Yun Shang was stunned, then sat up suddenly: "There are not so many people guarding the government prison, and there are many secret guards watching, how could you escape? Did you send someone to chase him?"
Qianzuo said quickly: "The cell where the Seventh Prince was imprisoned was made of stone, and the stone room was very small. Secret guards were patrolling outside, and layers of guards were deployed near the sky prison. However, I never expected that,
Someone actually dug into the ground and rescued the Seventh Prince. Fortunately, the secret guards would go to the cell every half an hour to check on the situation. It took less than half an hour for the Seventh Prince to escape, and the secret guards had been sent to chase him.
.”
Yun Shang frowned. She had some understanding of the Seventh Prince's temperament. Without complete preparations, she would not have taken such a risk. Since he had already escaped, the possibility of catching him again was very slim.
But now that the order to mobilize the troops has fallen into Luo Qingyan's hands, where can the Seventh Prince escape after escaping from the prison? What is his intention?
Yun Shang secretly wondered, if she were the seventh prince, where would she go?
Yun Shang thought for a long time, then threw the brocade handkerchief to the side irritably, with some unspeakable frustration. If she were the seventh prince, she would definitely not escape from prison at this time. Now the news about Queen Hua has just spread
Go, there are many people in the Su family who want Queen Hua's life. To the seventh prince, both the Su family and Luo Qingyan are his enemies.
If it were her, she would definitely sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Su and Luo Qingyan would both suffer losses, so that would be the best. Since she would sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, the prison in Lingxi City is a rare and good place. There are so many
Being guarded by secret guards makes it safe and controlled by others, and can also lower others' vigilance.
If she were the Seventh Prince, she would not try to escape from the prison at all.
Yun Shang raised her eyes to look at Qian Zui and said softly: "Where do you think the seventh prince will go after he escapes?"
Qian Zui was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded: "The princess often said that the most dangerous place is the safest. The servant thought that once the seventh prince escaped, he must have hidden himself among ordinary people. Lingxi City said
Big or small, there are still more than 100,000 ordinary people there, and it’s hard to find them even in a moment.”
The most dangerous place is the safest? Yun Shang smiled slightly, with a hint of indifference flashing in his eyes: "I probably know."
Yun Shang said, then turned around and looked at Qian Zui: "Send someone to send a message to Mr. Zhang to seal the city gate and prohibit anyone from entering or exiting."
"City gate?" Qianzui was stunned for a moment, but didn't ask. He quickly answered and walked out of the house quickly.
The most dangerous place is the safest. After the seventh prince leaves the prison, he will definitely know that she has arrived in Lingxi, and he will guess her thoughts just like she guessed him. He will definitely think that she will focus on the city.
, therefore, his choice is probably to leave the city as soon as possible.
After Qian Zhui left, Yun Shang had no intention of continuing to sleep, so she stood up and walked out of the house. Mrs. Zhao stood at the door, looking steadily at the door, and saw Yun Shang walking out.
Then he turned his head and looked at Yun Shang, with a bit of questioning in his eyes: "But what happened?"
Yun Shang gently nodded and said, "The seventh prince has escaped."
Mrs. Zhao was stunned for a moment, then said softly: "So many people were watching, but he was allowed to run away."
Yun Shang didn't say anything more, only sneered and said: "If you can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple, so what are you afraid of?"
After about half an hour, Qianqiu had not returned yet, but Yun Shang saw Mrs. Zhang walking over in a hurry, her face a little pale. Yun Shang was a little confused: "What's wrong with Mrs. Zhang?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang quickly whispered: "Princess, I heard from the master before, is there any important prisoner who escaped from the prison? I suspect that he sneaked into our city guard's mansion. The master brought people
I went to seal the city gate, but I ran out of ideas for a while, so I had to come and report to the princess."
Yun Shang and Mrs. Zhao looked at each other, with a flash of doubt in their eyes, and then Yun Shang smiled and said: "It is true that a prisoner escaped from prison, but how did the madam know that he sneaked into the city guard's house?
Woolen cloth?"
Mrs. Zhang's eyes were a little panicked, she bit her lip and said softly: "There are several carriage drivers in our house, and the one who has been following me is a man named Aqi. I went out of the house to visit Mrs. Li's house in the east of the city.
I have always been good friends with Mrs. Li, and I go to the Li Mansion almost every few days. Every time I come back from the Li Mansion, I have to go to Xingsheng Street in the east of the city to buy some peach blossom notes for the master. When I go there today
Everything went as usual, I talked to Archie for a few words when I got off the car, but when I came back, Archie was a little strange."
"Oh?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, "What's the strange method?"
Mrs. Zhang's face was a little pale, as if she had just survived a catastrophe. After hearing Yun Shang's question, she quickly said: "I always go to Xingsheng Street, but today Archie did not go to Xingsheng Street. After I found out, I thought
Archi forgot, so he gave a few more instructions, asking him to turn around and go to Xingsheng Street to buy peach blossom paper. Archi turned around, but after a while, Archi said he wanted to go for convenience and left for a while.
I got out of the car and walked around the area."
"After walking a few steps, I saw Archie asking something at a corner. I walked over and heard Archie asking where there was a peach blossom paper seller on Xingsheng Street. And his voice was a little low, unlike usual.
Something is different." Mrs. Zhang said with a frown.
"I was a little suspicious at the time, so I quickly returned to the carriage. This time I arrived at the shop selling peach blossom paper smoothly. After I bought the peach blossom paper, I returned to the mansion and got off the carriage first. I deliberately let the maid next to me lag behind.
After a few steps, the maid said that she saw Archie complaining that he had a stomachache. She handed the carriage to the doorman and asked him to help unload the carriage and lead the horse to the stables." Mrs. Zhang said softly, "But
My maid discovered that Archie did not go to the toilet, but followed the doorman, quietly watching as the doorman unloaded the carriage and took the horse back to the stable boy."
A light flashed in Yun Shang's eyes, and she squinted and smiled: "Then Archi is lying, he doesn't know where the stable boy is at all, and he is afraid that he will reveal his secret, so he has to use this method to test.
"
Mrs. Zhang nodded repeatedly, "I felt the same way. When I thought about what the master said before, a prisoner escaped from the prison, I thought, could this be the prisoner?"
Yun Shang nodded lightly and said with a smile: "It's very possible."
"Then I will send someone to inform the master and ask him to send someone to arrest him." Mrs. Zhang said quickly.
Yun Shang smiled and said: "There is no need to trouble Mr. Zhang, just send my secret guard. Madam only needs to send someone to tell the groom, saying that you have made dinner and go to the city gate to give it to Mr. Zhang, so that
The groom is ready. The rest can be left to the secret guards."
Mrs. Zhang responded quickly, and Yun Shang ordered Wang Jinhuan to come and followed Mrs. Zhang.
After Mrs. Zhang and Wang Jinhuan left the yard together, the smile on Yun Shang's lips became a little colder. Mrs. Zhao slowly raised her lips and smiled: "How can the Seventh Prince be so stupid? He can be like this even if he pretends to be a carriage driver.
Full of loopholes?”
"Of course it's impossible." Yun Shang responded with a smile, turned around and looked at Mrs. Zhao and said: "The weather is quite good today, neither hot nor cold, and there is still a slight breeze. Why don't we accompany my wife to guard the city?"
Let’s take a walk in the mansion.”
Mrs. Zhao agreed, and the two of them slowly walked out of the courtyard together. Lingxi City was originally a border gate, and the city guard's mansion was not big. There were only five or six courtyards in total. There was only a nine-curved corridor in the courtyard, with two sides.
Most of the plants planted are ordinary flowers, plants and trees, not much to see.
Yun Shang and Mrs. Zhao walked slowly, and halfway through, they sat down on a stool by the corridor. Yun Shang looked at the servants who were pruning flowers and plants in the distance, and then said softly: "These days,
The city is not peaceful. I have calculated the time. I am afraid that in two or three days, the killer sent by the Su family will arrive in Lingxi City. Wang Jinhuan is better at Qinggong. I will let him protect you. Even then
Even if you can't beat him, you can outrun him. At least you can save one life."
Mrs. Zhao frowned slightly, but did not refute. She only nodded lightly and replied: "I understand."
The two sat for a while, then stood up and continued walking around the corridor, and then slowly returned to the courtyard. Not long after they returned to the courtyard, Wang Jinhuan came back: "The carriage driver is really the Seventh Prince."
, I have asked the secret guards to capture him, and now he has been sent back to the prison, but he has been detained in a different place, in the water cell of the prison. I would like to see how he can escape.
.”
Yun Shang and Mrs. Zhao looked at each other, and then Yun Shang frowned, with a bit of doubt in his eyes: "Why is he doing such a unnecessary thing?"
Wang Jinhuan shrugged, and without waiting for Yun Shang's instructions, he walked to the chair and sat down on his own initiative. He took the lychees on the table and ate them, "Whatever, the people on the left and right have been captured."
Yun Shang nodded slightly, glanced at Wang Jinhuan, and then said: "These days, you should stay with Mrs. Zhao. You must protect her safety. If anything happens, I will be the only one to ask questions."
,how?"
Wang Jinhuan was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Zhao who was sitting quietly next to Yun Shang. Seeing that Mrs. Zhao didn't speak, she grinned and replied: "Okay, Princess, just don't worry."
Yes, even if my own life is at risk, I will definitely protect Mrs. Zhao’s life.”
Yun Shang nodded lightly and took a sip of tea. "Since the Seventh Prince has been captured and imprisoned in prison, it seems a little unreasonable for me not to put it in order in Lingxi City."
Yun Shang said, then turned around and looked at Qin Yi and said: "Go and see if Qianzui is back. If she is back, let her accompany me to the prison." (To be continued)
