Chu Mengni walked to the window sill and could see the mist outside the house, the road paved with stones, wild flowers growing in twos and threes in the cracks of the stones, and moss covering the stones.
This kind of house must have been abandoned for a long time.
She couldn't figure out where this place was, let alone who had hijacked them. She was in a panic, but she acted calmly because she was afraid that he would worry.
Ouyang Shaogong sat back on the straw pile and stared at her blankly, as if he was looking at a treasure that was extremely precious in his life.
Why are you looking at her like this?
Chu Mengni approached him gently, sat next to him, and asked softly: "Does your head still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." He stared at her face without blinking.
"What are you thinking about?"
"I didn't think about anything."
"You don't want to know who kidnapped us?"
"It's useless to think about it, and our kidnappers will show up soon."
He is quite calm and composed, perhaps this is the style of a king.
Chu Mengni couldn't help but admire him secretly. She never knew that his husband could be so generous.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps was faintly heard in the distance. They gradually came closer. Each of the footsteps was very neat and seemed to be well-trained.
Ouyang Shaogong and Chu Mengni looked at each other, they finally arrived.
"Open the door." A rough voice shouted.
After a burst of iron collision, the door creaked open.
"Fifth brother, fifth sister-in-law, I'm here to see you." A laughing voice said.
Chu Mengni saw a handsome man in brocade clothes leading a group of guards in. There was an evil smile on his face.
"Sure enough, it's you, Lao Liu." Ouyang Shaogong's eyes flashed, and he spoke through gritted teeth.
"Aren't you surprised at all? Or in your heart, you have long thought that only I, Ouyang Shaoying, am worthy to compete with you?"
This arrogant guy is Ouyang Shaoying, the sixth son of the late emperor. He is very courageous and ambitious. He is brave and resourceful and is not an easy person to deal with.
"I ask myself that I have never had any trouble with you. If you kidnapped me, have you already prepared a coffin?"
Although Ouyang Shaogong was cursing, he didn't use any curse words, and his voice was calm and gentle, as if he was chatting with others.
Although there was anger in his eyes, his expression was still calm.
Ouyang Shaoying was not angry: "No, you should have sent someone to prepare the mausoleum on the day you ascended the throne, so that you would not be in a hurry. After all, you have been sitting on the throne for more than a year."
"If you dare to rebel, you are a traitor and traitor. Everyone will find you and punish you. You will be infamy for thousands of years in the future."
"You are the one who will be infamy for thousands of years, Ouyang Shaogong. You plotted to kill the prince and framed the third emperor brother. As long as the elder brother comes out to testify against you, I want to see what else you have to say."
"You held Brother Chang Huang hostage?"
This is the only possibility. If the prince is willing to do it, then there will be a reason to usurp the throne. He actually wants to take advantage of the elder brother.
"You are wrong. I am a good minister. How could I do such a disobedient thing? I just raised troops to serve the king and help the emperor get what he deserves."
"Brother Chang Huang, does he agree?"
"Of course he agrees. You stole his throne and he hates you with all his heart."
How is it possible, how is it possible? It was the elder brother who wanted to give up the throne to him. Did he regret it?
No, it was Ouyang Shaoying's ambition who forced the eldest brother to submit.
After being silent for a long time, Chu Mengni finally spoke: "We are born from the same roots, so there is no need to rush into each other."
