The Regent Princess has run away again

Chapter 122 You Don’t Want to Live

Xue Zhiyu listened to the Chinese language with a slight accent and immediately guessed who it was. When she turned around and saw the person coming, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"It turns out to be Miss Bai Nuolan. Thank you for your concern. I hope everything is fine recently. I wonder how Miss Bai is doing these days?"

Bai Nuolan was wearing a light purple dress and a string of jade bells on her wrists. Crisp sounds could be heard with every move she made.

"Thanks to the princess, everything is fine."

"Why don't you see Miss K'K'K'?"

Bai Nuolan shook his head helplessly, “This girl has been out playing early in the morning except for meeting people at night these days.”

The three of them walked into Quanfu while talking, and with the warm hospitality of the waiter, they went up to the private room on the second floor.

"If you two want to order any food, just let me know," the waiter said, and closed the door.

The sound of my daughter's wine glasses clinking together downstairs could be heard coming up, mixed with the shouts from the shops outside. The air was filled with the aroma of food, which made me hungry.

Jun Xian sat down aside and looked down at the bustling crowd.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he calmly picked up the pebble in the flowerpot and threw it towards the figure accurately.

The man who was originally sneaking around suddenly cried out in pain, and before Xue Zhiyu could see Jun Xian's movements clearly, he had already gone downstairs.

"Hey, why are you so unreasonable? Let me go!"

Soon, Jun Xian came up with a boy who was dressed a little dirty, and then kicked him in the knee mercilessly.

The boy fell to his knees in pain, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.

When Xue Zhiyu saw the boy, she always felt that he looked familiar. Only when she heard him speak did she remember him.

"Aren't you Xiao Qi? Why are you here?"

Xue Zhiyu winked at Jun Xian as she spoke, signaling him to let go.

"Princess, I see this kid is constantly wandering downstairs. He must be planning to do something. You must not be careless."

After hearing this, the boy seemed to want to bite him. He turned his head and stared at Jun Xian fiercely, gritting his teeth and said, "How am I sneaky? What? Is your name written here?"

A hint of disgust flashed across Jun Xian's face, and he disdained to argue with him.

Xue Zhiyu rubbed her brows. This Xiaoqi hasn't changed. She remembered asking him to find a good job, so why is he still like this now?

"Let him go. I know this boy."

"That's right, let go of your dog's paws!"

Jun Xian glanced at him unhappily, let go of his hand and continued to lean against the windowsill.

Xiao Qi cried out and fell heavily to the ground. He sat up in pain, looked at his bruised calves and arms, and skillfully took out medicine powder from his sleeves to apply it.

"Tell me, Jun Xian just asked what you were originally planning to do downstairs?" Xue Zhiyu said as she poured him a cup of tea.

Bai Nuolan raised his eyebrows, feeling a little curious when watching all this.

Xiao Qi was not polite. He picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp. Then he added several more cups. When his throat was moistened a lot, he sat down and said slowly, "I have no money to eat. What else can I do? Otherwise, I will starve to death sooner or later."

"You didn't find any work to do?"

"I don't know anything. No one would be willing to hire me unless they are not very smart."

Xue Zhiyu drank a sip of tea without saying anything, and she was thinking more deeply.

The dishes were soon served, and Jun Xian also sat down. Looking at the dishes on the table, he couldn't help but praise, "No wonder Quanfu has been open for so long, the food must taste good."

Xiao Qi was not polite either. When he saw the dishes coming up, he brushed the dust off his hands. Just as he was about to reach out to grab them, Xue Zhiyu hit him on the back of his hand with a chopstick. He quickly withdrew his hand in pain.

"If you want to eat, use chopsticks."

Bai Nuolan looked Xiao Qi up and down. It happened that he was downstairs of Quanfu Building, and he was discovered by people around Xue Zhiyu. It was obvious that this boy was not simple.

It’s really interesting. It seems she will have to go and take a look later.

Xiao Qi looked like he hadn't eaten for days. He ate while staring at the food in front of him, which made Xue Zhiyu feel helpless again.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Xue Zhiyu looked at Xiao Qi and said, "My new restaurant, which will open tomorrow, is in need of a handyman. You can come and try. I'll give you one or two taels of silver every month, and I'll provide food."

"Okay, I have nothing to do anyway."

After Xue Zhiyu briefly explained to him, Xiao Qi left Quanfu. Then Bai Nuolan said that he happened to have something to do and left as well.

After seeing the two men leave, Jun Xian expressed his worries, "Princess, do you need me to check that person's background?"

"Not for now, but you should be on guard against him and keep an eye on his movements."

"Yes."

Xiao Qi went out and hurriedly ran towards the alley next to him. He clearly felt that someone was following him. Impatientness suddenly appeared in his eyes, and then he jumped onto the roof with a few leaps.

But unfortunately, the person behind him was still following slowly. Xiao Qi recognized that it was the woman next to Xue Zhiyu.

He took out a dart from his chest and shot it behind him. He wanted to see how powerful she was.

Unexpectedly, Bai Nuolan slightly moved to the side and avoided the dart.

Tsk, looks like I can’t go there today.

Xiao Qi had no choice but to change direction and jumped into one of the alleys. He hid left and right like a mouse and disappeared.

Bai Nuolan did not follow him either. Now he was standing under the eaves, looking at the alley where Xiao Qi disappeared, his emerald green eyes gleaming with coldness.

If she remembered correctly, all the people living in that direction were noble families. How could a little beggar like him be so familiar with the place?

Bai Nuolan thought for a long time before turning around and leaving, but there was more thought in his heart.

The next day, at daybreak, the sounds of gongs and drums came from far away, getting louder and louder.

The Qian'an Troupe's performance in Beijing was a grand event, with people standing on both sides of the street early on, seemingly all there to watch the fun.

Xue Zhiyu got up early again that day, and it was a rare occasion that she didn't stay in bed. Xiaoqiu was relieved and hurried to prepare breakfast for her.

"Wow, why didn't the princess invite me to eat with her? That's so sad."

Before I saw the person coming, I saw a bright color coming into my sight. It was Xuanji.

During this period, he seemed to like wearing such bright clothes more and more.

Xue Zhiyu glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, took a bite of the bun and said unhappily, "Shouldn't the gods just drink fairy dew? Why do they always eat mortal food?"

Xuanji sat down next to her in a familiar manner and reached out to take a bun. Seeing her asking this, she pretended to be serious and said, "After all, I'm not one of those old naughty kids. What's the point of just drinking fairy dew water?"

"Tsk, if I didn't know you were a genuine god, I would have thought you were a liar."

Xuanji ate a bun in a few bites, took the towel handed over by Xiaoqiu to wipe her hands, then raised her eyebrows and said narcissistically: "Have you ever seen a liar as handsome as me?"

"Okay, shut up. You're disturbing my breakfast."

Xue Zhiyu was too lazy to talk to him about this and asked Xiaoqiu to sit down quickly.

After they finished eating, Jun Xian happened to arrive. He was a little surprised to see a man in the yard, but soon calmed down.

"Princess, the car is ready."

"Well, let's go."

"Hey, where are you going? Take me with you," Xuan Ji said as she quickly followed.

"Let's go to Youlai Inn to look for the people from Qian'an Squad."

Xuanji thought about it and seemed to have some impression of this. It seemed to be a troupe that was very good at singing opera.

He hadn't heard mortal opera for a long time. The last time he heard it was when the three of them sneaked out of the Panlong Fairy Meeting.

Thinking of this, his eyes inadvertently revealed a bit of sadness and loneliness. What a trick of fate! But this emotion was fleeting and he returned to his indifferent look.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of Youlai Inn. Xue Zhiyu asked for the owner's private room and went upstairs with the two people behind her.

"Who?"

The class owner opened the door as he spoke. When he saw the woman knocking on the door, his face suddenly showed a bit of surprise. He then made a gesture to invite them in, "Please come in quickly. You are such a rare guest."

"That would be too much trouble."

After the few people entered, the boy who was playing chess raised his head and looked over when he heard the familiar voice. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he hurried over and said, "Miss, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing recently?"

"Everything is fine."

When the troupe owner was about to pour tea for them, Xue Zhiyu stopped him. She didn't say any more nonsense and got straight to the point: "Owner, I won't waste any more time talking to you. My restaurant will open tomorrow, and I would like to invite you to perform. As for the money, you have the final say."

The troupe owner restrained his smile. This was the first time he had heard of this method. He hesitated and said, "But you know, young lady, we need a relatively large stage for our performance."

"Or if the class owner is worried, he can go with me to take a look."

"That's fine, but what time does the girl need our Qian'an class tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow at noon, I will send someone to lead the way for you."

After the two of them made the decision, the class owner was reluctant to charge more at first, but was persuaded by Xue Zhiyu.

"This is the rule. It cannot be broken because of an outsider like me. You should accept this hundred taels of silver."

"this....."

Xue Zhiyu pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Does the class owner look down on me like this?"

The boss smiled helplessly and had to accept the banknote she handed over.

"Come on, go check out my restaurant, and let me know if there's anything you need to change."

After leaving Youlai Inn, they rushed to the restaurant together.

After Xue Zhiyu opened the door of the restaurant, the boss saw a medium-sized table in the middle. He walked in and looked around, and then took a look at these strange tables. He couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter with this table?"

"You mean this? This is for hot pot, but only the first floor has this kind of food. The second floor is for desserts. I'll ask you to stay for a meal tomorrow before you leave."

Xue Zhiyu saw that he was curious about this and walked over to explain.

"What is this hot pot?"

The boss felt that even though he had traveled all over the country for a long time, he had never heard of hot pot, let alone seen such a strange table. There was also something like a seven-wheel fan next to it, but it didn't look quite like it.

The few of them chatted for a long time before they walked out of the restaurant. The boss looked at the covered sign outside the door and asked curiously, "What name did the girl give this restaurant?"

"Baiweijia."

"Baiweijia.....this name is great, all the flavors are top quality."

"That's what it means."

After the three of them watched the class leader leave, Xuanji, who had been holding back her words, could not help but walk up and jokingly said, "The princess's brain is truly unmatched. Only the princess can come up with so many new ideas."

"Stop it. You can handle it yourself tonight."

A hint of complexity flashed across Xuanji's beautiful phoenix eyes.

"Hey, Ziyun, don't think I won't come to see you just because you're not here."

After a long while, Xiaoqi, also known as Ziyun, said slowly: "Do you think I'm idle? It seems that the adults haven't come to ask about her situation for a long time recently." When he said this, there was a little more worry in Ziyun's originally calm eyes.

Xuanji's smile froze for a moment, then she regained her nonchalant expression, "Tsk, he's not dead, is he?"

"What are you talking about, you stinky mouth?!"

Seeing that Ziyun wanted to strangle herself to death, Xuanji continued: "Forget it, I'll go check it out for you, otherwise no one will know if you die."

He ignored Ziyun's cursing and took the initiative to interrupt their conversation.

"Oh, what a pity. I have something else to do and cannot have dinner with the princess."

Xue Zhiyu stopped and turned around to see his regretful look. She said with a smile, "You said it as if there won't be a next time. Go do what you have to do."

"My princess is so considerate. If a man can marry you, it will be a great honor for his ancestors."

"Go away, if you tease me again, don't come over next time when I eat new food."

Xuan Ji looked at the backs of the two people leaving, turned and walked into an alley, and silently cast a spell in a corner where no one could notice.

Soon, after a flash of light, the person disappeared.

The underworld was filled with a faint smell of blood, and the datura that had once bloomed in full bloom had all withered. Apart from the movements of the souls in the Sanzu River and the voices of the underworld officials, there seemed to be no other sounds.

Xuan Ji saw that the underworld was more lifeless than ever before, especially the guys including King Qingyu. Everyone had a dark face and looked lifeless.

He quickly entered the largest bedroom and looked at the surrounding layout. The complexity in his eyes became even more intense, and there was a hint of helplessness.

The layout here has never changed, it's the same as when she left, even the position of the bottle has not changed.

He sighed, turned the corner as if he was familiar with the place, and walked into the bedroom next door.

On the simple and rustic bed, there was a man in a black gold-woven robe. His dignified and indifferent profile was perfect and impeccable, especially the high nose bridge, which made his facial features more three-dimensional. At this moment, his eyes were closed, beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead, his handsome sword-like eyebrows were slightly frowned, his face was pale, and blood was slowly flowing from the corners of his mouth.

Xuanji cursed inwardly, walked over and quickly nodded on several of his major acupoints with her hands, muttering something.

"untie!"

The man who had his eyes closed suddenly opened them and spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said in a calm tone: "Why are you here?"

"Tsk, are you trying to save your life? You know your body right now. You are lucky to be alive, let alone recover one ten-thousandth of your peak power."

Hyun Kyung ignored him, stood up from the bed, stared at somewhere, and remained silent for a long time.

Xuanji followed his gaze.

It was a mandala hairpin carved from red stone. Hyun Kyung walked over and picked it up, stroking it carefully in her palm, her eyes filled with nostalgia.

"You continue to protect her for me. This fight from the beginning should not have dragged her into it. I've made a mistake once. Now as long as she is alive and well, I have nothing else to ask for."
