Chapter 162 Rescue
Chapter 162 Rescue
Emperor Huaisheng was in high spirits when he saw Zhu Yanxiao today. After asking about the situation in the Duke's Mansion, the uncle and nephew reminisced about the past and he even invited Zhu Yanxiao to have dinner in the palace.
Zhu Yanxiao, who had been in the palace for a long time before being released by Emperor Huaisheng, saw fireworks from the dark guards far outside the imperial city as soon as he left the Meridian Gate. The key point was that the color of the fireworks was red.
Red: The situation is extremely urgent!
Zhu Yanxiao's heart sank. He walked out of the Meridian Gate, climbed onto a building and looked into the distance. The direction of the signal seemed to be Panlou Street. Today, Shen Shenshen went to Jixian Teahouse on Panlou Street.
Something happened to Shen Shen.
Zhu Yanxiao immediately had a bad feeling.
He gestured to Xingyun who was not far away, asking him to send a few Feidaowei to Jixian Teahouse to meet up with Hong and Huang first, and he would follow soon.
Xingyun made a few strange noises, and then several people hiding in the dark jumped up and flew towards Jixian Teahouse at a rapid speed.
Zhu Yanxiao rushed back to the palace in a few leaps. Liu Shui had already led the prince's fast horse to the gate of the palace. Zhu Yanxiao jumped directly onto the horse's back and galloped away.
Xingyun and Liushui also mounted their horses and followed the prince towards Panlou Street.
It was already dark. In an elegant pavilion on the third floor of Jixian Teahouse, a candle was lit on the Eight Immortals Table. The flickering candle flame emitted a dim light. On the bed in the room, a male figure was swaying in the candlelight.
Zhu Chutang kissed the woman under him very attentively.
Deep down in his heart, he was somewhat afraid of his brother, and he didn't know if his brother would kill him if he ruined Shen Shen's innocence. So he kept hesitating and didn't dare to go any further.
Because of the feeling of suffocation, Shen Shenshen, who was instinctively protecting herself, was somewhat awakened by the kiss. She saw Zhu Yanxiao's face in a trance, but the breath was a little wrong, and she murmured.
"Ziyuan, is that you?"
Zhu Chutang was stunned, and suddenly felt evil. He thought about his brother's voice and habits, and imitated Zhu Yanxiao's voice.
"God, God, it's this prince."
Shen Shen showed a sweet smile, stretched out his arms and hooked them around Zhu Yanxiao's neck as usual, calling out seductively: "Ziyuan, Ziyuan." Her lips actively covered his, responding to his kiss.
Zhu Chutang enjoyed Shen Shenshen's love and could no longer bear his own desires.
This was Shen Shenshen's own will and had nothing to do with him.
Shen Shenshen's neck ached, her head was dizzy and she closed her eyes. She was not conscious at all, but Zhu Yanxiao's caress through her dress made her body tremble slightly. She couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "Ziyuan."
As soon as he finished speaking, his head was spinning due to the arousal and he passed out.
The man pretending to be Prince Zhu had an extremely excited expression on his beautiful face. He quickly took off Shen Shenshen's clothes with his hands while kissing her exposed white skin. Zhu Chutang kissed her hard, as if he wanted to leave his own mark on the woman's white jade skin.
Just as the man was undressing, the door was kicked open with a bang. Zhu Chutang was startled, stopped what he was doing, stood up, and turned his head to look.
It was a masked man in black.
He actually found this place.
The man in black looked at his half-naked upper body and his actions, and said with some disdain: "Men, they are all the same."
"You are a woman?" Zhu Chutang asked in surprise.
The masked man in black realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and decided not to continue the fight and end it quickly.
"Give me the woman and I'll let you go."
After confirming that the person in black was a woman, Zhu Chutang was no longer afraid. He stood up, not caring that most of his shirt had been taken off, and said nonchalantly: "My lady, I will give her to you when I am done. Please step aside."
"It is ungentlemanly to take away a woman's innocence. You are disgusting, young master."
"I won't be a hypocritical gentleman. Or... if you want to have some fun, that's not impossible."
"You scoundrel, I'm going to chop you into pieces." After saying that, she reached out to grab Zhu Chutang.
Zhu Chutang had been on guard against the woman in black. He was just talking to buy time. He had already drawn out his dagger and now pressed it against Shen Shenshen's neck on the bed, saying, "If she comes one step closer, she'll die."
The masked woman indeed stopped and stared at him with flickering eyes.
"If she dies, it will be hard for you to explain to your master."
"Humph, you can't bear to kill her."
"Whether you are willing to give it up or not... depends on whether the girl threatens my life."
The two of them remained silent in the room.
Zhu Chutang broke the silence and said, "Get out. Otherwise, I don't mind having someone take the blame before I die." The dagger in his hand moved a little towards the flesh of the neck, and suddenly the snow-white skin turned deep red. If it was an inch closer, it would cut the skin.
The masked woman was very hesitant, not knowing whether she should leave the room.
Seeing that he could not threaten her, Zhu Chutang became a little impatient. Just as he was about to pierce the skin on Shen Shenshen's neck with the dagger in his hand, he saw the masked woman in black suddenly fall to the ground.
Before Zhu Chutang could see clearly who was standing behind the woman, he felt a pain at the back of his head. The dagger in his hand fell off the bed, and he fell headfirst to the ground.
It was Liushui who attacked. He quietly jumped into the room from the window and slapped Zhu Chutang on the neck with one palm, and knocked him away from the bed with another palm. Zhu Chutang was not a martial artist, so he had no resistance to Liushui's palm power. However, Xingyun quietly sneaked into the room from the door and slashed at the unsuspecting masked man in black.
Xingyun and Liushui didn't dare to look at the bed the whole time. They quickly carried the masked woman and the disheveled Zhu Chutang out of the room.
While Zhu Yanxiao's guards were dealing with the two men, he walked into the room with a gloomy face and looked at the bed.
Shen Shenshen was lying there unconscious. When he saw the woman's outer shirt scattered on one side, fortunately she was still wearing a complete undershirt, but there was a deep red mark on her neck caused by a dagger, and there were deep and shallow kiss marks around her exposed neck and collarbone.
Zhu Yanxiao could not hide his rage. He couldn't bear to touch the woman he cherished so much, but she was coveted and hurt by others like this.
While personally tidying up Shen Shenshen's clothes, he said coldly: "Kill the masked woman."
"Yes."
"Zhu Chutang...kill them all together."
"Sir, 'Hong Huang' reported that it was the Sixth Young Master who saved Second Miss Shen from the woman in black. Otherwise, Second Miss Shen would have disappeared by now."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yanxiao tapped the bed lightly with his right index finger, as if he was thinking.
"First release the masked woman, follow her closely and see where she goes. If you find out who is behind her, kill her. If you lose her, or fail to kill her, commit suicide and you don't have to return to the palace."
"Yes. This Zhu Liugong..."
"Since you saved Shenshen's life, let him live. Give him medicine so that he can never walk again. Don't trace this matter back to me, otherwise, I will have a hard time explaining to my father."
"Yes. I understand."
"Go down. Liushui, ask Shen Shenshen's maid to go back to the mansion and wait for the young lady at the door."
"Yes." Liu Shui has become accustomed to finding stupid girls.
Xingyun glanced at him sympathetically and dared not say anything.
After the guards left, Zhu Yanxiao looked at the woman in his arms, feeling distressed and a little angry at the same time.
Any normal man would have bad thoughts when seeing Shen Shenshen with this face, and accidents would happen as long as the man is not by his side.
But she never listened to herself.
Sighing, he pondered for a long time, and finally jumped out of the window holding the still unconscious woman, and rode a fast horse towards the Marquis Anbo's Mansion.
The horse's back was bumpy, and Shen Shenshen opened her eyes in a daze, and found herself riding on a horse, leaning on a man's arms. In the moonlight, she looked up and saw her beloved and smelled a familiar scent.
She reached out and hugged the man's waist tightly, leaning sweetly on his chest, smelling the familiar scent without saying a word, letting the evening breeze blow her hair.
Zhu Yanxiao felt the woman in his arms hugging him tightly, and knew that she had woken up, so he quickened his pace and rushed to the Marquis' Mansion.
When they arrived at the gate of Marquis Anbo's Mansion, Lu Hen was already waiting there.
Although Shen Shenshen had no idea what had happened, the pain in the back of her neck, the inexplicable coma and Zhu Yanxiao's unprecedented ugly expression made her keenly aware that something must have happened that she didn't know about, and that something was very bad.
"Ziyuan, are you coming to the yard?" She blinked, wanting to comfort Zhu Yanxiao.
"I have something important to do today. I will come to see the gods tomorrow night." The voice was still gentle.
"Okay. Remember to come early." She tried to look relaxed.
"Well. I'll tell Shenshen about today's events tomorrow."
"Okay. Ziyuan, go to bed early." With curved eyebrows, she waved to Zhu Yanxiao and entered the mansion with Luhen. As soon as she entered the mansion, Shen Shenshen's expression became gloomy.
Who is targeting her again?
