As dusk approached, the horse finally stopped in a grove of trees near the riverbank.
The kidnapper jumped off his horse and reached out to help Yuan Yao up: "Dismount!"
As soon as Yuan Yao managed to stand up, his hands and feet were bound.
She struggled and said, "Anyway, I can't run away, can you untie me? It's so uncomfortable being tied up like this..."
"No!" the kidnapper said.
He abandoned her and turned to tie up his horse.
Yuan Yao struggled again.
Her fair and delicate skin was immediately marked with a red line.
Yuan Yao: "..."
Heaven is indeed fair.
She was given a father of unparalleled beauty, a bodyguard with superb martial arts skills, but unfortunately, she was also given a useless body that couldn't learn martial arts...
Yuan Yao glanced around and said to the kidnappers, "There aren't any wolves, bears, or tigers here, are there?"
"If you tie me up like this, what if wolves or tigers come and eat me?"
The kidnapper tied up the horse and said to her, "Stop arguing with me! Shut your mouth and say nothing!"
If you don't shout, you won't attract wolves and tigers.
I'll go fetch some water and gather some firewood to start a fire.
You'd better behave and not think about running away.
While you were unconscious, I fed you poison. If you dared to escape, I wouldn't give you the antidote and would poison you to death!
Yuan Yao: "..."
What a vicious person.
She found a clean tree root, jumped over and sat down, leaning against the tree, and said to the kidnapper, "Even poison isn't as poisonous as you."
The kidnapper snorted and pointed the water bag at her: "I'm warning you, behave yourself!"
Your powerful father and your bodyguards can't get there in time to save you.
Even if they come, only I know the antidote.
I'm going to fetch water and gather firewood first; you wait here for me to return!
Yuan Yao: "..."
This is similar to saying, "You just stand here, and I'll go buy you oranges."
The kidnappers abandoned the carriage and switched to horses, presumably to mislead those trying to rescue her.
However, she underestimated the Dark Guard Camp...
Through the sparse branches and leaves, Yuan Yao saw the kidnapper bend over, scooping up water to wash his face, then his hands, and drinking water.
After fetching the water, the kidnapper hung the water bag on his waist and went to find firewood...
The sky gradually darkened.
The woods were extremely quiet.
Only the horse tethered nearby occasionally snorted.
For a time, Yuan Yao was utterly bored.
Suddenly, she caught a faint, cool fragrance.
She knew that taste all too well!
Clouds murmur!
Yun Chan actually found her!
A dark figure landed beside her and asked in a low voice, "Are you injured?"
Upon seeing the person who arrived, Yuan Yao said pitifully, "Yun Chan!"
Her hands and feet feel so numb...
"Sorry I'm late."
Yun Chan knelt on one knee and leaned over to untie her...
His voice was cold and slightly hoarse.
Yuan Yao shook her head: "You've arrived just in time!"
She was taken out of the Imperial Guard camp while unconscious.
Later, to mislead the kidnappers, they brought her here alone on horseback and also used a carriage to confuse the area...
It's already amazing that Yunchan was able to find us so quickly!
After all, this place is about one or two hundred miles away from Beijing...
Yun Chan untied the ropes and helped her up: "Wait for me here. I'll kill the kidnappers and take you back to the capital right away."
Did they kill the kidnappers?
Yuan Yao quickly said, "Yun Chan, wait a moment!"
Yun Chan looked down at her: "What's wrong?"
Yuan Yao bit her lip: "The kidnapper said that she fed me poison while I was unconscious."
She also said that only she knew the formula for the antidote…
poison?
Yun Chan's beautiful pupils reflected Yuan Yao's rosy face.
How could she possibly be poisoned?
Yun Chan took Yuan Yao's hand and took her pulse.
really.
Even the usually quirky and clever Princess Yuan Yao can be fooled...
How can they be so easily fooled?
Yun Chan shook her head.
Yuan Yao didn't notice Yun Chan's actions; her attention was entirely focused on Yun Chan's ability to take pulses.
She was surprised and curious: "Yun Chan, you can actually take a pulse?"
Yun Chan raised her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips: "I learned it from my uncle."
Uncle?
Wow!
Her uncle secretly taught Yun Chan medical skills without her knowledge!
Yuan Yao: "Yun Chan, tell me the truth, besides martial arts and medicine, what else can you do?"
Yun Chan gently placed her long, slender fingers on her pulse, a slight smile playing on her lips, her voice cool and detached: "I will still like you."
Yuan Yao: "!!!"
How tacky!
But why is she blushing and her heart racing uncontrollably?
Yuan Yao said irritably, "Why are you being so blunt?"
Yun Chan glanced sideways: "If you like someone, why can't you just say it directly?"
Yuan Yao: "..."
Yun Chan smiled and said, "Do you know that many unhappy couples in this world are created because of their roundabout and secretive ways of getting things done?"
Yuan Yao: "..."
Yuan Yao's face turned bright red, and she tried to pull her hand back.
Yun Chan pressed her fingers down firmly: "Don't move."
Yuan Yao: "..."
This is terrible!
A person who is usually aloof and reserved can surprisingly be quite captivating when they speak sweet words...
Yuan Yao's face was burning.
She coughed lightly and began to look around.
At this moment, Yun Chan released her: "You're not poisoned."
Not poisoned?
Yuan Yao withdrew her gaze, immediately feeling indignant: "She deliberately lied to me and scared me!"
Yun Chan frowned and said, "Wait for me here. I'll go kill her and take you back to the capital immediately."
ah……
Yuan Yao grabbed Yun Chan's sleeve: "Wait a minute!"
Yun Chan turned to look at her.
Yuan Yao hesitated and said, "I suspect... the person who kidnapped me is Consort Liang from Ye Changyou!"
Consort Liang?
Yun Chan's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Why did Ye Changyou's concubine kidnap Yuan Yao?
The night is long and dark...
Yun Chan raised her hand and tucked a stray strand of hair behind Yuan Yao's cheek: "Do you want to know why she kidnapped you?"
Yuan Yao nodded: "I want to!"
Yun Chan smiled faintly, "Then you'll have to put up with this for a moment and do something for me."
Yuan Yao: "?"
Before she could ask, Yun Chan lowered her voice and said, "She's back."
Yuan Yao immediately perked up her ears.
Sure enough, she heard a noise.
The kidnapper was carrying a bundle of firewood and struggling to come this way.
Seeing that Yuan Yao hadn't run away and was still bound by rope, the kidnapper threw the firewood on the ground and sighed, "I'm exhausted!"
Yuan Yao said, "If you're tired, untie me and I'll start a fire."
"Start a fire?" The kidnapper looked up and questioned, "You, a pampered little princess, would do such a rough job as starting a fire?"
Yuan Yao: "..."
Does she look that stupid?
Yuan Yao retorted irritably, "I'm not some fairy who drinks the wind and dew, I'm not so bad that I can't even ignite a fire!"
The kidnapper looked up and sized her up.
A moment later, the kidnapper said, "I'll untie you, you'd better behave yourself!"
At night, the mountains are teeming with wolves, tigers, and leopards; you'd better not get any funny ideas!
If you try to run away and get carried off by wolves, I'm not coming to save you!
"Okay!" Yuan Yao smiled sweetly.
The kidnapper glanced around to make sure everything was alright before walking towards Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao squinted.
Ten steps, five steps, three steps...
Taking advantage of the kidnappers' inattention, Yuan Yao suddenly raised her hand.
The rope hit the ground, sending a cloud of white dust flying.
The kidnapper was shocked and quickly raised his hand to cover his nose.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The kidnapper stared in surprise and anger, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground: "You...you cheated!"
Yuan Yao clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Not only am I going to cheat, I'm going to strip you naked."
"Where should I start?"
