Chapter 795: Finale (Part 1)

Although Xingxing already had some guesses in her mind, she was still startled when she heard from the man that there was a treasure map tattooed on Yang Xiangdie's back.

Seeing that Xingxing remained silent, the man did not seem annoyed and was obviously in a very good mood.

He walked up to Xing Xing and lifted her chin with his hand: "Princess, I'm curious, are you really not concerned about this and not afraid?"

Xingxing turned her face away and said nothing.

The man suddenly smiled again, obviously very pleased with himself, and didn't care about Xingxing's little resistance at all. He waved his hand and asked someone to take Xingxing away.

Fortunately, on the third night after Xingxing was tied up, Xingxing heard some unusual noises.

In the darkness, she suddenly opened her eyes.

The sound of fighting could be faintly heard outside.

The man who had tied her up came running over with a torch in his hand, no longer bothering to pretend to be confident and gentle, and fiercely grabbed Xingxing and was about to retreat deeper.

Xingxing's hands were tied, and she was dragged by the man, and she even bumped into the stone wall of the cave and stumbled.

It hurts a little.

But Xingxing smiled.

When the man turned around and saw Xing Xing's smile during his escape, he seemed to be stimulated. He gasped hysterically and his eyes turned red: "What are you laughing at, huh? What are you laughing at! I tell you, even if I lose, I will take you with me before I die!"

Xingxing just smiled and didn't respond to the man's hysterics.

"You lost." Xing Xing only said this and didn't say anything else.

Xingxing's words were like a proverb, and the man was defeated afterwards.

Wei Shiyan, Yu Yonghuai and Yu Yonggui brought people in to kill. Wei Shiyan was so bloodthirsty that he was the first one to rush into the cave. He risked being shot by an arrow in order to rescue Xingxing and held her in his arms.

And then… the man knew he had failed, and with injuries all over his body, he fled into the underground cave as depicted in the treasure map and detonated the explosives.

In a critical moment, Yan, Yu Yonghuai and Yu Yonggui ignored everything else and hurriedly protected Xingxing and left.

Fortunately, they escaped from the cave before the landslide.

Yu Yonghuai and Yu Yonggui were the first to go to see Xingxing, who was being protected in Wei Shiyan's arms. Their faces showed a sense of relief, and they murmured, "Luckily we rescued her."

Yu Yonggui said bitterly: "It's really a good thing for that guy to be buried underground! I originally wanted to send him to Chaoyang Tower to be executed!"

Xing Xing wanted to smile at her brothers Yu Yonghuai and Yu Yonggui, but when she saw Wei Shiyan's bleeding shoulder, she felt her heart tighten: "...Brother Yan, put me down first, I'll bandage you."

Wei Shiyan looked down at Xing Xing in his arms. He seemed not to hear her voice and said in a hoarse voice: "...I can't live without you."

Xing Xing's heart was pounding. She uttered a low "hmm" but insisted, "Put me down first. I'll take a look at your injuries."

Wei Shiyan finally listened to Xingxing and let her go.

Xing Xing hurriedly checked Wei Shiyan's wound - it was the arrow wound he received while trying to save her.

Wei Shiyan had already pulled out the broken arrow without a care in the world, and used the medicine he carried with him to stop the bleeding.

Now that he had been running with Xingxing in his arms for so long, the wound had already reopened, and blood had soaked most of his shoulder.

Xing Xing suppressed her heartache and quickly treated Wei Shiyan's wound.

Looking at Xingxing's red eyes, Wei Shiyan wanted to say, "I'm fine," but his body swayed and he fainted from losing too much blood and fell on Xingxing.

On the return journey in the carriage, Wei Shiyan was forced by Xing Xing to rest in the carriage due to excessive blood loss.

"Fortunately, I was alert and brought a spy with an excellent sense of smell, who followed the powder you scattered along the way." Yu Yonggui was also in the carriage, talking a lot, mainly bragging about how powerful he was.

Xingxing knew that her fourth brother was afraid that she had suffered in the past few days, so he deliberately livened up the atmosphere.

She also cooperated, not wanting to make the atmosphere too miserable, and smiled: "When I woke up, I found that they only took the sachet on my waist, but the secret medicine bag on my sleeve was not taken away. So I carefully used the rope that tied me to rub the medicine bag, so that the special medicine powder would be scattered as the carriage moved. Sure enough, Fourth Brother was so powerful that he followed the trace of the medicine powder and tracked me down."

"That's right, you don't know, when you disappeared, we were all very worried..." Yu Yonggui thought of something, glanced at Wei Shiyan again, and coughed.

Now that Wei Shiyan was still in the car, he would not tell Xingxing in front of Wei Shiyan how Wei Shiyan went crazy at that time.

Xing Xing thought of something: "It's Yu Mingzhu..."

Before she finished, Yu Yonggui nodded impatiently and took credit: "Don't worry, don't worry. As soon as you disappeared, my spies found out that this matter was related to Yu Mingzhu. It happened that we arrested a maidservant named Qi Huang who was close to her a few days ago. That maidservant was also very stubborn. She didn't vomit anything after being tortured in the torture hall for several times. Later, it was Grandma Daxi who was very helpful. After knowing this, she directly gave us a bag of intestinal perforation poison that was said to increase the pain many times. We used it on the maidservant, and she couldn't bear it and told us everything. We immediately arrested Yu Mingzhu."

Yu Yonggui paused for a moment and then said, "There are also some unexpected gains..."

Yu Yonggui explained in detail.

For example, Yu Mingzhu had indeed known about her biological parents.

Even the fire and the disaster that wiped out the entire family were planned by her.

Yu Mingzhu has now been imprisoned.

When Xing Xing heard this, she was a little sad for a moment.

What Yu Yonggui didn't say was that as soon as Yu Mingzhu got into trouble, the old concubine of Prince Cheng's Mansion immediately cut off all ties with Yu Mingzhu.

These are all trivial matters.

Wei Shiyan sat aside and listened quietly.

He had lost too much blood and his face was a little pale. He didn't say a word and just stared at Xing Xing.

Yu Yonggui was still sighing: "You don't know, after you went missing, our grandpa and grandma were so worried that it felt like the sky had fallen. And your grandpa and grandma in the Xin Guo Mansion were also very worried..."

Xing Xing still felt a little guilty: "If only I had been more careful."

Yu Yonggui was anxious: "How can you be blamed for this? It's all because of that Tuoba guy!"

Xing Xing then realized that the man who kidnapped her was indeed from Xiyi, and his surname was also Tuoba, but of course, he was different from Tuoba Chi. He was born in the royal court of Xiyi, and was the one who was exiled after losing the struggle for imperial power in Xiyi.

They heard from somewhere that there was a secret treasure of the royal family of the previous dynasty in Daxia, and they had been hiding in Daxia for many years. In fact, not only Mingzhu, but also many other ladies were infiltrated by the Tuoba clan and leaked a lot of information unknowingly.

Yu Yonggui could guess that there would be a big commotion later.

"Fortunately, the Tuoba clan blew up the place where the treasure of the previous dynasty was buried, otherwise, who knows how much more trouble would have happened." Yu Yonggui sighed.

Xingxing hesitated for a moment and didn't respond.

She's not sure yet.

She had the other half of the treasure map in her hand, which now seemed to be another way to the treasure.

However, now that the entire treasure of the previous dynasty had been destroyed, she would rather the treasure never see the light of day and cause less turmoil.

Xing Xing sighed.

…

Xingxing and her friends' carriage entered the capital city silently.

Wei Shiyan went back to the palace first.

Before returning to the palace, Wei Shiyan seemed to have something to say to Xingxing, but Yu Yonggui stayed by her side all the time, so Wei Shiyan was unable to speak.

Xing Xing seemed to be touched. She raised her little face and smiled at Wei Shiyan: "Take good care of yourself. I will come to see you when you are better."

Wei Shiyan looked at Xing Xing steadily and nodded slowly.

After Xingxing and the others separated from Wei Shiyan, they returned to Yu's house.

As soon as Xingxing's carriage came to a stop, Mrs. Wei, who had heard the news, rushed out of the house, hugged Xingxing, and kept looking her up and down, her eyes red with excitement: "As long as you come back safely, as long as you come back!"

Xing Xing felt warm in her heart and hugged Grandma Wei: "Grandma, I'm fine. It's all my fault. I made you worry."

Xing Xing's sensible words made Mrs. Wei's nose sour: "Silly child, how can this be your fault?"

Mrs. Wei held Xingxing in her arms, thinking about the fear she had suffered in the past few days and how she couldn't sleep at night. She almost cried.

Fortunately, the child returned safely!

"Come on, come on, everyone at home is waiting inside." Mrs. Wei turned her head away, wiped away her tears, and walked towards the mansion with Xingxing in her arms, "We have to celebrate well today!"

Of course, Mrs. Wei did not forget, and sent someone to report the news to the Duke's Mansion.

Xingxing had planned to visit the two old people at Duke Xin's Mansion after dinner, but she never expected that the two old people could not wait and came directly to Yu's house to see with their own eyes whether Xingxing was safe and sound.

In addition to the Duke Xin and his wife, also present were Jiao, Yu Chongjie, and Yu Chongen, who were still in the capital.

Jiao had lost a lot of hair in the past few days. Especially when Yu Mingzhu presented all kinds of evidence, Jiao was completely devastated.

Such a cruel person, she almost lost her own daughter because of her!

Although Yu Chongjie and Yu Chongen had long realized that Yu Mingzhu was not the innocent sister they had imagined, it was not until the evidence was laid before them that they realized how blind they had been before!

But Xingxing, having escaped death, does not want to hear the confessions and apologies of these so-called family members.

She only met the old couple, Duke Xin.

As for the others, what does that have to do with her?

…

Xingxing rested at home for two days before entering the palace.

However, he never expected that he would be stopped by Princess Youluo of Nanzheng on the palace road.

Princess Youluo looked Xingxing up and down. After a long while, she sighed and said, "I couldn't win over you."

This incoherent sentence left Xing Xing confused for a while.

Youluo pursed her lips but turned away without explaining.

Xingxing thought Princess Youluo was very strange, but she didn't take it too seriously. She shook her head and continued walking forward.

But before they had even walked halfway through the long palace corridor, Wei Shiyu jumped out again: "Xing Xing!"

Xing Xing laughed: "You and Princess Nan Zheng have made an appointment, so you two can take turns to scare me?"

Wei Shiyu suddenly became nervous: "That southern barbarian? Didn't he say anything nonsense to you?"

Xing Xing was still a little puzzled: "No? She just said something to me, inexplicably, and ran away after failing to win over me... What was I fighting with her for?"

Wei Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "Don't pay attention to her, she's just crazy."

Xing Xing looked at Wei Shiyu for a while and said generously, "Okay."

Wei Shiyu came over and walked forward side by side with Xingxing, looking like he was trying to make small talk: "You came to see my mother?"

"Yes."

"Aren't you going to see my second brother?" Wei Shiyu coughed.

Xing Xing looked at Wei Shiyu strangely and said, "Of course I have to go and see him."

Wei Shiyu was visibly happy: "Hey, okay, okay."

Xingxing was helpless. Why were there so many people here today, one or two of them, so strange?

When Xing Xing and Wei Shiyu went to Zhaoyang Palace, coincidentally, there was another person in Zhaoyang Palace.

The fourth prince Wei Shibu was kneeling there, begging Queen Nie.

"Mother, I really didn't know what kind of person she was before." Wei Shibu looked much more haggard. "I didn't know a lot of things she did. If I knew even a little bit, how could I agree to marry her!"

Wei Shibu kowtowed to Queen Nie several times, "Please help me, mother!"

Empress Nie sighed, obviously not wanting to get involved in this matter: "This is a marriage granted by your father's decree. If you want your father to revoke the decree, you should ask him."

Wei Shibu kowtowed to Queen Nie again: "Mother, Father, Father, I will not see you... If I were to be engaged to such a vicious woman, it would be a disgrace to our royal family!"

Empress Nie frowned and finally said reluctantly, "Okay, get up. I will talk to your father."

Wei Shibu was overjoyed: "Thank you, mother!"

When Wei Shibu came up, he saw Xingxing and Wei Shiyu coming.

Thinking of how he had just begged for mercy and was seen by others, Wei Shibu's face froze and he retreated awkwardly.

When Queen Nie saw Xingxing, a genuine smile appeared on her face: "Xingxing, come up quickly, let me take a good look."

After Xingxing bowed, she went forward as she was told.

Queen Nie pulled Xing Xing and looked at her from left to right: "It's good that everything is fine, it's good that everything is fine."

Xing Xing whispered, "But His Royal Highness Prince Cong...was injured because of me."

Empress Nie smiled and said, "Don't blame yourself. Although his father and I feel sorry for Ah Yan's injury, a real man should not be hurt if he wants to save someone important."

Xingxing felt a little embarrassed.

Especially the phrase "important people".

Xingxing lowered her head.

Queen Nie suddenly changed the subject and talked about Wei Shiyan's Cong Palace: "...wasn't Ah Yan previously named Prince Cong? His palace has been under renovation by the Ministry of Works, and many places need to be renovated. Let Ah Yan take you around later, and see if there is anything that doesn't suit your taste, and where should it be changed?"

Xing Xing let out an "ah" and didn't react for a moment.

But she was very smart and understood quickly. She exclaimed "Ah" and her face turned red.
