An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1231 Draw Him Out

"Master!" A cry rang OUT in the yard, "Cao An and Cao Jin are in a coma. And they are missing."

"Master! One of the servants is also missing! "

Then came the angry voice of Ming Hong, "I told you to keep an eye on her, but you lost her!"

"Please forgive me, master!"

"What's the point of saying that now? They didn't have a horse and were not familiar with this place. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

They shouldn't go far. Hurry up to look for them! If you can't take them back, I won't let you go. "

The guard answered. But soon, Ming Hong said, "She took away a servant. She must have asked the

servant to lead the way. There are only two ways out of the mansion. If it was the way we came, the

servant must've tried his best to inform us. So it must be the other one. You can go to the other one by

riding a horse. They don't have a horse and can't run too far. "

It was noisy outside. After the chaos, the voice gradually faded away.

Under the light of the lanterns under the eaves, Qian Zhuo looked at Yun Shang. Yun Shang shook her

head, took out a leaf from her sleeve, and blew it.

It was an ordinary leaf, but Yun Shang made some bird sound with it.

After a while, there was another sound outside.

"Master, there are many people coming to us from outside."

"What?" "Why did they come so soon? Didn't the the Empress just run away? Has she already secretly

spread the news and asked people to ambush around? "

"But how could it be possible? Her every move is under our watch. How did she do it? "

The guard couldn't answer, but asked, "I'm afraid the mansion is not safe. What should we do now,

master?"

"What should I do? Of course we should leave now. " Ming Hong gritted his teeth and said, "I thought

she wanted to escape, so she deliberately sent you away to invite me here. Now it seems that it is

more than that. She obviously wants to lure me here and then arrest me."

"How many people have come? How far they are from here? "

"About a hundred people. About three miles away from here."

"Let's go!" Ming Hong made a prompt decision, "We'll leave by waterway."

Waterway?

Yun Shang narrowed her eyes. The only way that could be called the waterway in the mansion was the

river that crossed the whole mansion.

But the surface of the river was not very wide and the water was not too deep. It was definitely

impossible to boat.

So the waterway he meant was mostly just swimming through the water.

Yun Shang smiled, took the leaf and blew a few more times.

There was no sound outside. Yun Shang sat on the pile of firewood carelessly, without any panic on

her face.

Qian Zhuo looked at Yun Shang and saw the calm look on her face. Thinking of what Ming Hong had

just said, she felt relieved.

Someone must have come to pick them up.

As expected, after a while, there was another noise outside.

It seemed that someone was searching in the mansion.

"Master, we found no one except a few deaf servants in the mansion. They seem to be illiterate. We

have searched all the rooms in the mansion, but we didn't see the the Empress."

Qian Zhuo's eyes lit up and looked at Yun Shang.

Yun Shang smiled, unhurriedly picked up the leaf and blew it again.

Soon, there seemed to be a response from outside.

The smile on Yun Shang's face grew wider. She stood up from the pile of firewood and said, "Let's go.

They've arrived."

Qian Zhuo followed Yun Shang and left the woodshed.

Footsteps came from outside. Soon, someone entered the yard with a torch.

Standing at the door of the woodshed. Yun Shang saw the leader of the group was dressed in black

brocade, and his handsome face was full of anxiety. Seeing Yun Shang, he suddenly stopped and fixed

his eyes on her.

Yun Shang tilted her head and smiled at him.

The man also had a smile on his face. He hurried to Yun Shang and reached out his hand to her.

"Madam, I'm here to pick you up."

Yun Shang nodded, "Okay, let's go home."

Then she put her hand in Luo Qingyan's. They left the backyard and the mansion together.

There was a carriage waiting outside the mansion. Luo Qingyan helped Yun Shang get on the carriage.

Yun Shang stood on the carriage and turned to look at the mansion. Then she turned around and

entered the carriage.

Luo Qingyan also came in and sat down next to Yun Shang. He held Yun Shang in his arms and asked

softly, "What were you looking at just now?"

"Nothing. I've lived in the mansion for a few days, but I haven't seen what it looks like from the outside,

so I just took a look at it on purpose. The scenery of the mansion is pretty good. It's surrounded by

mountains, and there is a stream running across the mansion. There are a lot of peach blossoms and

other flowers. Although they are ordinary flowers, they are well maintained and looked splendid. "

Luo Qingyan smiled, "If you like it, we can take over the mansion. You can stay here for a few days

whenever you want."

Hearing this, Yun Shang lowered her eyes and chuckled, "If I like it, you will take it? You don't sound

like an emperor at all. Instead, you sound like bandits. "

"I don't care if I am the emperor of a country or a bandit. As long as you like."

Yun Shang smiled for a while and then remembered another thing. "The man who kidnapped me ran

away from the stream in the mansion. Did you catch him?"

"Yes, I did." Luo Qingyan nodded, "When I received your news, I asked someone to block him. And he

was caught."

Yun Shang nodded, "I'll go back to the palace to have a rest. I want to interrogate him myself when I'm

free."

Luo Qingyan snorted, "Why bother to interrogate such a person? Just kill him. Even if you interrogate

him, he may not tell the truth. "

Yun Shang smiled and kept silent for a while. Then she said, "I heard his guard mentioned the names

of the two guards who had been spying on me and made me faint. Their surname is Cao."

Hearing what Yun Shang said, Luo Qingyan immediately understood what she meant. "Do you suspect

that the Cao clan did it?"

Yun Shang nodded. After a moment of silence, she continued, "But I'm wondering which one from the

Cao clan did it." Why did they just imprison me without doing anything else? What did they want to do?

"

Yun Shang pursed her lips and said, "I have a rough guess, so I want to draw him out."
