After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil

The night was dark, a crescent moon was shining, trees were towering into the clouds, and their black leaves intertwined into a dense net.

The desolate pale light spread over the dark forest, shining through the gaps onto the dead leaves on the winding path.

The sound of galloping horses was heard, and like a gust of wind, all that was seen was dust, mud, and dead leaves flying all over the road, and a dark cloak fluttering in the night sky, which disappeared in an instant.

"drive!"

Ma Xigui and Chen Ermu squeezed their horses' bellies and tried their best to catch up with the man who was several meters ahead. They looked at his black hood, which was rustling in the wind.

The man's condition made Ma Xigui worried. He couldn't help but shout to the front: "Brother, maybe you are overthinking it. Don't worry, maybe my sister-in-law is waiting for you in the state capital."

The black hood was blown off by the strong wind, revealing a handsome and cold face. His hair fluttered across his eyes, but he never blinked. His lips were tightly pursed, making his lip beads sharp and obvious.

He did not respond. He could not hear anything now. He had only one thought in his mind, to return to his home in the state capital as soon as possible!

He prayed to all kinds of gods and Buddhas, saying that as long as his beloved baby was waiting for him at home, he would worship them when he met a god or Buddha in the future.

He thought of Liu Wei's confession just now.

"My cousin is a subordinate of a master under King Cheng. At the end of December last year, he sent us to Qingshan Road to rob the Yin family's food and grass, and killed the Yin family father and son and Mrs. Yin, and then kidnapped Miss Yin."

"The rest of the time, that lord ordered us to rob whatever food and grass we could, and run away if we encountered a strong enemy, such as the patrol camp. A few days ago, he suddenly sent a few good fighters from Qingzhou, and also sent a lot of well-made weapons, asking us to..."

He didn't need to listen to what was said next, and asked Liu Wei directly: "Is that person's surname He?"

"Yes, last name is He."

……

The eight-hour journey from Yunlong County to the provincial capital was shortened to five hours by Li Yanqi.

The pedestrians in the streets of Chongzhou Prefecture dispersed as three galloping horses passed by, raising a cloud of dust.

A middle-aged man in shorts, holding half a steamed bun, spat at the horse's butt as it went away.

"Pah, I don't know which rich and wealthy family is riding a horse in the market so early in the morning."

Someone in the crowd recognized him and said, "The person who just passed by seems to be Lieutenant General Li."

The middle-aged man immediately put away the disdain on his face and said seriously: "My sin, my sin, it turned out to be Lieutenant General Li. I guess he is going to fight the enemy again."

Li Yanqi had been holding his breath in his heart. When he arrived at the door of his house and saw the man waiting at the door with an anxious look on his face, the anger rose to his chest and it hurt all over his body.

Zhang Wang knelt down immediately, lowered his head and did not dare to look at Li Yanqi's expression.

"Sir, my lady is missing."

Li Yanqi closed his eyes tightly, exhaled from his aching chest, and asked word by word with his back teeth pressed against his back: "How did you lose it?"

Zhang Wang narrated what happened.

Li Yanqi's hands were shaking. He tried his best to control his emotions and asked calmly, "The wife of the governor?"

"Yes, after I found out that my wife was missing, I immediately went to the governor's residence and asked to see Lord Cai. Lord Cai said that the gentleman was the grain supervisor sent by King Cheng of Qingzhou."

"She claimed to be an old acquaintance of our Madam. Because there were some misunderstandings between her and Madam, she wanted to ask Lord Cai to help resolve them. Lord Cai thought it was a good idea, so he used the name of the wife of the governor to trick Madam into coming over."

Zhang Wang knelt on the ground trembling with his forehead touching the ground. He was extremely scared and waited for his punishment, but he heard the sound of the horse turning around.

Li Yanqi didn't care about anything anymore. He only knew that he had to go to Qingzhou and bring someone back.

"Brother, Qingzhou is the territory of Zhao Huo and Xiahou Yuan, and there are millions of troops stationed there..."

"Even if Qingzhou is a sea of ​​fire and a mountain of swords, I will go there."

Li Yanqi's voice was blown away by the strong wind, and scattered into Zhang Wang's ears, causing his tears to drip to the ground.

It's all his fault. He failed to protect the lady. If the lady can't come back safely this time, even if he dies a thousand times, it won't be enough to compensate him.

The effect of the medicine has not yet worn off. I feel dizzy and have chest tightness. I don’t know if it’s because my period is late, but my lower abdomen also aches.

Lin Yanyu took an hour to regain control of her body. The scent of sandalwood lingered in the bed curtains, making her extremely panicked.

When she lifted the bed curtains and saw the layout of the room clearly, her heart sank. This was clearly He Zhiyuan's bedroom.

What on earth does this lunatic want to do?

Lin Yanyu put on her satin shoes with trembling hands and feet.

She quickly tidied her clothes, walked quickly to the door, reached out to push the door, only to find that it was locked from the outside.

An old lady's voice came from the door, "Madam, are you hungry? The master ordered that food be brought over when you wake up. Madam, wait a moment, I will bring the food right away."

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Lin Yanyu threw herself on the door and said hastily, "I need to go to the toilet. Mom, please help me."

"Madam, you are not in good health and should not walk too much. Your Excellency has already thought of you. Your Excellency's study has a new bathroom. Madam, you can go there to relieve yourself."

"Mom, I'm already married. I was abducted by you adults. I know I'm not worthy of you adults. Please be kind and let me go!"

The old mother didn't respond to her, and then there was the sound of footsteps fading away.

Lin Yanyu was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth. The scent of sandalwood in the room was like a poisonous insect, gnawing at her heart.

Are we really going to surrender?

She suddenly thought that someone would come in to deliver food soon, so she wanted to see if she could take the opportunity to rush out.

Just as the thought came to mind, footsteps were heard outside the door, "Madam, let's come in and set the table."

Then there was a "click" sound, the lock was opened, and Lin Yanyu stood behind the door.

An old mother in a crimson purple gown came in with a few little maids, each holding an ebony tray in her hands.

The old lady walked into the room first and tentatively called out, "Madam?"

As the old mother frowned and went to the inner room in confusion, a maid holding soup also walked into the room.

It's now!

Lin Yanyu rushed out from behind the door, but before she could be happy, she was stopped by two guards in front of the door, holding scabbards.

"Madam, please go back. The master said that you can only go out after you are well. Please don't make things difficult for us."

Lin Yanyu's heart instantly turned cold. She took a quick glance and saw that there were at least ten guards, with a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps.

How could she escape on her own?

She dragged her feet slowly back to the room and met her mother's half-smile.

"Madam, don't waste your energy. The important thing is to eat and wait for the master to come home."

Lin Yanyu sat down at the round table dejectedly and let her old mother serve her food.

"Madam, my last name is Wu. You can call me Madam Wu. I am always outside the door. If you have any instructions, just call me."

Lin Yanyu knew that if she didn't eat, she wouldn't have the strength to escape. Even though she had no appetite at the moment, she still managed to eat two bowls of rice under Mother Wu's satisfied gaze.

She was in a bad mood, and the food felt heavy in her stomach. To make herself feel better, she paced around the room while thinking of ways to escape.

Before she could think of a solution, the door was unlocked and He Zhiyuan, wearing a light blue wide-sleeved shirt, strode in with a gloomy look on his face.

"I heard from Mother Wu that you want to escape?"
