Xiao Jianzi couldn't find Ji Fengyao's whereabouts in the palace, but she did learn that Shang Nanjue had gone out of the city to chase after the little female bandit. She immediately went to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to inform Shang Beiyu.
Shang Beiyu turned the Ninth Prince's mansion upside down, but he couldn't find any trace of the little bandit, nor even a single one of the secret guards that Hei Xiao and the little bandit usually accompanied.
"He must have gone to the Northwest to chase after the Ninth Prince again," Shang Beiyu thought to himself, finally realizing what was going on.
He had finally managed to get Shang Xiye out of the capital again, and he planned to spend this year cultivating his relationship with the little bandit.
If the little female bandit were to escape from the capital and reunite with the Ninth Prince in the northwest, all his previous efforts would be in vain!
"Your Majesty, Shang Nanjue has left the city to pursue Princess Chonghe. I'm afraid Princess Chonghe is..."
"I understand," Shang Beiyu interrupted Xiao Jianzi, and started walking towards the west gate.
Little Cocoon hurriedly followed and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to personally go and bring back Princess Chonghe?"
"Yes, I have already sent word to Meng Qi that the Ninth Prince must be killed in the Di Kingdom. If the little one joins the Ninth Prince at this time, it will inevitably affect the subsequent plans. I must bring her back," Shang Beiyu said, offering a plausible reason.
Little Scissors: "..."
Your Excellency's behavior is just like that of ordinary people who love but cannot have.
I hope that Princess Chonghe can feel His Majesty's deep affection and will not let him down.
Just a few miles outside the city, as Shang Beiyu was about to fly on his sword, he suddenly saw Song Huiru blocking his way.
"What are you doing here?" Shang Beiyu looked coldly at Song Huiru, trying his best to suppress the impatience in his eyes and tone.
"I've heard about what happened in the palace," Song Huiru said, a hint of sadness and stubbornness in her smile. "Is Your Majesty going to chase after that bandit?"
Shang Beiyu said coldly, "My affairs are none of your business. Get back."
"Does Your Majesty really want to give up what you've been searching for all this time just because of that bandit?" Song Huiru's eyes were full of calculation, her gaze sharp.
Shang Beiyu was slightly moved: "What do you mean?"
"Isn't Your Majesty investigating the origins of our Song family ancestors?" Song Huiru said calmly, "As long as Your Majesty gives up chasing that bandit, I will tell Your Majesty an important clue."
A murderous glint flashed in Shang Beiyu's eyes: "You dare threaten me? Believe me or not, I'll..."
“Your Majesty can kill me, but I must have something on me that Your Majesty desires but which has not been verified. What if I happen to possess what Your Majesty desires?” Song Huiru clenched her fists in fear.
But she wanted to keep Shang Beiyu even more!
She didn't want to be completely dominated by those bandits anymore, so she had no choice but to take a gamble.
If we win this bet;
If she could snatch Shang Beiyu from those bandits, then she would have won in life.
After that, dealing with the bandits was a piece of cake for her.
"Alright, I promise you, I will not pursue Princess Chonghe for the time being." Shang Beiyu remained silent for a long while, his gaze extremely cold, but he finally compromised.
Song Huiru, however, pressed her advantage, saying, "Please make a vow to Heaven that you will not pursue the bandit until he returns to the capital on his own."
Little Cocoon felt a chill run down her spine, and cold sweat broke out all over her face. She quickly whispered, "Miss Song, don't go too far!"
“I am the only one who knows this clue. I swore a solemn oath to Heaven when I came here. If anyone tries to force me, Heaven will forcibly erase and destroy my memories,” Song Huiru said without backing down.
