Married to His Royal Highness the Remnant King

Chapter 178 Fishing in troubled waters

Shao Yao crept open the corner door and returned to the palace.

She was walking in the night against the wall, but she heard voices not far away.

"My lord, I have searched inside and outside the capital several times, but I still haven't found the princess."

In Xue Jian's tone, apart from worry, there was also a hint of doubt.

It's not that he doesn't want to continue looking for the princess, but that he has found all the places he should look for, and the bamboo basket is still empty. The result is really frustrating.

He even had to think about the worst, could the princess have been killed?
"Look! I want to meet people!"

Bei Chenqi gritted his back molars, and finally squeezed out the four words he didn't want to say: "I want to see a dead body!"

Even though, this is not the result he wants to see.

"Yes!"

Where Shao Yao couldn't see, Xue Jian and Bei Chenqi looked at each other, and chose to ignore it tacitly.

The innocent Shao Yao breathed a sigh of relief like the rest of her life, watched the two leave one after another, then walked out from the darkness, and returned to Changxin Palace without daring to stay for a moment.

Perhaps because of being too tired, Shao Yao slept very soundly that night, and slept until dawn.

She didn't even know when the prince returned to Changxin Palace.

Knowing that the next morning, she habitually went into the house to clean, only then did she notice that the curtains had been lowered.

She clearly remembered that yesterday she cleaned the inside and outside of the house, and the curtains were neatly hung up.

The young lady is at the young master's place now, so it is absolutely impossible for her to appear here.

Prince Qi was so busy looking for Miss's whereabouts that he didn't come back to rest for two whole days.

Could it be that there were thieves in Changxin Palace?
Shao Yao didn't dare to take it lightly, although her heart was pounding with fear, she still picked up a vase.

But looking down, this vase is the young lady's favorite, it must not be broken!

So, she put it down lightly, and picked up another blue and white porcelain next to it!

As everyone knows, this vase is priceless, much more expensive than the one just now.

"Who is it? If you don't come out again, don't blame me for being rude!"

It was too late to say it, but it was soon, Shaoyao opened the curtain, raised the vase and smashed it down hard.

The moment the vase fell, Shao Yao was so shocked that she forgot to breathe.

It's true that there was someone on the bed, but that person was none other than Prince Qi!
Shao Yao wanted to stop the movement of her hands, but it was too late, she could only watch the vase fall!

Shao Yao was so frightened that she closed her eyes, not daring to look at the bloody scene at all.

But after waiting for a long time, I didn't hear the broken sound and scream as I imagined.

The frightened Shao Yao opened a gap in fear, but did not see the bloody scene.

At the critical moment, Bei Chenqi had already nimbly reached out and grabbed the vase!
The sharp eyes pierced Shao Yao's heart like a sharp sword!

"My lord, calm down! My lord, be so angry! This servant doesn't know it's the lord, and this servant thinks he has entered into a villain! This servant deserves death!"

Shao Yao was so frightened that her feet went limp, she knelt down on the floor with a thud, wishing she could kneel down two holes in the ground.

"Get up!"

In fact, he had already noticed it from the moment Shao Yao entered the house.

The reason why she didn't say a word was just to see what this girl was doing sneakily recently.

"The servant really doesn't know that the prince is back! It's definitely not to murder the prince!"

Although Prince Qi did not pursue her responsibility, Shao Yao still explained sincerely.

After all, life was almost killed just now!
Even if the prince cut off her head for this, it is reasonable.

"Whoever doesn't know is innocent! Where did you go last night?"

Bei Chenqi handed over the vase and stretched lazily.

The implication is that when he came back last night, she was not in Changxin Palace!
Shao Yao held the vase in both hands, and replied cautiously: "I couldn't sleep last night, so I went for a walk in the garden! No wonder I didn't know that the prince is back!"

"I see!"

Bei Chenqi lowered his head and subconsciously looked at the soles of Shaoyao's shoes, only to see yellow soil stained on the sides of Shaoyao's white shoes.

There are stones everywhere in the palace, even in the garden, there will not be so much yellow soil!
Therefore, Bei Chenqi can almost conclude that Shao Yao lied.

"I'm hungry, go and prepare breakfast for me! It's good as usual!"

"Yes!"

Shao Yao didn't dare to look the prince in the eyes, and left the oppressive room as if fleeing.

Although the prince didn't punish her, and didn't even say a harsh word, but I don't know if she is too sensitive, and I always feel that the prince's eyes are intimidating.

As soon as Shaoyao walked away, Bei Chenqi immediately called Xuejian.

"From now on, you will stay in the palace!"

Bei Chenqi had already made a decision in his heart, and his intuition told him that Jiang Liuli must be safe and sound, and he had already got in touch with Shaoyao.

"Ah? Are you not looking for the princess?"

But after one night, why did the prince suddenly change his mind?

Xue Jian couldn't believe his ears at all.

"Of course I want to look for it, it's just a different way to look for it!"

Bei Chenqi squinted his eyes, as if he could feel that Jiang Liuli was not far away.

Xue Jian became more confused the more he listened, and patiently waited for the prince's next order.

"From now on, you'll be staring at Shaoyao! You won't be far away!"

"My lord suspects—"

Xue Jian suddenly realized that when he met the sneaky Shao Yao last night, he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to think about it after all.

How courageous and capable a little girl can be, her biggest idea is to sneak away from the palace!

Xue Jian has been so busy looking for the princess these days, he doesn't even have time to sleep.

He was still thinking that after resting today, he would take some time to have a good talk with Shao Yao.

Tell her that no matter whether the princess can be found or not, the palace can accommodate her.

Even if she insists on leaving the palace, he will help her!
But I didn't expect——

The prince pursed his lips and said nothing.

Seeing this scene, Xue Jian had mixed feelings in his heart, an indescribable feeling.

On the one hand, he was happy because the princess had news, but on the other hand, he was worried about Shao Yao.

"Don't startle the snake! If you have any news, tell me immediately!"

Bei Chenqi looked like he was sure of winning.

"Everyone is tired, the search is suspended! Let everyone go back to rest! The city gate has been closed for two days, and it is time to open it!"

Xue Jian was puzzled, how could the prince be so sure?
If it feels wrong, isn’t it——

"If the city gate is opened at this time, I'm afraid it's inappropriate?"

But Bei Chenqi said thoughtfully: "Is it possible to fish in muddy water? If you can find it, you should have found it long ago, shouldn't you?"
