The weak prince's queen

Chapter 188 Departure

It was still early that morning, but Chu Xiyue had already woken up from her sleep. She quickly rolled over and got out of bed, her movements light and smooth.

After washing up, Chu Xiyue changed into a light casual outfit that was well-cut and easy to move around in. Then, she carefully tied up her waterfall-like hair and secured it with a jade hairpin, looking both refreshed and capable.

After everything was packed up, Chu Xiyue turned to look at the maid who had been waiting by her side for the past few days. This maid appeared to be caring for Chu Xiyue, but in fact, she was their spy.

Chu Xiyue stared at the maid expressionlessly, her tone calm but with a hint of coldness, and she slowly said, "Go call the prince over..."

The maid was delighted when she heard this and quickly responded, then turned and left with brisk steps. Not long after, footsteps were heard from afar, and Xiao Zixuan walked into the room with a smile on his face.

"Miss Lin, I wonder why you are looking for me so early?" Xiao Zixuan asked with a smile.

Chu Xiyue glanced at him and answered directly: "I've thought it through. I'll take you to find the treasure today." After that, she reached out and picked up the exquisite box on the table, and pretended to walk out the door.

Seeing this, Xiao Zixuan hurriedly said, "Okay, in that case, let's set off immediately." As he spoke, he noticed that Chu Xiyue was having some difficulty holding the box in her arms, so he turned around and signaled to the maid who had just spoken, asking her to come forward and help.

However, Chu Xiyue refused without hesitation. She frowned and said, "I don't want her. I want someone else. Dong'er doesn't like her."

Xiao Zixuan was slightly stunned after hearing this, then nodded and agreed readily: "Okay, then gather all the maids in the East Palace and let Miss Lin choose."

Not long after, a dozen maids suddenly appeared in front of Chu Xiyue. They were all graceful and pretty, and they were neatly arranged there, like a beautiful landscape.

Chu Xiyue's eyes quickly swept over the maids, and suddenly, she caught sight of a familiar figure. At that moment, a surge of ecstasy surged in her heart, but she controlled her emotions well and did not let this joy show on her face.

Instead, she walked around among the maids as if nothing had happened, sometimes stopping to look carefully, sometimes shaking her head in dissatisfaction and walking away. After repeating this many times, she finally stopped beside the maid with a familiar figure.

She looked the maid up and down, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said softly: "Well, let's take her. I think she is quite attractive." As she said this, her eyes glanced at the maid intentionally or unintentionally, and a trace of imperceptible cunning flashed in her eyes.

Xiao Zixuan, who had been standing nearby observing all this, didn't notice anything unusual. He nodded, expressing his approval of Chu Xiyue's choice, and said, "Well, in that case, I choose you. Go and help Miss Lin move those boxes onto the carriage."

After hearing Xiao Zixuan's order, the chosen maid hurriedly responded respectfully: "Yes, Your Highness!" Then, she quickly stepped forward and carefully took the exquisite brocade box from Chu Xiyue's hand.

Seeing this, Chu Xiyue nodded with satisfaction and said to everyone with a smile: "Okay, let's set off now without further ado."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zixuan's heart surged with joy, a brilliant smile breaking out on his face. He was full of energy and high spirits, waving his arms quickly and methodically as he began issuing a series of precise commands. Under his command, everyone moved in unison, like well-trained soldiers.

A maid cautiously reached out and gently grasped Chu Xiyue's slender, graceful arms. Chu Xiyue nodded in thanks, then gracefully stepped onto the carriage with delicate lotus steps. Every movement she made was graceful and charming, like a dancing fairy descending to earth.

Xiao Zixuan followed suit, showing no sign of weakness. With his nimble figure and graceful movements, he leaped onto the carriage like a breeze. As the two of them settled into their seats, the vast procession slowly began to move forward like a long dragon, raising a cloud of dust as it headed towards its destination.

At the same time, at the end of another road, a spy was galloping towards them. When he got close, he dismounted and knelt on one knee to report to Xiao Yichen: "Your Highness, the palace convoy has set off!"

Xiao Yichen's face was as gloomy as water. He nodded slightly and replied, "I understand. Pass on my order and have the brothers make all preparations. They must remain highly alert and wait for my signal at any time. Once the time is right, take action immediately!"

After saying this, he looked towards Chu Xiyue with a determined gaze, thinking to himself, "Xue'er, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles you encounter, I will definitely rescue you from this predicament!"
