Chapter 47: 46th
The car curtain was lifted, his eyes looked inward, his hand was rigidly frozen in mid-air, and the icy coldness that was usually unshakable suddenly cracked, astonishment, inconceivable astonishment. He has grown so much, he has never been so shocked.
There was no one in the sedan chair.
Big red wedding dresses were scattered messily in the limited space. What caught the eye was a dazzling red. The entire sedan chair was filled with exaggerated festivities, but the bride was alone.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and the hand that lifted the car curtain quickly picked up the red wedding dress. Following his rapid ups and downs, a ball of fiery redness fell in front of everyone.
All the people took a deep breath, only seeing the wedding dress, but no one, what is the situation?
The people standing in the front could vaguely see what was going on, and they were all stunned, while those standing on the side and behind, although they couldn't see it, had already guessed what was going on.
I just guessed it, but I was even more astonished. The bride disappeared. On the day of King Yi's wedding, the bride disappeared...
Qingzhu's body froze suddenly, how, how is this possible? She asked the master just before crossing the bridge, and the master answered her at that time. At that time, the master was still in the sedan chair.
Why is it gone now?
It's just crossing a bridge, how is it possible?
bridge? There was a slight flash in her mind, could it be on that bridge, but there is no hiding place on that bridge? No matter how powerful the master is, is it possible?
Qingzhu has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she has been waiting by the Queen Mother's side for so many years. She thinks she is calm enough, but at this moment, her body is trembling uncontrollably. She originally wanted to go forward to confirm, but There was only one step away, but he couldn't move.
Slightly raised her eyes, she was completely stunned when she met the blood-stained and cold face of His Highness the Seventh Highness, His Highness's expression was really terrifying.
Although I know that His Highness the Seventh Highness has always been a cold person, he is not so scary.
If the master is captured by His Highness at this moment, I'm afraid...
Now her whole heart is on Meng Fuying's mind, because she knows that with the character of His Highness the Seventh, he will not take his anger out on other people. His Highness is not a prince, and he has always been clear about everything.
Master probably already saw this point of His Highness the Seventh Prince, so he dared to do such a thing.
Sufeng's expression also changed instantly, His Highness specially ordered him to meet the bride, and the result turned out to be...
Looking at Xuanyuan Ye's icy side, Su Feng couldn't help trembling slightly.
Xuanyuanye stared fixedly at the sedan chair, and took away the wedding dress, only to see a piece of paper pressed under a stone. There was a big hole cut in the bottom of the sedan chair, and she apparently escaped through that hole.
Taking a deep breath, his hand stretched out towards the piece of paper. It was just an ordinary piece of paper, but at this moment, he felt that his hand was a little heavy.
The paper is flat, and you can clearly see the words on it just by holding it in front of you.
Seeing those simple lines, Xuanyuan Ye's extremely icy eyes flickered slightly.
"Life is precious, but love is more expensive. If it is for freedom, both can be thrown away."
There are only four sentences, simple and clear.
In her understanding, perfect love should be pure and simple love, pure love for love, no matter whether it is rich or poor.
In order to pursue her love, for her freedom, she would rather give up her life.
So, she will not marry in such a vague way, she is going to pursue the happiness that truly belongs to her.
She believed that someone as smart as Xuanyuan Ye would be able to understand it, and if he could just let go, that would be the best.
A few simple words, but her decisiveness was vividly expressed.
Something flashed quickly in Xuanyuan Ye's slightly narrowed eyes, but under the chill, a wave of anger slowly rose. She escaped from marriage on the day of her wedding, and she still expected to use these few words to Let him go?
If that's the case, he is not Xuanyuan Ye. In Xuanyuan Ye's life, there is no word of letting go.
However, he still underestimated her, obviously there was a green bamboo on the side of the sedan chair, and he also ordered Sufeng to watch, but he still let her run away.
Okay, very good, if she wants to play, then he will accompany her to the end.
His eyes turned to the stone in the sedan chair again, a stone weighing about forty kilograms. This woman is really smart, knowing that an empty sedan chair would attract suspicion, so she replaced it with a stone.
It's just, when did she put this stone on the sedan chair?
His narrowed eyes suddenly flashed, this stone?
The eyes quickly looked at the bridge not far away. The stones were obviously piled on both sides of the bridge. The corners of her eyebrows suddenly raised, so she just escaped on the bridge.
It is indeed very clever.
Even if the sedan chair bearer felt that the sedan chair was lighter at that time, it was still heavy after all, and it had already arrived at King Yi's mansion, so no one would think about it, let alone getting off the bridge, the strength of the moment was a little uncertain Yes, she is perfectly calculated.
"Order to go down, completely outflank the bridge from the south, and search one by one..." There was a slight pause in the words, and suddenly there was a faint smell of medicine coming from the sedan chair, although the smell of medicine was very weak, and it was also overwhelmed by an overly strong smell. The scent of flowers was covered up, but he still smelled it.
His eyes sank slightly, and he changed his words in a cold voice, "Don't let anyone go."
The potion should be easy to use, but this woman is really powerful.
However, if she escaped from the bridge, she could only escape on this side of the bridge, because when the sedan chair is going downhill, there will be a certain inclination, and the space under the front of the sedan chair will be larger, which is the most convenient for her to escape. It really gave her an excellent opportunity, and only from the front can she completely avoid Qingzhu.
So, he guessed, she should not have left yet.
Hayakaze who was standing beside him was stunned for a moment, then responded in a low voice, and then ordered people to surround him. The people who were watching were a little flustered, but no one moved.
It is true that Meng Fuying has not left yet, and is still hidden in the crowd, but at this moment, she has changed her appearance, wearing an ordinary men's clothing, and the dark things on her face have been removed. The black things are her most obvious sign, so they must be removed.
The phoenix crown and headgear on the head are all removed, and only the hair bundle of a man in an ordinary family is combed.
Although her height is considered tall among women, it is difficult to be found among those men with that attire and that kind of dress.
From a distance, through the crowd, I saw a large number of guards quickly surrounding the south side of the bridge, and also surrounded all the people between the river and King Yi's Mansion, because one end of the river passed through King Yi's Mansion. , and the other side was naturally full of guards.
So at this moment, no one wants to leave.
Meng Fuying's lips twitched into a slight smile. As expected of Xuanyuan Ye, the reaction was really fast enough, and she guessed so quickly that she escaped from the bridge.
However, she didn't expect to leave so soon, because the most dangerous place is often the safest place, so, in her opinion, the current King Yi's Mansion is the safest.
A few nights ago, after Qingzhu fell asleep, she sneaked out and observed the situation of King Yi's mansion. She did not expect that the mansion of King Yi was really like what Xuanyuan Ye said, the big mansion of King Yi. , and not too many people, there are many yards are empty.
However, this is a good thing for her. She has already chosen a room, a room that is not too hidden, but inconspicuous. She believes that Xuanyuan Ye will not think that she will hide in his palace for a while.
By the time he thought about it, she should have left.
When it was dark, she tried to get out of the city. As long as she was out of the capital, the world was so big that it would not be so easy for Xuanyuan Ye to catch her again.
With such a decision in her heart, the smile on her lips slowly unfolded again. Seeing those guards surrounded the Yi Wang Mansion almost impenetrably, Meng Fuying didn't feel nervous at all, but showed no sign of it. Approaching in the direction of King Yi's Mansion.
"Su Feng, take this king's token and mobilize the Imperial Forest Army, place a soldier every five steps, and surround the entire outside of the capital." Xuanyuan Ye's narrowed eyes revealed a dangerous cold light, and he was cold again word by word. ordered.
After a slight pause, a sneer slowly appeared on the corners of his lips, and he said coldly again, "Seal the city gates, and no one is allowed to leave the city."
He wants to see where that woman can fly. And his words at this moment also slightly increased a little, I don't know if he said it on purpose for Meng Fuying to listen to.
Meng Fuying, who was hiding in the crowd, froze suddenly, and the corners of her lips twitched violently a few times, mobilizing the Yulin Pingjun to surround the entire capital! Lock the city gates and prevent anyone from leaving?
Can he be more ruthless! It seems that Xuanyuanye will not give up until he catches her.
Hmph, but she has always been that stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat, so this battle should be regarded as just beginning.
Who wins and who loses...
Then wait and see.
"Your Highness." Su Feng was startled when he heard Xuanyuan Ye's order, and mobilized the Imperial Forest Army? At this moment, he really wondered if he had heard it wrong. The Imperial Forest Army was used to protect the emperor. Although it was said that His Highness was in charge and could be transferred by His Highness, it would be too...
Moreover, His Highness also ordered the city gates to be sealed and no one is allowed to go out. I am afraid that this will not work.
"What? Didn't you hear my king's order clearly?" Xuanyuanye's eyes turned slightly to Sufeng. At the moment, there was still a bit of anger hidden in the coldness, and there was an even more irritating voice in that voice. Shocking chill.
Sufeng has been by his side for many years, thinking that he has long been used to the coldness of the prince, but at this moment his body is still trembling involuntarily.
The emperor, concubine Rou, the crown prince and several princes who were waiting in Yi Wang's mansion rushed out after hearing the news.
When the emperor came out, he just heard Xuanyuan Ye's words, and his eyes sank involuntarily, but he didn't say anything. When he walked closer, he said to Su Feng, "Go."
At this moment, the emperor's voice did not contain much emotion, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking at the moment.
Seeing that the emperor also agreed, Su Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then left quickly to mobilize the army.
The eyes of the prince who was following the emperor suddenly sank, and a bit of ruthlessness quickly disappeared in the depths of the eyes. The dead old man's partiality is too obvious. How can he be a dead person?
He can condone this kind of thing, but back then, he only made a small mistake, so he drove him out of the capital.
"Oh, it's really interesting that the seventh brother is married, and, for a woman, this action is too big." The prince's sharp eyes stared at Xuanyuan Ye tightly, and said with a half-smile, However, in that voice, there was a little exploration hidden.
"Is it big?" Xuanyuan Ye's eyes also slowly turned to him, and the coldness in the eyes shot at him undisguisedly, "If it were the prince today, I'm afraid the ground would be covered with blood at this moment. Compared with the prince's style, it's nothing compared to the prince's style, so it's not worth mentioning."
How could Xuanyuan Ye not understand the prince's thoughts, he came to attend the wedding today, and he didn't have any good intentions.
The prince's eyes narrowed slightly, but he was not annoyed. Instead, a slight smile spread across his lips, "That's true. If this happened to Bengong, I will wash away this shame with blood."
He made no secret of his cruelty. As early as when the emperor ordered him to be exiled outside Beijing, he had nothing to hide. What he had to do was to make himself stronger and make everyone stronger. Everyone is afraid of him, afraid of him, and tramples everyone under their feet.
In eight years, he has gradually developed that ability, so he doesn't have to flatter the emperor as before, begging the emperor to pass on the throne to him.
He will rely on his own ability to sit on the throne, and when the time comes, he will let everyone beg him. Including that dead old man and Xuanyuan Ye.
Hearing the prince's words, the emperor's eyes flickered coldly. The prince has become more and more brutal in recent years. If one day he is allowed to ascend the throne, the people of the Xuanyuan Dynasty will be miserable.
So, he is indeed partial, not only for himself, but also for the people of the Xuanyuan Dynasty. He knows that only when Ye'er becomes the emperor, the Xuanyuan Dynasty will become truly powerful.
If it is a prince, it will only destroy the Xuanyuan Dynasty.
Meng Fuying was still hiding in the crowd at this moment, so she could clearly hear the conversation between the prince and Xuanyuan Ye, her eyes flickered slightly, yes, this is the difference between Xuanyuan Ye and the prince, he would never kill innocent people indiscriminately, and She will never blame others for her mistakes.
She had to admit that she made up her mind to escape marriage because she saw this point in Xuanyuan Ye.
Now, no matter how angry he was, he ordered a blockade, but he didn't punish anyone, including Qing Zhu who had been by her side all along.
Regarding this point, Meng Fuying really appreciates his style.
She knew that even if she couldn't escape in the end and was captured by Xuanyuan Ye, then only herself would be unlucky, and no one else would be affected.
Even if the emperor wants to vent his anger, she has nothing to worry about.
After all, Daddy is the Marquis of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, and the Emperor regards Daddy very highly, so it is impossible for him to do anything to Daddy, not to mention that Daddy is in the frontier now.
It is absolutely impossible for the emperor to bring his father back because of this incident.
So if the emperor really wants to vent his anger, then the first ones to be unlucky should be the eldest lady and Meng Ruxue.
However, she really didn't expect that Xuanyuan Ye would make such a big move, which was indeed big enough for her. Almost all her back roads were blocked.
It seems that it is impossible for her to leave the city in a short time.
And this King Yi's mansion, I don't know how long she can hide, after all, Xuanyuan Ye can definitely think of what she can think of, and he will doubt it when he can't find her.
However, now she can't control that much anymore. Seeing the guards surrounding the crowd, Meng Fuying let out a deep breath, and then moved to the position she had found before without a trace.
Because there is a river passing through here, there are no guards here. After all, Xuanyuan Ye did not expect such a sudden incident, so there is not enough manpower.
Moreover, the purpose of the guards was to prevent her from leaving, and they never thought that she would enter King Yi's mansion.
Everyone's attention was in front of the main entrance of King Yi's Mansion, so no one noticed this side. Meng Fuying took out the things hidden in the corner earlier, and quickly entered King Yi's Mansion.
Then he threw the tool in his hand into the water without hesitation. The river water was not too urgent, so some heavy things slowly sank to the bottom of the water. However, the river water was a bit deep, and it couldn't be seen from above.
Outside the palace, people were on their backs, but inside the palace was strangely quiet, because at this moment all the guests heard the news of the bride's disappearance, and all ran outside the palace, and all the guards were also mobilized.
Even those girls quietly ran out to watch the excitement.
So, at this moment, King Yi's mansion is almost empty, and there is no one in sight, not to mention that Meng Fuying is currently in the backyard.
Meng Fuying's eyes flickered, and she smiled secretly in her heart. At this moment, there were not many people in the entire palace, so she didn't have to worry about being seen.
Crossing a crooked path, Meng Fuying came to the room she had found a long time ago, then gently opened the window, and jumped in.
Naturally, she would not move the door stupidly, because this room has not been lived in for a long time, and there are many spiders in front of the door. Once moved, it is easy to spot.
There is food under the bed in the room that she prepared when she came last time, but it is only for one day, because she did not expect that Xuanyuan Ye would completely blockade the capital.
Although the most dangerous place is also the safest place, its dangerous factor cannot be ignored. If Xuanyuan Ye is startled by time, then she will be caught in a urn.
The room was full of dust and spiders, but Meng Fuying didn't dare to move or touch it, and could only bend slightly, avoiding the spiders one by one, and walked inside.
The furnishings in the room are also extremely simple. There are only two chairs, a table, and a bed. It is not difficult to see that this should be the room where the girls used to live.
It is likely that there are fewer maids in King Yi's mansion now, so no one lives there.
Meng Fuying walked to the bed, which was also covered with a layer of dust, so she didn't sit down, but stood near the corner of the wall. Although it was unlikely that anyone would come here, she had better be careful, especially It was when he thought of Xuanyuan Ye's cold face just now, and the ruthlessness that he would never give up if he could not catch her.
She knew that at this moment, she couldn't be careless, because her opponent was too dangerous.
Meng Fuying frowned slightly, thinking about what she should do next?
At this moment outside King Yi's mansion, Xuanyuanye actually stood on the bridge in person, and those common people could only leave after passing his personal inspection.
The emperor and concubine Rou did not leave, and the ministers also stood behind the emperor.
It's just that the empress didn't come because she was thrown into the cold palace because of drugging Meng Fuying earlier.
And the queen mother did not come.
Concubine Rou's complexion was a bit ugly, there was obvious anger hidden in a pair of beautiful eyes, and her body seemed to be slightly stiff because of that anger, but when her eyes swept over the prince and Xuanyuan Ye, it seemed Something flashed by quickly.
At this moment, no one spoke any more. After all, such a thing, at this moment and such an occasion, is not suitable to say anything.
Everyone looked at Xuanyuan Ye who was standing on the bridge.
The surrounded people walked carefully in front of him one by one. No one dared to look at him. Even if they didn't look at him, they couldn't help trembling slightly when they passed by Xuanyuanye's side, a little timid. The little one even knelt on the ground in fright.
Xuanyuan Ye's eyes were fixed on the people passing by one by one, seeing that the number of people being surrounded was getting smaller and smaller, and his face was getting darker and colder.
When the last commoner walked across the bridge, Xuanyuan Ye's hand hidden under his sleeve tightened fiercely, and his eyes swept over the ministers around the emperor one by one. They were all familiar faces, nothing unusual, let alone Well, there are not many ministers here today, and only those with high prestige in the court are qualified to come here.
It seemed that she was still allowed to escape, Xuanyuan Ye narrowed his eyes again.
From crossing the bridge to King Yi's Mansion, there are only a few steps away. Where can she escape in such a short time?
Unless she gets out of the sedan chair and crosses the bridge to leave, but if she leaves at that time, it will definitely be a bit abrupt, because all the people are crowded to look forward, if she walks out at that time, it will definitely attract attention. people pay attention.
At that time, Qingzhu followed closely in front of the sedan chair, and Sufeng had been paying attention to this side, not to mention, he was also looking here at that time, so it was impossible for her to leave at that time.
He decided that she must be among the crowd, but he couldn't find her.
His eyes flickered slightly, the corners of his lips pulled slightly, and suddenly shouted to the guards beside him, "Search the palace."
With her shrewdness, it is very likely that she will take such a risky move.
"Search the palace? Seventh brother, it's impossible for her to be so stupid as to hide in the palace. Besides, we've been standing here all this time, so there's no way she would have the chance to enter the palace." Xuanyuan Mo finally couldn't help it, and said .
The guards were also a little stunned. Hearing Xuanyuan Mo's words, they all hesitated and didn't act immediately.
"Search." Xuanyuanye's lips moved slightly, the simple words could not be simple, but with an irresistible majesty, the guards didn't dare to stay for a moment, and rushed into the palace.
Xuanyuanye also quickly walked into the palace, followed by the emperor, concubine Rou and others.
It's just that those ministers naturally didn't dare to stay any longer. After all, this is not a glorious thing. If they continue to stay here, it might bring disaster to Chi Yu, so they all asked for instructions to leave.
The emperor frowned slightly, and waved his hands a little irritably, signaling that they could all leave. Those ministers got the order and fled away one after another.
Only the crown prince and a few princes followed the emperor and Concubine Rou into Yi Wang's mansion again.
"Search for this king, you can't miss any place." Xuanyuan Ye glanced slightly, and then ordered in a cold voice.
Although there were not many people in King Yi's mansion, it was outrageously large. It would not take a while to find it.
The guards dispersed after hearing Xuanyuanye's order, and hurriedly searched for it.
"It's ridiculous that she dared to run away from marriage." Now that there were no outsiders, Concubine Rou said angrily, her usually soft voice was a little extreme because of the anger.
It's normal to be angry at your son's shame. So at this moment, what she said and what she did was not too much. What's more, she usually has that kind of extremely simple temperament, and she won't hide her emotions.
"Okay, just calm down and calm down, this matter is over." The emperor slightly sighed, but slightly concealed the gloom on his face, and gently comforted Concubine Rou, but his eyes were deep. However, there was a bit of a strangeness.
