"Your Highness, are you alright?" Ji Fengyao followed closely behind, completely bewildered, and looked up at the sky in confusion as well.
Deep in the azure sky, the Heavenly Tribulation Baby sheepishly slipped away:
Why is this ancestor staring at me like that?!
He made a rash vow to Heaven; I was just doing my duty!
Shang Xiye reached out and took the little bandit's soft hand, his lips curving into a gentle smile: "I have the Heaven-Covering Stone on me, so it's alright. It's just that I almost hurt an innocent bystander."
That's all.
He turned and stared at Ah Xin, who was standing there dumbfounded, lost in her own imagination: "Do you need me to send you on your way?"
"Let's go..." Before he could fully recover, Ah Xin instinctively shrank his neck, feeling a chill run down his spine. He quickly said, "No, no, no, I wouldn't dare. I'll walk by myself!"
Before he could finish speaking, Ashin had already disappeared.
Shang Xiye: "..."
How come this thing runs so fast? He hasn't even asked if he should send someone to get him a better horse yet.
Ah Xin ran three miles in one breath.
Only after confirming that no one was chasing him did he dare to lean on his knees and catch his breath.
My God, that's terrifying!
So it was indeed him who stumbled upon the Ninth Prince's secret, which is why the Ninth Prince wanted to kill him to silence him?
But the reason he didn't chase after them...
They should spare his life and let him return to the capital to deliver gifts to the Imperial Concubine and the Thirteenth Prince, right?
Perhaps he has already sent assassins to follow him.
As soon as he hands over the items, someone will jump out from the shadows and kill him!
Ashin, with his vivid imagination, was so frightened by himself that he trembled all over.
He turned around abruptly and knelt down in the direction he had come from.
Gao Chengwei, accompanied by several close imperial guards, rode ahead at full speed and saw a servant-like figure kneeling and weeping in front of an empty space.
As he knelt and kowtowed, he kept muttering, "I am a servant born into the Yin family, and I am absolutely loyal to the Yin family. Even if you take my head, I will not say a word. Please, Ninth Prince, spare my life!"
Is the Ninth Prince in this area?
Gao Chengwei and several of his close subordinates looked around warily, completely bewildered.
Apart from that servant, no one else was found nearby.
Several people approached Ah-Xin.
Ah Xin was completely unaware, and continued to kneel and kowtow, sobbing uncontrollably:
Even the Ninth Prince didn't agree to his request, so how could he dare to get up?
"You're from the Yin family?" Gao Chengwei couldn't hold back any longer and asked in a cool voice while sitting on his horse.
Ashin looked up blankly: "...?"
These people are the ones sent by the Ninth Prince to kill him and silence him.
"Really, you all believe me, I swear, I didn't see anything!" Ah Xin patted his chest and assured them, "Besides, our master, young master, and empress are all sincerely on good terms with the Ninth Prince, so I would never harm the Ninth Prince. Please, gentlemen, spare my dog's life!"
Gao Chengwei raised an eyebrow: He knew it!
The old lady of the Yin family has always been in good health, so why did she suddenly become seriously ill and send people all over the world to look for medicine? It turns out that the Yin family was using this as a pretext to come looking for the Ninth Prince.
I really didn't expect that.
Consort Yin has been keeping a low profile in the palace lately, almost as if she doesn't exist, but she has secretly formed a bond with the Ninth Prince. She truly lives up to her reputation as the most favored woman in the harem; her methods are indeed formidable.
"Where is the Ninth Prince?" Gao Chengwei looked down at Ah Xin with his gaze fixed on her.
Ah-Xin: "...! You, you guys, aren't the Ninth Prince's people?"
Several Imperial Guards nearby rolled their eyes upon hearing this.
Gao Chengwei didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his identity: "I am Gao Chengwei, the commander of the Imperial Guards."
"Gao Chengwei!" Ashin's eyes widened, and he fell backward, shouting, "I'm dead!"
