Dongfang Hao brought Ying Ying and Shang Tiancheng back to the palace.
Seeing that Shang Yiqing had not returned with them, Manager Li asked urgently, "Prince Qi, where is our wangfei?"
"Esteemed wangfei, she …" Dongfang Hao sighed. "Let's go in first."
Arriving at the great hall, when Manager Li heard that Shang Yiqing was still in the hands of King Xuan, he couldn't help but get angry until his hair fluttered, and he yelled out loud, "King Xuan dares to abduct my wangfei in broad daylight? Is there still justice in this world? "No, I have to go to Duke Xuan's manor and ask around."
"Manager Li, even if you go to Duke Xuan's estate now, you probably won't be able to see Princess Hua-Yang. Besides, she's in his hands. If there's any trouble, Prince Xuan will probably kill you, so there's no need to rush this matter." Dongfang Hao advised sincerely and sincerely.
Manager Li was so anxious that he pounded his chest. "Are you just going to watch as my wangfei falls into Duke Xuan's hands? "What kind of world is this?"
Ying Ying hurried forward to support Manager Li. "Manager Li, don't be impatient for now. Listen to what the Qi King has to say."
Manager Li, now that Princess Rong Rong is in King Xuan's hands, she should be safe for the time being. I think that since King Xuan has captured Princess Rao, he'll hurry up. Dongfang Hao was, after all, still a prince. Although he hadn't returned to the palace for many years, he was very clear about what happened in the palace. If King Xuan hadn't acted in a hurry, why would he have taken Shang Yiqing away in such a hurry?
When Shang Tiancheng heard these words, he immediately cupped his hands towards Dongfang Hao and pleaded, "Prince Qi, my daughter's life is in your hands."
Dongfang Hao quickly waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be so courteous, Imperial Physician Shang. If it wasn't for Dongfang Hao's inability, he wouldn't have caused Princess Rong's entire body to fall into a hole. Dongfang Hao really has to blame himself for this.
"Dongfang Hao, I'll go with you." Yingying quickly stood to Dongfang Hao's side, indicating that she was going with him.
Dongfang Hao shook his head. "No, we can't let you go with me." How could he not know Ying Ying's intentions? There were some matters that he was unwilling to let her take the risk.
"I must go with you." Because she had misunderstood Dongfang Hao's intentions just now, Ying Ying felt even more guilty. If it wasn't for Dongfang Hao's lack of stamina, how could Li Guoguo be his match?
Manager Li looked at Ying Ying, then looked at Dongfang Hao, and persuaded, "Prince Qi, just agree to Miss Ying Ying's request. With one more person, we can finally find someone to take care of us. Even if there's something, someone will be able to report back …"
"Manager Li is right. Let Miss Ying Ying accompany you." Shang Tiancheng also said so.
Dongfang Hao finally nodded his head. "Good, since that's the case, then I'll ask Ying Ying to come with me." He then looked at the noodles outside and took a deep breath. "Let's go."
Ying Ying nodded.
"Remember, you must be careful." Manager Li didn't forget to explain.
"Ying Ying and Qi Wang must be careful. If you can't find out anything, you must return as soon as possible." Shang Tiancheng also ordered.
"We understand." Ying Ying and Dongfang Hao had already mounted their horses and were walking in the direction of the palace.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier. Originally, it melted upon landing, but now the ground was covered with a thin layer of snow. The sky was even darker, and the early winter was shrouded in a faint yellow light.
The two of them quickly arrived at the palace. Ying Ying whispered to Dongfang Hao, "Let me give it a try. I want to see if I can still enter the palace."
Dongfang Hao nodded: "You have to be careful."
Ying Ying replied with a smile and continued walking forward. Walking to the palace gates, he said to the guards, "I am General Xiao Tianyuan's younger sister. Today, entering the palace, I wish to meet the Empress. I would like to request that everyone do something convenient."
"Go, go, go. What time is it? We're only here to greet you. If you have anything to say, you can say it tomorrow." The guard impolitely waved at Ying Ying.
"Oh, I know." When Ying Ying saw this situation, she retreated back to Dongfang Hao's side.
"How is it?"
"Although the guards did not let me in, they did not close the doors to the palace to prevent me from entering. Right now, the entrance to the palace is fairly free, so it shouldn't be that big of a deal." Ying Ying told Dongfang Hao of her feelings.
Dongfang Hao raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice, "Even if it's brown in color, we won't let our guard down. "I keep having the feeling that things aren't so simple. Since Duke Xuan has captured the consort, why wouldn't he just stay put?"
After hearing Dongfang Hao's words, Ying Ying lowered her head and thought for a while. She then said, "Why don't we wait here for a while and see how Duke Hou Xuan will act later?"
"No need, send this out." Dongfang Hao took out an item from his chest and handed it to Ying Ying.
Ying Ying saw that it was just a small firecracker and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
"Yesterday morning, when I went to Duke Xuan's Palace to inquire about the news, I saw Princess Liu Li using fireworks as news and told me that she had left with the great army. However, I didn't know that the great army would need a few more days to reach the Southern Marsh Kingdom. Right now, the situation in the capital is not optimistic at all, and the consort is once again in the hands of King Xuan. " Dongfang Hao sighed and shook his head, "Send out the fireworks. Princess Liu Li told us where they are from the moment she saw the signal. We can also take this opportunity to delay them. I am waiting here. I think King Xuan will make his move soon. "
Ying Ying held the bamboo in her hand and did not leave. Instead, she asked hesitantly, "Even if we were to send a signal, would Princess Liu-Li be able to see something like this?"
"Rest assured, Princess Liu Li and I are cousins, and also of the same sect. This is a keepsake unique to our sect. Once it is sent out, it can transmit for thousands of miles. She will definitely be able to see it. " Dongfang Hao explained in detail to Ying Ying.
Ying Ying stared at Dongfang Hao, looking at his pretty face, and said with worry, "Even if that's the case, if I leave, what will happen if you encounter danger?"
Dongfang Hao smiled gently, "Ying Ying, don't you think too much. Although I don't have much stamina and can't go head to head with others, haven't you seen my legs? Am I not going to run? "
These words caused Ying Ying to burst out in laughter. She nodded at Dongfang Hao and said, "Alright, I'll find a quiet place to set the firecrackers on fire. You must not be in any danger!"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely be fine." Dongfang Hao looked at the color of the sky. "It's getting late. Go and come back quickly."
"Alright." Ying Ying turned her horse around. "You have to wait for me here!" With her last sentence, she ran off to a quiet place. Dongfang Hao looked at her back, and a warm smile appeared on his face.
Although Ying Ying did not go out often, she had grown up in the capital since young. She quickly found a secluded place and took out the bamboo cannon. He looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was gradually getting clear. The sun was about to set. Ying Ying didn't know whether or not Dongfang Hao's words were true or false, but she had no choice but to pull on the lead string of the bamboo cannon. With a "sou" sound, the bamboo cannon shot into the sky, and only after flying into the air for a long time did it explode. Ying Ying could not help but exclaim in admiration. No wonder Dongfang Hao said that it was his sect's treasure. It was indeed extraordinary.
