C179 Missing Father

When Xia Shui and I were at the entrance and watching the tightly shut gates and preparing to return, we saw Bai Jing walking towards us. Beside him were a few people, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, and they were also there.

I immediately turned around and pulled Xia Shui along to turn back, "I'm dead for sure, why is Bai Jing here? This place is not in the same direction as the Duke's Mansion." I muttered.

Xia Shui was also shocked, her hands and feet were in a mess as she looked at me with sweat pouring out, "Miss, the Duke and the general are here, what should we do?"

"We are disguised. Don't worry, let's not turn back for now. Let's wait for them to pass before we turn back. I hope they didn't see us just now." I whispered.

Then, he pulled Xia Shui's hand and moved him to the corner. Unfortunately, we were just right in front of someone's house, and it was just the two of us, so it was exceptionally sudden.

While I was praying, a pair of large hands patted my shoulder. I was startled.

"Sir, would you mind asking me for directions?" I looked back at Fifth Brother with a big smile on his face.

When I saw his mocking gaze, I knew that he had already recognized me. I could only lower my head in frustration. "Fifth brother, what a coincidence."

"Unfortunately, we saw you just now in the restaurant." Fifth Brother tapped my forehead with his finger.

"Ah, then why didn't you call me?" I said in surprise. No wonder I felt a chill on my back earlier. So there were so many eyes staring at me.

"You haven't said it yet, why did you sneak out. Where did you find this shirt?" Fifth brother looked at me with disdain.

"How is it? I'm not worse than you, right?" I proudly asked as I walked around the room for Fifth Bro to see.

"Alright, I'll deal with you later. You should go pay your respects to the Emperor first. " Fifth Brother pulled me along.

"Your majesty, I was stupefied as I looked at the man in front. I was wondering why he looked so familiar. So it was your majesty who was bestowed the title of princess. But he caused my death."

I went over and bowed politely. "We pay our respects to the emperor."

"Get up." I couldn't hide the laughter in my voice. I thought to myself, Is it that funny?

"You are the Princess of Rong that we have been conferred the title of. "It seems that I've also been mistaken about someone. I thought you were a girl from a noble family who followed the rules." The Emperor's tone was strange.

"I didn't force you." I whispered.

"What?" the Emperor asked again.

"No, I'm talking about disappointing the emperor. This subject is guilty, so the emperor should just remove the princess' title." I don't want to go on a marriage alliance in the future. I've already made some inquiries, this emperor just recently became emperor, and he doesn't even have a single empress in his official palace, not to mention a daughter and daughter. If I have to marry him in the future, then I won't want it.

"You don't seem to like this title." The emperor's tone repeated itself, feeling a bit angry. I was speechless, why was it so hard to serve.

"How could that be? This is a heavenly gift. It's just that I have to accept it for no reason. To suddenly become a princess, this subject is extremely terrified." I lowered my head.

"Alright, as long as I say that you can do it, you can do it." The Emperor waved his hand.

I could only give up and gloomily stand by fifth brother's side. Just as I stood up, I felt a wave of cold air attack me. I took a glance and I didn't know when Bai Jing came to my side.

"How did you get out?" Bai Jing's expression was a little scary. I hastily replied, "I didn't climb the wall. I walked out from the main entrance in broad daylight."

"About that, didn't I take your token yesterday? I forgot to return it. When I came to find you this morning, you were already gone, so I used your token to leave the residence." I said carefully. Bai Jing's expression became more and more heavy and unsightly as I kept looking at his expression. The first reaction in my heart was that he was dead for sure.

"If you don't want it, then don't blame me." I said quickly.

"Oh, right. Little sister, why are you here?" Fourth Brother had been looking at me from the side and was hesitating to speak.

"Didn't I just hear him praise this Miss Yan in the restaurant? He doesn't even fear nobles or powerful people, so I wanted to see how pretty she was." I replied calmly.

"You, really." Fourth brother said in disappointment.

"I was wrong." I can only say it weakly.

"Let's get down to business first." Fifth brother saved the situation in time, and I looked at him gratefully.

A few people strode towards the Yan Residence's gates. One of the emperor's imperial bodyguards went up to knock on the door.

Fifth Brother told me the purpose of their visit. It turned out that the father of Yan Huan did not go to court this morning, but there was something the emperor wanted him to do. It was mainly because he did not take a leave of absence, so the emperor came with them to visit.

In the imperial court, he was simply a person without a sense of existence. What big thing could he possibly have been given to him? Moreover, he did not go to the imperial court, so the emperor could have just casually sent someone over.

"I feel like I have caught a whiff of a conspiracy." "What about you guys? You guys came as well." I asked Fifth Brother.

"Of course we have to protect the emperor's safety." Fifth brother said.

"The guard knocked for a long time before someone came to open the door. A man over a hundred years old opened the door but only opened a small crack and poked his head out." Is there something you need? " he asked cautiously.

"We want to see your master." The guard said.

"Master, Master hasn't come back yet, he isn't in the mansion." The man said he was going to close the door.

"What did you say? Your old man didn't come to the court at all." Hearing this, Fourth Brother grabbed that person's collar and said.

"Impossible, I saw with my own eyes the old master's carriage, who are you?" The man looked at us with disbelief and hostility.

Fourth brother took off his identity token and showed it to the man, who immediately kneeled down in fear. "This little one has eyes but is unable to recognize Mt. Tai. May I know the purpose of this great general's visit?"

"Go find someone you can call the shots," Fifth Brother said impatiently.

That man immediately ran back. The door was just left ajar. I looked at the door and lamented, 'Those who don't know are innocent. How would he feel if he knew that he had shut the emperor out?'

He must be scared to death.
