Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King - Chapter 195

It was oddly quiet in the Yonghe Palace. There was no guard on patrol at all.

Xuanyuan Mo frowned and waved at Lishang and the others. Lishang and the others immediately took the hint and entered the Yonghe Palace quietly.

Xuanyuan Mo didn’t follow inside. Instead, he turned around and went in another direction.

In the study of the Shengyu Palace, a man in black suddenly appeared. He was good-looking and his amber eyes glistened in the dark study.

The man in black was Xuanyuan Mo who got out of the Yonghe Palace.

Xuanyuan Mo glanced around the study of the Shengyu Palace and then fixed his gaze on a painting on the wall. It was a portrait of a woman, who was wearing a delicate wedding dress and a golden phoenix coronet on her head with a makeup-free pretty face. Her strikingly beautiful face featured black eyebrows, red lips, purple eyes as shiny as stars and creamy skin. She was as gorgeous as a phoenix flying out of the fire.

Xuanyuan Mo’s amber eyes were raging with anger. Xuanyuan Hao was so outrageous. How dared he covet Xi!

Xuanyuan Mo raised his hand and struck a blast of black mysterious Qi at the portrait.

With a bang, the black mysterious Qi hit the portrait. Instantly, the portrait turned into ashes and disappeared. If it were not because Xuanyuan Mo had controlled his force, the whole wall would turn into ashes too.

The portrait vanished into thin air. As a result, the hidden drawer behind the portrait was exposed in front of Xuanyuan Mo.

Upon seeing the hidden drawer, Xuanyuan Mo slightly narrowed his eyes and rushed to the wall quickly. As he pressed the bump on the hidden drawer, the rock wall rose instantly and an entrance appeared in the wall.

Xuanyuan Mo squinted his eyes and went through the entrance with a flash.

Meanwhile, in the bedding room of Xuanyuan Hao, Xuanyuan Hao, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes. Without thinking much, he directly turned around, got off the bed, grabbed the clothes from the screen and flew out.

Xuanyuan Mo walked along the long passage into a secret chamber.

Xuanyuan Mo glanced at the round platform in the middle of the secret chamber. Currently, there was no one on the round platform but four big iron chains.

Xuanyuan Mo walked onto the round platform and saw several puddles of liquid on it. He crouched down, touched the liquid and sniffed at it.

It was blood. Xuanyuan Mo jerked up his head and knitted his eyebrows. He had a sense of foreboding instantly.

Xuanyuan Hao rushed into the study and saw that the portrait in front of the hidden drawer was gone. His eyes were filled with rich killing intent instantly. He directly scurried to the wall, pressed the bump on the secret drawer and rushed inside.

In the secret chamber, Xuanyuan Mo’s ears suddenly twitched. With a flash, he disappeared from the secret chamber.

Xuanyuan Hao rushed into the secret chamber and saw nobody. His hands drooping on his sides were balled into fists and his eyes were narrowed fiercely.

“Bang…” Xuanyuan Hao hit a punch on the wall, smacking a hole in the wall instantly.

“Xuanyuan Mo, wait and see. I won’t let go of you.”

Xuanyuan Mo got out of the Shengyu Palace and sent out a signal. Then, he directly returned to Prince Zhan’s mansion.

In Xuelan House of Prince Zhan’s mansion, Duanmu Xi was waiting for Xuanyuan Mo fretfully.

With a squeak, the door was opened. Upon seeing Xuanyuan Mo, Duanmu Xi directly ran to him and put her arms around his waist.

Hugging Duanmu Xi, Xuanyuan Mo slightly knitted his eyebrows, “Why aren’t you sleeping? I’ve asked you not to wait for me.”

Duanmu Xi raised her head and looked at Xuanyuan Mo with a pout, “I can’t fall asleep without you around.”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo raised his lips and bent down to kiss her on the lips. He directly carried her into his arms and walked to the bedside.

Duanmu Xi put her arms around Xuanyuan Mo’s neck and looked at him, “Have you got any clues?”

Xuanyuan Mo put Duanmu Xi on the bed gently, took off his clothes, got on the bed and cuddled her, “I found a secret chamber in the study of the Shengyu Palace but there was nobody in the secret chamber.”

Duanmu Xi blinked her eyes in confusion. Shengyu Palace? Why wasn’t it in the Yonghe Palace?

He seemed to have guessed Duanmu Xi’s thoughts and then explained, “Shengyu Palace is the palace where Xuanyuan Hao stays.”

Duanmu Xi took a tumble with a nod. Xuanyuan Hao was Consort De’s son. It made sense why there was a secret chamber in the Shengyu Palace.

“Third Master isn’t in the secret chamber. Did I guess it wrongly? Does Third Master’s disappearance have nothing to do with the one in the Yonghe Palace?”

Xuanyuan Mo heard that and shook his head, “No, you didn’t guess it wrongly. Third Master should have just been transferred by them. I guess Long Yue and his peers were found last night so they hurriedly transferred her to another place.”

The blood on the ground of the secret chamber hadn’t been fully dry yet, which indicated that someone must be in the chamber this morning. He just didn’t want to tell her about the blood. There was so much blood on the ground. It suggested that Third Master must have been severely tortured. He didn’t want to let her worried.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi looked at Xuanyuan Mo and said anxiously, “You mean that Third Master was still in the secret chamber last night? Where has she been transferred to now?”

“No rush. I’ve had Lishang look into this. I suppose we will acquire information soon,” Xuanyuan Mo held Duanmu Xi into his arms and said gently, “It’s late now. Let’s go to bed.”

Duanmu Xi leaned against Xuanyuan Mo’s chest quietly and frowned. Where had Third Master been transferred to now?

The next morning, Xuanyuan Hao came to the Yonghe Palace.

“Greetings, Mother.”

Zhou Manyun leaned against the daybed lazily and looked at Xuanyuan Hao, “Why do you come to meet me so early in the morning?”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Hao frowned and said, “Someone broke into the secret chamber last night.”

“Who was that?” Zhou Manyun immediately sat up from the daybed.

Who was so competent to avoid so many men of sacrifice and enter Xuanyuan Hao’s study?

Xuanyuan Hao’s eyes slightly flickered, “It should be Xuanyuan Mo.”

Speaking of Xuanyuan Mo, Xuanyuan Hao had a shimmer of killing intent in his eyes.

Zhou Manyun narrowed her coquettish eyes fiercely and shouted harshly, “It was that wretch. You saw him with your own eyes?”

“No.” Xuanyuan Hao shook his head.

Zhou Manyun slightly frowned and said in confusion, “Then how do you know it was that wretch?”

Xuanyuan Hao stiffened and pondered for a while, “Her portrait was ruined.”

At the thought of that portrait, Xuanyuan Hao clenched his fists with blue veins standing out on the backs of his hands. A glitter of malice flashed across his eyes.

Zhou Manyun was slightly dazed to hear that and came to her senses. What Xuanyuan Hao talked about was Duanmu Xi’s portrait. In this case, it must be Xuanyuan Mo. No one but him would lay fingers on that portrait. She didn’t expect that Xuanyuan Mo would be so competent to break into the secret chamber unknowingly.

“Since the secret chamber has been found, it can’t be kept then. Seal it up.”

Xuanyuan Hao heard that and then said with a nod, “I will get it done.”

Upon returning to the Shengyu Palace, Xuanyuan Hao immediately had the secret chamber sealed up.

Xuanyuan Hao took out the white jade hairpin and slightly narrowed his eyes. He couldn’t wait any longer. He didn’t want to wait any longer.

He closed his eyes and triggered the parent worm to summon the Puppet Worm.

Lishang, who was far away, suddenly became red-eyed with his mind going blank. A voice that seemed to come from the distance was calling him.

Two hours later, Lishang returned to Prince Zhan’s mansion and directly went to Xuanyuan Mo’s study.

“Your Highness.”

Xuanyuan Mo looked at Lishang and slightly frowned, “You’re back so quickly. Have you found any clues?”

Hearing that, Lishang immediately answered with his eyes drooping, “I’ve looked into all the unavoidable paths from the Imperial City to the Wilderness Holy Region. No clues are found.”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo frowned even more deeply. They didn’t go to the Wilderness Holy Region. Where had they gone?

“Keep an eye on Consort De and Xuanyuan Hao. If anything unforeseen happens, come to report to me at once.”

“Yes.” Lishang instantly bowed himself out.

In Xuelan House, Duanmu Xi was sitting in the room, lost in thought.

Suddenly, an unknown thing came at her from outside the window.

Duanmu Xi was startled. Without thinking carefully, she fetched it directly. When she saw clearly the thing, Duanmu Xi widened her eyes and hurriedly ran out of the room. She turned around but saw nothing.

Duanmu Xi stood in the yard and shouted, “Somebody come here.”

“Your Highness.” Upon hearing her voice, Lishang walked out of the darkness and saluted respectfully.

Duanmu Xi was slightly taken aback to see Lishang. Why was it Lishang? Where was Yu Ying?

However, Duanmu Xi didn’t think much. She just looked at Lishang and asked, “Did you see anybody suspectable walking across?”

Lishang heard that and immediately looked down, “No, I didn’t see anybody suspectable walking across.”

Duanmu Xi slightly frowned, her dark purple eyes glistening with confusion. She clenched the thing in her hand more tightly.

Lishang raised his head and looked at Duanmu Xi, saying respectfully, “Your Highness, what happened? Do you need me to investigate anything?”

Duanmu Xi waved her hand and said, “No need. I’ll leave you be.”

“Yes.” Lishang instantly bowed himself out.

Duanmu Xi returned to her room and closed the door at once.

Yu Ying returned to Xuelan House out of breath and looked at Lishang, “No one asks for me outside the door. Are you mistaken?”

Lishang heard that and replied with his eyes drooping, “No one asks for you? Maybe I got it wrong. Since you’re back, I will leave then.”

Yu Ying patted Lishang’s shoulder, “You didn’t sleep last night. Go back and rest now.”

Hearing that, Lishang nodded and turned to get out of Xuelan House.

Duanmu Xi sat by the table and looked at the white jade hairpin in her hand. She couldn’t help shedding tears.

This was Third Master’s jade hairpin. They must send the jade hairpin to her with some ulterior motive.

Duanmu Xi was lost in thought. She observed the jade hairpin in her hand and saw a crack in it. With a twist, she broke the jade hairpin into two halves at once. A note was exposed.

Duanmu Xi slightly frowned, picked up the note and opened it gently.

After reading the note, Duanmu Xi shook all over with anger. Her knuckles of the hand that held the note slightly whitened.

Third Master’s feet and face had been ruined. Duanmu Xi couldn’t help crying.

Duanmu Xi clenched the jade hairpin in her hand tightly and thought, “Third Master, wait for me. I will rescue you for sure.”
