Chapter 123 Let him come to the rescue
Prince Chen listened to Mingwei's words with a gloomy face, his hands hanging at his sides clenched tightly.
Because Wang Wanshu had caused trouble multiple times, his first reaction was no longer that Wang Wanshu had been abducted, but that she had run away on her own.
He even felt a vague irritation and didn't want to look for her, letting her fend for herself.
Prince Chen was somewhat shocked to realize that the thought had crossed his mind.
When did he start to lose patience with Wang Wanshu?
"Your Highness?" Mingwei asked, puzzled, seeing that Prince Chen remained silent. "Should we send someone to find the Princess?"
Prince Chen snapped out of his thoughts and glanced at the dark woods.
The darker it got, the more eerie and terrifying the forest behind them seemed.
A vein throbbed on his forehead as he said, "Find it!"
On the other side, Yu Wan heard the commotion and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
Yun Shang looked at her, glancing at the woods behind them out of the corner of her eye, her voice cold and calm, "It seems that Princess Tianyin is missing, and Prince Chen is arranging for people to search for her."
"What?" Yu Wan turned around in surprise and looked at the woods behind her.
It was pitch black; I couldn't see anything.
Her intuition was really accurate!
I had a feeling that something was going to happen when I saw Wang Wanshu walking into the woods, and I didn't expect that Wang Wanshu would actually cause trouble again.
Did Wang Wanshu run away on her own, or was she kidnapped?
Seeing her frowning and staring at the woods, Yun Shang reached out and held her head, turning it back to its normal position.
His voice was indifferent: "It has nothing to do with us. His Highness will send people to find it himself."
His tone was so calm and indifferent that it was as if Wang Wanshu was a complete stranger to him.
Yu Wan looked up at him, her heart filled with renewed certainty.
This Yun Shang is definitely different from the Yun Shang in the original work.
Prince Chen made no attempt to disturb them, nor did he send anyone to inform them of Wang Wanshu's disappearance.
Yu Wan and Yun Shang pretended not to know anything, and after dinner, the two of them got into the carriage to rest.
The carriage wasn't very spacious; it could only fit one person sleeping.
As Yu Wan was pondering how to rest that night, she saw Yun Shang arranging the cushions one by one and patting the tidied area.
"You sleep here."
Yu Wan glanced at the place he had tidied up, then looked up at him and asked, "And what about you?"
If she lay down to sleep, there would only be a tiny space left for Yun Shang to sit on.
Yun Shang didn't answer her question. Instead, he sat down in the corner and picked up a book.
In the dim candlelight, his porcelain-white skin was bathed in a warm glow.
"I'm not sleepy, I'll just sit here."
After a long day of running around, how can anyone not be tired?
Yu Wan knew this was Yun Shang's excuse. Looking at his tall figure sitting in the corner, he resembled a large, curled-up dog.
A bit pitiful.
I was also a little touched.
Yu Wan couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile, then pulled her clothes tighter and lay down.
Sleeping in a carriage is definitely not as comfortable as sleeping in a bed, but for some reason, Yu Wan felt that sleeping in a carriage wasn't bad.
They both quieted down; one closed her eyes to drift off to sleep, while the other quietly read a book in the dim candlelight.
Yu Wan drifted off to sleep, her breathing becoming even.
Yun Shang heard the soft, even breathing sounds coming from inside the carriage but did not turn his head. However, the pages of the book in his hand remained unturned for a long time, indicating that the reader's mind was not on the book at all.
……
Yu Wan thought she could sleep until dawn, but she was woken up by someone.
When she opened her eyes, there was no sound of Yun Shang inside the carriage.
Two voices came from outside the carriage.
"...I had no choice...I couldn't just watch Tianyin be trapped..."
"If you agree to help me with this, I can make you a promise."
Yu Wan got up and quietly lifted the carriage curtain.
What is Prince Chen saying to Yun Shang?
Through the gap, she saw Prince Chen and Yun Shang standing opposite each other.
Yun Shang's expression was indifferent, and upon closer inspection, there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
Yun Shang said, "What if something like this happens again next time?"
Prince Chen choked for a moment.
Wang Wanshu has too many tricks up her sleeve, and he can't guarantee that she'll behave herself and not provoke Yun Shang next time.
He sighed deeply, "I know this matter is very difficult for you, but I really have no other choice."
"I can't just leave her behind..."
Yun Shang looked at Prince Chen, whose brows were furrowed.
Although Prince Chen was annoyed by Wang Wanshu's series of actions, he still indulged her; otherwise, Wang Wanshu would not have dared to be so reckless.
After a moment of silence, Yun Shang spoke calmly, "It is my duty to share the burdens of Your Highness. I will accompany Your Highness on this trip."
Upon hearing this, Yu Wan immediately lifted the carriage curtain.
The sudden commotion drew the attention of the two men outside the carriage.
Yu Wan showed no guilt whatsoever about eavesdropping on their conversation and asked directly, "What happened?"
Prince Chen hesitated, glancing at Yun Shang.
Yun Shang, without the slightest hesitation, frankly told them, "The prince's men found Princess Tianyin in a hunter's trap, but the princess is unwilling to come out."
He didn't need to continue; Yu Wan already knew what was going on.
It must have been Wang Wanshu who made the request.
For example, she might say that she would only come out if Yun Shang went there, or that she wanted Yun Shang to go down and save her.
This plot twist is really something else, constantly trying to bring the male and female leads together!
Yu Wan smiled slightly, quickly straightened her clothes, jumped off the carriage, and said to Yun Shang and Prince Chen, "I'll go take a look too."
Prince Chen said nothing.
Yun Shang reached out and took Yu Wan's hand, his actions saying it all.
Prince Chen witnessed this scene and was once again helpless at Wang Wanshu's infatuation.
Anyone with eyes could see that Yun Shang was deeply in love with his wife, so why couldn't Wang Wanshu see it?!
Why would she abandon her position as a princess and so willingly demean herself?
Thinking of the royal couple who died for him and his mother, Prince Chen felt increasingly uneasy.
Wang Wanshu did indeed run away on her own.
She had only intended to shake off Mingwei, but the woods were dimly lit, and she fell into a hunter's trap before she had gone very far.
Fortunately, there were no barbs in the trap, otherwise Wang Wanshu would have died the moment she fell in.
Yu Wan secretly grumbled after learning about this.
This trap is unlikely to pose any significant danger.
The original plot was corrected so that the male and female protagonists could fall in love. If there were really animal traps or bamboo spikes in the traps, how could the male and female protagonists fall in love?
The guards sent by Prince Chen surrounded the trap.
The torches illuminated the area, and Yu Wan peered into the trap.
The trap was deep; she couldn't see the bottom at a glance, and it was at least seven or eight meters deep.
Under normal circumstances, a fall from a height of seven or eight meters would at least result in a concussion and knock someone unconscious, if not multiple fractures.
But judging from the fact that Wang Wanshu was still thinking about asking Yunshang to go down and save her, Wang Wanshu must be fine.
Just then, perhaps having waited a long time below, Wang Wanshu's voice was filled with fear and sobs, "Cousin, I'm so scared..."
The sound reached the trap very quietly, but those who heard it showed expressions of pity.
Even Yu Wan couldn't help but secretly gasp in amazement.
Sure enough, even a beautiful woman's cries for help after falling into trouble are so melodious and touching; if she were a man, he would probably have softened.
Thinking of this, Yu Wan couldn't help but turn to look at Yun Shang's reaction.
