The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 93 Yunxi's Worries

Yunxi walked slowly in the garden of the Marquis's mansion, looking as if she had lost her soul. Her slender hands were twisting the handkerchief into wrinkles, and her brows were knitted so tightly that she could pinch a fly to death.

Her eyes were filled with worry, and she kept muttering, "What should I do? The prince has gone to the palace, and I don't know what will happen."

Cui'er, the maidservant beside her, hurried over and whispered, "Madam, please don't worry too much. The prince is blessed with a long life and will definitely be fine."

After hearing this, Yunxi turned her head to glance at Cui'er and sighed deeply: "Oh, I hope so."

As she spoke, she looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly, but she felt cold all over.

The flowers in the garden swayed gently in the wind, but she had no heart to look at them. Yunxi just stood there, motionless, her face growing increasingly sad.

After a long while, she slowly started to move forward, her feet feeling as if they were filled with lead. As she walked, she almost tripped over a stone.

Cui'er was so scared that she quickly reached out to support him, saying, "Madam, please be careful." Yunxi didn't say anything either, and just continued walking with her head down.

Back in her room, Yunxi sat before the bronze mirror. The figure in the mirror looked haggard. She gently stroked her cheek, "If anything happens to the prince, this mansion will be finished."

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Yunxi's heart tightened, and she hurriedly stood up to greet him. It turned out to be the butler, Uncle Fu.

Uncle Fu was running out of breath, with sweat all over his forehead. The sweat kept dripping down, and he didn't even bother to wipe it off.

Uncle Fu said anxiously, "Madam, there's news from outside that the prince has made new moves."

Yunxi's face instantly turned pale, like the paper, without a trace of blood. She widened her eyes and asked anxiously, "Tell me, what is it?"

Uncle Fu lowered his voice, his voice trembling: "I heard that the prince slandered the prince in front of the emperor, accusing him of collaborating with the enemy and treason."

"What?" Yunxi swayed, her feet felt like they were stepping on cotton, and she almost lost her balance. She grabbed Uncle Fu's arm tightly and said through gritted teeth, "This is simply slander."

Yunxi paced back and forth in the room like a headless fly, twisting her handkerchief with both hands until it was almost torn to pieces.

Her brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a mosquito, and she kept muttering, "No, I can't just sit there and wait."

She stamped her feet suddenly and shouted towards the door: "Someone come!"

Several trusted maids and servants rushed in, each with their heads lowered, not daring to breathe.

Yunxi glared and raised her voice: "Go and ask around and see if you can find any evidence that would be favorable to the prince."

The servants responded hurriedly, "Yes, ma'am," and then ran out.

Yunxi couldn't sit or stand in the room, her heart felt like it was frying in a frying pan. From time to time, she walked to the door, stretched her neck to look out, hoping that the servants would come back soon.

In the evening, when the sun was about to set, the people who had gone out to inquire about the news came back one after another, but they all had their heads drooped, like eggplants hit by frost.

Yunxi rushed over anxiously, repeatedly asking, "How's it going? What did you find out?"

A maid said timidly, "Madam, there is no... no useful news."

Yunxi's expression became even uglier, and her lips were bitten, leaving marks. "Is Tian Zhen trying to destroy my mansion?"

At night, Yunxi tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. She would pull the quilt over her, then kick it aside.

My mind was full of thoughts about the prince, and my heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat.

Suddenly, she heard a commotion outside and was startled. She got up and started to dress. She was so flustered that she buttoned several buttons incorrectly.

When he opened the door, he saw several guards escorting a servant.

Yunxi asked, "What's going on?"

The guard replied, "Madam, this boy is sneaky, his back is bent like a shrimp, and his eyes are rolling around. It's obvious he's not a good guy."

Yunxi walked forward, folded her arms across her chest, and squinted her eyes to examine the boy carefully. She saw that the boy had shifty eyes, was wearing shabby coarse clothes, and had messy hair like a chicken coop.

"Tell me, who sent you here?" Yunxi raised her voice, and there was a sense of majesty in her voice.

The servant lowered his head, his body trembled constantly, his legs shook, and he stammered, not daring to speak.

Yunxi frowned, his face darkened, and he said sternly: "If you don't tell the truth, I will send you to the government office.

You'll be in trouble when you get there!"

Upon hearing this, the servant was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop, and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, someone from the Prince's Mansion sent me here to see what's going on in the Marquis' Mansion."

Yunxi snorted coldly, put his hands on his hips, and looked at you like a torch: "Go back and tell your master that the Marquis' Mansion will not be defeated easily.

We are upright and honest, so we are not afraid of him using those despicable means." After saying this, he waved his hand and had the boy taken away.

After the servant was taken away, Yunxi looked up at the night sky, clasped his hands together, and prayed silently: "My Lord, you must return safely.

No matter what difficulties you encounter, I will be waiting for you in the Marquis' Mansion."

The next morning, Yunxi had just gotten up when she heard the sound of horse hooves outside. She was so happy that she ran out without even putting on her shoes.

Her hair was casually tied behind her head, with a few strands of hair hanging down.

But he found that it was not the prince who came, but the prince's personal guard Ling Feng. Ling Feng looked tired, with messy hair, dust on his face, and bloodshot eyes.

Seeing Yunxi, he quickly jumped off his horse, clasped his fists and said, "Madam, the prince is still trapped in the palace and the situation is critical."

Yunxi felt a buzzing sound in her head, her vision went dark, her body swayed, and she almost fainted.

Ling Feng quickly reached out to support her.

Ling Feng continued, "Madam, you have to hold on. We have to find a way to save the prince."

Yunxi bit her lip, took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and forced herself to cheer up. "Lingfeng, tell me quickly, what exactly is going on?"

Ling Feng said: "The emperor was deceived by the prince and became suspicious of the prince. Now the prince is under house arrest in the palace."

When Yunxi heard this, her beautiful eyes widened and her fists clenched so tightly that the knuckles turned white. "I will never let this damned prince succeed."

Yunxi turned around and hurriedly gathered everyone in the Marquis' Mansion. She stood before them, her expression anxious yet determined, "The prince is in trouble now, we can't just sit there and wait for death.

Everyone, please think of a way to rescue the prince."

Everyone looked at each other and started whispering to each other.

A bearded man said in a gruff voice, "Madam, why don't we just charge into the palace and grab the prince!"

A tall and thin man beside him quickly shook his head, "That's impossible. The palace is heavily guarded. We're just going to die!"

Everyone talked about it, but no one could come up with a feasible solution.

Yunxi was extremely anxious and paced back and forth in the room, her steps quick and hasty, like a gust of wind.

Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks and looked at Ling Feng with a determined gaze. "Ling Feng, quickly contact the prince's former subordinates and see if you can get their support."

Ling Feng clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I'll go right away." After saying that, he turned around and walked away with big strides.

Ling Feng took the order and left, while Yun Xi continued to wait for news in the Marquis's mansion. One day passed, then two days passed, but there was still no news from the prince.

Yunxi's worries grew deeper and deeper, and she became increasingly haggard. Her once rosy face turned pale, and her eyes were bloodshot.

That day, Yunxi was sitting blankly in the room, holding the hairpin given to her by the prince in her hand, with a dazed look on her face.

Cui Er rushed in in a panic, "Madam, it's bad. A group of soldiers have arrived outside and they say they want to search the mansion."

Yunxi stood up suddenly and threw the hairpin onto the table. "What do they want to do now?"

As he spoke, Yunxi led everyone to the gate of the mansion in a hurry. He saw the officers and soldiers standing there with scowls and aggressive expressions.

The general leading the team tilted his head and squinted his eyes and said, "According to the orders of the prince, we are searching the Marquis' Mansion again."

Yunxi glared at him and took a step forward. "You've searched many times, are you going to stop?"

The general sneered, "That's not up to you."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Search for me!"

The officers and soldiers rushed into the mansion like wolves and tigers, turning it upside down and throwing things everywhere.

Yunxi looked at the chaotic scene, her heart filled with helplessness and anger.
