Lu Qingtang's hair was messy, and the bumps along the way made her feel tired, but in order to prevent Mo Ze from worrying, she still held on to her fatigue and smiled at him.
Seeing this, Mo Zeshen quickly stepped forward, took her off the horse, and held her tightly in his arms to soothe his anxious heart.
He patted Lu Qingtang's back gently, "It's okay, it's okay. You scared me to death. I thought you... were okay. Just come back."
Lu Qingtang lay in his arms, listening to his beating heart, with a smile on his lips.
She really shouldn't have taken this risk, which made Mo Ze deeply worried about herself, but if she hadn't done so, I'm afraid Ji Wuhen wouldn't have fallen into their trap so easily.
She looked up at him, her cheeks flushed, "Can you let me go? I'm embarrassed that so many people are watching."
Mo Ze let go of Lu Qingtang deeply, with a shy smile on his face.
Lu Qingtang raised an eyebrow at him in response, and then looked at Ji Wuhen who was full of doubts.
She put her hands on her hands and stepped forward, saying seriously: "I went to Zhennan Palace to visit the prince, but I didn't expect that the prince was not here. I didn't expect that I came to Kaishan Temple. What a coincidence."
Ji Wuhen looked at her coldly, "Why did you run out, where is Zhan'er?"
Lu Qingtang was shocked, "If you didn't mention it, I almost forgot. I invited my brother as a guest, just to keep the prince company."
After saying that, she shouted outside: "Bring Ji Wenzhan in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Bai and others pushed Ji Wenzhan in.
Ji Wenzhan's hands were tied and his mouth was gagged. Perhaps because the road was too bumpy, he actually lost his helmet. The look of her hair half disheveled is no better than that of Lu Qingtang.
Ji Wenzhan looked at Ji Wuhen with a look of shame, and immediately knelt down to him, "My child is incompetent, please blame me father."
When Ji Wuhen heard what he said, he was inevitably angry.
Angry at Ji Wenzhan's soft-heartedness, he finally let Zhennan Prince's Mansion fall into his hands. But when I saw my son's embarrassed appearance, I couldn't help but feel distressed.
He sighed and put his hand on his shoulder, "What on earth is going on?"
Ji Wenzhan sighed and looked at Lu Qingtang with a wry smile.
Lu Qingtang spread his hands and stroked his messy hair, "Let me tell you."
At first, she had become suspicious when she saw Ji Wuhen sitting alone on the horse, so she took out the blade and hid it in her mouth in order to escape. At the same time, she also expected that Ji Wenzhan would come to see her, so she took the opportunity to hold him hostage.
Although he had been soft-hearted, he still did it, and he would not regret it. Who asked Ji Wuhen to attack him first?
After saying that, she looked at Ji Wuhen and said, "Old bastard, what do you think of my ability to improvise?"
"you!"
Ji Wuhen was scolded for the first time and was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but before he could speak, he was tied up by a group of guards.
Lu Qingtang was still shouting from the side, "I am a prince, don't hurt me too much, so I can take good care of you!"
"yes!"
All the guards responded in unison, which was deafening.
Lu Qingtang listened to their voices and was still wondering, where did Ling Guang go?
At this time, Ling Guang was already on his way to Kaishan Temple.
He drove the carriage and looked at the carriage behind him from time to time.
Although he didn't understand why Luoxue and Aunt Zhang insisted on finding Lu Qingtang, he still helped them.
Just when I was in front of the palace, I saw the door of the palace open, and I knew there was danger. But Lu Qingtang insisted on going in, and he couldn't stop him, so he had to sneak into the palace secretly to take the opportunity to help.
But who knew that after Lu Qingtang and Yu Bai entered the palace, the door was immediately closed, and they were arrested.
Ling Guang was anxious, but soon realized something was wrong.
Princess Chen is different from usual, she seems a little frailer, not as brave as she was in the cave that day...
It turned out to be intentional!
He was relieved, but how should he get out?
Today, the palace is heavily guarded, and even an ant passing by could be trampled to death.
When he was feeling worried, he saw Luoxue.
Luoxue was looking outside the courtyard gate, as if she was waiting for someone. He thought about it, and he must be waiting for Lu Qingtang.
So he quickly told Luo Xue and Aunt Zhang about Lu Qingtang's imprisonment.
Aunt Zhang was an old man in the palace, so she naturally knew what it meant to be captured alive behind closed doors. She was anxious and insisted on asking him to rescue Lu Qingtang.
However, Ling Guang went out again and saw Lu Qingtang holding Ji Wenzhan with a knife and leaving the palace, so he took the mother and daughter to Kaishan Temple.
…
Lu Qingtang redressed, put on clean clothes, took the children to have lunch, and then coaxed them to take a nap.
They had just fallen asleep when Mo Zeshen came in quietly, hugged her waist from behind, and whispered: "Are you all asleep?"
Lu Qingtang nodded, "Let's go out and talk."
The two came to the main hall, and Mo Zeshen stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, as if he was frightened, and refused to let go for a long time.
Lu Qingtang reached out and patted his shoulder and asked, "What are you going to do with these two men?"
"Kill him, or...or have other plans?"
Mo Zeshen was helpless at this moment. He sighed, "The King of Zhennan has meritorious service. There is no reason to kill him. If you insist on killing him, you can only get one charge. But I know that Ji Wenzhan is your brother and cannot be killed. If you don't kill him, He will still seek revenge in the future, which will lead to an endless cycle."
Lu Qingtang looked up at him with sadness in his eyes, "Is there no other way?"
Mo Ze looked deeply at her face, feeling a little unbearable, "Let me think about it again, let me think about it again..."
At this time, Su Mu, who was standing outside the door, coughed a few times.
Lu Qingtang raised his eyes and looked over, "What's the matter?"
Su Mu replied: "Back to the prince and princess, King Zhennan and the Crown Prince don't want to eat. What should I do?"
Lu Qingtang curled his lips, "If you don't eat, they'll be hungry. Just prepare water for them. If they're extremely hungry, they'll eat anything."
Isn’t this how the three babies were dealt with!
Su Mu said "Oh" and turned around to leave.
She came to the room where Zhennan Wang and his son were detained, took off the key from her waist and opened the door.
In the room, the food was not moved at all. It was placed on the table as it was. It had already gone cold.
One of them, father and son, was sitting on a chair, and the other was sitting on the Arhat's bed. They both looked frustrated.
Su Mu saluted them, "Your Majesty, my servant has taken away the food. If you are hungry, tell me."
They did not respond to Su Mu, and Su Mu also understood their current mood. He picked up the cold food on the table and turned to leave.
Recalling Lu Qingtang's instructions just now, she added, "Since you don't want to eat, I'll give you some tea. Are you used to drinking Longjing?"
Ji Wenzhan was still silent. Ji Wuhen licked his white lips, but still made no sound.
Su Mu saluted them again, turned around and left, not forgetting to lock the door.
She felt that there seemed to be eyes around her staring at her, but she looked around and found nothing, so she didn't take it to heart.
After putting the food back in the kitchen, Su Mu went to make tea. Just as the tea was brewed, he heard something moving outside. When he went out, there was still nothing. But as soon as she turned around, she felt a force of gravity on her back. She swayed a few times and then lost consciousness.
