Xiao Duye said depressedly: "No need, I have been dismissed by my father and am no longer the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard. I can't send anyone in even if I want to."

The middle-aged man smiled and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to be reinstated?"

Xiao Duye looked at him suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

The middle-aged man said slowly, "Your Highness, Princess Hui'an is missing, and the whole capital thinks it was done by Qin Canglan's granddaughter. In order to clear the suspicion, that girl will definitely come out to look for Princess Hui'an."

"She?" Xiao Duye expressed his doubt.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Your Highness still doesn't understand her."

Xiao Duye couldn't help but recall the night when Emperor Jingxuan was poisoned and Su Xiaoxiao kicked him back several steps.

Although I don't want to admit it, that little fat girl is indeed a little different.

"So what?" Xiao Duye asked.

The middle-aged man said: "So we will catch her."

Xiao Duye said nonchalantly, "If I catch her, I can get my job back. There is no evidence that Hui'an was abducted by her. My father said he wanted to punish her, but it was just an excuse to control the Qin family. He won't really do anything to her. Besides, she saved my father."

The middle-aged man smiled again: "I'm not referring to Your Majesty. Your Highness, you don't know that Su Daya and Wei Ting have already married each other in the countryside."

Xiao Duye asked curiously, "The countryside? What countryside?"

The middle-aged man narrated: "The one who was practicing in the Huguolong Temple with his hair untied was the fake Wei Ting. The real Wei Ting went to Qingzhou, where he was hunted down by Xiao Chonghua. Afterwards, he was seriously injured and was saved by Su Cheng, and became their family's son-in-law."

"How is that possible?" Xiao Duye didn't believe it.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Otherwise, Your Highness, do you really think that Wei Ting agreed to this marriage today in the Golden Palace because he was afraid of Your Majesty's might? Wei Ting has disobeyed Your Majesty's order not once or twice, so what if he disobeys Your Majesty once more?"

Xiao Duye hesitated: "That being said——"

The middle-aged man continued, "Your Highness should understand that the information from our White Lotus Sect is never wrong."

This is true. The followers of the White Lotus Sect are spread all over the world, so it is easy to collect information.

Xiao Duye frowned: "But why did Wei Ting go to Qingzhou? And why was he hunted down by my third brother?"

Hearing Xiao Duye calling Xiao Chonghua his third brother, the middle-aged man also changed his name: "I don't know the specific reason why the Third Prince is chasing Wei Ting. There must be a secret between them. Otherwise, the first thing the Third Prince would do when he returns to the capital would be to report Wei Ting."

Xiao Duye murmured, "Empress Xian...had once testified against Wei Ting and Su Daya, saying that Wei Ting had been to Qingzhou and married Su Daya, but was denied by a pair of grandparents in the village."

The middle-aged man said nonchalantly: "They are just two villagers. It's not difficult to control them."

Xiao Duye felt that this was a bit too much, and he couldn't eat it all at once: "So it's true, the Qin and Wei families... have been in cahoots with each other for a long time? Such a huge blood feud... just ignore it?"

The middle-aged man said earnestly: "Your Highness, there are no eternal enemies in this world, only unchanging interests."

Xiao Duye was silent.

After a moment, he asked, "So you are planning to capture Su Daya?"

"Your Highness is smart." The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Duye with admiration, "That girl should be on the way. With her around, do you think Qin Canglan and Wei Ting will fall into the trap?"

Xiao Duye asked calmly, "What does this have to do with my reinstatement? You don't want me to kill Wei Ting and Qin Canglan, do you? Not to mention whether I can kill them or not, even if I do, it would be unjustified and I would just get into trouble for nothing!"

The middle-aged man smiled with determination and said, "Your Highness, you discovered that Wei Ting was colluding with the White Lotus Sect and successfully rescued Princess Hui'an. Is this merit enough?"

"Where is Qin Canglan?" Xiao Duye asked.

The middle-aged man smiled playfully: "He also discovered Wei Ting's secret and was brutally murdered by Wei Ting."

…

"Stop! Stop now! I'm going to vomit! Ugh—"

Princess Hui'an held onto the wall of the car with one hand and covered her chest with the other. Perhaps it was because the ride was too bumpy, her stomach was churning violently.

The man in black ignored her.

"I really can't hold on any longer... I feel so uncomfortable... Please let me rest for a while... Please stop the carriage... Ugh—"

Princess Hui'an covered her mouth tightly.

It's so uncomfortable... It's really so uncomfortable -

Finally, he said to the driver, "Stop for a moment."

The driver stopped the carriage by the roadside.

Princess Hui'an could no longer bear it, so she opened the curtain and vomited out of the car.

I didn’t eat much today and I almost vomited bile.

She vomited until she fainted.

"I don't want to ride in a carriage..."

The man in black said indifferently: "Have you finished vomiting? Leave after you've vomited."

"Wait." Princess Hui'an grabbed the door frame, "Let me vomit for a while longer..."

Princess Hui'an actually had nothing left to vomit, but she really didn't want to continue enduring the pain of the bumpy ride, so she decided to delay it as long as possible.

She pretended to retch.

The man in black noticed something was going on and was about to ask the driver to continue driving.

The driver said, "I'm going to go to the bathroom."

The man in black said, "Go away."

"I see." The driver glanced at Princess Hui'an, "Bringing a woman with you is troublesome."

He went to the woods to relieve himself.

The man in black waited for a while, but didn't see him come back. He frowned and wondered whether he should call him.

At this time, the driver screamed in the woods: "Ah——"

The man in black's eyes turned cold. He grabbed the rope and tied Princess Hui'an to the carriage, then quickly drew his sword and went to the woods.

Princess Hui'an was furious: "You bastard! Let me go! Let me go!"

After the man in black entered the woods, he saw the coachman who had been shot through the heart by an arrow.

His face darkened and he looked around vigilantly: "Who? Come out quickly!"

A bird flew through the woods, startling a bunch of leaves and branches.

Since the opponent is an archer, you must not expose yourself completely under his nose.

He used the trees as cover and kept an eye on the movements in all directions.

At this moment, an arrow broke through the air and shot straight at his forehead.

He dodged sideways! The arrow passed by his ear and shot into the tree behind him!

He raised his hand and touched the painful tip of his ear, which was filled with warm blood.

"You actually managed to shoot me, great!"

In the carriage, Princess Hui'an screamed, "Ah-ah-ah-ah-go away-"

As soon as she finished speaking, the carriage sped away.

The man in black had no time to deal with the archers and used his lightness skills to chase the carriage.

Behind a locust tree on the side of the road, Princess Hui'an looked at the carriage and the man in black going away and whispered, "Are they really leaving?"

She turned her head to look at Su Xiaoxiao who was holding a bow and arrow behind her, and raised her little chin proudly.

"You are a good archer, only slightly worse than this princess."

It’s time to break the 1,000 mark again. I’ll update more if I break it.
