Not to mention the guards, not even a palace servant followed him. No one would come to save him even if he starved to death.
Ye Zhen, who was about to leave, stopped when she heard this. She walked back and looked down at him. "What are you doing here alone?"
Mo Rongyi curled his lips and said, "I'm looking for someone!"
Who could there be for him to find here? Ye Zhen frowned and thought for a moment. "Do you want to go to Chengde Villa?"
"Yes, yes, but I accidentally got lost … My horse is missing. You help me up first. I will not treat you badly in the future." Mo Rongyi cried.
Ye Zhen smiled. "I want to help you up, but unfortunately, how can a weak woman like me save you?"
Mo Rongyi cried anxiously, "Just find a way to pull me up."
"Wait." Ye Zhen didn't want to meddle in other people's business. She thought that she would enter the palace as a female medical officer in the future. If she saved Mo Rongyi, she could at least win the favor of the empress dowager, which would also be good for her future actions in the palace.
There were two lengths of rope in the bag with the bow and arrow, which was originally intended to be used to tie up prey. It was just right to use them to pull Mo Rongyi up. Fortunately, he was only a ten-year-old child, or she would not have the strength.
"Are you ready?" Mo Rongyi did not see Ye Zhen's figure. He was afraid that she would leave him behind and run away.
Ye Zhen came over with two ropes tied together. "You hold the rope, I'll pull you up."
"You … Are you strong enough? Don't be pulled down by me. " Mo Rongyi saw that she was just a little girl. He was worried that he would not be saved and both of them would fall into a trap.
"Are you coming up or not? If you don't come up, I'm leaving." Ye Zhen asked angrily. She had learned archery since she was a child. Her strength was certainly greater than that of ordinary women. Even Yao Yao was not a spoiled little girl.
Mo Rongyi was really afraid that Ye Zhen would leave. He cried with a sob, "Don't go."
Ye Zhen thought that he was still a child and didn't want to scare him. She threw the rope to him. "Hold it and pull yourself up. Don't you practice martial arts? Is this little thing difficult for you? "
"I'm so hungry that I don't have any strength left." Mo Rongyi said in a low voice. He had been in this trap for almost four hours. He was already scared, and after shouting for so long, he was already tired and hungry.
"Tie the rope around your waist and hold on tight. I'll pull you up. You have to exert yourself too. As long as you don't starve to death, you'll have strength." Ye Zhen said, "If you can't come up, I will definitely let go, and then I really can't save you."
Mo Rongyi's face turned pale with fright. He grasped the rope and stepped on the wall with his feet. Then, he climbed up little by little with Ye Zhen's strength.
Ye Zhen's hands were red from the strangulation. Unexpectedly, saving this child was more difficult than saving Mo Rongzhan. At that time, she just threw the tree roots tied together into the well and tied them to the tree. Mo Rongzhan climbed up by himself.
"Boohoo, I don't have any strength left." Mo Rongyi used all the strength in his body to crawl up and cried on the ground.
Ye Zhen took the waterskin and fed him a mouthful of water. "Why are you crying? Aren't you coming up?"
Only then did Mo Rongyi react. After swallowing the water, he cried even louder.
"…" Ye Zhen simply didn't know how to react.
"I'm hungry, give me something to eat!" Mo Rongyi cried for a while, wiped his tears with one hand and ordered Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen thought to herself that he was indeed the son of the Mo family. His superior tone was really the same. "I only have two steamed buns."
"You go and find food for this prince. This prince will reward you." Mo Rongyi straightened his chest and said. He looked at Ye Zhen and found that the girl was very beautiful. Looking at her clothes, she did not seem to be a woman from a rich family. Now that she knew his identity, she would certainly curry favor with him.
Ye Zhen sneered. "This sister has no time to accompany you. Here are the waterskin and the steamed buns. Eat them and leave here."
"You're going to leave me here?" Mo Rongyi's eyes widened and he looked at Ye Zhen incredulously.
"What else? What else do you want? "Ye Zhen asked faintly.
Mo Rongyi took a bite of the steamed bun. "You … you send me back. I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold."
"I don't lack silver." Ye Zhen said.
"Then … then …" Mo Rongyi ate the steamed bun while thinking about what to tempt this woman. There was actually someone who didn't want gold? What else could he reward her with?
Ye Zhen sighed. "After you finish eating the steamed bun, walk along this road and you will see Chengde Villa. I have something to do, so I won't accompany you."
Mo Rongyi hadn't figured out what to use to tempt Ye Zhen when he saw her figure disappear into the woods.
There was such a person … She knew his identity but was indifferent!
He bit off two steamed buns one by one and drank all the water in the waterskin. Then he listened to Ye Zhen and walked along the road.
Not long after, he met Mo Rongzhan who came to find him.
Looking at Mo Rongzhan's gloomy face, Mo Rongyi burst into tears. "Brother, I almost died!"
"I think you are very good. You dare to run out of the capital alone!" Mo Rongzhan said coldly. If it weren't for his brother's disheveled appearance, he would have dragged him over and beaten him up.
Mo Rongyi cried out, "… I accidentally fell into a trap. I called out for a long time, but no one came to save me. Fortunately, a woman saved me just now. Brother, I almost couldn't see you anymore."
"Then how dare you get rid of the person who served you?" Mo Rongzhan asked angrily.
"I won't dare again." Mo Rongyi cried loudly.
Mo Rongzhan's eyes suddenly fell on the rope around his waist. He narrowed his eyes slightly. "What is this?"
"This is the rope that the woman used to rescue me." Mo Rongyi said, pointing to Ford. "Ford, come and help me untie it."
"Give it to me!" Mo Rongzhan looked at the rope and ordered.
Ford untied the rope and handed it to Mo Rongzhan with both hands.
Mo Rongzhan touched the knot on the rope. It was the same way Yao Yao tied tree roots. He looked at Mo Rongyi. "Where is the woman who saved you?"
"She left!" Mo Rongyi said. "I promised her a hundred taels of gold, but she didn't want it … What a strange person."
"Ford, send the little prince back to the villa." Mo Rongzhan ordered, then galloped in the direction Mo Rongyi had just come from.
