C31

Wei Yi walked out of the study room with a serious expression on his face, followed by a group of servants behind him.

From a distance, it looked very impressive. No wonder everyone said that the Dongchang factory was known as the powerhouse of the imperial court.

The servants in the palace all lowered their heads in greetings in fear when they saw Wei Yi, not daring to even glance at him.

Due to the terrifying aura that surrounded Wei Yi, no one dared to approach him.

When they arrived near the imperial flower garden, Wei Yi looked around but didn't see any signs of Wu Chuan.

He then touched his temple with his index finger and told the people around him: "Go find Wu Chuan."

The servant accepted the order and immediately went to look for traces of Wu Chuan.

Wei Yi frowned slightly and sighed. He didn't know where this girl had run off to. The palace was like a man-eating beast. If one didn't fall inside, they would fall into the endless abyss.

Helpless, Wei Yi could only wait inside the carriage outside.

Within the Serene Palace.

Wangchuan played some ordinary little games with the princess. Seeing the two princesses happily smiling, Wangchuan's eyes were full of smiles, but his heart was filled with worry.

After all, four hours had passed, and Wei Yi should be out by now.

However, the princess was too attached to him to let him go.

Since this was the palace, Wenchuan didn't dare to act rashly. He could only play around with the Princess and An. Wei Yi, who was within the carriage, also heard about the news.

The passersby from the palace said that Wangchuan saved An and Princess, so they dragged Wenchuan to the Serene Palace. Presumably, that little girl was currently accompanying Princess An and An.

At this moment, Wei Yi held a grape in his hand. His eyes were completely dark, making it difficult for anyone to tell what he was thinking. The heart of the servant who had come to pass the message began to beat uneasily at the drum.

After a moment, Wei Yi spoke up. "Send word to Princess Anhe that it is the Regional Commander who asked her to return the person." Finished, she waved him off.

"Yes." The servant pulled Wei Yi's curtain shut, then turned to wait outside.

Upon receiving Wei Yi's orders, the messenger immediately strode towards the Serenity Hall.

Arriving at the outer hall of the Serenity Hall, he heard the crisp laughter of Ann and the Princess, who was beating the plates like jade, from behind the bead curtain.

The servants and servants of the Tranquility Palace explained, and the maidservants immediately went in to pass on the message.

At this moment within the Serene Palace, An and Princess had bright and beautiful smiles on their faces. It was obvious that they were very happy.

The maidservant who was waiting outside came over and whispered a few words into the ears of Ann and the princess.

Wangchuan watched from the side and guessed that it might be Wei Yi's words.

When Princess An and An Xin heard their servant's words, they were somewhat surprised. Then, they smiled and said to Wangchuan, "So you're from the Thousand Year Old Manor."

Wu Chuan lowered his eyes slightly. "Yes."

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Wu Chuan took advantage of the situation and said, "Princess, it's not too late yet. I'm afraid that I will have to blame you for going back too late."

An and the princess looked a little reluctant, but they still let go of him and went back. As he left, he pulled Wangchuan along with him, saying with some reluctance, "Next time, remember to come and accompany me again."

Wu Chuan smirked, "Yes, Princess."

After leaving the Serenity Hall, Wangchuan walked quickly towards the palace gate.

Not far away, that carriage that was specially designed for Wei Yi was still there.

Wangchuan didn't know whether Wei Yi would blame him or not, but before he could think further, he had already walked over.

Outside the door, Wei Yi sensed Wu Chuan approaching and said in a deep voice, "Come in quickly."

Wu Chuan looked a little sleepy and immediately went inside. The wide palanquin was covered with soft white fox fur, and the interior was extremely well-decorated.

It had to be said that Wei Yi was someone who was extremely content with everything. He was the person who was the best at everything, and there was no need to mention how much he spent on everyday matters.

Wangchuan looked at the unfathomable expression on Wei Yi's face before bowing and saying after a moment of hesitation, "Princess An and I are playing with each other and have delayed for a thousand years. Please punish us for a thousand years."

Wei Yi saw that Wu Chuan was half-kneeling, with an expression as though he was admitting his mistake. In actuality, perhaps that wasn't what she was thinking in her heart at all.

Wei Yi pondered for a moment before speaking in a cold voice, "Get up. Does this Regional Commander seem to like punishing people that much?"

Wu Chuan couldn't help but want to mutter a few words, but he resisted the urge.

On the way back to his residence, Wu Chuan continued to massage Wei Yi's shoulders and neck. For some reason, Wei Yi really liked the time when Wu Chuan massaged him.

He only felt that the little beast that used to bared its fangs and brandished its claws had retracted, and had obediently stayed by his side.

In this moment of silence, the carriage jolted violently. Wu Chuan was able to stabilize his body and did not let himself fall.

Wei Yi stretched out a hand to protect Wu Chuan from the impact. After the jolt, Wei Yi's eyes were shrouded in shadow as he asked in a gloomy voice, "What's going on?"

Upon hearing Wei Yi's slightly gloomy voice, the coachman's legs trembled slightly. "Returning to a thousand years old, the sedan chair is broken."

Wei Yi thought for a moment before lightly opening his lips and saying, "The distance is already very close. Let's walk back to the manor."

With that said, he got off the carriage and Wangchuan followed closely behind.

He had always been in a horse carriage, but now that he was here, he realized something was different.

On both sides of the street, there were many hawkers hawking their wares, though the things they bought were not very refined.

Wei Yi walked in front and Forgetfulness followed closely behind.

Very quickly, Wei Yi's exquisite and handsome appearance attracted the attention of many commoners in the surroundings.

Most of the people in the capital city had rarely seen Wei Yi's true appearance.

Some only saw the vague outline behind the curtain, and now they only dared to peek outside.

Wei Yi was surrounded by a group of servants, isolating the common folk outside. However, the swift and fierce aura that Wei Yi naturally carried made it so that no one dared to lightly approach him.

Wei Yi was bored out of his mind, and he would glance at the Wu Chuan by his side from time to time. Suddenly, he was attracted by the bunch of bright red candied flakes in front of him.

Following which, Wei Yi walked over, took out a silver ingot, and passed it to the hawker. "A string of candied fruits." The hawker was both surprised and delighted as he took out a string of the largest items to hand over to Wei Yi.

Wei Yi walked up to Wu Chuan with the string of candied fruits that did not match his status. With a slight smile, he said, "Take it. This supervisor will reward you."

Wangchuan looked at Wei Yi's actions and the corners of his mouth twitched. A trace of disdain quickly flashed past his eyes.

However, he still accepted it with ease. "Thank you, Sir Qian Jing."

Naturally, Wei Yi caught sight of Wu Chuan's expression and felt humiliated for a moment. With a flick of his sleeve, he snorted coldly as he walked forward.

As he walked, he saw Fu Chuan staring at a shop selling swords and sabers, a light flashed across his eyes.

Wei Yi turned around with his arms crossed as he tilted his head to ridicule Wu Chuan. "All the girls from the other families like rouge and cosmetics, but you are not the only one."

"Wouldn't it be boring if it were to remain the same?" Wangchuan's gaze turned as he refuted Wei Yi.

Wei Yi chuckled.

He could be considered a remarkable woman. When he first met her, he already knew that she was definitely different from ordinary women.

From the looks of it now, Gu Zheng had made her seem even more different from the others.

It had been many years since he had seen her in such a graceful and elegant manner. She was only dressed, and perhaps it was because she was used to using sabers and swords that most of her clothes were masculine and unyielding.

Previously, when he had just arrived at the mansion, although he had worn the clothes that resembled a lady's with Mo Yun and Zhi Xiang, he had now regained his valiant and valiant appearance.
