Although she had done everything she could, waiting was still painful. When Mingyi returned home, she laid out paper, studied ink, and started practicing writing down a thick stack of paper, she felt a little calmer, but the lights were already turned on in the there was no news at all from An Qian or Lu Zhao.
However, the person sent to watch at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion came back before nightfall, saying that the eldest princess had left the Prime Minister's Mansion a quarter of an hour ago and returned to the eldest princess's mansion, but her face was not very soon as the eldest princess returned to the palace, the imperial doctor invited by the back foot arrived in a hurry. The news she got from the prime minister's palace must not be very good.
After the dinner, Mingyi sent everyone away, leaving only Fan Shuang.
Fanshuang didn't dare to disturb her, she just wanted to hold her breath.
Seeing that the night was getting deeper and deeper, the rain was pattering outside, and it looked like it was going to rain all night. Fanshuang hesitated and hesitated again, and just when he was about to force himself to persuade Mingyi to rest first, there was a sound coming from the window lattice. There was a light tap.
Fanshuang suddenly tightened her breath and looked towards Mingyi. Mingyi happened to look towards her as well. With a look, Fanshuang lowered her eyes and turned towards the window. She opened the window and looked out, but there was nothing there. When I saw the person, there was a paper ball placed by the window, wrapped in a layer of oil hurriedly rolled the paper into her sleeves and sent it to Mingyi.
Mingyi unfolded it and took a look. There were just two lines on the note: Chu escaped first and is being followed. There is no trace of Princess Changning yet.
Mingyi put down the paper and pursed her lips the news is good or bad, it seems that Lu Zhao and the others are still not sure whether Li Fengjiao is with Chu Yanqing.
It really rained all night long, and the rain hit the banana trees. Mingyi listened to the sound of rain and the even breathing of frost outside, and stared at the unclear tent roof until dawn.
Because it was raining and it was getting late, Mingyi guessed that it was almost midnight, so she couldn't lie down anymore. As soon as she put on her clothes and sat up, she heard a light tap on the window lattice. Unable to wait to wake up Fan Shuang, she pulled up the soft bed beside her bed. He took off his shoes, rushed to the window in a few steps, and opened the window. There was no one outside the window, but there was still only a paper ball wrapped in oil hurriedly opened it and saw clearly what was written on the paper. She turned around and walked inside, shouting to Fanshuang.
Feeling that the carriage was not fast enough, Mingyi simply rode a horse. She had just learned how to ride a horse, and she usually rode at the racecourse. It was a bit thrilling at first, and Fan Shuang, who was following in the carriage behind, was , she has a calm temper now, and after running in with the horse for a while, she gradually became a tacit understanding.
After leaving the city, they galloped all the way, leaving Fan Shuang's carriage far behind.
After crossing Wangjiang without stopping, they walked another ten miles south and turned onto the mountain road. Almost a few miles away from the mountain pass, they bumped into a group of people, led by Fu Ruixuan and An Qian.
Ming Yi stopped his horse, bowed to Fu Ruixuan, and asked hurriedly, "Have you caught Chu Yanqing?"
"He fled up the mountain. I have asked people to chase him, and I was about to catch up." After Fu Ruixuan said that, he stopped delaying and galloped up the mountain with his men and horses.
Mingyi was also busy reining in her horse to follow, but a hand stretched out from Xiangxi and grabbed her turned around and saw that An Qian had driven his horse to her side at some point. His eyes were blazing, staring at her closely with a sharp light, "Why are you here? And you asked about Chu Yanqing?"
Mingyi's heart sank, but her face remained calm, "You can come, why can't I come? Didn't you say that? Will you tell me if you have any news?"
This time, An Qian was speechless. Mingyi ignored her, took the reins out of her hands, and started chasing Fu Ruixuan and his party up the was the sound of horse hooves behind him, and he thought An Qian was following.
However, after chasing not far, almost halfway up the mountain, they saw the people brought by Fu Ruixuan stopped, gathered around the edge of the mountain road, and looked down the stopped his horse and looked around. He didn't see Fu Ruixuan and frowned, "What's going on? Where is His Royal Highness the Prince?"
While they were talking, An Qian also arrived. She raised her whip on horseback and said, "What do you want me to ask you? You still don't answer?"
"Back to the Princess, the County Lord, just now... Chu Yanqing's carriage skidded and rolled down the mountain for some unknown reason. His Highness the Crown Prince couldn't wait any longer and had already led people down the slope..." Before the man could finish speaking, However, they saw Princess Yun'an and Princess Shoukang also changed their expressions. They both dismounted their horses and walked quickly down the slope. "Hurry up! Follow up quickly!" Someone among the guards hurriedly ordered, and several people hurriedly followed up to protect rest of the people still followed Fu Ruixuan's order and continued to stand by.
Although the rain has stopped, it rained all day and night yesterday, and the grass and trees in the mountains were covered with dew. Mingyi and An Qian walked through it for only a moment, and their dresses and cloaks were already soaked, but they didn't care. , and continued to push aside the grass and trees without saying a word. When they reached the bottom of the slope, they successfully met Fu Ruixuan and others, but saw them forming a circle with bad expressions on their faces.
Mingyi and the others passed by, and the discerning guards quickly got out of the way. Mingyi saw Chu Yanqing lying on the ground at a glance. His clothes were already soaked, and a branch passed through his chest, stained with bright red blood. There was still blood flowing down from the skirt of his chest.
Mingyi and An Qian both changed their expressions, "Where is Gillian?"
No one answered. The two turned around and saw the smashed carriage not far away, and quickly walked towards the carriage room that was still in shape...
"Gillian is not here!" Fu Ruixuan said in a deep voice.
An Qian turned around and rushed to Chu Yanqing, grabbed his collar, and asked harshly, "Where is Gillian? Where is Gillian?"
Chu Yanqing didn't answer her. He raised the corners of his mouth and let out a weird laugh. He spit out a large mouthful of blood with a "vomit" sound.
An Qian was startled, subconsciously let go of her hand and jumped away. Fu Ruixuan took her hand and turned sideways to hide her behind him.
Mingyi stepped forward and stretched out her hands to press several acupuncture points on Chu Yanqing's chest and neck... But the blood couldn't be stopped and spread crazily through Mingyi's fingers. Mingyi looked into Chu Yanqing's eyes. This had made her I have been attached to, resented, and even despised the person I slept with in my previous life. I feel very strange. My heart is calm and empty, like a puddle of stagnant water, sad but difficult to make waves.
"Where's Gillian? Tell me, where is Gillian?" Looking at each other, Mingyi repeated An Qian's question.
Chu Yanqing looked at her, his eyes seemed confused, and there was something else. As he looked, a strange light seemed to flash through his eyes, making him struggle wildly, waving his hands around, claws like hooks, grasping tightly. On Mingyi's hand, another weird and weird laughter came out of his mouth, accompanied by the sudden spasms and twists of his body, and the blood that couldn't help vomiting out of his mouth, it was ferocious and terrifying...
His nails dug deeply into Mingyi's skin. Mingyi frowned in pain and asked again, "Where is Gillian?"
Chu Yanqing didn't answer. He looked at her, laughing hard and twitching even harder. Suddenly he kicked his feet and struggled hard, but there was no movement.
"Dead." A guard came up to check his breathing and whispered back.
Dead... Mingyi could feel that his hand was still squeezing the back of her hand, and those eyes were still staring at her, as if he had seen through her... and seen through that she was dead. Resurrection, the evil ghost crawling back from hell...
"Mingyi!" Someone pulled her, it was An Qian.
Mingyi woke up and shook her head, no!When it comes to evil spirits, Chu Yanqing is a hundred times, a thousand times more evil than her! (End of this chapter)
