The Regent Princess has run away again

You walked back and forth in front of the bed, glancing at Nangong Ye from time to time, still chattering non-stop.

Xue Zhiyu rubbed her temples, and finally she could no longer bear it.

"Can't you just shut up? You're as annoying as a fly. If you're so free, why don't you go to the inn where I'm staying and tell my maid so that she won't worry."

"But why hasn't he woken up yet?"

"Please, this is not an elixir. It is impossible for me to wake up immediately after taking it. There must be a time."

After hearing what she said, You suppressed his impatience, stopped, looked at Xue Zhiyu and said, "Then I'll take a message for you, and you help me take care of him."

Xue Zhiyu nodded and roughly told the location of the inn.

"My maid has never seen you. Show this to her."

After You made a note of it, he took the jade pendant handed to him by Xue Zhiyu and walked out of the courtyard without looking back.

Because he was worried about his master's condition, he didn't dare to waste time on the road and soon arrived at the inn.

Sure enough, when Xiaoqiu woke up and saw that the bed was empty, she was terrified. She was about to go downstairs to ask the shopkeeper if he had seen her young lady.

I just happened to run into You who was about to go upstairs.

Xiaoqiu didn't recognize the man in front of her and prepared to walk away.

"You are the princess's maid, right? The princess asked me to tell you that you don't need to worry about her. She will be back soon."

Hearing the man say this, Xiao Qiu stopped and asked anxiously: "Where is my young lady? Can you take me there?"

You refused without thinking: "I'm sorry, but you can rest assured that I will definitely send the princess back safely."

Xiaoqiu frowned, not knowing whether she should believe the words of the man in front of her.

Seeing that she looked uneasy, You took out a jade pendant from the cloth bag he carried with him.

The jade pendant is made of top-grade mutton-fat jade with fine and lifelike textures. A word "Yu" is engraved on the back of the jade pendant.

Xiaoqiu took it and recognized at a glance that it was the young lady's jade pendant, and she felt a little relieved.

"When will the young lady be back?"

You thought about it and answered truthfully: "I'm afraid I can't answer you that."

Xiaoqiu had no choice but to put away the jade pendant silently, said hello to You, and turned to go upstairs.

the other side.

Nangong Ye looked at the scene of the lantern show in front of him, and it seemed as if several lifetimes had passed.

Just when he was still wondering what was happening in front of him.

Suddenly, a beam of strong light shone on him and he subconsciously raised his hand to block it.

The man who was still in a coma moved his eyelids.

Xue Zhiyu sat by the bed and kept an eye on the man's condition. She couldn't help but complain in her mind: "Your pills haven't expired, have they?"

"..."

"But he looks like he's still alive, so he should be fine," Xue Zhiyu said to herself when she saw that 007 ignored her.

"Can't die."

This time, 007 finally couldn't help but speak. He looked at the man lying on the bed through Xue Zhiyu's eyes, with a complex look flashing across his eyes.

The man slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xue Zhiyu who was sitting beside the bed.

At this moment, the woman held her chin up, and her peach blossom eyes as bright as stars were staring at him without blinking.

"You're finally awake, are you feeling okay?"

Nangong Ye rubbed his eyebrows, supported himself on the bed with one hand and slowly sat up.

"Thank you for your help young lady, where is my friend?"

"So You is your friend. I asked him to deliver a message. He should be coming back soon."

Nangong Ye nodded slightly, then said: "Miss, would you mind getting me a bowl of water? I'm a little thirsty."

Xue Zhiyu agreed without thinking.

"Then you take a rest, I'll get you a bowl of water," he said, then stood up and walked towards the door.

Nangong Ye didn't look away until her figure disappeared.

A dark figure walked in silently, and the moment he saw Nangong Ye, he knelt on one knee and reported: "Do we need to arrest them?"

"No, keep a close eye on them. I need to know where they've been and who they've come into contact with."

"Yes."

After the black shadow finished speaking, it blended into the darkness and disappeared again.

When Xue Zhiyu was about to get the water back to the room, You was just about to go in.

"Your maid already knows, don't worry," You took the water from Xue Zhiyu's hand and then spoke.

"Your friend is awake, so I'll leave first."

"Just wait a moment."

You walked into the room and saw that the master had woken up. He subconsciously wanted to call the master, but when he thought of Xue Zhiyu still standing outside, he quickly changed his words and said, "You Min, how do you feel now?"

"I feel fine. Take this to the girl outside and thank her for her help," Nangong Ye took out a bag of gold beads from his sleeve and handed it over.

You put the water on the low table next to him, took the bag of gold beads, walked to the door and handed it to Xue Zhiyu, saying: "This is from my friend. Thank you for helping him this time."

Xue Zhiyu didn't bother to be polite with him. She weighed the weight in her hand and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

It seems that You's friend has a very wealthy family, as he gave a bag of gold beads.

"Then I'll go back first. You can always come to me if you need me next time," Xue Zhiyu said as she hung a bag of gold beads on her belt and tied it tightly.

After seeing Xue Zhiyu off, You turned around and walked into the room again.

Nangong Ye was looking at the moonlight outside the window, still recalling those scenes that seemed like a dream.

"Master, how dare Wen Rui attack you right now? He is too arrogant."

You's words brought Nangong Ye back to reality. A curve appeared on the corner of his mouth, as cold as the moonlight.

"What about the people from the Western Region?"

"We are entering the border of Yan Country. What does the master want them to do?"

"It should be interesting to let them know that the energy stone was stolen by the two princes," Nangong Ye turned his head and said casually.

When he was fighting with Wen Jingxuan, I saw the red crystal in his hand and felt that it looked familiar. Now I think, isn't this an energy stone unique to the Western Regions? How did it fall into their hands?

"Yes, I'll arrange someone right away," You obviously thought of this as well, with uncontrollable excitement on his face.

As soon as Xue Zhiyu opened the door, she saw Xiaoqiu's slightly resentful expression, like an abandoned young wife.

"Miss, you left me again."

"I saw that you were tired, so I didn't plan to wake you up. I even went out to see a doctor for a big money sponsor."

Xue Zhiyu took off the bag of gold beads and raised her chin proudly.

Xiaoqiu was used to the young lady saying some strange words from time to time. When she heard her say the word Jinzhu, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

With Xue Zhiyu's consent, he reached out and opened the bag to take a look.

I saw that the bag was filled with gold beads, each of which was as big as a thumb and very full.

"Miss, you are amazing. I have never seen so many gold beads in a bag."

"I'll give you a few. I can't use them all anyway," Xue Zhiyu said nonchalantly.

Xiaoqiu quickly shook her head and said, "This is what the lady deserves. I didn't do anything, how can I take it for free?" As she spoke, she tied the bag tightly without even looking at it.

Xue Zhiyu deliberately put on a stern face, took out three gold beads from the bag, and stuffed them into Xiaoqiu's hands, "I want to give it to you, just accept it. If you don't accept it, I won't let you be my maid anymore."

"Miss, please don't chase me away. I...I'll just accept it." When Xiao Qiu heard that the young lady was going to chase her away, she bit her lower lip and had to carefully put the gold beads in her hand into her small purse.

Seeing that she accepted it, Xue Zhiyu smiled.

"Do you want to go out for a walk? It's so lively outside."

"Then the young lady can't just leave without saying anything again."

"Okay, okay, I promise not to wander around."

.......

Wu Yi put the horse in the stable behind the inn, looked at Xuanwu who was worried, walked up to him and said, "Should we tell Lord Suzaku about this?"

After returning from Yuzhou Kingdom, Xuanwu could be said to have mixed feelings. It was indeed a good thing to know that the leader was still alive, but the whereabouts of the leader was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and he had no clue at all.

"She has the right to know. Besides, her leader had contact with her the day before he disappeared."

Wu Yi was somewhat surprised by his words, but thinking about the current situation in the Western Regions, he asked, "Do I need to send a message to Lord Baihu?"

Xuanwu pondered for a moment and waved his hand.

"No need. Baihu is easily impulsive. If you tell him rashly, he will probably rush to Yan Country tomorrow."

Among the four guardian gods, Azure Dragon often stays indoors and refuses to see anyone except the leader; White Tiger has a bad temper and is easily impulsive and cannot keep secrets.

Even so, with them in charge, the people from the Western Regions would not dare to make any drastic moves.

"Cuckoo!"

Xuanwu struck in the direction where the sound came from.

He heard a sound as if something had fallen, and when he walked over to take a look, he found that it was a pigeon.

He was sent to death by Xuanwu's palm just now.

"Sir, this is a carrier pigeon," Wu Yi picked up the pigeon and took the note off the pigeon's leg.

Xuanwu took the note and glanced at its contents. His amber eyes were filled with rage. He held the note tightly, as if he was holding a person.

"Go, check who those people from the Western Region have had contact with recently, and bring him here. I want to interrogate him personally."

"Yes," Wu nodded, and seeing Xuanwu's expression, he couldn't help but become serious.

After Xuanwu finished speaking, the anger in his eyes instantly dropped to freezing point.

Not long after the leader disappeared, they could no longer bear it. It seemed that he had to clean up the mess for the leader.
