Chapter 726 He's My Husband

This night, the entire imperial city was very restless.

The people in the city can always hear the sound of neat and quick footsteps going back and forth on the street, and they can also vaguely hear some people's voices, as if they are looking for someone.

However, no one dared to stand up and watch, because they all knew that these people must be from Xuanluo Palace.

Until the early morning of the next day, there were still search teams going back and forth on the street, and even began to knock on doors and search from house to house, which made the people panic.

The inn where Yunxiyue and others lived was no exception.

A search team rushed into the inn aggressively, and the leader pushed away the oncoming shopkeeper.

"I'm here under the order of the Palace Master to arrest the fugitive. If you don't want to die, just step aside obediently. We will search for it ourselves!"

The shopkeeper said with trepidation: "Master, this villain is doing serious business, how could he harbor fugitives? Master, did you make a mistake?"

The leader turned his head and squinted at the shopkeeper, and said sharply, "What? Are you questioning me, or the Hall Master? I think you are tired of working!"

The shopkeeper was trembling with fright, and hurriedly said: "The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare, gentlemen, just search, the villain really didn't harbor fugitives."

"Whether there is any hiding, we will search." The leader snorted coldly, and then ordered his subordinates not to miss any corner of the search.

Immediately, there was a burst of terrified screams from the residents in the inn, as well as the sound of these people rummaging through boxes.

The rooms of Yun Xiyue and others were also broken into and searched.

If they didn't want to do something in the city, so as not to affect innocent people, I'm afraid these people would have died here already.

Yun Xiyue pretended to be panic-stricken, and hid behind Ji Xuanqing in fear, staring at the search team.

However, in her pair of clear almond eyes, there was a sharp killing intent hidden.

Ji Xuanqing carefully protected her behind her, and looked at these people with a calm expression, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.

The three people who came in to search turned around and came to the two of them after turning the whole room into a mess.

"Who are you? Why do you live in an inn?"

Yun Xiyue put on a trembling look, and said in a low voice: "We were passing through the imperial city, and we stayed here for a while to play for two days. Brother, what did we do? Why did you search our room?"

"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask!" The man said angrily, and when he turned his gaze to look at Ji Xuanqing, he was startled by his overly calm gaze.

I just feel that his gaze, under that calmness, contains a monstrous murderous aura.

The man was stunned before he came back to his senses, and asked again: "What is your relationship? Where did you come from? Where are you going?"

"He is my husband." Yun Xiyue still looked scared, and replied in fear, "He comes from a small place, and he is going to join my aunt in a small town not far from the imperial city."

Although she said these words to perfunctory these people, when she said the word "husband", Ji Xuanqing felt a burst of joy in her heart, even her eyes softened a little, and the corners of her mouth lifted up to wipe an imperceptible lightness radian.

It's just that the three of them didn't notice his strangeness and continued to ask.

No matter what they asked, Yun Xiyue answered properly, without arousing the suspicion of the three of them.

However, just as the three of them let go of their doubts and were about to leave, a slightly familiar voice suddenly sounded at the door.
