C17

After the banquet had ended, Xuanyuan Yun, the Regent, who had left the house, did not leave in a horse carriage. Instead, he chose to walk back to the house with interest.

Standing next to Xuanyuan, Windy saw that the street was under curfew and there was no traffic, so he obeyed the Regent's decision. Even without curfew, the Regent's decision would have left him with nothing to do.

The white robed Xuanyuan Yun walked along the street very slowly, each step clearly visible. When Ruofeng saw this, he felt that his own master had treated this street as the backyard of his palace.

In truth, Ru Feng was very happy that his own master was able to enjoy such a good show, but at this rate, he would probably only be able to return to his mansion tomorrow, and he couldn't help but feel a tinge of unhappiness in his heart. This was for the sake of Xuanyuan Wentian's safety, because his master had just been heavily injured a few days ago and had been recovering for half a month without being able to fully recover.

Just as the unhappiness in Ru Feng's heart was about to appear on his face, Xuanyuan Yun who was walking in front suddenly said in a low voice, "If you don't want to accompany me, you can leave."

Upon hearing these words, Ru Feng immediately knelt to the ground. "Your subordinate doesn't have any, your subordinate knows his wrongs."

Xuanyuan Yun slowly turned around with a gentle smile on his face. "This king didn't say anything." After he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Yun turned around and continued walking forward.

Ru Feng knelt on the ground with his head lowered, feeling gloomy. His highness didn't say anything, but he was much stronger than he was when he said it.

Just when his head was lowered to the point where it couldn't be considered low, Xuanyuan Yun who was walking forward spat out two words.

"Follow me."

Ru Feng was overjoyed, it seemed that the Prince was not truly angry, Ru Feng happily stood up and went back to Xuanyuan Feng's side.

After walking for a long time, Ru Feng gradually realized that his master seemed to be in a very good mood today, because he could feel the joys coming from his body. For a while, Ru Feng bravely asked a question that had puzzled him since he was at Hou Mansion.

"Prince, is that Third Miss of the Hou Mansion really stupid?"

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Yun's footsteps suddenly stopped.

When Rufeng saw this expression, he wondered if she had asked something she shouldn't have. It seemed like she had offended the prince several times tonight.

The streets were silent, and the occasional bird or insect made a faint noise.

Xuanyuan Feng had been silent all this time, but when he was about to give up all hope, Xuanyuan Feng slowly said, "She's not stupid at all, not to mention, she's a smart girl."

Not stupid? Smart?

How could that be!

Ru Feng raised his head in disbelief. "Your Highness, if she wasn't foolish, how could she have dared to do what she did tonight?"

The corners of Xuan Yuan's long and narrow eyebrows slightly raised, and after a moment he softly chuckled.

Yes, how could a man who wasn't stupid do what he did today?

Especially when she looked into his eyes. Those eyes were very clear.

Ru Feng saw his own master suddenly reveal a smile, becoming more and more confused. "Your Highness, what are you laughing at?"

"This King is laughing. To think that such a wonderful person has suddenly appeared in this world."

Wonderful person?

The girl?

But he couldn't see what was good about her, and he thought the girl was terrible, because everything she did and said was terrifying.

He couldn't help but recall what happened tonight. He couldn't help but look at the Regent once more, "Prince, she offended you today. Aren't you angry?"

This question caused Xuanyuan Yun's smiling face to gradually grow quiet. After a moment, he slowly raised his head and looked at Xuanyan Yue who was hanging in the sky, "Qi? Why is This King angry at a dead person? "

Dead?!

She had been brought out of the main hall safe and sound, so how could she have become a dead person in the mouth of the prince?

"Prince, didn't the emperor let her go?"

"Yes, we let her go, but after we leave, with Marquis Wei's temper, he would either smack her to death or whip her to death. Even if Marquis Hou did not have such a reaction, by the time he managed to react, she would have already died a long time ago."

That's right, who didn't know of the wild temper of the duke. Furthermore, with his valiant abilities, it was likely that the delicate and weak girl would be unable to evade him no matter how hard she tried.

Rufeng's eyes stared blankly, "So you're saying that the girl is dead?"

Hearing the strange tone in Ru Feng's voice, Xuanyuan Yun couldn't help but look at Ru Feng, "What? "You don't want to part with it?"

Upon hearing this, Ru Feng quickly shook his head. This joke could not be laughed at, "No, it's not."

No?

"What's that?"

Ru Feng clumsily explained, "Ru Feng just thinks that she's special. Ru Feng has never seen such a bold young lady before. It is truly amazing that she was able to leave after doing such a shocking thing."

Hearing Ru Feng's words, Xuanyuan Wentian's gaze suddenly froze on Ru Feng's face.

Retreat...

No, he let her go.

Moreover, the person who caused people to be shocked was him, the Regent Xuanyuan, who always hated women so much that he would easily forgive the offense of an unfamiliar woman. Furthermore, he had even subtly pleaded for her in front of the Emperor.

Xuanyuan Wentian's heart sank even more after thinking everything through. It was as if he had unintentionally broken all of his rules and done something unimaginable, only this matter was done in an extremely secretive manner and no one noticed it, including himself.

Rufeng saw that his master was looking at him, so he nervously touched his face. "Your Highness, what's wrong with Rufeng?"

Xuanyuan Wentian regained his senses in a flash, looked deeply into Ru Feng's eyes once more before he silently moved his gaze away.

Not what happened to Windy, but he, Xuanyuan. What happened?

Xuanyuan Guang quickly took a step forward, but this time, it was clear that his steps were no longer idle.

For some unknown reason, Ru Feng immediately followed. Although he was still confused, he didn't dare to say anything because he felt that the aura on the prince's body had changed and had become very heavy.

A prince like this was undoubtedly dangerous. He, Rufeng, did not dare to provoke him.

As he got closer and closer to the Duke's Palace, Xuanyuan Feng, who had not spoken a single word anymore, suddenly turned around and spoke to Rufeng without any end in sight.

"Even if it's special, in the end, it dissipated with death."

After he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Wentian turned and walked into the palace without looking back, leaving Ru Feng standing foolishly at the door. Even when he thought his way through, he still couldn't understand the meaning of his master's words.

After returning to the palace, Xuanyuan Hongxi didn't immediately go to rest. Instead, he leaned against the Dragon Throne in the imperial study and stared blankly at the imperial report.

Xuanyuan Hongxi's personal eunuch, Gao Yuan, stood not too far away with a blank look on his face. He really didn't understand what was going on with the emperor.

When he returned from the Hou Mansion, he would be in a daze from time to time. If this continued, he would suspect that the Emperor was possessed!

Gao Yuan really wanted to ask Xuanyuan Hongxi a question. Next, which concubine would he find to sleep in, or would he return to the Heartbreak Palace by himself?

But now, he really didn't dare to ask. If a daydreaming Emperor were to suddenly interrupt him, and he was unhappy, wouldn't his head be directly crushed?!
