Chapter 10

On the road, several men were riding on horses, leaving a trail of dust behind them, the leading man wore white robes embroidered with an unknown pattern on the cloth, the edges of the clothes lined with golden thread, the man was definitely one with a noble background. Looking at it again, the man’s handsome face was filled with deep worries, he was the eldest prince of the Tian Xiang Kingdom, Mu Tianchen.

“Mu Gongzi, has the palace lord really been taken to the Tian Xiang Kingdom?” asked a man in yellow, Huang Que of the seven gatekeepers.

“According to the sources, my second brother returned to the Tian Xiang Kingdom in a carriage half a month ago, but as far as I know, my second brother hates to ride a carriage, so it seems that he was with Yue Xin’er in the carriage bringing her to the Tian Xiang Kingdom.”

Nowadays, they are rushing to the Tian Xiang Kingdom. In a few days, they would arrive at the capital city of Tian Xiang Kingdom. Mu Tianchen is the eldest prince, as the eldest son, he also has his own quarters in the palace. But because he was afraid of hitting the grass and startling the snake, he didn’t know what to do at this moment. Lan Huang knew where his thoughts went, although to some extent, Mu Tianchen is his own rival, now, everything has been about the safety of Yue Xin’er. Plus, he always thought his identity was humble, not deserving of Yue Xin’er, and Mu Tianchen is better than himself in any aspect, this time he would get along, knowing that he loves Yue Xin’er more than himself, so he accepted it in his heart. Without much thought, everyone was arranged to live in the branch of the Crescent Moon Palace in the Tian Xiang Kingdom.

The group had been rushing for days, they were exhausted, but because they were worried about Yue Xin’er, they felt as if there was a baggage on their shoulders and quickly inquired the people of the branch for her news.

Seeing that everyone’s eyes are bloodshot, Lan Huang knows that looking for Yue Xin’er is not at a moment of urgency, they should all go to rest. Everyone looked at each other and understood that they could not rush for a while and went to rest in their own room.

As evening came, they woke up. Lan Huang asked the director of the branch whether there was news of Yue Xin’er, but director Wang said with a depressed face: “This subordinates sent people to search the entire capital, but there is no news of the palace lord.”

“Director Wang, you must first tell the servants to send dinner to the hall, I have things to say.” After the people excused themselves, Lan Huang said to the others: “It seems that Mu Tianlin brought the palace lord into the palace, tonight, we will enter the palace to see the situation. What do you think?”

“Okay. We wait until the third geng, then we will act. At that time, Lan Huang, Huang Que, and the Qing Niao will sneak into the palace with me. The less people enter the palace the better, so the others will stay outside the palace. If we are lucky, we will be able to save Yue Xin’er tonight.” Mu Tianchen made a decision, because he is still a prince, and he is familiar with the terrain of the palace. Lan Huang and the three of them have better lightness skill, so he chose them three to sneak into the palace.

Seeing that everyone has no opinion, Director Wang had the servants send in with the dinner, everyone said no more, and wait until the third geng to take action.

The third geng soon came, several figures in black flashed across the street and finally stopped outside the palace wall. Once the patrolling army passed, Mu Tianchen made a gesture, and jumped onto the palace wall, seeing that there were no guards around, he waved to the people under the wall, they fluttered in following behind.

After they had entered the palace, they did not hesitate and went straight to Yulin Palace. On the way, they evaded several patrols guards and because their lightness skill was good, they did not let the guards discover their intrusion. After arriving at Yulin Palace, they found that Yulin Palace was divided into several pavilions and decided to split up. Lan Huang goes to the west, Huang Que goes to the south, Qing Niao goes to the north, and Mu Tianchen goes to the east where Mu Tianlin resides.

After exploring several palaces, Mu Tianchen came to Tianyue Pavilion, he was crouched outside the window of Tianyue Pavilion, poking a hole through the paper window, as his eyes peered through the hole. In the beginning, there was only the sound of the water, covered in a white mist, he saw a woman leaning with her back facing him. He just wanted to see it carefully. Suddenly, he felt that a strong wind broke through the window and quickly ducked down. At a glance, it was a teacup that broke through the window. The person in the room was surprised because of the person peeking in.

“You peek through a window at a woman taking bath, how bold of you, why don’t you come in.” In the midst daydreaming, he heard the beautiful voice, he got excited and open the window and jumped in.

“Xin’er I finally found you, do you know how worried I was about you?” As soon as he jumped in, he draped his cloak on Yue Xin’er and held her his arms.

She thought that an assassin had entered the palace to assassinate someone, she did not think it would be Mu Tianchen, when she thought of how she had just hurt him, she was a little scared, but after thinking about it, he would come sooner or later, it’s just that she had just flirted with him while taking a bath, it’s good to take a cup and throw him. Just now, when she thought of how he might have seen other women take baths, she shoved him away. “You go away!”

Mu Tianchen saw her angry, thinking about it, knowing that she was unhappy because he accidentally saw her taking a bath, he quickly apologized, “Xin’er, don’t be angry, I did not deliberately peek at you during your bath. Besides, didn’t you just throw a teacup out? It almost hit me, you were going easy on me!”

“Hey, you still dare to say, if you did not unleash killing intent, I would not have thrown a teacup.” Yue Xin’er’s internal strength was high, at that time, only thirty percent was used, if she used her full strength, Mu Tianchen would have definitely been killed or injured.

“Right, Xin’er, how can you be alone? Where are the guards and palace ladies?” Seeing that she didn’t seem so angry, he quickly shifted the topic.

“Them? Because when I take a shower, I don’t like people nearby, so I drove them all away, otherwise, do you think that you could have made such a big move, without anyone catching you?” Then she looked around him and snickered. “However, you are the eldest prince of the Tian Xiang Kingdom it should be no problem if you are caught.”
