Chapter 127 – Inexplicable Trust
As soon as the two of them arrived at the foot of Yellow Crane Tower, a woman came to invite them in. Yue Er had been dragged in by those girls. Guo Xiang followed behind, looking at the pitiful Yue’er as she frowned helplessly. This girl, she was too timid and didn’t know how such a powerful master could teach her servant girl to be so weak.
The waiter was naturally overjoyed when he saw the well-dressed Young Master walk in. He quickly ran over to ask the Guo Family duo.
“Young master, please take a seat.”
With much difficulty, Yue’er managed to extricate herself from the group of girls. She hurriedly followed Guo Xiang and followed him into the private room on the second floor.
He did not expect thedies of the State of Tong Li to be so passionate. Yue Er still hadn’t recovered from the shock even when she sat on the chair. Guo Xiang couldn’t help butugh, “Young Master Yue, how were you treated by those girls just now?”
“Miss Xiang’er, you’reughing at Yue’er again!”
Yue’er decided to ignore Guo Xiang. Seeing that, Guo Xiang cleared her throat and reminded her, “We’re all young masters now, look at how shy you are. You’ll be seen through very soon. Don’t you want to see your young miss? ”
Yue’er hastily opened her mouth and said, “Of course, of course we want to, but where do we go from now on?” I wonder how she is doing now. ”
“Don’t worry, your young miss is so smart and knows martial arts, she will definitely be fine.”
After saying that, Yue’er was stunned for a moment before muttering, “That’s true. Ever since Miss regained consciousness, you’ve be much smarter than before.”
The two of them were sipping tea and eating melon seeds when amotion broke out downstairs. Out of curiosity, Guo Xiang reminded Yue’er to sit in her room and wait. She went out to check on the situation, and Yue’er nodded before obediently sitting in her original position to wait for Guo Xiang to return.
Downstairs, there was a beautifuldy wearing a cloak embroidered with golden peonies. Her hair hung down her back, and under the protection of a few maids, she slowly made her way to the second floor.
Guo Xiang stood at the door and stared at the woman, unable to open her eyes for a long time. Although this woman was not as beautiful as Mo Li, but under the gorgeous headdress and clothing decoration, her temperament waspletely revealed.
Seeing the woman walking towards them, Guo Xiang swallowed her saliva. She felt that her gaping mouth was a little out of ce. She quickly pursed her lips and smiled, disying the appearance of a modest gentleman dressed in clothes.
The servant girl behind the woman, upon seeing this, reminded her with a look of despise: “Scram! Don’t block our mistress’s way! ”
Guo Xiang was stunned for a moment, but she paid no heed. Smiling faintly at the maid, she took a step back into the room and stepped aside, opening up a path for them.
Inside the house, Yue’er’s body stiffened when she heard a voice that was suddenly heard. This voice sounded very familiar, like the fragrance of autumn. She hurriedly stood up and walked to the door. She stuck her head out to look, but all she saw was the backs of a group of women.
Seeing that, Guo Xiang curiously asked, “Yue’er, what’s wrong? Are you interested in that woman as well? ”
A hint of disappointment shed across Yue’er’s eyes. “I only heard a familiar voice and thought it was from my hometown.”
Hearing Yue’er’s words, Guo Huai Yue’er thought that she was homesick, and her voice suddenly became gentler. “We will find Long Er very soon, and then we will return to Ming-Ming Kingdom together,” Guo Huai said to her. Don’t be sad? “Hrm?”
“Thank you, Miss Xiang’er. You and my family’s youngdy are good people. If you treat Yue’er like family, I will never forget your great kindness.”
As they passed the corner of the corridor, they suddenly stopped. Qiu Xiang cast a nce at Dong Xiang and asked softly, “Did you hear Second Miss’ voice?”
Dong Xiang looked at Qiu Xiang and replied, “Among us maidservants, only you and the Second Miss have spoken. This is the Tong Li Country, why would the Second Misse here?”
“Don’t forget, on the day of King Jing’s wedding, Mo Xiang took our second young mistress and ran away with him, and the bride was a fake by Mo Li.”
As she finished speaking, the woman walking at the very front turned her head to look at Qiu Xiang, and asked with her seductive voice, “Qiu Xiang, is what you said true? Was the one who just spoke really my sister? ”
Qiu Xiang quickly kneeled on the ground and carefully replied, “In reply to the Empress, I guess it can’t be wrong. The maidservant had chatted with the Second Miss a few times, so she had some understanding of her voice. Furthermore, the Second Miss did not appear at King Jing’s wedding that day. So it is very likely that they havee to the State of Tong Li. ”
“Since that’s the case, you should go over and take a look. If it’s really her, think of a way to bring her over.”
“Yes, Empress!”
After saying that, Lily entered the innermost private room. A group of maids stood guard outside the door to wait upon her.
On the other side, Xiao Ruojun’s carriage was following behind Helian Yi the entire time. However, in order to avoid disturbing Helian Yi, his carriage maintained a certain distance from Helian Yi.
With a distance of two to three miles between them and the State of Tong Li, Mo Xiang leaned against the window as he gazed out at the scenery outside. He turned to Helian Yi and asked, “Could it be that they are not in the State of Tong Li?”
Helian Yi looked up and shook his head, “Although Prince Guo’s daughter is unruly and willful, she is very smart. At night, he took Yue’er away, but neither of them had any martial arts. The most dangerous ce is the safest ce. This way, Xiao Ruo Jun’s men will only be searching for people outside of Tong Li City, but they won’t know that the two of them have long since entered Tong Li City. ”
“But Guo Xiang is a princess of Fu Sang Country after all. Tong Li City is a foreign ce to her …”
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Helian Yi, “Don’t worry, Wushang and the others will find them at noon at thetest. Trust in This King! ”
Mo Xie stared at Helian Yi suspiciously. Seeing the confident look in his eyes, she instantly felt reassured. As long as this man speaks, she will believe him!
At this moment, in Tong Li City, Wushang had brought eight hidden guards disguised as the citizens of Tong Li City, inquiring about Yue’er and Guo Xiang’s whereabouts. When he left, Helian Yi had warned him that he would do his best to look for someone in the guise of a man. ording to Guo Xiang’s personality, she would choose to enter Li City disguised as a man.
As expected, when they arrived near the Yellow Crane Tower, they heard a fewdies whispering about the two beautiful men inside. Wushang paused in his steps, walked up to a girl, pulled her and asked:
“The handsome man you all are talking about is actually so tall. One of the young master’s eyes is very big, and his nose bridge is very high …”
The girl sized him up after hearing Wushang’s words, turning her face away in disdain. Seeing this, Wushang took out ten taels of silver from his bosom and ced it in front of thedy, “Now, can you tell me what happened?”
When the girl saw the silver, she was happier than if she saw her parents. She stretched out her hand to grab it, but was retracted by Wushang. “Tell me, where are the two gongzis?”
“It’s on the second floor of the private room!”
Wushang red at the girl, and threw the silver taels into her hands. Then, he rushed to the private room on the second floor.
