After a night of tossing and turning, the sun finally rose the next day.
As usual, Song Yu left the Imperial Palace for morning court, but he was no longer as excited as he usually was. Instead, he appeared extra cautious, which was somewhat similar to being a thief.
Just then, Ru Cheng, who was originally guarding the courtyard, saw the sneaky figure not far away.
He rushed forward, but unfortunately, his sword was cold. Before he could pull it out, he scolded," Where did this little rascal come from? How dare he trespass into the Imperial Residence!"”
He was completely stunned because when he saw the person's appearance clearly.
She immediately wanted to cut off the root of her tongue. It was none other than Song Yu.
However, Song Yu was not angry. Instead, he was shocked by him. "Shh!" Keep your voice down…"
Lower your voice? Her sneaky behavior and her hesitant look. Could it be that she had caused some trouble again and was afraid that the Empress would come and ask her?
However, he had been in the Imperial Residence all this time and had never heard that the Empress's people had come.
"Your Highness, what happened to you?" After thinking for a moment, Ru Cheng asked in confusion.
Nothing. What could she do? He just wanted to return to his own courtyard without anyone noticing and not alarm the Northern Qi Princess, Xiao Fengtian.
Unfortunately, before she could say this, she heard a clear voice." Fourth Prince, have you returned to the residence?”
Ru Cheng turned around and said respectfully,"Your subordinate greets the Imperial Consort."”
Seeing this, Xiao Fengtian waved his hand, indicating for him to skip the formalities. Then, he moved the golden lotus and walked in front of Song Yu. "Fourth Prince, tomorrow is Northern Qi's Ten Thousand Buddha Festival." Whether it was the imperial grandson, young master, or the royal family, it was a custom for them to go to the temple to offer incense. I wonder if I can also go to the temple to offer incense tomorrow?”
She was shocked. She thought that Xiao Feng was going to pursue the matter from yesterday.
So it was for this.
Song Yu immediately heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile,"Go. Since Northern Qi has such a custom, this prince will naturally not stop the princess.”
It was not a big deal. After saying that, Song Yu did not forget to add,"Princess, please bring more people with you.”
After saying that, Song Yu turned around and was about to leave. After all, she was not willing to have too much contact with the Northern Qi Princess. Who knew when she would remember what happened last night? He was going to find her and punish her.
Moreover, Xiao Fengtian was a woman and a real princess. Then she should avoid it.
However, Song Yu did not want to interact with him, but the other party did not think so. Xiao Fengtian stepped forward and blocked her way.""Fourth Prince, why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that you have official business to attend to?”
Official business? What official business could she possibly have?
Nanyue was prosperous and the people were peaceful. The Emperor was in his prime, so there was really nothing for her to worry about.
"Yes, there are indeed some urgent official matters to deal with.”Song Yu lied in all seriousness.
Who would have thought that the Northern Qi Princess would not be angry? Instead, he smiled and said,"Oh, tomorrow then." Is the Fourth Prince busy tomorrow?”
Tomorrow? He couldn't possibly be busy today and busy tomorrow.
Song Yu did not have time to think about it and replied casually," I'm not busy tomorrow. I'm just in a hurry today."”
Originally, no matter what she said, she just wanted to get away as soon as possible. He never thought that she would finally get away today. However, he received an even more grievous news because of the Northern Qi Princess. "That's good," she said with a smile."Then I hope that the Fourth Prince will accompany me to the temple tomorrow to offer incense."”
What? After hearing it clearly, Song Yu wanted to reject it at first.
However, Xiao Fengtian seemed to have seen through her thoughts and said,""Fourth Prince, I've just arrived at the Southern Mountains, and I'm not familiar with the place. If I don't have you by my side, I'll feel uneasy. In addition, the prince had nothing to do tomorrow. You won't refuse such a small request, right?”
She had already said everything, so how could she refuse?
"No, it's such a reasonable request. How could I refuse?" Song Yu replied with a dry smile.”
"Then this concubine will have to thank Fourth Prince.”Xiao Fengtian bowed and left with a smile on his face.
She smiled, but Song Yu wanted to cry.
What was going on? The person who was afraid to avoid it was doing well now. Would there be a sudden gust of wind tomorrow, and they wouldn't even be able to leave the house?
"Your Highness, even if it rains. You're going in palanquins, so what if you have?”Gingko was very honest and interrupted her whimsical thoughts.
"So, are you gloating?”Song Yu said unhappily.
Today was really not a good day for her. Did she not look at the almanac when she went out?
Seeing her expression, Yin Xing quickly changed her tone." Your Highness, don't be angry." This servant only wanted to make you happy. Besides, it was just a trip to the temple. It's not a big deal, Your Highness. Don't worry.”
Could it be that she still dared to act recklessly in a place illuminated by the Buddha's light?
It was obviously impossible.
Yin Xing thought about it honestly and felt relieved. But things were really that simple. However, Song Yu felt that this was not the case. For some reason, she had a bad feeling.
Of course, Song Yu hoped that he was overthinking.
The next day, they set off to the nearest Fuguang Temple to offer incense. The temple was chosen by Song Yu. He chose this place because it was close. Secondly, it was because the incense was flourishing here.
To put it simply, it was safer with more people.
However, what Song Yu did not expect was that this situation did not happen in the temple at all. Instead, it happened on the way. In order to save time, they chose a shortcut. He did not expect that this shortcut had a problem.
Looking at this masked man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Song Yu was stunned. He immediately turned his gaze to the Northern Qi Princess, Xiao Fengtian. She did not expect Xiao Fengtian to be even more shocked than her.
However, her reaction was not slow.
Seizing the opportunity, he pulled Song Yu and broke out of the encirclement. The two of them ran wildly for who knows how long.
In the end, Song Yu couldn't run anymore and said out of breath,"Um, I-I really can't run anymore. Why don't we rest here?"
"We can't rest! Can't you see? The group of people just now had killed each other with their weapons. Their attacks were extremely brutal. It was obvious that they were not ordinary people.”At the crucial point, the Northern Qi Princess paused and changed her words.
Song Yu was already suspicious of her, and now it was even more so.
" Princess Beiqi," he said," it seems you know them quite well." Could they be…"
There were some things that she didn't need to say clearly. She said yesterday that she wanted to burn incense. Today, they had met a villain. One had to know that it had been more than half a year since they transmigrated to the Southern Mountains Country. Not to mention a masked killer, they had never even encountered a petty thief.
Why did he meet her the moment he met her?
