Chapter 324 Why Would the Barbarian Emperor Not Want to See the Princess?
After nightfall, You Zhu and Bai Kou left Linlangxuan quietly.
You Zhu led the way in front and soon led Bai Kou to the door of the secret room.
Bai Kou looked at the entrance, her heart beating so fast for some reason, and she felt like she was about to discover some shocking secret.
"Come in." You Zhu said in a low voice.
Little Dumpling asked the stars at night, and they said that the Fire Feast would not come here tonight.
Bai Kou nodded and walked ahead.
Along the way, she felt her heart beating faster and faster, and felt that she was getting closer to some truth.
Finally, the two reached the end of the secret passage and entered the secret room.
Bai Kou saw the man locked there at first sight, and at first glance, she felt that the man was extremely familiar.
Without giving it much thought, she immediately ran forward and tentatively called out, "Lord Barbarian Emperor?"
Huo Xi, who was locked in chains, thought it was Huo Yan when he heard the footsteps, but now he realized that the person coming could not be Huo Yan, because the person coming was not alone.
He knew clearly that Huo Yan would never bring a third person here.
Hearing the call of "Lord Barbarian Emperor", Huo Xi had already guessed who the visitor was. He tried his best to control his emotions and not want to reveal any flaws.
He slowly raised his head, looked at the familiar face, smirked, and then repeated, "Master Barbarian Emperor, hehe, Master Barbarian Emperor."
Although Bai Kou didn't see the other person's face clearly, she was already sure of it at this moment.
She fell to her knees and said in a choked voice, "Lord Barbarian Emperor, why are you here? We all thought you were dead."
"I'm dead, hehehe, I'm dead..." Huo Xi continued to play the role of a qualified fool.
"Lord Barbarian Emperor, what's wrong with you? Don't you recognize me?" Bai Kou wiped her tears and said, "Lord Barbarian Emperor, please take a closer look. I am Bai Kou, the maid responsible for taking care of Princess Ling'er."
She became happier when she thought of Huo Ling'er. "If the princess knew you were still alive, she would be very happy."
"Princess, who is the princess?" Huo Xi looked at You Zhu and smiled foolishly, "Princess, are you the princess?"
You Zhu ignored him, took a few steps forward, and whispered to Bai Kou, "Are you sure... he is Ling'er's father, the former Barbarian Emperor Fire Seal?"
"Yes." Bai Kou wiped her tears and stood up. "Sixth Young Master, I can't be wrong. He is the Barbarian Emperor, the father of Princess Ling'er."
She found everything too unbelievable. "I didn't expect that he wasn't dead at all, but was imprisoned here by the current Barbarian Emperor, and... was tortured to the point of losing consciousness. This... is unbelievable."
"Indeed." Such a result surprised You Zhu.
He looked at Huo Xi again. The former king of a country was still pretending to be stupid, smiling at him and calling him princess.
"Okay, Bai Kou, let's go back first." You Zhu didn't want to stay any longer.
"Okay!" Bai Kou nodded, walked back to Huo Xi, and said softly, "Lord Barbarian Emperor, don't worry. We will definitely find a way to rescue you and reunite you with Princess Ling'er."
However, upon hearing these words, Huo Xi went completely crazy, shaking the chains on his body vigorously and shouting, "No, I don't want to go out."
Bai Kou was startled.
"Let's go first." You Zhu quickly pulled Bai Kou away.
Along the way, the two returned to Linlangxuan in silence. When they opened the door, they saw that Xiaotuanzi had woken up at some point and was sitting at the door waiting for them.
"How is it?" In fact, she had already asked Xingxing about the result in advance, and at this time, she just wanted to hear it again through the two people's description.
"It's the Barbarian Emperor." Bai Kou was obviously still very excited. "The imprisoned man is the Barbarian Emperor, the father of Princess Ling'er."
"Really?" Little Dumpling's eyes widened with joy.
Bai Kou nodded, then said with some disappointment, "However, he is no longer conscious. He doesn't recognize me, and it seems... he doesn't remember Princess Ling'er either."
"Not necessarily." You Zhu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
The two looked over immediately.
"I said, I don't think... he's crazy," You Zhu said. "I've seen him a few times before. He's just very quiet. He only reacts violently when I mention taking him away."
He said affirmatively, "So, he is not crazy. At least, not as crazy as he acted in front of Huo Yan and Bai Kou. He was acting."
"Why?" Bai Kou was completely confused. "Doesn't he trust me? If he had just recognized me, I could have brought Princess Ling'er with me. Doesn't he...even want to see the princess?"
You Zhu sighed helplessly, "You just said to rescue him, isn't his reaction intense enough? Don't you understand?"
"But..." Bai Kou didn't understand. She thought it was because Huo Xi was crazy, but if he wasn't crazy, why didn't he want to come out? Why didn't he want to meet the princess?
Huo Xi clearly loved Huo Ling'er so much.
"In short, don't tell Huo Linger about this for now." You Zhu whispered to the two of them.
He thought for a moment and added, "At least wait until we come up with a way to rescue him, or figure out whether he is pretending to be stupid or has some other problem, then we can tell Huo Ling'er."
"Sixth brother is right." Little Dumpling nodded in agreement, "Otherwise, the princess will worry too."
"I understand." Bai Ku also agreed. She couldn't help but say, "In fact, no matter whether the Barbarian King is really crazy or not, as long as he is still alive, the princess will definitely be very happy."
At this moment, she couldn't help but feel happy for Huo Linger.
"But Uncle Huo Xi is not dead. Does that mean everything Uncle Huo Yan said is false?"
The little boy looked at the two people with his big eyes, "Daddy and General Bai must be innocent, right?"
You Zhu nodded. "But this also proves that Huo Ling'er is really in danger in the palace. If she knew Huo Xi was not dead, then... I'm afraid Huo Yan would go crazy and imprison her as well."
These words obviously reminded Bai Kou and Xiao Tuanzi, and their faces instantly became a little ugly.
In this case, they cannot be in a hurry to tell Huo Linger about the matter. They must come up with a foolproof plan before telling Huo Linger.
"Okay, it's getting late, little Dumpling, go back to bed. Sixth Young Master, you should get some rest too."
Bai Kou clasped his fists solemnly and said, "No matter what the final outcome of this matter is, I thank you on behalf of the Barbarian Emperor and Princess Ling'er."
"No need to bother." You Zhu turned around and left indifferently, returning to his room.
Little Tuanzi immediately went over and tugged at the corner of Bai Kou's clothes, "Sister Bai Kou, have you forgotten that Uncle Huo Xi and Sister Princess are my sixth brother's relatives, so he doesn't need any thanks for everything he has done."
