Chapter 1007 True Whereabouts

A life-threatening escape overnight.

By the time Ran Xiaoyu finally stopped and leaned against the wall to catch her breath, the sky had already turned pale.

It had been raining all night and it was slowly stopping at this time.

She let out a sigh of relief.

"Finally, we got rid of those people."

But when she thought about it, those people were really difficult to deal with. They followed her for a whole night. Although Ran Xiaoyu was skilled in martial arts and had agile footwork, she was not familiar with the terrain. In addition, it was raining, and she had a beautiful daughter on her back, so she couldn't use her full strength.

Those people, taking advantage of the geographical location and having a large number of people, surrounded and intercepted her.

If I hadn't persevered, I would have been caught that night.

It must be Prince Ning!

Whenever she thought of that face that always smiled at her, Ran Xiaoyu felt filled with anger. At this moment, she probably understood how the imperial concubine felt towards the emperor of the Neng Kingdom.

If she had the chance to meet him in the future, she really wanted to punch him in the face!

However, after taking a breath, she immediately noticed what was behind her.

Before, when she was running hard, she could still hear Xiao Xinping shouting excitedly behind her. After all, following her to climb walls and run across rooftops was a feeling that a child lying on the bed could not feel. So every time this happened, she was very happy. But later, she gradually could not hear her voice anymore.

You won't get hurt, right?!

Thinking of this, Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly opened her cloak and looked back -

A pink little face was resting on his shoulder, the chubby cheeks were pushed to one side, the little mouth was pouting, and the corners of the mouth were shiny with saliva flowing unconsciously.

This girl actually fell asleep!

How could she fall asleep after running so hard?

Ran Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing. She reached out and touched Xiao Xiaoping's chubby face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about sleeping. I'm here and I will definitely not let anyone hurt you."

After she finished speaking, she looked up and saw that she was parked in front of a temple in the suburbs.

Since Prince Ning has found me, I can no longer live in the city.

I can only rest here temporarily.

So, Ran Xiaoyu once again put on the cloak on the boat and gently covered Xiao Xinping who was sleeping soundly, then walked forward and knocked on the door of the temple.

On the other side, Zhu Xuan, who was also watching the pale sky gradually brighten the sky, had a face as gloomy as the night.

He turned his head: "What did you say?"

At his feet knelt the commander of the guards. Seeing his angry expression, he immediately bowed his head and said, "Please forgive me, Your Highness."

"With so many of you, you actually let her get away?"

“…”

"You actually let her get away?!"

The head guard lowered his head and dared not speak.

But he still complained in his heart: that woman is extraordinary, she is agile and more sensitive than many men. Moreover, you ordered that no one should hurt her in any way. This made everyone's hands and feet restricted and added many difficulties to the capture operation.

But of course, I can't say this out loud.

Zhu Xuan's face was gloomy. He gritted his teeth and kicked the man to the ground: "Useless thing!"

"Your Majesty..."

Just then, the maid Shuli arrived. Seeing that he was angry, she immediately stepped forward and flattered him, saying, "Don't pay attention to these people. Come sit with me and cool down."

"Get out of here!"

Zhu Xuan was feeling a little angry, and seeing her at this time made him even more annoyed.

"Your Majesty."

Shuli felt a little aggrieved. Her prince had always been elegant and graceful. How could he have treated her so rudely?

But now, Zhu Xuan had no intention of having any romance with her.

He originally had another plan. When he captured her, he would also get Princess Xinping, who could control the imperial concubine and even the emperor. This way, he would be sure to win.

But last night, the enemy was alerted.

Now, Ran Xiaoyu ran away, and took Princess Xinping with her.

It will be difficult to find her again.

Besides, the emperor's carriage is about to arrive. If he still can't find them and is instead found by the court, it will be difficult.

At this moment, a servant came in from outside and said, "Your Highness, Shi Changshi is back."

"oh?"

When Zhu Xuan heard that Shi Yiru was back, his eyes lit up.

He immediately asked everyone around to leave. The girl also shouted and could only retreat in grievance.

Then I saw Shi Yiru walking in from outside.

He was also exhausted, obviously having traveled all night. Even though he was wearing a cloak, it was soaked through, and his shoes, socks and clothes were covered in mud.

He walked in and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty."

"Yiru, get up."

Zhu Xuan raised his hand and immediately asked, "You came back first?"

"Yes," Shi Yiru said, "I told the people in the court that I had to go back to Changqing City to help the prince arrange the reception, so I rushed back."

"Well, how's the Emperor doing? Will he be arriving in two days?"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Emperor won't be arriving in Changqing City in the short term."

"What?"

Zhu Xuan was stunned: "How could that be? Didn't he already leave?"

"They did set out, but halfway through, they suddenly issued an order to inspect various places along the way."

"ah?"

"Now, the imperial carriage has turned around and is heading towards Crane City."

"how so?"

Zhu Xuan was a little surprised.

Originally, the string in their hearts was already taut, waiting for Zhu Feng's arrival, and they were ready to play a song to break the formation in Changqing City, or more likely, the sound of killing.

But suddenly, he changed his tune.

The imperial carriage actually went somewhere else.

Could it be that Zhu Feng discovered something?

As soon as he thought about it, he immediately denied the idea - it was impossible. According to his previous speculation, Zhu Feng would not trust the people and things around him too much now. The only person he could trust was his brother.

Therefore, what he should do now is to meet his brother as soon as possible.

Why did the imperial carriage suddenly change route?

Zhu Xuan immediately asked, "Did anything happen during the journey?"

Shi Yiru said, "Because the emperor was accompanied by the Empress and Ye Zheng, I was unable to get close to them, so I don't know what exactly happened."

“…”

"In fact, during this period, starting from the Imperial City, there are very few people who can get close to the Emperor."

“…”

"Furthermore, the Emperor's behavior is becoming increasingly strange and difficult to understand."

Hearing this, Zhu Xuan raised his eyebrows again: "Could it be that my brother has met with another accident?"

When Shi Yiru heard this, his expression suddenly became serious.

"Your Highness means—"

Zhu Xuan pondered for a moment and immediately said, "Send a group of people immediately to follow the emperor all the way. We must find out the emperor's true whereabouts!"

"True whereabouts?"

When Shi Yiru heard these four words, he was suddenly startled: "Your Highness means..."
