Chapter 568 Tang Bugui glanced at the beauty
Tang Bugui glanced at the beautiful woman and was about to speak when a voice came from behind him.
"Sister, can I come with you?"
The girl's voice was very clear and crisp.
Tang Bugui's pupils contracted slightly, a strange emotion stirring within him.
"Hmm?" The beautiful woman was sizing up the woman not far away, but she didn't notice anything unusual about Tang Bugui.
The beautiful woman looked at the girl in front of her, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "Take off your veil and let me see it!"
The girl paused slightly, then slowly removed her veil.
"Hmm? She's quite good-looking!"
The beautiful woman curled her lips into a smile and reached out to lift the girl's chin.
The girl's delicate face came into her view.
"Not bad, very beautiful... Would you be willing to be my maid and follow me from now on?" The beautiful woman's red lips curled up, her eyes full of allure.
The girl's cheeks flushed slightly, seemingly stunned by the beautiful woman's face. After a moment, she said, "I'm willing!"
The beautiful woman laughed and waved her hand, "Gu Zanli, take her to change her clothes. We'll get ready and move to another place!"
Her gaze toward the girl held a hint of amusement, but more than anything, it was one of surprise.
She was originally a saintess of the Western Regions Kingdom, and now she is the high priestess of the Western Regions Kingdom, so her abilities are naturally quite great.
But just now, when she looked at the girl, she had a strange feeling.
It's as if another soul is mixed inside the body of this girl...
Tang Bugui had become very calm.
He glanced at the girl, pretending to be nonchalant.
"What, you like this kind of immature look?"
The beautiful high priestess walked up to Tang Bugui, who was dressed in women's clothing and looked like an ice queen!
Tang Bugui was unable to speak, so he looked away and ignored the beautiful high priestess.
The beautiful high priestess reached out and pinched Tang Bugui's chin. Seeing the high and mighty man become so delicate made her very happy.
Tang Bugui couldn't speak, but his eyes were very cold.
The beautiful high priestess's smile became even brighter.
She was about to say something when she saw Guzali return with the young girl.
The girl wore a white dress and had no makeup on her face, yet she still possessed a cool and aloof beauty.
"May I have your name?"
The beautiful high priestess curled her lips into a smile and raised an eyebrow as she asked.
The girl paused slightly, then spoke, "Yang Shu."
Yang Nuannuan, disguised as Yang Shu, lowered her eyes, seemingly a little shy.
The beautiful high priestess didn't ask any further questions, only saying, "From now on, you'll stay by my side, eating and sleeping with me. You can manage, right?"
Yang Nuannuan nodded, remaining extremely quiet.
Gu Zanli had never met Yang Nuannuan because she was driven away relatively early, but they had heard of Yang Nuannuan's name.
Looking at Yang Nuannuan now, he couldn't help but frown.
Why would Master treat such a young girl so differently?
Is it to cultivate a new successor?
Thinking of this, Guzali's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Her gaze toward Yang Nuannuan was unfriendly.
The group changed their clothes, and the beautiful woman changed into men's clothing, her entire face changed.
Yang Nuannuan was stunned, and she understood why they hadn't found these people.
These people change their appearance far too drastically each time.
Even Yang Nuannuan began to doubt whether the beautiful face she had seen before was actually this woman's face.
They hadn't been gone long when Su Shan arrived, but they still came up empty-handed.
But this time Su Shan was not in a hurry.
He saw the mark left by Yang Nuannuan and was relieved to know that Tang Bugui was alright for the time being.
He quickly relayed the news back to the palace.
The Emperor and Empress have been very anxious these past few days.
The emperor even considered sending troops to the Western Regions!
If it weren't for the Empress's persuasion, we might have already marched to the capital of the Western Regions!
"Wife, if they dare to harm Bugui, I will become a tyrant and raze the Western Regions to the ground!"
The emperor, though in the inner palace, had an extremely sharp gaze.
A hint of helplessness flickered in the Empress's eyes. In truth, if she could, she would also like to…
But the late emperor once signed a peace treaty with the Western Regions!
Not only that, the Western Regions Kingdom is skilled in using poison, and if they go there rashly, they will suffer heavy casualties.
The Shang Dynasty is now powerful, but it is also besieged on all sides.
The surrounding small countries banded together for mutual support, and a single move could have far-reaching consequences. At times, the Queen was even more rational.
Because she had led troops in battle, she knew all too well how precious peace was.
"I know, don't be angry yet. The Western Regions Kingdom claims they were unaware of this matter either. We'll have to wait for Su Shan and the others to find out the current situation!"
The empress took the emperor's hand and asked him to drink tea to the side.
Just then, the Second Prince entered, bringing news of Su Shan.
The Emperor and Empress breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Tang Bugui was unharmed.
"Mom and Dad, things are settled here. I want to go find Su Bao!"
The second prince's face was serious.
The Emperor and Empress were taken aback, and their gazes toward the Second Prince were somewhat complicated.
"A weakling like you, going to deliver vegetables?" the emperor said mercilessly.
The Second Prince...
His eyes were filled with resentment, and he wanted to turn around and leave, but then he changed his mind and tears streamed down his face.
"Dad, please bring me some skilled fighters! My eldest brother has Su Shan, but Su Bao and Aunt Qian don't have any. If you let me go, I'll definitely..."
"Shut up!"
The emperor rolled his eyes at his son, who was just as weak as himself!
Cough cough, I'm not weak at all. I'm the emperor. If I were that strong, what would I need generals for?
Are you attending a banquet?
"Alright, what are you yelling about? Get lost and stop making trouble!"
The emperor banished the second prince.
The crown prince, who had just entered the room, saw his second brother's appearance and reached out to pat him on the shoulder!
The second prince sighed, feeling utterly helpless, when he saw his elder brother, who was even weaker than himself.
Why aren't they as powerful as their mothers? They all follow their fathers.
Their father is just good-looking; it's a real shame their mother is like this...
The emperor sneezed several times and immediately turned to glare at his son.
The latter immediately took off running.
In fact, Wang Mingtian had said that Xiao Su Bao would be fine and would even benefit from the misfortune, so although the two were anxious, they weren't in a real hurry.
Upon seeing the Crown Prince arrive, the Empress truly sighed this time.
After all, the Empress had sharp eyes and had long noticed the Crown Prince's unusual feelings towards Xiao Su Bao!
Unfortunately, the two were destined to be apart.
"Father, Mother, I have just received news that my uncle is being hunted down and has now fled into the capital!"
The Crown Prince looked at the Emperor and Empress, his gentle voice unhurried.
The Empress sighed inwardly.
"Your rebellious uncle has finally met his end..." The emperor snorted, his tone somewhat unfriendly.
The crown prince didn't say much, but there was a faint glint in his eyes.
The Empress did not refute, but then the Emperor continued, "Alright, if he comes out, bring him to the palace. I want to see if he's still so arrogant!"
The emperor muttered a few words, but ultimately said nothing more.
The Empress knew her husband's temperament and simply smiled.
"Well, let's do as your father says!"
The Crown Prince nodded and stood respectfully to the side. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Father, I sent the Dragon Guards out to search for Su Bao. They received news that Su Bao and the others have been captured by the Skull Pirates!"
The emperor was taken aback and was about to speak when he heard the crown prince continue.
"However, they are not in any danger at present and are currently safe and can live a normal life on the island."
When the prince spoke, you could see the bloodshot veins in his eyes.
The Empress looked at the Crown Prince with a hint of helplessness.
"Your health isn't good, don't overwork yourself!"
The Empress looked at her son and gave him some words of advice with a touch of heartache.
The crown prince smiled gently, but said nothing more.
When he returned to the Crown Prince's residence, the Crown Prince went back to his study alone.
He remained silent for a long time. The Crown Prince, who usually loved gossip, was now too lazy to listen to it!
He thought of Xiao Su Bao and felt as if he had missed out on something he had always wanted.
He took out a portrait and then slowly sighed.
If someone were here, they would find that the woman in the portrait looks seven or eight parts like Xiao Su Bao, only she looks a bit more mature, as if she were Xiao Su Bao grown up.
The crown prince remained silent for a long time before placing the portrait in a hidden compartment.
On the other side, Xiao Su Bao, who was eating, suddenly felt an itch in her nose.
She quickly ran to the door and sneezed.
Qian followed nervously out, took the little girl's hand, and touched it.
"Did you catch a cold?" The temperature at sea is too unstable, sometimes cold and sometimes hot.
Xiao Su Bao shook her head; she felt that someone was thinking of her.
Today marks seven days since they began their voyage at sea.
They've almost finished raising the little girls.
It's time for them to leave.
A moment later, the little girl found Ning Keke.
Ning Keke was currently pulling Hui'er along, feeding her.
Seeing Xiao Su Bao coming over, Hui'er hurriedly tried to get up, as if asking for help.
Ning Keke felt a little helpless. Seven days had passed, but her little sister was still very afraid of her.
She looked at Xiao Su Bao with a resentful expression, but there was nothing she could do.
"Island Master, we've disturbed you for about the time we need. I'd like to leave tomorrow!"
Ning Keke had said before that she wouldn't stop them from leaving if they wanted to.
That's why Xiao Su Bao said those things!
Ning Keke paused slightly, opened her mouth, but ultimately did not utter a word of refusal.
She also knew that time was running out for Xiao Su Bao.
"I can let you leave, but can you please let my sister..."
"I don't want to stay here, I want to stay with my master!"
Hui'er suddenly spoke, her eyes filled with determination.
Ning Keke fell silent. She looked at her younger sister, then glanced at Xiao Su Bao, and finally took a deep breath.
She seems to have made some kind of decision.
"Alright, you go and prepare your things. I'll take a shortcut to the Western Regions. But you have to promise me that once you find Tang Bugui, you'll let my sister stay with me for a while longer!"
Ning Keke originally didn't want to leave, but now, for her sister's sake, she had no choice but to go!
Moreover, I still have many things to take care of in the Western Regions!
After all, some people, after occupying someone else's place for a long time, actually start to believe they've become...
"Ah... Your Majesty, are you abandoning us?"
Just then, all the husbands ran out, their eyes brimming with tears.
Of course not!
Looking at her men, Ning Keke's eyes held a hint of doting affection.
My own men, I'll pamper them!
"Alright, don't worry, I'll take you all with me wherever I go!"
The husbands, who were just about to cry, instantly became happy.
At once……
Little Su Bao's eyes widened involuntarily upon seeing this.
Just as everyone was talking, a voice came from outside.
"What will happen to Skull Island if you leave?" At that moment, the man who looked like a skeleton walked in.
His eyes were fixed on Ning Keke, his fists clenched tightly.
Ning Keke raised an eyebrow, her eyes carrying a hint of coldness.
"I want it back, and it's none of your business. You've probably forgotten who you are!" Ning Keke had a smile on her face, but there was something indescribable about it.
The skeleton man looked grim; he hadn't expected Ning Keke to show him no respect in front of outsiders.
His eyes were filled with deep resentment.
But there was absolutely no way to solve it!
The skeleton man pursed his lips, then said, "What if I don't let you leave?"
"Who do you think you are? You... won't let me leave? What right do you have? Do you even deserve to?"
Almost the instant the man finished speaking, Ning Keke spoke up.
The man paused, then clenched his fist.
Little Su Bao stood quietly to the side with Hui'er.
At this point, the husbands also objected and started shouting in unison.
"That's right, we are the Queen's husbands. Who do you think you are, speaking to our Queen like that?"
"Yeah, you're so ugly, you wouldn't be hoping to have designs on our lady, would you!"
"That's right, you're ugly, but you have some pretty big ideas. Do you think our Queen needs an ugly monster like you?"
The sound of men arguing made Xiao Su Bao's lips twitch violently.
She absolutely doesn't want so many male husbands...
Raising ducks is better than raising a male husband!
Little Su Bao's terrified expression was seen by Mi Tu, who had just entered.
He paused slightly, then smiled somewhat helplessly.
“Island Lord…”
Mi Tu's voice was very soft, yet it instantly silenced everyone.
Whether it was the skeleton man or the other men, they all shut their mouths.
This smiling tiger is terrifying; you absolutely must not mess with it!
As they thought this, the fear in their eyes intensified.
"You've come at the right time. This guy is plotting to seize power. I'm leaving him to you!" Ning Keke rubbed her temples and then said to Mi Tu.
A hint of coldness flashed across Mi Tu's gentle and handsome face.
He looked calmly at the skeleton man in front of him. The latter wanted to explain, but Mi Tu made his move.
"don't want……"
The skeleton man turned to run away, never imagining that Ning Keke would actually have the heart to kill him!
He bit his lip, but his body was trembling violently.
"good!"
Mi Tu nodded slightly and politely led the people away.
It was as if he had come here solely for the skeleton man.
The men in the room exchanged glances, then said to Ning Keke, "My lady, let's go pack our things!"
They didn't want to go see a play...
Absolutely not!
Little Su Bao couldn't help but look outside.
I wonder what someone as beautiful as Mi Tu would look like when he gets fierce!
