Chapter 171 Everyone has their own plans
When Chu Yunxi woke up, it was dark in front of her eyes. It took her a long time to adapt to the light. She looked around and found that it was a square room with only a stone bed, which was the one she was sleeping on. There was a square table in the middle of the room with an oil lamp on it, which was the only light in the room.
It's a bit like a dark prison. As soon as the oil lamp goes out, there is no light at all.
Chu Yunxi actually didn't like this kind of environment. She had been locked up for a long time in her previous life. Looking at that tiny bit of light every day was like looking at that tiny bit of hope of life in her heart. If it was a person with a slightly worse mental quality, they would definitely go crazy after being locked up like this for a few days.
Fortunately, Chu Yunxi had been well trained in psychology, and she firmly believed that she could get out, so she was able to keep a cool head. Sure enough, she found an opportunity to get out later.
What's more, she wanted to come in voluntarily this time.
She once said, "You can't get a tiger cub without taking the risk!" This was also the reason why she let Bai Yu go first.
Chu Yunxi stood up, walked around the room, knocked on the wall, and found that the wall was made of fine steel. There was no place to break through. The only entrance and exit was the door, which was now locked from the outside. There was no doubt that someone was guarding it.
Chu Yunxi lay down on the stone bed again. Since she couldn't go out, she should rest and recuperate. Sun Shaoyuan definitely didn't keep her here just to lock her up. Besides, Xiao Mubei, Wen Rulan, and Chu Zhongxi would not just let her disappear.
There is such a secret room in the home of a Minister of Revenue. There must be something fishy going on.
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Yunxi fell asleep again. The door was opened from the outside. She opened her eyes lazily and saw Sun Shaoyuan walk in.
Chu Yunxi looked at him and closed her eyes again. Sun Shaoyuan said, "Princess, please forgive me. I really had no choice but to do this. As long as you are willing to treat my little sister, I will immediately set up a banquet to apologize to you and send you back home."
Chu Yunxi did not open her eyes either, and said calmly: "Young Master Sun, I have said it before, it is not that I am unwilling to treat your sister, but I am really powerless. I am also very sorry. If Young Master Sun lets me go now, I will forgive you for your eagerness to save my sister."
Sun Shaoyuan said, "In that case, I have no choice but to offend you. I can only lock up the princess and my younger sister together. If anything happens to my younger sister, please forgive me for my disrespect."
Chu Yunxi closed her eyes and stopped talking. Sun Shaoyuan waited for a while, but seeing that Chu Yunxi had no intention of talking, he could only sigh, turned around and left.
Chu Yunxi opened her eyes and watched the door close in front of her. She vaguely saw that the light outside was also dim, and it seemed to be a corridor.
-
Dingbei Palace.
Xiao Mubei smashed a cup, Bai Yu knelt on the ground and said, "It was my incompetence that failed to protect the princess. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Xiao Mubei waited for a while and said, "You said the princess didn't resist with weapons, and she let you go first?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. I am not trying to shirk my responsibility. I feel that the princess seems to want to be caught on purpose. Based on my understanding of the princess, she is not someone who will sit still and wait for death."
Xiao Mubei's brain was working rapidly. If Chu Yunxi was caught on purpose as Bai Yu said, then she must want to go deep into the Sun family to look for clues. How should he cooperate with her at this time?
In the eyes of the Sun family, Chu Yunxi was just a weak woman who was powerless. They certainly did not take her seriously. They would guard her closely, but not to the extent of being on high alert. I'm afraid most of their energy would have to be spent on guarding against themselves.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mubei asked, "Do you know where Senior Brother Wen is now?"
Bai Yu lowered his head and said, "On the way back, I ran into Master Wen. After hearing about this, he rushed to the Sun family."
After Wen Rulan left, Xiao Mubei felt a little relieved, so he stood up and said, "Gather the Purple Guards, bring the palace soldiers, and call my second brother, and we will go to the Sun family to ask for the person."
"Yes."
As soon as Xiao Mubei led his men out of the door, Chu Zhongxi rushed out from the neighboring Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion, holding a red tasseled spear used on the battlefield in one hand, and flew to Xiao Mubei angrily, "Who is so bold as to kidnap my little sister?"
Xiao Mubei asked Bai Yu to lead the horse over, "Brother, get on the horse, we will talk while walking."
-
Sun family.
When Sun Shaochen returned home, he heard about Sun Shaoyuan holding the concubine of King Dingbei. He immediately became furious and went to Sun Shaoyuan in a rage, "Brother, why are you so confused?"
Sun Shaoyuan was not convinced. "My little sister fainted today, but she was still unwilling to help. She said that doctors are kind-hearted. Let me tell you, she is a vicious woman. I will put her and my little sister together. If my little sister lives, she will live too. If my little sister dies, she will be buried with her."
There was a gleam of resentment in Sun Shaoyuan's eyes.
Sun Shaochen was so disappointed that he said, "Brother, have you forgotten that father is still in the Dali Temple? That is the territory of Prince Dingbei. Now that you have detained Princess Dingbei, aren't you afraid that Prince Dingbei will vent his anger on father?"
"My father is an important official in the court. Who would dare to touch him unless His Majesty issues an order to punish him?"
"Brother," Sun Shaochen felt overwhelmed and said patiently, "Father is now a prisoner, how can he be a senior official? You blatantly detained the concubine of King Dingbei. King Dingbei will definitely come to your house to ask for punishment. How are you going to deal with it?"
"You won't admit it. He can't find her anyway. At worst, we can wait until my sister is well and then destroy the body. Besides, if our plan succeeds and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince takes the throne, why would we be afraid of the King of Dingbei? Daddy will be safe too."
"Big brother!"
Sun Shaochen was so angry that his head hurt. He felt that he could not communicate with him, so he could only say: "This is not appropriate. I will release the princess and apologize. At this time, we must not cause trouble."
As he was about to go out, Sun Shaoyuan stopped him, "Second brother, now it has come to this. Even if you release the princess, will the King of Dingbei let us go, but will he let father go? Will the princess still treat my sister? Are you going to watch my sister die?"
"you…"
Sun Shaochen was in a dilemma. He sighed and fell on the armchair. After thinking for a while, he showed a resolute light in his eyes. "If that's the case, then we must not let the concubine of King Dingbei leave the Sun family alive."
"That's right." Sun Shaoyuan also breathed a sigh of relief. His younger brother was smarter than himself, but he was too indecisive. Unless he pushed him, he would not be able to make up his mind.
Sun Shaoyuan felt that he had finally made the right move.
Just as he was feeling smug, the housekeeper ran over quickly and said anxiously, "Master, Master, King Dingbei has brought people to surround the Sun Mansion."
