Chapter 50 Kill all those who bullied her
Ye Yunchu held Li Ruanruan's cold hand. He wiped the blood off her face with a handkerchief, and said in a gentler tone than ever before: "Still looking. We'll find it by daybreak."
"Really? Were they not eaten by wild wolves? Can they really be found?"
Li Ruanruan hugged the prince's neck, her tears fell on his neck, and she sobbed.
Li Runrun thought, if this was just a dream, let her die in this dream.
At least she, her father and her brother had a good ending.
The prince was holding her in his arms at this moment. His embrace was warm and gave her a sense of security.
Ye Yunchu's hand gently patted Li Ruanruan's back, as if he was stroking the fur of a poor, injured and frightened cat.
"Ruanruan is tired and wants to sleep, so just sleep for a while."
Maybe it was because his voice was too alluring, or maybe Li Ruanruan was really exhausted, but she didn't know whether she fell asleep or fainted in his arms.
Torches lit up in the distance, and a man, his face covered in blood, accused the village's steward: "That guilty maid was so bold! When I caught her running away, she actually murdered me. I saw her running this way, yes, this way."
Ye Yunchu held Li Ruanruan in his arms and jumped onto Zhuifeng, letting Li Ruanruan lean on his arms. He saw that she frowned slightly when she heard the voice, as if she was worried about something.
Ye Yunchu covered Li Ruanruan's ears and gave the secret guard a look.
The secret guard mounted his horse and walked in front of Ye Yunchu: "How dare you! Who dares to offend the prince?"
Originally, this group of people came with great momentum to catch the escaped Li Ruanruan, but now they lost their momentum and knelt on the ground in an instant.
Then the manor's steward explained, "We had no intention of offending the prince. It was just that Nanny Wang sent a maid from the Marquis's residence who had committed a crime, but she injured someone and escaped, so we chased her out to check."
The Zhuangzi's steward also asked the secret guard: "I wonder if the master saw a maid run away?"
The secret guard shouted angrily: "How dare you!"
The steward was terrified and banged his head heavily on the ground, making a loud thud. Only then did he remember to ask the real matter: "I wonder what orders the young master has for you when you come to Qixia Manor?"
The secret guard said in a hostile tone: "Did you abuse that maid?"
Just as Zhuangzi's steward was about to answer, he was pulled by someone behind him, who indicated that he should look behind the secret guard to see if the person in the arms of the man riding a white horse, who was obviously of extraordinary status, was a maid.
The steward squinted his eyes and thought, oh no, could it be the maid who ran away?
Is it such a big deal?
The steward immediately kowtowed and said, "I haven't treated her harshly. It's just that Nanny Wang ordered a severe punishment, and I had no choice but to obey. I'll just make sure the maid gets up tomorrow morning to fetch water and chop wood."
Ye Yunchu smiled coldly: "Since Nanny Wang likes coming to the farm so much, she can stay here to fetch water and chop firewood."
Zhuangzi's steward: "This...this Wang Ma is the mistress's capable assistant..."
The secret guard scolded: "Just follow the orders of the prince."
Zhuangzi's steward immediately kowtowed again, thinking: "Yes, yes!"
My head was broken and I was afraid that I would be the next to suffer.
The guard glanced at the man kneeling beside him, his face covered in blood, as if he had been petrified by fear. He was old and dark-skinned. He must have been blinded by a concubine while attempting to commit a crime.
The secret guard looked at Ye Yunchu, received his gaze, and drew his sword to cut off his head neatly.
Blood was splattered all over the floor.
"drive!"
“Gee!”
By the time the stunned crowd came to their senses, the prince and the secret guards had already disappeared into the night on horseback.
"Kill, kill people!"
They looked at the person with his head and body separated on the ground, and were so scared that they screamed and ran away. The manager who was nearby vomited while running, and the timid ones fainted on the side of the road and were carried away.
Now no one dared to underestimate the maid who was sent here because of a crime. After all, she was the one who could make the prince appear late at night to rescue her.
The prince got angry and chopped someone down as easily as chopping a watermelon. The person died without even a scream, and the eye that was not blind was wide open.
Li Runrun felt groggy and dizzy all over. Even her dreams seemed to be spinning. She felt nauseous and uncomfortable.
Then she felt something bitter being fed into her mouth. It was so bitter that her face wrinkled and she shed tears.
Then a large, dry and warm hand stroked her forehead, and there was the sound of water, as if someone was gently washing the dirt off her body.
Li Runrun wanted to open her eyes and looked, but she tried with all her strength, but she could only open her eyes a crack and saw a blurry figure, just a shadow, and she couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman.
I only know that the other person is very gentle.
She sweated a lot and then fell into a very deep sleep.
When Li Runrun woke up, it was as if she had died and come back to life. She couldn't say she felt comfortable, but compared to her previous condition, she felt like she had survived a disaster.
It makes people feel that it’s really good to be alive.
Li Runrun rubbed her eyes and looked at this strange place.
The house is built with bamboo and is filled with the fragrance of bamboo. Through the open windows, you can see the bamboo forest outside.
The quilt on the bed was clean and comfortable.
Li Runrun touched the material and found it was something she could not afford at all. It looked like the style that the prince often used.
Li Runrun lowered her head and smelled it, and she really smelled the sandalwood scent on the quilt.
She is...
Where?
Everything that happened last night flashed through her mind. Wasn't that her fantasy before death or a dream?
Really...
The prince.
Why would the prince come to a manor like that so late at night?
Is it for her?
Li Runrun's heart suddenly beat wildly, and she couldn't control herself at all, beating wildly for the prince.
Then I remembered that my father and brother didn’t know the situation yet.
Li Runrun hurriedly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, but her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
A little maid ran in hurriedly, helped her up, and gestured to her anxiously.
Li Ruanruan looked at her: "Are you mute?"
The other party nodded.
Li Ruanruan was a little skeptical: "Can you hear it?"
The other party nodded again.
Li Ruanruan was a little frightened: "Your tongue was cut?"
The maid quickly waved her hands and smiled again, showing Li Runrun her beautiful tongue.
Li Ruanruan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you sick?"
The maid nodded.
Li Runrun only then realized from her gestures that she had been in a coma for three days.
It’s been so long. How could I sleep for so long?
Li Ruanruan hurriedly grabbed the maid's hand and asked, "Where is the prince? Where is the prince? I want to see the prince."
The maid gestured, but Li Runrun couldn't understand.
The maid's eyes lit up, and she went to the desk beside her and handed the note left by the prince to Li Runrun.
Li Ruanruan unfolded the note and saw two words:
"Late home."
Do you mean coming back at night?
Li Runrun hurried to look at the sky.
