After some thought, they set off in the direction of the army's return. Tens of thousands of soldiers could be seen ambushing them from the public road from a distance. The sight was quite spectacular.
Fu Baoguo quickened his pace and walked forward. The general riding on top of the horse was this time's vice commander-in-chief, General Chen Rong.
Chen Rong recognized Fu Baoguo, and she was shocked and surprised to see him here.
He hastily jumped down from the horse and walked over to Fu Baoguo. "Commander Fu, why have you come?"
"On His Majesty's orders, we have come to look for Crown Princess Jing."
"Looking for Crown Princess Jing? The princess is here? "
Chen Rong was shocked. She glanced at the horse carriage behind and lowered her voice, pulling Fu Dian to the side. "What's going on? Wasn't Crown Princess Jing supposed to be in the capital? "Why did you come here?"
He lowered his voice and once again glanced in the direction of the carriage. "The prince was heavily injured and unconscious, and has just woken up today. Do not let the prince know about this."
After hearing Chen Rong's words, the hope that Fu Baoguo had held in his heart all the way here was completely extinguished.
It seemed like the wangfei had indeed been taken away by those people and had not met up with the prince.
Yan Yuan leaned into the carriage, it was very big, it was very spacious and inside it were all sorts of things that Yan Yuan needed.
Yan Yuan's injuries were severe, even though the carriage was very big and stable, and it did not budge the slightest bit when he walked, Chen Rong still did not dare to walk too fast on the way back to the capital, for fear of dragging his wound.
Thus, even though he was anxious, there was nothing he could do. He could only endure his temper and rush back to the capital.
The matter of him being injured, Chen Rong had already reported it to the Kaiser, so Qing Er was sure to have received the news, and she would not be able to stay at ease in the capital.
Seeing the carriage suddenly stop, Yan Yuan frowned, then called out: "Qi Feng."
"Your Highness."
"Why did you stop?"
"I'll go take a look."
Very quickly, Qi Feng returned. With a slightly hesitant tone, he said, "Your Highness, it's the Commander of the imperial guard, Lord Fu."
"Fu Dai is here? What is he doing? "
The leader of the imperial guards was in charge of the Kaiser's personal safety, why would he come here?
A sense of unease inexplicably rose in Yan Yuan's heart.
He supported himself up slowly as he sat down, but Qi Feng, who was outside the carriage, had fallen into silence.
Yan Yuan's face sank, "Why aren't you speaking?"
"Prince …"
Qi Feng frowned, feeling troubled. After hesitating for a while, he said honestly, "Half a month ago, the wangfei left the capital in secret to look for you. The emperor was worried, so he sent his imperial bodyguards over to look for her …"
"What!"
Yan Yuan was so shocked that he suddenly sat up from the carriage. Because his movements were too big, it involved a wound, causing him to pale white from the pain.
The curtain of the carriage was opened by Qi Feng, "Your Royal Highness, your injuries have not recovered yet, you must not move recklessly."
At this time, how could Yan Yuan still stop him? He held onto his wound, and because of excitement, he kept dragging it along, and because his lungs were injured, he coughed very hard.
"Go..." Go and call in the banquet... Cough cough … "Cough, cough …"
As he said that, he stood up to get off the carriage, but was stopped by Qi Feng, "Your Highness, don't move. I'll call Commander Fu over right now."
"Quick... Cough cough … "Hurry up and go …"
Yan Yuan's face was terrifyingly white. The wound that had not completely healed was torn apart by intense movements, and the blood from the wound dyed the white undergarment on his body.
Qi Feng did not dare delay any further and immediately ran over to call Fu Baoguo over.
"Your humble servant greets Your Highness."
"Exactly … Just what was going on? Cough cough … Where's the princess' wife? "
Yan Yuan's face became uglier and uglier. On his forehead, the pain from his wounds being torn caused him to perspire profusely.
Seeing Yan Yuan's expression, Fu Cui did not dare to hide anything and explained what he found out to Yan Yuan once.
"Two groups of men …"
Yan Yuan repeated his words in a low voice. At this moment, he could only force himself to calm down, as Fu Baoguo stood in front of him, not daring to leave. After a while, he heard Yan Yuan ask, "Princess, did you go out to the capital alone?"
"No, the wangfei also brought a servant girl called Jin Shu with her."
This was the information he had received from the emperor before he left the capital.
"Jin Shu also came out?"
"Yes."
Seeing that Yan Yuan did not say anything, he leaned against the carriage's wall tiredly. After a while, he said to Qi Feng: "Jin Shu probably left a mark on the road, send a few people to look around, see where they went."
"Yes."
Qi Feng understood what Yan Yuan meant, but without asking further, he accepted the order immediately.
As one of the hidden guards of the Crown Princess Jing, as the leader of the hidden guards, Qi Feng naturally knew the special mark of the King Jing Palace's secret guard. Since the princess had brought Jin Shu out, with Jin Shu's experience, she would definitely leave marks along the way for them to find.
This was the most basic ability of the hidden guards. As long as Jin Shu had the ability to move, he would definitely leave behind clues.
And the truth was just as Yan Yuan had guessed.
The Shen Ji Hall's main hall was located in the mountains around the four sides of the mountain. The terrain here was easy to defend but hard to attack, coupled with the dense forest, the scenery in the surroundings were arranged according to the Eight Trigrams Trigrams. If one did not have the profound formation ability, even if one could trace this place and did not understand the Eight Trigrams, they would still be lost in this forest.
After Liu Ruo Qing and her master were brought here by Xiaoyi, they basically did not see her again, but occasionally a servant would come over to bring them food and medicine.
However, those servants were only servants. Other than bringing food and food, they would not speak to them. There was no one guarding the courtyard they lived in. It seemed like they were sure that they would not be able to escape.
Although Liu Ruo Qing was worried for Yan Yuan, being trapped here, she could only let herself rest for the time being in order to think of a way to escape.
"How is it? Are you feeling better?"
No one was watching, so Liu Ruo Qing seemed to be more at ease. After recuperating for a few days, her injuries were much better, although his movements were still not very convenient, but compared to when she was about to die, they were much better.
"Your servant is already much better."
Jin Shu's eyes looked around the courtyard. She frowned, but her eyes were locked tight, but she still spoke solemnly: "Princess, don't worry. This servant will think of a way to bring you out."
Liu Ruo Qing knew that Jin Shu was sincere, but at the moment, it would not be so easy to get out.
"Yeah, I'm not worried. From the looks of it, they won't do anything to us for now. First, you should focus on recuperating from your injuries so that we can get the chance to leave."
Liu Ruo Qing consoled her. According to the date, they had already been brought here for a few days already. On that day, she secretly made Jin Shu leave a mark, so if Yan Yuan knew that she was taken away, he only needed to track those marks to find out.
