Chapter 291 Calling Him "Royal Brother"
The sound grew closer, sounding as if someone was about to scale the wall and break in at any moment.
Xin Moyan's heart suddenly started pounding. She was stuck to the tree, stuck in a limbo. If she came down, she would be discovered, but she couldn't go back up either!
What should we do?
"Whoo~"
A cold wind brushed her face, and Xin Moyan shivered involuntarily. When she finally saw the light blue figure, her pupils dilated instantly, and she cried out in a daze.
"Sister Yi... Sister Yi'er?"
Shui Yi patted the dust off her hands, looked up, and saw Xin Moyan hanging on the tree in a peculiar posture. Although it was easy to find her, it was still quite strange!
Wen Wan's face lit up with joy. "Yan'er! Yan'er, your sister has finally found you! This...you..."
Before Xin Moyan could react to her agile movements, she was pulled to the foot of the tree by Shui Yi and then held tightly in her arms.
"Yan'er, it's alright now. I'm sorry to have made you suffer."
Shui Yi's eyes reddened as she stroked Yan'er's head, her eyes filled with heartache. Yan'er had lost so much weight in just a few days.
"Waaaaah~ Sister Yi'er, I knew you would come to save me. You have no idea how tyrant is."
Xin Moyan sniffed, overwhelmed with grievance.
"Yan'er, be good. We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let me take you out first."
"Uh-huh."
Although she was very surprised by Sister Yi'er's skill, she still wanted to escape first.
Without saying much, Shui Yi put his arm around her shoulder, and in the blink of an eye, he easily climbed over the two-meter-high wall, and the two of them stood steadily at the corner of the wall.
"Sister Yi'er, why are you the only one here? Where's brother? Where's Xuanyuan?"
As soon as she landed, Xin Moyan immediately asked a question, after all, it was Sister Yi'er who came to save her, which was really unbelievable.
"This……"
Shui Yi frowned, her expression gradually becoming complicated. She glanced around and then gripped Xin Moyan's wrist tightly.
"Yan'er, don't make a sound. A-Ling is on the other side of the palace. I'll take you to find him."
Xin Moyan nodded obediently, and just as she was about to lift her leg, a deep and mellow voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Water Memories".
With just one word, Shui Yi panicked and pulled Xin Moyan around to leave.
Xin Moyan didn't speak, but she felt a little puzzled. Could it be that Sister Yi'er knew someone here?
Before they had taken two steps, a dark figure slowly emerged from the shadows. The person was wearing a black hooded robe, the large hood completely obscuring their face, but judging from their build, it was not difficult to tell that they were a man.
She seemed particularly nervous because Xin Moyan felt her wrist being gripped tighter and tighter.
"Elder, Shuiyi begs you, please let Yan'er and me go see A-Ling first, he is not far away."
The man in black robes merely raised his head slightly, his eyes seemingly weathered by time, sharp yet tinged with a hint of authority, making Xin Moyan feel extremely uncomfortable.
"It's too late, Shuiyi. The boat is about to leave the shore. This is the only chance. You take her and go first."
"What about A-Ling? Elder, didn't we agree..."
"Shuiyi, this is an order. If we delay any longer, no one will be able to leave. Don't forget your mission."
The man coldly interrupted Shui Yi's request, sweeping his black robe across his face.
Xin Moyan felt a sudden dizziness and fell straight into Shui Yi's arms.
The three remained hidden in the darkness, and the surroundings remained as quiet as ever.
Inside the palace, chaos erupted due to Xin Moyan's sudden disappearance. Xuan Yuan's face was ashen as he glared menacingly at the man before him.
"I'll ask you one last time, did you hide Yan'er away?"
"Do you really not believe me?"
Nightfall was equally furious. What on earth was going on? He had his spies all over the palace, and he had them searched almost the entire place. Where could Xiao Yan'er have gone?
"Sleepless nights are a matter between you and me, and have nothing to do with Yan'er."
"Ho!"
He sneered in anger, "Ye Yuan, I have achieved my purpose in seeing you tonight. There is no need to keep Xiao Yan'er around. The most urgent thing is to find that girl. Stop making wild guesses, okay?"
Yao Ruoyu pursed her lips tightly, her expression growing increasingly anxious. It seemed that Yan'er had safely left the palace, but none of them knew that Yan'er's husband would come to the palace to look for her!
Moreover, this young master is actually the king's younger brother. She had never heard of this before. Didn't the late emperor only have the king as his heir?
"Ruoyu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?"
Ye Wumian turned around and saw that she looked uneasy, so he couldn't help but feel nervous.
She shook her head. "Your Majesty, I am fine."
Xuan Yuan raised his eyes to look at the pregnant woman opposite him. Just now, she had called Yan'er affectionately and Yan'er had mentioned her name. Yan'er must trust her very much.
With that expression now, could it be that he knows something?
"Sleepless night."
"Call me Imperial Brother!"
Ye Wumian yelled irritably. He didn't want Xiao Yan'er to disappear more than anyone else. He still wanted to ask her for advice on how to please Ruoyu...
I don't know how those idiots managed to do their jobs; they couldn't even find a maid!
I haven't acknowledged you yet.
"..."
"Sleepless night."
"What's going on?"
Ye Wumian looked up impatiently. He had made up his mind that once he found Xiao Yan'er, he would tie her up again. He refused to believe that Ye Yuan would never admit his true identity.
"The person next to you..."
"It's your sister-in-law."
Xuan Yuan: "..."
Yao Ruoyu quickly lowered her head, her face burning hot.
"She knows where Yan'er is."
"Huh?" Ye Wumian frowned, her eyes wide with surprise.
"Ruoyu?"
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry..." Yao Ruoyu knew she couldn't hide it any longer, so she told the whole truth.
After listening, Ye Wumian felt a strange mix of emotions. Although he had harbored doubts since earlier, and Xiao Yan'er must have already left the palace to be found by now, he chose to trust the woman beside him. After all, if Ruoyu knew how to leave the palace...
In reality, Ruoyu was even smarter than he had imagined, and of course, he would never let Ruoyu leave...
"Your Majesty, I am guilty."
Ye Wumian gently touched her belly. "Don't say anything, Ruoyu. Remember, I will never let you leave my side."
Perhaps he should thank Xin Moyan. If it weren't for that girl, he wouldn't have realized how important Ruoyu was to him, nor would he have seen through Ruoyu's true feelings.
"So, Yan'er has already left the palace?"
Xuan Yuan's tone was extremely unfriendly. He had lost Yan'er, yet he still had the nerve to be here under the flowers and moon.
"Yes, Yan'er, head towards the back of the Imperial Garden."
Yao Ruoyu said with a hint of apology, "If I had known this would happen, I would have made Yan'er wait a little longer."
"Your Majesty, there is a man outside the palace who claims to be a general of Yuanqi Kingdom."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Xin Moling stormed in, carrying the Azure Water Sword.
"Sleepless Night, hand over my sister."
