On this side, I ran away without caring about anything. On the other side, the palace servants who discovered the disappearance of the future Empress were in a panic, especially the palace servants of Chonghua Hall. The Empress had disappeared, and none of these lowly servants could escape punishment, including their personal servant Xiao Tao. They searched the entire palace and did not let go of any corner. They also asked the guards on duty last night, but they all said that they did not see the Empress, not even any suspicious people.
Helpless, Xiao Tao went to the Hall of Eternal Joy to report this matter to the Emperor. The Emperor Xuan Yuan suddenly stood up and asked in disbelief," What did you say?" The Empress is missing."
"Replying to the emperor, yes, last night, the niangniang said to go to bed early and asked the servants to leave. This morning, this servant went into the palace to wait on the niangniang and found that the niangniang was not there. The bedding was the same as last night and had not been touched at all. Even the niangniang's lion was not there. Usually, no matter where the niangniang went, the lion would sleep in the bedroom, so this servant guessed that the niangniang must have gone missing.”Xiao Tao told him the whole story.
The Emperor walked back and forth, thinking about where the moon had gone. At this time, Little Chun walked into the Hall of Eternal Joy with a memorial in his hand." Your Majesty, King Jing of the Northern Kingdom has sent someone to deliver a memorial.”
After reaching out to take it and flipping through it, the Emperor placed the memorial on the table." Last night, the Empress went missing. This morning, King Jing sent a memorial saying that his mother was critically ill and returned overnight. The two events are so coincidental.”
"Emperor, could it be that King Jing kidnapped the Empress at night?”Little Chun voiced out his guess.
"Regardless of whether it is true or not, I will get the empress back. Little Chun, pass down the order to have the royal guards gather at the palace gates and follow me to the northern kingdom.”The Emperor had already guessed Yue's whereabouts.
Little Chun hurriedly walked out of the Hall of Eternal Joy upon receiving the order. The imperial guards did not dare to be negligent after receiving the order. They got ready to set off as quickly as possible. The Emperor sat on the tall horse at the front. With a "ride", the cavalry marched towards the north in a mighty manner. Their speed was extremely fast.
At this moment, I still didn't know that the Emperor had already caught up. After a night of desperate escape, I finally arrived at the forest on the outskirts of the capital. I was tired and my horse stopped to rest. King Jing helped me off the horse. I rubbed my waist and walked around. Actually, my waist wasn't sore at all. With the self-healing system of the Blood Race, it was impossible for me to feel uncomfortable. However, I had to put on a show.
A few minutes later, the cloud slowly came to his feet and lay down. The bubble on his nose began to work again. It should be tired after flying for a night. There was a stream in the forest, so I came to the stream and squatted down. I held the stream with both hands to wash my face. It was cool and comfortable. I held it up and drank a few mouthfuls. It was sweet. The water in ancient times was really good. It was pure green without pollution. I took off my shoes and socks to soak my feet. Beside me, King Jing averted his gaze. Confucius said: do not look at the evil. The queen said: fart. What was there to be polite about?
King Jing said that they could not let their guard down yet, so after resting, they began to run as fast as they could. They could not even stroll around the few cities they passed in the middle. After buying dry rations and daily necessities, they immediately set off. They really could not live like this. The hard and dry buns and shaobing were not something people could eat. The scenery also passed in a flash. Only the night and barbecue were worth watching, but the unseasoned roasted chicken was really not much. They could eat it, and I did not eat a single bite. King Jing had persuaded me many times and promised to take me to a restaurant to have a good meal.
? After three days and three nights, we arrived at You City. King Jing said that once we left You City, we would be at the border. As long as we passed the border, we would be at the Northern Country and we would be safe. We could stay in You City for a while and have three hours to play. When I heard this, I really thanked the heavens that we could finally play.
? Thus, when I reached You City, I went straight to the stall. King Jing followed closely behind. The second cloud didn't go to the restaurant. I just needed to naively ask what it was and the stall owner would give it to me for free. Because I always asked the stall owner if it was a male. As for the female, with King Jing's wallet, it wouldn't be a problem.
He found that there were many people gathered in front of him. He squeezed to the front and saw a woman kneeling on the ground with a straw in her hair and a white cloth in front of her. I, Cailian, was born in a poor family. My father raised Cailian with great difficulty. Unexpectedly, a month ago, he fell ill. Cailian sold everything she had to borrow money to ask doctors to treat his father. In the end, she was unable to save him. My father passed away four days ago. Cailian no longer has the ability to send him off. She hereby sells her body. I hope that kind-hearted people will give her money. Cailian is willing to be a slave to repay my kindness.
So this was the legendary act of selling one's body to bury one's father. This Queen had caught up in the good show and looked around. When King Jing saw it, he asked," What is Miss Yue looking for?"”
"Bully, if someone sells their body to bury their father, there will be bullies who will snatch the women of the people. This is the law. Ah, it's coming." Seeing a young master leading his thugs over, I got excited and pulled King Jing further away.
The young master pushed away the person in front of him and pulled up Cailian with a fierce expression." You still want to sell yourself? Sell your ass! This young master bought you for one tael of silver yesterday. Let's go."”
Cailian's eyes were filled with tears as she said pitifully," I didn't sell it to you. I returned the tael of silver to you. You already have more than ten concubines at home. I won't sell it to you as a concubine."”
"Heh ~ It's your fortune that this young master has taken a fancy to you. Let me tell you, this young master will definitely buy it today. You have to sell it, or you have to sell it, even if you don't want to sell it.”The young master was so arrogant that he commanded his thugs to forcefully abduct people.
The crowd pointed at him, and there were also some who accused him of being a young master. However, no one stood up for the injustice. King Jing wanted to make a move, but I pulled him back and gestured for him to look at the restaurant opposite. A man came down from the restaurant, and after mediation failed, he used force to chase away the bully. Then, I handed a bag of silver to Cailian and flew back to the second floor of the restaurant. The good show of kidnapping a commoner girl ended, and the onlookers dispersed.
? When the man appeared, I hid behind King Jing and waited for him to return to the restaurant." Go, leave You City immediately."”
Although King Jing had doubts, he did not ask much. He quickly gathered his men and set off for the border. Because there were many passers-by, the horses were slow. When they were about to reach the city gate, King Jing asked," Miss Yue knows the person just now.”
" The Emperor's younger brother, the Nether King, is a chivalrous and righteous man. People in Jianghu call him the Nether Lord. I met him on the first day I came to the palace, but I haven't seen him since. I heard that he was invited by Jianghu people to solve a case. I didn't expect to see him here."”He nodded and said,"Yes, that hero who saved the damsel in distress is the Nether King. That's why I have to leave in a hurry. There's only one possibility for the Nether King to appear here, and that's to return to the palace to attend the coronation ceremony."
The city gate finally came into view. I was about to enter the border. At this moment, many soldiers ran out from both sides. The Emperor stood in the middle of the city gate, his eyes revealing warmth for the first time." Yue 'er, have you played enough? Follow me back to the palace."
I was silent because King Jing would definitely speak. As expected, King Jing replied," Emperor of the Southern Kingdom, Miss Yue doesn't like you. Why do you have to force her?"”
His eyes turned gloomy, and the Emperor's voice became deep." King Jing, aren't you afraid of causing a war between the two countries by taking away my Empress without permission?”
King Jing didn't say anything else. Clearly, this was his weakness. As expected of an emperor, he was very good at finding the opponent's fatal weakness. He would do a good job as an emperor.
"Yue 'er, come back to the palace with me and think about Xiao Tao.”The Emperor changed the way he addressed me and even threatened me with Xiao Tao because I was very good with the palace servants during that half a month in the palace, especially Xiao Tao. They were like sisters.
Her face sank. This Emperor actually dared to threaten me. I don't care about Xiao Tao's life at all, but this is a way out. As long as I walk down the steps, I can follow the Emperor back and give King Jing the title of being forced into a corner, so I won't hold it against him this time.
"King Jing, I appreciate your good intentions. Go back. I can only blame myself for being unlucky.”I dismounted and looked at King Jing. His face was filled with unwillingness, and his eyes were filled with self-blame and heartache. I smiled and turned to walk towards the man in the dragon robe.
