638. Chapter 638
Ye Yiqing felt panicked for the first time. Knowing that Zhaoyang was taken away by a kidnapper, he had a strong urge to kill.
He immediately asked someone to find Cao Yu, "Even if we turn the entire royal capital upside down, we still have to find Zhaoyang."
"It's impossible for those kidnappers to bring people back to the city. Cao Yu, you lead people to search outside the city. I'll go to the port to take a look." Ye Yiqing said in a deep voice.
For such a long time, no one has discovered how the kidnapper took the person away. It must not have been through the official road. There are people patrolling the official road occasionally. They would not take such a big risk. If I guessed correctly, it should be the official road. waterway.
Ye Yiqing had people blockade the port and all ships could not leave. He led his people to look for it one by one.
No one was found until it was almost dark, and there was no news from Cao Yu.
Could it be that Zhaoyang has been sent away from the royal capital?
"Teacher, we have searched almost all of the capital city, I'm afraid..." Cao Yu looked at Ye Yiqing who looked worried, and did not dare to say that Princess Zhaoyang had been sent away.
He had never seen a teacher so worried about a woman.
Ye Yiqing said in a deep voice, "It is impossible to leave the capital city so quickly. If we have already searched and found it, it must be at the port. Search all the ships carefully."
Cao Yu wants to say that everything here has been checked. If there is someone, it is impossible not to find it.
Ye Yiqing stood at the highest point. The night had not yet completely fallen. He could vaguely see a cargo ship floating in the river not far away. Because it was a little far away, it was not connected with other ships.
"Go over there and have a look." Ye Yiqing said.
"Teacher, someone has already checked that one, and nothing abnormal was found." Cao Yu said.
Ye Yiqing still insisted on going over to check.
The ship was carrying coarse grains, and there were more than a dozen bags of grains on it. The warehouse was also filled with sacks, and there was no one there.
"Teacher, there is no one in the boat." Cao Yu whispered.
Ye Yiqing stood in the cabin without moving. He pointed to the place where the sacks were stacked and said, "Move these."
Cao Yu took one look at him and immediately asked someone to move it away.
There is also a small door behind those goods.
Ye Yiqing immediately kicked the door open.
Behind the door is a hidden cabin, which should be used to put a lifeboat. There are currently several unconscious women locked inside. Ye Yiqing saw Zhaoyang lying unconscious in the innermost cabin at a glance.
"Zhaoyang..." Ye Yiqing was shocked and strode over to hug Zhaoyang.
"Teacher, these are all...all the women who have been abducted in the past few days." Cao Yu said in shock.
Ye Yiqing glanced at Zhaoyang in his arms and said, "Take everyone away. No matter what, we must find those kidnappers."
Cao Yu responded in a deep voice.
Find those kidnappers... and then cut them to pieces!
Ye Yiqing hugged Zhao Yang and left. When he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the sky had completely darkened. He asked Dr. Wang to take his name card to him. What he was most worried about was that Zhao Yang was... irreparably harmed.
Wang Yizheng thought it was because of some change in Ye Yiqing's injury, so he rushed over quickly, only to find out that it was because of a woman.
"Master Ye, this girl was just given some drugs and she should wake up soon." Dr. Wang said to Ye Yiqing.
Ye Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief. He signaled Dr. Wang to go outside to talk and asked Fangzhen to check carefully with the princess.
"This is an old friend of mine." Ye Yiqing explained to Wang Yizheng in a low voice.
Doctor Wang smiled and said, "It seems that this old friend is very important to you."
Ye Yiqing smiled lightly and sent Wang Yizheng away.
Standing under the eaves, Ye Yiqing stared at the moon in the sky with heavy eyes. He didn't know how to face Zhaoyang. He couldn't forcefully reject such a girl who he liked.
"Master, Princess Zhaoyang is awake." Hongling came over and whispered to Ye Yiqing.
Ye Yiqing nodded gently.
"The princess wants to see you." Hongling said.
"Meet me?" Ye Yiqing was startled for a moment and looked at the sky. It was already so late. She was not afraid of gossiping when she saw him at this time?
Ye Yiqing just hesitated for a while and then decided to go see Zhaoyang.
Zhaoyang did not suffer any other injuries. Except for being beaten a few times while struggling, there were no other wounds on her body. At least her innocence was still there.
After she learned that she had been rescued by Ye Yiqing, a spark of hope ignited in her heart.
Ye Yiqing walked in slowly from the outside. He raised his eyes and saw her dressed in moon-white clothes, standing gracefully by the window. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that she looked even weaker than usual at this time. One cannot help but want to pity and cherish her.
"Princess Zhaoyang, are you okay?" Ye Yiqing stood by the door and did not go any further.
"I'm fine." Zhaoyang nodded, her eyes fell on his handsome face, and she smiled slightly, "Master Ye, thank you for your help."
Ye Yiqing smiled and said, "It's nothing. The court is already cracking down on those kidnappers..."
The smile on Zhaoyang's face changed slightly, "So, Master Ye, are you saying that saving me is just a matter of effort?"
"No... Zhaoyang, don't get me wrong." Ye Yiqing said hurriedly.
"What may I have misunderstood?" Zhaoyang stared at him straightly, "Master Ye, are you afraid that I will stalk you? You can rest assured that I still have this bit of self-esteem."
Ye Yiqing sighed helplessly, "Zhaoyang, that's not what I meant. I watched you grow up. You are upright and youthful, but I have entered middle age. You are still young and have not experienced true deep love. In the future, You will regret this."
Zhaoyang looked at him with red eyes, "Aren't you unforgettable enough for me? If I can forget, why do I still remember you in these ten years?"
"What do you like about me?" This is what Ye Yiqing thinks about the most. He really doesn't know how she fell in love with him back then.
"How do I know..." Zhaoyang smiled bitterly. At that time, he was as handsome as an immortal. He always spoke softly to her, and his every smile made her heart beat. Even though he already had a family at that time, even he Her daughter was still her classmate, but she just couldn't control herself. If it wasn't for the purpose of forgetting him and cutting off this unwanted heartbeat, how could she listen to her stepmother's persuasion and obey the late emperor's offer of marriage? What about Beiming Kingdom?
Ye Yiqing whispered, "You stay here first, don't leave rashly again."
Seeing that he refused to face her feelings at all, Zhaoyang came to him angrily, "Aren't you afraid of causing gossip when you let me live here?"
"You are Yaoyao's friend, what kind of gossip can you have?" Ye Yiqing said with a smile.
"Because I want to get close to you!" After Zhaoyang said this, he stood on tiptoes and kissed his lips.
