The soft beauty is so good at teasing, the villain prince asks for a kiss

Simple house.

After taking a bath, Jian Yuan sat on the edge of the bed and let the maid wipe his hair. He closed his eyes, frowned, and looked unhappy.

The maid didn't dare to offend him, and was very careful throughout the process. However, the more she feared making mistakes, the easier it was to make them. When she changed the handkerchief, she accidentally pulled Jian Yuan's hair. Jian Yuan made a hissing sound, opened his eyes and glared at the maid, scolding, "Stupid, you can't even do such a small thing?"

The maid was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly rolled down and knelt on the ground, "I know I am wrong, Master, please calm down!"

Jian Yuan was already holding back his anger with nowhere to vent it, and the maid just bumped into him. He became so angry that he swung his arm and was about to slap the maid. The maid shrank her neck and closed her eyes in fear.

At this moment, with a "bang", a feather arrow broke through the window and pierced into the wardrobe on the wall, knocking over the candlestick. The candle rolled to the ground, made a circle and set the gauze curtain on fire.

The maid immediately screamed, "It's on fire!"

Jian Yuan suddenly stood up and covered her mouth, "Shut up!"

He first looked in the direction from which the arrow came, but didn't see anyone or find anything unusual. He shouted, "Someone come! Someone come!" Then he quickly stepped forward and stomped out the fire that had just started.

After a while, the servants who heard the noise came over and asked, "What's wrong, Master?"

Jian Yuan pointed at the broken window and said, "Someone was shooting arrows into the house and none of you noticed?"

The servants looked at each other and shook their heads. The housekeeper was shocked and asked, "Is the master injured?"

Jian Yuan looked at the arrow stuck in the closet and found something tied to the arrow. He pulled it out and saw that it was a letter? !

He quickly opened it and saw only two words on the letter: Save me!

The handwriting was illegible but barely recognizable; it was Wu Caixue's.

Jian Yuan's heart suddenly sank and he read it again in disbelief.

The housekeeper didn't dare to step forward, and turned to the servants and said, "What a bunch of idiots, why don't you go out and take a look? What if the villain is still lurking in the dark and preparing to attack the master?"

The maid crawled up from the ground and retreated in the chaos.

Jian Yuan didn't realize that his entire mind was focused on these two messy words.

What kind of urgent situation was it that left her no time to write even one more word?

Save her? What happened? How to save her? Where to save her?

Jian Yuan was in a state of confusion, pacing around the room holding the letter in his hand.

After a while, he unfolded the letter and read it again.

It was indeed Wu Caixue's handwriting, and the little writing habits were exactly the same.

The housekeeper asked worriedly, "Master, what's in the letter? Why do you look so sad?"

Jian Yuan said coldly: "Something happened to Caixue."

"Ah?" The housekeeper knew that his master and Concubine Wu had an affair, and he helped to cover it up. Hearing his words, he couldn't help but be shocked. "How could something happen to the concubine? Didn't she say she had returned to the palace?"

"I'm afraid the problem lies in the palace." Jian Yuan clenched his teeth, looking hesitant.

The butler sighed, "Then...what is the master going to do?"

Jian Yuan was silent for a moment, then he strode to the candlestick and placed the letter on it. The flames licked up quickly, and he threw down the burning letter and said, "Go and call everyone to come with me to the palace!"

"Ah?!" The housekeeper was shocked. "You absolutely cannot do that, Master! The situation is unclear right now. If you take people directly to the palace, what will the prince think when he sees you?"

"It is precisely because the situation is unclear that I have to go! Cai Xue will not look for me easily. This time it is so urgent, it must be something big. Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, I have to go through it!"

As he spoke, Jian Yuan grabbed the coat from the hanger and put it on as he walked out.

The housekeeper couldn't persuade him any more, so he had to call all the guards and quickly prepare the horses.

*

Jian Yuan brought thirty guards and hurried to the Annan Palace.

It was the middle of the night and there was no one on the road. The sound of horse hooves on the empty street was particularly harsh.

The "tat tat tat" sound seemed to be knocking on his heart. Jian Yuan felt extremely flustered and his eyelids kept twitching.

Just as we turned the corner and arrived at the palace, a flash of fire was suddenly reflected on the wall in front of us.

Jian Yuan was startled and immediately raised his hand to signal the people behind him to stop.

The street suddenly became quiet. Jian Yuan, who was sitting on his horse, leaned out to look outside and saw a group of lightly armored guards approaching from a distance, holding a knife in one hand and a torch in the other, leading the way.

There were two prison vans in the middle. In the front one, a woman was sitting in a corner facing him. She was thin and gaunt, with long hair covering most of her face. But her exposed jaw and nose were clearly that of Wu Caixue!

Jian Yuan's breath was choked, his eyes widened, and in the prison van behind him was a young man, lying on his side with his back to him, looking like he had fainted. The light red brocade robe he was wearing was the same one Rong Qiao was wearing today!

If it was in the daytime, Jian Yuan might be able to spot the flaw if he took a closer look, but he was too concerned to see clearly in the dark and he had no time to distinguish.

The people escorting the prisoner van started chatting, "Hey, I seemed to hear the sound of horse hooves just now, why are they gone now?"

"Did I hear it wrongly? Why didn't I hear it? Was it the horse pulling the cart?"

"Shut up, the prince asked us to keep a close watch on him, so you all should stay alert. If anything goes wrong, you'd better watch your heads!"

"Hey, Concubine Wu, why are you so stupid as to want to harm the eldest master? You..."

Jian Yuan could no longer hear the rest of the words. He could only hear the sound of his own heavy and chaotic heartbeat beating in his ears.

The prince knows!

He knew that it was Caixue who wanted to harm the eldest master!

Then why didn't he send anyone to arrest him? Didn't Cai Xue betray him?

Thinking of this, Jian Yuan felt a lump in his throat and tightened his grip on the reins.

She treated him so well, how could he just watch her die? !

At this moment, Jian Yuan made a decision. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was determined. He raised his hand and waved it down, "Go, save the people in the prison van!"

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard again, and the street seemed to tremble slightly. The guards escorting the prisoner car were startled and shouted, "Who is it?!"

Jian Yuan was the first to come out of the alley and stopped in front of them.

The guard was relieved when he saw it was him. "It turned out to be Master Jian. Why is Master riding a horse in the city so late at night?"

Jian Yuan glanced at the prison van behind him. The people inside moved, and immediately the sound of shackles colliding was heard.

His heart ached, and he asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"

"Ah, your subordinates are following the orders of the prince to escort Concubine Wu and the Second Young Master to the prison."

Jian Yuan calmly clenched the knife at his waist, "Oh? What did Concubine Wu and the Second Young Master do?"

"This..." The leading guard said in embarrassment: "The prince has issued a gag order, so I cannot speak for the time being."

"In that case..." Jian Yuan nodded, his eyes suddenly sharpened, "Then don't tell me for the rest of your life—"

He suddenly drew out his sword and chopped it down on his head, but the guard was prepared. He drew his sword with a clang and stopped it. His face darkened, "Master Jian, are you going to rescue the prisoner?"
