Chapter 132 The Princess of a Lost Country is Everyone’s White Moonlight (7)
Yuebai swallowed the last sip of the medicine and listened to the lonely report, her delicate eyebrows furrowed.
"Fengshan, has anyone gone to the academy to welcome Zhou Qinghe back?"
Liao Luo thought for a moment and answered, "No, but the Queen and Xie are frantically amassing wealth and power."
Yue Bai sneered and asked, "Is there any situation with Zhou Mingxuan?"
"Princess, we don't have any personnel stationed on Zhou Mingxuan's side. The security around Zhou Mingxuan has been strict recently, and our people have no chance."
"It seems that the queen is still thinking about her own son. She is on such a strict guard. The emperor did not summon Zhou Qinghe back because he was thinking about Madam Zhong's son. However, the queen did not mention this matter. It seems that we have to return to the academy earlier."
Liao Luo cleaned up the medicine bowl that Yue Bai had finished drinking and suggested hesitantly, "Princess, although your health has improved a lot since the beginning of spring, you still need more time to rest."
"No need," Yuebai interrupted her, "Before I left, I promised Zhou Mingxuan that I would be back before the snow melted. Now I have broken my promise. I'd better go back as soon as possible."
Just as Yuebai expected, Zhou Mingxuan looked forward to the snow melting after the New Year, but when the willow trees sprouted new buds, Yuebai still hadn't returned.
Then one day, he was told that Yuebai was seriously injured and had a high fever. Zhou Mingxuan had no time to care about anything else and only wanted to find Yuebai.
But he was stopped by Zhou Qinghe.
"Sister, I think you don't want Junior Brother Xuan to get involved in what you are going to do alone," Zhou Qinghe blocked the mountain gate, "and there is news that the time is at Taoli Medical Clinic, Junior Brother should be relieved. If Junior Brother goes there and disrupts Senior Sister's plan, it will be bad."
"Do you know something?" Zhou Mingxuan had never felt so disgusted with Zhou Qinghe before.
"Junior brother, go back." Zhou Qinghe did not answer his question.
Zhou Mingxuan was born stubborn, he didn't listen to Zhou Qinghe at all and even retorted: "You usually care about my sister, but now she is seriously ill and you don't seem to be worried at all. The eldest son's friendship is really cheap."
No matter how angry Zhou Mingxuan was or how he irritated Zhou Qinghe, Zhou Qinghe still refused to let them go after receiving Zhong's order.
Finally, Zhou Mingxuan was tied up and carried to Mr. Feng.
After Zhou Mingxuan was sent away, Zhou Qinghe returned to his residence alone. When he closed the door, he saw his junior brother Jingyu, who usually followed him, kneeling on the ground.
"My Lord, I am not doing my job well."
"Get up. I asked you to send someone to protect Senior Sister, but you can't enforce it."
Jing Yu has always been Zhou Qinghe's own person planted in the academy, but he has not entered the inner gate, including all the people he arranged for to become disciples.
Yuebai was so perceptive that Zhou Qinghe didn't expect that his subordinates' little cover-up could be hidden from his senior sister. But in the final analysis, Yuebai got rid of his people because he didn't trust himself, who was about to become the prince.
Zhou Qinghe sighed and asked Jing Yu to stand up: "There is one more thing I'll leave to you to do. I need to know the detailed and complete information about Zhou Mingxuan and Senior Sister's life experience."
Jingyu nodded and went down. Zhou Qinghe sat down at the desk and watched as he picked up a pen to write a letter to Queen Liang.
When the willow branches sprouted new buds, Yuebai stopped and walked along the way, recovering the remaining forces of the Jiang Kingdom, and escorted Liaoluo all the way to a village.
This place is very strange. Liaoluo came back from exploring and told Yuebai that although it seems so chaotic, in fact everyone has martial arts skills, even the children, which is very strange.
The moment Yuebai stepped in, he felt it, although these people seemed to be disorganized, they had actually begun to be secretly on guard, and there was something unusual everywhere here.
He led Liaoluo through the village and continued on his way. After walking another five miles, Liaoluo said, "Your Highness, no one is following us anymore."
Yuebai stopped his horse, thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's find a place to stay first. I always think this village will be of benefit to us."
Whenever Yuebai walked through the village, she always felt a sense of inspiration calling her, so she decided to stay.
At midnight, Yuebai suddenly opened her eyes and the white tiger woke her up.
[There is the breath of Ji family. 】
【Brother?】
[No, it is a relic from a long time ago.]
【Go and have a look. 】
Yuebai hid and went to the village, and sure enough, he found a crescent jade pendant in a well, which was similar to the crescent mark on Yuebai's body.
The moment Yuebai got the jade pendant, a loud thunder appeared in the sky, the night sky was shattered by the lightning, and the people in the village woke up in panic.
But what they were greeted with was flames shooting up into the sky. Those flames seemed to have vitality and devoured every person.
Yuebai saw at a glance that there was tung oil on the doors of every household. The fire was burning very fiercely. In the firelight, Yuebai saw a little boy, who was thin and looked only about ten years old.
The boy seemed to notice her gaze and met Yuebai's eyes.
Yuebai curled his lips. What a sensitive little thing.
Since the things are already in hand, there is no need to delay any longer, so Yuebai turned and left.
"This is the remnant of the Dali Dynasty. I can take you to the royal treasury." The child said to Yuebai.
Yuebai stopped and signaled him to lead the way with his eyes. Sure enough, the child went around and around and finally came to an underground palace.
After entering the door, I found that there was someone in the underground palace, but he had been poisoned to death in advance. Yes, poisoned, not because the child in front of me was unconscious, but because he was meticulous and cruel.
"Master, I'll give you all these. Can you take me away?"
The child's face was dirty and his features could not be seen. His hair was dry and yellow, and his body was so thin that only bones were left. However, his steady steps and even breathing showed that he was extraordinary.
What attracted Yuebai the most was his eyes, which were clean and pure, and contained a naked desire to live.
A simple wish, at least Yuebai can do it.
"Since you called me master, I can't let you call me master in vain. Come with me." Yuebai walked around the magnificent underground palace twice and went back with the child.
When Liao Luo returned to his residence, he saw Yuebai bringing back a half-grown child. He did not ask where Yuebai had been or why he brought back a child at dawn.
He quietly put the food aside and served Yuebai until she finished her meal. Noticing that Yuebai looked tired, he considerately lit some calming incense and left.
Yuebai slept very well. When he woke up, it was already dusk. Liaoluo brought the washed and dressed child to Yuebai.
