As soon as Chu Chenjing and Chu Feng left Ouyang Yunyao's room, Xiao Cui, Xia Yan and other maids hurried in. Now they could finally talk to the princess. Several people surrounded Ouyang Yunyao and chattered. Xiao Cui said, "Princess, Master Yan said that you and the prince went into the cave and haven't come back. I am so worried."

"Princess, if we don't see you come back, we will go looking for you at all costs." Xia Yan said with a frown.

Ouyang Yunyao looked around at these loyal subordinates, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. In her eyes, they were not just her maids, but more like her comrades in arms in her previous life who had gone through life and death with her.

She waved her hands and looked at them, saying playfully, "Okay, okay, I know you are all worried about me, but look! I am back safe and sound, right?"

At this time, Xing'er asked: "Princess, did you find any clues in the cave?"

Ouyang Yunyao frowned slightly, and a hint of regret was revealed in her tone: "Well, we only found an elaborate array and some mechanisms, nothing else."

"Jiuji, Princess, are you okay?" Xiao Cui stood up anxiously when she heard Jiji's call.

"I'm fine. Oh, but Chu Feng's arm was scratched by an arrow. Yan'er, change Chu Feng's medicine at night and give him some delicious food." Ouyang Yunyao teased Xia Yan

"Princess," Xia Yan blushed and asked, then she changed the subject and asked, "Princess, weren't there supposed to be a lot of people in the valley? How could they just disappear out of thin air?"

"It is possible that there are secret passages in the cave that we have not discovered, or they have already run into the mountain from there. It is also possible that they have moved away long ago." Ouyang Yunyao analyzed calmly.

"Then what should we do?" Xia Yan asked anxiously.

"Those people must be very cunning and proficient in setting up battle formations. They may have other abilities. We cannot search for them like looking for a needle in a haystack. We can only wait for them to show up. Moreover, I suspect that some of them have already sneaked into Kyoto City." Ouyang Yunyao continued.

Then, Ouyang Yunyao continued, "We will discuss this matter later. Yan'er, tell me what happened last night first." Ouyang Yunyao asked, tapping the table with her small hands.

Xia Yan started from the moment Ouyang Yunyao chased the carriage away last night, and continued to talk about what happened in Jingzhao Prefecture this morning. Xia Fei also added that they found the house with the secret passage.

When Ouyang Yunyao heard about Wei Huaitong, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked, "Yan'er, did those people confess that Wei Huaitong was really his father's concubine who wanted to harm him?"

Xia Yan nodded her head and answered, "Yes, Princess. You guessed right yesterday. The concubine of Prince Wei was so cruel that she even paid a killer to kill Wei Huaitong. The killers thought they could make more money by selling him, so they didn't kill him, and sold Wang Daniu as well."

"Princess, Wang Daniu suffered because he was with Wei Huaitong." Xiao Cui said sympathetically.

Ouyang Yunyao sighed and said, "Alas, it seems that Wang Daniu is really an unlucky guy."

"That's right, Princess. He almost lost his life the first time he accompanied Wei Huaitong on a trip. He was still scared when he returned to the school." Xing'er said.

"This really scared the child. Then Ouyang Yunyao snorted coldly, "Humph, that concubine is really a vicious person. How did Prince Wei deal with this matter?"

Xia Yan said, "Princess, the concubine has been sent to the government for detention. Even if the prince of Wei dotes on her, he cannot protect a woman who is trying to kill his own son."

"Princess, how could this woman be so evil? It's scary to think about it. She actually killed someone just to win favor." Xing'er said.

"That's a fight for family property. The Crown Prince of Wei has only one legitimate son, Wei Huaitong." Xia Fei said.

They continued to discuss for a while, and Xiao Cui suddenly remembered something and said to Ouyang Yunyao, "Princess, Sister Mei was afraid and worried about this matter last night. After picking up Wang Daniu this morning, she said she wanted to improve the school and was ready to write a plan to report to you."

Ouyang Yunyao nodded. "Well, she was frightened, but it's not her fault. It's my fault for not thinking it through. The school does need improvement. We will go over later to listen to her plan and think about how to improve it."

"Yeah," Xiao Cui said.

"Princess, in my opinion, the children in our school should strengthen their training so that they will not be afraid of danger." Xia Fei said.

Xia Yan looked at Xia Fei with disdain, "Fei'er, all you do is practice martial arts. Can those rich kids endure the hardship of practicing martial arts?"

Xia Fei responded unconvincedly: "Sister, what's wrong with that? At least practice a little. You won't be caught all of a sudden."

Ouyang Yunyao pondered for a while and said, "Yan'er, Fei'er is right. The children in our school really need to practice more. We can arrange for them to practice one-on-one with each other. This will not only improve their kung fu, but also enhance their spirit of mutual help."

"Princess, this is exactly what I meant. We need to make the children's Red Army stronger so that they can go to the battlefield when they grow up." Xia Fei said happily, and after she finished speaking, she did not forget to stick out her tongue mischievously at Xia Yan.

Ouyang Yunyao's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard Xia Fei's words. She had never thought that this little girl who usually only laughed and played could have such an idea. She was really a promising talent.

Several people laughed and discussed for a while. At this time, Ouyang Yunyao's face suddenly became serious and said, "Okay, I have something important to tell you."

When they heard that the princess was going to say something important, they immediately quieted down, held their breath, and looked at Ouyang Yunyao in unison, waiting for her to speak.

Ouyang Yunyao's eyes swept across their faces, and she opened her thin lips slightly, "This is what happened. We destroyed Xiaoyao Villa this time, and we also learned from those people in black that Xiaoyao Palace was actually behind Xiaoyao Villa."

"Xiaoyao Palace? Princess, what Xiaoyao Palace? Why have we never heard of it?" Xia Yan asked in confusion.

Ouyang Yunyao frowned, her eyes dark as she said, "Not only have you not heard of it, I have never heard of it either. What's even more surprising is that I heard that the Palace Master of Xiaoyao Palace is actually some goddess from Danyan Country."

"Danyan Kingdom?" Xia Fei was very confused. "Hasn't Danyan Kingdom always been at peace with our Western Chu Kingdom? How could they..."

"We must immediately send someone to find out the details of Xiaoyao Palace." Ouyang Yunyao said without question.

"Princess, where are they hiding now?" Xiao Cui asked anxiously.
