a remote place.
"It should be safe here."
Mingyu's heart was pounding.
"Thank you."
"You are welcome."
Yang Huaijin waved his hand as if he didn't care much and was about to leave.
Mingyu quickly stopped him: "Master Yang, wait a moment."
Yang Huaijin paused and looked at her doubtfully: "Do you recognize me?"
Mingyu looked at his handsome appearance, lowered her eyes slightly, and nodded: "I am the maidservant of Princess Yu. I have met Lord Yang before when I was with the princess."
"Are you the maidservant of Princess Yuchang?"
Yang Huaijin frowned, "You also said those two were guards beside Princess Yuchang. What are you doing? Killing each other?"
"no."
Mingyu quickly explained, "Master Yang did save me just now, otherwise I would have died."
Yang Huaijin didn't understand: "Why? Since you are all close to the princess, there is no reason for you to kill each other."
Mingyu opened her mouth but no explanation came out.
"Could it be... that the eldest princess wants to kill you?" Yang Huaijin said speculatively.
This sentence made Mingyu's face pale.
"Forget it, this is not something I should get involved in. You should be careful next time." After saying this, Yang Huaijin waved his hand and prepared to leave.
Mingyu hurriedly grabbed his sleeve.
Yang Huaijin frowned and moved away: "Men and women should not touch each other. It's not right for Miss Mingyu to always pull people's clothes."
Mingyu blushed a little.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and untied the cloth wrapped around her hands, revealing her bony hands.
