Chapter 58

  "See off His Majesty and Concubine Rong." Several princes hurriedly paid their respects, seeing off the Emperor and Consort Rong as they left.

  "Seventh Brother, you said that ugly woman, will she really enter the Yi Wang Fu?" Xuan Yuan Mo saw the Emperor leave and also reduced a few points of his caution, he still didn't quite believe that the woman would enter the Yi Wang Fu.

  "It's hard to say, since we're all here, let's help find it, who knows, maybe we'll really find it." The prince's eyes narrowed slightly, saying with a deeper meaning.

  He was too clear about Xuan Yuan Ye's ability, since Xuan Yuan Ye suspected it, there must be his reason. He really looked forward to Xuan Yuan Ye finding that woman soon. Because he really wanted to know how Xuan Yuan Ye would deal with that woman, this point was too important for him.

  "Alright, I'll go look for her too. If I find her, I won't let her off easily." Xuan Yuan Mo coldly snorted and said indignantly, still harboring a grudge since Meng Cui Ying used bees to sting him that one time.

  "Alright, let's go find them." Xuan Yuan Chen's eyes sparkled with excitement, no longer hiding it. Upon hearing Xuan Yuan Mo's words, he repeatedly echoed in agreement.

  Xuanyuan Fan's face had a few more serious expressions, and his eyes also showed a few more worried looks.

  Xuanyuan Ye's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his eyes seemed to hold a hint of dissatisfaction. Seeing Xuanyuan Mo about to take a step forward, he coldly said, "Halt."

  Xuan Yuan Mo stopped in his tracks, looking at him with some confusion, "Seventh Brother, what's wrong?"

  "Now that Father is gone and everyone has dispersed, this king's matters will be handled by this king himself."

  He has never liked others interfering in his affairs, let alone this matter.

  Of course, he even more doesn't wish for the crown prince to stay here.

  "Someone, send the prince and several kings away." Before Xuan Yuan Mo could refute, Xuan Yuan Ye had already coldly given the order.

  The prince's eyes sank suddenly, and his hand hidden under his clothes seemed to tighten slightly. He hummed, so eager to hurry him away?

  "Yes." The guards who were searching nearby rushed over, bowed respectfully, and then turned to the prince and several kings, saying in a low voice, "The prince please, the kings please."

  "Seventh brother, this is too much. We just wanted to help you find...” Xuan Yuan Mo protested in dissatisfaction, and Xuan Yuan Chen also had a face full of discontent, but he didn't voice his dissatisfaction out loud.

  "Let's go. Don't you want to disobey Seventh Brother's orders?" Xuan Yuan Fan, however, slightly pulled Xuan Yuan Mo and walked out, the worry in his eyes lessening a bit. He knew that Seventh Brother was doing this most importantly to make the Crown Prince leave.

  The crown prince gave him a cold glance, his lips curled into a faintly meaningful smile, and he said in a chilly tone, "Alright, since my seventh brother is so unwelcoming to me, then I won't stay here to make a fool of myself."

  After all, he doesn't have the ability to directly confront Xuan Yuan Ye yet, so he won't provoke him at this time.

  After everyone left, Xuan Yuan Ye's eyes swept over the courtyard, and the anger in his eyes was no longer concealed.

  He didn't know how long it had been since he last lost his temper, but today, she really infuriated him.

  He didn't believe that woman could escape...

  All the guards were carefully searching every nook and cranny, without missing a single place, even those rooms that had not been inhabited for a long time were searched one by one.

  One by one, Xuan Yuan Ye was also slowly walking in the King's mansion, a pair of eyes, however, were slowly scanning every corner of wherever he went.

  Finally, walked into the backyard.

  "Your Highness, I've had men search the entire East Wing, but nothing has been found." A leading guard reported in a low voice after coming out of the East Wing.

  "Your Highness, we have searched the entire West Wing with our men and found nothing." Another group of guards also came to report.

  "Your Highness, nothing was found in the South Wing either."

  "Your Highness, the main house has also been searched..."

  One after another report, but all were results of failure.

  Only this backyard was left, with a few guards still searching around. Xuan Yuan Ye's eyes slightly dimmed.

  "Your Highness, there is no one in this backyard either."

  This whole backyard has never been inhabited before.

  "Have you searched everywhere?" Xuan Yuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he asked again in a cold tone, could it be that he had misjudged?

  "Yes, we've already searched." The guards replied in unison, the young master's orders were not to be delayed. Every possible place had been searched,

  They all looked for it one by one, even digging up every mouse hole they saw.

  Xuanyuan Ye was very clear about the ability of his subordinates. With such a search, that woman would not be able to hide.

  Could it be that she didn't enter the Wang Fu at all?

  Let's talk about Meng Fu Ying. After entering the room, the more she thought about it, the more dangerous it became. Xuan Yuan Ye was able to judge at a glance that she had escaped from somewhere.

  Since he has guessed that she got off the sedan chair on this side of the bridge, if they can't find her outside later, they will definitely search for her inside the mansion.

  At this point, Meng Burui picked up the dry food that had been hidden under the bed and jumped out of the window.

  Fortunately, she didn't go around dusting the room or tearing down the spider webs.

  And the floor of this room was just like that kind of land surface, so if you didn't look closely, it would be impossible to see the footprints she left behind.

  So in the whole room, there was no sign of anything out of the ordinary, and after those guards searched, it would be even less likely that they would find any traces left behind by her.

  And just behind this room, there is a small bridge, a wooden bridge.

  Her eyes sparkled, Meng quickly walked to the edge of the bridge, carefully examined the situation under the bridge, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. This was indeed a good hiding place.

  Under the bridge, there was a horizontal wooden beam that supported the bridge body, and this bridge also had a slight arch.

  Meng Fuying slipped under the bridge and climbed onto that wooden beam. She arched her body slightly, sticking close to the bridge surface.

  No matter from which direction, it's hard to find her unless she jumps into the river.

  Just hidden, I heard the sound of chaotic footsteps, and a guard shouted loudly, "Search, search carefully, no corner can be missed."

  Meng Fu Ying, hiding under the bridge, took a deep breath. Xuan Yuan Ye had indeed become a spirit. She hadn't expected that someone would come to search the palace so soon, but fortunately, she was well-prepared.

  If she was still in that room at this moment, she would definitely be caught.

  If I had known about Xuan Yuan Ye's danger earlier, Meng Fu Ying would still be a little frightened at this moment.

  Those guards would never think that she was hiding under the bridge, or they simply couldn't think of it, so naturally they wouldn't be able to find her.

  She was secretly rejoicing when she heard Xuan Yuan Ye's voice, and suddenly startled, her hands even trembled slightly. How could Xuan Yuan Ye come to this backyard?

  At this moment, all the rooms in the backyard were open, and the tables and beds inside had been moved, which showed how carefully those guards searched.

  Xuanyuan Ye's eyes scanned each of those rooms, such a search, not to mention a person, even an ant would be found.

  Her eyes dimmed slightly. Is there nothing?

  It's unclear whether it was due to unwillingness, but he didn't leave and instead continued walking towards the backyard.

  The backyard was originally supposed to be the residence of the king's woman, but for so many years, his backyard has been empty. However, the scenery in this backyard is particularly beautiful, with mountains and water reflecting each other, flowers clustering together, and trees forming a shaded area.

  The guard saw the king walk inside and hesitated for a moment, then respectfully reported again, "Your Highness, the ones behind have also been found."

  Xuanyuan Ye didn't stop, continuing to walk forward, bypassing several rooms in front of him, his eyes gazing towards the bridge, narrowing slightly.

  The guard looked puzzled but didn't dare say anything else.

  Hiding under the bridge, Meng Fu's shadow was suddenly suspended, her heart was hanging in mid-air. Her ears were stuck to the bridge at this moment, so she heard those footsteps particularly clearly.

  She could hear Xuan Yuan Ye slowly walking towards this direction.

  Won't he have found out?

  Meng Fu Ying's hand subconsciously tightened its grip on the wooden beam, tightening.

  There was some tension in his heart, but he held his breath tightly, afraid that any sound he made would be detected by Xuan Yuan Ye.

  Xuanyuan Ye continued walking forward, but his eyes flickered slightly.

  His footsteps were slow, just a few steps away, but he walked for what seemed like a very long time.

  The Meng Fu shadow hiding under the bridge only felt his own heart, which was about to jump out. This man is too good at torturing people.

  Xuanyuan Ye finally walked onto the bridge and then stopped, Meng Fuying felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen, he had stopped!

  He actually stopped on the bridge, so does that mean he really found her?

  Heavens, Xuan Yuan Ye, are you even human? How could he have discovered this too.

  However, he just stopped on the bridge and didn't make any further moves. So Meng Fuying remained still, crawling on the wooden beam, secretly telling herself that he hadn't discovered her, hadn't discovered her.

  However, the words that suddenly came from the bridge thoroughly shattered all her illusions.

  "How long do you plan to hide?" Xuan Yuan Ye's lips curled slightly, his low and slow words spreading out one by one, with a hint less of coldness but more obvious anger.

  The guards behind him looked at each other, didn't see anyone? Especially those guards who had just searched the backyard, were shocked and also a little tense, after all, if His Highness found someone in this backyard, it would be their dereliction of duty.

  How is this possible? How did he find out about it?

  Meng Fu Ying really couldn't believe it.

  Her body was tightly pressed against the bottom of the bridge, she was originally thin and wore the simplest casual clothes, even the slightly drooping hem of her clothes, she carefully tucked it into her shirt. At this moment, she almost merged with the bridge.

  The only way to find her was to jump off the bridge.

  In other directions, she will absolutely not be seen.

  Moreover, Xuan Yuan Ye was walking straight towards the bridge from his angle of view, unless he had X-ray vision, it was absolutely impossible for him to see her.

  If he came over from the side, she could barely accept it.

  So even if she heard Xuan Yuan Ye's words at this moment, she still wouldn't believe that Xuan Yuan Ye had really discovered her.

  Her body remained bent over the wooden beam, motionless, and her breathing was also extremely restrained. It wasn't that she had a lucky psychology, but rather that she really didn't know where she had revealed a weakness, and been discovered by him.

  Her eyes gazed down at the flowing river water below.

  It's early summer now, and the river has risen a lot due to the continuous rainfall over the past few days. Although the current is not very rapid, it is constantly flowing, producing a clear and pleasant sound.

  The sound was enough to cover up her breathing, let alone that she was holding her breath at the moment, and there were so many guards present. Even if Xuan Yuan Ye's hearing was exceptionally good, it would be impossible for him to hear her breathing.

  She chose this place at that time, also taking into account this point.

  Because the river water is constantly flowing, the river water is not very clear, and it is impossible to reflect her shadow on the flowing waves, so it is absolutely impossible to find her from the surface of the water.

  Is it breath?

  Meng Fu Ying's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she immediately denied the conjecture in her mind once again.

  This morning, she specially soaked for half an hour and scrubbed off several layers of skin with a towel, without using any fragrances.

  When she was making up in the morning, she also refused them to use anything on her face, although Qing Zhu had some disagreement at that time, but she couldn't overpower her, so there wasn't any smelly thing on her body.

  So at this moment, there is no smell on her body that Xuan Yuan Ye can detect.

  Not bad, she did use the medicinal water to remove those black things from her face in the flower sedan, but the medicinal water she used had a very strong volatility, and by the time the flower sedan arrived at Hou Wangfu, there was actually no smell left. Moreover, after getting off the sedan, she also threw a specially made sachet into the sedan, which would only break open when it received a slight impact, and the fragrance would come out.

  Originally thought it was impossible for anyone else to notice the taste of that medicine, but she knew that Xuan Yuan Ye had smelled it at the time.

  Otherwise, he could not have suddenly changed his orders.

  Have to say, Xuan Yuan Ye's nose is not generally sensitive. His power of observation is also not generally high.

  But at this moment, the taste of that medicine is absolutely gone, and at this moment, the taste of nature is enough to cover up all other tastes.

  The flowers in the backyard are blooming beautifully, their fragrance is overwhelming, and the smell of the green grass, combined with the smell of the river water, all the smells mixed together, even if Xuan Yuan's nose was extremely sensitive, he still wouldn't be able to detect her.

  In this way, he can still be found by him, which can only prove that Xuan Yuan Ye is really not human.

  At this moment, Meng Fuying's mind was racing with thoughts, like thunder and lightning.

  Alas, he died before achieving his goal, woe is me, how sad!

  It's just that he died too early, and it wasn't the right time either.

  From running away from marriage to now, it's been less than two hours.

  Xuanyuan Ye discovered that she had escaped from the wedding, and at that time, he was definitely furious. The search for nearly two hours was just a gradual increase in his anger, which had already reached a boiling point.

  At this moment, Xuan Yuan Ye is like a bomb, desperately filling explosives, desperately filling explosives. For these two hours, he hasn't stopped at all, and now it has reached the point where he can't fill anymore.

  It's just reached the highest limit.

  At this moment, only one fuse is needed, and she is the only one, also the most intense fuse. Once it appears, it will inevitably burst in an instant.

  Exploded into a pile of bones and dust, exploded into a daze of heaven and earth.

  Heavens, can't you be even more cruel and let Xuan Yuan Ye discover her at this time? Isn't that sending her to her death?

  Let her use this flesh and blood body to explode that explosive, even if she has nine lives it's not enough to blow up.

  At this moment, she thought about whether she should understand herself and die with a whole body.

  Of course, that's impossible, because she cherishes her current life very much and can't easily give up on it, so it can only be secretly taken care of.

  Because of the intense struggle going on in her mind, Meng Cuo Ying didn't move.

  "Get out." Xuan Yuan Ye was clearly impatient, coldly barking again, this time with even more obvious anger in his voice, "You'd better not wait until I come to grab you."

  The words paused slightly, and the supplementary words were even more dangerous, making Meng Fu's shadow under the bridge tremble involuntarily.

  She'd rather die than be a turtle, anyway it's just one death, eighteen years later she'll be a good man again, no, should be eighteen years later, another heroine.

  But she doesn't seem to have died like a hero at all.

  Xuanyuan Ye's words have already made it clear that she knows hiding any longer will only make his anger worse when he comes to find her, so after careful consideration, she decides to come out herself.

  Meng Fu Ying was hiding under the bridge, so she couldn't see Xuan Yuan Ye, and therefore didn't notice that Xuan Yuan Ye's eyes were fixed intently on the flower cluster in front of him.

  She was just about to leave.

  Not far away from the grass, a person slowly stood up.

  "Seventh Brother." A playful voice, with a hint of mischief, yet also hiding a hint of frustration. He had hidden his entire body in the flower bushes, and yet Seventh Brother was still able to find him. It had to be said, Seventh Brother was indeed too formidable.

  Meng Fu Ying's hand, which was just about to move, stiffened and stopped in its tracks. Her body, which had been about to shift, also pressed tightly back onto the bridge surface once again. Suddenly, she felt a thin layer of sweat seeping from her palms. Shock, utter shock.
