Deng Yuchuan's body was dragged down, and the blood on the ground was quickly cleaned up.

As for the charred corpse that made the old emperor like a fish in his throat, it was also pulled by the Praetorian Guards to be destroyed, leaving no trace.

Although the farce is over, everyone has no heart to continue feasting.

The birthday banquet had to end hastily.

By the time Xiao Ti arrived, Yu Yuanxuan had disappeared.

Before he could be disappointed, he saw a small pearl at the foot of the table.

He picked up the pearl and looked at it, it was supposed to be the pearl flower on the woman's head, and somehow one of the small beads fell off.

Although pearls are small, judging by their color and shape, they should be tributes from the South China Sea.

As long as it is a tribute, there will definitely be a record in the Inner Servant Province.

Xiao Ti clenched the pearl tightly and hurried to the Inner Servant Province non-stop.

In order not to be discovered, he disguised himself as a Praetorian Guard, carefully avoided the eyes of others, and quietly blended into the Inner Servant Province.

As he expected, he soon found a record of South Sea pearls in the register.

All these pearls were rewarded to the harem concubines, of which the queen accounted for the majority, and the queen rewarded the crown prince with the part of the pearls she received.

Xiao Ti paused for a moment above the word prince, and he already had a bottom in his heart.

He put the register back in its place, turned and opened the window, and jumped out.

As soon as I landed, I saw an acquaintance standing under the corridor.

Wei Xiao leaned on the pillar with his arms around his chest, looking boneless and lazy.

He looked at Xiao Ti with a smile and asked.

"Shouldn't the King of Langjun be on his way to Liaodong County at this time?"

Xiao Ti frowned slightly, and instead of answering, he asked, "When did you come?"

Wei Xiao teased, "Not long after I arrived, I happened to see the King of Langjun sneaking into the Inner Servant Province, what? King Langjun can't live anymore, and he's going to be a thief?"

Xiao Ti didn't know what the other party's attitude was, so he didn't answer, just looked at the other party with guarded eyes.

Wei Xiao stood up a little straighter: "What is King Langjun looking for here?"

Xiao Ti was silent for a moment, but still told the truth.

"It's gone, I'm looking for her."

Hearing the curly name, the smile on Wei Xiao's face faded a little: "She's not here, the king of Langjun has found the wrong place."

Xiao Ti keenly found the key point in his words and quickly asked.

"Do you know where it is?"

Wei Xiao laughed to himself, "How can I possibly know where she is?"

Then he looked Xiao Ti up and down again, and said in a gloating tone.

"If the emperor sees the current appearance of King Langjun, guess what the emperor's reaction will be?"

Xiao Ti was silent.

Of course, he knew that if the emperor knew that he had quietly returned to Yujing without a sound, he would definitely be furious and take this opportunity to punish him severely.

When the time comes, not to mention his status, even his life will not be saved.

Wei Yu pretended to think seriously: "If this is the case, if you promise to give me the curl, I will not leak the secret of your return to Beijing without permission, how about it?"

Who knew that as soon as his words were finished, the no-return knife in Xiao Ti's hand was already out of the sheath. ….

The sharp blade came through the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it was already in front of the door!

The fierce murderous aura struck like a sea of mountains.

Wei Xiao was so frightened that he retreated again and again.

He touched the door of his head that was almost slashed by the knife of no return, and a strand of severed hair fell slowly.

Wei Yu showed a frightened expression and exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"Isn't it? I'm just kidding, are you so ruthless?"

Xiao Ti was carrying the Returnless Knife in his hand and looked at him coldly: "Is it really just a joke?"

Wei Yu put down his hand and sighed, "Do you have to say it so bluntly

？ No wonder so many people in the DPRK hate you, who can like you with your stinky temper?"

Xiao Ti: "Just like it."

Wei Yu choked violently.

He grinded his back molars and said hatefully, "She's blind!"

There are so many good men in the world, why do you just look at this stinky and hard-tempered bastard in front of you?!

Xiao Ti was still worried about his safety, and he didn't have the heart to waste time with him here.

He put the knife into its sheath: "Let me ask you one last time, do you really not know where the curl is going?"

Speaking of business, Wei Xiao's expression became more correct.

"Even if you know where she is, it's useless, you alone can't snatch her back.

Take a step back and say that even if you can get it back, you won't be able to protect her.

If it's really for her good, just let it go, and don't let her go with you again."

By the end, his tone had become more serious than ever.

Apparently this is what he is saying.

Xiao Ti seemed to not understand what he meant, and said expressionlessly, "Is it at the prince's place?"

Wei Xiao frowned, "Since you have already guessed, you should know that what I said is right."

"Thank you."

Xiao Ti put down these two words and turned to leave.

Seeing that people were so ignorant, Wei Xiao was angry: "Don't think I'm scaring you, with your current situation, you can't protect yourself, let alone protect you, now in the entire Dayan Dynasty, only the prince can protect her, and I'm also for her good!"

Xiao tired of his steps.

He said without looking back, "The emperor killed his stepfather, and Shen Zhuo is the son of her father's enemy, do you really think she will be willing to live with Shen Zhuo?"

Wei Yu couldn't answer.

Xiao Ti: "What's more, how do you know that I won't be able to protect her?"

With that, he strode away.

Wei Xiao stood in place, looking at his back as he quickly moved away, and held back for a long time before he spit out a word.

"It's all stupid!"

I don't know if this is scolding Xiao Ti or scolding himself.

……

Yu Yuanxuan was sent back to the courtyard.

She sat motionless in her chair, staring at the corner in a daze.

In the bright and pure eyes of the past, now it is gray.

It was as if her whole world had lost its color.

Huan'er deliberately asked the kitchen to make a lot of delicious food in front of Yu Yuanyuan, but it was useless, and Yu Yuanyuan didn't even look at it.

After that, Huan'er thought of a lot of ways, but she still couldn't get Yu Yuanyuan to say a word.

When Shen Zhuo came back, Huan'er hurried to meet him as if he had seen a savior.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, Miss Yu, she hasn't spoken or eaten since she came back, and the slave doesn't know what to do?"

Shen Zhuo waved his hand: "You go down first."

"Why?"

Huan'er obediently retreated.

In the dimly lit room, only Yu Yuanyuan and Shen Zhuo were left.

Shen Zhuo walked to the table and fiddled with the wick of the candle, making the candle flame brighter, and even the light in the room was much brighter.

He looked at Yu's pale little face and reached out to touch her hand.

was avoided by her.

Shen Zhuo's face was helpless: "Lone's promise to you has been done, why are you still angry with Lone?"
