Since Xiahou Jing and her daughter were very alert, Hua Qingcheng could only follow them from a distance. Unexpectedly, the two cunning guys had already prepared a boat to escape, so Hua Qingcheng borrowed a fishing boat and gave chase.
Unfortunately, the other party's ship was bigger, faster, and more stable. Hua Qingcheng, unable to catch up, could only return to Tianfu Inn to see if the two had left any clues. Unexpectedly, when she returned, she learned that King You was besieged by a pack of wolves.
Seeing the large number of wild wolves and worrying that the wolves would harm innocent people, Hua Qingcheng took out her submachine gun without hesitation and fought a fierce battle with the wolves without hesitation.
"You are so awesome, Fourth Princess!" Nalan Qiudi looked at Hua Qingcheng with admiration - the submachine gun in her hand.
"There's only this one, no other semicolon."
Seeing the other party staring at her pistol with shining eyes, Hua Qingcheng then discreetly put the submachine gun back into the study of the space villa under the cover of her clothes.
"Don't be so stingy, lend it to the third princess to have a look..." Nalan Qiudi rushed directly towards Hua Qingcheng, but unexpectedly, the other party dodged it easily.
"The wolves have been killed. I have something important to do, so I'll leave first." After saying that, Hua Qingcheng, who was worried about finding Hua Rongsheng's wife and husband, planned to turn around and walk towards Tianfu Inn.
"Hey... Fourth Sister, don't you want to see your adoptive mother and father and..."
"What did you say?" Hua Qingcheng was struck by lightning. Before Nalan Qiudi could finish his words, she tightly grasped his arm. Her expression became extremely solemn, and she asked in a stern voice, "Are they in your hands?"
Nalan Qiudi almost vomited blood in anger when she heard this. She clearly treated Hua Rongsheng and his wife as guests of honor and entertained them with delicious food and drinks. How come when it came to Hua Qingcheng, she thought they were "in her hands"?
"Fourth sister, Hua Rongsheng and her husband are indeed guests at Prince You's mansion right now," Nalan Qiudi explained helplessly. "To be honest, your third sister recently received an expedited letter from the Empress Mother, sent over eight hundred miles from the capital. She asked me to help find the missing Hua Rongsheng and her husband, and to capture Xiahou Jing and her daughter, as well as Gongyang Jiezhen..."
Nalan Qiudi chattered endlessly about her hardships, from the painstaking planning, to casting a wide fishing net to find people, to the tremendous effort she took to find Hua Rongsheng and his wife. She talked incessantly, like the endless flow of the Yangtze River.
When Hua Qingcheng heard this, the huge rock that had been hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground temporarily.
"Thank you, Third Sister." Hua Qingcheng said sincerely, her words full of gratitude, like the warm sunshine in spring, warm and gentle.
Nalan Qiudi never expected that this arrogant princess would willingly call her "royal sister". She couldn't help but be stunned.
"We are...we are all family, no...no need to be polite." Nalan Qiudi said embarrassedly.
Although Nalan Qiudi did spend a lot of effort to find people, Hua Rongsheng's wife and husband came to her door on their own initiative. She still felt a little guilty about Hua Qingcheng's gratitude.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
At this moment, a guard from the palace came galloping like a whirlwind. Before his horse stopped, he jumped off impatiently and stepped forward to salute Nalan Qiudi.
"Why are you so flustered?" Nalan Qiudi asked with a dark face.
After all, it is already the hour of Chou on the fourth day of March. If there is no emergency, why would the guards be in such a hurry?
The guard bowed and said, "Your Highness, General Tian has sent word that the traitors Xiahou Jing and Xiahou Yu, mother and daughter, have been apprehended."
