The Regent Princess has run away again

"Wu Yi!"

"Queyi, why is it you?" Wu Yi reined in his horse and turned back to look at the man who was running towards him.

Xuanwu, who was at the front, also stopped his camel. Seeing that the person coming was Queen Queyi, he thought he was here to persuade him to go back, so he directly refused, "If you want to persuade me to go back, forget it. I must go to Yuzhou Country."

Que shook his head and repeated Bai Nuolan's words exactly as they were.

Xuanwu pursed his lips for a long time without saying a word, with a complex look in his eyes. He would definitely find the leader. He didn't believe that such a powerful leader would go.

After Queyi conveyed the message, he winked at Wu and rode away on his horse.

"What's wrong?" Wu Yi rode towards Que Yi, feeling a little surprised that Que Yi called him alone.

Queyi glanced at Xuanwu not far away and said in a low voice, "Lord Suzaku asked you to keep an eye on Lord Xuanwu and try not to let him drink. Be careful of traps."

Wu Yi's face was solemn, his eyes couldn't help but look heavy, and he nodded in understanding, "I will definitely watch over it, please rest assured, Lord Suzaku."

Que Yi sighed and patted his shoulder, "Take care of yourself. You must be cautious and careful."

"Most definitely."

After Wu Yi finished talking, he rode back to the caravan and said, "Master Xuanwu, let's go."

"Ah."

Because Yan State was very close to Yuzhou State, the caravan arrived at the border town of Yuzhou State in no time.

After showing the visiting documents, he walked towards the palace unhindered.

Outside the palace gate, Yue'er saw the caravan from afar. Her face remained calm. She looked at Xuanwu, the leader, and said calmly, "Lord Xuanwu, you have come all the way here. The two princes have prepared a palace banquet. Please follow me."

The moment Xuanwu saw Yue'er, he felt inexplicably a little strange, especially the clothes she was wearing. If he remembered correctly, this was the dress worn by the women in the harem of Yuzhou Kingdom.

But he still believed that everyone would betray the leader, except Lingzhi.

Xuanwu got off the camel, Wuyi whispered a few words and followed him.

Passing through the heavy palace gate, Yue'er led the two of them around the front hall. Unknown flowers were blooming on the trees on both sides. The summer breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of dryness and floral fragrance.

Xuanwu was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery inside the palace. He just wanted to see the third prince as soon as possible.

Soon, I saw the three big characters "Fengya Hall" written in a flamboyant style on the plaque. I pulled aside the crystal bead curtain and saw a banquet already set up in the hall. The pleasant sounds of guqin and bells could be heard.

The second prince Wen Jingxuan and the third prince Wen Rui stood up to greet them. Wen Rui smiled and said, "You two should take your seats quickly. The drinks are ready."

Yue Er ignored the Third Prince and walked straight towards the Second Prince, "Second Prince, Yue Er will go back first."

"No hurry, sit here for a while."

"Okay," Yue'er said, and stood obediently behind the third prince.

After sitting down, Xuanwu couldn't wait to speak, "Third Prince, I heard that you have a way to find our leader. What is it?"

Wen Rui interrupted calmly, "I know that Master Xuanwu is anxious, I will definitely help you find the leader. You are tired from the journey, so you should fill your stomach first."

Xuanwu had no choice but to control his temper. Although he wanted to ask the leader to come back immediately, he knew that there was no time to rush. He nodded and said, "In that case, thank you for your hospitality."

Wen Rui glanced at the woman playing the zither beside him. She understood, stood up, picked up a bottle of wine and walked over, saying softly, "Master Xuanwu, this is a special fragrant wine from our Yuzhou country. Only distinguished guests can enjoy it."

"Sorry, our lord cannot drink alcohol," Wu Yi stretched out his hand to block the woman's wine bottle, but his eyes were fixed on the third prince sitting on the seat.

"Hurry up and leave. I will only hold you responsible for disturbing your pleasure!" Wen Rui glared at the woman, then smiled and said, "I am really sorry. I didn't know that your Excellency couldn't drink. Please forgive me."

Xuanwu waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care, "It's okay, the Third Prince means well, it's just that I can't drink." Although he didn't know why Wu Yi said that, he still went along with it.

........

Halfway through the palace banquet, Xuanwu asked casually, "Where did the Second Prince find such a beautiful woman?"

Wen Jingxuan raised his eyebrows, glanced at Yue'er behind him, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "You are talking about Yue'er, what a coincidence, she was picked up by me when I passed through the Western Regions, and I took her into the palace out of pity. Lord Xuanwu fell in love with her?"

Yue'er? Xuanwu's heart skipped a beat. It was clearly Lingzhi, but why didn't she react at all? This shock was infinitely magnified at this moment. He always felt that something was very strange about her.

"Hahaha, Third Prince, you are joking. I don't like to take away what others like."

"I thought you knew Yue'er. I thought she was alone and helpless, and she would be happier if she had some friends and relatives. Don't you think so, Yue'er?"

Wen Jingxuan put his arms around her waist, let her sit on his lap, and kissed her cheek affectionately.

Yue'er seemed to have gotten used to it. She leaned against Wen Jingxuan's arms and looked up at the man. Her lake-blue eyes were still as calm as water. "Yue'er only has you as her relative, Your Highness."

It was just a simple sentence, but to Xuanwu it sounded like thunder in disbelief. He clenched his hands into fists under the table, but on the surface he still couldn't see any flaws.

Wu Yi felt very uncomfortable. Was the person in front of him really the arrogant and confident Ling Zhi?

The meal ended with everyone having their own thoughts.

Wen Rui then asked, "I wonder if the adults have brought the things?"

Xuanwu didn't expect that the other party would want the Yin Fu so soon, but he deliberately cast a spell on it, so that it would not work even if he wanted to take it away by force.

"Can we really find the leader with this?"

Wen Rui pretended to be Xuanwu and thought for a while, then gave an ambiguous answer, "It does work, but it still depends on the power of the Yin Fu."

Wu Yi quietly held Xuan Wu's hand and said in their own secret language, "Be careful."

Xuanwu also silently replied in code, "It's okay, I cast a spell on it, so they can't use it even if they take it."

"Then I will trust the Third Prince this time. I hope the Third Prince will not let me down," Xuanwu said meaningfully, his eyes full of inquiry. He was too curious about what method the Third Prince would use to find the leader.

"nature."

Xuanwu then carefully took out half a piece of black jade from his sleeve.

When the black jade appeared, the two people sitting on the table narrowed their eyes, suppressing the excitement in their eyes. Wen Rui coughed a few times and said, "We need to borrow the Yin Fu to sense where your leader is. Wizard, come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in a black cloak walked in, holding a round crystal ball in his hand. He glanced at the Yin Fu in Xuanwu's hand and began to mutter something.

The crystal ball was transparent at first but gradually turned into dark purple.

Looking at the change in color of the crystal ball, Xuanwu was a little confused. Could it be that he could rely on this thing to find the leader?

At this moment, the cloaked man suddenly opened his eyes wide with horror in his eyes. A trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. The originally dark purple crystal ball suddenly turned back to transparent and an obvious crack appeared.

"What's wrong with the wizard?" Wen Rui asked with concern.

The man kept shaking his head and muttered to himself, "Strange, the King of the Underworld would actually intervene. This is very strange."

Seeing the man's appearance, Xuanwu guessed that it was most likely a failure. It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry I can't help you. I really can't find out where this person is. I just know he's still alive."

Although I don’t know where the leader is, knowing that she is still alive is the best news.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, wizard."

The cloaked man did not say anything. Instead, he looked at Xuanwu deeply, then turned and walked out of the hall.

"In that case, we will take our leave first."

"I'll have the palace servants escort you out."

"Then I'll trouble you, Third Prince," Xuanwu did not refuse and followed the palace servant who led the way out.

After everyone left, Wen Rui glanced at Yue'er who was sitting on Wen Jingxuan's lap. Seeing that she was still calm, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Second brother, your time bomb is still very dangerous. If she remembers it, it will be over."

"I picked up Yue'er, how could I remember anything?" Wen Jingxuan rubbed Yue'er's delicate fingers and looked at her lake blue eyes. Just like the ones he saw many years ago, he liked her very much.

......

During these days, 007 had been eating, sleeping, and reporting his daily life to that person. After all, Xue Zhiyu hadn't come to see him for a long time.

"007."

Hearing a familiar voice, a water mirror appeared behind him. 007 was so frightened that he hurriedly asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

"Don't let anyone find her, even those people from the Western Regions."

"Yes, my lord."

After 007 finished speaking, the water mirror disappeared.

On the other side of the water mirror, the man supported his forehead with one hand, closed his eyes and recalled something, with a curve at the corner of his mouth, with a hint of bitterness in it.

"Yu'er, I miss you so much."
