Chapter 214 - 212. I Will Find Her No Matter What I (2/2)

At that moment, Weisheng glared at Shu Zhiruo as suspicion grew in his heart. If looks could kill, Shu Zhiruo would be dead long ago.

Why can't he go find his wife? What if Hong er was in danger and her life is on the line? Why a mere physician forbid him to do what he wants? Is she on the same side as the enemy? Is she one of the traitors? Hundreds of questions went through Weisheng's brain in a split second.

As if Shu Zhiruo could read his mind, she promptly denied, ”I'm not!”

”Then explain to yourself why I can't go?” Weisheng narrowed his eyes as he started to get impatient.

Since Hong er trusted Shu Zhiruo like her own family, Weisheng decided to give a second chance to give him a reason for prohibiting him from saving Hong er.

Shu Zhiruo clicked her tongue in annoyance and yelled, ”Can't you see we are also in danger?! I am worried about Hong er but if it is her, she would undoubtedly place her children above herself.

She pushed me into the secret passage and went to fight those Bei Zhou soldiers so we can save the princes and princesses.

But thank to that, we can make it in time when the prince and princess were thrown into the cliff.”

Weisheng gritted his teeth and hugged his baby tighter yet not enough to hurt the baby. Shu Zhiruo glanced at Weisheng and felt guilt-ridden.

”I know it is hard for you, but your children need you by their side. You didn't bring any back up with you and currently, our soldiers are fighting off the enemy. We can only depend on you. And I can assure you that they won't kill Hong er,” Shu Zhiruo said with her eyes downcasted.

Weisheng whipped his head up to look at Shu Zhiruo and asked with a disbelief tone, ”Why do you say so.”

”I accidentally heard the conversation between the Bei Zhou soldiers. It seems like they need Hong er alive for some reason and ordered to kill heir and heir apparent,” Shu Zhiruo said firmly.

Weisheng pondered for a while and his face turned darker than ink.

”Murong Qing…” Weisheng muttered under his breath.

Shu Zhiruo knitted her brows in confusion, ”Murong Qing?”

”I will explain later. Firstly, we have to go back to Fei Hong Palace.” Weisheng replied.

Shu Zhiruo nodded her head in agreement, ”En. That is the best option.”

”For Meiyun to travel from afar to Chang An in such a short time, it means she knows something.” Weisheng pondered.

”Meiyun?” Shu Zhiruo knitted her brows in confusion when he suddenly brought up Meiyun's name.

Then she realized something that she should have the first time she saw him here, ”Wait, how do you get here? Aren't you at the border?”

”Later, I will explain it. You hold the baby.” Weisheng gently handed the baby to Shu Zhiruo.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Since his power had been unsealed because of his mental breakdown, he would use it to the fullest.

Slowly, he opened his eyes and his eyes changed into how it looks when his power was uncontrollable. Shu Zhiruo shuddered in fear at the sudden drop in temperature around Weisheng.

Dark aura crept up from Weisheng's shadow and his shadow expanded tremendously in a blink of an eye. A loud neigh sounded out as a huge jet black horse shoot out from Weisheng's shadow.

”Get on. We must not waste any time.” Weisheng said with a grim expression on his face.

Shu Zhiruo and Jin Momo nodded their heads and mounted Xiao Hei. Weisheng made a circle gesture with his finger and two pitch-black spheres resembling portals materialized above Xue Lang and Yue Ying.

With his Qi, he lifted both of them up and gently put them into the portals.

”Wh-what is that?” Shu Zhiruo asked

”So I can take them without re-opening their wounds,” Weisheng replied without taking his eyes off the black spheres.

”E-en.” Shu Zhiruo obediently nodded her head and shut her mouth as she watched the spheres closed up into giant orbs.

”Let's go,” Weisheng instructed.
