The Capital Rhapsody 39: The Unfortunate Someone

  Unlucky person

  "Ah...A Yao, what did I just see?"

  After a long time, a stuttering voice echoed again in the dark forest. Three figures walked out of the forest, and Feng Zhiyao's image was shattered once more, staring blankly at the poor devil who lay unconscious on the ground.

  Mo Xiuyao's expression was calm as he looked at everything in front of him, saying lightly: "It's just like what you saw a moment ago."

  "This young master stayed up all night to accompany you, just in case Miss Ye San got into trouble! Now it seems that the ones who will get into trouble are others?" If he hadn't barely remembered his own image, Feng Zhiyao almost wanted to scream like a woman. What did he see? After receiving news that someone was going to harm Ye Li, he rushed over in the middle of the night from the beauty's bed, only to see Ye Li knock down Mo Jingli with a move even he couldn't see clearly. Mo Jingli may be stupid, but at least he is considered one of the young talents in the capital? Walking up to Mo Xiuyao's side, imitating Ye Li's mannerisms and circling around him once, Feng Zhiyao asked boredly while propping his chin: "What should we do now?"

  "Throw it into the water tank on the other side." Mo Xiuyao said with a straight face.

  "That's Hansheng, he will die." Feng Zhiyao didn't have any sincere advice.

  "The clothes have also been removed." Mu Xiuyao said calmly.

  "I'm afraid it's not possible, your future queen has a remarkable talent for tying people up." Feng Zhiyao crouched on the ground studying the knots on Mo Jingli's body. "A Yao, don't provoke Ye San Miss again in the future. Women are too scary." After thinking for a long time, Feng Zhiyao still couldn't figure out how to get himself untied if he were tied up with such a knot without anyone's help. "However, this technique is worth learning from."

  "Ah Jin."

  "Yes, Your Highness." The young man standing behind Mo Xiuyao, pushing the wheelchair, responded and moved forward to grab the person on the ground and headed deep into the woods. Before long, a splashing sound was heard. Apparently, someone had been thrown into the water. Feng Zhiyao couldn't help but jump up, "A Yao, you'll spoil the child. What if Mo Jingli drowns?" In the capital city, the death of a prince, who was also the emperor's younger brother, was no small matter. Mo Xiuyao calmly looked at his hand on the armrest and said indifferently, "Ah Yan has always known what to do."

  What's the point? Does Ah Jin have that kind of thing in his brain? Feng Zhiyao kicked her foot and ran over to take a look, instantly speechless.

  Mo Jingli was thrown into the water by someone, with his upper body still exposed above the water surface and leaning against the shore. Most importantly, the rope that bound him had clearly been lengthened by a large section, and one end of this section was now tied to a tree at the edge of the water pool. It could be ensured that Mo Jingli would not be taken to the middle of the water pool by any accident. Indeed very thoughtful.

  "Alright. I'll send Wang Ye back home, you stay here and keep watch. When it starts to get light, wake up the person who brought him. Don't really drown someone to death."

  A Heng furrowed his sword-like eyebrows, hesitated for a moment and then nodded. Feng Zhiyao glanced at Mo Jingli with a hint of sympathy before shaking her fan in satisfaction and heading in the direction where Mo Xiuyao was.

  "Ayao, I'm getting curious about that future queen of yours." Feng Zhiyao wandered back into the forest, while Mo Xiuyao remained seated under the shade of a tree, his expression not looking too great in the dim light of night, lost in thought.

  Mo Xiuyao raised his head and said calmly: "It's time to go back."

  Feng Zhiyao looked at Mo Xiuyao with curiosity, "So simple and you're letting him off?" Don't be fooled by Mo Xiuyao's refined demeanor over the years. Feng Zhiyao knew his true nature all too well - Mo Xiuyao was never a benevolent person. A cold glint flashed in Mo Xiuyao's warm eyes, "Tomorrow is Jing Lei's big wedding day, if something were to happen to the groom, it would be quite disappointing." Feng Zhiyao wanted to sigh, "I thought you didn't want Mo Jing Lei and Ye family to have any relations. Don't forget, if he marries Ye Ying, then you and him will be...?" Brothers-in-law? What an unpleasant relationship! Mo Xiuyao let out a light hum, exerted some force with his hands, and the wheelchair turned around, heading towards the forest. Feng Zhiyao raised an eyebrow, shrugged, and followed after him. Who knows what fun things would happen at tomorrow's wedding ceremony? Best to grab a good spot early and enjoy the show.

  "What's going on with Miss Sanjiao?"

  "Seize him and send one of his hands and one of his legs to Mo Jingli as a wedding gift."

  Although the city gate had already closed, Ye Li still managed to return to the Shangshu Mansion before dawn. As soon as she entered her room, Qingfeng and Qingyu came forward to greet her. The anxiety on their faces turned into relief. Qingyu calmly poured tea for Ye Li, seemingly unaffected by the fact that her usually elegant mistress had just climbed in through the window. Qingfeng patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief, "Miss, you're finally back! I was worried to death!" Ye Li smiled lightly, "With someone following me, what's there to worry about? Right, Qingluan?"

  A figure floated down outside the window, it was Qing Luan who had come with Qing Yu from the Xu family. Qing Luan smiled and said: "Miss is really amazing, I followed all the way and no one discovered me, but unexpectedly couldn't deceive Miss." Ye Li smiled and said: "Actually, I didn't discover you either, but on the way, I seemed to smell a faint and very familiar fragrance. The person who caught me... had a strong scent on their body, so they didn't notice it." Qing Luan hung her head in embarrassment, secretly deciding that from now on she would never use any incense again. In fact, the incense she used was already very light, ordinary people wouldn't notice it at all. But who let Ye Li's senses be much more sensitive than ordinary people?

  "What fun things happened in the forest after I left?" Ye Li sat down and asked while drinking the freshly brewed tea.

  Qing Luan also imitated Ye Li's movements and came in from the window, smiling: "That one... was thrown into a deep pond in the woods."

  "Which king?"

  "Miss is wise." Qing Luan smiled with a good mood, thinking of the embarrassing appearance of someone being tied to a tree and thrown into a pool in the dark. Qing Luan felt that tonight's worry was not in vain. I believe the young master will also like this news very much. "The slave also saw a person following behind King Ding, seemingly having a good relationship."

  Ye Li raised an eyebrow and looked at Qing Luan, who also didn't beat around the bush and said: "He is the famous Feng San Gongzi of the capital." Ye Li hadn't expected that Feng Zhiyao and Mo Xiu Yao were related, which explained why Feng Zhiyao had been so curious about him during the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

  "So the King of Ding also went to rescue the young lady? Didn't the young lady see the King of Ding?" Qingfeng asked curiously, blinking her eyes.

  Ye Li shook her head, knowing that there were others in the woods at the time. She could also vaguely guess who they might be, but she didn't intend to meet them, so she ignored it. Since Mo Xiuyao hadn't stopped Qing Luan, he must have understood her meaning too. It's indeed not necessary to waste words when dealing with intelligent people, that's good.

  He casually tossed a jade pendant to Qing Luan and said: "Give it to Big Brother and ask him if he can find out who the owner of this jade pendant is."

  The Azure Luan grasped in his hand, smiled with a hint of schadenfreude and said: "That slave is lucky to have escaped quickly. The Emperor has already promised one of his hands and one of his legs as a gift to King Li. If he hadn't run fast, I'm afraid he would be out of luck tonight."

  His lightness is not bad, if it's possible to keep him. Maybe he can help us with something. If it's too late, then there's no way, she doesn't think a person who would sneak into the mansion at midnight and abduct an innocent woman could be a good person. However, that person knew he was awake but still took her to hand over to Mo Jingli, and didn't even give Mo Jingli any warning. It seems like he's quite an interesting person, of course it's also possible that Mo Jingli unintentionally offended him.

  Qing Yu stood on one side, looking at this and that, with a somewhat strange expression, and asked: "Can tomorrow's wedding be held as scheduled?"

  The blue bird waved her hand indifferently and said, "It should be fine. I heard Feng Zhiyao instruct the guards of Ding Wang to let the people of Li Wang go rescue their master at dawn." Qing Yu nodded and said, "In that case, miss, you'd better rest early while there's still time. If your complexion isn't good tomorrow, it will invite gossip."

  Qingfeng also nodded in agreement, she didn't want others to seize the opportunity to tarnish Miss's reputation again.

  “……”

  Hasn't anyone considered that weddings are also exhausting? What if the groom faints tomorrow... Ye Li thought irresponsibly, allowing a few maids to change her clothes and push her onto the bed to sleep.

  Did I spoil it? Tomorrow... the most unfortunate wedding in history~
