“I’m sorry.” Fearing that he wouldn’t be able to escape as well, the young master immediately abandoned Xue Wufu and fled through the window.
He also took the rope that he had untied from the ground in case he needed it to climb over the wall and escape.
Although he could understand why the young master did not care about him, he still hoped that the young master would have at least tried.
“Your Highness, please come this way.”
Suddenly, an old man’s voice came from outside.
The Emperor?
Was it Xue Yan?
Why did Xue Yan capture him?
Thinking that it was Xue Yan who had captured him, Xue Wufu immediately felt at ease. Since it was Xue Yan, he would definitely be fine.
The sound of the door being unlocked eased his mind.
Then, the servants pushed the door open from both sides.
Following that, the guards stood on both sides.
“He’s inside.” It was the old man’s voice again. Because he was standing in the back, he couldn’t see what the old man looked like. He only knew that the old man was bowing at the door and was extremely respectful to the other person.
However, even though he was standing with his back facing him, he did not look like Xue Yan.
He was much shorter than Xue Yan. Although Xue Yan was still very thin, this person seemed to be thinner than Xue Yan.
The man walked in with his hands behind his back.
There was no longer any backlighting, and he could see everything very clearly. He saw that the person was dressed in a beautiful crown and had a thin waist. She was a girl of 17 or 18 years old. There was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. Golden dragons were embroidered on the clothes she was wearing.
A woman…
Xue Wufu was momentarily baffled.
How could a woman be an Emperor? Xue Yan was a man. However, he heard that the new Emperor of Beicheng was a woman. He recalled her name, Fu Ying. Could this girl be the new Emperor of Beicheng?
Once Fu Ying entered the room, she walked to the bed with her hands behind her back.
The butler of Prince Xu’s estate had his head lowered and followed behind her, moving very carefully.
When the butler saw Xue Wufu on the bed, he didn’t think much of it. Instead, the two servants who had followed him were standing at the door stunned.
What was going on?
Shouldn’t the man they captured be on the ground? Why did she run to the bed?
Moreover, he was not wearing a cloth over his head
His clothes were also different from when they threw him in a few minutes ago…
They did not think too much about it. Anyway, it was good that the man they captured was still there.
Because the man had a cloth over his head, they didn’t know what he looked like. They only knew that Prince Xu had sent someone to capture him and bring him back to present to the Empress. Who would have thought that just as they left her here, the Empress was out of the palace for a stroll and happened to pass by Prince Xu’s residence. She came in and heard that Prince Xu wanted to present someone to her, but Prince Xu hadn’t returned yet, so she decided to come and see if she liked him.
If she liked him, she would bring the person to the palace and save their prince from entering the palace to offer it to her.
As expected, this was the person he wanted to offer. Even with the gauze curtain separating them, they could see that this person was extremely handsome and very young.
How could Xue Wufu know what the two servants at the door were thinking? He looked young, but he was actually not young anymore. He was already 28 years old. In another two years, when he turned 30, he would be able to call himself an old man.
He only saw the girl walking towards him step by step with her hands behind her back, and he panicked.
Regardless of whether this lady was the Empress Fu Ying or not, she was not Xue Yan, and she was someone who could hurt him. He might be in danger.
