Chapter 101 He Lures the Tiger Away from the Mountain
Zhuo Yu caught the ice gourd pill, but he fell to the ground, causing him to feel the pain from the previous collision again. He thought he should go back and take it off to have a look. He estimated that his whole body was covered with bruises.
Fortunately, he caught the ice gourd. He breathed a sigh of relief, then jumped up with a somersault and lost sight of the female thief again.
He immediately chased in the opposite direction and jumped directly onto the roof, where he could see the female thief's figure.
At this moment, Mo Yunzhu actually did not walk far, because she knew that she could not outrun Zhuo Yu's eyes.
He could only hide and let himself think that she was far away, then he would leave.
Zhuo Yu frowned. He didn't believe that the female thief could run so fast. There was no trace of her in the streets and alleys. She must have hidden herself.
Zhuo Yu sneered and squatted on the roof without moving, but his ears and eyes were more sensitive than those of an owl.
Time passed slowly, and Mo Yunzhu felt anxious. After three o'clock in the morning, there would be more people on the street. It would be strange if someone didn't get suspicious if they saw her in this outfit.
This damn Zhuo Yu is indeed patient.
Sure enough, the night watchman rang at three o'clock in the morning. Mo Yunzhu frowned and immediately saw that oil lamps were lit in the windows of some houses.
After all, many people want to do the morning market.
Just as she gritted her teeth and prepared to fight, Zhuo Yu suddenly stood up and flew out.
But it was not in the direction of Mo Yunzhu, which made Mo Yunzhu stunned. Soon she saw a figure swaying on the roof not far away.
Zhuo Yu went towards that figure.
Mo Yunzhu frowned slightly, then immediately left in the opposite direction and soon returned to her own courtyard in the general's mansion.
As soon as she returned, many of the general's servants were about to get up.
Mo Yunzhu immediately washed up and lay down. She was wondering who that black shadow was just now?
The more I think about it, the more it seems like it can't be such a coincidence. It's as if she did it on purpose to attract Zhuo Yu's attention. Is this to give her time to escape?
Thinking of this, Mo Yunzhu's face changed. If there really was someone who wanted to help her lure the tiger away from the mountain, it must be Jun Huolan's people.
In fact, Chang Teng put down his things and returned to the General's Mansion as soon as possible, but when he found that the eldest lady had not returned, he was shocked and went to Prince Lan's Mansion again.
Then Prince Lan told him to return home immediately and their people would go look for the eldest lady.
He breathed a sigh of relief only when he saw the light on in the eldest lady's room.
Mo Yunzhu couldn't sleep and felt very uneasy. When she heard the roosters crowing outside, she came out dressed in formal attire and carrying a package.
"Miss." Chang Teng came in first.
Mo Yunzhu nodded, then told Yuan Qing that they were going to go out for a while, and left through the back door with Chang Teng.
At the back of Prince Lan's Mansion, Mo Yunzhu and Chang Teng closed the door immediately after entering.
"Miss, why are you here so early?" Hao Jiang asked immediately.
"Is your prince okay?" Mo Yunzhu asked.
Hao Jiang immediately shook his head and said, "My Lord, you are fine, but you haven't woken up yet."
"I'll go take a look." Mo Yunzhu went straight to Xuanji Courtyard.
The whole yard was quiet, as if no one had woken up yet.
"Miss." Long Yi suddenly appeared with a strange look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Mo Yunzhu asked immediately.
"The prince hasn't gotten up yet." Long Yi said embarrassedly.
"Let me go in and take a look." Mo Yunzhu immediately walked into Jun Huolan's bedroom.
Long Yi looked at Hao Jiang, who frowned and said, "Your Highness would have been awake at this time of the day. Did something happen last night?"
Long Yi nodded and said softly, "The prince went out last night, but we didn't know. We just saw him come back and said he was a little tired and went to bed."
Hao Jiang's face changed drastically and he followed immediately.
Mo Yunzhu pushed open the door directly. Long Er was in the dark, and when he saw Mo Yunzhu he had no choice but to show up.
Mo Yunzhu saw that the figure on the bed didn't move at all, so she ran over immediately.
"Prince." Mo Yunzhu called out, but found that Jun Huolan still hadn't opened his eyes.
"Prince!" Hao Jiang said anxiously, "Prince!"
Mo Yunzhu immediately took his pulse, which made her face turn pale. She quickly took out a silver needle, opened his clothes and inserted the needle.
"Miss, Chang Teng came back last night and said that you didn't go back to the general's mansion, and the prince said he had to go out for a while." Long hesitated, "We couldn't stop him."
Suddenly Jun Huolan's body shook and he opened his eyes.
He saw Mo Yunzhu at first sight.
"Yunzhu, why are you here?" Jun Huolan saw that this was his bedroom and felt a little strange. They had not yet gotten married, and it was really inappropriate for Mo Yunzhu to enter his room.
Mo Yunzhu wanted to be angry, but she couldn't get angry when she thought about how he went out to save her. She could only say, "You used your inner strength, and the poison spread again, and you fell into a coma!"
Jun Huolan started coughing and glanced at Long Yi and Hao Jiang.
"Don't look at them. I know you lured Zhuo Yu away to save me, but do you know that you will die if you do this?"
"Zhuo Yu is very powerful, and you haven't come back yet. I'm afraid..." Jun Huolan could only say embarrassedly.
"Alas, even if he catches me, I will be fine. At most, my identity will be exposed. Don't be stupid next time." Mo Yunzhu frowned and said, "We must find the Thousand Bow Grass. Zhuo Yu hasn't gone yet. I have to force him. Don't use your internal energy anymore. Do you understand? The poison will spread and it will become more and more difficult to control."
Jun Huolan nodded quickly and asked, "How could Zhuo Yu keep up with you last night?"
Mo Yunzhu could only sigh and speak slowly, thinking that this enemy was really haunting her.
"How did you get rid of him?"
Jun Huolan said: "When I went to lure him away, I had already found a way to escape. He didn't even catch sight of me, but he knew you had an accomplice."
"Of course he knew. He followed us all the way. Fortunately, he didn't find us." Mo Yunzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Then she looked at Long Yida and asked, "How was the operation last night?"
Long Yi immediately became excited and said, "It's all gold, about 200,000 taels of gold. Hongmei Villa is really rich. We only took a small part of it. There are also many boxes of jewelry and silver piled up like a mountain."
Chang Qing also immediately said: "The security is very strict, there are quite a lot of people."
"Fortunately, they didn't find out. They didn't dare to tell anyone that the gold was missing. Otherwise, if the emperor asked about the origin of the gold, the queen wouldn't be able to answer." Long Yi said.
"By the way, we saw several young women locked up in the villa. They were all very beautiful. We wanted to release them, but we thought they wouldn't be able to escape, so we didn't do anything." Long Yi said, "Prince, Miss, they should be selling young and beautiful women. I heard that the women all have different accents."
Mo Yunzhu's violent temper was instantly revealed.
"It seems that the Zhao family is capable of doing all kinds of evil."
"The Zhao family should have sent these women to the backyards and harems of high-ranking officials in the imperial court," Jun Huolan said.
Mo Yunzhu's mind turned. Could it be that Concubine Hui was also bought back by the Zhao family?
