Chapter 435 Be the sharpest knife in my hand
Xiao Sanlang frowned, "Didn't you find anything?"
He took two quick steps back and forth with a sullen face, and suddenly said: "Immediately go to the city gate and ask if anyone from the envoy group has brought anything out of the city today."
Wei Cong slightly cupped his hands and turned to leave.
Xiao Sanlang was wandering in place with his hands behind his back, feeling a little anxious inside.
The rumors in the city came too suddenly, and they were obviously spread intentionally to ruin Yueyue's voice.
He initially suspected it was his father, but after entering the palace, he realized it was not.
No matter how confused Emperor Zhang He was and no longer wanted Yue Yue to be the crown prince, he would not send people to spread such rumors when the envoys from the four countries were around.
He asked Qin Mo and He Hong to investigate. King Rui was frightened at the imperial mausoleum. Although it contributed to the rumors, the rumors first spread in the teahouse near the Huitong Hall.
He didn't suspect Ye Heng at first, but when he heard that Xi Ye and the Northern Qi envoy wrote a letter of credence saying that they wanted to see Crown Prince Yunzhao and the Crown Princess, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Forget about the envoys from the Northern Qi Dynasty, the credentials signed by the envoys from Xiye must have been authorized by Ye Heng.
Ye Heng behaves strangely, but he will not do anything that is not good for Xi Ye.
Deliberately mentioning wanting to see Yueyue, especially at this time when rumors are flying everywhere, is obviously to confirm the fact that Yueyue is not in the palace.
It was at that time that he suddenly thought of the Gu insects raised by Prince An. He said that someone taught him how to raise them.
He heard that there were many people in Xiye who were good at cultivating gu, and the words of caution left by Prince An before his death... Although he didn't know the name behind it clearly, but now that he thought about it, he seemed to vaguely hear the word "night".
He was almost certain that this matter had something to do with Ye Heng. Could it be that he had guessed wrong?
But if it wasn't Ye Heng, who would be the one who took Yueyue away?
Suddenly there was the sound of gentle footsteps behind me.
Xiao Sanlang turned around and saw Ye Heng standing not far behind.
"Prime Minister Ye is going back?"
Ye Heng nodded, "I will leave early tomorrow morning to return to Xiye. Go back early to rest tonight."
He nodded slightly to Xiao Sanlang.
The moment the two of them passed each other, Xiao Sanlang stopped him and said, "Ye Xiang, stay here."
Ye Heng turned around and asked, "What else does Prince Xiao have to do?"
Xiao Sanlang took a step forward with a smile on his face, "It's nothing, I just want to remind Ye Xiang not to forget what he promised before.
At the end of February next year, my wife and I will personally go to Hexi to take over the land of the three states in Hexi, hoping that we can let go of it happily when the night comes."
Ye Heng's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his smile had a hint of evil charm, "Don't worry, if you don't belong to your true self, your true self will not occupy you for one more moment."
Xiao Sanlang's eyes were condensed, "Really? Ye Xiang is leaving tomorrow, so he won't take any luggage that doesn't belong to Ye Xiang, right?"
Ye Heng's lips curled up slightly, "If Prince Xiao is worried, you can send someone to carefully check the true luggage tomorrow.
But I'm afraid the result may disappoint you. If it doesn't belong to the true form, the true form will not be taken away, but if the true form has been obtained, no one can take it back."
After that, he chuckled lightly, turned and left.
Xiao Sanlang looked at his back and clenched his fists tightly.
For the first time in his life, he felt anxious and helpless. If he didn't have a trace of reason, he would have sent people to surround Ye Heng first.
"Your Highness." Wei Cong came back in a hurry, "My subordinates have already made inquiries. In the evening, only Princess Yong'an's car drove out of the city. She said she was going to the plum garden outside the city to enjoy plum blossoms and would not return to the city tonight.
The subordinates found out that there was a Xiye man in Princess Yong'an's motorcade, and he also brought a box with him.
My subordinates have already sent people to Meiyuan, and I believe there will be news soon."
Xiao Sanlang raised his hand, "No, let's leave the city immediately."
...
Su Yue woke up from the cold. When she opened her eyes, she found that she was huddled in an extremely small box.
The box was cramped and her hands and feet were tied together, just enough to bend over and lie down in the box.
"you're awake."
A faint voice sounded in my ears.
She raised her head and saw Ye Heng squatting in front of the box, looking at her with interest, "How do you feel now?"
As soon as he saw Ye Heng's face, a sharp pain rushed directly to his mind.
Su Yue closed her eyes subconsciously and tried to fight against the pain.
A whining flute sounded in my ears.
She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Ye Heng sitting by the box playing the flute.
Her sobs were low and hoarse, as if someone was crying in her ears, which made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
No, it cannot be affected by the sound of the flute.
Vaguely, Su Yue warned herself desperately. She pinched her palms with her remaining sanity and bit her lips desperately.
The palms of her hands were pinched and her lips were bitten. The smell of blood gradually filled her mouth, and the pain made her two points more awake than before.
"Ye Heng, where are you taking me?"
The sound of the flute stopped, and Ye Heng reached over, grabbed her chin, and forced her to let go of her lips.
"Tsk, you have such a strong willpower. After taking a bottle of medicine, you can still stay awake for two minutes.
Su Yue, you really make me more and more interested in the truth."
Su Yue raised her eyelids and said, "It's really my misfortune. Are you so sure that you can take me away?"
A low laugh escaped from Ye Heng's throat, with a hint of pride.
"Are you waiting for Xiao Chen to come and rescue you? Haha, to tell you the truth, your smart husband may have been sent to the Plum Garden outside the city by my old suspicions.
He never imagined that you would hide in the mezzanine of the original carriage and follow me to Xiye smoothly."
Su Yue frowned slightly, "Why are you taking me back to Xiye? Even if it is Xiye, aren't you afraid that I will escape on my own?"
Ye Heng laughed as if he heard a joke, "I'm afraid you don't know yet. At this moment, the entire capital knows the news that you were kidnapped.
Especially your ministers in Yunzhao were very angry when they were questioned and ridiculed by foreign envoys face to face.
Su Yue, even if you come back and your reputation for innocence is ruined, it is impossible for Yun Zhao to want a notorious Crown Princess.
And Xiao Chen, do you think he really doesn’t care about your innocence and reputation?"
He stretched out his hand to rub Su Yue's smooth chin, and his voice was cold and evil, "Su Yue, your retreat has been cut off by me. You can only follow me to Xiye and be the most powerful in my hand."
piece.
Your skills are high and your potential is endless. I will definitely tap out all your potential and become my sharpest knife on the battlefield in the future, capturing Yunzhao Kingdom's cities one after another for me."
Su Yue closed her eyes and ignored him, but was very surprised in her heart.
I didn't expect Ye Heng to have such great ambitions.
Seeing that she was silent, Ye Heng chuckled lightly, stood up and left.
The cage was not closed, and Su Yue did not dare to move, but tried to enter the space with consciousness again.
The time she can stay awake is getting shorter and shorter, and she must find a way to get out of trouble while she is awake.
However, the space still cannot be entered.
She bit her lip again in frustration.
Early the next morning, when it was dawn, the envoys from the four countries bid farewell to Zhang and the emperor at the same time, and embarked on their return journeys.
Xiye's motorcade left the city and headed southwest. Before they had gone very far, the road ahead was suddenly blocked.
