Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight

Chapter 6 2 Emperor Bai Yueguang (5)

Yue Bai looked up when he heard the voice and found a young man in Taoist robes in the alley. He was called a young man but he was only about twelve or thirteen years old. He was as tall as a small cypress tree. He was holding a whisk and walking against the light. "Wulian Tianzun, why do you have to bully a child?"

Li Ergou thought that what he had done would be discovered and he would be brought to justice, but when he turned around, he found that it was actually a half-grown child. He was thinking about making another profit by buying one and getting one free, "Where did this little Taoist priest come from? Why don't you come back with me..." As he spoke, he moved closer to the little Taoist priest.

Unfortunately, his plan had not yet come into effect. Wang Chen put away his whisk and drew out the sword hanging at his waist. Yuebai only felt a flash of sword light before his eyes, and Li Ergou fell to the ground motionless.

"Brother Taoist, is he dead?" Yuebai still had tears on her face as she looked at Wangchen tremblingly.

Wang Chen shook his head, sheathed his sword neatly, walked to Yue Bai and helped her up. The girl's clothes were covered with dust and she looked a little disheveled, but this did not detract from her temperament. She looked like a lady from a noble family. He patted the dust off her body and said, "I just knocked him out. I'll take him to see the official later. Where do you live, little sister? I'll take you home. Don't go out alone in the future." As Wang Chen spoke, he took out the hemp rope in his hand and tied up Li Ergou neatly.

"Thank you, Taoist brother. But can you please help me save another person? We came out together, and if I go back alone, brother will scold me for running over there." After saying that, Yuebai pointed towards the West Market, and Wangchen had no choice but to take her and go there.

Afraid that Yuebai would get lost, Wangchen took Yuebai's hand. The elegant little boy held the lively and lovely girl's hand and walked slowly through the downtown. During the walk, Yuebai asked everyone she met if they had seen a boy who was about eight years old, about her age, but in the end nothing came of it.

Chu Ji, whom Yuebai missed so much, had already returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. When Li Ergou didn't chase him, he thought about going back to ask for help. He heard the eunuch say that the Grand Tutor was still resting, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and break into the Grand Tutor's yard and tell the Grand Tutor's servant that Yuebai was missing.

The servant's face changed immediately, and he hurried into the room. Soon, the sound of someone getting up and the short cough of the Tutor were heard from the room, and a maid ran hurriedly to the courtyard of the Prime Minister's wife. After all, such a big thing had to be informed to the Prime Minister and his wife.

Madam Xiang was originally checking the income and expenditure of the manor this month, when suddenly a maid from Yue Hua's house who she didn't know ran into the main courtyard in a panic, "Madam, something bad has happened. The young lady and the crown prince have secretly left the house and are missing."

"Patta——" It happened that Lin Xiang was also in the main courtyard at this time, and the teacup in Xiangye's hand fell down in response, "Who is missing? Explain clearly!"

"My Lord, it was the young lady who secretly took His Royal Highness the Crown Prince out of the palace to play. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is back now, and the young lady is lost."

Hearing the maid say that the prince was safe, Lin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was hanging for his daughter's safety. He loved his daughter in his middle age, and Yue Bai was smart and cute since she was a child, so he loved her even more. "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go find the young master?"

"The young master already knows about it. It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who went to look for him." The maid replied quickly.

That's right. After all, Yue Hua is the prince's tutor and has a much closer relationship with the prince. His Royal Highness is a child after all, so it makes sense for him to go find Yue Hua first. Minister Lin turned around and comforted his wife, "You don't have to worry about Yue Hua. This child has always been cautious. I will go over and discuss with him to send more people out to look for her. Our Yue Bai is a lucky person. You just wait for me to bring her back."

Madam Xiang listened to Ningxia's words of comfort, but she was not really relieved. She still sent him out with a worried look on her face. "My brother from my maiden side has just been promoted to the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. I've asked someone to tell him to help look for her." Madam Xiang was able to marry the Prime Minister, so she was certainly not from a humble family. She immediately began to use all the methods she could think of, hoping to find her daughter as soon as possible. After all, this was her only blood child.

The Prime Minister patted his wife's hand soothingly, then turned and walked forward.

"Go! Send a letter to your brother immediately!" The prime minister's wife hurriedly ordered her personal maid, "Where are the servants who usually accompany the young lady? How come no one came to report when she secretly left the house today?" The prime minister's wife narrowed her eyes and looked fierce. Lord Xiang's backyard was very clean, so probably no one would harm his daughter, but it was hard to say about the government affairs.

"Madam, I asked the young lady's maid Xing'er, and she said that after the young lady had lunch, she took the Crown Prince to play in the mansion and did not allow the two of them to follow." The maid also felt that the maids around the young lady were young and inexperienced.

"Everyone around Yuebai will be beaten with ten boards and fined two months' salary." The prime minister's wife ordered.

Yue Hua estimated that it was about time, "Cough cough cough——", a burst of rapid coughs, he patted his chest with his hand and spat out a mouthful of blood. After all, he had to pretend that he would not live long so that it would be easier for him to leave this world. Now was just the right time to create the illusion of a heart attack so that his death would not seem sudden in the future, and it could also give others some buffer time.

After Yue Hua finished coughing up blood, he glanced casually at the beam where the secret guard that Emperor Xuan had placed with him wanted to stay. Sure enough, the man was gone. He must have gone to report the news to the person in the palace.

As Lin Xiang just walked to the gate of Yuehuayuan, he saw a servant with blood on his body running out in panic. The servant didn't see clearly and bumped into Lin Xiang, asking, "Who did you bump into?" The servant immediately knelt down.

"Please forgive me, sir! Please forgive me, sir! I didn't see that I was going to die. But your son vomited blood, and I hurried to find the palace doctor."

Although he was prepared, when he heard that his son's health was very poor, Lin Xiang still felt a little uncomfortable. He waved his hand and didn't bother to let him go find the court doctor. The servant immediately kowtowed and hurried away.

Because Yue Hua knew that the scene below might scare children, she asked Chu Ji to go to her residence first to wait for news. After Lin Xiang entered the room, he saw Yue Hua with a pale face, slumped on the couch. "I know you have always cared for Yue Bai, but you have to protect your body too." Lin Xiang poured him a bowl of ginseng tea and watched him drink it.

"I naturally understand my son's physical condition, but father, I'm really tired these years." Yue Hua pursed her lips and closed her eyes tiredly.

Prime Minister Lin felt helpless, his two children were both very beautiful. If they were girls, it would be fine, but his son was also very beautiful. Over the years, his son and the young lady in the palace stopped him from getting married. He could guess that if he hadn't been concerned about his son's health, he would have forced her into the palace long ago.

The two of them tacitly agreed not to talk about this topic anymore. At this time, the servant dragged the court doctor in hurriedly. After taking the patient's pulse, the court doctor repeated the same old words and said that the patient should rest.

After the court doctor had prescribed the medicine and boiled it, someone said that a wandering Taoist priest had brought a young lady back. After another chaos, everyone gathered in the front yard.

Madam Xiang hugged Yuebai and called her her darling. The fear of losing and regaining her child made her cry. After all, she was a lady from a prominent family. After a while, she came to her senses and looked at the young man next to her. She thought he was an old Taoist priest, but she didn't expect that he was only twelve or thirteen years old. But he was Yuebai's savior after all, so Madam Xiang stepped forward respectfully and bowed.

"Thank you for saving our Yuebai. I wonder what your Taoist name is? Who is your master?"

Wang Chen turned aside to avoid the greeting, "Madam, there is no need to thank me. My Taoist name is Wang Chen, and my master is the abbot of Baiyun Temple, Jingxuzi."

Lin Xiang and Yue Hua looked at each other. They had heard of the abbot of Baiyun Temple. He was a famous master of Taoism. When they heard that Wang Chen had announced his name, they expressed their gratitude again.

"I heard that sister Yuebai is back!" Chu Ji was worried about Yuebai when he returned to his residence and did not rest. After waiting for a long time, he finally heard people talking about someone coming back. He hurried to the front hall and saw Yuebai standing in the middle as soon as he entered the door. He looked her up and down and saw that she had no obvious injuries. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Ji, I'm fine. This is the Taoist Wang Chen who saved me." Chu Ji followed Yue Bai's gaze. The little boy had an extraordinary temperament, but he instinctively didn't like him, so he didn't pay much attention to him, just nodded slightly.

Wang Chen also nodded slightly at him. Chu Ji might not know him, but he would never forget this face. He looked very similar to his father, and that face was the one his master had taught him to remember countless times.
