Chapter 414 Huo Yan, why are you here?
"Yes." Butler Liu said, "Although Madam seems to dislike us on weekdays, she has actually treated us as her own family for a long time."
The guards sent to secretly follow Song Wan'er were all Jiang Hao's former rebel brothers, and the most trusted ones were brought into the general's mansion.
These people have all been through mountains of swords and seas of fire, and have been on the verge of death many times. It is rare for them to see the King of Hell, but it is really rare to be protected by a girl.
When everyone talked about what Song Wan'er did that day, they had endless things to say.
"Madam is truly a truly wonderful lady. No wonder the general is happy to be scolded every day after marrying her."
"I will follow Madam for the rest of my life!"
Jiang Hao listened to them talking about his wife's good points one by one, and couldn't help but wonder if Song Wan'er treated his people as her own. Did that mean that she had already treated him as her own?
When he thought of this, his mind became a little confused.
Suddenly, he remembered what Song Wan'er said to him today at the Rui Palace: "Jiang Hao, you must be a human being, not a beast."
They were so nice to Liu Yi and the others, but they only had such harsh words to say to him.
The more Jiang Hao thought about it, the more unbalanced he felt, and his face darkened.
Seeing this, Butler Liu and the others thought he was going to punish them after he had thoroughly investigated the matter. They all knelt down consciously and said, "No matter what, we failed to protect the Madam this time and caused her to be imprisoned. General, please punish us."
"Even if you want to kill me, I will accept it."
"Why are you kneeling? Get up." Jiang Hao pulled Liu Yi up. "Madam said that you can't be punished."
Everyone looked at each other, not expecting the Madam to even exempt them from the punishment in the mansion. They immediately asked Jiang Hao, "General, when are we going to rescue the Madam?"
"I've heard the guard rotation schedule for Prince Rui's Palace these past few days. Shall we start tonight?"
"What's the rush?" Jiang Hao said, "You guys should take good care of your injuries first."
Butler Liu, who always listened to Jiang Hao, said, "This... how can we not be anxious? Madam loves to torment others so much, and now she's being tormented by others while being locked up in the Rui Palace, won't she get sick from anger?"
Butler Liu knows Song Wan'er a little bit.
Jiang Hao glanced at Liu Yi and said, "They said they don't need us to save them."
"Madam, you're being sarcastic," Butler Liu said. "General, you don't really believe that, do you?"
Jiang Hao didn't finish his words.
Liu Yi became even more anxious when he saw this. "Then what did you say to the Madam?"
Jiang Hao didn't say anything.
But who is Butler Liu? He has followed Jiang Hao for at least eight years, and he knows best what kind of person he is.
Jiang Hao can speak differently to anyone he wants in public, from the powerful and royal family to the common people, as long as he wants to talk to them, he can talk to them.
But such a person would start quarreling with his wife after just three sentences.
Although nine times out of ten it was Song Wan'er who scolded him.
Another time, Song Wan'er beat and hit him.
But Jiang Hao still enjoys it.
The Madam is now being held captive by Prince Rui. I'm afraid the General didn't have anything nice to say when he saw her today...
Butler Liu became more and more worried as he thought about it. He couldn't help but remind him, "A girl as good as the Madam, the General must coax her and pamper her. Besides, didn't the General say before that you married the Madam for the sake of the Song family..."
Jiang Hao had said that marrying Song Wan'er meant marrying the Song family's money, but now he couldn't bear to hear Liu Yi mention it again. A look from him frightened him so much that he swallowed the second half of his words.
Butler Liu thought to himself that it was a close call, he almost slapped the general in the face again.
At this time, one of the guards bravely replied, "General, even if you're not after money, but only after the lady herself, you still have to coax and pamper her. If you don't, there are plenty of others who will."
Jiang Hao's dangerous gaze fell on the guard brother, frightening him so much that he immediately covered his mouth.
Butler Liu quickly added, "The most important thing right now is to bring the Madam back home. For future matters, the general just needs to learn more."
In fact, Liu Yi was thinking of someone like the general, and you asked him to suddenly coax and pamper his wife.
The lady probably thought he was up to something again.
This young couple is not like ordinary couples. It is not easy for them to understand each other.
Butler Liu couldn't help but add, "Madam must be frightened and uneasy all alone in Prince Rui's mansion. General, next time you visit her, remember to say some kind words to comfort her, at least let her know that someone cares about her..."
Jiang Hao said in a muffled voice: "She will only think that I am concerned about her Song family's money."
"The madam is not wrong," said Butler Liu, "after all, you were after the Song family's money from the beginning."
When Jiang Hao heard this, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Seeing this, Butler Liu immediately added, "But who in this world doesn't love money? Although you were originally after the Song family's wealth, don't you think the Madam is more important now? It shows that the Madam is an excellent girl, so good that she is worth more than millions of dollars. General, you..."
Jiang Hao looked at Butler Liu coldly, waiting for his next words.
Liu Yi held his breath for a long time before finally saying, "You still have a conscience."
Jiang Hao didn't expect to hear any good words from Liu Yi. His heart was in a mess because of Song Wan'er. He forced himself to think about the real matter. He called several confidants in the mansion and asked them, "Do you know the whereabouts of the Ninth Prince?"
Everyone shook their heads. "Not only is the Ninth Prince nowhere to be found in the West Mountain Hunting Grounds, but he's nowhere to be found in or around the capital."
Jiang Hao felt that something was wrong.
Princess Xiling disappeared, and it could also be said that she took advantage of the chaos to escape back to Xiling.
But the Ninth Prince Huo Yan had always been checking and balancing each other with Prince Rui Huo Yang. If he was careless and fell into Prince Rui's trap this time, he would not have disappeared without a trace. Even the Ninth Prince's party, who had been shouting and jumping loudly before, seemed to be in hibernation and were locked up or restrained by Prince Rui in just two or three moves.
Jiang Hao looked at the heavy snow falling outside the door and asked, "Where on earth did the Ninth Prince go?"
It snowed in the capital for more than half a month, and the flying snow stretched for thousands of miles and fell into Xizhou City.
It was just dawn and there were not many people on the street.
Because of the heavy snow, the whole street was quiet, with only the howling north wind.
The young pharmacist of Huichuntang opened the door of the clinic and came out with a broom to sweep the snow. As soon as he stepped over the threshold, he saw a person lying at the door.
He was covered in blood, and it was impossible to tell the color of his clothes. It was also unknown whether he was dead or alive.
"Master! Master!" the little pharmacist shouted anxiously, "Someone has collapsed at the door of our clinic, please come out and take a look!"
"What's going on?"
Honeysuckle responded and went with the little medicine apprentice to turn over the bloody man lying in the snow. Just as she reached out to feel the other person's breath, she raised her eyes and saw that it was the person she had just dreamed of.
She hadn't seen Huo Yan for a long, long time.
It was so long that she finally believed that she and Huo Yan would never have any intersection again. Even her dreams about him had changed from nightmares to the point where she could clearly tell they were dreams.
Because Huo Yan's face became blurry in her dream, Huo Yang even restrained his bad temper a lot and just kept looking at her.
"Huo Yan!" After seeing Huo Yan's face clearly, Ren Dong was so shocked that she fell to the ground in the snow. "Why are you here?"
