"Go out and urge Prince Yong'an to deal with the man quickly, and tell him that your young master is dying."
Zheng Yi gave instructions to Asheng.
Unexpectedly, Ah Sheng had just gotten off the carriage and hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath before he returned.
"Young master, the prince's men have killed all those bandits. We should be able to enter the city in about half an hour."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yi swallowed hard.
They really are ruthless killers; they can wipe them all out in the blink of an eye.
It seems best not to mess with Ye Zeyu in the future.
"How many people were killed?"
"There were corpses all over the ground. I didn't dare to look closely, but I estimate there were at least a dozen people."
Ah Sheng was terrified; he had never seen anything so terrifying in his life.
For the Prince of Yong'an's men, killing someone was easier than killing a chicken.
No wonder they were able to wipe out the entire 500,000-strong army of Northern Yan.
Just then, Ye Zeyu's voice rang out from outside the car.
"Zheng Yi, how are you?"
Upon hearing Ye Zeyu's voice, Zheng Yi shuddered. He felt less tired and more energetic. He sat up, lifted the carriage curtain, and gave Ye Zeyu, who was riding a horse outside the carriage, a slightly ingratiating smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am much better now."
Ye Zeyu wore a mask, so his expression couldn't be seen, but his voice remained icy.
"I just rescued a woman. Let her be your maid and take care of your daily needs along the way."
Zheng Yi was dumbfounded. So Ye Zeyu, that jinx, was actually so concerned about him.
He had originally planned to take two maids with him when he went out, but his father stopped him.
He said that his trip to Ganzhou was on the emperor's orders to wipe out the Heavenly Immortal Sect, not a sightseeing trip. If he took a maid with him, it would inevitably displease Ye Zeyu.
Unexpectedly, Ye Zeyu would take the initiative to assign him a maid.
He subconsciously peeked out the window, wanting to see what the maid Ye Zeyu had assigned to him looked like. Unexpectedly, just one glance was enough to arouse him.
The woman looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, and even in ordinary clothes, her curvaceous figure was still evident.
With fair skin and striking features, she was not as beautiful as Su Muxi, but she was just as good as Murong Qing.
Especially her pitiful appearance, which makes people want to pin her down and bully her!
"Your Highness, is this girl for me?"
Upon hearing Zheng Yi's words, the woman visibly shrank back, looking frightened.
She looked up at Ye Zeyu, her almond-shaped eyes seeming to speak volumes, filled with pleading.
Ye Zeyu raised an eyebrow, ignoring the pleading in the woman's eyes, and said to Zheng Yi, "She said she has nowhere to go and begged us to take her in. I am not used to women being close to me, and you happen to be delicate and weak, so it's perfect for you to be her maid."
What? You don't want to?
"Yes! Yes! I'm willing! Thank you, Your Highness, I will definitely treat this young lady well!"
How could Zheng Yi possibly refuse? He was more than willing!
Moreover, he retracted his previous idea.
He still needs women!
Ye Zeyu's lips curled into a meaningful smile. He glanced deeply at the pitiful woman, said nothing more, turned his horse around, and shouted, "Continue on!"
Upon seeing this, Zheng Yi quickly beckoned the woman to get into the car.
The woman looked at Zheng Yi, gave a shy smile, and said softly, "Young master, I can't get up there."
As she spoke, her almond-shaped eyes were filled with embarrassment.
Zheng Yi immediately perked up, "It's alright, I'll pull you up!"
He grasped her soft hands with his large hand, perhaps using too much force, and the woman lost her balance as she boarded the car, falling directly into Zheng Yi's arms.
Ah~~
The woman's delicate cry nearly took Zheng Yi's soul away.
Ye Zeyu, who rode his horse to the front of the group, did not see this scene.
Even if he saw it, he wouldn't care.
Xiao Ce couldn't help but lean close to Ye Zeyu's ear and whisper, "Master, that woman is clearly suspicious. I've never heard of any bandits near Black Cloud City before, and this woman is far too beautiful."
In my humble opinion, that woman clearly wanted to get close to you, Master, and deliberately set up a trap!
Ye Ziyu glanced at Xiao Ce indifferently, as if to say that what Xiao Ce had just said was all nonsense.
It's so obvious, how could he not see it?!
Then Xiao Ce said to himself, "The plan of the person behind this has failed. The master is not interested in women. Even if he sends a beautiful woman, it will be in vain."
Does he not get close to women?
Ye Zeyu couldn't help but think of Su Muxi, and a tender look appeared in his eyes.
But soon, that tenderness vanished and was replaced by a cold glint.
"Perhaps that woman's initial target was not me?"
Xiao Ce subconsciously looked back, his eyes showing a look of realization.
If the woman's initial target was Zheng Yi, then it makes sense, since Zheng Yi is very susceptible to women.
After hearing that the birthmark on his princess's face had disappeared, Zheng Yi became very attentive to her.
"My lord, is the princess really that beautiful after the birthmark on her face was removed? I heard that the princess is now more beautiful than the fairies in heaven, is that true?"
Before he went to the Tiger Riding Camp, the birthmark on the princess's face had not yet been removed.
As a result, even now, he has never had the chance to return to the capital and see the princess.
Even the princess's brother, who had seen her, couldn't quite describe what she looked like now, only saying that she was more beautiful than a fairy.
