The cold, bone-piercing night.
Ye Jinsu was standing at the window with her hair hanging down and only wearing a simple robe. The night was cold after the beginning of autumn, but Ye Jinxiu was still barefooted as she stood by the window.
After a long while, Ye Jinsu turned her head and picked up the sword that she had been holding on the stage for a long time, and with two strikes, she opened the door.
The silence of the night produced a few abrupt sounds, waking Xiao Hong who was next door.
Ye Jinsu stood in the doorway with her sword in her hand. The cold moonlight outside covered her face with a layer of frost. The cold aura of the sword in his hand caused Ye Jinsu's eyes to turn even colder.
"Treat me as your little miss, don't stop me." He put his sword back into its sheath.
Xiao Hong stared wide-eyed on the spot, not understanding what Ye Jinsu was trying to do.
"Little... Miss, it's late. Quickly rest. " Xiao Hong looked at the resolute Ye Jinsu and had a bad premonition.
Ye Jinxiu only gave her a glance before saying, "Help me bring Lingshuang to the back door."
After she finished speaking, Ye Jinsu turned around and went back into her room.
Little Red's eyes widened. It seemed to understand what Ye Jinsu was trying to do. She ran after him and grabbed Ye Jinsu, saying nervously, "Miss, it's already so late. What do you need Lingshuang for?"
Ye Jinxiu lowered her head and started to tie her hair, and a package was placed on the bed.
Little Red looked at the package and his expression changed. He kneeled at Ye Jinsu's feet, "Miss!" Miss, where are you going? "Miss, don't be rash. It's not worth it …"
Ye Jinxiu did not reply, she only looked at her and repeated, "Go and bring Lingshuang to the back door."
"No!" Xiao Hong shook its head and opened its arms to block the path in front of Ye Jinsu, "Miss, don't go. Are you crazy? The border is so far away, how are you going to get there by yourself? "
"I can't let you go!" Little Red started to cry. It tightly held onto Ye Jinsu's legs, not allowing her to do anything.
Ye Jinxiu lowered her head and looked at her. Suddenly, her brows trembled as she abruptly broke free.
"So he is dead!" I want to see his body too! " Ye Jinxiu bent over and growled at her in a low voice, her hand holding the sword trembling slightly.
If no one went to look for him, then she would go by herself.
Everyone gave up. She had to endure until the moment he was confirmed dead.
She was not so fragile, she had to be.
She just did not accept such an outcome!
Little Red refused to listen. She crawled up, closed the door, and shook her head crazily, not allowing Ye Jinsu to leave.
"Miss, do you know how dangerous this journey is? It's at least a month's journey. Even if you've reached there, it's impossible for Ning Wang to still be alive!"
"Then I want to see his body too!" Ye Jinsu shouted.
She stretched out her hand and struck towards the back of Little Red's head without hesitation. Xiao Hong's body went limp as it stopped crying and fell to the ground.
Silence reigned outside the house. Ye Jinsu picked up her bag and walked out.
Lingshuang, who was in the stable, did not sleep. She seemed to have sensed that something was going to happen tonight as she looked forward to see Ye Jinsu. Ye Jinsu looked at her and smiled gently, "You're also supporting me right?"
The docile and obedient Lingshuang rubbed her palm against Ye Jinxiu's palm, as if she was answering her question.
Ye Jinsu smiled and mounted the horse.
It was now the early hours of the morning, and only an hour remained before the city gates opened. When Ye Jinsu rushed to the city gate, there were already a few commoners who had woken up early and were waiting for the gate to open.
A white horse of Ye Jinsu's was standing amongst them, appearing exceptionally out of the blue.
There was still three quarters of an hour before the city gates opened.
Ye Jinsu could only wait.
In the Ye residence, Xiao Hong crawled up from the ground with her hands covering the back of her head. Someone come quickly!
The sound woke up Chun Hua, who was up early. Seeing Xiao Hong struggling to get up, he went over and asked worriedly, "What happened?"
Xiao Hong grabbed her, "Quickly go find Madam! Miss has run away. Miss is going to the border to find Ning Wang!"
"Quickly go and find Madame to stop the young lady."
Chun Hua was shocked. He looked at Xiao Hong with wide eyes, not daring to believe that this was true.
Seeing that Chun Hua didn't move, Xiao Hong hurriedly urged, "Quickly go and find Madam!"
Only then did Chun Hua wake up as if from a dream, and walk to Mrs Zhao's courtyard with trembling hands and feet. It was still not dawn yet and Mrs Zhao was still sleeping. She was awakened by her servant girl early in the morning and hurriedly said, "Madam, Madame, please wake up."
"The First Miss ran away from home, saying that she was going to the border to look for Ning Wang."
Mrs Zhao was so frightened that she sat up from the bed, put on a simple set of clothes and ran out. She grabbed Little Red and asked: "What happened exactly?"
Xiao Hong's eyes turned red and said anxiously, "My lady said that if I want to see their bodies, I want to see them. I …" "I can't stop him …"
Mrs Zhao anxiously clenched her fist, and ruthlessly hammered her palm.
She knew that Ye Jinxiu was a tough person, but she never expected her to do such a thing!
"Madam, what should we do first …" Xiao Hong was so anxious that it was about to jump up and down.
What if they met with danger outside?
What if he met a villain?
Mrs Zhao was so anxious that her mind was in a mess. If something were to happen, how could she afford to shoulder the burden? The Ye Clan was only a government official, so how could they stop Ye Jinsu with a few servants?
Mrs Zhao was also extremely flustered, but she still turned her head to calm down as she carefully considered the countermeasures. Suddenly, Mrs Zhao turned her head towards Xiao Hong and said, "Imperial Concubine Shu! Let's go find Princess Shu! "
Ye Jinsu was usually on good terms with her, so it would definitely be useful if she let Princess Shu make a move.
Xiao Hong also saw the glimmer of hope as it rushed back to the Mansion without stopping.
At this moment, Ning Yunquan and Madame Shu were also in their dreams. Mrs Zhao directly came to ask for an audience, her expression one of anxiety. Lady Shu immediately thought of Ye Jinsu. Could it be that something happened to Ye Jinsu?
The truth was as she had expected. Something had happened.
Not only was there an accident, it was also a major one.
Madam Shu's expression immediately changed. She turned around and looked at Ning Yunquan. "Quickly bring someone to stop him!"
As he spoke, he looked up to the sky. "Right now, there is still a quarter of an hour left before the city gates open. We have to bring him back! "
Ning Yunquan didn't say much and immediately changed into a new set of clothes before departing. This matter was something the Shu clan was anxious about, as was he.
He didn't expect Ye Jinsu to be able to do such a thing.
At the city gate, Ye Jinsu followed the crowd and waited for the moment the city gate opened. Many people noticed Ye Jinsu, but she didn't really care as they continued to stare at her.
With a whistle, the soldier on duty shouted, "Open the gates!"
The huge city gates opened and everyone rushed out.
Ye Jinsu was squeezed inside, and she didn't move quickly.
On the main road behind Ye Jinsu, Ning Yun was riding his horse towards the city gate.
Ye Jinsu turned her head and saw Ning Yunquan's men through the crowd of people. She just gave him a bland look before continuing to walk forward.
They were separated by the crowd, and Ye Jinsu was the first to leave the city. If Ning Yungang wanted to leave the city, he would have to wait for the people in front to finish their journey.
By the time he left, Ye Jinsu was already gone.
Ning Yunquan was anxious. Suddenly, he shot a glance at the people behind him, and began to open up a path for himself.
He had to stop Ye Jinsu.
