Chapter 678 Adding insult to injury

"There is no end. After you recover from your illness, we will have a lot to talk about." Zhou Chang interrupted again. He couldn't and didn't dare to think about what Zhong Yu wanted to say.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the tent: "Your Majesty, your subordinate Han Bin wants to see you."

"What's the matter?" Zhou Chang turned around.

Han Bin opened the curtain and entered. He bowed at the door and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, please move."

"What's the emergency?" Zhou Chang frowned. Zhong Yu felt that the situation was not good and she didn't dare to leave.

Han Bin glanced at Zhong Yu, who had closed his eyes again, and replied softly, "An old woman was brought to the camp gate just now. Half of her face was covered with scars. Brother Gao saw her and took her to the tent of His Royal Highness Prince Yi. He is waiting for you to come over."

"Half of the face is covered with scars?" Zhou Chang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be Aunt Jing?

How can this be?

However, Han Bin and Chen Yuan were traveling all year round and had never met Aunt Jing.

Zhong Yu and Shou Hou also heard this at the same time.

Zhong Yu suddenly opened his eyes and was about to stand up again, but he couldn't breathe, his head fell on the pillow, and he fainted again.

Zhou Chang was shocked: "Military doctor, military doctor... Go and call the military doctor."

The skinny monkey had already gone up to him and pinched his nose and Ren Zhong with practiced breathing: "Don't panic, Your Majesty. Mr. Zhong is still breathing."

Zhou Chang didn't dare to leave Zhong Yu, but what if the person on the other side was really Aunt Jing?

The thin monkey held Zhong Yu in his arms again, and was calmer than Zhou Chang: "Don't panic, Your Majesty. Mr. Zhong has been like this a lot these days. Why don't you go and confirm whether that person is Aunt Jing. If there is any situation here, I will send someone to inform Your Majesty."

Zhou Chang stared at the weak and pale Zhong Yu for a moment, still worried about the other person: "Okay, I'll ask the military doctor to come over, you take care of the gentleman first."

After saying that, she took Han Bin out and asked him to find a military doctor while she returned to her own tent.

As soon as Zhou Chang lifted the tent door curtain, a gray figure rushed over.

Aunt Jing Xinjing had a dirty head and dishevelled clothes. She held a letter in her hand and hugged her tightly.

"Aunt Jing, is it really you? Why are you here?" Zhou Chang was extremely surprised.

Aunt Jing was so excited and trembling that she couldn't speak, and she just stuffed the envelope in her hand into Zhou Chang's hand.

Gao Yuan went over to help Aunt Jing: "Aunt Jing, please sit down first. Sit down first. We are already at the military camp. Everything will be easy now."

Gao Yuan is Aunt Jing whom I happened to meet near the camp gate just now.

Aunt Jing was pushed down by a horse-drawn carriage that came at a mad speed from an unknown origin.

Gao Yuan recognized him at a glance, and quickly invited Aunt Jing in, and then quickly asked Han Bin to find Zhou Chang.

Then he brought Aunt Jing into Zhou Chang's tent. Before they could sit down, Zhou Chang arrived.

Aunt Jing looked anxious but couldn't say a word, so Zhou Chang had to open the envelope.

There was only a piece of paper in the envelope, with a simple line of words written on it: "Tomorrow at 9:00 pm, at the end of Fengming Mountain, bring the jade pendant and come in person to redeem me. No one will be waiting after this time."

The characters are not difficult to recognize, I can recognize every one of them, but they all seem so unfamiliar.

"Ransom someone? Redeem who? Jade pendant, what kind of jade pendant?" Zhou Chang looked at Aunt Jing, full of questions.

Aunt Jing was helped by Gao Yuan to sit down in the chair. She just swallowed a mouthful of water and jumped up again. Her voice was very hoarse: "Prince...Prince, Princess...No, it's Miss Yuan, no...The Princess and Miss Yuan have been kidnapped by them. I want you to take that jade pendant...to the mountain to redeem them tomorrow."

Zhou Chang seemed to understand but also seemed not to understand.

Gao Yuan obviously didn't quite understand, but he was still calm: "Prince, Aunt Jing, what happened, let's sit down and talk it out first."

Zhou Chang came to his senses and walked to the main seat and sat down.

Aunt Jing swallowed two more mouthfuls of water and repeated, "The princess and Miss Yuan have been kidnapped. The kidnappers asked me to bring this letter to you, asking you to redeem them tomorrow."

"Ransom someone?" Zhou Chang held the piece of letter in his hand, his mind still unable to react.

Aunt Jing took a breath and spoke faster, "Your Highness, you may not know that not long after Mr. Zhong left, our palace was robbed again by a group of men in black. They were looking for something, but they didn't find it. In the end, they arrested all of us and interrogated us, only to find out that it was for a jade pendant. Finally, the princess remembered the jade pendant on the prince's body, and thought that if she told them, they would let us go, but she never thought that the princess and this old servant were captured by them again and brought here."

Zhou Chang tried hard to keep up, and finally accepted the reality that the kidnappers were taking hostages again: "You just said there was also Miss Yuan, how was Yuan Qi captured?"

There are still too many questions in my mind, but I will ask the most important ones first.

Aunt Jing shook her head: "I don't know how she was caught. I saw Miss Yuan after we were brought here. After seeing Miss Yuan, I had some thoughts..."

She suddenly stopped talking here and looked at Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan had been listening expressionlessly, but suddenly realized something and his face turned pale: "Aunt Jing, are you saying that Liu E was also kidnapped?"

After Yuan Qi was arrested, it would not be surprising if Liu E was also kidnapped. However, Aunt Jing hesitated to speak, so there must be something fishy.

Aunt Jing turned around to grab the teacup that had been put down. After a moment of hesitation, she decided to tell the truth: "After we were caught together, the kidnappers seemed to think that there were too many people, so they took Miss Liu away and directly..."

"What about directly?" Gao Yuan had already sensed something and could hardly stand.

"Buried alive." Aunt Jing's voice was hoarse.

These three words caused a dull pain in the person, as if he had been hit by a dull punch and then stabbed with a knife.

Gao Yuan felt like he was struck by lightning, his body stiff and unable to move.

Zhou Chang was also struck by lightning. He stood up from his seat and wanted to speak, but his mind was blank.

Such a good person, just disappeared like this?

Gao Yuanru felt like he had been frozen for a thousand years and couldn't move.

Zhou Chang went over and wanted to help Gao Yuan sit down, but he was unable to do anything.

Gao Yuan stood there in a daze. Zhou Chang could only temporarily put him aside and turned to Aunt Jing to continue asking: "Aunt Jing, who are those kidnappers? Why did they let you go?"

Aunt Jing still shook her head: "Those kidnappers were masked from beginning to end, and rarely spoke in front of us. All we know is that they are all rough men. They let me go back because they were afraid that the prince would not believe it, and let me bring back the letter because I am not important, and they still despise me..."

Aunt Jing always has clear ideas.

Zhou Chang then remembered that Aunt Jing had just escaped death: "Aunt Jing, are you okay? Are you not injured? Were they injured by the kidnappers?"

Aunt Jing actually looked fine, but she had lost a lot of weight. She no longer had the graceful and neat look she had before, and she also lost her usual cleanliness. She didn't even wipe off the dirt and dust on her face, which made the scar on the right side of her face less obvious.
