Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife

Chapter 891: Chapter 891: Are They Stuck Inside?

Shengjing City, Beiyuan Palace Bamboo Pavilion.

Qi Yun was teasing his little granddaughter. Looking at Yaoyao’s chubby and adorable face, he was utterly captivated.

At this moment, a Silver Armored Soldier came in, knelt on one knee, and said, "Master, we just received news that His Highness and the others are going to enter the Underground Imperial Mausoleum of the Xia Dynasty."

Qi Yun paused his hand around the little girl’s, immersed in silence for quite a while before saying, "If they want to go, let them go. That place... though fraught with peril, also holds opportunities. It depends on their fate."

The Silver Armored Soldier looked troubled, hesitating to speak.

"What, do you want to ask why I don’t stop you from going there?"

"Your subordinate wouldn’t dare!"

"Haha, what’s so daring about this? You all were brought out by me from there, surely you have some special feelings towards that place, don’t you?"

Qi Yun looked at them with a seemingly indifferent smile.

The Silver Armored Soldier bowed deeply, saying, "Your subordinate was sealed for hundreds of years. Thanks to your great kindness, I was able to see the light of day again. Concerning that place..."

As he spoke, his expression grew increasingly conflicted.

These feelings are complex; the place trapped them for years, invoking resentment. Yet, it’s also their birthplace, their homeland. How could they not feel anything?

Qi Yun looked at the Silver Armored Soldiers and sighed, "A mix of love and hate? Back then, I saw the same expression on you all and decided to take you out because I believe you’d be a loyal group of guards. It seems my judgment was correct, hahaha!"

"Thank you, Master, for your praise!"

The Silver Armored Soldier bowed deeply again.

"That mausoleum was built bit by bit by several dynasties; there are quite a number of treasures inside. Many entrances exist there, but each has different treasures. It’s about what they can obtain!"

Qi Yun talked at length, not worried at all about Li Qingmu and Long Yue encountering danger.

This made the Silver Armored Soldier uneasy: "Master, they are not as strong as you were back in the day..."

Master, please don’t just sigh. Think of a solution. If they can’t come out, everything’s over!

But Qi Yun just waved his hand: "Children must find their own blessings. Those two young ones should let themselves suffer a bit. No worries, it’ll be fine!"

I only explored one area inside, but I could tell the general picture overlook, and there shouldn’t be any great danger with his martial arts; he can handle it."

Given what Qi Yun said, the Silver Armored Soldier had nothing more to say and had to retreat.

"Big bear, time to eat, come quickly for the meal I just prepared!"

Rong Si’s crisp and delightful voice came from outside. Qi Yun smiled with eyes full of love, rubbing his precious granddaughter’s little head: "Alright, I’ll come right away, haha!"

...

Liuzhou City, Xuan Xu, as the little leader among the Silver Armored Soldiers, naturally came out this time to protect Li Qingmu and his wife.

These two are the master’s treasures. Nothing must happen to them.

This time, His Highness wants to explore that mausoleum, and though he could stop them, firstly, he himself came from that mausoleum, with complicated feelings of both love and hate.

Also, before departing, the Master said that if the couple wanted to adventure, just let them go.

With the Master’s words, he couldn’t imprudently stop them and risk a scolding from him later.

Besides, His Highness and his wife are quite skilled in martial arts; solving some difficulties shouldn’t be an issue.

Therefore, he didn’t follow them; he stayed here to receive messages from Shengjing City.

However, as the sky gradually darkened, they still hadn’t returned, making Xuan Xu begin to worry.

Given their character, if they didn’t find any useful clues, they would surely come back, also to signal their safety.

But, they hadn’t returned.

Watching the sky grow darker, Xuan Xu couldn’t sit still and ran towards the southern part of the city.

To save time, he rode the fastest horse, arriving swiftly at Jiang Wen’s house entrance.

Rather than knocking, he barged right in.

Sensing briefly, he sought out Jiang Wen and Ru’er.

These two were gathered in a small room, shivering, always fearing poisonous bugs might fly by.

"Husband, I’m scared. I don’t want to stay here anymore. Let’s leave, shall we?"

"No, we came with several people, so we must return together."

Jiang Wen was quite admirable in this regard.

"But husband, I keep worrying that those bats might come out; it was terrifying!"

At this point, Ru’er continued trembling.

Especially recalling past experiences, she felt genuine fear and terror.

"Don’t worry; I’m here. Just don’t be afraid!"

"But..."

"Who’s there?"

During their discussion about whether to stay or go, a figure flashed by. Jiang Wen instinctively shouted, his heart skipped a beat, feeling chills.

Could it be some monster or ghost has appeared?

This thought surfaced in his mind and wouldn’t fade away.

"It’s me, don’t be afraid! I’m the guard by the Prince and Princess Consort’s side, here to ensure their safety. Where are the Prince and Princess Consort? Where have they gone?"

Xuan Xu had just searched around the mansion but hadn’t found Li Qingmu and his wife.

These two living people couldn’t possibly disappear.

"They... they insisted on checking out the entrance below to see what’s there and have already gone down."

For some reason, Xuan Xu’s face twitched in reaction; gone down? So soon?

"Do you know which entrance they went down from?"

Jiang Wen thought for a moment and replied, likely from the West Wing entrance, as they had been tinkering there previously, unknown to anyone.

Xuan Xu rubbed his temples in frustration: "The Master has instructed me to watch the Prince, yet he’s hard to watch, always running around and went to their mausoleum again."

"Yes, the Prince loves wandering. But whenever he runs, it’s with a purpose; this time, mainly to find the Crown Prince. Right now, it’s convenient, but when did His Highness go?"

"They went in the morning, and it’s already been a day with the sun nearly set."

Ru’er stated.

Instantly, Xuan Xu’s face turned grave.

Gone for a day, yet no sign of emerging?

Xuan Xu realized things might have taken a turn for the worse; the couple isn’t foolish. They would return in darkness, indicating something’s amiss!

No, he must rescue them!

If they really encountered issues, the Master might shred them in fury!

Xuan Xu hurried towards the West Wing.

"Hey, young master, the West Wing is sealed. What..."

Ru’er and Jiang Wen followed Xuan Xu to the West Wing, discovering it’s already open with someone previously coming out?

"This... it used to be sealed, right? The Prince might’ve left already?"

If they’d left, everything would be fine.

However, if they’d left, they’d return to the inn and not linger outside that long.

"I fear... something happened!"

Xuan Xu worriedly commented.
