Chapter 303 If anything happens to Yue Er, I will make you wish you were dead
"Niuniu, are you afraid of being alone in the cave? I'll go out and get some firewood, otherwise it will be cold at night."
Niuniu pursed her cracked lips when she heard this. A hint of uneasiness flickered in her clear eyes, but she still said firmly: "Niuniu...Niuniu is not afraid."
Lan Xiyue stared into Niuniu's forcedly calm eyes, feeling a mixture of emotions. She sighed softly, "Forget it. Come with me and pick up some dry firewood near this cave."
When Niu Niu heard this, her eyes lit up instantly and she nodded repeatedly, her little face filled with joy that was hard to conceal.
The two found some dry firewood near the cave.
Although Niu Niu was still young, she was very nimble and helped Lan Xiyue with all her might. Soon, they returned with a full load and carried a pile of dry firewood into the cave.
Soon after they returned to the cave, a deafening thunder was heard in the sky, followed by raging winds and heavy rain.
Lan Xiyue took out a lighter from the space, which she had exchanged for points before. In the faint firelight, the dry firewood was gradually ignited. The warm flame dispelled the coldness in the cave and illuminated Niu Niu's young face.
Niu Niu leaned against the fire, gradually feeling sleepy and her eyelids began to twitch.
Lan Xiyue looked at her distressedly and said softly, "Niuniu, go to sleep if you're tired. Sister is here, don't be afraid."
Niuniu forced her heavy eyelids to hold up, and looked at Lan Xiyue with eyes full of dependence, saying pitifully: "Sister, don't abandon Niuniu."
Lan Xiyue held Niuniu in her arms and let her sleep on her legs. She gently stroked Niuniu's little face, feeling the warmth under her tender skin, and softly comforted her: "No, sister will not abandon Niuniu."
Niu Niu seemed to feel Lan Xiyue's firmness and warmth, and finally closed her eyes with peace of mind, but her little hands still tightly grasped Lan Xiyue's sleeves, as if this was her only support.
Elsewhere, he dealt with the men in black, but he was still a step too late. Lan Xiyue seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, vanishing without a trace.
An Yi's figure shuttled through the rain. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He had been searching back and forth, but he didn't see Lan Xiyue's shadow. He was very anxious.
An Yi couldn't imagine what would happen if something happened to the princess...
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. An Yi's clothes were already soaked and stuck to his body. When the cold wind blew, the biting cold penetrated his heart, but he didn't care about so much. He just wanted to find Lan Xiyue as soon as possible.
However, time passed by minute by minute. An Yi searched everywhere, but there was no trace of Lan Xiyue. He lowered his head dejectedly, and the rain slid down his cheeks, intertwining with his tears. He couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.
An Yi had no choice but to give up the search and rushed back to the imperial city in a daze.
When he stood in front of Tianyi, dripping wet, Tianyi was so surprised that he was speechless.
He stared at An Yi with wide eyes and asked doubtfully, "An Yi, why are you coming to the Regent's Palace soaking wet instead of protecting the princess? Wait, this late at night, isn't it..."
An Yi was in no mood to listen to Tian Yi's chatter, so he interrupted, "Where is the master?" His voice was low and hoarse.
Tianyi's heart tightened and he felt that something was wrong.
He pointed in the direction of the study and said, "The master is inside..."
Before Tianyi could finish his words, An Yi had already rushed into the study.
Tianyi followed closely behind, only to see Anyi kneeling on the ground, reporting in a trembling voice: "Master, the princess is missing."
Mo Liyuan's body temperature plummeted upon hearing this, as if even the air itself had frozen. He put down his pen, his gaze sharp as a knife, his voice icy and devoid of any warmth: "What's going on?"
An Yi didn't dare to hide anything and told everything in detail.
Mo Liyuan's face became increasingly gloomy. He suddenly stood up, walked over, and kicked An Yi.
An Yi was kicked to the ground, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, but he didn't dare to complain at all. He endured the pain and got up and continued to kneel.
Mo Liyuan's eyes were wide open with anger, and he wished he could kill An Yi with one blow.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a cold voice: "If anything happens to Yue'er, I will make you wish you were dead. Tianyi, immediately summon the secret guards and go out of the city to search for Yue'er."
Tianyi glanced at Anyi, responded, and hurried down to summon the secret guards.
Mo Liyuan strode out of the mansion, his figure looking particularly lonely in the rainy night.
An Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and hurriedly followed him out.
The night was as dark as ink, and heavy rain was pouring down. At the gate of the Regent's Mansion, Mo Liyuan, dressed in a dark suit, jumped onto his horse. The sound of horse hooves echoed in the rainy night with a hurried sound. Behind him, a group of secret guards followed closely, silent and rigorous, like ghosts in the night, quietly shuttling through the rain.
The noise from the Regent's Palace naturally reached the emperor's ears, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Leaving the city on a rainy night, accompanied by secret guards, this undoubtedly meant his men had succeeded. The emperor pondered in his heart, if they had succeeded, why hadn't anyone returned to report it so late at night? His brows furrowed, and he paced back and forth in the bedroom in annoyance, calling out in a deep voice, "Youling!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow flashed by. Youling was wearing a tight black dress, kneeling on one knee, respectfully waiting for the emperor's instructions.
The Emperor's gaze was as sharp as a torch, and he said in a deep voice, "Go and secretly monitor the Regent. If there is any movement, report back immediately. Remember, you must not be discovered."
You Ling took the order, stood up and turned into a black shadow in an instant, disappearing into the bedroom.
Outside the city, Mo Liyuan and his group braved the heavy rain and searched everywhere for Lan Xiyue.
The night was dark and the heavy rain washed away all traces, making the search extremely difficult.
Mo Liyuan pursed his lips tightly, and a heart-pounding chill emanated from his entire body.
However, they didn't know that Lan Xiyue was curled up in a hidden cave under the cliff at this moment.
By the fire, she hugged Niuniu tightly and closed her eyes to rest in the warm firelight.
The next morning, Lan Xiyue slowly opened her eyes. Her legs were numb from sitting still for so long. She moved slightly, and Niuniu woke up as well. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked, "Sister?"
Lan Xiyue gently stroked Niuniu's face and asked softly, "Are you awake?"
Niu Niu nodded and sat up.
Lan Xiyue stretched her numb legs and took a long time to stand up and walk out of the cave.
The rain had stopped and the sky began to clear. She stood at the entrance of the cave, and Niu Niu came to Lan Xiyue.
Lan Xiyue lowered her head, her eyes gently falling on Niuniu's tender face, and asked softly, "Are you hungry?"
Niu Niu's little hand unconsciously touched her flat belly, shook her head, and answered crisply: "Niu Niu is not hungry." Before she finished speaking, an inappropriate gurgling sound came from her little belly, and Niu Niu lowered her head embarrassedly.
Lan Xiyue smiled. This little girl is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
