Xiao Chengyi rode hard day and night, and after walking for five days and five nights, he finally arrived at Shengjing City. As soon as he entered the city, he saw Xiao Jue in front of the city gate.
He turned over and dismounted, but because he was exhausted from traveling all night, he almost fell down.
Xiao Jue saw him stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing. He rushed over to help him and asked in surprise, "You are back? Did the high priest let you go?"
Xiao Chengyi had no time to explain to him, so she asked in a hoarse voice: "Where is Yan Yan? Did something happen to her?"
Xiao Jue saw the tired look on his face and knew that he had rushed back overnight. He frowned and asked, "How did you know?"
Xiao Chengyi's expression changed after hearing this. He held Xiao Jue's arm fiercely and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
Xiao Jue hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Miss Mu is not in danger. She just heard that you were arrested by the high priest and rushed back in a hurry. She fell off her horse and hurt her head on the road.
She is awake now, but she can't remember people and things clearly. Mrs. Xin has checked her pulse and everything else is normal. She may just rest for a few days and be fine."
"Yan Yan."
Xiao Chengyi's mind was empty and his heart was full of worries. He turned around and left in a hurry, passing by the carriage beside him.
Suddenly, a slight voice came from the carriage, which seemed to be a woman's murmur. It sounded familiar, but after listening carefully, there was no sound.
Xiao Chengyi stopped and saw Xiao Jue's people in front of the carriage. It seemed that they were escorting the people in the carriage to leave Beijing.
He turned around and asked Xiao Jue full of suspicion: "Who is in the car?"
Xiao Jue said: "It's the third princess of Southern Xinjiang. We received a message from Mo Ying, saying that you were captured by the high priest. Not long after, the high priest sent a letter saying that he wanted to redeem you.
When you come back, you will help him find the missing third princess.
Later, our people found the third princess in Mozhou City, but she didn't know what happened and was unconscious all the time. Fortunately, her life was not in danger.
We didn’t dare to delay after finding the third princess. No, I was planning to personally escort her back to southern Xinjiang to exchange for you? Who would have thought that you would actually come back, then should we send back these three princesses?”
That day he learned the news of Xiao Chengyi's arrest, and discussed countermeasures with Shen Chi. Shen Chi said that the high priest would definitely send them a letter, and sure enough, the high priest really sent someone to deliver the letter.
He only had one request in the letter, which was to help him find the missing third princess. The letter also included the appearance and characteristics of the third princess.
They thought that the third princess would be difficult to find in the vast crowds of people in Nanyue, but within a few days they found the whereabouts of the third princess, and everything went smoothly.
When Xiao Chengyi heard that it was the third princess, he reached out and opened the curtain.
I saw a girl in red lying inside, with a veil covering her face and a flower of the other side painted on her forehead.
It was indeed the third princess he had met before.
The high priest imprisoned him, preventing him from rushing back early, and also caused Yan Yan to fall off his horse. Originally, he should have avenged this revenge.
But when he saw the flower mark on the third princess's forehead, he felt a little soft-hearted.
They are all poor people.
Xiao Chengyi sighed, lowered the curtain and said to Xiao Jue: "Send someone to take her back."
After leaving these words, he turned and walked away, but the third princess's unclear voice came from the carriage behind him: "Brother Yi!"
...
Shen Mansion.
Shen Wanyue was lying on the bed with thick gauze wrapped around her forehead. She had been in Shengjing City for three days. Fortunately, her plan was successful.
Everyone thought she had hurt her head and had unclear memory and could not recognize people, but in fact this was all her plan.
She knew that Mu Yunan was pretending to have amnesia, but the only person she pretended to forget was Xiao Chengyi, but what she wanted to forget was all of them.
