The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 252 Take Lily of the Valley

Yang Xuan squeezed the rein angrily, and asked Xu Lianyu, "Where is Li Daochong?"

"Li Daochong...he fled to the back mountain with the little prince in his arms!" Xu Lianyu remembered Cai Honghu's gloomy and terrifying expression, and kowtowed vigorously, "Princess Chuijin also chased him to the back mountain, begging the prince to send someone quickly Save Li Daochong and the little prince!"

At first, Honghu thought it was the servant girl who rescued Yang Yun, so he chased him out from the window of the water room. It wasn't until he killed the two servant girls that he realized that they didn't hold the baby in their arms.

If she knew that it was Li Daochong who put her together, she would definitely become so angry that she would kill Li Daochong together.

"Prince Regent, you can go. It is important to save people. There is an old man guarding this courtyard. If there is any news, I will send someone to inform you." King Yu sat on his horse and looked into the distance, pointing to a firewood gate in the backyard, "They must be out the back door."

Yang Xuan turned his head and said a few words to King Yu, then led some soldiers to the back mountain.

~~
The night breeze is cool, and the light of pine torches shines in the distance.

An Guogong Yang Ling and his wife Li's car were just driving on the mountain road outside Luobei Town.

Tan Song, the county magistrate of Luobei Town, rode his horse and led a group of sergeants, holding torches and leading the way in front of the carriage.

The two old men had been in different rooms for a long time, and now they were sitting face to face in the carriage, both of them were dizzy from the shaking of the carriage, and felt a little uncomfortable.

An Guogong Yang Ling wore a brown brocade robe with a round collar and a soft armor on the outside of his jacket. His back was straight and his temple hair was not messed up at all. He looked quite heroic when he was young.

Probably because she knew she was going to ride with Yang Ling, Mrs. Li specially wore a light purple embroidered peony dress today, combed a cicada bun carefully, and even put on a peach-pink light makeup, exuding a faint fragrance of powder on her body.

"Master, this concubine has been thinking for the past few days... Ling Lan has served you for a year, why not... raise her to be an aunt." Today, for some reason, Mrs. Li suddenly brought up this matter.

"When is it? Why...said this all of a sudden!" Yang Ling pouted and gave her an angry look.

Just now, Tan Song, Yang Ling's confidant, came to the Duke's mansion to report that he found a family in the countryside of Luobei Town. They just moved here more than a month ago, and although they were in the countryside, they didn't farm the land. The owner came out occasionally. To buy some food and drink, he looks somewhat similar to Li Daochong on the arrest warrant.

As soon as Yang Ling heard the news of his grandson, he didn't dare to delay sending someone to report to Yang Xuan's official office, but Yang Xuan had already gone ahead and left Shangjing with King Yu.

The old man hastily brought Mrs. Li with him and led the soldiers from the Duke's Mansion to rescue his grandson.

"It wasn't sudden. In fact, I...have been thinking about this for a long time," Li-shi lowered her head, her gray hair was illuminated by the fire, and she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly. "I haven't had a chance to tell you before, Lily of the Land is also the eldest, so why don't you give her a title."

"This..." Yang Ling suddenly became embarrassed, his old face was a bit uneasy, and he moved his feet to look away, "This matter... don't worry, let's talk about it later."

The carriage returned to silence, only the sound of the wheels rolling over the mountain road, and the hearts of the two shook along with the carriage, feeling like they were strangers along the way.

Mrs. Li rubbed her eyes, she seemed to see a black figure heading towards the forest just now.

"Master!" Li raised the curtain of the car with one hand, and pointed to the outside with the other, "I just...seemed to see Honghu...see Princess Chuijin!"

"Nonsense!" Mr. An was stern and disdainful, "How could Princess Chuijin come here in this wilderness?"

"But just now I really seemed to see...she was wearing that black cloak...she walked briskly." Shi Li put down the car curtain hesitantly, still talking to herself.

She and Honghu often meet, and she is very familiar with Honghu's clothes, back and pace, so she should not be mistaken.

"Suspicious all day long!" Yang Ling snorted impatiently.

Suddenly, the sound of a baby crying came from a distant mountain forest.

"Stop! Stop!" Mrs. Li hurriedly shouted to the outside of the carriage.

Those who escorted An Guogong and his wife were all the soldiers of the Duke's Mansion and Tan Song's subordinates. Hearing Mrs. Li's greeting, they immediately reined in their horses and stopped.

"Grandpa!" Tan Song rode his horse back from the front of the team.

"Did you hear the baby crying?" The gray-haired old man calmed down and listened for a while.

Sure enough, there were a few faint crying sounds of a baby in the night wind, as if his mouth was covered to prevent him from crying loudly.

"My lord, there is a baby crying, it seems... It seems to come from the woods over there!" The general pointed to a dark bamboo forest beside the mountain road.

The mountain roads in Luobei Town are all planted with bamboo. If you look into the bamboo forest, you can't see the end at a glance, and you don't know how big the bamboo forest is.

"Master! This concubine just saw that Honghu entered that forest!" Li Shi jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the bamboo forest with the corner of her skirt, "Quick! Yun'er must be in the forest!"

"Get off your horses and search all the bamboo forests around here!" An Guogong ordered, put on a cloak and slowly jumped off the horse, and then shouted at Mrs. Li, "Ma'am! Ma'am, slow down!"

Mrs. Li doesn't know kung fu and is not familiar with the terrain of Luobei Town, but she rushed to the front alone, Yang Ling couldn't help but worry.

The old lady followed directly in the direction where she saw Honghu just now, without waiting for the sergeant behind her.

Yang Ling hurriedly gestured to Tan Song, and Tan Song led a group of people holding torches to follow Li Shi.

"Honghu! Is that you, Honghu?" In the darkness, he couldn't see the road ahead, and as he walked forward with difficulty, Li yelled loudly into the forest.

The crying of the baby was getting closer and closer, and Li Shi felt both anxious and happy.

After walking a few more steps, he saw a thin figure in a black cloak in the clearing.

"Princess Chuijin? Honghu!" Li Shi called out happily.

The figure in front of her turned her head, but it almost scared her out of her soul. Where is Princess Chuijin?It's an ugly old woman!

"You... who are you? Have you seen my grandson?" Mrs. Li stepped back nervously and asked boldly.

During this period of time, Mrs. Li stayed at home and lived in seclusion, unaware of the change in Honghu's evil spirit.

"Madam, what's the matter? You don't know me anymore?" The voice was old and gloomy, the sky was dark, the man's cloak was lifted by the wind, like a ghost, "I am Honghu!"

"Hong... Honghu? How did you... become so old..." Li stepped forward suspiciously, pointed at Honghu and blurted out, "Have you seen my grandson?"

The flames were brightly lit behind him, and Yang Ling and the sergeants gradually followed.

Hearing this, the old woman in a black cloak reached out and grabbed Li's neck viciously, "You want to see your grandson? Let your son kill himself, or I will dig out your grandson's heart!"

Ever since her appearance was ruined, Honghu is most jealous of people calling her old and ugly, but Mrs. Li just keeps her mouth open.

"Ah..." Mrs. Li couldn't make a sound when she pinched her.She never imagined that the usually well-behaved and sensible Princess Chuijin turned out to be such an old witch!
