Xia Yunhe reached out and tried to pull Xie Yi, but was dodged.
The young man raised his head, his amber eyes full of stubbornness.
"Will sir, don't want me?"
"Your Highness." Xia Yunhe has never found Xie Yi to be so difficult to deal with. She would rather Xie Yi was reborn like her, so that communication would be much more convenient, instead of having to coax the children now.
Of course, those people knew that it was a serious crime to kidnap the prince out of the palace. If they found that the prince was missing, they would be even more worried about their whereabouts being exposed.
What will they do?
They will definitely search the entire Xiahe Village.
Until Xie Yi is found, no matter life or death.
The Seventh Prince would not be given the opportunity to speak back to the Emperor and expose them.
Who can a prince with no foundation threaten? Do you have to put him to death like this?
As a sick man like me, who only took two steps to catch his breath, if he bumped into these people, he would definitely not be able to save Xie Yi.
They had to leave this place quickly, rush back to the palace before the palace door was locked, and seek the emperor's blessing. Even if Emperor He Hui disliked the seventh prince, he would not sit idly by and ignore such a challenge to the royal majesty.
As for Xu Xing... Xia Yunhe looked at his residence deep in the alley and sighed in his heart, the days ahead are long.
She cleared her thoughts, knelt down, and patiently enlightened Xie Yi.
"Your Highness, this matter is complicated. Let's go back first and meet with His Majesty."
"Will sir, don't want me?"
Xie Yi clenched her sleeves tightly and looked at her stubbornly, insisting on hearing an answer.
The young man's eyes were as bright as paint, but there was a cautious temptation in them. He didn't move or avoid, lightly shrugged his shoulders, and waited quietly.
Suddenly, he remembered what he saw in the firelight after death. He was that person, and his eyes were those. One was fierce, the other was wronged, but the background was stubborn. He vaguely saw those mountains of corpses and seas of blood again. Xia Yunhe's heart softened and he touched it. Touching Xie Yi's head, he lowered his head and said with a soft smile, "No, Your Highness, I will not abandon you."
With just one sentence, it was like the ice and snow melted and the sun shone brightly, coaxing Xie Yi to let go of his guard.
After he got the answer he wanted, his eyes softened, he grabbed Xia Yunhe's hand, and became obedient and humble again.
Xia Yunhe stood up, feeling dizzy.
The young man stretched out his hand to support her, and his tone was a little anxious, "Mr."
In the past few days, I had spent all my energy and blood writing congratulatory messages. As soon as I got up, I was inevitably dizzy.
Xia Yunhe waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, I'm fine."
As soon as she stood up, the noise on the street came like a tide. Along with the broken pottery, a group of gangsters were wreaking havoc. They were smashing and driving people away, and the chaos was spreading to where she and the Seventh Prince were.
Two people wearing the same ragged leather hats and short brown clothes were walking in the direction of her and the Seventh Prince.
Xia Yunhe lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then put his arms around Xie Yi's shoulders. He felt that the boy was too thin, so he frowned slightly, covered him with his cloak and stood sideways against the wall.
One person sighed, rubbed his eyes and yawned, "Every time I sell my teeth, I feel so sick."
Another person said: "I heard that Yakou was lost and they were looking for it with great fanfare."
The two of them glanced at her and saw her stern expression and dazzling fur clothes. They thought she was a noble young man who came to see a prostitute. He avoided her and walked away.
Xie Yi exposed his head, the tips of his ears were red, he thought he was feeling a little stuffy.
Xia Yunhe touched his forehead, distanced himself from the young man, and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I was rude."
Xie Yi gave a vague hum and lowered his head without looking at her.
Looking around, Xia Yunhe found that the two of them were in a dead end. If they went forward, they would hit the blind stream, and if they retreated, they would retreat to Xu Xing's house.
Xu Xing... It's better to choose a different day than to hit it. She held Xie Yi's hand and was about to go to Xu Xing's yard when someone suddenly grabbed her.
Xia Yunhe was startled, and when he looked back, he saw that it was the woman just now.
At this moment, she washed off the lead, smiled brightly, and whispered, "Where do you want to go, don't risk your life, come with me."
Before Xia Yunhe could react, the woman grabbed her arm and took her to the side. She glanced at the house from a distance and sighed secretly. It was beyond her reach. She stopped thinking and thought about hiding with her sister. .
Xie Yi didn't move, staring at the girl bitterly.
Xia Yunhe gently squeezed his palm and mouthed silently, "Your Highness."
The tips of his ears turned red again, and he hugged Xia Yunhe's arm tightly, warning with his eyes.
The woman rolled her eyes and ignored him.
Passing through the layers of dilapidated houses, turning left three times, we came to a small, desolate courtyard. The woman took out a copper key from the blue brick under the door, pushed the door with her shoulder, held the lock in one hand, and held the key against the keyhole with the other hand. After fumbling for a long time, she pushed the door open with a "click" sound. The door panel shook twice, which was not very good. firm.
The yard is not big, and there is a house for the woman's residence. Except, it's empty, nothing else. The unique east wall is pure white, adjacent to a courtyard, with a high ridge, which is incompatible with the surroundings.
That's... where Xu Xing lives.
Xia Yunhe stared at this wall. The relationship between Xu Xing and Chen Haizhou was complicated. I want to find Xu Xing, but I don't want to be noticed by Chen Haizhou. Perhaps, by climbing over this wall, the mystery in your heart can be revealed.
The woman saw her looking at the wall and thought that Xia Yunhe was thinking about you. As the saying goes, missing you makes you grow old, and she also misses you. Unfortunately, it is just beyond her reach. Not to mention the evil spirit Chen Haizhou standing in front of him.
Instantly feeling a sense of sympathy, he deliberately teased Xia Yunhe, "Do you want to get over it?"
Xia Yunhe was pierced. He turned around, smiled, bowed and asked, "What do you call me sister?"
Xie Yi's expression changed slightly and he raised his head to look at Xia Yunhe.
The woman teased and touched her sleeve, "Ask me, just call me Sanniang."
Xie Yi walked over angrily and pushed the woman away, "Stay away from me, sir."
Xia Yunhe hurriedly grabbed him, frowned slightly, and said softly, "You can't do this."
Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief, took Xia Yunhe's arm, and hummed, "I do it for Jin Yezi's sake, and I feel uneasy about accepting money for no reason. Besides, it's all for your sake - sir, you're just here for me."
"You!" The boy was like a little lion with explosive hair, yelling angrily and going to hit Sanniang.
Xia Yunhe hurriedly broke away from Sanniang's arm and held Xie Yi down.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
The three of them were stunned. Sanniang frowned and was about to open the door when she was grabbed by Xia Yunhe. She winked at Xie Yi and pointed to the partition wall.
Xie Yi understood it in his heart, gathered strength in a few steps, climbed up the wall, and landed in Xu Xingyuan.
I heard a question coming from the other side of the wall, "Who are you? Why..." and then there was no more sound.
Xia Yunhe turned around, and Sanniang was a little stunned, looking at her blankly, "Turn over, flip over."
I also wanted Sanniang to help me climb over the wall, but I heard a "clang" and the door was kicked open.
Several men with fierce faces rushed in and surrounded the two of them.
There were four or five idle people crowding at the door to watch the excitement, including short actors and shirtless men seen in the market.
The crowd embraced a strong man with a sinewy face, followed by a man wearing a scarf with thin eyebrows and a white face.
Xia Yunhe took a closer look and saw that it was the chamberlain he had bumped into that day in Anxiang Palace. He was wearing the latest sapphire blue silk trimmed with gold-trimmed round-neck cotton robe, with his nostrils pointing upward. He almost screamed out in surprise when he saw Xia Yunhe.
The strong man waved his hand, "Search!"
Several thugs rolled up their sleeves and raised the few clay pots in Sanniangyuan, preparing for a big fight.
Xia Yunhe frowned and shouted sternly, "Stop!" He looked at the white-faced chamberlain who was hiding behind the villain, "That father-in-law, what are you doing?"
Everyone was shocked, holding bottles and jars, and stayed in place.
Sanniang was also a little stunned, and kept stealing glances at Xia Yunhe with her eyes.
The white-faced chamberlain's eyes rolled around, he held his hands, hunched over his waist, and trotted up to Xia Yunhe, "Master Xia."
Sanniang opened her mouth wide, looked at Xia Yunhe, looked at everyone, and then glanced at the groveling servants, covered her mouth tightly, and silently stepped aside.
"Yes." Xia Yunhe raised his eyelids and glanced at the chamberlain, his voice calm, "I'm fine, father-in-law."
The man nodded repeatedly, but his eyes drifted towards Sanniang's room, and he said with a smile, "Since Mr. Xia is here, I won't disturb you."
Xia Yunhe stopped him, nodded and smiled, "If father-in-law is interested in that house, you might as well go and have a look."
The servant even said he didn't dare, but quickly pushed open Sanniang's room and looked inside carefully.
…
Watching everyone go out, they arrive in a rush and leave in a hurry.
I also heard vague conversations outside.
"I've searched everywhere, but I can't find it. What should I do?"
"Have you searched all over?"
"Well, Xu Xing is the only one left."
"It must be there, go."
"But that person is here."
That person naturally refers to Chen Haizhou.
"Are you afraid? He left today, can he come back?"
There was a rustle outside for a while, and then there was no sound again.
Sanniang patted her chest and walked up to her. She looked her up and down, then took her arm, with envy in her eyes, "Are you a palace official?" She turned her head and pointed to the wall, "Then , the one just now..."
He frowned and thought carefully, "He called you sir? You are not a female official." Then, he fell into confusion again.
Seeing that she was still deep in thought, Xia Yunhe thought to himself, fearing that his identity as a woman would be exposed if the news spread today, he took Sanniang's hand and told her in detail, "Sister, I also have difficulties, for Jin Ye's sake, You must keep my identity secret."
Sanniang giggled and pinched Xia Yunhe's cheek, "What's so difficult about this? A handsome guy like you can look good even if he's a boy or a girl."
"But," she rolled her eyes, "but Sir, I am greedy. These few gold leaves are not enough."
Xia Yunhe pushed her hand away and looked at her with a smile, "It's not difficult."
Suddenly, curses came from Xu Xing's yard.
"What are you doing?!"
I heard the strong man just now say in an evil voice: "Look for someone!"
Why are they moving so fast?
Xia Yunhe was heartbroken and wanted to climb to the top of the wall to see how the Seventh Prince was doing, but she couldn't get up and was so anxious that she was wandering under the wall.
Sanniang's heart moved and she moved the wooden ladder.
She was overjoyed and was about to go up the stairs when she suddenly heard Chen Haizhou's gloomy voice coming from the other side of the wall, "How do you want to die?"
This guy actually came back again and again.
Sanniang hurriedly pulled Xia Yunhe off the ladder again, and the two moved to the side, leaning against the wall to listen.
A high-pitched voice trembled with fear, "Mr. Chen, please forgive me, there is a misunderstanding!"
"puff!"
Xia Yunhe trembled. The knife made such a sound when it was inserted into the flesh.
Then there was a shrill scream, a chorus of gasps, and then a high-pitched scream that made people's eardrums hurt. It rumbled for a while, and then fell silent.
Xia Yunhe touched his ears and heard Xu Xing's trembling voice again, "You, you..."
"Plop", a heavy object fell to the ground.
Chen Haizhou shouted in panic, "Zi Huai!"
…
The surroundings were silent except for the cackling of crows on the branches.
Xia Yunhe breathed a sigh of relief, relieved himself, raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead, swallowed, and rubbed his eyes. Fortunately, Chen Haizhou appeared and hid Xie Yi in time.
Then she heard the wooden door clang open, the sound of footsteps ten times, and Xie Yi's understatement reached her ears from the other side of the wall.
"Master Chen."
Xia Yunhe's heart tightened.
