The night was dark. A figure flew over the sky above the Qinghe Palace and rushed into the courtyard where Princess Yurong was.
"Rong'er, Rong'er."
Ye Songyan lowered his voice and called Princess Yurong's name.
The yard was surprisingly quiet. There were no servants on duty, only a few lit candles.
"Fourth brother, fourth brother." Princess Yurong in the house suddenly heard Ye Songyan's voice, and hurried over, looking for Ye Songyan's figure through the closed door.
The candlelight in the room illuminated the figure of Princess Yurong. Ye Songyan caught Yurong's beautiful figure through the candlelight, "Rong'er, I'm here, I'm here."
Princess Yurong did not express her longing for Ye Songyan, but instead asked about his recent situation. "How are you? Did the general give you any trouble?"
Ye Songyan lowered his voice, afraid of making too much noise, "No, my father didn't make things difficult for me. I heard about Xue Chai's incident, and I was worried about you, so I came to see you."
Speaking of Xue Chai, she was the person who grew up with her and was as close as a sister, but died because of her.
Princess Yurong was filled with remorse and blamed herself for being unable to save Xuechai.
She choked up and said, "Fourth brother, Xue Chai is dead. Mother beat her to death in front of me. She also threw Xue Chai's body into a mass grave. Xue Chai died because of me. I can't let her body be exposed in the wilderness after her death. Fourth brother, can you do me a favor? Go to the mass grave, find her body, and let her rest in peace."
Ye Songyan agreed repeatedly, "Okay."
"Fourth brother, you'd better leave quickly. It will be bad if someone comes." Princess Yurong urged Ye Songyan, worried that if someone came, Fourth Brother would be caught.
Ye Songyan looked at the people in the room reluctantly, "I will leave soon, don't worry about me, I will bury Xuechai."
"You're here, can you still leave?" A cold voice sounded behind him.
Hearing this, Ye Songyan turned around and saw a middle-aged man standing not far away. The man was holding a long sword and looking at him coldly.
"Take it."
The middle-aged man waved his hand to direct the guards.
A group of guards, holding shining swords, stepped forward and surrounded Ye Songyan.
One of the guards rushed forward and stabbed Ye Songyan with the sharp sword.
Ye Songyan spun around to avoid it, and with quick eyes and hands, he grabbed the guard, snatched away his sword, and kicked him away.
The guards swarmed forward. Ye Songyan was a martial arts expert. With a flick of his sword, he quickly knocked down a group of guards, but did not take their lives.
"Useless!" The middle-aged man looked at the guards on the ground and sneered.
He drew his sword and attacked towards Ye Songyan.
An extremely strong airflow blew towards him, and Ye Songyan's intuition told him that this middle-aged man must be a master!
His martial arts skills are definitely not weak!
Ye Songyan swung his sword to fight back and engaged in a battle with the middle-aged man. However, after only ten rounds, he was defeated.
The middle-aged man pointed his sword directly at Ye Songyan's chest and looked at him with disdain. "Young Master Ye, your skills are not even as good as your brother's. He can at least last dozens of rounds against me, but you can only last less than twenty rounds!"
Ye Songyan looked directly at the middle-aged man without a trace of fear or alarm. "Senior, your martial arts skills are unparalleled. I admire you! You can kill me or chop me up, it's all at your disposal."
The middle-aged man sheathed his sword, dodged past Ye Songyan, and pressed a point on his acupuncture point, rendering the young man unable to move.
"Useless, such useless things! The palace has kept you for nothing! You're such a petty thief, and you still need Mr. Bai to take action! What are you doing standing there? Why don't you just catch him?"
Princess Qinghe waved her sleeves and criticized the useless guards in the yard.
The guards were silent as a mouse, and quickly arrested Ye Songyan and dragged him out of the yard.
"Fourth brother, fourth brother..."
Princess Yurong kept calling Ye Songyan's name, and listened to Ye Songyan's voice gradually fading away through the door.
"You guys stay in the courtyard. If anyone else breaks into this courtyard, you will be beheaded!"
Princess Qinghe gave orders to several guards.
"yes!"
The next day, early morning.
Everyone in the palace rushed to tell others that the fourth young master was missing!
First, the old general heard that his beloved grandson was missing, so he hurried to Ye Songyan's room to look for him, and then questioned Wujing and the guards.
The door was closed and the window was not open.
Wujing asked the guard servant, who took turns guarding the night and never opened the doors or windows during the shift.
The old general asked if they had ever left during the journey.
There were three servants on duty, two of whom said they had never left during their shift, but the one on guard hesitantly explained that he had left for half a quarter of an hour to go to the toilet.
The old general understood that Ye Songyan must have sneaked away while the servant was out to relieve himself.
But where did he slip away to?
Upon hearing the news, Ye Shiheng hurried to Feiyuan.
Without any guessing, Ye Shiheng could also know where Ye Songyan had gone. This brat must have gone to the Qinghe Palace!
This kid won't go anywhere else except the Qinghe Palace.
Ye Shiheng immediately sent people to the Qinghe Palace to investigate.
About half an hour later, the person who went to investigate came back.
"General, the people from the Qinghe Palace said that our fourth young master is not in the Qinghe Palace."
Ye Shiheng said calmly, "Xiao Si must be in the Qinghe Palace!"
He didn't believe what Qinghe Palace said.
"Wujing, let's go! Follow me to the Qinghe Palace to ask for someone!"
Ye Shiheng moved like the wind, hurried out of the flying courtyard, and ordered people to go to the Qinghe Palace.
"Yes!" Wujing followed quickly.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Feiyuan, he bumped into Ye Zelin and Hua Fushu.
Ye Zelin asked, "Dad, where are you going?"
Ye Shiheng said: "Qinghe Palace, bring your brother back!"
Ye Zelin twitched the corner of his mouth and asked, "Recruit someone?"
We should go to the Qinghe Palace to look for someone.
Ye Zelin received news from an insider in the Qinghe Palace that Ye Songyan was indeed in the Qinghe Palace, and the Princess of Qinghe had tortured him.
However, Ye Zelin was not worried at all that the Qinghe Palace would kill Ye Songyan. At most, it would make Ye Songyan suffer.
After all, Ye Songyan is the son of the General's Mansion. Prince Qinghe will have some concerns and will not kill Ye Songyan. He will inevitably suffer physical pain.
Ye Zelin pretended to be anxious and said, "Dad, I have received news that my fourth brother is indeed in the Qinghe Palace, and the Qinghe Prince has tortured him."
Ye Shiheng was slightly startled, "What?"
Ye Shiheng passed his son, quickened his pace, and appeared to be in a hurry. He called a dozen guards and led Wujing to the Qinghe Palace!
At the door, Hua Fushu looked at the grand ceremony and said to Ye Zelin, "It's just a request for someone. Father wouldn't need to make such a big fuss, would he?"
Ye Zelin curled his lips and smiled lightly, "The bigger the show, the better. The bigger the show, the more the General's Mansion can clear its relationship with the Qinghe Palace."
Hua Fushu said calmly, "That's right. Xiao Si's injuries are quite serious, but he's not in danger of death at the moment."
Ye Zelin's handsome brows were slightly frowned, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
