Chapter 494 Night Visit
"Didn't the Seventh Young Master just praise the eldest prince? Why did he change his expression so suddenly?" Old Du asked with a smile.
"I thought he was a scholar, but I never thought he would want to snatch milk from us! Absolutely not!"
Wang Longqi waved his hand, thought for a moment, and slapped the table again, "Why don't we just rush over now and rescue my child's mother."
"Haha, young man, don't be so impatient." Yu Qian'an smiled leisurely and said, "We don't necessarily come here to take her back."
"What do you mean?" Wang Longqi was stunned. "If I'm not here to take her back, why would I come all the way here to eat sand?"
Yu Qian'an said: "You have to figure it out. It doesn't matter whether she is the Princess of Heluo, it doesn't matter who she is married to, and it doesn't matter whether she is the mother of your child. The most important thing is whether she wants to go with you."
"That's right." Li Chu's thoughts were similar to Yu Qian'an's. He understood his master's meaning and said, "I came here to help her. But how can I help her? I must respect her wishes."
"She gave birth to my child, so of course she wants to reunite with our family, right?" Wang Longqi said to himself.
"She is a princess of the royal family, not one of those good girls in a brothel. She would need a small town rich man like you to give her a status." The old Taoist said mercilessly: "Why does she want to marry you? Do you think you are a good man?"
"Hiss..." Wang Longqi took a breath and his eyes suddenly became unconfident.
The old Taoist priest asked again: "Then do you think you are a scum?"
"That's pure." When mentioning this, Wang Longqi's eyes suddenly became confident again.
"So, you should find a chance to meet the girl first, ask her about her wishes, and see what she really thinks. Maybe she just wants to have a child for fun, but it's inconvenient for her to raise it herself." The old Taoist said, "Legend has it that there is a nation outside the territory with peculiar customs. As long as the woman gets pregnant, the man will run away and not take responsibility for raising the child. Since the man can do that, the woman can certainly think the same way."
"The old master is right. I don't have much experience in this area. I'm glad you're here." Wang Longqi nodded in agreement and suddenly asked, "Could it be that you've also experienced something like this?"
"Ahem..." Yu Qian'an suddenly cleared his throat twice, glanced to the side, and said repeatedly: "The weather is nice today..."
Seeing this, Dulanke quickly interrupted and said, "I just inquired about it. The Bailang Kingdom specially built a palace for Princess Heluo. The people of Bailang have been in a panic recently, so no one should pay much attention to that place. We can go check it out tonight."
"Okay." Wang Longqi responded with a pounding of his fist.
…
The so-called sneaking into the night with the wind.
When the night wind blew through Bailang Kingdom, two figures quietly sneaked into a palace in the capital.
The dog is sneaky.
As Dulanke expected, because Princess Heluo was more like a mascot and had no practical significance, the Bailang Kingdom, which was in a state of panic recently, did not equip the palace with too many guards. In fact, after several disturbances this year, not many people in the country remembered the existence of this princess.
Du Lanke carried Wang Longqi and nimbly climbed over the high wall, passed through several garden corridors, dodged the patrolling soldiers, and came to the back of the princess's bedroom.
“It’s right here.”
The bright candlelight reflected in the bedroom, and a figure could be vaguely seen. Sitting by the window was a graceful woman.
"That's my child's mother. With her figure, I won't make a mistake." Wang Longqi said anxiously and wanted to rush over and open the window.
"Seventh Young Master, calm down!" Old Du grabbed him and said in a low voice, "There are other people in the bedroom. If you go in now, it will be difficult for the princess to explain."
Before he finished speaking, the sound of conversation was heard in the bedroom.
"Are you okay?" This is a woman's voice.
"Not bad." This was a man's voice.
"It's Ji Yuhuan's voice, that's right!" Wang Longqi stared, "Why is there a man in her bedroom?"
"Don't think too much, it shouldn't be a big deal, just listen first." Lao Du said.
The two men squatted down under the window wall.
Then, Ji Yuhuan asked, "Are you alright?"
The man replied, "I was almost recovering, but I overdrew last night. My legs feel weak when I walk today..."
"I……"
Outside the window, when Wang Longqi heard this, he felt his scalp tingling and wanted to get up and rush in.
"Seventh Young Master, calm down!" Lao Du quickly covered his mouth and advised, "It should be nothing, it's okay, listen again."
"His legs are weak..."
"Maybe he's tired from running..."
Wang Longqi stared, then finally nodded, and Lao Du let go of his hand.
Then, I heard the conversation in the house continuing.
"Are you coming tonight?" Ji Yuhuan asked.
"Yes, I will come." The man replied, "Not only will I come alone, but I will also bring a few people with me."
"What?" Ji Yuhuan was startled, and her voice was slightly worried: "With so many people... isn't that a good idea?"
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. We brothers really...can't help it anymore." said the man.
Outside the window.
Wang Longqi already had his hands tightly gripping the wall, "I'll kill his mother... He's going to bring a few more people with him..."
"Seventh Young Master, calm down!" Lao Du held him tightly, "Maybe he's a plumber. Listen again!"
"That's nothing..." Wang Longqi gritted his teeth, but he was really no match for Lao Du and couldn't break free, so he just continued listening.
Inside the house.
There was silence for a while, except for the crackling of the candlelight.
Ji Yuhuan hesitated for a while before saying, "If there are too many people, it won't be that convenient for me... They can't go through the front door, so let them go through the back door."
"Good." The man replied, "Thanks to the princess."
Outside the window.
Wang Longqi was almost going crazy.
"You're still trying to take the back door..." He pounded his chest, "Old Du, let me go. I want to go in and die with him..."
"Seventh Young Master, are you so confident that we can beat them?" Lao Du continued to persuade him: "Wait a little longer, don't be impulsive..."
Inside the house.
"Oh, right..." the man suddenly said, "There are more than a few people, there should be a dog. I wonder if it's convenient for the princess..."
"And the dog?" Ji Yuhuan hesitated for a moment, and finally said softly: "Yes, okay."
Outside the window.
Wang Longqi was about to burst into tears, biting his arm tightly: "Don't agree to him, it's too much, don't agree to him..."
Lao Du was about to burst into tears because Wang Longqi bit his arm.
"Seventh Young Master, go in and fight him. I can't stand it anymore. If you are no match for him, I will definitely ask my master to avenge you!" he said indignantly.
Wang Longqi could no longer endure it after hearing this. He stood up suddenly, pushed open the window, and shouted, "Ji Yuhuan!"
"ah……"
The beautiful woman with a graceful figure standing by the window, wearing a brocade dress with a corset and embroidered fur on the collar, was none other than Ji Yuhuan, whom I had not seen for many days.
On the steps opposite her was a middle-aged Taoist priest with a gentle temperament. He looked about the same age as Lao Du, but his temperament was extraordinary, and their looks were incomparable.
Seeing Wang Longqi suddenly appear, Ji Yuhuan opened her mouth in surprise, her eyes flickered for a few times, and after a long while she called out: "Ah Qi..."
“I…” Wang Longqi climbed in through the window, tears welling up in his eyes, “I came all the way here, ate sand all the way to find you, and was almost killed by a monster… Why are you doing this here…”
"What's the matter?" Ji Yuhuan was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses, looked around, closed the window, and said, "Let me introduce you, this is the former state teacher of Bailang State, Taoist Yonglin."
"Hello." Although the middle-aged Taoist priest with extraordinary demeanor didn't understand what was going on, he still nodded slightly to the two of them.
"Haha, Taoist Yonglin, right..." Wang Longqi took a deep breath and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"
Ji Yuhuan thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to tell you. The situation in Bailang is complicated right now. Taoist Yonglin was previously plotted against by three monks and lost the battle. His realm fell. In order to save the disciples of the state religion in the capital, he overdrew his cultivation. His situation is very dangerous."
It can be seen that the cultivation level of Taoist Yonglin is really not low. If he had not been seriously injured and his cultivation level was damaged, it would be impossible for someone to get so close to him without noticing.
"When I was pregnant, it was Taoist Yonglin who first noticed it. He helped me conceal it from Lord Bailang and found an excuse for me to stay in the palace all the time. Only then did I finally give birth to the child and get away with it. You can say that he is a great benefactor to me and my child."
"So after he lost power and was hunted by the current national teacher, I took him in. Now Taoist Yonglin wants to gather the original national religious disciples and plan to regain the orthodox position of Bailang Kingdom. And I... am considering whether to help him."
"Ah..." Hearing what she said, Wang Longqi was confused for a moment. He scratched his head for a long time before he uttered, "Where's the dog?"
"It is the guardian beast of our religion, the three-eyed spirit dog." Taoist Priest Yonglin said, "It was seriously injured in the battle to protect the religion. The believers could not bear to abandon it, so they took it with them to hide in the east."
Ji Yuhuan looked at Wang Longqi strangely: "Why are you so excited? What do you think it is?"
“Ah, I thought… I thought it was Roaring Sky Dog, haha, ah ba ah ba…” Wang Longqi didn’t know what to say for a moment and began to make meaningless sounds.
Ji Yuhuan calmed down and asked, "Ah Qi, why are you here? Jiangnan is thousands of miles away from here. I thought we would never see each other again in this life. You..."
"How can I feel at ease if you only bring the child back to me?" Wang Longqi sighed, "That's why I asked Li Chu to take me to the Western Regions, just to..."
After a pause, he hesitated and didn't say the rest of the words.
Ji Yuhuan showed a delighted expression, "Master Xiao Li is here too?"
She looked at Taoist Yonglin and said with a smile: "In this case, the national religion can be saved!"
