August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival.

At noon, Chen Yuan was lying in the study room reading a book, but Zhong Ling brought an invitation.

The vermilion invitation exuded a charming fragrance. Chen Yuan opened it and saw that it was the invitation letter from Princess Xiangcheng, saying that she was invited to the princess's mansion to attend the banquet. Chen Yuan was a little strange. Could it be that there was no dinner in the palace and that the princess actually asked her to invite someone in the mansion? Today she was still going to go to Yingfu to accompany Mrs. Ying and the others, but it seemed that she couldn't go.

"Miss, the carriage outside is ready, so we don't need to prepare it ourselves. The princess is very thoughtful."

Although Chen Yuan had a little hesitation, he still packed up and prepared to take Zhong Ling with him. Unexpectedly, the driver said that he could only take Chen Yuan alone on the order of the princess. Chen Yuan held the door curtain and paused slightly. What does the princess mean? Zhong Ling was also a little surprised. Why didn't the princess let the lady take the man in charge? She was worried that the lady would come over alone, but she could not resist the groom's face.

At the moment, one of Yanyumozhu returned to Ying Mansion to do business, and the other went out. There was no one around him who had made up his mind. Zhong Ling was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

After all, Chen Yuan calmed down and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry. I guess the princess told me that there is something important to do. In this way, you go and find the jade, seal the peach blossom wine together first, and send it to the old lady. By the way, I will tell you that I will go to the princess's mansion tonight and I won't go home!" Chen Yuan deliberately asked her to find the jade in Ying's mansion, just to know Ying Zhen, so that no matter what is wrong with going there, as long as Ying Zhen is behind her, she will not be afraid.

Zhong Ling's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood. After watching Chen Yuan leave, he immediately went to Ying Mansion.

Chen Yuan sat upright in the carriage, and for some reason he gradually felt sleepy. The carriage was very casual, which made her fall into a dream without realizing it. She was completely unaware that it was no longer the way to the princess's mansion.

When she woke up, her hands were tied together and her feet were tied up, unable to break free at all. She was covered in cloth and her mouth was blocked. She didn't know where she was now. She then realized that she was cheated and the person who came was not from the Princess's Mansion at all! No matter how calm she was, she couldn't help but be afraid at this moment. The nervousness and fear made her think a lot in an instant. She could feel that the room she was in was dim and there was no light, which meant that this was a closed room, and there must be someone guarding outside the door, how should she escape?

Just as she was thinking, the door was opened, and the dazzling light made Chen Yuan feel a little uncomfortable. More than one person came, and Chen Yuan deliberately struggled without any effort. He leaned against the original place, making people feel that she was not awake yet.

It seemed like someone was thrown in again, and the ringing sounded like a woman, but she didn't struggle.

"Boss, what should I do? These hot potatoes are not suitable for us, so the boss didn't say what to do."

"Idiot," the person who spoke before was slapped, and then they took him out to speak again. Obviously, the boss still had a little brain. Regardless of whether Chen Yuan was tied to wake up or not, just in case, some of the conversation was inconvenient for Chen Yuan to hear.

Chen Yuan felt a little relieved. At least these people had not done anything to hurt her except for binding her. But I don’t know who was tied up just now. Listening to the woman’s even breathing sound, it seemed like she was sleeping. Chen Yuan’s heart sank. Could it be that he was going to be sent to the fireworks alley? It was because his mouth was blocked, otherwise he could wake up the woman and think of a way to escape, even if he was talking to her.

However, after hearing the man's statement, it seemed that they were not willing to put themselves and this woman here, so they would definitely be sent to other places? Chen Yuan secretly calmed down and did not make any noise. According to the current situation, the possibility of escaping from here is too slim. If they would transport them to many places, it might be more convenient to escape on the way.

Sure enough, after a while, a few rash men came in. They quickly put Chen Yuan into a bag and slashed heavily behind Chen Yuan's neck. Even though Chen Yuan was prepared, he still couldn't resist the pain caused by the force and fainted in an instant.

When she woke up again, Chen Yuan's body shaking with the wooden board. She felt a sense of disgust in her stomach for no reason. Her eyes were still covered. Fortunately, she gradually woke up and noticed the sound of water rustling around her. It turned out that these people were walking on water. Feeling Chen Yuan's slight movement, the woman beside her seemed a little excited and made a soft whimpering sound.

Chen Yuan stood up and groped and moved a few steps towards her. She guessed that she and the woman should have been locked in the cabin, so she was so dizzy. The woman also stumbled and moved her foot. Suddenly, the hull shook violently. Chen Yuan was not prepared and fell to the ground with a thud. The woman didn't know what she bumped into and fell on Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan turned over with her hands tied behind her back, trying to remove the stuff that was blocked in her mouth for the woman. The woman obviously felt Chen Yuan's intention, and cooperated with Chen Yuan's movements. Finally, after several fumbles, Chen Yuan successfully removed the cloth bag stuffed into the woman's mouth.

"Gu Chenyuan, it's all your fault!" His tone was anxious and angry, as if he had found a vent.

Hearing this familiar complaint, Chen Yuan was shocked and relieved. The woman was actually Princess Wenling.

Wen Ling also helped Chen Yuan remove the things in his mouth, and then the two quietly untied each other's cloth that tied their eyes and the rope that tied their hands and feet. The two pretended to be snuggling together and spoke softly.

"Why are you?"

"Why isn't it me? If I weren't curious, I wouldn't have followed you, and if I didn't follow you, I wouldn't have been caught." Wen Ling wiped his tears, as if he had found a way to vent his anger, and cried without hesitation.

Chen Yuan felt soft. Although Wen Ling always causes trouble for her and provokes her every now and then, it was the child's character. She is trapped now, and although she doesn't know the reason, she still implicates her.

"Wen Ling, don't cry for now. Tell me what's going on. How do you know I'm in danger?"

Wen Ling was silent for a while, and hesitated with some reluctance: "Today, before I came out of the palace, I passed by the garden, and heard someone mention your name. I was curious about how anyone would talk about you in the palace. I eavesdropped on the back of the rockery and found that two girls I had never seen before were talking about you, as if they were plotting something. I was alone at the time, and it was hard to come forward rashly, and I heard them pick you up with a carriage, and I didn't hear anything else clearly. Later, after I left the palace, I rushed to the palace.

I went to you and looked at it secretly. Sure enough, I saw a carriage waiting in front of the mansion. When they heard that it was Sister Xiangcheng who came to pick you up for the banquet, I didn't think too much, and I thought it was me who misunderstood. But the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. If my sister wanted to find you, why would there be a palace maid know? So I secretly followed the carriage. Who knew that I was knocked out before I followed a few steps. Later, I didn't know why I was tied to the same place with you. You said, is it you blamed me?"

Listening to her seemingly dissatisfied tone, Chen Yuan had to smile bitterly. In order to distract Wen Ling's fear, Chen Yuan deliberately teased her and said, "Didn't you say I was your enemy before? Why did you sacrifice your life to save me?"

Wen Ling sniffed, "How is this called sacrificing his life to save him... I admit that I don't like you being by your brother, but," she paused and said powerlessly, "Although I don't like your identity, seriously, you are not bad... They want to harm you, how can I sit back and wait? What's more, I'm still in our Yujing!" Wen Ling was very proud and proud when he said the last sentence.

However, Wen Ling's frankness made Chen Yuan feel a little fond of. She didn't hate Wen Ling at all. Now she thinks this girl is really straightforward and cute, smart and clever.

"You said you've never seen those two girls?"

"Well..." Wen Ling thought about it carefully, "No, there was one who looked like Mrs. Mi serving her, and the other one--I have never seen her before."

Mrs. Mi!? Could it be that she wants to harm herself?

"What should I do? I'm afraid, I miss my father." Wen Ling began to worry about her current situation again. Although she was always playful, she was accompanied by Liu Zhang before, so naturally no one dared to do anything to her. But now, aren't the two weak women still at the mercy of others?

"Don't be afraid," Chen Yuan approached her a little more, wanting to give Wen Ling the power that she could rely on. She comforted Wen Ling, "I have everything, do you know? We can always find opportunities to escape, you must be strong."

Wen Ling nodded in a daze. Although her language was a little weak and helpless, she could only believe Chen Yuan at this moment.

Before we knew it, night fell, and the clear moonlight outside could be seen through the high cabin. The sound of water gurgling around was still clearly rumbling in our ears, and the boat was also sailing steadily. Chen Yuan sat in the cabin and looked up, wondering if Ying Zhen and the others found that they and Wen Ling were missing.

The girl Wen Ling was so tired that she was sleeping a little sensation on the side. Chen Yuan looked at her and felt a little pity in her heart. Those who tied them might not have expected that Princess Wen Ling was following behind the carriage, so she took the initiative to capture Wen Ling together.

The cabin was humid and hot, which made people feel very uncomfortable. Chen Yuan didn't eat for a whole day, and was hungry and thirsty at this moment. He was thinking about how long it would take to travel. Looking at the dark cabin door, Chen Yuan couldn't help but recall the arrogant Mrs. Mi. Did she send someone to harm her because of the young master?

Just as I was thinking, the hatch door was pushed open a small gap and someone brought in two bowls of noodles.
