“Hurry up, what are you doing? We need to save something right now.”
Even though Yun Qianyu said that, Xiao Yechen still did not move. Seeing this, Yun Qianyu couldn’t help but lift the curtain and look out. She saw Xiao Yechen staring at the opposite side of the street; looking toward that direction, she saw a carriage coming out from the shadows. Even though the horses trotted forward, they were no sounds. It seemed that the hoofs of the horses were wrapped with some sort of deer hide.
The person from the other carriage looked out and saw Yun Qianyu.
His eyes seemed cold and was staring at Yun Qianyu.
It was Xiao Jiuyuan. Out from a shadowy corner came Xiao Jiuyuan.
Shocked, Yun Qianyu looked at Xiao Jiuyuan in the eye and slightly nodded; to greet him politely.
Since her mind was focused on saving a close friend of hers, Yun Qianyu had no time to speak to Xiao Jiuyuan.
Unfortunately, Xiao Jiuyuan had something to say.
“Xiao Yechen, although you are not a member of the Dragon Scale army, you have become one of them when you walk into the barracks. This Prince had asked you to return to the army, but you are out here without authorization. Have you not violated military regulations? If so, should you be punished?”
After saying that, Xiao Jiuyuan ordered without mercy, “Bai Yao, immediately escort An Prince back to the barracks and punish him accordingly.”
Xiao Yechen didn’t say a word. He knew that his behavior had violated military rules, but he had no regrets.
Xiao Yechen looked up toward Xiao Jiuyuan and said, “Ninth imperial uncle, I’m willing to be punished. However, could you please allow me to help Feather with something?”
Xiao Jiuyuan’s face darkened after hearing that. With a flat tone, Xiao Jiuyuan said, “Xiao Yechen, since ancient times, beauties have caused the downfall of kingdoms. However, at least those women are beauties. Right now you’re letting an ugly woman cause your downfall?”
Xiao Jiuyuan’s words clearly ridiculed Yun Qianyu, whose face darkened immediately.
Outside Yun Qianyu’s carriage, Xiao Yechen still insisted. “Ninth imperial uncle, Feather is facing some trouble tonight. I really need to…”
Before Xiao Yechen could finish speaking, Xiao Jiuyuan interjected angrily, “She’s my princess consort. Do you think I would not help her?”
Xiao Jiuyuan was pissed and he glared at Xiao Yechen. ‘Xiao Yechen is becoming more and more annoying.’
Burning with anger, Xiao Jiuyuan ordered, “Bai Yao, from now on, send someone to track An Prince. Without this Prince’s order, he is not allowed to leave the barracks!”
Taking a step back, Xiao Yechen still wanted to say something more.
However, before Xiao Yechen could utter a single word, two of Bai Yao’s men came to him and said, “Your Highness, please don’t make things hard.”
Xiao Yechen looked at the two men. If he tried to resist, things would only end poorly for himself.
