Chapter 740 Nothing to do except sigh
When the prince returned home, Jiang Fang and Tong Lian hurried out to greet him.
The first thing Xiao Jingyi asked when he saw them was, "Have the people we sent out returned?"
However, what Xiao Jingyi saw was Jiang Fang and Tong Lian shaking their heads at the same time;
What I heard was that they both answered at the same time: "Not yet!"
"not yet?"
Xiao Jingyi growled in surprise, "It's already this late, why haven't they come back yet?"
Xiao Jingyi was anxious and annoyed, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little panic in his heart.
He flicked his sleeves and walked straight towards the main hall.
Walking into the hall, Xiao Jingyi sat down on the main seat.
Jiang Fang and Tong Lian followed him in. They looked at each other and just stood there with their hands hanging, not daring to sit down.
A maid quickly brought in hot tea.
Xiao Jingyi had something on his mind, so he just picked up the cup and drank.
He took a sip of hot tea, and the scalding heat immediately brought him back to his senses.
Xiao Jingyi suddenly became furious and threw the teacup heavily to the ground.
There was a crisp sound, and the little maid who was serving tea was so scared that she fell to her knees with a plop.
"Do you want to burn me to death?
Come, take her away and beat her to death!"
When the little maid heard this, she was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she kowtowed and begged for mercy, "My lord, spare my life!
My Lord, please spare my life!
Lord, please spare my life! ..."
Two servants came in from outside, with cold faces, and without saying a word, they stepped forward, ignoring the maid's crying and begging for mercy. One of them grabbed one of the maid's arms and dragged her out.
The voice of the little maid crying and begging for mercy gradually faded away until it became silent.
Jiang Fang and Tong Lian looked at each other secretly, with fear and confusion in their eyes... How angry was the prince? How angry was he!
It was really unlucky for this little girl. She lost her life because of serving a cup of tea which was probably really hot!
At this time, another little maid came in with a tray and teacups on it, her head lowered.
The little maid walked up to Xiao Jingyi tremblingly and gently placed the teacup on the tray on the table next to Xiao Jingyi.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea!"
One could see and hear that the little maid's hands and voice were trembling.
Xiao Jingyi glanced at the frightened little maid, picked up the tea, took two sips, and then put the teacup heavily on the table.
There was a loud "clang" and the little maid started to tremble with fear again.
"Get off!"
Xiao Jingyi scolded impatiently.
The three words "get out" sounded like an amnesty to the little maid.
She bowed hurriedly and quickly left the hall.
Only after they left the hall and walked a distance away did the little maid calm down a little.
He put his hand on his chest, still unable to believe it... Did he save his life?
In the hall, Xiao Jingyi frowned and said nothing. Jiang Fang and Tong Lian naturally did not dare to speak either. For a long time, the hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop!
Xiao Jingyi felt annoyed and looked outside at the sky... From Yunxiang Mountain to Prince Yi's Mansion in the capital, let alone riding a horse or taking a carriage, even if he walked step by step, he should have walked back long ago!
However, none of the dozens of people sent out returned.
what happened?
Did something go wrong?
Xiao Jingyi picked up the teacup to drink, but put it down in annoyance.
He looked at Jiang Fang and Tong Lian and asked, "You two...it's already this hour, why hasn't there been any news yet?"
Jiang Fang and Tong Lian heard their master's question and could only shake their heads and answer, "Your Highness, it is because no one has returned to report.
I don’t even know what the situation is like in Yunxiang Mountain?
Therefore, before the prince returned home, I had already sent people to Yunxiang Mountain to gather information! "
“What a bunch of rubbish!
I don’t know how they did such a simple thing!”
Xiao Jingyi cursed angrily.
However, no matter how angry he was or how much he cursed, none of the dozens of people he sent out disappeared!
As for the people Jiang Fang and Tong Lian sent out not long ago, even if they rode fast horses, they would probably have just reached the foot of Yunxiang Mountain by now.
It’s still too early to wait for them to report back!
"You two, sit down!"
Xiao Jingyi glanced at Jiang Fang and Tong Lian who were standing there nervously, and pointed to the seats nearby with some impatience.
"Yes, thank you for your seat!"
The two of them sat on the chairs on the left and right, and they only dared to sit on half of the chairs.
"Forget it, all of you retreat!"
Xiao Jingyi suddenly waved at the two of them impatiently.
The two who had just sat down stood up again in a hurry, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave first!"
Jiang Fang and Tong Lian bowed and quickly walked out of the hall.
Standing in the courtyard outside the hall, Jiang Fang and Tong Lian looked at each other helplessly, then turned back to look at the master who was sitting alone in the hall and on the verge of a rage...
"Ugh!"
They both sighed at the same time.
I looked up and saw that the sky was gray. It turned out that today was not a good day or a good weather.
Early in the morning, the person who should have returned did not return;
There was no news I expected;
It was a good thing, but a life was lost.
"Ugh!"
Thinking of this, the two of them sighed again.
At this moment, they can only sigh and do nothing else!
