Chapter 1229: Xie Yu Never Forgets a Grudge
That night.Bai Zhi’er’s Divine Sense once again fell upon the gates of the Yuan Residence.
This time, Feng Fuce appeared beside her without any hindrance.
She chuckled: "This time, those Earth Gods didn’t stop you?"
Feng Fuce slightly raised an eyebrow: "It seems they are too busy to bother with me."
Earlier, in a fit of anger, he had fractured a mountain, and these Earth Gods needed to prevent spirits from taking advantage of the situation to sneak in.
Bai Zhi’er and Feng Fuce walked towards the Yuan Residence together, only to find it surprisingly surrounded by Imperial Guards and Jinwu Guards.
Feng Fuce squinted his eyes: "Trouble?"
Bai Zhi’er pondered: "It’s definitely because I suddenly disappeared from the imperial palace, the Emperor couldn’t find me, implicating the Yuan Residence."
She thought for a moment, grabbed Feng Fuce, and they flashed into the residence, unnoticed by anyone.
Inside the main hall, there was still only Yuan Ruxin.
Facing the Jinwu Guards’ interrogation, she solemnly said: "I don’t know what happened at all!"
"I should be asking you! You were the ones who took her away, now she’s missing, yet you come to question me. Is this reasonable?"
The Jinwu Guards’ leader shouted angrily: "How dare you question the Emperor’s orders!"
Yuan Ruxin abruptly stood up: "Don’t use the Emperor to intimidate me! Back when this Commandery Princess was acting obstinately, who knows where you were crawling around!"
"I understand the Emperor is looking for my friend, but she was taken away by you long ago; she hasn’t come back. Why are you asking me!"
"Isn’t the Jinwu Guard known to be capable of anything? Go and find her yourselves!"
Bai Zhi’er and Feng Fuce stood at the corner, hearing this, ready to step forward to assist Yuan Ruxin.
Suddenly!
Applause echoed.
Bai Zhi’er quickly pulled Feng Fuce back into the corner.
She had her hand gently placed on Feng Fuce’s chest, tilting her head to look outside.
Feng Fuce couldn’t help but gaze down at her.
At that moment, Bai Zhi’er was almost leaning in his arms.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips, and he wrapped his arm around her waist, which Bai Zhi’er hadn’t yet noticed.
Yuan Ruxin’s voice came to an abrupt halt as Xie Yu walked in.
Xie Yu, dressed in a crimson Dragon Robe, fixed his gaze on Yuan Ruxin, letting out a cold laugh:
"Dewan, your words are still so sharp."
Guilt flickered in Yuan Ruxin’s eyes; she seemed somewhat afraid of this Emperor.
She lowered her head slightly: "Don’t mock me, Emperor. My words earlier were somewhat aggressive and indeed wrong, but I also feel wronged."
"That friend has not returned, but what is so special about her that she warrants the Emperor’s personal visit to the Yuan Residence?"
Xie Yu raised an eyebrow: "I am very curious, why haven’t you introduced such a remarkable person to me sooner?"
"Had you done so, I wouldn’t have been troubled by the Regent King’s headache recently."
Yuan Ruxin turned pale.
A few days ago, the Regent King had constant headaches, seemingly due to a cold.
But the Emperor insisted it was because some political enemies were plotting against him, summoning the Regent King to the palace daily, calling a host of Jianghu Witches.
Xie Yu had these people circle around the Regent King.
Under the guise of ’expelling evil’, in reality, he deprived him of food and drink.
The Yuan Family knew this was the Emperor’s way of enacting revenge on them.
Back then, when the Regent King saw him as a child, he tightly grasped the power in his own hands, being harsh towards the Emperor.
Of course, Xie Yu would hold a grudge!
Those days were taxing for the Regent King, so lately, he has used the excuse of recuperating, hiding in a friend’s secluded villa.
