Wei Chi lowered his brows and nodded to report.

A fierce look flashed across Xiao Jinyan's phoenix eyes, "Go and take a look."

Wei Chi followed Xiao Jinyan's order to Concubine Xu's tent.

In the woods

As soon as Concubine Xu walked in, she was pulled behind a tree. This time she was much calmer than before.

"What are you doing here?"

The man in black got straight to the point and said, "I want you to help me ask the Crown Princess about Feng Wuyou."

Concubine Xu said, "The Crown Princess doesn't know Feng Wuyou."

The man in black asked doubtfully, "How do you know?"

Concubine Xu said, "The Crown Princess once asked me if I knew Feng Wuyou. If she knew, would she still ask me?"

The man in black frowned when he heard this. He hadn't held out any hope in the first place, but after getting this answer, he was still a little disappointed.

Concubine Xu couldn't help but ask again: "Who is Feng Wuyou to you? Why did you take so long to find her?"

Seeing how curious she was, the man in black didn't intend to hide it any further, "Feng Wuyou is my sister."

It turned out to be my sister, not my sweetheart.

Concubine Xu was somewhat happy, "My sister is doing well."

"I've searched almost everywhere in Daxia, but couldn't find her." The man in black seemed worried. He had been searching for too long and was disappointed time and time again. He didn't know what to do.

Concubine Xu could hear the anxiety in the black-clothed man's tone, so she comforted him, "Don't worry, we will definitely find it."

The man in black sighed, "I've been looking for it for eight years. How easy is that?"

Although Concubine Xu had never lost her sister, she could understand how anxious and desperate her sister would be if she had been missing for eight years.

"Did your sister run away from home?"

The man in black nodded, "Yeah."

"Why do you want to run away from home? Don't you treat her well?" Concubine Xu thought that only if she was treated badly would she think of running away from home. Someone like her who was spoiled by the whole family would not think of running away from home.

"No." The man in black thought of Xiaojiu. She was the treasure of the whole family. How could they treat her badly? "If she was treated well, why would she run away from home?" Concubine Xu seemed to have thought of something. "Could it be that a bad guy kidnapped her?"

The man in black fell into deep thought after hearing this. It was not that he had not thought about the fact that he was taken away by someone. The first person he thought of was Xiao Jinyan. At that time, Xiao Jiu was very close to Xiao Jinyan.

He came to Daxia to look for Xiaojiu at the beginning, but did not find any trace of Xiaojiu. In order not to delay the search for Xiaojiu, he went to other places to look for her, fearing that it was the enemy who kidnapped Xiaojiu in revenge.

Concubine Xu asked curiously, "How old is your sister now?"

The man in black said, "One year younger than you, eighteen."

"I heard from my brother that if a girl is kidnapped by a bad guy, especially a pretty girl, she might be sold to a brothel..."

Concubine Xu realized that she had said the wrong thing. How could she think this way? The man in black's eyes darkened.

Concubine Xu hurriedly explained: "I am just guessing that your sister must be blessed by heaven, and someone will rescue her when she is in danger."

The man in black had been with Concubine Xu for two years and had some understanding of her personality. She spoke fast and easily offended people.

"You go back first."

Concubine Xu was reluctant to leave, "What about you?"

The man in black said, "If Da Xia can't find her again, I will leave Da Xia."

When Concubine Xu heard that he was leaving Daxia, she suddenly felt empty. She reached out and grabbed his hand, "When are you leaving Daxia? Will you come to Daxia again in the future?"

The man in black looked down at the hand that was held by Concubine Xu.

Concubine Xu also realized that she had actually grabbed the man's hand. She blushed and took her hand back, hesitatingly explaining, "I was in a hurry. I wouldn't just grab a man's hand."

The man in black laughed so softly that it was inaudible. "I will probably leave Daxia next month. I will come to Daxia to play after I find Xiaojiu."

Concubine Xu asked, "How long will it take? Two months? Or half a year?"

"Of course, the sooner the better." The man in black sighed. He wished he could find Xiaojiu right now. So many years have passed, and the little girl has grown into a big girl.

Concubine Xu felt lost when she thought that the man in black was leaving Da Xia. She returned to her tent and did not notice anyone sitting at the table.

Xiao Jinyan watched Concubine Xu walk in, looking distraught and not even bowing to him. He asked in a cold voice, "Concubine Xu, where have you been so late?"

Concubine Xu was startled by a cold voice. She looked up and saw Xiao Jinyan sitting at the table. Being stared at by those sharp eyes, she felt guilty again.

How could Xiao Jinyan be in her tent? She was stunned for a long time before she reacted and stepped forward to bow, "Your Highness."

Xiao Jinyan slammed the table angrily, "Concubine Xu is getting bolder and bolder. You meet a man at night. Do you know your crime?"

Concubine Xu was just a paper tiger, how could she withstand Xiao Jinyan's fright? Her legs went weak immediately and she almost fell to the ground.

How did Xiao Jinyan know that she went to see the man in black? She couldn't admit it at this time. What if Xiao Jinyan thought she had an affair with an outsider? She didn't want to leave a bad reputation before leaving the palace.

"Your Highness, I don't know what you are talking about."

Xiao Jinyan snorted inwardly. Did he know that having an affair was bad for one's reputation? "Concubine Xu, as my concubine, you secretly meet a man in the middle of the night. If this gets out, not only will your reputation be ruined, but even your life will be at risk. If Concubine Xu tells the truth, I can still give you a lighter sentence for the sake of General Xu's face."

Concubine Xu felt very upset. She didn't know how Xiao Jinyan knew about her meeting with the man in black. Before she even did anything, she was accused of having an affair!

It's too unfair! "Your Highness, it's not midnight now. Besides, I'm just meeting a friend. My virgin blood is still there. Your Highness can't wrongly accuse me."

Xiao Jinyan was so angry that he laughed. He had been following Xiao Jiu for so long that even their words sounded similar to his. He even knew how to refute! "This is the royal enclosure. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Those who disobey the order will be killed without mercy! You said you were your friend, so why are you wearing night clothes? Why don't you show up in broad daylight?"

Concubine Xu said, thinking of Xiao Jinyan's identity, she begged again: "He is really not a bad person, Your Highness is magnanimous, so don't worry about it."

Xiao Jinyan: "..."

"Then do you know who the man in black is? Where is he from?"

Concubine Xu shook her head: "I don't know. I don't even know his name."

After Concubine Xu finished speaking, she began to regret deeply. The man in black was about to leave Da Xia, and she even forgot to ask him his name tonight.

I don’t know when we will see each other again.

The more Concubine Xu thought about it, the more unhappy she became.

Xiao Jinyan: “…” Judging from what Concubine Xu was thinking, she was not lying.

You don’t even know who the other person is, and you still call him a friend?

This brain...～ "Then do you know why the man in black came to Daxia?"

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Concubine Xu was a little hesitant when she heard this. She couldn't tell anyone that the man in black came to Daxia to look for Feng Wuyou, right? She probably couldn't tell anyone.

Concubine Xu shook her head, "I don't know."

Xiao Jinyan snorted coldly, but he didn't care that Concubine Xu lied, because he could read minds and knew that the man in black came to Daxia to find Feng Wuyou.

He had Feng Wuyou's portrait and jade. Perhaps he had known her before, but he had forgotten.

Concubine Xu was a little worried and was thinking about leaving the palace. She just brought this up, "Your Highness, I want to leave the palace, and I can save you some money."

Xiao Jinyan had already known from Concubine Xu's inner thoughts that she was going to leave the palace, so she was not surprised.

"I will give you a decent reason to leave the palace."

Concubine Xu thought that it would take some effort to persuade Xiao Jinyan, but she didn't expect that Xiao Jinyan agreed so readily. Well, staying would just mean one more mouth to feed.

She bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your help."

"Before leaving the palace, you should pay attention to some etiquette and rules."

Xiao Jinyan left after saying a few words.

Concubine Xu took off her clothes and lay on the bed. She was extremely sad when she thought about the man in black leaving Daxia.

Xiao Jinyan returned to the tent and saw Shen Chuwei lying on the bed and asleep.

He took off his clothes and went to bed, then lit the oil lamp and looked at Xiaojiu who was sleeping soundly. His eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to the portrait.

The man in black came to Daxia to look for Feng Wuyou. Could it be because he found that Xiaojiu was similar to Feng Wuyou? Recalling the sudden attack by the man in black two days ago, Xiaojiu stepped forward to help him out of fear that he would be bullied, and actually blocked the man in black's sword-wielding hand with one hand.

After fighting with the man in black for several rounds, he knew better than anyone how powerful the man in black's martial arts skills were.

Xiaojiu can't stop him at full strength, unless the man in black reduces his strength.

Thinking back to when the sword was swung, he could feel that the force had indeed been reduced by a lot because of Xiaojiu's proximity.

Looking at the black-clad man's attitude towards Xiaojiu, one can guess that this is not the first time he has seen her.

Xiao Jinyan pondered for a long time, vaguely feeling that the memory he lost was very important.

The next day, he sent people to continue investigating the matter of Feng Wuyou.

Shen Chuwei came out of the tent and saw the queen leading the horse from afar. She walked over and bowed, "May your mother be blessed with good health."

The Queen turned around and found that it was the Crown Princess. She smiled and said, "It's the Crown Princess."

Shen Chuwei saw the dark circles under the queen's eyes and asked worriedly, "Didn't your mother get enough rest last night?"

The Queen paused after hearing this. She did not sleep well last night and did not want to worry the Crown Princess, so she said, "Well, there were a lot of mosquitoes last night."

Shen Chuwei said, "I have some mosquito repellent here, it's very effective, I'll give some to mother later."

The queen did not refuse and nodded gently, "Okay."

The emperor waited in the tent for a long time but the queen didn't come back. They hadn't said a few words since last night, and he didn't know what she was thinking. The emperor put on his clothes and walked out of the tent himself. He saw the queen and the crown princess chatting from a distance and walked over.

Shen Chuwei saw the emperor coming and bowed, "May your Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."

The Emperor glanced at the Crown Princess, then at the Queen. She was wearing riding clothes and leading a horse, as if she was going hunting.

"Does the Queen want to go riding?"

The Queen said, "Your Majesty, I have nothing to do, so I want to ride a horse."

Upon hearing this, the emperor reached out and held her hand holding the reins, and said gently, "I will go with you."

The Queen politely declined: "Your Majesty is still injured. What if the wound opens again while riding a horse?"

Did Shen Chuwei notice that his wound had split open again? The emperor's wound had split open before? The emperor said nonchalantly, "It's just riding a horse. It's okay. I haven't galloped with the queen for a long time. Today I will experience it again.

Shen Chuwei felt like a huge light bulb. While the two were talking, she found an excuse and slipped away.

After Shen Chuwei left, the emperor couldn't help but ask, "Queen, are you still unwilling to believe me?"
