Feng Yuheng was getting more and more exhausted, but the number of black-clothed men in front of him was increasing. Huang Quan saw that things were not going well, so he pulled Feng Yuheng to defend himself while retreating: "Miss, there is a river behind us, let's retreat there."
"Okay." She didn't dare to say anything more, didn't dare to waste any energy, and just let Huang Quan drag her mechanically towards the river.
When a knife came at her, she would turn her head according to the sound of the wind. Sometimes, if she turned too slowly, a small part of her head would be cut off.
She could vaguely hear the sound of running water and thought that the river was not far away. But what could she do when she got to the river? She hadn't told Huang Quan that she couldn't swim at all!
While he was distracted, a man in black appeared in front of him. Feng Yuheng was annoyed and ruthless. He shook off Huang Quan's hand and stabbed the man in black's carotid artery.
The man in black didn't take her seriously at all. Although she looked like a little girl in her early teens, she looked weak and didn't look like she had any lethal power. So she didn't dodge Feng Yuheng's palm.
But people often lose because of carelessness. Feng Yuheng was indeed exhausted, but the man in black didn't expect that she still had a few silver needles in her hand. The most important thing was that those were the anesthetic needles she had taken out from the space.
Several needles were injected into the carotid artery, and the man suddenly stopped all movements as if frozen in time. Even the knife fell from his hand. Then he closed his eyes and fainted.
Huang Quan was startled, thinking that Feng Yuheng was in trouble. He turned around and saw that it was Feng Yuheng who had solved a problem. He couldn't help but give her a thumbs up: "Miss, you are awesome!"
She smiled bitterly. There weren't many opportunities to get close to an opponent. She might not be so lucky with every opponent she met. What's more... it was really tiring! Her lungs were about to explode from exhaustion.
The two retreated all the way to the riverside, which was a very wide river with a slow and quiet flow. Feng Yuheng remembered that he had passed by this river when he returned to Beijing from Xiping Village. He didn't expect to be chased by someone when he came again.
Huang Quan grabbed her hand, beat back another enemy, and shouted, "Miss, jump into the river and escape first! I'll cover you!"
Feng Yuheng wanted to say "I can't swim", but before she could say it, she saw the group of men in black suddenly change their tactics, retreating one after another, turning their knives into arrows. The arrowheads were all dyed dark green, obviously poisoned.
Feng Yuheng thought something was wrong, and no longer cared whether he could swim or not. He pulled Huang Quan and jumped hard, and jumped into the river with a splash.
Huang Quan pulled Feng Yuheng down quickly, in order to avoid the poisonous arrows that broke through the water surface.
Feng Yuheng tried hard to open his eyes wide and looked at the water surface. There was a green venom gradually spreading. After watching for a while, he didn't see any red blood, so he was relieved.
Unfortunately, he held his last breath to his limit, and after gurgling twice, his consciousness began to blur.
She vaguely saw Huang Quan nervously hugging her and swimming forward desperately. She wanted to tell Huang Quan not to be afraid, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the river water instantly poured in. Feng Yuheng closed her eyes helplessly and lost the last bit of consciousness...
The second young lady of the Feng family went to the street to check the shops and did not return until the evening.
Rumors were spreading in the capital city. No one knew when and where they started, but some people began to say that the Second Miss Feng had been kidnapped by criminals. Now it was almost nightfall, and if she couldn't be found, her reputation would be ruined.
In fact, there is no need to wait until nightfall. As long as a girl is successfully kidnapped, her reputation will be gone.
At this moment in the Feng Mansion, all the masters gathered in the main hall of the Peony Courtyard. Each of them had a solemn expression and even breathed cautiously.
After a while, a maid ran in hurriedly, holding a muddy shoe in her hand: "Someone said that this was picked up by the river outside the city."
Feng Fendai was the first to lean over and take a look. She recognized them at a glance: "These are my second sister's shoes. I saw her wearing them. She was wearing these shoes when the Royal Highness came down today."
Xiang Rong frowned, "Fourth sister, please don't talk nonsense. Second sister was clearly wearing a long skirt that fell to the ground this morning. When did she ever expose her feet to anyone?"
"How can there be none?" Feng Fendai insisted on her own eyesight, "I saw it, it's this pair."
"Alright." Feng Jinyuan waved his hand, "Put your shoes here and go down."
The girl put the shoes in the middle of the room and left in a hurry.
Feng Jinyuan looked at the old lady and said, "Mother, what do you think we should do about this matter?"
The old lady felt that she had been unlucky recently. Shen was brought to the palace, and Feng Yuheng disappeared. Who was going to deal with the Feng family?
"Have you sent people to look for him?" The old lady asked Feng Jinyuan, "This matter cannot be taken lightly. The people in Prince Yu's Mansion are watching."
Feng Jinyuan nodded, "Of course I've been looking for him. My son has sent several groups of people out, but there's no news. As for Prince Yu's Mansion... I'm afraid they've already received the news. But it's also possible that His Highness is still in the palace and hasn't heard about it."
Feng Chenyu wiped away her tears and said sadly, "Second sister finally got her happy ending after all the hardships, how could something like this happen again? What is she going to do in the future?"
Feng Fendai agreed, "Yes, the flowers are broken and the willows are withered. Prince Yu will definitely cancel the engagement."
Even though Feng Zirui was very young, he understood that Fendai's words did not sound good for her sister, so he immediately refused to listen - "My sister is not a fallen woman! That powerful prince will not abandon my sister!"
"Tsk." Feng Zihao, who had to be carried on a soft chair to sit in the main hall, rolled his eyes at Zirui with disdain, "Marrying a woman who has been used before is a great shame for the royal family. What do you know at such a young age?"
"Young Master is an adult, but why did you say such irresponsible words?" Yao suddenly raised her head and glared at Feng Zihao. "The Second Miss is your sister no matter what. It's okay if she's unfriendly, but why are you adding insult to injury at this time? What's more, the person is just missing, and the master and the old lady haven't said anything. Why is the young master so eager to make a conclusion?"
"Oh!" Feng Zihao didn't expect that Yao, whom he had always bullied, would dare to stand up for his daughter one day.
He perked up, "Then Aunt Yao, what did our Second Young Miss do? Ah? Tsk tsk, she even took off her shoes. Who would believe her if she said she was innocent?"
Yao was not good at quarreling with others, especially with such a scoundrel, and she could not get through even three sentences. However, Feng Zirui was still young and dared to say anything, and he even said: "Big brother, if you say that to me again, that powerful prince will whip you!"
When talking about this, Feng Zihao felt the burning pain from Xuan Tianming's whipping during the day. He hated Xuan Tianming to death, but he had no way to deal with him. He was a prince, a son of the dragon, what was he?
He couldn't help but glance at Feng Jinyuan, and seeing that Feng Jinyuan was also shooting a pair of angry eyes at him, Feng Zihao shrank his neck in fear and dared not say anything more.
The old lady tapped the ground with her staff heavily, coughed twice and said, "Yao is right. It's not the time to make a conclusion yet. The people we sent out haven't come back yet, so let's wait a little longer. In addition," she looked at Feng Jinyuan, "Jinyuan, you have to think of a way to shut up the people in Beijing. If the rumors continue like this, the fake ones will be passed on as true."
Feng Jinyuan nodded and replied, "Yes."
Then everyone fell silent again.
When Feng Yuheng opened his eyes, he had no idea where he was.
The crystal bead curtain in front of her almost made her think that she had traveled back to the modern era, but when she looked at the furnishings in the house again, she gave up that bold idea.
The beams are made of sandalwood and the curtains are made of crystal. A huge night-shining pearl hangs above the couch, emitting soft and gentle light like the bright moon.
She got up and went downstairs, not realizing that she had put on a new underdress. The cotton was made of soft silk and was extremely comfortable to wear.
Looking down again, I found that the ground was paved entirely with mutton-fat white jade, with colored glaze beads embedded inside. Every other step was carved with a lotus flower, which was so delicate that even the stamens were clearly visible. At first glance, it made people's hearts calm down.
Feng Yuheng was amazed.
Even though her Tongshengxuan was decorated with all the goodies sent by Xuan Tianming, it was not as luxurious as this.
She walked onto the ground barefoot. As soon as she stepped onto the ground, she felt that the white jade ground was slightly warm and soft to the touch, which made her want to lie on it.
At this moment, the door was pushed open. She was stunned and stared blankly at the strange girl who came in.
She is called a maid but doesn't look like a maid. The material of the clothes she wears seems to be better than those of the concubines in Feng Mansion. She is pretty and has light makeup on, which makes her look very pleasing to the eye.
Seeing Feng Yuheng wake up, the little girl put the tea tray in her hand on the table, and then bowed respectfully: "Miss, wake up!"
Doubts arose in her heart.
Calling her "Miss" instead of "Second Miss Feng" means that the place where she is now is not under the influence of the Feng family. This little girl's etiquette is also very good, which is not comparable to that of the girls trained in ordinary wealthy families.
Seeing Feng Yuheng was stunned, the girl didn't ask any more questions. She just walked forward and helped her to sit down next to the chair, poured her some tea, and then went to the couch to get her shoes and socks to help her put them on. Then she said, "Young lady, please have some tea first. The kitchen has prepared food. We'll serve it to you when you wake up and say you're hungry."
The little girl walked to the door while talking and waved outside. Immediately, another girl wearing the same clothes as her came forward and handed over the clothes in her hands. When the girl came back to her, Feng Yuheng realized that the clothes in her hands were exactly what she wore when she left Feng Mansion today.
"When the young lady fell into the water, I changed her clothes. I also washed her original set and fumigated it with spices. One of her shoes is missing, and Your Highness has ordered someone to make a copy of the original one. Although it won't be possible to make it exactly the same in a short time, I think it should be able to fool people's scrutiny."
"Your Highness?" Feng Yuheng frowned, "Which Your Highness?"
She only knew the Ninth Prince Xuan Tianming, but there had never been any mystery between her and Xuan Tianming, so why didn't he just come in and talk to her?
"Where is this?" she asked again.
The little girl smiled and replied, "This is Concubine Yun's Yuehan Palace."
She breathed a sigh of relief. Concubine Yun was Xuan Tianming's mother. Since she was in Yuehan Palace, the prince who saved her must be Xuan Tianming.
Unexpectedly, the little girl immediately added: "The prince you were asking about just now is the Seventh Prince."
"Seventh Prince?" [End of this chapter]
