Chapter 279 - 277. Lets Go See Mother I (1/2)

Third-person POV

In the middle of the dreary forest, two tall figures raced towards the east. They leaped from branch to branch as if they were flying. But when they were halfway through their destination, Weisheng's speed abruptly slowed and came into a halt. Di Shang concernedly glanced at Weisheng and approached Weisheng.

”Your Maj-” Di Shang's voice instantly stopped at the sight of Weisheng's dark face.

With his clenched tightly on the side, Weisheng's red eyes glowed dangerously, ”I will kill her.”

”Haah…” A sigh escaped from Rong Ai's lips.

She gracefully sat on a wooden stool while her eyes were staring at the distance. One would assume that Rong Ai could keep her calm even under such a crucial but opposite to their expectation, Rong Ai's heart was beating frivolously and her brain was in a mess.

It had been more than 17 hours and there was still no news about Zhang Wei's wellbeing. Rong Ai had always been protective of her twin brother. She rose from her seat as she couldn't put up on pretense by sitting idly. She couldn't just put all of the burdens on her father's shoulder just because he said that everything would be fine. As Weisheng's daughter and Zhang Wei's sister, she must do something to help even if it was not much.

Rong Ai rushed to one of the steeds that were enjoying the lush green grass. She unfastened the rope that prevented the steed from running away and was going to mount the steed when a large hand lifted her up into the air.

Sensing that the person was not easy to deal with, Rong Ai fluidly pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and menacingly pointed her dagger on the eye of the person who caught her. Her hand instantly froze when she saw that it was the man that she was very familiar with.

”Uncle Xi?” Rong Ai said dazedly.

”Yes, my Little Princess?” Ah Xi smiled warmly despite the dagger was only an inch away from his eyeball.

(A/N: Ah Xi is Hong er's shadow guard as well as Ah Tong. Just as FYI, because I forgot their names lol. I admit that the character that I created was too many.)

Rong Ai immediately put down her dagger and her head lowered in guilt. Ah Xi helplessly smiled at Rong Ai and put her down onto the ground.

”Where is Your Highness Princess Rong going so sneakily?” Ah Xi asked jokingly as he tied the horse's rain back.

”Ah Wei was gone and I am going to help Imperial Father to find him.” Rong Ai said with her head lowered.

”Your Highness Princess Rong, please lift up your head.” Ah Xi warmly said to Rong Ai.

Rong Ai obediently raised her chin and stared at Ah Xi with her glassy eyes.

Ah Xi's heart instantly melted at the sight of the teary Rong Ai, 'The Little Princess looked exactly like Her Majesty Empress. So cute ah~'

”Aiya Your Highness Princess Rong, don't cry oh. His Majesty Emperor will definitely bring His Highness Prince back safely. And if His Majesty Emperor found you crying like this, my head would be gone ah, aiyo this is really bad.” Ah Xi acted as if he was very distressed by Rong Ai's tears.
