Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 629 The third update has passed
Under the corner outside the East Palace.

Ning Xiuyuan, who originally thought that Ji Wuyan was bringing two "experts" to explore the East Palace at night, looked at Xi Yu standing outside the carriage and frowned with dissatisfaction, "Why are you here? Where is Wuyan?"

Xi Yu shrank her neck again, her eyes evading, and hesitantly said, "Auntie, the girl is inside..."

Before he finished speaking, the eyes on his head were obviously sharper and colder, and it was so cold that his heart was frightened.Xi Yu naturally knew that this question was almost unanswered, but he really didn't know how to answer it. What if he said that not only did he not stop Miss Ji, but he was even left outside the East Palace by Miss Ji and watched the girl helplessly. Have you risked your life?
Ning Xiuyuan gritted his back teeth, wondering whether to throw such an ineffective subordinate into a desert and train for a few years, or whether to make dozens of boards and then throw them into the desert...

Xi'an coughed and asked on his behalf, "Since the girl is inside, why are you here? Didn't I ask you to take good care of and protect the girl?"

Why?Xi Yu also wanted to ask why.

He is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. If the girl urges him, not to mention the East Palace, he will dare to go to the Imperial Palace. The biggest risk is his life!When the girl said she wanted to visit the East Palace at night, he stopped her but didn't stop him. He thought that since he didn't stop him, he would definitely accompany her to protect her. Who knew that when they arrived outside the East Palace, the girl said she wanted to leave someone to come and take care of her... So, he was left behind. Got off.

He's just not that smart compared to smart people like the girl and the master, but he's not a fool either... With the girl's skills, what's the point of leaving someone outside to take care of her?If the girl misses, she will naturally be fighting for her life inside. Then she will have to act according to the circumstances as to where to escape. How can she determine the place of rescue?If the girl had never failed, would she need someone to support her on this tall wall?How to respond?Wait for the girl to jump down and catch her?

To put it bluntly, the girl has a problem with herself and doesn't want to take her into trouble.

As for why you have a problem with yourself...isn't it because of your master?Xi Yu pursed her lips, unable to hold back her infinite grievance, and muttered, "If the girl hadn't wanted to see the master but didn't see him, the girl wouldn't have left the subordinate behind..."

Ning Xiuyuan was startled, "When did she come to see me?" As he said that, he looked at Xi'an, who also shook his head. He had been following Ning Xiuyuan from beginning to end, so naturally he didn't know.

"Just before the girl was about to break into the East Palace at night, when her subordinates stopped her... She asked her subordinates to go to Duke Ning's Mansion to meet you, but you were not in the house... Then the girl decided to visit the East Palace at night and come to Aunt Yun's house. ." Xi Yu said, feeling puzzled and a little aggrieved, "Master, you said you were busy, and the girl has never asked you to coax, pamper, and take care of everything like other girls' families. Now, When something happens in Fengchenju, when a girl wants someone to give her advice the most, even just to comfort her is good, but you just..."

Ning Xiuyuan pursed his lips and looked a little ugly.

If Xi Yu considers himself to be the best at "assessing the situation" on ordinary days, when will he wait until now?But now that he had started this, there were some things he didn't want to say, "Previously, no matter how busy you were, no matter how inappropriate it was late at night, you would come to Ji's house to see the girl, but now... you just let your subordinates The next generation conveyed such light and irrelevant words, which no girl would be able to handle."

Seeing that this boy was talking more and more enthusiastically, Xi'an couldn't help scolding her in a low voice, "You don't know anything, so don't talk nonsense. How could Master leave Miss Ji alone?"

"Don't know what?" "Master is..." The words came to her lips and she stopped them quickly. Xi Anxin glanced at Ning Xiuyuan with lingering fear. Seeing that the other party seemed to be in a trance, she changed her words and said, "Master cares about Miss Ji. Yes, don’t make any assumptions about the masters, things are not what you think.”

"It's not what I think? What do I think? Xi'an, tell me, since what happened in Fengchenju and Aunt Chaoyun was taken away by the prince, has the master not even had time to see the girl? Yes. Didn't I just send you here to deliver a message? Do you want to listen to what it said? Don't be impatient or act rashly... How could the girl not know that her night visit to the East Palace was a desperate act? But what did you ask her to do? Sit down. Are you waiting at Ji's house? Xi'an, if you were kidnapped by the prince, do you think the master can sit at home and wait for an uncertain ending? Even the person who promised him the ending will not even be able to see him once."

Xi An choked. For the first time, he felt that the boy in front of him was much more eloquent and...much sharper than before. He looked at Ning Xiuyuan with some worry.

Under the night, Mr. Ning's expression was a little unpredictable and vague. He motioned to Xi Yu, "You continue."

He didn't sound angry.

Although Xi Yu was a little scared, she still sighed and continued, "Master. I don't know what happened, but if you don't tell me, the girl won't know even if you don't tell me. She only knows that the master is there when she needs it most." There is no one around. What do you think she will think? Will she think you are working hard for Chaoyun's affairs, or will she think that men are all idiots who don't know how to cherish..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he was Xi Yu suddenly stopped talking and stopped speaking so quickly that he even burped...

Ning Xiuyuan ignored this live treasure and only glanced at her lightly, "It seems that you are too loose when staying with her. You are becoming more and more unruly and you dare to say anything."

Xi Yu covered her mouth and shook her head repeatedly, looking at Xi An: Help!
Xi An shook his head, helpless, but after all, he did not risk death, so he changed the topic lightly, "Master, we have been here for a long time, but we haven't seen any movement in the East Palace... Counting the time, no matter what Miss Ji is looking for, If you can't find Aunt Chaoyun, you should leave. Otherwise, let's go back to Ji's house and have a look?"

Ning Xiuyuan shook his head, "Wait a moment." The little girl's temperament was such that she would never return without success easily. If Chao Yun had not been found, she would have turned the entire East Palace upside down overnight.

The autumn wind rustled, and the leaves on the roadside fell rustlingly. The watchman's voice came from not far away, and with the late autumn night wind, the voice added a chill to the bones.

Xi Yu shivered, wrapped the collar of her clothes, and quietly squeezed towards Xi An.

Ning Xiuyuan pursed his lips and watched the dim stars flickering in the night sky. Something seemed to be falling heavily in his chest... The third watch had passed, and the East Palace was silent.
