"Forget it! Death was death no matter what! Die early and come back to life!" Lan Yue gritted her teeth and crawled out from under the table. She looked at the so-called Second Master righteously.
Xie Yunchen acted as if he did not see the woman who had crawled out from under the table. He picked up the teacup at the side and started drinking.
"Replying to Second Master's words, my family's Young Lady loves to play and can't stay in the residence for even a moment. She knew that she was going to marry you tomorrow but she couldn't stay idle and slipped out when no one in the residence was paying attention.
After the Prime Minister found out, he was worried that something had happened to the Young Miss, so he sent me to follow the Young Miss all the way. The reason why I disturbed the Second Master was to find the Young Miss! I wonder if Second Master saw my Young Lady passing by?”
At this moment, the steward was very guilty. He thought about it and decided that he would not tell the truth to the Eldest Prince until the last moment. Otherwise, once the Eldest Prince was angry, the entire Prime Minister's Residence would be implicated!
" Yes…" Lan Yue was about to call for the butler outside the door when the man in red standing beside her reached out and pressed his mute acupoint.
"Don't move, or you won't be able to move!”The red-clothed man looked at them as he leaned out and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Lan Yue took a step back and glared at the man in red. She felt very angry.
The man in red smiled nonchalantly and turned around to ignore Lan Yue. This show had just begun, how could he let it end so easily?
"I'm afraid your Young Miss didn't come out for fun!”Xie Yunchen looked at the woman who was pouting in anger after her mute acupuncture point was struck. The smile on his face continued to deepen as he said,"In my opinion, your Young Lady must have wanted to escape from the marriage, that's why she slipped out of the residence!”
When the butler standing outside heard Xie Yunchen's words, he could not help but break out in cold sweat." Second Master, what are you saying? It's my lady's fortune to be able to marry you. How could she run away from the marriage…"
Before the butler could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a crisp sound. Lan Yue placed one hand on her waist and looked provocatively at the handsome man with a sickly face. At her feet, there were broken pieces of the vase scattered all over the ground.
" Second Master..." The butler outside the door was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses and probed.
"There are plenty of vases here. If you don't think you've smashed enough, there are more!”The smile on Xie Yunchen's face did not fade at all. He used his eyes to signal to the unconvinced Lan Yue.
Lan Yue turned her head with an unhappy expression. He asked her to smash it, but she refused!
"Ha, you have a big temper! In a while, you can directly return to the residence with this king! It would also save him the trouble of running away from his own residence!”After Xie Yunchen finished speaking, he put down the teacup in his hand and coughed lightly."Go back and tell your family's Prime Minister that your family's young miss ran away from the marriage and fled to this king. This king will first bring her back to the wang fu and later have him send someone to bring your family's young miss 'wedding robe over, lest she runs around randomly and causes some trouble that implicates the Prime Minister's residence!”
"As for tomorrow…it's not difficult for the Prime Minister's Residence to bring out a set of wedding robes that are exactly the same as yours. You just need to find a woman with a similar physique to your Young Lady to get into the bridal sedan!”
" Yes…Yes…I'll go back and report this to the Prime Minister…I'll thank Your Highness for your kindness…I'll take my leave…" The butler standing outside the door said in a trembling voice.
He had never thought that his young miss would so coincidentally barge into the Eldest Prince's residence. If he was not careful now, the entire Prime Minister's residence would be implicated. This matter could not be careless at all. He had to report it to the Prime Minister as soon as possible!
When Lan Yue saw that the man in front of her wanted to bring her back to her residence, she knew that something was wrong. She secretly looked at the two people in the room and saw that they were not on guard at all. She quickly rushed out of the door...
She didn't want to go to this sickly man's residence. She might have a way to escape when she returned home. If she entered the Eldest Prince's residence, wouldn't it be difficult for her to escape even if she had wings?
"You have to think carefully. If you leave this room at this moment, the hundred people in the Prime Minister's residence will definitely not live past tomorrow noon!”Xie Yunchen seemed to have predicted Lan Yue's actions as he sat there motionlessly and spoke.
He had thought that the daughter of the Prime Minister's residence would be like her father, Lan Ao, who was an extremely meticulous person. He did not expect this woman to be so careless. This was good. At least the person beside him would not scheme against him! This was the kind of woman he wanted!
Lan Yue suddenly steadied her body and turned around to look at Xie Yunchen with a resentful expression. She opened her mouth but could not make a sound. Only then did she remember that her mute acupoint had been sealed by the red clothed man. She walked in front of the red clothed man unwillingly and gestured for him to unseal her acupoint.
The red-robed man ignored the woman standing in front of him. Instead, he found a private seat and sat down.
Lan Yue's face darkened. She wished she could hang the two of them in the room and beat them up to vent her anger, but she could not do that!
She could still escape before she barged into this room, but after she barged in, she couldn't escape no matter what.
Since the sickly prince had already seen her, it would be useless to find a woman who looked like her. If she really escaped now, she would harm the lives of everyone in the family...
She had thought that after she escaped, she would be able to fool everyone with her father's trick. However, at this moment, she could only accept her fate.
She looked around, wanting to find the Four Treasures of the Study to communicate with the two of them and get them to unseal her acupoints. The feeling of not being able to speak was really uncomfortable.
"There's no need to search. We'll leave now. When we reach this king's residence, this king will definitely personally undo Lan Qianjin's mute acupoint!”Xie Yunchen stood up after he finished speaking and walked out of the room with great effort. He looked as if he would fall to the ground if he was not careful. He was extremely weak. Coupled with his sickly face, he was undoubtedly a sickly person who would not live for long.
Lan Yue stood at the same spot as she looked at Xie Yunchen. A chill rose from the bottom of her heart. Was she really going to marry someone who would not live for long? At first, she did not feel that Xie Yun Chen was very weak when he sat there. At most, his complexion was not as healthy as ordinary people. However, it seemed that she had overestimated him.
Xie Yunchen had already walked to the door, but Lan Yue had yet to follow him. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing an extremely mocking expression."Why aren't you following me? Could it be that this king's current appearance makes you feel so afraid? "Or…" He paused."Are you thinking about how to escape? If you want to escape, this king will naturally not stop you, but it will be a pity for the hundreds of lives of the Prime Minister's Estate!”
He knew that the woman behind him would not escape. The weight in his hand was definitely heavy enough for this little woman in front of him!
Lan Yue reluctantly walked behind Xie Yunchen. She stretched out her hand and hesitated for a moment before biting her lips and writing on his back,"As long as Your Highness doesn't harm anyone in the Prime Minister's Residence, I won't escape!”
Although she was extremely unwilling in her heart, she had no choice. Perhaps it was really as her father had said. This was her life!
"Since you can't escape, then follow this king!”Xie Yunchen said softly.
On the main street, Xie Yun Chen sat in a sedan chair. A young woman and a rather enchanting man dressed in red followed on both sides of the sedan chair. Needless to say, the man dressed in red was undoubtedly Bai Lang, who was known in the martial world as Red Robed Poison Lang. This young woman was Lan Yue, whose mute acupoint had been struck.
Lan Yue gritted her teeth and looked at the palanquin that could accommodate ten people. She scolded Xie Yunchen for being stingy. Would she die from being squeezed in such a big palanquin? This fellow did not seem to be worried that she would run away at all. He actually boarded the sedan chair alone. She wanted to follow him but was stopped by the servant beside her.
She looked at the steadily advancing palanquin and felt very depressed. She stopped in her tracks and rushed to the front of the palanquin. She opened her arms and forcefully blocked the palanquin in front of her.
"Why did you stop?" Xie Yunchen sat in the sedan and asked indifferently.
Lan Yue revealed an extremely cunning smile and knelt on the ground. Then, she mimicked Mute and gestured in front of the palanquin. She even made squeaking sounds.
Although the weather was very hot in the middle of summer, this was the streets of the Imperial City after all. There was an endless stream of people coming and going. It did not take long for many people to be attracted to the streets.
"What's going on? "This woman looks young and beautiful, but she's actually a mute who can't speak. What a pity, what a pity…" The women surrounding her said.
" This woman must have suffered some injustice to do this in front of so many people. I wonder who's sitting in this sedan chair…" The woman at the side looked at Lan Yue, who was kneeling on the ground, with pity.
"You still don't know this? To be able to sit in such a palanquin with a red clothed youth beside him, it must be Second Master! "I wonder how this mute girl offended Second Master…" The man at the side could not help but interrupt.
Lan Yue fiercely kowtowed to the ground while her hand reached into her sleeve to find a short dagger. Fortunately, she always carried such a self-defense item with her all year round. Usually, she would not use it. Today, it came in handy to deal with the stingy person in the sedan chair. However, she would have to suffer a little.
Lan Yue took advantage of the group of people pointing at her and the people in the sedan chair to use the short dagger to cut a long wound on her arm. Then, she took out some white powder from the other sleeve.
This white powder was usually used by her to scare her father. Once this thing was applied to her skin, it would cause her to have a high fever. Usually, when her father was busy with court affairs and had no time to take care of her, she used this trick to make her father care about her. Now, she used this trick here!
At this moment, she didn't want the sickly wangye sitting in the sedan chair to pity her, but to make this scene more real!
This powder had another use, which was that it would cause some red rashes when it came into contact with wounds. She had never used this trick normally because once the rashes were triggered, they would spread all over the body and it was really ugly.
