Qing Luan said helplessly, "Miss, it's your first time entering the palace. You're a little nervous. Unfortunately, we can't enter the Empress Dowager's palace, and we can't accompany you. "
Qing Yu smiled and said, "You can only scare yourself if you go in. Don't make trouble for Miss."
Ye Li leaned against the carriage and closed her eyes to rest. At the same time, she went through what happened in the palace today in her mind. When she was in the palace, she could only be careful everywhere. She didn't have time to think about many things. The emperor, the Empress Dowager, Noble Consort Liu … everyone seemed to be normal, but they seemed to hide some unknown tangled relationship. And Ye Yue …
No!
Ye Li suddenly opened her eyes. Qing Luan and Qing Yu were startled, "Miss, what's wrong?"
"The carriage is going the wrong way!" Ye Li said. Before he could finish his words, a long arrow pierced through the carriage with a whoosh.
In a remote alley somewhere in the capital, a carriage was parked quietly. The coachman who drove the carriage had already disappeared. Unknowingly, the carriage was surrounded by people. The man in the lead was wearing an inconspicuous gray dress. His long hair covered half of his face. The other half of his face looked stiff and ferocious. His only eye was emitting a bitter cold light. Even if the sun hadn't set yet, it still bloomed a touch of warmth. When it shone on the man, it gave people a kind of bone-chilling coldness.
"Come out!" The man's voice sounded gloomy. For a long time, there was no movement in the carriage. As if waiting impatiently, the man sneered and said, "If you don't come out, I'll shoot the arrow. I know the people inside are not dead. Come out. "
A moment later, a delicate and pretty girl unsteadily lifted the curtain and slid down from the carriage. Then, together with another delicate and pretty girl, they helped a pale girl with a delicate and pretty face down. There was an arrow stuck in the girl's right shoulder, and the area that was covered by her left hand was already dark red. "You … Who are you?"
The one-eyed man sneered. His ferocious eye flashed with a vicious light, "This is the future princess of Prince Ding? That cripple Mo Xiuyao sure has a good life. He only has half a life left, but there's still such a beautiful woman willing to marry him! "
Qing Luan stood in front, protecting the two people behind her. "Since you know who we are, how dare you be so rude?"
The one-eyed man sneered, "Others might be afraid of Mo Xiuyao, but I'm not. What's more … is there anyone in the capital who is afraid of him? "
Ye Li looked straight at the man. "Do you have a grudge against Prince Ding or the Xu family or the Ye family?"
The one-eyed man stared blankly for a moment before laughing maniacally, "Mo Xiuyao's woman? Interesting! I have no enmity with Mo Xiuyao, the Xu family, or the Ye family. What are you going to do about it? "Ye Li said," So you've taken other people's benefits and now you're looking for trouble? How much did you get? I'll double it. "
"You?" The one-eyed man stared at Ye Li, as if he was evaluating the credibility of her words. "I took twenty thousand taels of silver from other people to take your life. Can you afford it? "
Ye Li nodded. "If you let us go, I'll give you forty thousand taels."
"Why should I believe you?" The man's single eye shrank as he fiercely stared at Ye Li. No matter who it was, forty thousand taels of silver was definitely a number that could move people's hearts. The surrounding people's eyes also began to waver, but the one-eyed man didn't say anything, so they didn't dare to act rashly. Ye Li lightly said, "If you don't believe me, you can let my maid go back and give you the money. One hand for the money, and the other hand for the people, so we don't owe each other anything. Moreover … I don't think you want to kill me. I only ask that you don't hurt us. "
The one-eyed man's eyes fiercely twitched as he stared at Ye Li. "You think that I don't dare to kill you?"
"If you really want to kill me, just shoot us to death with arrows just now."
"Good, Mo Xiuyao's woman is really a bit different! You! Go back and get the money. If others know about it, or if you don't see the banknotes at the appointed place, then prepare to collect the corpse of your Miss. "
Qing Yu, who was pointed at, shook her head fiercely and said, "I don't want to go! Let Miss go back, we'll stay. "
The one-eyed man sneered, "Do you think that I will believe that the lives of two girls are valuable?"
Qing Yu gritted her teeth and said, "My Miss is injured. I know a little about medicine. Let Qing Luan go back. "
"The injury is not serious. If you come quickly, you won't have time to heal your Miss. Get lost!"
"Qing Yu, you go first." Ye Li softly said. Qing Yu bit the corner of her lips and nodded heavily. "Qing Luan, take good care of Miss."
Qing Luan nodded and turned around to help Qing Yu support Ye Li. Seeing Qing Yu stumbling out, the one-eyed man pointed at the two people beside him and said, "Follow that girl and get the banknotes back. As for you … Do you want to go by yourself or do I ask someone to invite you to go? "
"We'll go by ourselves."
They were kidnapped. Ye Li looked at the situation in front of her helplessly. Of course, a group of bandits could kidnap a future princess from the capital. It had to be said that this was also a very magical thing. Moreover, the group of people moved out of the capital at a very fast speed and came to a steep mountain 100 miles away from the capital. Obviously, they were indeed kidnapped by bandits because this was a bandit's village.
Perhaps because Ye Li was still worth 40,000 taels of silver, they were not thrown into the gloomy dungeon, but locked in a somewhat simple hut. When the door was closed, Qing Luan hurriedly walked to the door and listened to the movement outside. Then, she walked to Ye Li and whispered, "Miss, we are so far away from the capital, can Qing Yu find us?"
Ye Li put down the hand that had been pressing on her right shoulder and took the arrow off. The arrow entered from the right side of her chest and went in diagonally. It didn't hurt Ye Li at all. The red blood on her clothes was just the red rouge and a bottle of potion that Qing Yu carried with her. "He didn't intend to let Qing Yu come back at all. He just didn't want to give up the 40,000 taels of silver." Qing Luan was shocked. "Miss, you mean … they planned to kill us after taking the money?" Ye Li nodded and comforted Qing Luan with a smile, "Don't worry, those two people are not Qing Yu's opponents. She will be fine. "The worry on Qing Luan's face didn't disappear at all. She looked at her Miss helplessly. She was not worried about Qing Yu. She was worried about how they could get out of danger. Master and Eldest Young Master were comforted by them. Now that Miss was kidnapped by bandits, they could only be helpless. They were really useless!
"There are too many of them. It's not your fault." Ye Li smiled and said, "Help me bandage my wound."
Qing Luan nodded. She lowered her head and pulled a piece of cloth from the sleeve of the clean inner garment to bandage Ye Li's' wound '. She asked, "Miss, do you know who wants to harm us? Could it be madam? "
Ye Li shook her head and said, "She is short of money recently. It's unlikely that she would take out 20,000 taels of silver to kidnap me. And it's easy to find out. " The most important thing was that the other party obviously didn't mean to kill her. Then, either the other party was not afraid of her revenge, or the other party was someone she would never think of, so there was no way to take revenge. Therefore, it should not be Wang Shi.
