Chapter 635: A rapist appears in the hunting ground?
Shu He was halfway through his sleep when he suddenly heard the sounds of several gongs and guards running back and forth outside.
Yier opened her eyes hazily and found that her mother had sat up.
She got into Shu He's arms and asked in a hoarse voice, "Mom, what happened?"
At this time, Nanqi's voice sounded outside, "Princess, there is movement outside."
In the darkness, Shu He frowned.
Didn’t they say that the fourth brother would not take action until two days later?
Is this the beginning?
Just as I was wondering, Nanqi said again: "It's not a big movement."
Not a big move?
Not the fourth one?
"Yier, you should sleep a little longer. There's something going on outside. Mommy's going to take a look and will be back soon, okay?"
Yi'er was already used to this situation, so she immediately climbed down from her and waved at her, "Mom, go quickly, Yi'er wants to go back to sleep."
After hearing this, Shu He was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
This child is now becoming less and less dependent on her.
It's also her fault. She always has so many things to do, and she has to live alone in the valley outside the mountains.
Shu He put on his clothes and walked out of the tent, and saw many guards holding torches and heading into the mountains.
"what happened?"
Why are you going into the woods so late at night?
Nanqi followed her outside and said, "It is said that the daughter of the Minister of Revenue has gone missing, and someone saw a dark figure carrying something into the mountains not long ago."
"The daughter of the Minister of Revenue?" Shu He seemed to have some impression of her. "Zhang Xuehan?"
Nanqi nodded.
The two of them walked to the entrance of the forest, where many people were already standing there watching the fun.
Among them, Minister of Revenue Zhang Pu and his wife were pacing anxiously outside the woods.
"Master, there are wild bears in this forest! If Xue Han is really kidnapped..."
"Shut up!" Zhang Pu scolded her with a sullen look on his face. "Don't you think enough people know about this?"
She was kidnapped into the woods in the middle of the night. If this news gets out, Zhang Xuehan's reputation will be completely ruined.
"Princess Zi Yan!" Madam Zhang saw Shen Zi Yan and quickly stepped forward, crying and begging, "Princess Zi Yan, you must help Xue Han!"
Shen Ziyan's face was calm as she asked, "Madam Zhang, how do you want me to help you?"
"I……"
Mrs. Zhang was speechless. She didn't know what to do. But seeing Shen Ziyan, who had been very close to Xuehan recently, she subconsciously came up to ask for help.
After all, she is the future consort of the Eighth Prince!
Shen Ziyan glanced at the distance and said in a comforting tone, "Don't worry, Madam Zhang. The Eighth Prince has already arranged for people to go down and search with all their strength. They will definitely find Sister Xuehan!"
At this time, Baili Moqi happened to come over, heard her words, and took over.
"Don't worry, Madam Zhang. The Imperial Guards and the Yuheng Division have already gone to search. I believe they will find Miss Zhang in no time."
Zhang Pu saw Baili Moqi and immediately came over to salute, "Greetings to the Eighth Prince!"
"Don't worry, Master Zhang. The Imperial Guards have already searched this forest during the day and have confirmed that there are no large wild animals. Miss Zhang will be safe."
Zhang Pu's expression changed slightly, and he thanked him half-heartedly.
Was he worried about the beast? He was worried about Zhang Xuehan's reputation!
If something really happens inside, the reputation of his Zhang family will be ruined!
In this case, it would be better if there were a wild beast inside!
Shu He and Nan Qi stood behind the crowd, roughly understanding the ins and outs of the matter. They were about to leave when they saw a person standing behind them on the right.
Her face was flustered, her eyes were terrified, and her hands were tightly twisting her sleeves, as if she had seen something terrible.
As if she noticed someone was looking at her, she turned around in panic and met Shu He's indifferent gaze.
When she saw Shu He's face clearly, she became more and more flustered, as if she had been electrocuted. She immediately looked away and fled from here in a panic.
Nan Qi saw this and said, "Does that woman know something?"
Shu He glanced at the torches deep in the woods and said calmly, "Let's go. There's nothing to see anymore."
Nanqi glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he asked, "Do you know what's going on?"
Her expression clearly shows that she knows everything!
Shu He didn't say anything. Thinking of what Ming Yan had said to her the night before, she could probably guess about 70% of it.
When the two of them walked in front of a black and red tent, she suddenly stopped, staring at a figure hidden in the darkness, and frowned slightly.
Nanqi looked in the direction she was looking and saw a black shadow turn behind the tent on the other side and then disappear.
"What's wrong? Do you know that guy?"
Shu He nodded, "It looks familiar, I think I've seen it more than once."
When was the last time you came?
"Nanqi, do you know who lives in that tent?"
"The black and red one?" Nanqi looked at the sail logo outside and said, "It belongs to the eldest princess."
After hearing this, she tilted her head slightly and asked, "Which princess?"
"Who else could it be? Princess Zhaoming!"
"Oh, by the way, Princess Zhaoming wanted to cause trouble for you today, but it was the Third Princess who noticed her intention and helped you to fend her off."
And this thing?
Shu He was speechless, "Why are you telling me this now?"
Nan Qi curled his lips. "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's the Third Princess who told me not to. She thinks the Eldest Princess is unhappy with you because she has a misunderstanding of you, and she doesn't want things to get too awkward between you..."
Shu He: ...
Well, why are these two people so "devoted" to Princess Zhaoming?
Thinking back to when they were in Beisha City, Baili Moqing was also like this. He was so tolerant towards Princess Zhaoming! She was speechless!
Zhang Xuehan was found the next morning.
I heard that when Zhang Xuehan was found, her hair was disheveled, her clothes were in tatters, and her exposed shoulders and arms were covered with red marks, bruises, and teeth marks.
Minister of Revenue Zhang Pu was so angry that he fainted on the spot, while Madam Zhang cried and screamed, and the noise was so loud that it alarmed Emperor Qiwen.
When Emperor Qiwen learned of this, he was furious! He immediately ordered the Ministry of Justice and Deputy Commander Meng Fang to investigate the matter. They were determined to find the rapist who had raped Miss Zhang as quickly as possible!
As soon as the word "rapist" came out, Mrs. Zhang fainted from tears.
