Chapter 1310: The Mermaid in the Mansion
Shi Li woke up in a daze and found that everything around her was unfamiliar.
The familiar bumps and jolts made her sure that they were in a carriage and that her kidnappers had the conscience to put her in a simple wooden barrel instead of leaving her out in the open.
Having inhaled an excessive amount of drugs earlier, his body was still limp and he had no strength at all. Shi Li barely held on to the edge of the wooden barrel to prop up his upper body and saw that there was another person in the carriage.
A young and noble man.
The man was sitting by the window, his low-key black robe unable to conceal his noble aura. Hearing the noise, he withdrew his gaze from the window and looked towards her.
Shi Li didn't feel any malice from him, only pure curiosity.
After looking at each other for a few seconds, the man laughed and cleared his throat.
"I am the crown prince of the dynasty. I heard you also have a name? Do you want to talk to me?"
"Shi Li, my name is Shi Li."
Shi Li didn't hesitate to give her name, and then couldn't help asking, "Why did you kidnap me? If His Royal Highness wants a mermaid, there must be one in Qizhen Tower. Kidnapping me is not worth it."
She was too embarrassed to say it, because she knew the other party would definitely not let it go, after all, he was the prince.
The prince blinked, a hint of helplessness showing on his face.
"You look very smart. Don't worry. After some time, I will find a way to send you back to the Wen family."
He originally didn't know why Su Sheng insisted on going back to his hometown to look for the mermaid, but since he followed him there, he would naturally send someone to find out the news, so now he knew everything.
Shi Li looked at the prince and inexplicably believed what he said.
But... Wenren Ding will definitely not just sit there and wait, which is a bit worrying.
She knew Wenren Ding very well and was absolutely right about what she thought.
With Han Chengbin as a breakthrough, he quickly sorted out and pieced together the truth of the matter.
Su Sheng, the divine doctor worshipped as a god by Qiu Liang, was the only son of the Su family master who traveled abroad. When he was young, he met a sorcerer for some reason and coaxed the sorcerer into teaching him everything he knew.
Later, when he grew up, the sorcerer died, and Su Sheng left the Su family and went to the imperial capital. After constant scheming, he finally got to the emperor's side, gained the emperor's trust, and was even almost named the imperial teacher.
However, the prince was always on guard against him, which prevented him from causing any big waves in the imperial capital. However, he was narrow-minded and always remembered that the Su family was outshined by the Wen family, so he designed a series of schemes.
Han Xiangbin followed his arrangements and deliberately approached Wenren Xinqing, trying to win her heart and prepare for taking over the Wenren family in the future.
"He said, he said that Wen Rending's fate is against him and he will definitely not live past the age of thirty. From now on, everything in the Wen family will belong to the eldest lady."
Wen Renjia's interrogation methods were not clean. After being tortured, Han Chengbin no longer had the energy to quibble and answered whatever was asked.
But when asked why Su Sheng kidnapped Shi Li, Han Chengbin couldn't explain it. It was obvious that Su Sheng was not willing to tell him everything he knew.
Even the fact that Su Sheng took Shi Li away in order to use her as a medicine inducer was not told to him by Su Sheng, but he overheard it by accident.
"According to Su Sheng's vicious mind, it will never be that simple." Wenren Xinqing couldn't help but kick Han Chengbin hard again, regretting not exposing him earlier.
No matter how precious and rare the mermaids were, there were more than just Shi Li. According to Su Sheng's deep thoughts, it was definitely not just for the sake of using Shi Li to ask for rewards and merits from the emperor.
There must be something else hidden in this.
But Wen Ren Ding had no time to investigate further and had to set out immediately to pursue the imperial capital.
Even though, the person he was going against was the crown prince, or even... the emperor.
This is almost tantamount to rebellion.
"You hold the token and can dispatch the people in the imperial capital at will."
At this point, Wenren Qing had no intention of stopping him. Instead, he directly handed the Wenren family token to him in a low voice.
"No matter what you do, the Wen family will support you." Even if it is rebellion.
The latter sentence did not need to be said, as it was already tacitly understood when the father and son handed over the token.
Wenren Xinqing's scalp tingled as she listened nearby. She couldn't help but whisper, "Let's catch another mermaid and then exchange it with Lili. Don't come up and try to fight or kill her."
She was not afraid, she was just worried about hurting Shi Shili.
I heard that they are all crazy and don't care about the lives of other mermaids. When it comes to the last resort, they will rebel.
