Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

Chapter 278 Meeting Chu Xi's Mother

Seven days passed by like a flash.

Chu Xi in the cabin had two huge panda eyes, messy hair, and his white clothes were covered with dried yellow medicine stains. He looked so tired, as if his essence had been sucked away by a fairy.

She was always carefully observing Shangguan Yun's condition, and was relieved to see that her breathing was stable and her face was not as pale as before.

She raised her hand and tremblingly hid the Fire Cloud Bracelet back into her sleeve before opening the door.

Aunt Li Qing, who had been standing at the door expressionlessly, smiled when she saw this: "Miss Chu, how is the young lady?"

"Everything is fine. Auntie, just take her back to the room and rest."

After Chu Xi finished speaking, he walked out of the door, but he fainted after only two steps.

Nangong Yu saw that something was wrong with her, so he immediately jumped over and picked her up, anxiously shouting, "Xiao Xixi... Xiao Xixi... are you okay?"

Aunt Li Qing quickly felt her pulse, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's okay... Miss Chu was too tired these days, so she fainted. Just get some sleep and she'll be fine."

At this time Shangguan Qi also rushed over, and when he saw Chu Xi fainted, his eyes were full of self-blame.

"Aunt, is Miss Chu really okay?"

"It's okay. I'm just exhausted."

Aunt Li Qing also knows medicine. She usually helps take care of Shangguan Yun when she is feeling unwell. She was arranged by Shangguan Qi's father to be by his side to take care of and protect Shangguan Yun.

"I'm glad you're okay. Brother Nangong, please take Miss Chu to the side room to rest." Shangguan Qi said nervously.

Nangong Yu carried the person away without saying anything.

With no one to lead the way, Yan Jingshuo and his group wandered around the lake at the entrance.

"Master, we are back to where we were."

Ying Yi looked at the familiar scenery around him and said in a deep voice.

Yan Jingshuo, who was standing at the bow of the ship, frowned deeply. He felt that this place was really weird.

"Is there a psychedelic array in this water?"

Yan Jingshuo stared at the endless lake and talked to himself, what was going on?

At this moment, an extremely gorgeous ship suddenly appeared on the calm lake without any warning. This ship was slightly different from theirs in structure, exuding a suffocating luxury. A flag was flying on the ship, with a large "Emperor" embroidered on it, giving people a sense of majesty and solemnity.

It slowly passed the ship where Yan Jingshuo and his crew were at a steady and graceful speed. Everyone turned their heads to look and saw a familiar figure appear on the ship. It was Chu Xi's mother, Huang Junwan.

Huang Junwan on the boat did not notice Yan Jingshuo and the others, but was chatting with a person dressed in female official clothing.

"Minister Li, how is the Queen Mother's health these days?"

"Your Highness... The Queen is in good health these days, but I can't help crying whenever I miss you."

Minister Li Rong said respectfully to Huang Junwan.

"It is my fault for being unfilial. I shouldn't have run away so willfully and made the Queen Mother worry about me."

Huang Junwan almost couldn't hold back her tears. She pretended to be strong and raised her hand to quickly wipe away the tears from her eyes.

"Your Highness, please don't say that. The Queen is extremely happy that you have returned safely. Your Highness doesn't need to blame yourself too much."

"Did the Queen Mother really not blame me?"

"No, Her Majesty the Queen looks forward to being with you every day, so how could she blame Your Highness?"

"That's good……"

Only after Minister Li gave an affirmative answer did Huang Junwan feel a little relieved.

Yan Jingshuo looked at the boat slowly passing by them, and just when the boat was about to sail away from them, he used his Qinggong skills to fly over without thinking.

"Who is it? How dare you fly onto our royal ship?" A group of soldiers quickly picked up their spears and pointed them at Yan Jingshuo.

Yan Jingshuo pursed his lips tightly, said nothing, and kept looking at Huang Junwan.

"Hey...we're asking you a question?"

The leading guard yelled at Yan Jingshuo again.

Huang Junwan and Minister Li, who were chatting, heard the noise and immediately walked over here.

Before she got close, Huang Junwan saw Yan Jingshuo at a glance and hurriedly stopped him: "Stop it now..."

Upon hearing the order, the soldiers immediately put down their weapons and made way.

Huang Junwan slowly approached, glanced left and right, and then spoke to Yan Jingshuo:

"Seventh Prince, why are you here? Where is Xi'er?"

"I'm sorry, Madam Chu... I failed to protect Xi'er. She was captured."

Upon hearing this, Huang Junwan's whole body trembled violently, and the smile on her face froze instantly. She widened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her with disbelief.

"What did you say?"

She murmured in astonishment, her voice trembling slightly. She couldn't believe what she just heard, as if the whole world was collapsing at this moment.

Her face turned pale as paper in an instant, and her body swayed slightly, as if she would fall down at any moment.

Suddenly she stood up, her voice instantly becoming agitated: "Seventh Prince, what is going on? Didn't I entrust Xi'er to you? Why was she taken away by someone?"

Faced with such an excited Huang Junwan, Yan Jingshuo lowered his head guiltily and dared not say a word.

"Speak up! Who took her away?"

Huang Junwan walked up to him, pulled his collar and questioned him loudly.

"Your Highness, your health is very important. You must not get too excited."

Minister Li beside him couldn't help but remind him.

"A woman named Sun took her away."

Yan Jingshuo said in a low voice. He didn't dare to move and let Huang Junwan pull his collar.

"The one whose surname is Sun?"

Huang Junwan stopped crying and suddenly realized that her behavior was a bit extreme. She hurriedly let go of Yan Jingshuo's collar and asked in confusion.

"Um"

Yan Jingshuo nodded. When he thought that it was Sun Yuqiong who did this, he wanted to tear her into pieces.

"So where did you take her?"

"Yunyuan Continent, I just found this place by following the clues Xi'er left, but why can't I find the entrance..."

"What continent are you talking about?"

Huang Junwan looked at Yan Jingshuo in surprise again, wondering if she had heard it wrong?

What he seemed to be talking about just now was... Yunyuan Continent?

"It is a continent called Yunyuan."

Yan Jingshuo repeated it again in a deep voice.

"Haha...it's really God's will."

Huang Junwan turned to look at the other side of the boat and sighed helplessly. Then she turned around and continued, "In that case, follow me."

"Your Highness, this... I'm afraid it's not appropriate?"

Minister Li quickly spoke out to stop him. After all, she felt that Yan Jingshuo was not from Yunyuan Continent.

"What's wrong with that?"

Seeing Minister Li’s objection, Huang Junwan’s face immediately turned cold.

"After all, he doesn't belong to... Yunyuan Continent. Your Highness, is this a bit impulsive?"

"He is my son-in-law and the husband of your future queen. Minister Li, do you think he is from Yunyuan Continent?"

Huang Junwan snorted in displeasure.
