"Today is all thanks to Miss Ye, otherwise my poor daughter's second half of life would really be over. Miss Ye, you are really a great benefactor to our Zhenguo Mansion." The wife of the Zhenguo Duke was extremely grateful.
"When I got into trouble before, Madam and Yan Tianming also helped me a lot." Ye Xingchen replied.
"What we did was not really help, it was just some talk. If Concubine Yan is lucky enough to have a child, she will have hope for the rest of her life. I would like to thank Miss Ye in advance." Lady Zhenguogong's eyes became red as she spoke.
"How pitiful are the parents in the world." Ye Xingchen sighed.
The few people talked for a while before Ye Xingchen left with the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo.
As soon as Ye Xingchen left the palace gate, Su Ruoan and others who had been waiting there immediately rushed over and said, "Miss Ye, you are finally out. We have something important to discuss with you."
After all, the disappearance of the Regent was a serious matter, so Su Ruoan naturally did not dare to say it in public.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo understood: "Since they have something to do with Miss Ye, I will go back first. Thank you Miss Ye today. If Miss Ye needs anything in the future, just say I will come immediately."
"Okay, I'll take note of that." Ye Xingchen wasn't polite either.
After the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo left, Su Ruoan immediately pulled Ye Xingchen aside and said in a low voice, "Miss Ye, you don't know that the Regent King is missing.
Today we went to the study to look for the Regent and discovered that the book that the Regent usually read had fallen to the ground, and the secret guards in the mansion did not see the Regent go out.
We suspected that it was the emperor's doing, but our people searched the entire palace last night and couldn't find the regent.
Therefore, we have no choice but to ask Miss Ye for help. I hope you can help us find the Regent."
"Please help, Miss Ye." Zhan Bai also said.
Ye Xingchen didn't expect that Cang Boyi's men would search the entire palace in one night. This seemed to be quite a big commotion.
"You all can go back. There's no need to look for him. The Regent is fine." Ye Xingchen replied.
"What? Everything is fine. Then do you know where the Regent is?" Su Ruoan was extremely shocked.
"Please let Miss Ye know."
"I can only say that the Regent is very safe now. He will be back in three days. You just go back and wait." Ye Xingchen explained.
Su Ruoan wondered, could it be that Miss Ye was still angry about what happened last time?
"The last incident was indeed due to my regent's lack of consideration. I apologize to Miss Ye on behalf of the regent." Su Ruoan said respectfully.
"What he did has nothing to do with you." Ye Xingchen could still tell the difference.
"Then could Miss Ye please tell us where the Regent is?" Su Ruoan continued to ask.
"I won't tell you where he is, and you won't be able to find him. He will appear in three days, believe it or not." After saying this, Ye Xingchen walked away.
Zhan Bai slightly tightened his grip on the sword: "Miss Ye should still be angry."
"I'm not blind. Miss Ye is usually very easy to talk to. It's all because the Regent went too far this time. Now we can't find the Regent even if we want to."
"What should we do then?" Zhan Bai frowned.
"What else can we do? Go back and wait. If Miss Ye says three days, it must be three days. Remember, never offend a woman." Su Ruoan sighed.
Zhan Bai curled his lips: "Oh."
Three days later.
Su Ruoan, Zhan Bai, and Feng Yunmu were waiting at the door early in the morning like a couple waiting for their husbands.
However, they waited until noon and still hadn't seen the Regent, and the three of them became anxious.
"Miss Ye wouldn't lie to us, right? It's been half a day, why hasn't the Regent come back yet?" Feng Yunmu was suspicious.
"Why don't we go and ask again?" Zhan Bai suggested.
Su Ruoan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't go. It's only been half a day. Didn't you see Miss Ye's attitude that day? It's all the Regent's fault. Let's wait a little longer."
"All right."
As a result, the three of them waited until dark, but did not see the Regent come back. They became anxious and went straight to Ye Mansion.
Ye Xingchen was making tea with the servants around the stove in the yard. Several people gathered in a circle, eating and drinking, and it was quite lively.
Zhan Bai's face darkened when he saw this scene: "Miss Ye, didn't you say that the Regent would be back in three days? But we waited for a day and he didn't come back?"
Su Ruoan curled her lips and said, "Yes, Miss Ye, please be kind enough to tell us. I will ask my regent to apologize to you later."
"Miss Ye, please be magnanimous and don't bear grudges. Don't bother with the Regent." Feng Yunmu tried to smooth things over.
Ye Xingchen thought about it and decided that three days was indeed enough time, so he spoke: "In fact, the Regent has not left the palace. He has been in the Regent's Palace all the time."
Su Ruoan was extremely shocked: "How is this possible? The people in the palace even looked for the secret guards, but the entire palace didn't find the regent at all."
"Miss Ye, your joke is not funny at all." Feng Yun joked.
"I'm not kidding. You searched the entire Regent's Palace, but there is one place you probably missed." Ye Xingchen snorted.
"where?"
"He kidnapped me and where did he lock me up?" Ye Xingchen asked back.
With just one sentence, the three people were confused, and then they suddenly realized.
"Yes, we searched everywhere in the mansion, except the dungeon." Su Ruoan said in surprise.
"I didn't look for it either." Zhan Bai agreed.
"What are we waiting for? Retreat quickly!" The three people ran back in a hurry.
Sure enough, they met the Regent in the dungeon.
However, the regent’s face was extremely pale, his eye sockets were sunken, his clothes were disheveled, and he was sitting on the straw bed in the dungeon in a very strange posture, looking very embarrassed.
Zhan Bai immediately ran over and tried to help the Regent to unblock the acupuncture points, but the Regent was still unable to move.
"How could this happen?" Zhan Bai was puzzled.
"It must be Miss Ye who brought the Regent here. If she takes action, she will definitely use a talisman. Let's try the talisman she gave us before." Su Ruoan suggested.
Several people immediately took out talismans, and after a few talismans were used up, the Regent regained his freedom.
He collapsed directly to the ground and remained in the same position for three days. His whole body was in sore pain that he dared not move at all.
"Regent, how are you?" Su Ruoan asked with concern.
Feng Yunmu immediately helped him to feel his pulse, but as soon as he touched Cang Boyi's wrist, Cang Boyi gasped. The sour feeling made him feel so painful that he wished he was dying.
"I'm fine. I'm just numb all over." Cang Boyi said with difficulty.
"Hurry up and give the Regent a massage. He hasn't moved for three days and all the blood in his body must be blocked. Be careful." Feng Yunmu warned.
"Yes." Su Ruoan and the other two immediately helped Cang Boyi to massage, being extremely careful.
After about an hour, Cang Boyi finally recovered most of his strength. Looking at the sugar figures that had melted all over the floor in the secret room, Cang Boyi felt for the first time that he had shot himself in the foot.
"Xingchen, you are really cruel to me."
