Gu Siyuan's arms were generous, Qin Zhongwan leaned in them, and slowly closed her eyes. Her panic and anxiety gradually faded away, and the long-lost sense of security came over her, making her a little drowsy.

Thousands of words turned into a sigh after seeing Qin Zhongwan's tired face.

Gu Siyuan didn't ask any questions, silently took the reins and asked the horse to go slower, then slower.

The news that the prince saved a handsome man by riding a horse in the street spread throughout the streets and alleys. Many people saw Yu Rui's miserable appearance, which was very satisfying. In the past, this dandy from the Yu family relied on his prominent family background. People dared to offend him, but the good family who was molested couldn't afford to offend him, so he had to swallow his anger after spending some money.

Now, finally, a noble man has rectified the scourge of Yu Rui, and the prince's move has attracted everyone's applause.

Within a moment, the news reached Magistrate Lin's ears, and he found Mrs. Wang and asked about Qin Zhongwan's whereabouts. When he learned that she had buried him in Xinghua Tower, his heart was already broken.

Laifu trotted in in a hurry, "Master, master, we found him!"

Hearing this, Magistrate Lin quickly asked, "Where is he? Still in Xinghua Tower?"

Laifu shook his head and told Magistrate Lin the news that Gu Siyuan had rescued people. Magistrate Lin's eyes that were full of joy just now disappeared in an instant.

Magistrate Lin fell back weakly into the mahogany chair. His eyes were filled with chaos. He actually fell into Gu Siyuan's hands. So, what he did not only offended the prince, but also made him lose more than he gained.

Li Ce was still in the hands of the prince, but he failed to find Qin Zhongwan and lost the capital to negotiate. For a moment, Magistrate Lin's face turned pale. Laifu asked ignorantly: "Master, since that young master has been betrayed by the prince His Highness took him away, so he shouldn’t be blamed, right?”

"Ouch!" Laifu clutched his knees and rolled over on his side, wailing subconsciously. Then he realized what he was doing and didn't dare to scream. He held it in and his face turned red.

"Idiot!" Magistrate Lin's anger pierced the sky. He couldn't help but pace around the room. After a while, he called a carriage and went to Gu Siyuan's residence.

When Qin Zhongwan woke up, she was no longer on the horse. She turned her head. What she saw in front of her was not the decoration in her tent, but Gu Siyuan's.

The sound of conversation in front of the screen came in faintly, and Qin Zhongwan paused in getting up.

Gu Siyuan looked at the unreasonable Magistrate Lin in front of him expressionlessly, and for a moment, he actually sneered.

"Mr. Lin, I found you alone. Do you still want to let Li Ce go?"

There is no such thing as a pie in the sky, and Magistrate Lin took it too much for granted.

He could hear the sarcasm in Gu Siyuan's words, but Magistrate Lin still didn't give up, "The people in the lower post are only one step behind His Royal Highness. His Highness and the official made an agreement before. As long as everyone is safe and sound, the agreement will naturally be..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Siyuan coldly interrupted his shameless words, "It's okay for Mr. Lin to be a step late. People are found alone. Why are lonely people being chased on the street? Mr. Lin, Why don’t you explain?”

Master Lin was suddenly speechless, like a bird with its tongue cut off, unable to utter a word.

How dare he say that?Qin Zhongwan was sold to a brothel by his wife?

"Your Highness, when you look for someone, you have to work hard without any merit! You can't think of it..."

Gu Siyuan did not want to listen to Magistrate Lin's nonsense. He glanced behind the screen intentionally or unintentionally. Qin Zhongwan fell asleep in his arms. He had not been able to have a good rest for several days. The green look in his eyes made Gu Siyuan Yuan was heartbroken and carefully hugged the person and got off the couch.

If Magistrate Lin were allowed to continue to pester him, he might wake up Qin Zhongwan.

Magistrate Lin was expelled by Chang'an with a cold face. He felt extremely humiliated and stared at Gu Siyuan's tent with hatred rolling in his eyes.

"People are gone?"

A female voice came from behind the screen, Gu Siyuan slowly stepped into the screen, his eyes softened as he looked at the person on the bed.

"Second girl is awake, but do you feel any discomfort?"

Qin Zhongwan shook her head. She slept peacefully on Gu Siyuan's territory for a while and felt much better.

"What happened after Prefect Lin's people kidnapped you?"

A complicated look flashed in Qin Zhongwan's eyes. The experience of just two days was very complicated to say the least.

She sighed, "I woke up in a woodshed..."

The experience of the past few days was slowly told by Qin Zhongwan. As she spoke, Gu Siyuan's expression gradually became serious. When he heard that Yu Rui had neglected Qin Zhongwan and had evil intentions, Gu Siyuan's eyes became clear. A flash of killing intent flashed through him.

Yu Rui can't keep him. If he lets go easily, he will harm others, himself, and all the people in Jiangnan.

"How does His Royal Highness plan to deal with it?"

Meeting Qin Zhongwan's bright eyes, Gu Siyuan told the truth, "Li Ce colluded with Magistrate Lin. Now that Li Ce is in my hands, he will definitely be anxious."

If he wasn't in a hurry, he wouldn't have taken the risk and kidnapped Qin Zhongwan to threaten others.

Magistrate Lin was destined to escape disaster, but before that, Gu Siyuan had to ensure Qin Zhongwan's safety.
