But the princess's subsequent behavior made his idea become extremely ridiculous. The princess's skills were definitely superior to his.

He believed that if he and the princess fought, he would definitely be defeated by the princess.

Anyone who sees a usually weak woman suddenly become extremely powerful and unable to defeat her will feel depressed.

Qingxuan felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about his own overestimation of his own abilities in wanting to protect the princess, but this emotion was only fleeting. He was the prince's personal bodyguard, and protecting the princess was his duty.

No matter how high the princess' husband is or how capable he is, it does not prevent him from protecting the princess's loyalty.

Besides, the master has already ordered him to stay with the princess and protect her safety, so he will naturally carry out the order without any compromise.

What Qingxuan didn't expect was that he hadn't found out where Li Mengyue lived before, so even if he saw Li Mengyue appear this time, the result would still be the same.

After all, Li Mengyue had a cheat that allowed her to teleport back home directly. Even if Qingxuan was taller, it was impossible for him to keep up with Li Mengyue, so Qingxuan was just stunned for a moment and couldn't find Li Mengyue.

Qingxuan found this unbelievable. Not only did he look for it himself, he also sent many people out to look for it, but just like before, he found nothing.

He didn't know how the princess had left without being noticed by him, but it was indeed true that something had happened, and it was somewhat out of his control.

So Qingxuan returned to Prince Chen's Mansion without any hesitation.

Xie Ruiyuan was bathing at this time, and Qingxuan was standing outside the screen. He knew that his master was bathing and did not like someone to serve him.

Xie Ruiyuan, who was leaning on the edge of the bathtub, learned from the footsteps that Qingxuan had returned, and he also guessed the result.

"Qingxuan, the princess has been found."

As expected, after Xie Ruiyuan finished asking the questions, Qingxuan knelt on one knee and apologized.

"Your Highness, I failed to do my best and failed to locate the Princess. However, I personally witnessed her kill the leader of the Royal Guards, and she was also aware of my presence, but then she disappeared in the blink of an eye. No matter how hard I searched, I could find no trace of her."

Qingxuan's answer was expected, and Xie Ruiyuan was not surprised at all.

After all, with Ayue's condition, it would be impossible for him to prevent others from finding her even if he did it himself.

"Qingxuan, it's not your fault." Xie Ruiyuan said lightly.

Qingxuan indeed heard that the prince did not blame him. Instead of feeling relieved, he felt a little frustrated.

As the first guard beside the prince, to be honest, he is still very confident.

But ever since he met the princess, he has always been deeply shocked. It is really hard for him to accept that he, a man of integrity, is not as good as a weak woman. But the facts are there, and he has no choice but to accept it.

Li Mengyue didn't know that the person hiding in the dark was Qingxuan. She just felt that the breath was very familiar, and he had no ill will towards her and would not pose a threat to her.

Of course, taking a step back, even if the other party wanted to attack her, she was confident that she could spare his life.

If worst comes to worst, she can just disappear out of thin air and hide in space.
