"You don't need to know this. I called you here today to discuss whether we should fight or make peace. Say something!" Xue Lin glanced at the three of them.
"This humble subject believes that peace is the most important thing at the moment.”Chang Yufei and Yin Yicui said. Only Zhen Xiaowan didn't say anything. Xue Lin asked her,""What does Minister Zhen mean?"
"I think we need to figure out what this means first." How? If the losses were too great, it would be better to fight.”
Yin Yicui and Chang Yufei were bombarded by his words. "What are we going to use to fight them?”
This sentence stopped everyone.
He was back to this problem. Yes, what could he use to fight with them?
After that, Xue Lin left Yicui Yin alone and said,""If anything happens in the palace, remember to keep an eye on General Ji's every move. If she has any intention of leaving the palace, capture her first. In addition, no matter what happens, you must ensure the safety of the entire country as your first priority.”
"This is this lowly official's duty, and I will not disappoint you.”
"That's good." Xue Lin changed the topic and suddenly asked," By the way, General, you should start a family. As long as it is not a minister or a powerful figure in the imperial court, you can choose any of the women in the Feng Kingdom. I will arrange a marriage for you.”
Yin Yicui was furious. He looked at her and said,""This lowly official did have someone that I liked before, but she has already abandoned me, so I will no longer trust any woman.”
" You don't have to defeat everyone with just one stick," Xue Lin said embarrassedly. There are still many good people in the world. Since you two…uh, are not fated, then don't think about her anymore and find a better one.”
"Not fated? Your Majesty, you actually said that you are not fated? Then, what was better? But in this lowly official's heart, there is no place for a second person. Emperor, what do you think we should do?”
"This…Uh, in that case, let's go find her! With your current status and identity, I believe she won't dare to abandon you again. If she dares to abandon you, you can lock her up in prison. How about that?”Xue Lin joked.
"It's useless." Yin Yicui stared at her and said," Because she's gone.”
"What?"
"Your Majesty, didn't you hear it? Her name was Xue Lin, but she was no longer around.”
Xue Lin had a lot on her mind the whole day. She slept very late at night. First, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. The image of Yin Yicui's lonely face kept appearing in her mind, especially when she said " she's gone ". It made her heart ache, so much so that she wanted to cry. She finally stopped thinking about him, but the matter of Liyuan bothered her again. She had no choice but to pull Ji Xuan to tell her about the things in the school. She only fell asleep in a daze when it was late at night.
Not long after the two of them fell asleep, there was a strange movement outside the window. Ji Xuan opened his eyes alertly. The eyes of martial artists were extremely sharp in the dark. A black shadow first looked outside the window and then quickly disappeared into the darkness. Ji Xuan didn't dare to delay and turned around to chase after him. At first, he could still keep up with the black shadow, but the further he went, the harder it became to get close. That person must be very skilled in martial arts. He ran without a sound and disappeared like a ghost.
How did this person disappear just like that? What was his motive? In the entire palace, not a single guard was alerted. Then…not good, Xuexi was still alone in the room! Ji Xuan quickly rushed back, but he was stunned when he reached the door. As expected, she was no longer on the bed!
Lure the tiger away from the mountain? How brilliant! Good skills! Then who could it be? He was probably the only one in the world who could come and go freely in the Feng Nation's Imperial Palace.
"Men!" Ji Xuan shouted," Did you see the Emperor go out just now?”
"No…no!" The two guards seemed to have just woken up from a dream. They looked at the bed again and saw that there was only an empty blanket left. Only then did the two of them realize the seriousness of the matter. They asked in horror," What happened?”
"What are you doing?" Ji Xuan was furious. He actually let the emperor be kidnapped! Each of you will receive a hundred military batons! Also, if you dare to leak a word about tonight's matter, you'll be exterminated!”
After Ji Xuan finished speaking, he ran all the way to the Mystic Phoenix Palace to find Ziqing. The palace door was closed and Ziqing was already resting. He directly jumped over the wall and went through the window to Ziqing's bed.
Ziqing woke up from her dream and saw Ji Xuan standing in front of her. She was stunned for a long time before asking,"Why didn't you accompany the emperor to come here in the middle of the night?”
Ji Xuan knelt in front of the bed and bowed his head.”
"What?" Ziqing narrowed his eyes and sat up, grabbing Ji Xuan's collar." How could it be gone?" Did you go anywhere else?"
This was the first time Ji Xuan had seen Ziqing so angry. In his impression, Ziqing had always been aloof, cold, and never angry. It was obvious that he cared about Xuexi to the extreme. "ChenQie has already checked.”
"Are you trying to say that she was kidnapped? How was this possible? How did so many guards and assassins enter the palace? How can we escape?" Ziqing didn't believe it.
"This, ChenQie does not know."
"Search!" Zi Qing said decisively," Seal the palace gates and gates immediately. Search every inch of the palace carefully. I don't believe that assassins can grow wings."”
Ji Xuan said dejectedly," I'm afraid we won't be able to find him. The person who came seems to be from…Liyuan."”
"What is it? How could it be him? How did he get here? "How is that possible…" Zi Qing's face was ashen as he sat on the spot and muttered.
"What should we do now?" Ji Xuan reminded.”
What should he do? Yes, the thing that he was most afraid of had finally happened. What should he do? Ziqing thought for a while and jumped up from the bed. She put on her clothes and said to Ji Xuan,""This must have something to do with Li Qi. Even if he doesn't, he must know something. Let's go find Lady Zhen and trick Li Qi into coming here.”
"That's for the best."
The two of them hurriedly knocked on Zhen Ze's door. When Zhen Ze, who had just been woken up from his dream, saw the fierce gaze of the person who came, he was so scared that he cowered. He only knew how to nod to their questions and instructions. The next morning, Zhen Xiaowan and Li Qi rushed to the palace after receiving Zhen Ze's message. When they entered Chenhuan Palace, the doors were closed and a group of guards surrounded them.
"What's going on? Zhen Xiaowan was confused when she saw that Xue Lin was replaced by Ziqing. She narrowed her eyes and asked," Where is the emperor?" Where did the emperor go?"
"BenGong will have to ask you and your husband about this.”Zi Qing stared at Li Yu with a dark face," Li Yu, has your master been looking for you recently? Where did you conspire to abduct the emperor? Let me tell you, you'd better tell the truth. Otherwise, your wife and your unborn child will be implicated.“
Zhen Xiaowan was shocked. She looked at Ziqing suspiciously and asked,"Your Highness, what are you talking about? The Emperor had disappeared? How could this be? How was that possible? Li Qi, you, explain to me what is going on!”
"I didn't know at all! Xiao Wan, I'm with you every day. I've never been anywhere, so where have I seen His Lord?”Li Qi argued.
"Is that so?" Zi Qing snorted coldly." I don't believe that Li Yuan didn't contact you! Should I bring Wang Fu to confront you? Li Qi, you better tell the truth or don't blame me for being merciless!”
" This…" Li Qi seemed to be deep in thought. After a while, he said," Your Highness, is the Emperor really missing?" Have you searched the entire palace? Please don't misunderstand, I just want to say that there is a secret passage in the palace that leads to the outside of the city. I wonder if Your Highness knows about this?”
Ji Xuan immediately dismissed the guards and placed his knife on Li Qi's neck,""How did you know? Where was the entrance to the secret passage? Tell me quickly!"
"This…this secret passage might not even be known by the current emperor. That was more than fifty years ago. That year, an imperial concubine who had left the country and fled to the Feng Country while pregnant had entered the palace through that secret passage. It was only later that he found out that the imperial concubine was the princess of the Feng Kingdom, the mother of the late Emperor Xue Yao. The country ruler came to search for his concubine several times in a hurry and finally found that secret passage. In that case, Your Highness should understand, right?”
Was that so? No wonder Li Qi could come and go freely in the palace. It was because of this mechanism!
"Cut the crap and lead the way!" Ji Xuan tightened his grip. Zi Qing didn't say anything and followed closely behind.
He had a very uneasy sleep. He seemed to be moving in his daze. In his dream, he passed through a long dark passage, just like the scene when he fell into that mysterious cave at the back of the mountain. He didn't know how long he had walked before he walked out of the cave. There was light in front of him. In front of him was a dense forest.
She stretched her aching limbs and was surprised to find that the bed she was sleeping on was moving. No, there was the sound of horse hooves. What was going on? She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked around. An unfamiliar man's face came into view.
"You're awake? Princess Xue Xi." That person seemed very happy to see her.
Who was it? She searched through her memories for a while. This person actually looked familiar. He had an overly tough face, looked like he was 26 or 27 years old, and his eyes were as sharp as knives... Oh my god, could it be him? "Who are you? What was this place? What are you doing?" Although she had guessed the reason, she still wanted to be sure, so she asked three questions in a row.
