Chapter 299 Where is the Princess?
He Xiang secretly rejoiced. She had been worried that she would not be able to find the right time to complete the task, but she did not expect that she could get the two people out of danger so smoothly.
Just as she was thinking, she heard Wang Qi let out a long sigh.
However, He Yuehuan on the side suddenly said, "Are you someone sent by His Majesty?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere instantly became tense.
He Xiang was slightly startled, but did not answer. She just led them forward silently.
Soon, the group arrived at a deserted courtyard.
He Xiang walked towards the dry well in the middle of the yard without hesitation.
Wang Qi and He Yuehuan were confused, but still followed closely.
When they reached the well, He Xiang gently pushed open the cover and motioned for them to go down.
It turns out that this seemingly ordinary dry well actually hides a secret passage leading to the outside world.
After entering the secret passage, the light was dim, the air was humid and filled with a musty smell.
The crowd groped their way forward cautiously. After walking for about half an hour, they finally saw a ray of light ahead.
The exit is located below the rice jar in a small courtyard in the south of the city.
The moment I stepped out of the secret passage, the view in front of me suddenly became clear.
The whole yard was illuminated by bright lights as if it were daytime. He Yuehuan and Wang Qi were so frightened that they trembled all over, fearing that Xuan Yemin had found them.
"What's going on?" Wang Qi screamed in astonishment, his voice filled with fear and anxiety, "What the hell have we run to?"
Her heart beat rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
He Xiang on the side had not yet opened her mouth to respond when she heard a slight noise coming from the yard, and then the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open.
"Brother?" He Yuehuan's eyes widened and she screamed in disbelief, "You... why are you here?"
Standing at the door was He Yuehuan's brother, He Ji.
This man is a captain of the police in the Tongzhou government office. He is usually very majestic and enforces the law strictly.
However, at this moment, facing his sister, He Ji did not answer immediately.
His eyes went straight to He Xiang, and he bowed deeply to her without hesitation.
He said sincerely, "Thank you for saving my sister's life. I will remember this kindness and repay you in the future."
He Xiang nodded slightly to show that she accepted his thanks, and then solemnly instructed: "Tonight's action plan remains the same. We will set off immediately when the time comes. In addition,"
She pointed at Yuehua who was lying unconscious on the ground and continued, "Keep this person's affairs secret for now and place him here properly. Make sure to keep him under strict guard and don't let him be negligent in the slightest."
He Ji quickly agreed: "Yes, my lady, please rest assured."
Every word he said contained deep respect for He Xiang. This unprecedented attitude made He Yuehuan have countless questions in her mind.
You know, in her memory, her brother, who had always been arrogant and unruly and never bowed to others easily, would actually show such humility and respect to a woman. It was really incredible.
After He Xiang had arranged everything, she turned around without hesitation and slowly left with light but firm steps.
Next, the details of handling specific matters were handed over to He Ji to explain them to He Yuehuan and Wang Qi one by one.
At this moment, when He Xiang just stepped out of the door, Wang Qi's father, Wang Tao, happened to walk into the room from outside...
Wang Tao's face also showed an extremely respectful expression, as if the person standing in front of him was not an ordinary person but a high and mighty god.
Such abnormal behavior left Wang Qi and He Yuehuan dumbfounded and completely at a loss.
"Dad?" After He Xiang left, Wang Qi was shocked and asked in disbelief, "Why are you here?"
Then, Wang Tao and He Ji began to patiently explain to them the reason for their visit.
After hearing the whole story, Wang Qi frowned and couldn't help but mutter, "So, Your Majesty wants us to burn down our own homes?"
Faced with the woman's questions, Wang Tao fell silent.
In fact, he really couldn't find the right words to defend His Majesty, because everything that happened before his eyes was an indisputable fact, although this was also to help them.
It was still He Ji who spoke first: "Under the current situation, if we still can't get out smoothly, we will be forced to follow Prince Yu in rebellion."
"Originally, my uncle and I still had many concerns in our hearts, but now that you two have returned safely, we can now follow His Majesty's will without any worries."
Seeing that the agreed time was approaching, Wang Tao repeatedly reminded He Yuehuan and Wang Qi to wait here patiently.
Afterwards, he and He Ji led their trusted subordinates brought from the army and returned to their own residence in a menacing manner.
After they swept away all their property, they mercilessly set fire to the entire mansion, engulfing it in flames.
Fortunately, the two families were not very large, and there were only about twenty maids, waiters and other servants in the house.
Moreover, long before planning today's events, they had already found various reasons to dismiss several loyal servants.
Therefore, the backgrounds of the remaining fifteen or sixteen people have already been clearly understood, and almost all of them are spies planted by Prince Yu with great effort.
Therefore, Wang Tao and He Ji would naturally not show any mercy when they took action.
Not only that, He Ji also specially found enough corpses to make them look real.
Finally, they decided to go all out and burned their house down completely in a raging fire, leaving nothing behind.
The next morning, the sun had just risen, and the soft sunlight shone through the window onto Prince Yu's face.
However, Prince Yu was still immersed in his sleep at this time, until a breeze blew and gently brushed the curtains, he slowly opened his eyes and gradually regained consciousness.
At first, Prince Yu was still a little confused.
But as his vision gradually became clearer, he finally noticed the surrounding environment and furnishings.
When he finally saw the familiar interior layout and the empty bed, his heart sank and he instantly understood what had happened.
"Someone come!" Prince Yu's angry roar exploded in the room like thunder.
The sudden roar frightened the servants. They did not dare to delay at all and rushed into the room, standing in a row with their heads down, waiting for their master's orders.
Prince Yu opened his eyes wide, scanned the surroundings with a sharp gaze, and then asked in a stern voice: "Where is the princess?"
His voice was full of majesty and anger, which made people tremble.
