But they weren't stupid. Since the signal flare for the royal treasury had been triggered, someone must have secretly entered the royal treasury.
Even though there was no sound from inside the royal treasury, the guards with swords did not dare to let their guard down. They continued to surround the treasury tightly, worried that someone might escape from inside.
If the royal treasury is damaged today and they haven't caught the thieves, they themselves will be in danger!
No one dared to take the risk themselves, and everyone was doing their utmost to catch the thief.
When Xu Yuehuai saw the guards so tightly sealing off the royal treasury, he frowned and didn't know how to rescue Duan Nian and the others.
She realized that if she stayed here, she would be no match for these royal guards, so she could only quickly return the way she came and bring the news to Pei Xuan.
Then let Pei Xuan bring people over to rescue Duan Nian and the others.
After Xu Yuehuai came up with this idea, she quickly followed the plan and secretly slipped away while all the guards with swords were watching the royal treasury.
Following the scent of the sachet and guided by the insects, she returned the way she came and safely left the palace of the King of the Underworld Moon.
Immediately, she rushed to the Tianxianglou branch to find Pei Xuan.
Pei Xuan was shocked when he saw Xu Yuehuai dressed in black. At first, he didn't know who she was. He quickly drew his sword and pointed it at Xu Yuehuai.
"Who dares to come and harm my master in the middle of the night?"
Seeing that Pei Xuan had misunderstood, Xu Yuehuai quickly pulled off the black mask she was wearing and said to Pei Xuan, "Pei Xuan! It's me! I'm Xu Yuehuai!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Xuan looked closely and saw that it was indeed Xu Yuehuai!
He then put away his weapon and asked with some confusion, "Miss Xu, how could it be you? What are you doing wearing night clothes in the middle of the night?"
Xu Yuehuai quickly explained, "I just happened to see Duan Nian leaving with a large group of his men. Out of curiosity, I wanted to know what they were doing, so I put on my black clothes and followed them."
"What? Miss Xu, you've been going on the mission with Duan Nian and the others all this time? Why are you back alone again? What happened to them?"
Pei Xuan roughly guessed what Xu Yuehuai would do next.
Xu Yuehuai said, "Yes, I followed them all the way to the outside of the royal palace treasury. Not long after, a signal flare suddenly went off above the royal palace treasury, and their whereabouts were also discovered by the royal guards!"
"Duan Nian and the others are now tightly surrounded by that group of royal guards. They are in great danger, which is why I rushed back to inform you!"
Pei Xuan's face grew increasingly gloomy. He had no idea that such a situation would suddenly occur. Duan Nian was a very cautious person!
Their plan was absolutely flawless!
They had made preparations well in advance and even bribed some people!
But unexpectedly, things have turned out this way. Before they even found the red vine, the palace guards learned of Duan Nian's whereabouts!
"I'll take some men to rescue them right away. Miss Xu, you shouldn't come with us. You should stay here and make sure nothing happens to you. If anything happens to you, the Prince won't let us off the hook!"
Pei Xuan spoke with a very serious expression.
But just after he finished speaking, Qi Guze's voice suddenly came from inside the door behind him.
"What? I won't let you go?"
"What happened now?"
Qi Guze had just woken up and didn't hear much, but he did hear the last sentence.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai felt a little guilty, because she had gone on an adventure with Duan Nian that night because she was worried about Qi Guze.
If Qi Guze finds out, he will definitely scold me.
Xu Yuehuai decided to pretend she knew nothing, glancing at Pei Xuan beside her and urging him to speak.
Pei Xuan cleared his throat and quickly said to Qi Guze, "Your Highness, it's just that we made a few mistakes in brewing the medicine and wasted some herbs. We were worried that Your Highness would blame us."
"It's just some medicinal herbs. You've been with me for so long, I'm not so petty as to blame you for something so small."
"Don't worry about it. If you brewed the wrong herbs, you can just brew it again."
Qi Guze spoke, but he didn't really believe Pei Xuan's words. There must be other reasons behind this, otherwise Pei Xuan wouldn't be so worried.
He's not usually like this. How could such a small thing as brewing the wrong medicine cause him to have emotional fluctuations?
Just now, a woman's voice came from outside; it must have been Xu Yuehuai.
Qi Guze pretended not to know about Xu Yuehuai's existence and then sent Pei Xuan out to carry out his mission.
After receiving the instructions, Pei Xuan secretly entrusted the task of brewing the medicine to Xu Yuehuai, while he led the rest of the group to the Mingyue Kingdom's palace to rescue Duan Nian and the others.
Xu Yuehuai then went to the kitchen to brew the medicine, following the instructions in the prescription Pei Xuan had given her.
But looking at all the herbs on the prescription, they were all excellent medicines for treating internal injuries!
She guessed from the prescription that Qi Guze must have suffered some serious internal injury!
Qi Guze is now seriously injured and lying in bed, and it is unknown when he will recover.
If it weren't for the Red Vine mentioned by Duan Nian and the others, would Qi Guze's internal injuries have never healed in this lifetime?
For those who practice martial arts, internal strength is the most important thing in their lives.
However, if one suffers internal injuries and loses all internal energy, one is no different from a cripple.
Qi Guze has so many enemies around him. If they discover that he is now nothing more than a cripple, they will definitely send many assassins to kill him.
Qi Guze's current situation is extremely dangerous!
Xu Yuehuai was thinking about these pros and cons, and was particularly worried about Qi Guze at this moment.
We must find a way quickly, we must find the red vine! Only the red vine can save Qi Guze!
Just as Xu Yuehuai was concentrating on brewing the medicine, someone suddenly walked up behind her.
Xu Yuehuai was just pondering Qi Guze's matter when she suddenly noticed a dark shadow landing beside her.
She didn't know who had silently walked up behind her in the middle of the night.
Xu Yuehuai turned around, wanting to question the other party, but instead saw a familiar figure.
"Qi Guze? When did you appear behind me?"
The man was Qi Guze, wearing a moon-white outer robe, his face extremely pale.
