"Ah Yue, I also have a question for you: why are you brewing medicine here so late at night?"
Qi Guze stepped forward and sniffed the medicinal scent in the air.
He immediately recognized it as the prescription he usually used.
"Is this medicine brewed for me?"
"Why are you brewing medicine here? Where are Pei Xuan and Duan Nian?"
Qi Guze's medicine is extremely important, and he would never entrust it to anyone he didn't trust to brew. It was always Pei Xuan and Duan Nian who took turns brewing the medicine for him.
But now, Qi Guze has just walked from the house to the kitchen and hasn't seen Pei Xuan and Duan Nian along the way. Even the number of hidden guards has decreased significantly.
Upon hearing Qi Guze's question, Xu Yuehuai quickly made up an excuse.
"Everyone has to go to the bathroom sometimes! They're busy right now, so they asked me to make your medicine for them!" Xu Yuehuai said, looking up at Qi Guze with a sweet smile. "Also, I wanted to do something for you, so I made the medicine for you. Don't you like the medicine I make?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Guze said calmly, "Of course I like the medicine you brewed for me, A-Yue."
"But can you tell me honestly where Pei Xuan and Duan Nian went right now?"
Qi Guze's eyes were very deep, as if they could see through all the gloom.
Xu Yuehuai felt guilty under his gaze and couldn't lie anymore, so she had no choice but to tell the truth.
“They should all be in the King's Palace of the Underworld Moon Kingdom right now!” Xu Yuehuai said.
Upon hearing this, Qi Guze immediately understood why Pei Xuan and Duan Nian had gone to the Mingyue Kingdom's palace.
They must have gone to find the red vine for him!
"This is utter nonsense!"
"Is the King's Palace of the Dark Moon Kingdom a place they can come and go as they please?"
"If they go like this, they will surely fall into someone else's trap!"
This is one of the reasons why Qi Guze never instructed his subordinates not to go to the Mingyue King's palace to search for the Red Vine Seed.
Xu Yuehuai was also somewhat anxious, "Duan Nian and the others are surrounded by palace guards in the royal treasury. Pei Xuan has now led people to rescue them!"
How do you know so much? Did you go there too?
Qi Guze immediately grasped the crux of the matter, and Xu Yuehuai could no longer hide it, so she bit her lip and nodded.
"How could you join in their nonsense? They probably can't handle this now, so I'll have to go myself. Don't go and cause trouble, go back and get some rest!"
As Qi Guze spoke, he pushed Xu Yuehuai out of the kitchen.
Xu Yuehuai said, "Sigh! I haven't finished brewing your medicine yet! And what are you going to do about it?"
Qi Guze said, "There are other people who will do the brewing."
"As for how I will handle this, don't worry about it. Just go back to your room first."
Qi Guze forcefully made Xu Yuehuai return to her room, and he also sent people to guard her, preventing her from going out and taking any more risks.
With Xu Yuehuai locked inside, she was no longer able to do anything.
Qi Guze changed into a set of night clothes and put on a black mask, then hurried to the Mingyue Kingdom's palace to rescue Duan Nian and the others.
When he arrived alone near the royal treasury, he saw Pei Xuan fighting with a group of palace guards.
Those guards were also highly skilled in martial arts, and Pei Xuan's men could only manage a draw against them.
Upon seeing this, Qi Guze immediately drew his sword and quickly joined the battle.
Pei Xuan and the others were completely bewildered, but once they saw the sword technique Qi Guze was using, they immediately understood that Qi Guze had come to help them.
"Master! Why did you come here in person? Your wounds..."
Pei Xuan approached Qi Guze from the crowd and quickly protected him.
I'm especially worried about Qi Guze, worried that he might get hurt here again.
Qi Guze said, "You guys really have gotten quite bold. Without my orders, who allowed you to sneak over here?"
"We don't need these red vines, but you still insisted on walking into the trap and taking this risk!"
He was truly disappointed in his men, never expecting that they would defy his orders and secretly come to the Kingdom of Mingyue to search for the Red Vine Seed, all for his own safety.
If this comes at a bloody price, with many people injured or killed, it's their own doing.
However, these people were people that Qi Guze had carefully nurtured for so long, who had stayed by his side for a long time, and who had gone through so many life-and-death situations with him. He still couldn't bear to see them get hurt like that.
"Master, it's all our fault!"
"You'd better leave here quickly! We can handle these things ourselves!"
Pei Xuan wanted to persuade Qi Guze to leave this place as soon as possible to avoid being affected.
Qi Guze said, "With just a few of you, do you think you can deal with so many royal guards?"
"If I leave now, you might all turn into corpses in a moment!"
Now that Qi Guze has arrived, he will not leave easily and will surely rescue Pei Xuan and the others.
Pei Xuan was deeply moved upon hearing this, never expecting that they were still very important in Qi Guze's eyes.
Although Qi Guze appears aloof and cold on the surface, he is extremely loyal and righteous!
After Qi Guze killed many royal guards, those royal guards are now terrified of him!
However, Qi Guze was seriously injured, and his combat strength decreased after a short while.
He quickly took out the pills and took some medicine to treat his injuries. His internal injuries were healed in an instant, and he quickly attacked the royal guards next to him!
"You thieves, prepare to die!"
"None of you will escape today! Quickly capture them all!"
"Now that you've entered the palace, you'll all have your lives!"
However, although the number of royal guards was decreasing, a large group of armored soldiers suddenly appeared from the shadows!
The soldiers, all fierce and valiant warriors, brandished their broadswords and charged fiercely towards Qi Guze and his group!
Soon after, they surrounded Qi Guze and the others.
"Your Highness! Stop fighting! You should run away! This is our fate. We didn't obey your orders. Even if we die, it's what we deserve!"
Pei Xuan and the others urged Qi Guze to leave the Mingyue Kingdom's palace as soon as possible, not wanting Qi Guze to be dragged down by them and die here!
