Song Huiru didn't take it seriously and didn't pay attention to Shang Beiyu's words.
Shang Beiyu also did not want to spend much time with Song Huiru, so he left after giving her the medicine.
The entrance outside the courtyard.
Song Hye-lan, like a little deer, is still waiting there.
When the shadow guard saw Shang Beiyu come out, he bowed his head with his hands behind his back in shame: "Your Excellency, Miss Huilan insisted on waiting for you and refused to leave."
"Your Excellency," Song Huilan blinked her dewy, doe-like eyes and greeted her joyfully, her innocent expression tinged with a hint of timidity.
Looking into her clear eyes, Shang Beiyu thought of the little bandit's bright and clear phoenix eyes, and couldn't help but feel more happy for Song Huilan. His voice was light and gentle, like a wind chime swaying in the breeze: "Why don't you go back to rest? Are you unhappy because you have to stay here and can't go home?"
"No, I'm happy. I'm very happy to be living with Your Majesty," Song Huilan quickly shook her little hand in denial, and hurriedly said, "I just want to ask when I can go home and tell my mother. Yesterday, the Ninth Prince's men suddenly took me away without my family knowing. I'm afraid my mother will be worried and sad."
Shang Beiyu said calmly, "I will send a letter home for you, so you don't need to worry. If you really miss your mother, you can have the Shadow Guard bring her to stay with you for a few days."
"Really?" Song Huilan was overjoyed.
The bright joy in those innocent eyes illuminated Shang Beiyu's eyes.
Her innocence is indeed somewhat similar to that of the little bandit.
Shang Beiyu turned to the shadow guard and said, "When you bring her mother here, blindfold her and do not reveal the location of this place."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The shadow guard accepted the order with his hands at his sides.
Shang Beiyu nodded slightly, summoned his longsword, and rode it through the air.
Song Huilan looked up at Shang Beiyu's back with admiration, and murmured, "Wow, Your Excellency is so handsome and powerful. I wish Your Excellency could talk to Huilan a little more."
Shang Beiyu returned to his residence near the Cold Palace.
Xiao Jianzi had been waiting there for a long time. As soon as he returned, she told Shang Beiyu about Shang Xiye's pledge to lead a western expedition against the Di Kingdom.
"He's going on another western expedition?" Shang Beiyu was somewhat surprised. "I didn't expect the Ninth Prince to be so ruthless and decisive. I thought he would enjoy the cozy days in the capital with the little bandit girl..."
At this point, Shang Beiyu suddenly remembered that the little bandit had followed him to Xiguan on the previous two occasions. He pouted and his expression darkened instantly.
Little Cocoon, unaware of Shang Beiyu's thoughts, said worriedly, "Your Majesty, this time we still haven't forced the Ninth Prince to rebel. Now he wants to launch a western expedition to attack the Di Kingdom. With Lord Meng Qi in charge of the Di Kingdom, the Ninth Prince will definitely not be able to conquer it. In that case, to kill the Ninth Prince, we probably have to wait until the end of the year before we can use the military pledge he made himself to bring him to justice."
A year?
Even if the Ninth Prince lives one more day, Shang Beiyu would still think it's too much!
"This time, we absolutely cannot let that little bandit follow us to the Northwest again." Shang Beiyu clenched his fist and lightly pounded the table. The sturdy pear wood square table was instantly covered with cobwebs and looked like it was going to be ruined.
Little Cocoon was slightly taken aback: Is what Your Excellency is thinking on the same wavelength as what he is saying?
Shang Beiyu walked to his desk, picked up a pen and wrote a small note, which he handed to Xiao Jianzi, saying, "Make two copies of this and send them to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor before they go to sleep. Be careful to hide the notes. Go in person and don't get involved with the Ninth Prince's Mansion again."
Little Cocoon glanced at the contents of the note and instantly understood: "Your subordinate understands, Your Excellency."
