Chapter 73: Extreme Joy Leads to Sorrow



Si Xueyi had no idea that a figure had sneaked into her room. By the time she became aware of it, her mouth had been covered by someone.

"Kind little lamb, I finally caught you, come with me!" Murong Hui's voice was like a devil hidden in the dark night, ringing in Si Xueyi's ears.

Si Xueyi's eyes widened, and she tried desperately to break free from Murong Hui's restraints, but the next second, she fainted and lost consciousness.

Murong Hui carried Si Xueyi on his shoulders and flew out of the room. He walked away in a leisurely manner in the chaotic Furong Garden as if he was alone.

"Your Highness, are we really not going to intervene?" In the shadows of another place, Jun Beiqi's face, which was changing from light to dark, was hidden in the darkness.

The guard Qinglin beside him frowned slightly when he saw Si Xueyi being abducted, but he still asked a question.

Jun Beiqi said nothing, just turned around and left, as if he had not seen Murong Hui kidnapping Si Xueyi.

The news of the fire in the woodshed naturally alarmed Lin Zhan. She tiptoed and looked in the direction of the fire. Then she said to Bixia beside her, "Sister Bixia, can you quietly go and see how the firefighting is going over there?"

"Yes, Miss." Bixia nodded and went to inquire about the news.

It was not until almost dawn that the fire in the woodshed was finally put out, and the news of Murong Hui's escape also reached Liu Qiuchan's ears.

"You useless guys can't even keep an eye on one person." Liu Qiuchan slammed the table angrily.

As the saying goes, an adulterous husband must capture the wife, and now Murong Hui has run away. According to Concubine Qin's cunning character, she will definitely not admit that Si Xueyi and Murong Hui met in private.

Just as Liu Qiuchan was thinking this, Concubine Qin also arrived, dressed as gorgeously and beautifully as ever, and said to her with a smug smile on her face, "Empress, I heard that there was a fire in the woodshed last night, but I hope you weren't hurt."

"I am so grateful for Concubine Qin's concern, but I don't know how sincere this concern is." Liu Qiuchan gave her a forced smile.

Concubine Qin chuckled and casually touched her hair. "The Queen knows that I am sincere, but fortunately no one was imprisoned in the woodshed and the fire did not spread. If someone was injured, it would ruin the Emperor's pleasure of traveling."

The two had been fighting for such a long time, so Liu Qiuchan naturally knew what she meant, which was that Murong Huidu was gone, so Liu Qiuchan naturally had nothing to say.

If Liu Qiuchan insists on holding on to this matter and disrupts the emperor's enjoyment of his trip to Furong Garden, no one will be able to bear the consequences.

The open and covert struggles between the two made the surrounding palace maids dare not even breathe, and the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Liu Qiuchan knew that it would not be easy to overthrow Concubine Qin, so she took a deep breath, suppressed her indignation, and suddenly showed a dignified smile and said, "Concubine Qin is right, everything is based on the emperor."

Hearing her say this, Concubine Qin heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that Si Xueyi's matter had been kept secret.

But just when Concubine Qin was temporarily gaining the upper hand in the confrontation between the two, a palace maid ran in in a panic and said to Concubine Qin, "My Lady Concubine Qin, something bad has happened. Miss Si is missing."

"What did you say? Xue Yi is missing." Concubine Qin immediately slammed the table and hurriedly followed the palace maid away.

Liu Qiuchan frowned and murmured, "Si Xueyi is missing, what's going on?"

As she spoke, she brought people to the courtyard where Concubine Qin lived, and found that Si Xueyi was not in the room.

Liu Qiuchan immediately ordered people to secretly search for Si Xueyi's whereabouts in Furong Garden, and absolutely must not alert the emperor.

Time passed by, but there was no sign of Si Xueyi. When Lin Zhan heard the news, she smiled. "As expected of a paranoid character in the book, Murong Hui is really decisive and took Si Xueyi away so quickly."

"Miss, what you mean is that Miss Si's disappearance has something to do with you." Bixia covered her mouth in disbelief.

Lin Zhan quickly suppressed the smile on his face, and then carefully placed his finger on his lips to make a hushing sound. "Sister Bixia, this is a secret between us, you must not tell anyone else."

"I'll listen to the young lady in everything." Bixia sighed in her heart, but didn't say anything.

But when I think of the power of Murong Hui's family, which is one of the most powerful in the world, as long as Murong Hui doesn't let go, Si Xueyi will never escape from his grasp, and will never be able to join forces with Jun Beiyu.

Lin Zan was extremely happy when he thought of this. It was worth celebrating as he had eliminated a strong enemy.

At the same time, Si Xueyi’s disappearance inevitably alarmed the emperor.

"What, Si Xueyi is missing? When did this happen? I just found out about it now." The emperor was furious.

Ever since Taoist Wuxu said that Si Xueyi was a woman with a phoenix destiny, even the emperor began to pay more attention to Si Xueyi. After all, this was a matter concerning the fate of the country.

The emperor directly ordered the Imperial Guards to search for Si Xueyi's whereabouts and find her at all costs.

Just when Lin Zhan was worried that the emperor would really rescue Si Xueyi with such a big move, she did not expect that joy would turn into sorrow, and Murong Hui actually appeared in front of her.

It was one night two days later. Lin Zan was lying on the bed resting, but suddenly she felt a pair of cold eyes staring at her beside the bed. Fear forced her to open her eyes suddenly.

"Little girl, we meet again." Murong Hui's eyes were looming in the darkness, like a cold and poisonous snake with green light, staring at Lin Zan closely.

Lin Zhan's small body immediately tensed up, and she started thinking of countermeasures with her eyes rolling around, but she fainted the next second, just like Si Xueyi.

"Give someone a taste of their own medicine. This time it's your turn." Murong Hui smiled grimly. This was before he took revenge on Lin Zan for the thing that made him faint.

When Lin Zhan woke up again, she had already arrived in a house built of green bamboo. The air was filled with the fragrance of green bamboo, which was not unpleasant.

"This Murong Hui is really capable. He was able to bring me out of Furong Garden quietly." Lin Zhan thought secretly in his heart.

At the same time, she also felt that she shouldn't be happy for too long. This was the legendary "excessive joy leads to sorrow". She never expected that Murong Hui would actually capture her.

The bamboo door was pushed open and Murong Hui walked in.
