Chapter 205: Captured without mercy
No one knows why Wen Yitong would say such a thing.
When did Chen Che become the third-ranked scholar? And when did he marry Wen Shuyao?
Perhaps he's having a fit of hysteria.
Not only Granny Qi, but even those close to Wen Yitong, like Ruyi, thought that Wen Yitong had gone hysterical in a moment of panic.
But Wen Shuyao knew that what Wen Yitong said was true.
In her previous life, she married Chen Che and devoted all her efforts to helping him pass the imperial examination and become a third-ranked scholar, eventually leading him into the cabinet.
The dream that Wen Yitong mentioned must be her previous life.
However, Xie Jinghan's existence was minimal in her previous life, and she had no idea what happened to Wen Yitong, who married Xie Jinghan, or what she experienced.
Why did Wen Yitong's personality change drastically after having that dream, and why did she resolutely decide to marry Chen Che?
But that doesn't matter anymore.
She looked at Wen Yitong, and the coldness in her eyes sent a chill down Wen Yitong's spine, instantly bringing back her lost rationality.
"Let's go!" Wen Yitong gritted her teeth. "Get out of here!"
Since Wen Shuyao dared to show up, she must have made thorough preparations. Perhaps today's performance is a trap within a trap!
She has most likely fallen into Wen Shuyao's trap!
Therefore, she had to escape from here immediately!
Thinking of this, Wen Yitong's teeth chattered. She met Ruyi's gaze, and Ruyi knew what she was thinking.
A moment later, Ruyi grabbed Wen Yitong's wrist.
Then, the nearby guards immediately came forward to protect Wen Yitong as she tried to escape.
But it's too late for them to escape now.
Granny Qi sneered, "Seize them!"
Si Qing arrived with a large number of men, and at first glance, all he could see was a dark mass.
There are definitely not two hundred people!
Those two hundred men are still standing on the official road!
The people Si Qing brought...
Wen Yitong looked horrified: "He actually left all his personal guards to you!"
She had also been the Princess Consort of Jing, so she naturally recognized some of the familiar faces among them.
Wen Shuyao smiled but did not answer.
Only Granny Qi muttered to herself, "This Miss Wen seems a bit strange, not quite normal."
If you have the chance, you should still seize the opportunity to interrogate her thoroughly.
Why would someone who only had a marriage contract with the Prince Jing's mansion be so familiar with the Prince Jing's personal guards?
Wen Yitong stared at Wen Shuyao with resentment. At the same time, she was terrified, and jealousy surged into her heart.
Ruyi was different. She had no interest in romantic relationships. All she could think about was one thing—that the King of Jing and the Chu family's trip to the border to defend against the enemy was a trap!
Otherwise, Prince Jing would never have left all his personal guards in the capital.
The personal guards are different from the soldiers of the army. They only obey King Jing's orders. Bringing these four hundred personal guards is a great help to King Jing. King Jing became famous in one battle back then, which was inseparable from these personal guards.
Since he dared to leave his personal guards in the capital, he probably felt there was no risk at the border.
What kind of situation would make him feel that there is no risk at the border?
Ruyi's eyelids twitched wildly, and her uneasy premonition grew stronger.
The important thing now is not Wen Yitong's safety, but their grand scheme that they have been plotting for so many years!
Thinking of this, Ruyi desperately shouted at the guards, "Escape! Tell the Prince! Prince Jing is up to no good!"
However, her desperate shouts had no effect. At this moment, the valley had been completely surrounded by a net, and they could not escape even if they had wings.
Si Qing arrived with a large group of men, and in a short time, he captured them all, including Wen Yitong and her servant Ruyi.
When Ruyi was arrested, she was still in a daze.
She looked around anxiously, but her companions were either dead or wounded, and none of them had escaped.
"Stop looking," Si Qing said sternly. "Do you think our royal guards and the Chu family's guards are pushovers? Can't even handle this rabble?"
yes……
Ruyi smiled bitterly to herself. Even if this rabble were twice as many, they would still be no match for Si Qing and his men.
Judging from Si Qing's appearance, it seems the prince is destined to fail.
“You knew all along,” Ruyi murmured. “You knew our plan all along; this was all part of your scheme.”
Upon hearing this, Si Qing let out a cold laugh.
“My lord is resourceful and wise, and my princess is clever and intelligent. They have already seen through your clumsy plan.”
Ruyi thought to herself, "Just as I thought," while Wen Yitong, standing to the side, was still puzzled.
"What plan?" Wen Yitong asked Ruyi.
Ruyi closed her eyes: "It's the plan that decides whether you can become a princess."
She thought to herself, "How did someone as smart as me end up with a master like Wen Yitong?"
It's ironic that someone as dense as the magpie has such a wonderful master as Wen Shuyao.
It's true what they say, comparing people is infuriating!
She didn't want to say anything more to Wen Yitong. She and Wen Yitong were forcibly bound together by Prince Xin. She was loyal to Prince Xin, not Wen Yitong.
She finds it too tiring to say another word to a fool like Wen Yitong.
So, no matter how many times Wen Yitong asked or how much she said, she refused to respond.
Wen Yitong never expected that Ruyi would undergo such a huge change in such a short time. She stared at Ruyi in disbelief, but Ruyi's expression was cold, and she didn't give her a second glance.
Seeing this, Wen Yitong completely broke down.
"You've all lied to me!" Wen Yitong pointed at Ruyi and cursed, "If Father finds out about this, he will definitely not let you off!"
Upon hearing this, Ruyi scoffed lightly: "He's already in dire straits himself."
"Haven't you figured it out yet?" Ruyi stared coldly at Wen Yitong and said, "The reason they were able to leave so many people here is because they already knew about the prince's plan."
That's why they were able to leave so many people to protect Wen Shuyao.
Upon hearing Ruyi's words, Wen Yitong's eyes widened in surprise.
Then, Wen Yitong stared intently at Wen Shuyao: "What do you want to do?"
"Traitors and rebels deserve to be killed by everyone!" Wen Shuyao sneered. "Second sister, you keep calling him Father, so you must already know about your background."
"Neither you nor your mother will escape."
As soon as Wen Shuyao spoke, Wen Yitong's face showed despair.
What good could come of her falling into Wen Shuyao's hands?
Wen Yitong bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes darting around as she tried to think of any other way to resolve her current predicament.
But with her skills, she had no chance of escaping from these people.
Unless Ruyi helps her.
However, Ruyi hung her head, clearly having lost her will to fight.
What a useless idiot!
Wen Yitong cursed inwardly, trying to find a breakthrough from Wen Shuyao.
However, Wen Shuyao only glanced at her and said, "Second sister, give up. I will take you to Quanshui Manor with me."
