C41 (2/2)
When Baili Xing found out about Bai Zhiling's accident, he was slightly angry at her for causing him trouble, but he had no choice but to lead people to look for her.
”...”
”Congratulations to the Emperor for having hunted a big bear today.”
Within the Royal Manor.
Eunuch Rong De, who was served closely by Baili Yao, smiled as he came forward and said his compliments.
Baili Yao was also in a good mood. Today, the bear was the most ferocious one among all the prey, and he had even killed it himself.
”Let them cut the bear's paw for the broth today.”
”Yes.”
As they were talking, Praetorian Guard Commander Xu Weidong walked out the door.
”Your Imperial Majesty, the commander of the imperial guards, Lord Xu, requests an audience.”
Hearing that, a strange look flashed across Baili Yao's eagle-like eyes. ”Come in.”
”Greetings, your Imperial Majesty.”
”Get up.”
Seeing this, Rong De bowed and left, closing the study door behind him.
”The Emperor's prey has fled.”
The moment Xu Weidong said this, he kneeled down heavily.
Baili Yao squinted his eyes. The good mood from before completely disappeared. He lowered his voice and roared. Nonsense! So many people were able to make him run! ” He knew better than anyone what ”prey” Xu Weidong was referring to.
”Your subordinate deserves to die.”
”Your subordinate had clearly stabbed and injured the 'prey'. I never thought that the other party would actually hide helpers.”
”Helper?”
”Yes.” ”Hm?” Xu Weidong lowered his voice even more. They say it's a woman in a big red riding coat. ”
”Baili Yao's aura became even more sinister.” ”I've wiped it clean. Step down!”
”Yes.”
”Rong De.”
Rong De, who was guarding outside the door, walked in with small steps. ”Your servant is here.”
”Go check who is wearing a red riding suit today.”
Rong De was a bit confused, but he still accepted the order to send someone to investigate.
”Your majesty, Princess Yun has disappeared.”
Half an hour later, the sound of Praetorian Guard came from outside the door of the study.
No matter what, Bai Zhiling was Baili Yao's daughter-in-law, so it was normal for her to inform him directly about this matter.
”Princess Yun …” Bai Zhiling disappeared? Where did she go? ” Baili Yao pinched his eyebrows and asked impatiently.
”Prince Yun sent people to look for it. I heard Princess Yun's horse ran into the woods. We only found a dead horse and no traces of a fight. We suspect Princess Yun might have gotten lost in the woods.”
Baili Yao, who originally did not care about this, suddenly looked up. You said the horse was still there, but he's gone? ” Baili Moxun had been saved by a lady in a red riding suit. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?
”Your majesty, this servant has found out that Princess Yun is the only one wearing a red riding uniform today.” Rong De walked in at this moment.
”It really is her!” Baili Yao slammed the table and got angry.
”Your Majesty, please calm your anger …”
Only then did Baili Yao come back to his senses. Thinking about how his plan to assassinate Baili Moxun had been ruined by Bai Zhiling, he was so angry that his liver hurt!
”Send more people to look for him. We must find him for us!”
