Ji Ling Xue's head was suddenly filled with Ru Ge's words: "Take a deep breath, hold it, push it down past the navel, it can break seals." Ji Ling Xue closed her eyes, saying this to herself.
Before she had only followed the third prince, firstly because she was worried for Ru Ge's safety, secondly her and Mo Xiang couldn't escape the third prince's grip, now they had gone out of the city gate, Ru Ge seemed to be safe, walking a bit further away, she could call out "help" from Xiao Yi Chen.
The next moment, Ji Ling Xue's body felt light, the seal which was holding her back had already been broken, her eyes moved around, she couldn't turn around and run back, with Mo Xiang she couldn't run faster than the third prince.
Calling for help, she was afraid her mouth would be covered with just a word. She tried to loudly call out: "Delivering delicious food roasted over the fire of a stove for you, drenched in sweat, smoky roast with no complaints, watch me fully display my capabilities refined a hundred times and under a thousand strikes, sharp knifes, shadows of flames, deliciously outstanding food fresh out the oven, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar blended, sour, sweet, bitter and spicy hot the tastes of life, lightly fried, boiled, deep fried I can do all kind..."
Ji Ling Xue's mouth was covered by a pair of rough hands, the third prince glared at her, "Shut up!" His voice contained an immense threat.
It wasn't easy for them to leave the city, if this woman ruins this, he didn't mind killing her right now.
Ji Ling Xue felt an ice-cold at her waist, a cold sweat rolled down her forehead.
Mo Xiang opened her mouth, silently uttering, "Princess, are you alright?"
Ji Ling Xue sniffed the scent from the third prince's hand, her body became limp, he really was a despicable person.
The third prince sneered: "Princess, who told you to be so disobedient, now you can take a nap."
Ji Ling Xue struggled to keep her eyes opened, "You...you.." You scoundrel.
Xiao Yi Chen in the distant gateway was stunned, turning he looked in Ji Ling Xue's direction, the singing voice had already come to a spontaneous end, only the backs of several peasant women could be seen in the distance.
Xiao Yi Chen asked the general by himself, "Those villagers holding hoes are going on the pass for what reason?"
The general said: "There's a mountain ahead where ore has been found, the rich merchants here have brought it, now they're hiring peasants to mine the ore, those commoners don't usually have much income, so they've gone to the mines to work."
Xiao Yi Chen nodded, suddenly something came to mind, waving his hand, a bodyguard came forward with several horses, mounting the horse he chased after those peasants.
Xiao Yi Chen's horse overtook the third prince and others, smiling he asked: "Are you going to the mountains to mine?"
The third prince's back tensed, he instinctively tensed, thinking he was well disguised, he relaxed and nodded.
Xiao Yi Chen seemed to be in the mood to chat, looking at each person he asked again: "How much money can you make from a day of mining?"
Walking to the side of Ji Ling Xue a peasant woman said: "If we come across gold we get one silver, if we don't find anything, we get a string of one hundred coins."
Xiao Yi Chen gave an oh, playing with the reins in his hands, "I also just happen to need to go there, let's go together."
The third prince rolled his eyes, feeling like he had been polluted by a bedbug, unable to get rid of it, it was that Ji Ling Xue's fault causing trouble, why did she suddenly start singing.
Xiao Yi Chen followed the third prince's line of sight raising his head to the sky: "The weather is very nice today." He had just spoken when several clouds covered up the sunshine, suddenly it became a cloudy day.
Ji Ling Xue cried out in her heart: Xiao Yi Chen, look at me, can you see I'm Ji Ling Xue.
From start to finish Xiao Yi Chen hadn't glanced at her at all, suddenly he asked that peasant woman: "You were singing just now, it was so pleasant, can you sing again?"
The peasant woman's forehead was filled with black lines, under a lot of pressure: "Just now I felt an urge, my throat is now husky, I can't sing again."
Xiao Yi Chen laughed, not saying anymore, he continued on his way following behind the third prince and hsi group, the third prince couldn't do anything he wanted, fiercely staring at Ji Ling Xue in warning, the third prince had to change his original plans and headed for the mountains.
The mine found at the mountain pass, the story began a month ago, a month ago there was a sudden continuous downpour of torrential rain, for an entire three days, after the sky cleared up an elderly woman from the village went up the mountain to pick wild herbs, suddenly a loud sound came from the mountain top, half the mountain collapsed into itself.
The elderly woman was extremely frightened, after she returned her she was unwell for some time, in a daze she said there was gold in the mountain, the elderly woman's son didn't believe her, and thought his elderly mother had been startled in the mountain, until the elderly woman got better, she pulled her son quietly up the mountain, and they really did find some chunks of gold.
They were the poorest family in the village before, in a blink of an eye they brought new furniture, rebuilding the shabby old house, their clothing were also presentable rather than patched clothes.
Good news spread over a thousand miles, the entire population at the pass noticed the mother and son's changes, the village elderly woman's bachelor son had married a beautiful wife.
On the bridal night, the daughter-in-law asked the elderly woman's son, from his mouth she found out about the gold min at the pass. These words very soon reached the ears of the county lord, the county loud immediately appropriated the gold mine for himself.
Only the county lord was an official, he couldn't extract the gold himself, then a rich merchant came, reaching an agreement to split the mine in half with the county lord, that's when the mining began,.
Xiao Yi Chen hearing the villager recount the story his lips raised slightly, court strictly prohibited private mining, it was fine when he didn't know, now he did though, this mine and the county lord needed to be visited by him
Ji Ling Xue felt her eyes were about to turn blind from staring, they had just walked for five miles, the third prince said he was tired, he wanted to rest, then he raised her to sit on his lap, kissing and asking her if she was tired or hungry in front of Xiao Yi Chen.
Xiao Yi Chen sat on the horseback, picking up the water pouch hanging from his saddle he took a sip, afterwards he took two bodyguards for fresh air.
Ji Ling Xue felt she was about to throw up from the intimacy the third prince was suddenly showing, she couldn't cry for help. The third prince grinned and smiled, nearing Ji Ling Xue's ear he said breathily: "Your husband prince hasn't noticed you, are you very disappointed? Don't worry, he doesn't want you, this prince wants you, return to Dayan with this prince, this prince is the future emperor of Dayan, when that time comes I'll give you the position of imperial concubine, are you please."
Ji Ling Xue used her eyes to respond: "I'm dissatisfied, not satisfied at all, scoundrel, let me go!"
The third prince probably got addicted to harassing her, he held Ji Ling Xue laughing heartily.
After resting for a while, seeing Xiao Yi Chen didn't have the intention to leave first, he could only continue on their way to the mine.
On the other side, Ru Ge who finally had clothes to cover his naked body jumped on the spot twice, holding Chi Feng's hand he was extremely grateful.
Chi Feng extracted his hand out, looking at Ru Ge like he was looking at an idiot, "How were you hung up in a tree, and was stripped naked, how much do they hate you."
Thinking of his tragic experience, Ru Ge felt bitter, grinding his teeth he said: "He wore my clothes to change into me to find the princess, has your prince found the princess yet?"
Chi Feng blinked, no longer mocking Ru Ge: "Prince has gone to the pass, I don't know if he's found princess yet."
Having heard what was said Ru Ge's figure flickered, instantly disappearing from the spot
Chi Feng's lips twitched, this was the perks of knowing light martial arts, a scholar like him, could only walk slowly on his two feet.
Ru Ge's speed was very quick, not long later he caught up to Xiao Yi Chen, Xiao Yi Chen blinked and saw Ru Ge quite stunned, in the prince's residence Ru Ge was always in hiding, he had never seen his face, today seeing him, even though this man had dirt on his face, his brows straight eyes bright, out of the ordinary presence, he simply wasn't like a bodyguard, and he wasn't sure where Ji Ling Xue had found him.
Ru Ge asked: "Prince, have you not found princess yet?"
Xiao Yi Chen saw Ru Ge was so worried for Ji Ling Xue, an indescribable smear of anger arose, intuition told him he Ru Ge was not an ordinary person, his concern for Ji Ling Xue also went beyond master and servant.
However this was not the time to bother about this, there was something going on at the pass, he had come in haste, his men had not arrived, something might happen.
Xiao Yi Chen thought about it then said: "Where is Chi Feng and the others?"
Seeing Xiao Yi Chen change topic, not at all concerned for Ji Ling Xue's safety, Ru Ge frowned, not too far away the third prince and Ji Ling Xue who had perked up their ears to listen also frowned.
Ji Ling Xue was so angry that she had become a pawn of Xiao Yi Chen to lure the third prince, now they had left the pass, yet he didn't show anything, when will he actually make a move.
The third prince was worried he had definitely disguised himself very well, Xiao Yi Chen shouldn't be able to see through it.
Ru Ge was gloomy for a moment, but still honestly replied: "Chi Feng is still searching the mountain, princess went missing on her way to pay respect to her mother, of course they need to search more."
Xiao Yi Chen nodded, "This prince's princess likes to play around, she often runs off, to the extent that this prince is somewhat helpless towards her, she might have returned to the prince's residence, this prince has also been out for some time, go, return to the residence to take a look." Having spoken he pulled the horse to turn it's head.
Watching the back of Xiao Yi Chen who left as he had said, Ji Ling Xue ground her teeth, chewing Xiao Yi Chen out in her heart.
The third prince chuckled, he pinched Ji Ling Xue's cheek: "Haha, your husband prince has gone back, your hope has also been dashed, just follow this prince back to Dayan, forgot everything here..."
Once Xiao Yi Chen left, the third prince came to life, following the original plan, the group of them arrived close to the mine, once again they changed into merchant outfits and continued north.
Ji Ling Xue and Mo Xiang were shut in the carriage, Ji Ling Xue spat out the soup in her mouth, he wanted to use drugs to knock her out, she wasn't going to fall for it.
Mo Xiang's body basically wasn't affected by poisons, this knock out drug was nothing to her.
Mo Xiang asked: "Princess, prince have gone back, just now prince was with us for some time, I wonder if he noticed us?"
Ji Ling Xue's complexion looked very poor, hearing Mo Xiang's utterings: "I'm not going to consider this question, let's think of a way to escape first." If they successfully escaped the third prince's range of influence, she wouldn't return to the prince's residence, she'll directly seek her own livelihood in the world and live an unfettered life, princess Chen didn't like being kidnapped frequently, she was very tired.
How did Mo Xiang know what Ji Ling Xue was thinking, hearing princess's words, she immediately said: "We'll pass by a relay station for post horses on the way north, they will definitely stop to rest, princess, we'll make a move then."
