Adorable Food Goddess

Chapter 264 Escape

Xia Chunyu brought a group of people to Leng Palace.

"You guys, go over there and search. Don't miss any bushes, rockery or caves."

The guards were ordered to disperse.

Xia Chunyu then said to the remaining guards: "There are three wells nearby. Let me pry open the stone slabs and search them carefully."

Ye Jiayao, who was sitting at the bottom of the well and fell into despair, suddenly straightened up. She seemed to hear footsteps.

somebody is coming.

Ye Jiayao shouted loudly: "Is there anyone there? I'm at the bottom of the well..."

Her voice echoed in the dry well, because the wellhead was covered with thick stone slabs, and people outside would not be able to detect it if they did not listen carefully.

However, the man who was squatting at the mouth of the well and preparing to move the stone slab was shocked and shouted happily: "Master Xia, there is someone here."

Xia Chunyu stepped forward and pushed away the person squatting at the mouth of the well. He knelt down and opened the stone slab with force. Then he raised one side of the stone slab. A clear voice came from the dark bottom: "Is there anyone? I It’s Ye Jinxuan…”

At this moment, Xia Chunyu seemed to hear the most beautiful sound in the world, and his heart almost jumped out of his mouth. He suddenly had infinite strength, and with a strong effort, he overturned the stone slab.

The sky suddenly lit up, and the bright sunlight stung Ye Jiayao's eyes, which had been in the darkness for a long time. She quickly covered her eyes and shouted loudly: "I am Ye Jinxuan, Ye Jinxuan who is in charge of Prince Yu's wedding banquet, please help me out quickly..."

"Yao Yao..." Xia Chunyu lay at the mouth of the well, almost crying with joy. For more than three hours, he was heart-wrenching and faced collapse several times. Now that he finally found Yaoyao, he was overwhelmed by the joy of finding her.

Ye Jiayao heard Chunyu's voice, and she, who had always been strong and refused to cry, burst into tears. She knew that Chunyu would come to save her, and Chunyu would definitely find her.

"Chunyu... hurry up and save me..." Ye Jiayao choked, wiping her tears of disappointment.

"Yao Yao, don't be afraid. I'll save you right away. Just wait a moment." Hearing her cry, Xia Chunyu really wanted to jump down and hug her and comfort her, but his reason told him that the well was very dangerous. It’s so deep that you can’t go down or come up without tools.

The guard didn't need his orders, and already ran quickly to find the rope.

"Yao Yao, are you injured?" In order to appease the emotions of his beloved under the well, Xia Chunyu lay facelessly at the mouth of the well and stuck his whole head in. The guards were afraid that he would fall and kept a close eye on him, ready to catch him at any time.

"I...I'm okay, it's just that it's so dark here." Ye Jiayao's mood slowly stabilized, and Chunyu's voice seemed to be shaking. He must be extremely nervous.

"It's wet and muddy underneath. I'm so dirty." Ye Jiayao laughed at herself.

"It doesn't matter if it's dirty, as long as it's not hurt." Xia Chunyu was so moved that he even wanted to thank the hijacker for not harming Yaoyao.

"What time is it now? Is the wedding banquet about to start? Is it too late for me to go now?"

Xia Chunyu felt sad again. She was like this. She was still thinking about the wedding banquet. Her eyes were uncontrollably covered with mist, making it harder and harder to see the people underneath.

"It's only three minutes now. If you move quickly, you can still make a big meal in time." Xia Chunyu said in as relaxed a tone as possible.

"That's good..." Ye Jiayao breathed a sigh of relief. This was Ah Ruan's wedding banquet. She must organize this wedding banquet for her successfully. She promised Ah Ruan.

"Master Xia, here's the rope." The guard ran back panting.

Xia Chunyu tied the rope around his waist without hesitation.

"Sir, let me go down!" The subordinate said worriedly, how could I let you go down into the well in person?

Xia Chunyu turned a deaf ear. The person below was his wife. Of course it was him who went down, why should someone else carry Yaoyao up?

"No need to talk nonsense. Just pull the rope and follow my orders later." Xia Chunyu tied the rope tightly and jumped into the well. He supported the wall of the well with his feet and hands and slid down quickly.

Looking at the man falling from the sky, as soon as he landed, Ye Jiayao threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. She was lying if she said she wasn't afraid. She was really afraid that she would die here, and no one would find out if she died here. She doesn't want to die yet, she still has so many unfulfilled wishes, and she still wants to spend a long life with this man.

Xia Chunyu hugged her tightly, wishing to rub her into his body and never separate again, so that he wouldn't have to worry about her suddenly disappearing.

He kissed her forehead and face passionately, comforting her incoherently: "It's okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here..."

He said he was comforting her, but he was also comforting himself. The suffering for most of the day was unforgettable in his life.

"My lord, my lord..." the guard above shouted worriedly.

Xia Chunyu held her waist tightly with one hand and said softly: "Yaoyao, hold me tight."

He tugged on the rope with one hand and gave the order with great enthusiasm: "Pull!"

He Lianjing was still searching in the imperial garden, looking for every suspicious thing, but still found nothing. He couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. Could it be that his analysis was wrong?

"Little Prince, Little Prince..." A guard ran over.

He Lianjing recognized him as the person next to Brother Chunyu, and his heart tightened: "Did you find him?"

The guard smiled, showing his white teeth: "I found it. Now I am sending my sister-in-law to Princess Ah Ruan, and asked my subordinates to inform the young prince."

Helian Jing looked up at the sky. In the clear blue sky, there was a faint white cloud floating in it. He was leisurely and at ease, and his heart that had been hanging was finally at ease.

Ah Ruan has dressed up and is waiting for the auspicious moment to come. He puts on the red hijab, gets into the sedan chair, and walks towards the known and unknown life. But she has been thinking about Sister Yaoyao in her heart. Sister Yaoyao came to the palace because of her. If Sister Yaoyao cannot come back, how can she feel at ease.

Hearing the palace maid's report that Sister Yaoyao had been found and was changing clothes in the side hall, Ah Ruan was overjoyed and got up to see Sister Yaoyao.

The old grandma stopped her quickly and said, "Princess, you can't move around as you please. The sedan chair will arrive at any time."

Ah Ruanli ignored her and ran towards the side hall, followed by a group of palace maids, eunuchs and nuns.

"Sister Yaoyao..."

Ye Jiayao had already changed out of her muddy and dirty clothes and was washing her face.

Seeing A Ruan coming, he quickly wiped his face and hands: "A Ruan, why are you here? Go back quickly, the bride can't run around."

Ah Ruan ignored her, rushed over and hugged her tightly, choking with sobs: "Sister Yaoyao, just hope you're okay. I don't know how worried I am, I'm scared to death."

Ye Jiayao felt warm in her heart and said with a smile: "Today is your happy day, but you are not allowed to say such things. Don't you think I'm a good person?"

"Then where have you been? Did someone catch you?" Ah Ruan asked eagerly: "Are you injured?"

Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "No, no, don't worry anymore. I can be your bride safely. I will go to the royal dining room right away. If you hurry up, I can prepare a wedding banquet for you."

Xia Chunyu sent two guards to protect Ye Jiayao, and went to report to the emperor himself.

"Your Majesty, Ye Jinxuan has been found. She was found in an abandoned well near Leng Palace. Fortunately, she is not seriously injured, but she was a little frightened. She will go to the imperial dining room immediately and will not delay the wedding banquet."

The emperor's expression was serious: "Do you know who did it?"

This incident really made him so angry. Someone actually tried to sabotage King Yu's wedding, and it was someone from the palace. It was too terrible, too hateful, and unforgivable.

Xia Chunyu said: "According to Jinxuan, she almost bumped into a young father-in-law on the way to the imperial dining room. The man lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly. Then, someone cut her on the back of her neck. Waiting for her When she woke up, she was already in the abandoned well. We don’t know who kidnapped her yet.”

"Check, we must investigate thoroughly." The emperor said angrily.

"Wei Chen obeyed the order, but this person was very cautious. He kidnapped Jinxuan and abandoned the abandoned well. No one discovered him along the way. The abandoned well is an unowned land, so it is quite difficult to investigate." Xia Chunyu had already analyzed it. After that, unless Yaoyao can recognize the eunuch, it is not easy to recognize this person. There are thousands of eunuchs in the palace, which is like finding a needle in a haystack.

"No matter how difficult it is, we have to investigate. When we think of someone with extraordinary skills, he can kidnap people at will in the palace. If we don't find this person, how can we calm the hearts of the concubines in the harem and follow the emperor's heart." The queen also said decisively.

She is not afraid of slanting shadows. If she cannot find out, the suspicions on her and the prince will never be eliminated. And if the emperor has a grudge in his heart, it will be detrimental to both her and the prince.

Concubine Shu also said: "Of course we need to investigate, we cannot let such evil-minded villains go unpunished."

"Yes." Xia Chunyu accepted the order. It was not easy to investigate this case, and it would be even more difficult to make a decision.

The news of Ye Jiayao's escape reached Yonghe Palace. Youshi was heartbroken and silently recited Amitabha. It was really the blessing of the Bodhisattva that allowed Jinxuan to turn disaster into good fortune.

Yide asked: "What about her?"

The father-in-law who came to report the news said: "I have already gone to the imperial kitchen."

Yide sighed: "It's really embarrassing for her. She's still in shock, but she can't catch her breath."

The Queen Mother asked: "Do you know who did it?"

The father-in-law replied: "The emperor has given an order to Mr. Xia to investigate this matter strictly."

The Queen Mother nodded thoughtfully.

Liuli opened her mouth, but swallowed the words that came to her lips and remained silent.

Lu Yiming was relieved when he saw Ye Jiayao coming: "If you don't show up, I will have no idea today."

Ye Jiayao smiled: "How could I not show up? I will definitely come."

Ye Jiayao was surprised to find Zhong Xiang and Deng Haichuan among the imperial chefs.

"Why are you here?"

Lu Yiming smiled bitterly and said, "It's not because you haven't arrived yet. The manager of the imperial kitchen had no choice but to call them here first."

Deng Haichuan and Zhong Xiang were called over temporarily. They didn't know what happened to Ye Jiayao, and they were in a state of confusion. Seeing Ye Jiayao now, Deng Haichuan couldn't help but asked: "Second Young Madam, are you okay? Bar?"
