C144 (1/2)
In Wen Yahan's room, Xuanyuan Zhiling was sitting beside his bed.
”How is it? Have you gotten used to living here for the past few days?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling's voice had never been so gentle before, and his eyes were like clear water that could be seen to the bottom.
”As long as you're here, there's nothing to get used to.”
Wen Yahan hugged Xuanyuan Zhiling's arm, and shook it coquettishly, with an ambiguous look in her eyes.
Xuanyuan Zhiling then took the opportunity to hug Wen Yahan in his arms and stroke her long hair.
”I know that you are very tired from coming all the way from the Soaring Wind Kingdom. Rest well.
He could clearly see the light that was flickering in Wen Yahan's eyes.
The moment he walked out of Wen Yahan's room, the smile on his face instantly cooled down to nothing.
”How is the investigation I asked you to do?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling asked in an extremely low voice as he walked.
His subordinate lowered his head and followed Xuanyuan Zhiling in an extremely respectful manner.
”Reporting to Your Highness, everything has been ascertained.”
After Xuanyuan Zhiling heard this, his face instantly revealed traces of a proud smile.
”Tell me about it.”
There was no emotion in the voice.
”After this Wen Yahan failed to assassinate the Emperor last time and returned to the Soaring Wind Kingdom, she received a lot of cold treatment. Her father felt that she had lost all her face due to the Soaring Wind Kingdom and also failed to live up to the years of nurturing her.
Xuanyuan Zhiling immediately understood what was being said.
”So she escaped?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling stopped in his tracks, the expression on his face somewhat tense.
”Yes, I think the reason she came this time around is to have a seat in our Phantom Fire Kingdom.”
As his subordinate spoke till this point, Xuanyuan Zhiling already understood everything.
”What a shameless woman. She still dares to come. I'll leave her with no return.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling started walking in the direction of Qin Feng's room.
”Qin Feng, Qin Feng?”
The moment Xuanyuan Zhiling opened the door, he shouted Qin Feng's name.
The room was empty, not even a trace of human life.
”Where's the wangfei? Weren't you all watching the wangfei the whole time?! ”
Xuanyuan Zhiling was furious, he ran out of the door and grabbed the two guards' collars, then lifted them up and asked fiercely.
”In reply to your highness, wangfei really hasn't taken even half a step outside the door, but we've been … we've always been on guard …”
Both guards insisted that they had not left.
”You didn't leave for even half a step, so why is the princess gone?!”
Xuanyuan Zhiling shouted, scaring the two guards so much that they kneeled on the ground in panic.
”Prince, we servants deserve to die, but we really didn't see the wangfei walk out.”
The two guards kowtowed to Xuanyuan Zhiling one by one, they were so scared that their faces turned pale.
Xuanyuan Zhiling brought the two guards into the room. His sharp eyes swept across the room like a fierce eagle.
”Search him now, I don't believe that he will disappear without a trace!”
With Xuanyuan Zhiling's order, the two guards did not dare delay in the slightest, and started to search Qin Feng's room.
They rummaged through the boxes until they found Qin Feng's cabinet. There was an extremely hidden passageway that they had spent a great deal of effort to find.
”Your Highness, it looks like the wangfei escaped through this tunnel.”
The two guards were already sweating profusely, but they still heaved a sigh of relief. If not for finding out the reason for Qin Feng's disappearance, their heads would have moved.
Xuanyuan Zhiling came to the front of the cabinet, and knocked on the floor of the cabinet. The hollow sound came out, and it was really empty underneath.
Xuanyuan Zhiling sighed slightly, his eyes revealed traces of sorrow.
This Qin Feng was really cunning to the extreme, even Xuanyuan Zhiling did not know there was a tunnel here, how did she, Qin Feng, know about it?
”Your Highness, what should we do now? Should we capture the wangfei immediately? ”
Two guards were respectfully waiting by Xuanyuan Zhiling's side.
”Right now, get the princess back. If you can't, then don't come back!”
Xuanyuan Zhiling roared, his face completely red, because his woman, Qin Feng, was gone.
After leaving, Xuanyuan Zhiling's emotions were extremely complicated, but he did not reveal it on his face.
”Butler, arrange something for me. I will write a letter and you can bring it to the palace for the emperor.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling came to the study room and quickly wrote a letter and passed it to the butler.
”Tell father that I, Xuanyuan Zhiling, will marry Wen Yahan.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression instantly became unsightly, the butler thought that Xuanyuan Zhiling was just throwing a tantrum after seeing such a situation.
”My prince, what about the wangfei if we do this?”
The butler never cared about Xuanyuan Zhiling's matters, nor did he offend Xuanyuan Zhiling, even if Xuanyuan Zhiling was an old butler now.
”You don't need to worry about the matter of the wangfei, this prince naturally has his ways.”
For some reason, when he thought of that name, his heart ached. Just where had she run off to?
Arriving at Wen Yahan's room, even though Xuanyuan Zhiling was in a bad mood, he tried his best to appear happy.
”Your Highness, you've come. I've only not seen you for a short while, so I can't help but think of you.”
Wen Yahan's charming mouth could act coquettishly, but Xuanyuan Zhiling had never played this game before.
”Ya Han, I've already asked the father. We're going to get married soon.”
When Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, his expression was somewhat complicated, but Wen Yahan did not notice it, and excitedly bounced up from the bed.
”Really? I love you so much, but … ”
The excited Wen Yahan a moment ago suddenly turned gloomy, her eyes lowered as if she had thought of something.
