Chapter 836, Hostage

After learning about the incident at Duke Wei's mansion, Xiao Yechi instantly understood that he had already been targeted. He was glad that he had spared a lot of money when he came out to meet this time, and did not go directly to see Mrs. Wei. Otherwise, he might have already He was surrounded by Jin Lingwei.

However, his situation is not optimistic now. He has to get out of the city quickly and cannot be trapped in the city. Otherwise, once Jin Lingwei finds his trace and orders the city gate to be closed, it will be difficult for him to escape. .

Xiao Yechi looked at Luo Qiong, who looked embarrassed and haggard, looked at her bulging belly, hesitated for a while, and decided to bring someone with him.

"Hurry up and pack up, and I'll take you out of here."

Hearing this, Luo Qiong's eyes suddenly lit up. She actually knew in her heart that a man like Xiao Yechi who does big things rarely has a long relationship with his son and daughter. As soon as the incident happened, she did Well prepared to be abandoned.

But at this moment, when she heard that Xiao Yechi was going to take her away, she was really surprised and moved, and felt that the decision she had made was worthwhile.

Luo Qiong pushed back the tears in her eyes and quickly turned around to pack her things.

Xiao Yechi, on the other hand, looked at Xiao Yechen, who had fainted on the ground. After thinking for a while, he took out a box from the room and stuffed the person inside.

When Luo Qiong saw it, she thought of what Xiao Yechen said before about how to deal with the child in her stomach, and said ruthlessly, "Brother Chi, kill Xiao Yechen."

In the past, he kept him because he wanted to compete for the title of the palace, but now, he already knew about her and Big Brother Chi, and it was useless to keep him.

Xiao Yechi ignored Luo Qiong and just said: "Leave him alive for now, maybe it will be useful later, anyway, he is also the son of a prince."

Hearing this, Luo Qiong was thoughtful and didn't say much. She walked behind the screen and changed into a new set of clean clothes. When she was ready, she couldn't help but look at 'Xiao Yechen' standing in front of the dressing table. shock.

'Xiao Yechen' smiled at Luo Qiong: "I prepared this human skin mask to meet you in private. Unfortunately, I haven't found a chance, but it finally came in handy today."

"There are many guards in the palace. When I came in, I wasted a lot of effort. It is not easy to take your secret away. In this way, I can only take you out of the palace in an open and honest way."

Luo Qiong stepped forward and carefully looked at 'Xiao Yechen' for a while: "This mask looks really good, but Xiao Yechen's eyes are not as sharp as yours, brother Chi, and his aura is not as strong as yours."

'Xiao Yechen' smiled and said, "I'll try to keep it as little as possible."

Luo Qiong looked at 'Xiao Yechen', then quickly opened the closet and took out a set of Xiao Yechen's clothes: "I made a full set for the show, and I feel wronged that Big Brother Chi is wearing Xiao Yechen's clothes."

'Xiao Yechen' wasn't so particular about it, he just took the clothes and changed them.

While helping him change his clothes, Luo Qiong told him about Xiao Yechen's habits.

After a while, the door opened again, and 'Xiao Yechen' walked out and called Gao Yuan: "Go prepare the carriage, I want to go out."

Gao Yuan did not have the slightest doubt, and immediately went to prepare.

Pingji's daughter-in-law kept staring at Chenyuan, Xiao Yechen was going to go out, and she didn't doubt it, but when she knew that 'Xiao Yechen' was going to take Luo Qiong out of the house, she realized something was wrong, and quickly went to Pingxi Hall , told Daohua about the matter.

"Xiao Yechen wants to take Luo Qiong out of the house?" Daohua frowned suspiciously.

What is Xiao Yechen going to do?

Could it be that he wanted to escort Luo Qiong to find an adulterer outside?

After pondering for a while, Daohua stood up and went outside: "Go, go and have a look."

The luck of 'Xiao Yechen' and Luo Qiong was not very good. Not long after leaving the Chenyuan, they met Prince Ping.

Seeing Prince Ping, 'Xiao Yechen''s eyes lit up, and then something really happened. Having this prince as a hostage was much more useful than the half-dead Xiao Yechen.

Prince Ping felt much pity for Xiao Yechen because of Princess Ma's death. Seeing 'Xiao Yechen' and Luo Qiong, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to leave the house?"

Luo Qiong was worried that Xiao Yechi would not answer, so she took the initiative to say, "Father, my husband dreamed of his mother-in-law again last night, so we thought about going to the temple today to light up some more lights for my mother-in-law."

Prince Ping nodded: "You guys are interested." He said, looking at 'Xiao Yechen', "Take care of your daughter-in-law, she is pregnant now."

'Xiao Yechen' took the opportunity and said, "Father, do you want to go with us? If the mother-in-law knows that you are lighting her up, she will be very happy."

Luo Qiong glanced at 'Xiao Yechen', understood his intention, and immediately took the words: "Father, the mother and concubine, on the day of the accident, I asked for a blessing for you in front of the Buddha, saying that when I came back, I would give it to you with my own hands. It's a pity for you."

Seeing that both of them were sad, Prince Ping thought about Ma's past gentleness, thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, this prince will go with you."

Seeing that Prince Ping agreed, 'Xiao Yechen' and Luo Qiong couldn't help but be overjoyed, but before the two were happy, Daohua came over with the maids.

"Father, is this going to leave the house?"

Seeing Daohua coming, Luo Qiong frowned, but thinking that Xiao Yechen didn't say anything about her, he slowly calmed down.

'Xiao Yechen'' eyes lit up again. Xiao Yeyang was the main figure in annihilating the Eight Kings' party members. The father and king died of illness on the way to escape because of Xiao Yeyang's relentless pursuit. If Xiao Ye was caught Yang's daughter-in-law, he also wants to let him taste the pain of the skin.

Daohua came to the three of them with a smile. After seeing Prince Xiang Ping, she blessed Xiao Yechen and Luo Qiong.

Seeing the two people's bodies close to each other, there was a slight doubt in their eyes.

When a husband learns that his wife is stealing people outside, he should be full of disgust under normal circumstances. He won't have physical contact with his wife at this time, right?

Seeing that it was Daohua, Prince Ping didn't hide it, and directly revealed that 'Xiao Yechen' and Luo Qiong were going to the temple to light a lantern for Princess Ma.

Hearing this, Daohua became more and more puzzled.

Xiao Yechen should know that Princess Ma's death is related to Luo Qiong. What do you want to do with Luo Qiong to light a lamp for Princess Ma? Reinvent the scene?

"That's how it should be."

Daohua echoed Prince Ping's words with a smile, and looked at 'Xiao Yechen' and Luo Qiong without expression, seeing the bruises on the corner of Luo Qiong's mouth, she asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, why is your face hurt? ?"

Luo Qiong stroked the corner of her mouth with her hand, her face a little unnatural: "I touched it accidentally."

As soon as these words came out, before Daohua responded, Prince Ping became dissatisfied: "How do the maids serve you, you are a person with two bodies, how can you be bumped into?"

Daohua took the words with a smile: "Yes, sister-in-law, you have to pay attention to all kinds of things during pregnancy. Although it is appropriate to light a lamp for the princess, there are many people in the temple. In order to prevent accidents, we should wait until delivery. Go later."

As he said that, he looked at 'Xiao Yechen'.

"The princess is most concerned about the eldest brother's heirs. She would have understood why she refused to light the lamp for a few months."

'Xiao Yechen' and Luo Qiong wanted to take Prince Ping out of the house together, but Daohua instinctively felt something was wrong and wanted to stop it.

'Xiao Yechen' glanced at Daohua and said nothing, but said directly to Prince Ping: "Father, concubine mother entrusted her son with a dream last night, and the son wanted to light a lantern for his concubine today."

"The second brother and sister disrespected the mother-in-law before she was alive. Now that the mother-in-law is dead, and the son is going to light the lamp for the mother-in-law, she has to stop her here in every possible way. I really don't know what her heart is at?"

Prince Daohua Jianping frowned and said in a low voice, "I just said something for the sake of the child in my sister-in-law's belly. Big brother can go if he wants, and I won't be that wicked person anymore."

Seeing that Daohua was no longer entangled, Luo Qiong quickly pulled the sleeve of 'Xiao Yechen' and motioned him to leave quickly.

When Daohua saw Luo Qiong's small movements, she was not only puzzled, but also strange.

Seeing the injury on Luo Qiong's face, Xiao Yechen should have done something to her. Facing a husband who was abusing her, her reaction was too wrong.

Why do you feel so dependent on 'Xiao Yechen'?

Also, although Luo Qiong's eyes were a little dodgy, there was not much panic between her brows, which was too inconsistent with her current situation.

'Xiao Yechen' ignored Luo Qiong, but looked at Daohua: "Second younger brother and sister, the father and the king are going to light the lamp for the mother and concubine. As a junior, shouldn't you also show your heart?"

Hearing this, before Daohua could respond, Luo Qiong shook her head vigorously at 'Xiao Yechen': "The second younger brother and sister is in charge of Pingxitang, and there are so many things on weekdays, why should we bother her?"

Prince Ping also knew Daohua's attitude towards Princess Ma, and he didn't want to embarrass her, so he immediately said, "Okay, I'll just go with you, girl Yan, let's go back and take care of you."

Daohua felt wrong and didn't want Prince Ping to go out with her, but she had no reason to stop her. After thinking about it, she could only laugh and say, "The father and the king are gone, so let me go too."

Seeing that Daohua was about to follow, Luo Qiong frowned.

She knew that the reason why the wrong month of the child in her stomach was discovered was because of Yan Yiyi.

This person is too observant, and she really doesn't want to have more contact with her.

Luo Qiong was about to remind 'Xiao Yechen' when she heard 'Xiao Yechen' loudly instructing Gao Yuan to prepare the carriage.

Seeing this, Luo Qiong thought for a while, but didn't say anything more. No matter how strong Yan Yi's observation was, with Big Brother Chi around, what waves could she make?

Taking advantage of the gap between returning to the room and changing clothes, Daohua asked Yan Ying to quickly inform Xiao Yeyang: "Tell him that Xiao Yechen is going to take Luo Qiong and his father to the temple to offer incense."

After Yan Ying left, Daohua quickly changed into plain clothes and went to find Prince Ping.

The gate of the palace.

Daohua frowned when she heard "Xiao Yechen" asking them to ride in the same carriage.

However, Prince Ping had already got into the carriage, and Daohua could only lift her skirt and follow.

After she got up, 'Xiao Yechen' helped Luo Qiong into the car.

Daohua was sitting in the carriage, just when she saw the scene where the two of them were clasping their hands tightly, her gaze shifted on the slightly rough hands of 'Xiao Yechen'.

After the carriage started, Daohua finally found out that something was wrong.

Xiao Yechen is a pampered and weak scholar with fair and delicate hands. Because he is well maintained, he looks a little better than ordinary girls, and his hands and roughness are not compatible.

The person in front of him is not Xiao Yechen!

Daohua suddenly thought of Mrs. Wang and the discussion of the human skin mask with Xiao Yeyang before.

In an instant, Daohua's heart skipped a beat. Seeing Luo Qiong's inadvertent attachment, she instantly guessed who this person was in front of her.

Xiao Yechi!

This man is so daring, he came directly to the palace!

In the small carriage, with Prince Ping present, Daohua didn't dare to act rashly, but quietly crushed the fragrant pills in her purse.

Immediately, a faint scent diffused in the carriage.

The carriages of the palace were luxuriously decorated, and when they smelled the fragrance, 'Xiao Yechen' just frowned and didn't pay too much attention.

Government of Wei.

Elder Wei did not wait for Xiao Yechi to come to meet him. Under Xiao Yeyang's gaze, he was about to write a second letter, but at this moment, Yan Ying arrived.

Seeing Yan Ying, Xiao Yeyang walked out without saying a word: "What happened?"

Yan Ying quickly explained that 'Xiao Yechen' brought Luo Qiong and Prince Ping to incense: "Master was worried that something happened to the prince, so he followed."

Xiao Yeyang frowned and pondered for a while, and handed over the guarding of the Duke's mansion to the other Jinling guards, and he quickly left with the dark guards.

On the other side, the carriage of the palace came to the bustling market. Daohua silently calculated the time of the medicinal effect. Seeing that there were people selling sacrificial offerings on the street, she thought about it and asked the carriage to stop for a while.

However, the coachman did not listen to her.

Prince Ping looked at Daohua: "Yan girl, what's the matter with you?"

Daohua smiled and said, "There are people selling sacrificial offerings on the street, so I want to go down and buy some."

'Xiao Yechen' looked over and said indifferently, "There is everything in the temple, so you don't need to go down to buy it."

Seeing that Xiao Yechen's attitude was too cold, Prince Ping couldn't help but say, "Yan girl is also kind, so stop the car and let her buy some."

Daohua could see from Xiao Yechi's eyes just now that he would never stop at this time, and hurriedly stopped Prince Ping: "Father, since there is everything in the temple, I'm too lazy to get out of the car."

At this moment, the box placed behind the carriage suddenly made a 'bang bang bang' sound, as if something inside was hitting the box.

The four people in the carriage heard it clearly and felt the vibration.

Prince Ping looked at 'Xiao Yechen': "What's in the box?"

'Xiao Yechen' smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a dog that doesn't obey discipline."

Prince Ping frowned, and just as he was about to say something, he saw Daohua shaking his head at him.

Luo Qiong saw it, and suddenly said: "You know, right?"

Daohua pretended to be puzzled: "Sister-in-law, what did you say?"

‘Xiao Yechen’ also looked over.

Luo Qiong said to herself: "The people Xiao Yeyang can like can't just be beautiful, I ask myself it's okay to hide it, but you can still see that the month of the baby in my womb is wrong, with your temperament, It is impossible to light the lamp and incense for the mother and concubine, but you just followed, and you found it, right?"

Hearing this, 'Xiao Yechen''s expression didn't change much, but his gaze towards Daohua became dangerous.

The box at the back is still 'banging'.

Daohua smiled: "I don't know what you are talking about?"

Luo Qiong also smiled: "Do you know why I didn't stop you from following? One is the need of your husband, and the other is that you, a person whose identity and status are not as good as mine, should not live so well."

Daohua stopped pretending, and said directly: "You are sick, and you are not too sick, otherwise, a good hand would not be so bad."

Prince Ping was confused by the conversation between the two: "What are you talking about?"

'Xiao Yechen' didn't want things to change, so he looked at Daohua coldly: "Since you found out, just like Xiao Yechen, let's faint for a while."

Having said that, he will raise his hand to stun Prince Peace of Daohua.

However, Xiao Yechi was horrified, and he found that his hands and feet were not able to work hard.

"You" The moment Xiao Yechi spoke, a dumb medicine flew into his mouth.

Then, before Luo Qiong could react, she was also given a dumb medicine.

Immediately, both of them fell silently into the carriage.

Prince Ping stared blankly at this scene.

Daohua handed him the antidote for Ruanjinsan and explained in a low voice, "Father, this man is not Xiao Yechen, he should be Xiao Yechi, the son of the Eighth King."

Prince Ping's eyes were bulging, and he was about to ask something when Daohua stopped him.

"Father, there must be Xiao Yechi's accomplices outside. We can't let them find out." After speaking, he stood up and slammed into the box behind the carriage.

"boom!"

The box fell off the carriage.

The coachman noticed and had to stop the carriage.

The carriage stopped, seeing one of the coachmen go to the box, Daohua kicked open the door, gave the outside coachman a soft shrine, and pulled Prince Ping to quickly rush out of the carriage.

"What about the two of them?"

"Father, let's ensure our own safety. For arresting people, there is Jin Lingwei."
