Chapter 354: Life and Death on a Snowy Night (Part 5)
Ye Heng's breathing stopped suddenly, and all the blood in his body froze at this moment!
At this moment, his mind went blank, with only one thought left - this man wanted to kill him!
Ye Heng didn't know where his blade came from, or how he managed to escape the eyes of those officers, but now he could clearly feel the cold sharpness.
As long as he makes the slightest move, the other party can kill him at any time!
Ye Heng swallowed hard, his hands shaking slightly unconsciously.
Just as he was about to turn his head, he felt the blade getting closer!
Feeling a stinging pain, Ye Heng stopped immediately!
His mind was spinning wildly as he began to wonder who wanted to kill him!
He has nothing left and was exiled to Tongbei, why are there still people who won't let him go!
Not only did they come all the way here to chase me, but they chose to do so just before we were about to arrive in Tongbei!
The more Ye Heng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and finally a name flashed through his mind.
At this moment, the man came up and whispered in a low voice: "Master Ye, this is enough."
Ye Heng suddenly opened his eyes wide!
He had heard this voice before!
——It’s in the Second Prince’s mansion!
He still remembered that he was forced by Han Yao to plead for Han Tong, because he didn't care about Han Tong's life or death, and even hoped that he could just die and be done with it. After being rejected by the second prince, he didn't say much.
But he clearly remembered that when he stood up to say goodbye, he bumped into someone head-on.
The man lowered his head slightly, so he didn't see what the face looked like, but the moment he stepped out of the door, he heard the man's voice: "Your Highness, please allow me to report."
Ye Heng has a good memory, so even though he didn't pay attention to that person at the time, he still remembered the other person's voice.
But he never expected that he would hear this voice again here!
What's not clear now?
It is the Second Prince who wants to kill him!
Ye Heng didn't know how this guy got into this group of prisoners, but he knew that the other party had been hiding for so long just to keep him here completely!
It was already night time and snowing heavily. Everyone was cold and hungry, so no one would notice what was happening between the two of them.
Ye Heng's eyes began to go dark, and his hands and feet became sore and weak.
--poisonous!
Ye Heng was filled with hatred and wanted to call for help, but he found that his tongue was numb and he could not speak.
Not only is the blade poisonous, it is also highly toxic and can take a person's life in a matter of minutes!
His vision gradually blurred, and Ye Heng's mind gradually became dizzy.
But he was unwilling!
He had done so much for the Second Prince before, and he was still waiting to return to the capital to resume his official position!
If I die here today, I will be nothing more than a wandering ghost!
Ye Heng almost bit out a mouthful of blood and rushed forward with his last bit of strength!
With a bang, he fell heavily to the ground!
This movement immediately attracted everyone's attention and they all looked over.
"What's going on?" An officer came up with a bad attitude and kicked Ye Heng's leg.
Ye Heng didn't move.
The fall just now had used up all of his remaining strength. Coupled with the hard fall, he saw stars in front of his eyes and almost fainted.
"This one doesn't work either?" the officer cursed. "Useless thing!"
The officer who had just sniffed the man's breath looked over here, and narrowed his eyes when he found that it was Ye Heng lying on the ground.
He walked over again: "This one doesn't seem to be dead yet, probably just frozen. Hey, can he still walk?"
Ye Heng wanted to speak, but only uttered a dull and weak whimper.
"Forget it, forget about him. He's going to die soon. Let's hurry up and leave! Otherwise, the snow will get even stronger and it will be hard to move. It's very easy to get lost in the snow. If we can't get to the post station in time tonight, we'll be doomed too!"
The officer's nose twitched slightly, his eyes stayed on Ye Heng's waist for a moment, and then quickly moved away.
He nodded and stood up.
"As you say."
He ignored Ye Heng and urged everyone to speed up: "Hurry up!"
The group was not surprised by this result. In this environment, if you can't leave by yourself, no one can help you. In the end there is only one result: leave your life behind!
Ye Heng also heard it. He realized that he was abandoned and suddenly became panicked. His breathing became rapid and he struggled to stand up.
But he had no strength in his hands and feet and couldn't get up.
Finally, the footsteps of those people gradually faded away - they really left!
Half of Ye Heng's body was buried in the snow and he gradually became hypothermic.
It was so cold that he couldn't help but curl up into a ball.
This seemed to help a little. He seemed to feel a little warmer, as if a warm current was flowing through his limbs.
Ye Heng closed his eyes and let out a long breath.
He hadn't felt this comfortable for a long time, and it was hard not to indulge in it.
Half asleep, he felt as if someone was coming again.
He wanted to open his eyes and take a look, but he was unable to do so. He could only vaguely hear strange whispers.
"He's here, he's still alive."
"He has injuries on his body and looks poisoned."
"Luckily the master told us to follow closely. If we were a little later, this guy would have frozen to death here. Let's carry him away!"
Ye Heng listened intermittently, and thought slowly that it seemed that there seemed to be more than one person coming, and they did not seem to be the officials just now, but... they seemed to know him?
Without time to think more, Ye Heng completely lost consciousness.
…
Ye Shixian, who was thousands of miles away, naturally knew nothing about what happened on that snowy night.
She slept soundly all night, but had nightmares all night long, so that when she woke up in the morning, her face was extremely haggard and there were red bloodshot in her eyes.
Shaoyao got up early and served carefully by the side, being extremely cautious with every move, for fear that Ye Shixian would mention what she said last night about sending her back home.
Ye Shixian slowly combed her hair in front of the mirror.
"How's it going outside?"
Shaoyao was stunned for a moment, but soon realized what she was asking and said hurriedly, "The news has spread. Now everyone in the streets is saying that Ye Chutang forced his aunt to death. I heard that someone secretly threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves in front of the Yunlai Tavern this morning, which was a very ugly scene."
A long-lost smile finally appeared on Ye Shixian's face.
But this smile on her thin and dull face seemed particularly strange.
"She should also know what it feels like to have a bad reputation."
Ye Shixian felt very satisfied. All the pain she had experienced during this period would one day be returned to Ye Chutang tenfold or a hundredfold!
Peony seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
Ye Shixian saw her expression in the mirror and her smile gradually disappeared.
"What do you want to say?"
Shaoyao quickly looked at her and said hesitantly, "Miss, besides these, there is another thing... I don't know who spread it, saying that the lady's death was suspected to be related to the flower tea that Mr. Murong sent before. What do you think if Mr. Murong heard it..."
"Miss!"
The servant came running over.
"Mr. Murong is here!"
