Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Bai Yichen took the emperor and left the palace like a gust of wind. When he reacted, they had arrived at a sanitary residence.

"Your Majesty, this is the Li residence, Commander Li's home." Bai Yichen saw that the emperor had some questions and said before he could speak, "Commander Li's home has been sealed off, and over 120 people, big and small, have been imprisoned."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor's brow furrowed, and a wave of emotion welled up in his heart. He gazed at the once prosperous mansion, now deserted, and a sense of desolation rose in his heart. Bai Yichen seemed to sense the Emperor's emotions and whispered, "Your Majesty, Commander Li's actions were not your wish. You need not blame yourself too much."

The emperor sighed and nodded. He knew Bai Yichen was right. But the thought of Commander Li's family suffering such a tragedy because of him made him uneasy. He turned to Bai Yichen and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Bai, I know you are capable. I hope you can secretly help investigate this matter and clear Commander Li's name."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yichen bowed and said, "Xue Yao must have made arrangements for this matter. After I meet with her and listen to her opinions, I will do my best to assist."

The emperor nodded, a hint of trust in his eyes. He knew that Xue Yao and Bai Yichen were both people of extraordinary ability and wisdom. Their cooperation would surely uncover the truth and clear Commander Li's name.

Not long after, Xueyao brought Princess Wan'er to the gate of the Li residence silently. She hid her figure so that no one could see her.

As she expected, the gates of the Li residence were sealed with two cross-seals, like two ruthless chains, tightly binding the Li family's fate. Xue Yao frowned slightly, feeling sorry for Commander Li and his family. However, this was no time for sentimentality; she had to quickly settle Princess Wan'er.

As for Commander Li and his family, if nothing unexpected happens, they are no longer in prison.

The more dangerous the place, the safer it is. She brought Princess Wan'er and quietly came to the backyard of Li's house.

Stepping into the backyard, a tranquil retreat seemed secluded from the world. Xueyao gently pushed open a seemingly ordinary door, yet it held a hidden secret, and led Princess Wan'er into a secluded chamber. This was once Commander Li's secret hideout, built to handle emergencies, and now served as Princess Wan'er's temporary haven.

The furnishings in the secret room were simple yet exquisite, clearly meticulously arranged. Xue Yao placed Princess Wan'er on a soft bed and pressed two acupuncture points on her.

Princess Wan'er woke up in a daze, and when she saw her surroundings, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. Xue Yao comforted her softly, "Wan'er, don't be afraid. We have left that haunted place. You are safe now."

Princess Wan'er's fear gradually dissipated upon hearing this, replaced by a deep sense of gratitude. She looked at Xueyao, her eyes filled with trust and dependence, "Sister Xueyao, thank you. I really don't know what I would do without you."

Xue Yao said softly, "Wan'er, there's no need to be polite between you and me. You can rest here first. I will find a way to inform your father Qin Ming and let him know your whereabouts."

Princess Wan'er nodded, her eyes gleaming with gratitude and anticipation. She knew that escaping that dark, dark chamber and regaining her freedom was already a blessing. Now, she hoped even more to see her father as soon as possible and tell him that everything was fine.

Xueyao saw the desire in Princess Wan'er's heart and wanted to find Qin Ming as soon as possible to reunite them. This was the greatest comfort and happiness for Princess Wan'er.

Just as Xue Yao was about to leave the chamber and send a message to Bai Yichen, she heard hurried footsteps. She was startled. Could someone have discovered the secret? She quickly drew the longsword from her waist and looked warily toward the entrance of the chamber.

However, when the door of the secret room was pushed open, the person who appeared in front of her was the person he wanted to contact.

Bai Yichen smiled in surprise when he saw Xueyao and Princess Wan'er. He quickly stepped forward and bowed, "Miss Xueyao, Princess Wan'er, are you all right?"

When Xue Yao saw Bai Yichen, her nervousness immediately dissipated. She nodded and replied, "We're all fine. Thank you, Mr. Bai, for your concern."

Bai Yichen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He turned to look at Princess Wan'er, a gentle glint in his eyes as he said, "Princess Wan'er, your father, Qin Ming, has learned of your whereabouts and is on his way. I believe you and your daughter will be reunited soon."

When Princess Wan'er heard the news, tears welled up in her eyes. She stood up excitedly and thanked him profusely, "Master Bai, thank you! Thank you for telling me this good news!"

Bai Yichen smiled and shook his head, saying, "Princess Wan'er, you don't have to be polite. This is what I should do."

Afterwards, Bai Yichen and Xue Yao discussed it and decided to wait for Qin Ming's arrival. They knew that although this secret room was hidden, it was not absolutely safe. Therefore, they had to remain vigilant at all times to prevent any accidents.

But for now, arrangements had to be made for Princess Wan'er to meet the Emperor. Since they were truly father and daughter, and the Emperor had personally sent troops to fetch Princess Wan'er and rescued her, Xue Yao felt it would be unreasonable not to allow them to meet.

As for whether they recognized each other, that was none of Xueyao's business.

After Xue Yao and Bai Yichen discussed it, they decided to arrange for Princess Wan'er to meet the Emperor.

"We need to be cautious in this matter. After all, Princess Wan'er left the palace when she was young, and the emperor has no impression of her at all. If we are not careful, complications may arise, which would be bad." Xue Yao said thoughtfully.

Bai Yichen nodded, indicating his agreement with Xue Yao's decision.

After thinking for a moment, Xue Yao turned to Princess Wan'er and said, "Wan'er, I want to tell you something. You're well aware of the current situation. Please don't get too excited after I tell you, okay?"

"What's the matter, Sister Xueyao? Just tell me." Now that everyone was in the palace, she could probably guess what Xueyao was going to say. She didn't know why, but despite all the suffering she'd endured in the palace these past few days, she still hoped nothing would happen to that person.

Sure enough, the next moment, she heard Xue Yao say, "Your father is waiting for you outside. He wants to see you. Are you willing?"

are you willing?

The person who brought her here didn't ask her that question at the time. If someone had asked her that question back then, she would have answered without hesitation, "No."

Hahahaha, ridiculous!

But she couldn't make things difficult for Sister Xueyao. She knew that Sister Xueyao was doing this for her own good.

Princess Wan'er's eyes were filled with mixed emotions. She longed to reunite with her father and live with Qin Ming's father, but she was also worried that her identity would bring trouble to her father.

emperor?

Want to meet?

Of course I have to see her. I must see her.

With the comfort and encouragement of Xue Yao and Bai Yichen, she finally nodded and expressed her willingness to meet the emperor.

Xue Yao heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this. She turned to Bai Yichen and said, "Mr. Bai, please take Princess Wan'er out first. I'll be back later."

Bai Yichen nodded in agreement, then took Princess Wan'er out of the secret room.
