Chapter 417: Return to the capital
Yu Panxi's conjecture was indeed correct, since she came out of Liufu, until now she is standing at the gate of the capital, Situ Ye has never sent another killer to take her life.
This should have been a good thing, but Yu Panxi's heart was always a little uneasy. Because she couldn't be sure whether the current situation was because she had guessed Situ Ye's mind correctly, or if the latter was preparing some other conspiracy.
And more importantly...... Originally, she hurried back because she heard the news of Xiao Chumo's serious injury, although she was in a hurry, but because she had to avoid Situ Ye's pursuit all the time, she didn't have much time to think about it carefully. Now that she is really standing in front of this most prosperous and sinister city again, she is a little hesitant.
She was inevitably a little scared in her heart. This fear is not for Situ Ye's various conspiracies or even hunting, but more like a worry. She's scared, in case that rumor is true.
"Princess, let's hurry up and enter the city. If you hesitate any longer, I am afraid that you will be discovered by Situ Ye's eyeliner. ”
A secret guard lowered his voice and reminded Yu Panxi. After all, they are standing at the gate of the city now, and most of the people in the city are Situ Ye's eyeliner, so it is too dangerous to stay here for a long time.
"Got it, let's go."
Hearing his words, the latter finally retracted his thoughts and walked towards the city gate with a few slightly disguised guards.
Fortunately, although Situ Ye is not small, it seems that all his current energy is focused on dealing with Xiao Chumo and chasing and killing Yu Panxi, although many of the soldiers at the city gate are his people, but the investigation is very lax.
Yu Panxi was wearing a hat, and those soldiers originally wanted her to take it off so that she could easily confirm her face, but the former quietly handed over a few ingots of silver, and they immediately let her go, and even the secret guards who Yu Panxi was staying next to her didn't look carefully.
"Heh, if the throne really falls into the hands of Situ Ye, the entire Ning Kingdom doesn't know what it will become!"
Yu Panxi glanced back at the still crowded city gate and the soldiers in charge of the investigation, and the disdain and mockery in his words were not concealed at all.
Although she looked down on Situ Ye very much in her heart, she also knew that now was not the time to completely tear her face. Even if the two sides have already fought each other in secret countless times, as long as it is not the final decisive battle, she must not act rashly.
Yu Panxi knew in her heart what she should do and what she couldn't do. Therefore, she did not stay here for a long time, and walked directly in the direction of the palace with a group of secret guards.
In the study of the Regent's Mansion, Xiao Chumo was carefully checking the news that Xingtian had quietly sent back to him these days, as if he was planning to sort out some more important information from it. Suddenly, the butler rushed in from outside, looking so anxious that he forgot to knock on the door.
“…… Why do you always like to run around like this lately, and the little bean is not as noisy as you. What's the matter, but Situ Ye is looking for trouble again? ”
Xiao Chumo's voice sounded a little helpless, obviously he was used to the appearance of the housekeeper, every time Situ Ye came to this regent palace, the latter was like this.
However, after hearing his question, the butler quickly shook his head, and then said in a rather excited tone: "It's not Situ Ye!" It's the princess, the princess is back! ”
As he spoke, his voice sounded a little unsteady, and it was not difficult to see that he had trotted all the way.
"Click-"
The wolf pen that Xiao Chumo grabbed in his hand fell down unconsciously, and it would smudge a large pool of ink stains on the letter underneath, instantly covering a lot of the content on the letter. But now he didn't have the heart to care about this, and the butler's words made him look a little sluggish. After a long while, he finally came back to his senses from his surprise and surprise, and his voice was a little obscure: "You mean...... She's back? ”
"It's true! The guards outside the door had just passed the news. The subordinate thought that he should tell you quickly, so he came over directly......"
The butler hadn't finished his words, but he felt a figure flash in front of him. When he came back to his senses, where was there a second figure in the study besides him?
After Yu Panxi returned to the palace, she immediately rushed towards Xiao Chumo's room, and she didn't even have time to pay attention to the surprised expressions on the faces of those subordinates when they saw her.
She was really worried about Xiao Chumo's safety, and she had to see with her own eyes what his situation was. This is also the purpose of her rushing back at the risk of losing her life.
Yu Panxi's heart was filled with worry, and he could even describe it with the word impatience. However, before she could get to where Xiao Chumo's room was, she bumped into someone halfway through.
One...... The person who made her worry about her stomach and rushed back from thousands of miles away.
Xiao Chumo hugged Yu Panxi tightly, his strength was a little great, but he seemed cautious: "You still know how ...... come back?"
He buried his face in the latter's neck socket, probably because he was so excited that his voice was a little hoarse. But for some reason, Yu Panxi heard a trace of choking from it.
The shock and doubt in her heart, and the joy of reuniting after a long absence, made her words choke in her throat, and she couldn't ask anything. After waiting for a long time, she raised her hand and hugged Xiao Chumo back: "...... Well, I'm back. ”
Thinking of Yu Panxi rushing back all the way, Xiao Chumo hugged her for a while, and then finally let go of her and let her go back to the yard to freshen up and bathe.
Yinling and Chulu were also overjoyed when they saw Yu Panxi returning, and they rushed to pour water for her, place clothes, etc., so attentive that the latter couldn't laugh or cry.
But think about it, when she left only one letter and left quietly, they should have been in a hurry, and they probably didn't look for her house before they went to find Xiao Chumo. That letter should have been found by him.
Yu Panxi knows the people around her very well, and she can guess what happened after she left. When she thought of this, she still felt a little guilty in her heart, because she still made them worry.
By the time everything was ready, it was almost time for dinner. I don't know if it's Xiao Chumo's orders, the kitchen lady in the house made a table full of delicious dishes, which are basically Yu Panxi's favorite foods on weekdays.
"Try this, this is your favorite osmanthus fish."
Xiao Chumo sandwiched a piece of fish meat and put it in Yu Panxi's bowl, and carefully picked out all the fish bones in advance.
He didn't ask Yu Panxi about what happened along the way, firstly, because the latter had been sending letters to the mansion, and he had also sent someone to follow her all the way, and it couldn't be easier to know something. Second, they were already at a standoff because they were looking for help, and he didn't want to bring it up again.
