The Regent Princess has run away again

Chapter 133 The man behind the scenes

After the shopkeeper left, Nangong Ye sighed, sat down, rubbed his brows, and said, "How is your investigation going?"

"It is exactly as Governor Jiang said. Now it is mainly the people who have left Yuyang County."

You thought about it and seemed to have seen Princess Kangle when he came up just now. Although he knew it was normal for them to stay in the same inn in this place, he still felt a little sad.

He couldn't help but secretly glance at Nangong Ye in front of him, but seeing that the other party didn't seem to want to ask, he had to swallow the matter back into his stomach.

Since he followed his master, except for the two beauties bestowed by His Majesty at the beginning, there have been no other women in his master's backyard, and the master has entered the backyard very rarely, resulting in the fact that he has not been able to have children until now.

Just as You was thinking about it, Nangong Ye frowned slightly, knocked on the round table and said, "Follow me to see Princess Kangle."

"Eh? Oh, okay."

You was stunned and didn't react for a moment. When he realized that he was going downstairs to see Princess Kangle, he hurriedly followed her. He didn't expect that his master actually knew that the princess was downstairs.

Xianxian was so hungry that she just stepped into the door and shouted to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, bring the delicious food over quickly! I don't want anything that's not delicious!"

Xue Zhiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She nodded to the shopkeeper and said apologetically, "Please do it as soon as possible. Thank you."

After she finished speaking, she pulled Kankan to sit on a bench beside her. Because there were not many people in Yuyang County now, there was no one else in the inn except Xue Zhiyu, Nangong Ye and others.

Mingzhi stretched his back, yawned several times, waved to Xue Zhiyu and said, "Junior sister, I'm going to go upstairs to take a nap. You guys eat first."

Xue Zhiyu nodded. She knew that after taking care of so many people in the morning, she really needed to go back and have a good rest. She turned her head to look at Mo Chenru who looked fine, and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Do you want to rest for a while too?"

"I can't. Rest is secondary. I'm as hungry as someone who hasn't eaten for ten years."

"Okay, you can eat as much as you want, as long as it's not wasted," Xue Zhiyu said, looking at Mu Xingchen standing at the door, and continued, "Master, what about you?"

"I'll just sit down," Mu Xingchen said as he found a seat to sit down.

He chose a seat in a corner, sat down, folded his arms across his chest, closed his eyes, and began to meditate, but his consciousness was extremely clear.

Xue Zhiyu was talking to Mo Chenru about the next steps in the treatment when a deep voice came from the stairs behind them.

"Excuse me, are you Princess Kangle?"

Xue Zhiyu turned around, and when she saw the man's face, she couldn't help but be stunned, especially his ink-deep eyes. She looked at You behind the man again, and instantly remembered the identity of the man.

"You are You Min, now I remember, how did you get here?"

You was just racking his brains to come up with an identity for his master, but who knew that Xue Zhiyu actually remembered the name he had randomly come up with.

Nangong Ye did not refute her words, and responded with a smile: "I have an important matter today and need to come here. It seems that I came here at an unfortunate time and encountered the epidemic."

"It's not an epidemic. We need to check it a few more times to find out the specific cause," Xue Zhiyu was cautious. She didn't think it was as simple as an epidemic.

But she didn't dare to jump to conclusions, she just thought of Yuzhou Kingdom inexplicably. After all, the relationship between Yan Kingdom and Yuzhou Kingdom has always been in an unstable state.

"What did the princess think of?"

Seeing Xue Zhiyu lost in thought, Nangong Ye inexplicably looked forward to what surprising words she would say.

"I don't know, this is just my random guess," Xue Zhiyu shook her head and stopped talking about this topic.

Nangong Ye narrowed his eyes, his deep eyes showed a little more thought, and then nodded slightly, "The princess is right, we should be more cautious in everything."

He held the teacup in his hand, rubbing the cup gently with his bony fingers, staring at the clear tea, and sat on a wooden stool beside him without saying a word.

Xue Zhiyu ignored him. She supported her chin. Although her body was very tired, her mind was extremely clear.

She knew that she couldn't delay any longer and would have to set off immediately, but the reality was that she had to provide basic food and accommodation, and she also had to see if they needed to be separated.

Thinking of this, Xue Zhiyu felt as if her head was about to explode. She had never felt such a headache in the real world. She couldn't help but rub her temples.

She really has a hard life.

"Dear guests, the food is here!"

The waiter carried plates and placed dishes all over the table. Suddenly the whole inn was filled with the aroma of food.

Kankan was the happiest person here. After all, she was really hungry. She stared at the dishes without blinking, her amber eyes shining like stars.

Xue Zhiyu felt a little helpless. She picked up her chopsticks and said, "Everyone has worked hard this morning. Let's eat something quickly."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Nangong Ye again and said, "We ordered quite a lot. If you don't mind, come and eat with us."

When You was about to decline on Nangong Ye's behalf, he unexpectedly agreed to it without even thinking about it. He stood up with a smile and sat down without any courtesy, leaving You with a look of disbelief.

Does he have some kind of eye disease? Doesn’t my master dislike sharing meals with outsiders?

After Xue Zhiyu finished speaking, she shifted her gaze and looked in the direction of Mu Xingchen.

The person who was originally sitting there had disappeared. She couldn't help but frowned and asked Mingzhi next to her in a low voice.

"Brother, have you seen where the master has gone?"

Mingzhi's speech sounded a little slurred because he had a piece of chicken in his mouth.

"Ah, you mean the master. He should have gone out for a walk. Just get used to it, Junior Sister. The master is always so mysterious."

After hearing Mingzhi's words, Xue Zhiyu finally felt relieved. She suddenly felt that she still didn't know her master well enough. It seemed that she had to have a good chat next time.

Mu Xingchen had already left his position when Nangong Ye came down.

He stood on the eaves not far away with his hands behind his back, watching the movements in the inn, a hint of darkness flashed across his eyes.

This is the best.

"Oh, you escaped just in time. You should be the one sitting in the position of the matchmaker."

Xuanji's voice sounded at the side, with an indescribable sarcasm in his tone, and he transformed into a physical entity and appeared in front of Mu Xingchen.

"You don't have to provoke me, you know this is the best way."

Mu Xingchen ignored him, his eyes never leaving that figure, his gentleness was enough to make people indulge in it, and a lingering and reluctant emotion lingered around him.

"Hey, I brought you the medicine from the God of Medicine. It will help you."

"It's useless. I'm already at the end of my strength. It would be a waste for me to take this medicine. You can keep it."

Xuan Ji looked at Mu Xingchen's nonchalant attitude and immediately gritted his teeth in anger. He really wanted to beat him up.

"Do you think I want to give it to you? I don't want Ling Yu to be sad holding your residual soul!"

Mu Xingchen pursed his lips, his eyes showed a little more sadness, and his mind couldn't help but think of the face that he would never forget in his life.

The woman's smiling face and curved eyebrows shone into his heart like the warm sun. Even the peony beside her ear pales in comparison to her.

Didn't he think so too? She should always be so happy, without any worries, and free and easy.

Seeing that Mu Xingchen still had no reaction, Xuan Ji sighed, put the medicine bottle back in her hand, turned around and was about to leave.

He was afraid that if he didn't leave, he would really not be able to control himself and hit someone.

"Please give me the medicine."

Xuanji couldn't help but glance at him, took out the medicine bottle that she had taken back, cast a spell and threw it over.

After Mu Xingchen took it, he opened the bottle and drank all the medicine inside.

When Xuanji was about to say something sarcastic, the medicine bottle was thrown straight at him. He caught it casually and squeezed it lightly, and the bottle shattered into pieces.

"You really have a bad temper. I'm leaving now. You can do whatever you want."

"Ah."

Mu Xingchen responded indifferently, waved his sleeves and disappeared, leaving Xuanji standing there.

Xuanji pursed her lips in annoyance and cursed a few times in her heart.

He glanced in the direction of Xue Zhiyu, couldn't help but sigh, turned around and left.

Inside the inn, several people had their own thoughts. Nangong Ye was not polite. He picked up a piece of chicken and bit it slowly.

After finishing his meal, he picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth. Then he looked at Xue Zhiyu and said, "Princess Kangle, are you going to treat the people who escaped from Yuyang County?"

Xue Zhiyu didn't intend to hide it either. She nodded, her face becoming more serious.

"I will set off soon, hoping to catch up with their team."

"Can you let me go with you? Maybe I can help you."

Xue Zhiyu was a little surprised why Nangong Ye said that. She thought about it and said seriously, "You Min, I'm afraid there will be more trouble along the way. Plus, this disease is not easy to control. I suggest you go next time, okay?"

"Don't worry, my lady. I will never cause any trouble for you."

Nangong Ye spoke sincerely, and with his handsome face and peach blossom eyes, it seemed as if he was telling something, making Xue Zhiyu unable to refute for a moment.

Under Nangong Ye's gaze, she finally gave in and sighed helplessly, "Okay, you come with us."

"Thank you, Princess."

Yu, who was standing by, was dumbfounded. Was he hallucinating? How could the master say that? !

We have to let Lu Tingxuan come and have a look. This must be because he has been too tired recently and is hallucinating!

While You was still persuading himself in his heart, Nangong Ye stood up and walked upstairs with Xue Zhiyu, preparing to pack up and set off.

"Still not leaving?"

Nangong Ye's cold voice came from behind, scaring You so much that he turned around and followed him.

Was he having an illusion just now? He felt that the master's tone clearly showed that he disdained him.

After they had packed up, Xue Zhiyu looked out the window and saw that her master hadn't come back yet, so she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

She walked back and forth, and finally opened the door and went to Mingzhi's room.

Standing at Ming Zhifang's door, he knocked on it and asked in a low voice, "Brother, do you know where the master has gone?"

"Don't worry, Master often appears and disappears like this, we can just pack up and leave."

Seeing Mingzhi acting accustomed to it, Xue Zhiyu's worries were slightly reduced.

"Okay, we'll wait downstairs later. I have to go clean up."

Actually, although she was packing, Xue Zhiyu didn't have much stuff to bring with her, just a few sets of clothes that Xiaoqiu prepared for her before she went out.

After everyone had packed up, they got on the carriage prepared outside and headed for Zhaoyuan City.

Fortunately, the people did not go far. They hurried as fast as they could, and in less than an hour they saw people stopping to rest on both sides of the official road.

Mo Chenru lifted the curtain, glanced at the people sitting there, narrowed his eyes, and his expression became more amusement.

He lowered the curtain and looked at Xue Zhiyu who was about to get off the car. He suddenly leaned over and said in a low voice, "Pay attention to a man in a gray short shirt. He has a scar on the left side of his face."

Xue Zhiyu glanced at Mo Chenru with a little suspicion. Seeing his serious look, she nodded to show that she understood, then turned around and jumped off the carriage.

Looking at Xue Zhiyu getting off the carriage, Mo Chenru raised his eyebrows. After spending all this time with her, he knew that this woman was different from other women.

Whether it is his speech, behavior or daily habits, he exudes a sense of casualness. He is knowledgeable and can always discuss astronomy and geography.

After Xue Zhiyu got off the carriage, she looked at the people who were resting on both sides. There were a few people wearing tattered clothes, holding children around three years old in their arms, with expressions full of confusion and despair on their faces.

Everyone's face seemed to have lost all life. To them, Yuyang County became a home they could never return to, and they became refugees hated by everyone.

"Wow, wow, wow, wow, mommy, I'm so hungry. When can I go home?"

"We...we will be able to go home soon, Yue'er, mother brought you some dry food, just eat it for now."

Xue Zhiyu couldn't help but look over. It was a middle-aged woman who was wearing a dress that had been washed countless times. She kept comforting the girl sitting next to her.

From time to time, she heard wailing sounds coming from not far away. She subconsciously closed her eyes and forced herself to suppress the pain in her heart.

She wasn't here to shed useless tears, she was here to resolve the situation.

I don't know who shouted, but several people followed suit and shouted, "Isn't that Princess Kangle? She will definitely have a way!"

"Yes, let's go to her and ask for the prescription!"

"Why didn't you think of that? Princess Kangle can even cure that black disease, let alone our situation."

"Let's go and beg her!"

All of a sudden, the people who were resting on both sides became more and more excited, and they all ran towards Xue Zhiyu.

Mingzhi and Kankan were quick to act and quickly surrounded Xue Zhiyu to prevent her from being squeezed by the crowd.

After Mo Chenru got out of the car, his eyes never left that person.

He saw it clearly just now. He didn't know what he said in the crowd, which caused so many people to rush over.

Just as the other party was about to run away, he picked up a small stone, secretly used his internal force, and threw the stone at the man's knee.

Over there, the man saw that most of the people were rushing over as Mo Chenru had thought. He looked around and it seemed that it was time to leave.

Unexpectedly, not long after he turned around, he felt a sharp pain in his knee and his heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, it looks like he's been discovered!

He didn't care about the numbness in his knees. When he stood on tiptoes to practice martial arts, his limbs suddenly became weak and accompanied by pain, as if the bones inside were constantly being hit by a hammer, making him feel excruciating pain.

Soon, he fell to the ground in pain. His back was already wet with sweat, and he looked like he had been fished out of the water.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it looks like it really hurts, but a stinky rat like you should experience it."

Mo Chenru walked out from the crowd at some point. He looked down at the man crawling on the ground, his eyes full of contempt.

"If you have the guts....just kill me..."

"Isn't this a good deal for you? Just bear with it."

At this time, on another carriage, You looked at the people who had surrounded Xue Zhiyu and said respectfully, "Sir, do you need help, Princess?"

"No need, I believe she will have a way, just wait."

Nangong Ye closed his eyes slightly and waved a fan, the curve of his face showing that he was in a good mood.

Seeing this, You didn't say anything more. He responded and continued to pay attention to the situation outside.

"Hey, isn't that Mr. Mo who is beside the princess? Why is he going over there?"

After hearing this, Nangong Ye opened his eyes, lifted the curtain and looked in the direction You said. There was a hint of thoughtfulness in his deep peach blossom eyes.

If he was not mistaken, it was the ghost needle technique passed down by the ancestors of the Mohist school.

It will only be passed on to the next head of the Mohist family.

After Mo Chenru took the needle back, he frowned with a slight look of disgust. His silver needle was really dirty.

He couldn't help cursing a few words and left without looking back. Before leaving, he glanced at another carriage and a hint of confusion flashed across his eyes.

Although the other party's car curtain was quickly lowered, he still saw it.

It was inconvenient for him to think too much while he was at the inn, but he also didn't think that he really just happened to encounter this situation. Now that he followed here, why didn't he show up?

What puzzled him even more was the way Miss Xue addressed him.

Who is You Min?

He only remembered that there was only one person like him in Yan Country with such appearance and vague pressure.

That is the Regent - Nangong Ye.
