Chapter 176 Escape 5
The Marquis' wife did not expect to be questioned by Ye Yunchu in this way. She was immediately heartbroken and tears fell.
"What did we do? How could we not tolerate a maidservant like us? Yun'er, you are really wronging our parents. Li Ruanruan escaped on her own during the chaos!"
After a pause, the Marquis's wife continued, "You said that Mother didn't think highly of her. Mother admits it, but how could you say such vicious things about Mother?"
The Marquis's wife lowered her head and wiped her tears with her handkerchief.
The Marquis raised his hand and slapped Ye Yunchu: "You are too presumptuous. You made such a fuss just for a concubine. How can you be so shameless."
The Marquis's wife stopped him again: "Why are you hitting him? He's worried because he's missing! If you have the time to hit him, why don't you find him?"
The Marquis swung his sleeves and glared at his wife: "It's all your fault!"
There was a slap mark on Ye Yunchu's face, but he watched the scene numbly and calmly.
It wasn't her parents who did it, she really ran away on her own.
Why?
Why........
How could he treat her badly? He had already promised her the position of noble concubine, which was already too high for her status.
She was just a lowly servant, and he held her in such high esteem, what else could she not be satisfied with?
What else are you not satisfied with?
Why!
Escape!
The more Ye Yunchu thought about it, the redder his eyes became, and they were filled with hostility.
The Marquis gave the order: "Take the prince back to the East Courtyard and lock him up. Don't let him out again tonight. Keep a close eye on him."
The guards around the Marquis stepped forward, but Ye Yunchu retreated.
The guard saluted: "My Lord, I'm sorry."
The guards were about to rush over to capture Ye Yunchu.
Ye Yunchu blew a whistle, and his secret guards stood in front of him.
Ye Yunchu turned and ran.
He suddenly pushed open the door of Qingfeng Bamboo Garden. There was still a faint fragrance belonging to Li Runrun in the room, which was the plum fragrance she developed.
It smells cool and pleasant, refreshing.
Nothing was taken away.
Ye Yunchu looked around and found that she had taken nothing away from him.
Did she really escape on her own?
Where did she escape to?
No, something is still missing.
The jade pendant he gave her was taken away by her, and the gold ingots he rewarded her with were also gone.
Ye Yunchu walked over quickly, looked under the bed, reached out his hand, and touched a movable green brick.
He removed a few loose blue bricks and found the soil underneath was soft. This was where she hid her private money.
It was not until this moment that Ye Yunchu was certain that she had really escaped.
Just run away like this without leaving anything behind?
As much as Ye Yunchu didn't believe that Li Runrun had escaped at the beginning, he was now very hurt.
He loves her so much, how can she be worthy of him.
All the love he gave her turned into sharp, cold daggers, each one piercing his chest and heart more fiercely than the last, breaking his heart.
At this moment, a strong hatred arose.
We must catch her and break her legs so that she won't dare to do such a thing again.
Ye Yunchu's eyes were red and full of anger. He had completely lost his mind and turned around to go to the stable.
Ye Yunchu led out Zhuifeng, who was still eating grass, and rode away on his horse.
Far away from the bustling and wealthy marquis's mansion, he was alone, without anyone, galloping on his horse on the empty streets late at night.
The soldiers guarding the city stopped him and said, "My Lord, it's curfew. The city gates are sealed. You are strictly prohibited from going out."
Ye Yunchu showed his token: "Let him pass!"
The officers and soldiers took a look at the token and were unable to make a decision. They went to ask for instructions from their superiors before opening the door and letting Ye Yunchu out.
Although Ye Yunchu was allowed to go out with a token, his behavior was enough for the censors to report him to the court tomorrow. Instead of having a proper wedding night, he broke into the city gate at night. How disgraceful!
Even if I gain the favor of the emperor again, I will definitely be punished.
Just wait for the beating.
Ye Yunchu galloped forward in pursuit until dawn. His wedding clothes were all wrinkled and his hair, which was neatly tied under the golden jade crown, was now scattered with a few strands.
The whole person looked so embarrassed, but his eyes were always clear, staring at the official road.
Li Runrun slept at the post station yesterday and continued to sit in the prince's ostentatious and luxurious carriage today.
She was smart and guessed that the prince would not send her far.
After all, this carriage is too ostentatious. If the prince is assassinated, it will be a big deal. Even if the prince insists on doing it, there will be people around him to stop him.
Li Runrun said nothing because she knew that she would be free soon.
Just then, Li Runrun heard the sound of horse hooves outside, but she didn't take it seriously.
After all, there were too many horses traveling on the official road, and the sound of their hooves was just particularly hurried and chaotic.
Li Runrun even yawned. The incense the prince had was too calming, and her pregnant body made her more sleepy than ordinary people.
"Your Highness!"
It turned out to be Ye Yunchu's voice.
Li Ruanruan froze in the middle of a yawn, her whole body frozen in place.
Why is the prince outside?
How could he possibly catch up? And so fast.
Xiao Jing put down the book in his hand. After walking for a day and a half, he had changed several books.
At this time, he raised his eyes, met Li Runrun's gaze, and stood up to go out to meet Ye Yunchushi.
Xiao Jing said, "Don't move, hide."
Li Bai rushed over and grabbed Li Runrun's hand tightly. It was obvious that they were both very panicked. Li Runrun also held Li Bai's hand tightly back.
The prince actually chased after him and caught up with him.
He got married last night. Did he ride a horse all night?
impossible.
But this is the only way to catch up with them.
he.......
Li Ruanruan's heart was in a knot.
Listening to the conversation outside.
Xiao Jing opened the curtain and looked at the rather embarrassed Ye Yunchu, his tone still a little surprised: "Isn't Xiuzhu getting married? Why is he here?"
As soon as Xiao Jing raised his hand, the whole team stopped.
Ye Yunchu looked at Xiao Jing, and he also tightened the reins to stop the horse.
He looked at Xiao Jing with bloodshot eyes: "Your Highness, have you seen my concubine along the way?"
"What happened?"
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Your Highness, but my concubine took advantage of the chaos in the mansion after my wedding and escaped. Calculating the time, Your Highness should have met her. Could she provide me with some clues?"
Xiao Jing frowned: "I didn't notice this. Dequan, did you pay attention?"
Eunuch Dequan came over, flicked his whisk, and said, "Oh, this old servant really didn't notice it, but he must have not seen it, otherwise this old servant would have remembered it."
Ye Yunchu then said, "Your Highness, could you allow me to inspect the team?"
Dequan said directly: "That's unlikely. How could she sneak into your Highness's team? Wouldn't that cause chaos?"
Xiao Jing scolded: "Dequan."
Dequan bowed and slapped himself twice: "You old slave, you are too talkative."
Xiao Jing raised his chin: "Just check it out, it's a small matter."
Ye Yunchu first rode a horse and searched the prince's troops thoroughly.
Li Runrun listened to the noise outside, her heart in her throat. She saw the hanging veil, picked it up and put it on herself and Li Bai, and then she felt a little relieved.
But when I heard the sound of horse hooves passing outside the carriage, my heart still tightened.
