*Ptui!*

Zhang Wu Li spat a couple of dirt before standing up. His eyes sharpened while looking at Mu Qing who was frantically running away from him. Sighing, Zhang Wu Li picked a small stone and threw it to Mu Qing's calf.

*Baaam!*

Mu Qing once again fell on the ground. When Zhang Wu Li saw Mu Qing fell, he immediately sprung forward and jumped above him.

"Aiyo! Chief Mu, are you okay?"

Acting innocent, Zhang Wu Li half-leaned his body on Mu Qing's back, forcing the old man to face the ground.

The two were currently bantering when someone spoke behind them.

"Mu Qing? Wu Li? Ah? Are you playing?"

When Mu Qing heard the familiar voice behind them, he immediately froze. Turning his head abruptly, Mu Qing saw Xu Fei Yi standing behind them, holding a small kitten.

"Your Highness!!! You are safe!"

Pus.h.i.+ng Zhang Wu Li away, Mu Qing stood up and grabbed Xu Fei Yi's shoulder. He immediately checked if he was harmed or not.

Noticing a small bruise on Xu Fei Yi's cheeks, Mu Qing felt like his soul went away.

"Your Highness! What happened to your face!!"

Xu Fei Yi lowered his head while tightening his embrace on the kitten.

"I… I saw a kitty strolling in the garden. I wanted to pet her, but it ran away. I also ran and followed her. When I was trying to catch the her, I did not notice a large branch and collided with it… Mu Qing, I'm sorry."

When Mu Qing heard Xu Fei Yi's explanation, he could not help but sigh in relief. At least, His Highness was not abducted.

"Your Highness! Please do not do it again! Do you know how worried we are when you went missing?"

Xu Fei Yi bit his lower lip, feeling aggravated.

When Mu Qing saw his pitiful look, he sighed and shook his head.

"Never mind. His Highness let's go back. I bet you are sleepy now."

"En!"

Zhang Wu Li looked at Xu Fei Yi and exhaled in relief.

Finally, his task is over.

---------

Days pa.s.sed, and it was the second day XuanRong arrived in the capital. Today, she was planning to visit her maternal grandfather and talk with him about the recent issues related to the upcoming power struggles between the living princes.

She was currently riding a carriage together with YuShen and YuShang. YuYing was currently helping Zou mama organize the servants in her courtyard. Xiao Lou had been managing the entire Xiang Fu ever since her mother died, the loyalty of the servants under her were very hard to buy.

XuanRong was afraid that Xiao Lou would place spies on her courtyard like what she did with YuLi. It was better to be careful.

"Hooo!"

The carriage slowly stopped while the coachman pulled the reins.

Sensing the sudden stop, XuanRong immediately asked, "Why did you stop? What is happening at the front?"

"Replying to Da XiaoJie, a carriage was obstructing our way. The path is very narrow, only once carriage could pa.s.s the road but the carriage in front of us is not moving."

XuanRong's eyebrows arched upward and glanced at YuShen.

Sensing her XiaoJie's message, YuShen immediately left the carriage and walked towards the carriage at the front.

XuanRong closed her eyes, waiting for YuShen's return when she heard a scream.

"Kyaa! Let go of me, you beast!!!"

XuanRong immediately opened her eyes and jumped out of the carriage.

On the outside, XuanRong saw YuYing who was trying to pull herself away from the young man who was holding her wrist.

XuanRong moved forward, planning to help YuShen when she saw the young man's face. Her steps stopped, and she was frozen on the ground.

'Baili... Chen.'

XuanRong paled.
