Chapter 205 What did they say they stole?
With reinforcements in front and pursuers behind, the two had nowhere to escape.
*
After Gao Zhuang and Ai Shou were captured, they were surrounded by the Imperial Guards and escorted back to the hunting grounds.
Xie Yun-yang and Xie Yun-chuan were not in the hunting grounds, and Xie Yun-jia was too worried about Sheng-sheng and the others, so Xie Yun-jia led the people out.
Xie Yunjia praised and thanked Lu Chi in a businesslike manner, then grabbed Xie Yunqi by the ear and began to lecture him fiercely.
"You little rascal, what are you doing bringing Shengsheng this way?"
Xie Yunqi cried out in pain, grimacing, "What are you doing? It hurts!"
Sheng Sheng has been trying to break up Lu Chi and Xie Yunqi's fight all day, and now it's finally time to break up the fight between Xie Yunjia and Xie Yunqi, the brother and sister.
"Don't get excited, Your Highness. It's Sheng Sheng who's coming to stir up trouble with Fifth Brother."
Xie Yunjia released her hand impatiently, then scolded her again with a stern face, "Don't take this so lightly. If you want honey, just send someone to find it. Why are you following Xie Yunqi's nonsense? It's fine if you come, but you didn't bring more people, and now you're acting like a hero. Your elder sister knows you're smart, but even if you're smart, you can't act so impulsively. Where do you put your own safety?"
Xie Yunjia lectured the two children incessantly, while Shen Sheng shrank back and secretly stuck out her tongue.
My sister, who educates people, is terrifying.
Xie Yunqi winked at Sheng Sheng, exchanging glances: See, now you know how talkative she is.
Sheng Sheng hugged Xie Yunjia's leg and said coquettishly, "Sister, please stop reading. The situation is special. Xiao Quanzi is on his last breath. We can't just sit idly by."
"So you just rushed forward?" Xie Yunjia laughed in exasperation. "Xie Yunsheng, you're only five years old. If anyone should rush forward, it should be an adult, understand? You little brats, all of you combined aren't even the size of a shoe, what are you rushing for?"
Startled by Lu Chi, who had just been reprimanded, Sheng Sheng and Xie Yunqi looked left and right. Seeing that they were both keeping their heads down and not saying a word, she also lowered her head silently.
Okay, let's get scolded together.
Xie Yunjia lectured the group for a long time without repeating herself. Zijuan looked at her princess, who was obediently being scolded with her head down, and couldn't help but say to Xiaotao, "Xiaotao, please persuade the eldest princess to rest and have a drink of water... Our second princess has been scolded so badly that she looks like a wilted eggplant."
Xiao Tao shook her head with difficulty: "To be honest, this is the first time I've seen our princess like this. Although our princess usually bickers with the Fifth Prince, this is the first time she's scolded someone like this."
Xie Yunjia lectured non-stop for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, until her mouth was dry, before finally stopping.
Xie Yunqi and Shengsheng reacted quickly, each taking one side of Xie Yunqi and acting coquettishly.
"Elder sister, elder sister, are you thirsty? Let's go back and have some tea!"
"Yes, yes, hurry up, hurry up! I don't know how Xiao Quanzi is doing, I have to rush back to see him!"
Xie Yunjia sighed, pushed Xie Yunqi away with her left hand, and hugged Shengsheng with her right hand: "Alright, your elder sister was just worried about you."
"Yes, Sheng Sheng knows. My elder sister loves Sheng Sheng the most!"
Xie Yunjia smiled helplessly and gently pinched her nose: "You can't be so impulsive next time."
After saying that, Xie Yunjia leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Your elder sister knows that Second Brother must have arranged for people to protect you, which is why you feel at ease doing this, right?"
Sheng Sheng hugged her back and whispered, "Empress knows everything, yet she still scolds Sheng Sheng."
Xie Yunjia glared at her: "That won't do either. No matter what the situation, we must be prepared for the worst, you know? We can't take such risks."
Okay~
The two sisters were all lovey-dovey, but Xie Yunqi wasn't so happy.
Xie Yunqi, who was pushed away: "..."
Okay, you two are having a good time, don't worry about me.
Xie Yunqi pulled Lu Chi up and walked towards the horses prepared for them.
"Lu Chi, let's go, ignore her."
Xie Yunqi rode away at full speed, with a hint of defiance in his voice.
Lu Chi glanced back at the two sisters who were holding hands and talking, smiled, and followed Xie Yunqi.
Upon returning to the hunting grounds, Sheng Sheng learned that the imperial physician was already treating Xiao Quanzi, and without even returning to her own tent, she hurried over there.
Xie Yunqi was indeed already there, pacing anxiously at the entrance of the tent with his hands behind his back.
She ran over and asked, "Fifth Brother, how is it?"
"I don't know, the imperial physician is still inside."
Sheng Sheng knew that Xie Yunqi and Xiao Quanzi had been together since childhood and had a very deep bond, so she comforted him, saying, "It's alright, Fifth Brother. Don't worry, it's good that there's no danger to your life."
Xie Yunqi replied listlessly, "Hmm."
After waiting with him for a while, Consort Li arrived.
Consort Li hurried over, holding Xie Yunqi's hand in one hand and Shengsheng's hand in the other, looking them over again and again: "Are you two alright?"
Xie Yunqi was unenthusiastic and simply nodded, "It's alright, Mother."
"Oh dear, what's wrong with you?"
Sheng Sheng answered for him, "Your Highness, Xiao Quanzi has been seriously injured. The imperial physician is inside treating him. Fifth Prince is very worried about Xiao Quanzi."
Sheng Sheng then carefully explained the whole story to Consort Li.
Consort Li only learned that Xie Yunjia had just sent Xiao Tao over to explain the situation to her. She had learned that the children had almost fallen into the hands of bad guys while playing together today, so she rushed over in a hurry. She didn't have time to ask for more details. Now, after hearing what Sheng Sheng said, she realized that Xiao Quanzi was also injured.
Consort Li had just breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the two children were alright, but now, upon hearing that the two notorious bandits had not only robbed people in her palace but had also beaten them to the point of near death, she was instantly enraged.
"I want to see where those two notorious thieves came from, daring to steal from me!" Consort Li flung her palace skirt. "Let's go see what kind of thieves they are!"
Seeing that the two children were alright, Consort Li was relieved and went off to settle accounts with the person in a huff, leaving the two children to wait there.
Neither Sheng Sheng nor Xie Yunqi stopped them. Those two notorious thieves had only themselves to blame; they not only stole things but also bullied people.
When they return to the palace in a few days, these two will definitely be escorted back to the palace and thrown into the imperial prison together.
There are many ways to torture people in the prison. All I can say is that they deserve to be in their hands.
Who told them to do bad things?
Sheng Sheng was silently complaining in her heart when she suddenly remembered something very important.
What was that short, skinny man saying they had stolen something from somewhere?
He racked his brains to recall.
"We're going to die anyway, so let's kill him and rush out to fight it out. Let him put us on the wanted list, whatever. At worst, we'll sell the herb for a good price, take the money, and run away to another country to hide!"
