Return To The City
Return To The City
When the last person was killed, Sima You Yue returned to the protection shield she had put up and removed it.
"Are you alright?"
"Naturally, we are alright." Gongzi Yuan replied, "How about you?"
"Di Si Kong's strength can't hurt me." Sima You Yue smiled, "Duke Gongzi has already brought men over. I have something to do, so I will leave first."
"Xi'er!" Gongzi Yuan tried to stop her. He wanted to talk to her about Xiao Ruo Bai, but he didn't know where to start.
Sima You Yue looked at Xiao Ruo Bai and said to Gongzi Yuan: "I don't think Ruo Bai has anywhere to go, please take good care of her. If you wish to stay in Great Yu, the Second Prince is a dependable person. You can seek him out directly."
"I…" Ruo Bai opened her mouth to speak, but said nothing in the end.
At this time, footsteps and voices drifted in from outside of the courtyard. Sima You Yue nodded at the two of them and after she had gathered her beasts together, she joined Huan in midair. The two of them looked back at them and disappeared into thin air.
By the time the others had rushed into the courtyard, all they saw was the devastation of the battle before and the two people who were still in a daze.
"Young Master, are you alright?" Gongzi Yuan's attendant rushed over when he saw his young master standing in a daze in the courtyard. He hugged him and howled: "Young Master! I've been so worried the past two days that you've been missing. You've scared me to death! Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Gongzi Yuan pushed him away with great effort and said helplessly: "How can I talk when you're hugging me so tight?"
"Oh, Young Master." The attendant stepped back and looked at him nervously.
"Young Master." One of the guards came over, "Are you alright?"
"We are fine."
"Where is this?" The guard glanced around, no doubt a great battle had gone on here.
"My friend rescued us earlier. I will report the other details to my father and the Prince later." Gongzi Yuan said.
"Yes. When the Prince learnt that you were missing, he sent guards all over the place to search for you." The guard said, "When we received news that you are here, we rushed over at once."
Gongzi Yuan guessed that once Sima You Yue knew they were here, she must have instructed her bees to inform his people of their location.
"Let's go. Since the Prince and the others have sent men to search for us during such a busy time, we should go back and let them know we are safe." He looked at Xiao Ruo Bai after he had spoken, "I didn't even get a chance to tell you what I mean before we were captured. What she said before she left was also my intention. Leave with me, whether you stay with me or the Second Prince in the future, at present, you shouldn't be alone. She doesn't want anything to happen to you."
Xiao Ruo Bai was a little hesitant at first, but upon hearing his last words, she nodded: "Alright."
After Sima You Yue left, she appeared at the city gate and walked back alone. As soon as she had walked through the city gate, she saw Murong Hui and the others rushing out. She called out hurriedly and stopped them.
"Father."
"Xi'er?" When Murong Hui saw her, he stopped his underworld beast. He jumped down and said: "Xi'er, are you alright?"
"Father, I'm fine." Sima You Yue shook her head, "Didn't I send someone to inform you that I am fine and that you don't have to look for me?"
"When the two guards from Great Yu Palace returned and said that you had left with someone else, how could I do nothing? The Prince told me to go back and I met Mingda and the others on the way. How could I not come out to look for you when you are missing?" Murong Hui said, "Fortunately, you are alright."
"Would I go with someone so easily? Naturally, I would only go if I was confident. Besides, I have Huan by my side. I will be fine with him by my side." Sima You Yue said.
"Well, do you know who captured you?" Murong Hui asked.
"Well… let's talk about that when we see the Prince." Sima You Yue replied.
Murong Hui knew that the person who had captured her must have had something to do with the situation at present, so he nodded and said to her: "Then let's go."
When they arrived at the Great Yu Palace, Gongzi Yuan and the others hadn't returned yet.
The guards led them directly to the Prince's study. The Prince of Great Yu was discussing matters with Yu Yan and several others inside. When the Prince knew that she had returned, he instructed the guards to bring them in directly.
"Xi'er, are you injured?" Yu Yan asked.
Sima You Yue shook her head and bowed to the Prince of Great Yu: "Prince, I think I have something to report to you."
The Prince of Great Yu had great trust in her now, so when he heard her saying this, he said to the others in the study: "You may all leave first, we will discuss the rest of the matter later."
Those people were a little surprised that the Prince of Great Yu held such high regard for Sima You Yue, even more so than Murong Hui!
They didn't dare to say anything to the Prince's orders, hence, they all stood up and left. After they had left, Yu Yan asked: "Xi'er, who captured you?"
"Di Si Kong." Sima You Yue said, "From the looks of things, Di Si Family Clan are also involved in this matter."
"Di Si Family Clan?"
"That's right." Sima You Yue said, "Although Di Si Kong isn't the Young Master of the Di Si Family Clan, he is also a leader among the younger generation. It is absolutely no coincidence that he has made an appearance now."
"But we didn't discover anyone from the Di Si Family Clan this time." Yu Yan said.
"Perhaps since the situation has come to an end, they decided not to waste anymore strength by sending men in." Sima You Yue said, "This is just my conjecture, I don't believe in so many coincidences."
"Especially as they have brought so many people."
"Your instincts have always been very accurate. Since this is how you feel, then we should pay more attention to this matter." The Prince of Great Yu said.
The Di Si Family Clan has always been the Ghost Concubine's right-hand men. Therefore, this time, there is no doubt that the Ghost Concubine and her people had planned this, and the Di Si Family Clan had a part to play." Yu Yan believed her, "Previously, their plans were relatively secretive. However, now that the Princess Consort's backing has been eliminated by us, they will not be able to cause any more trouble! Once we have dealt with this matter, we don't need to be afraid of anyone, not even the Di Si Family Clan!"
"Well, let's not worry about that for now." Sima You Yue said.
"Oh?"
"The men that Di Si Kong brought with him have all been killed."
"All killed?"
"Yes, that's why the Di Si Family Clan will not be able to reach her for the time being." Sima You Yue said, "But as to whether we will have good days ahead, is dependent on the status of Di Si Kong within the Di Si Family Clan."
"We don't know the internal affairs of the Di Si Family Clan very well." The Prince of Great Yu said.
"You should be able to find out quite easily." Sima You Yue said, "As long as you keep an eye out on them in the future, you should be able to find out any information quite easily."
Sima You Yue thought of Di Wu E in the Spirit Pagoda and asked him if he knew anything about him.
