Qing Luan frowned, "But Miss didn't offend anyone."
Ye Li was silent. They kidnapped her, but they didn't intend to take her life. Then … once the news of her being kidnapped by bandits spread out, her reputation would be ruined. "Marriage."
"What?"
"Someone doesn't want me and Prince Ding to get married smoothly." Ye Li said faintly.
"Li Wang!" Qing Luan said hatefully.
Ye Li shook her head, "Maybe, but not necessarily." Mo Jingli should know that if something happened to her, the first person Mo Xiuyao would look for would be him.
"Then … what should we do now? Qing Luan, open the door and Miss can take the opportunity to escape. "
Ye Li shook her head. This place was at least a hundred li away from the capital. If it was really for her and Prince Ding's marriage as she guessed, then the news of her being kidnapped would have spread out as soon as she left the capital. If she was alone, it might not be difficult to leave this stockade. But even if she went back now, it would be useless. Then, it was better to stay. Maybe there would be some unexpected discoveries. "Take a rest first. We'll talk later."
"Yes, Miss."
Ding Palace
"Prince!" The head steward of the palace came in anxiously. Seeing Mo Xiuyao's face, he didn't have time to salute and hurriedly said, "Prince, something bad happened."
Mo Xiuyao suddenly raised his head, "What happened?"
"Just now, the people below came to report that there was a sudden rumor outside, saying that Third Miss Ye was kidnapped by flower thieves — —" The sudden piercing gaze made the head steward's words stop abruptly. The head steward couldn't help but shiver. He looked at the man sitting in the wheelchair with some trepidation, "Prince …"
Mo Xiuyao closed his eyes and suddenly opened them, asking, "What happened?"
"This subordinate also doesn't know what happened. When the servants went out to buy things for the Prince's wedding, they heard the news being spread all over the place. When he felt that something was wrong, he hurried back to report it to his subordinates. This subordinate does not dare to delay, right now … "Mo Xiuyao raised his hand to interrupt him, saying:" Immediately send someone to the Minister's manor to see if Li Li has returned. Another group of people is to immediately investigate Miss Li's whereabouts after she left the palace, as well as the situation in the palace! "
"Yes, I'll go right away!" The supervisor didn't dare to stay any longer. He turned around and quickly disappeared into the corridor.
"Ah Jin, inform Feng San that no matter what method you use, I do not want to hear any more rumors in the capital," Mo Xiuyao said indifferently in the quiet study, but the murderous intent in his voice made people tremble in fear.
"Yes."
"Prince." The steward who had just left appeared at the door.
"What is it?"
"Eldest Young Master Xu just sent someone to deliver an invitation, inviting Prince to quickly come to the Xu Residence for a chat."
Mo Xiuyao lowered his gaze. "I understand."
Xu Residence's Residence
In the main courtyard, Qing Yu sat powerlessly on a chair. The sleeve of her left arm was torn, and half of her sleeve was dyed red with blood. The two men that the one-eyed man had sent to follow her were unconscious on the ground. Xu Hongyu sat at the head of the table with a heavy expression. Below him sat Xu Hongyan and Xu Qingchen. Xu Qingze and the others stood to the side, their expressions unsurprisingly ugly. "How are the rumors outside?" Xu Hongyu asked in a heavy voice.
Xu Hongyan said: "Someone deliberately spread it. According to Qing Yu, it hasn't even been two hours since Li 'er was kidnapped, and the rumors have already spread throughout the capital. "
"People have been sent to secretly search all over the capital. But … I'm afraid Li 'er is no longer in the capital. "Xu Qingchen said with a frown.
"The dignified Son of Heaven actually allowed so many people to kidnap two weak women. What are the capital's guards doing?" Xu Qingfeng was furious.
Xu Qingchen frowned and said: "We'll talk about this later. Can't these two people wake up? "
Qing Yu said: "This servant has drugged them with Agarwood Intoxication. They should wake up in fifteen minutes." She originally wanted to lure these two people back to the Xu family, but she didn't expect that one of them would be so alert and see through her plan. In his anger, he wanted to kill her to silence her. She helplessly spent a lot of effort and time to make these two people faint. Only then could she inform the eldest young master. But she didn't expect that in such a short time, the news of the young miss being kidnapped would spread throughout the capital.
"Since you can't wake them up, leave it to I." A faint voice came from the door. Everyone turned to look. Mo Xiuyao was wearing plain clothes, sitting in a wheelchair with an indifferent expression as he stared at the two unconscious people on the ground. Behind him, the silent A 'Jin pushed the wheelchair in.
"Prince." Everyone stood up. Mo Xiuyao raised his hand, "Business is more important. There's no need for formalities. A 'Jin. "
"Yes, Prince." A 'Jin walked forward. With a flick of her right wrist, a thin long whip appeared in her hand. There were small barbs on the tip of the whip, shining coldly under the candlelight.
"Pa — —" The long whip viciously lashed at the unconscious body on the ground. With a tearing sound, the barbs on the whip tore off a piece of skin and flesh. While everyone was stunned, A 'Jin mercilessly lashed out with the whip again. "Pa — —"
"Pa — —"
After five lashes, a painful groan came from the ground. One of the people was the first to open his eyes. What greeted him was a long whip that was like a poisonous snake. "Ah!"
"Pa — —"
"Ah, ah … …"
"Save me! Spare me! Spare me … … Ah! "
Mo Xiuyao leaned against the wheelchair with an indifferent expression, "Tell I, where are the people you kidnapped?"
"No … … I don't know. Prince, spare me … … Prince, spare me! "
"Pa — —"
"Ah, it hurts … … No, Prince, spare me. I really don't know … … "
"I only want to know the whereabouts of the people you kidnapped. Tell me and I will spare your life. "Looking down at the person on the ground, Mo Xiuyao's expression was indifferent. The person under his gaze couldn't help but tremble. He moaned, "I … … I really don't know." Mo Xiuyao nodded, "I admire your backbone. I hope your backbone will allow you to live." The wheelchair slowly moved to the side of the person on the ground. That person endured the tearing pain in his body and stared at the person getting closer and closer to him. His eyes flashed with ecstasy. The moment Mo Xiuyao approached him, he suddenly jumped up and pounced at him. But the person in the wheelchair was clearly faster. The moment the person was about to touch him, he slumped to the ground. Then, Mo Xiuyao used a strange technique to quickly point at various parts of the person's body. Then, there was a series of bone-chilling kacha kacha sounds accompanied by an incomparably mournful scream. The person who originally pounced over like a fierce tiger fell beside the wheelchair like a ball of rags. Mo Xiuyao took the handkerchief A 'Jin handed him and slowly wiped the right hand that had poked the person's body. He looked sideways at the other person on the ground, "Now, are you willing to tell I the answer?"
