Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

The next morning, in Fuguang Tower, the fake Situ Yue had already washed up and was preparing to head to Qingchuan Peak today according to Chu Qianyu's instructions yesterday.

Ming Zixi also came early at this time, walked up to her, took her arm and said kindly: "Sister Yue, are we going alone? Do you want to bring some more people? It will be safer this way."

Situ Yue resisted the urge to pull her arm out, and shook her head, saying, "No need. Bringing too many people will inevitably be conspicuous. I don't want others to know this. Let's go check it out first and see what's going on."

"Okay, Sister Yue is right. Shall we set off now?"

"Well. Now..."

Ming Zixi was just about to follow them forward when she noticed Situ Yue standing there without moving. She looked up and saw that she was pale with thin beads of cold sweat on her forehead.

Suddenly, he became nervous: "Sister Yue, what's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly look so bad? How about I help you go in and rest?"

Situ Yue waved her hand, squatted down and said, "Wait for me to calm down. These past few days, I've suddenly felt numb and painful all over my body. It will be fine in a little while."

"Have you seen a doctor? This doesn't seem right. Could it be that the poison you were infected with wasn't completely removed?"

Situ Yue didn't say anything, she just squatted down and buried her head in her legs. This lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour.

He raised his head weakly, his lips were pale, and his whole body was bloodless. Ming Zixi hurried forward to support him.

I only heard Situ Yue say: "Help me up, I will recover now."

"Okay." Ming Zixi raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears that had just fallen from worry, and quickly helped Situ Yue stand up.

With furrowed brows and red eyes, he looked at Situ Yue with a trembling voice, as if he was extremely scared: "Sister Yue, is it because the poison from last time has not been completely cleaned up yet? How come it's like this out of nowhere?"

Situ Yue took a deep breath and said slowly, "It's okay. Maybe it's the sequelae of the poison I was poisoned with before. It's okay. Let's go now."

"But..." Ming Zixi looked at her with worry in her eyes.

"It's okay. I know what I'm doing." Situ Yue turned around and looked at her.

"Let's go." After saying this, Situ Yue walked straight forward.

Ming Zixi had no choice but to quickly catch up.

The horses had already been prepared, and after the two went out, they jumped on the horses and headed towards Qingchuan Peak.

Qingchuan Peak is not far away. If nothing goes wrong, we will arrive there tomorrow morning.

Chu Jun's detour only delayed him for one day, and he would arrive around tomorrow morning.

Situ Yue and Ming Zixi arrived at the road where Chu Jun had to change his route because the road surface had collapsed due to rain in the end.

Situ Yue got off the horse and said, "Let the horse go back. We will cross over and buy horses when we reach the next town."

"Okay." Ming Zixi responded.

Then he looked at Situ Yue and asked, "Sister Yue, how do you feel now? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Situ Yue shook her head and said, "It's okay, I just feel a little stuffy in my chest occasionally. It doesn't matter, let's go quickly. The sooner we can find out the cause of my parents' death, the better it will be for them to rest in peace."

"But... Sister Yue, no matter how anxious you are, you should take care of yourself. We still have a lot of time, so we can find out the truth by slowly investigating."

Situ Yue looked at her hypocritical face and suppressed her inner discomfort. She walked up to her, patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "I know you care about me the most. But don't worry, after this visit, I will take a good rest for a while."

When Ming Zixi heard this, a hint of deepness flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled at Situ Yue and said sincerely: "As long as Sister Yue is willing to have a good rest and not be so tired, I will be satisfied. We have been walking for most of the day. Why don't we eat something to fill our stomachs when we come across a restaurant later?"

"Okay." Situ Yue nodded, turned around with a look of disgust on her face. She thought to herself that it was no wonder that the master didn't want to be with Ming Zixi. Maybe he was afraid that he would kill her.

Forget it, forget it, she will have to endure it for the sake of her master. Anyway, she won’t be able to jump around for a few more days.

The two of them used their Qinggong skills to climb over the rocks blocking the road and continued moving forward.

After walking for another hour, the two finally saw a restaurant. They had a simple meal, bought a horse in the next town, and then continued on their journey.

It was around midnight, and they were about to reach Qingchuan Peak in less than an hour. Ming Zixi said quickly, "Sister Yue, we're almost at Qingchuan Peak. Let's take a rest at the foot of the mountain. How about we continue our journey tomorrow?"

"Okay, that's what I planned too." Situ Yue quickly went ahead and didn't reply.

Chu Jun and the others had already arrived at the foot of Qingchuan Peak. They simply set up camp at the foot of the mountain and hunted some game for a simple meal.

Then began to rest.

However, according to the news, the bandits were now active in the west of Qingchuan Peak. So they stayed in the west direction and continued to move west tomorrow. If they were lucky, they might be able to find the bandits' traces.

Situ Yue and his companions will set out tomorrow and continue forward from the south for about twenty miles.

-

The next day.

Situ Yue and Ming Zixi had a simple breakfast and then continued on their way.

When we arrived at Qingchuan Peak, 20 miles south, we saw rolling hills and mountains surrounding it. It looked like a good place for Tibetans.

The trees in the mountains are lush and green, with layers of tall and short trees. The early morning breeze seems to be a little cool. The green leaves on the mountain dance with the wind. The sound of "shua shua" can be heard. It makes the forest have a sense of tranquility.

Ming Zixi looked around and said, "Sister Yue, this mountain range is so big, where should we start looking?"

Situ Yue was a little confused at this moment. The master didn't say the specific place, but just gave a general idea.

But I still gritted my teeth and was about to give it a go.

Then Ming Zixi shouted in surprise, "Sister Yue, look there and see if anyone has been there. It looks like there are traces of a pile of burnt matches."

This actually startled Situ Yue who was standing beside him. Then she frowned and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.

Only then did he look in the direction Ming Zixi was pointing.

There were indeed traces of someone having been there. Only then did Situ Yue understand why her master had said that that night. Ming Zixi would take her to where she wanted to go. It seemed that someone had already arranged everything here, waiting for her to jump into the trap.

Ming Zixi walked forward and pulled Situ Yue towards that direction. She looked forward and said, "It looks like the firewood has just been extinguished. If we had come a little earlier, we might have seen someone. It's a pity."

Situ Yue looked around at the ground and followed Ming Zixi's suggestion and said, "It's nothing. Fortunately, it has been raining recently. Look, the footprints on this muddy road are so obvious. We can always find it by following the footprints."

Ming Zixi's eyes lit up as if she had just seen the footprints. She looked at Situ Yue with admiration and said, "Oh, I would say it's Sister Yue. She's just more careful than me. So, shall we follow the footprints now?"

Situ Yue's mouth was a little stiff, and she nodded and said, "Let's follow the footprints."
