Chapter 556: How could it be you who was rescued?
At this time, the people from the Duke's Mansion also received the news and rushed over. Seeing that the two were fine, they finally felt relieved. Yao Qingnian had been cast into some kind of evil spell by Master Kong Chen and had not recovered until now. Seeing that they were all her own people, she finally felt relieved and fainted from exhaustion. Seeing this, the old Duke Chen quickly had someone take Yao Qingnian back to the Duke's Mansion. Xuanfeng didn't care and took Zi Yexiu away as well.
This is King Rui's side.
The emperor sent Han Junze to treat him, and then issued a notice to capture Shen Youran and Master Kongchen at all costs.
After Han Junze came to see him, he was sure that King Rui had been under a lover's spell. Only by finding the person who cast the spell and destroying his original body could the spell be broken.
After Shen Youran was rescued, she was still a little at a loss. She didn't expect that someone would come to rescue her. She was taken to a remote village outside the city.
"Who are you! Why did you save me?" Shen Youran asked the man in black with his back to her.
The man in black turned around and took off his mask: "Ms. Youran, it's me."
"Aunt Zhong, why is it you? Did my father ask you to save me?" Shen Youran was a little surprised to see that it was Shen Wenting's new concubine. The two had only met a few times and were not familiar with each other. Why did she come to save her? The most likely possibility was that her father asked her to come and save her. Thinking of what Yao Qingnian said, that she was Shen Wenting's biological daughter, and that there were so many of their people planted in the Prince Rui's Mansion, and that as soon as something happened to her, someone would send a message to Shen Wenting, so she was sure that it was Shen Wenting's people who came to save her, and she didn't think about it any more.
"Well, the master received the news and asked me to come and save you." Aunt Zhong nodded, with a complicated expression on her face.
"What should I do in the current situation! The matter has been exposed. Can I still go back to Prince Rui's Mansion?" Shen Youran was a little annoyed and desperate. She originally just wanted to deal with Yao Qingnian, but she didn't expect that the matter would become so serious that even the emperor and the empress dowager were alarmed. The fact that she and Prince Rui imprisoned Nan Qing'er would definitely not be concealed, and the matter of controlling Prince Rui would soon be discovered. She would definitely not be able to go back.
"Miss Youran, don't panic. Rest well in this villa. People in the capital are looking for you everywhere. You can't go back." Aunt Zhong comforted her.
"How can I not panic! It's over, everything is over, they won't let me go!" Shen Youran said irritably.
"Don't worry, young lady. I have my own way to help you get out of this predicament and return to the capital to live again."
"You have a solution? What solution?"
"Change your identity and return to live in the capital." Aunt Zhong looked at her with pity on her face.
Not long ago, the spy of Shen Mansion received the news and came back to report to Shen Wenting that something happened in Prince Rui's Mansion. The Emperor's Jinyiwei surrounded Prince Rui's Mansion, saying that Concubine Shen was plotting to murder the prince and princess, and wanted to arrest her. Shen Wenting thought to himself that this was not good, and the first thing he thought of was to distance himself from the matter and save himself. He asked someone to pass a message, asking all the people in Prince Rui's Mansion to withdraw and not let anyone find any clues.
Before, Shen Youran came to him and said that she was the one who had the final say in Prince Rui's Mansion now, and asked him to send some people to help her so that she could take the position of the mistress of Prince Rui's Mansion. Seeing that Prince Rui only had eyes for Youran, Shen Wenting praised Youran as a capable person. It seemed that his future depended on her, so he followed Shen Youran's arrangement and assisted her in replacing some people in Prince Rui's Mansion with her own people. He turned a blind eye to their imprisonment of the princess. Unexpectedly, the matter was exposed so soon, and he must not be implicated.
At this critical juncture, how could Shen Wenting risk ruining his future for the sake of a daughter, so he ordered that no one in the mansion could interfere in this matter.
"How to change my identity?!" Shen Youran was puzzled.
"I have my own way." Aunt Zhong did not say it explicitly, but asked her to have a good rest on the farm for a few days first. Shen Youran had no choice but to follow her instructions.
More manpower was dispatched from the capital, and they finally found Master Kongchen's whereabouts in a remote courtyard and successfully destroyed the evil magic he had cast. Unfortunately, Master Kongchen escaped again. No one knew that the person who cast the evil magic was Master Kongchen, and they thought he was a quack from some unknown place, so he ran back to Xiangguo Temple and was not discovered.
Under Han Junze's treatment, Prince Rui finally regained consciousness. He woke up and looked at Nan Qing'er sitting beside the bed, feeling a little confused.
"Qing'er, what's wrong with me?" He just felt a little headache and an empty heart, as if he had lost something.
"Prince, are you awake?!" Nan Qing'er looked at him and burst into tears with excitement.
"Hmm." He recalled what happened during this period and felt a little confused.
"Your Highness, you have been bewitched by a spell. It was done by Concubine Shen and outsiders. Now the spell has been lifted. How do you feel?"
"Much better. It turned out that she was the one who did it. I was wondering why I would obey her orders and not be controlled by her."
Prince Rui thought about what had happened during this period and finally understood. He clearly remembered that before, because of Shen Youran's miscarriage, they took the matter to the government. In the end, it was found that she directed and acted in the incident and had an affair with a man outside the Pei residence. Maybe he felt humiliated and in order not to make a big deal out of it, he took her back to the yard and locked her up, intending to let her fend for herself.
However, the next day, he felt inexplicably distressed, and his mind was full of Shen Youran. Driven by strong desire, he could only go find Shen Youran, and then forget everything she had done. When he was away for more than an hour, there was a voice deep in his heart calling him, asking him to return to Shen Youran, only then would he feel at ease, and even became more and more out of control. As long as Shen Youran said something, he would do it, otherwise he would feel extremely uncomfortable. From then on, he had no mind to care about other things.
"I'm glad you're okay, Your Majesty. Have a good rest." Nan Qing'er heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he had returned to his normal state.
"Qing'er, I'm sorry for making you suffer during this period of time." Prince Rui reached out to touch Nan Qing'er's thin face. She had suffered these days.
"As long as the prince is fine, I will be relieved. I can finally tell my aunt. I will go get you some medicine." Nan Qing'er dodged his hand and changed the subject. She still had some grudges in her heart. Although she knew that the prince of Rui became like this because of the evil spell, she could not forget what happened recently. The scene a few days ago was still vivid in her mind...
