Chapter 14: Escape
Chen Mingan hired a carriage and took Zhu Huaizhen back to the original place.
However, the place was in a mess.
The prison van was empty, with traces of fighting remaining around it and the smell of blood lingering for a long time.
Seeing this, Zhu Huaizhen was overjoyed, and his eyes became clear and bright.
Zhu Huaizhen guessed that it was his elder sister Zhu Huaishu who found a way to kidnap his father and mother and settle them down.
However, she couldn't show it too obviously. After all, she had injured the Nanyan guards. If she upset Chen Ming'an, it would be bad if he continued to track her. So, she tried hard to suppress her eyebrows that were about to arch.
Chen Mingan glanced at him with a cold expression.
Chen Ming'an didn't think it was done by the remnants of Southern Wu.
He had a mortal enemy in Southern Yan who specifically opposed him and never tired of doing so.
Besides, there is no Nanchu here, so it is hard to guarantee that Nanchu will develop ulterior motives.
After all, controlling Emperor Wu Zhang and Concubine Xue is equivalent to controlling Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen, and then slowly unearthing the treasures of the Great Zhou that Zhu Huaizhen knows.
"Ouch, why do I feel uncomfortable..." Zhu Huaizhen covered his head and acted weak and fragile.
Chen Mingan thought it was funny, but didn't expose it.
He'd better continue on his way.
The person who kidnapped Emperor Wu Zhang and Concubine Xue had the ultimate target of Zhu Huaizhen.
Therefore, the other party will contact Zhu Huaizhen sooner or later, and he just needs to keep a close eye on Zhu Huaizhen.
Unfortunately, Zhu Huaizhen didn't have this awareness and only wanted to escape.
"Chen Mingan, I want to go to the toilet." Zhu Huaizhen twisted his little body and wrinkled his little face.
Chen Mingan didn't think much about it at first. He turned his back to her and cleared his mind.
As a result, she ran faster than a rabbit and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When I find this little bastard, I will break his legs. Chen Mingan thought so viciously, but when he caught Zhu Huaizhen, he only tied the wrists of both of them with a cowhide rope.
"Chen Mingan, I want to take a bath." Zhu Huaizhen's little face flushed.
After hearing this, Chen Mingan led Zhu Huaizhen to the creek, but did not untie the cowhide rope.
"Chen Ming'an, I'm still a virgin and I can't lose my innocence." Zhu Huaizhen was so angry that he stomped his feet.
It would have been fine if Zhu Huaizhen didn't mention this matter. As soon as he mentioned it, Chen Mingan was filled with anger.
Zhu Huaizhen is a fickle man. He had been having an affair with an actor a long time ago, but the actor was not as good-looking as him.
"Zhu Huaizhen, don't challenge my patience." Chen Ming'an gritted his teeth, his face frighteningly gloomy.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen finally calmed down.
She was already a princess of a fallen country, not a princess of glory.
And the man in front of her destroyed everything for her, both in her past life and this life.
She has been really out of her mind these days and actually flirted with Chen Mingan.
So, for several days in a row, Zhu Huaizhen was like a quail, following Chen Mingan quietly.
Chen Mingan was not used to it, but said nothing.
It was not until he left Southern Chu and entered the territory of Southern Yan that Chen Mingan finally untied the cowhide rope.
"Zhu Huaizhen, as long as you behave yourself and be my concubine, you will have a safe and smooth life." Chen Mingan felt much more cordial when he heard the familiar accent, and his tone became much kinder.
He wanted to kiss Zhu Huaizhen's forehead, as usual, but Zhu Huaizhen dodged him.
Zhu Huaizhen felt that Chen Mingan was very strange.
She and Chen Mingan were separated by national hatred and family feuds. Why would Chen Mingan think that she, Zhu Huaizhen, would give in? She was in love before, but that didn't mean she was still in love now.
At night, Chen Ming'an checked into an inn and shared a room with Zhu Huaizhen.
Zhu Huaizhen slept on the bed, and Chen Mingan slept on the couch.
Above the pearl-floor porcelain stove, a faint gentleman's incense burned, cool but not cold.
Chen Mingan prefers Junzixiang, which makes him sleep soundly.
Zhu Huaizhen tossed and turned, and in a trance, she heard someone calling her, "Little fool."
