Quick Wear: Under the Skirt, All Beings Are Equal

Chapter 420: The Traitor: Bright Moon, Drinking Alone in the Autumn

This kind of thing can be said behind people's backs. No one would dare to mention it in front of Tang Ran.

Everyone knows that Tang Ran is a man who kills without blinking an eye. He doesn't even need to find a reason to kill an official of the imperial court.

If they dared to fabricate a scandal between him and the emperor, even if Tang Ran confiscated their property and exterminated their clan, the emperor might still say, "My dear, you have worked hard," and he was worried that the blood would be splattered on Tang Ran.

Tang Ran noticed the weird atmosphere among the people below, so she called Tang Yan over. After knowing this matter, she put it out of her mind and focused on thinking about how to deal with Zhou Wenye.

He suddenly asked, "How is the prince?"

Tang Yan thought of the news from Heishuitai and looked strange, "The prince is missing again."

Tang Ran put down the pen in her hand, looked up and listened to Tang Yan's explanation that the prince's going out to provide disaster relief was originally a trap, intended to lure out which people in Northern Qi had defected to the Kingdom of Chen.

Over the years, the Chen Kingdom has been committed to taking action against the princes. The crown prince, the heir to the throne, is naturally a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh, and they can't wait to get rid of him as soon as possible.

However, since so many princes and princesses died young, the old emperor has protected his children very well, checking their food, clothing, housing and transportation at every level, leaving the enemy no chance to attack.

The prince's trip this time gave them a great opportunity.

The crown prince had a good reputation and was deeply loved by the people. Many people were looking forward to his ascension to the throne. If he died at this time, it was easy to imagine what kind of turmoil it would cause to Northern Qi.

Tang Ran thought of the families that had taken action, and said, "Have people keep a close eye on those families. Since they have tried to assassinate the crown prince and want to shake the foundation of Northern Qi, let them have a taste of what it's like to have a younger person send off their loved one. Hang white silk in every family."

"My subordinates will make arrangements now."

Tang Yan thought about it and was afraid that the secret line he had worked so hard to penetrate would be wasted. This made him feel a little regretful. After all, those families were too vigilant and the servants were very careful in their transactions, so it was very difficult to arrange for someone to go in.

Judging from the appearance, the master must be really angry.

I think it won’t be long before they take action against these families.

In a mountain forest in Northern Qi, Li Changyi, dressed in coarse linen clothes, sat under an old tree, looking at the scorching sun outside. He felt that the light was so blinding that he could not open his eyes.

"The bandits are here again."

Li Changyi immediately got up and followed a group of villagers to escape in the thorns in an extremely embarrassed manner. The forest here was extremely lush, and the further they ran in, the more it blocked out the sun. They had no choice but to bend over and slowly peel away the branches on both sides.

With a loud rustling sound, the clothes were torn by the thorns, and even the black spikes of the wheat were covered with blood.

Li Changyi's face turned pale and he couldn't help but groan.

The light that came through the dense branches shone on my eyelids, burning them into a crimson glow.

The villagers who were fleeing behind him were also busy. They saw him slow down his pace and heard fierce shouting from behind. Bright flashes of knives were looming in the woods.

In a moment of desperation, he pushed Li Changyi directly.

"If you miss, go ahead and die by yourself. Don't drag us down with you."

Li Changyi nearly fell in the thorn bush, and the blood from his fingertips dripped hurriedly onto the sticky yellow soil and green leaves. The thin leaves were soaked with bright red blood, just like the carnivorous plant described in the storybooks, harmless yet with a brightly colored cruelty.

This pampered prince was almost driven crazy by the pain.

He had suffered too much these days, but walking on this extremely difficult mountain road still made him feel a little panic and confused. Looking at the increasing amount of yellow soil on his shoes, he picked up a dry wooden stick and scraped off the layers of mud on his shoes. Only then did he feel relieved.

It rained heavily yesterday, and the mountains and forests are still very wet, making the road very difficult to walk on.

Those who couldn't leave were caught up by the bandits and fell in the woods. The splashing blood and the flash of the knife burned Li Changyi's eyes, causing him to cry.

Li Changyi raised his chin and suppressed all the moisture in the corners of his eyes.

What's there to cry about?

I have enjoyed wealth and splendor for nearly twenty years and am much happier than these ordinary people. The hardships I experienced in escaping may be commonplace for them.

He thought that he must live well so that the people of Northern Qi would no longer have to suffer the pain of fleeing for their lives.

Li Changyi ran forward, covering his arm, but met an old man with a sprained foot halfway.

The old man was very old, and his face showed a kind of resigned sadness. He felt that he was doomed to die and that sooner or later he would be hacked to death by the bandits who would catch up with him.

But at this moment, a young man knelt on one knee in front of him and carried him on his back.

"Young man, just run for your life and don't worry about me."

Li Changyi remained silent, his long black hair was disheveled on both sides of his cheeks, his teeth were unconsciously biting his lips, his pale and cracked lips were stained with blood, and they suddenly became fuller like branches growing wildly.

He couldn't just stand by and watch the people of Northern Qi.

Moreover, as an old man of his age, he should have stayed at home and enjoyed the company of his grandchildren instead of dying at the hands of bandits.

He held his breath and followed the people in front of him, turning around here and there, and finally escaped from the forest.

Seeing that everyone's pace had slowed down, Li Changyi's breath of breath instantly dissipated and he almost fell headfirst.

The old man kept saying thank you. Seeing Li Changyi's bloody right hand, there was some genuine heartache in his eyes. He carefully bandaged Li Changyi and stayed by his side all the time.

"Just sleep well, I'll be here to watch over you."

Li Changyi's eyelids were so heavy that they were about to fight. After hearing this, he didn't care about anything else and fell asleep.

When he woke up again, the rough bandage on his arm had been replaced with a professional one. He looked around and confirmed that he was in a fairly wealthy home.

Li Changyi felt like all the bones in his body were about to fall apart. Just then he heard some noise in the yard, so he got up and walked out.

In the yard, three maids were playing shuttlecock.

Seeing that the people brought back by the eldest son and the young lady had woken up, the maid in green clothes kicked her foot upwards and easily caught the shuttlecock with her hands, then smiled at the overly handsome Li Changyi.

"The young master is awake."

Li Changyi also relaxed: "Excuse me, where is this?"

Several maids talked at once and soon Li Changyi understood the situation.

He was brought back by the eldest son Lin Chengen, who said he was the young lady's savior, and asked three maids to serve him well in the yard.

The maid wiped his face clean and found that the young man was extremely handsome, much better looking than the other young masters in their family.

Feeding Li Changyi medicine became the happiest thing for the maids. Every time they fed him, they would stare at Li Changyi for a while by the bed with a silly smile on their faces.
