Meet Up Outside the Palace (2)
Ye Mu listened carefully before glancing up at Zhao Mingyu. “Princess, give up because they will definitely follow you, but I can take a step ahead first.”
With that said, Ye Mu ordered those who brought them out to protect the princess, and then, ignoring Zhao Mingyu’s protests, went to the Temple Fair lantern riddles were being guessed.
Ye Mu remembered a few years ago, she guessed a lantern riddle and gave the most magnificent palace lantern to Wusheng; his brows then were illuminated by the glowing light. Thinking about it right now, she felt the memory was still so vivid, but in a flash, two years have already passed.
He once said that that day was the happiest day of his life. His happiness felt a little too simple.
Ye Mu thought about it, guessed a lantern riddle, then took a lamp and walked back.
Next time she visited Wusheng’s grave, she would give him this lantern.
After a short while, the direction she came from suddenly became frantic, and then she heard someone say, “Help! Someone was kidnapped!”
Ye Mu turned her head and found that, as expected, the noise was from Zhao Mingyu’s direction. From the moment they came out, Zhao Mingyu had been making a fuss. When she thought Ye Mu was not paying attention, Zhao Mingyu left a secret signal. It cannot be denied that just to spread news to Zhao Country, the princess has done her best as a spy.
Ye Mu walked back. Seeing that Ye Mu had returned, the palace guard quickly reported to her whilst shaking in trepidation.
“Miss, this subordinate deserves to die ten thousand times over. Just now, a lot of people suddenly rushed over. When the crowd dissipated, Princess Zhao mysteriously disappeared!”
Seeing the guards get worked up, Ye Mu smiled slightly and motioned for them to stay calm.
She waved, and Wen Feng, who had been hiding in the dark, came over and whispered in Ye Mu’s ear, “Someone abducted Princess Zhao. Although the princess looked panicked, she didn’t yell out. I’m afraid it was Zhao Country’s people. They went in that direction.”
Ye Mu held the lantern and nodded. “Okay, let’s go over there to look for them. Remember, make as much noise as possible. It’s best if you let everyone around you know.”
“Yes!”
At this time, Zhao Mingyu’s heart jumped into her throat!
She questioned the people in front of her, “What’s the matter with you? Why did you act so rashly, do you want to kill me? Didn’t I tell you to watch my hand gestures before acting?!”
The other people looked at each other, and then the leader whispered, “Sorry, Princess, a crowd just happened to come in your direction and we didn’t want to let such a good opportunity go. We ended up offending you, Princess!”
Although Zhao Mingyu was very angry, she also knew that it was not the time to care about this. She frowned and stuffed a hollow tube into the other person’s hand. She said nervously, “This thing must be handed over to Emperor Father. You can’t let it pass through anyone else’s hands, do you understand?”
A gloomy light flashed in the other party’s eyes. He nodded, and cautiously said, “Please rest assured, Princess. We will definitely protect it and bring it back!”
At this time, there was a noise from the people outside, and soon there were footsteps of officers and soldiers coming over.
Zhao Mingyu frowned and said, “You guys leave quickly!”
Her people were also a little panicked, and said without hesitation, “Yes, Princess, take care!”
Then they left.
When Zhao Mingyu saw them walking away, she pulled out a hairpin from her head and pressed it hard across her arm. Blood started welling forward.
She took a breath to calm down, then stumbled out.
