Chapter 209 Missing
After leaving, Yu Guiwan did not return to the house, but went to Xie Zhiyi's house instead.
"Dong dong dong."
Yu Guiwan waited at the door for a long time but no one came out to open it. Just as she was about to open the door, the voice of Xie Zhiyi's maid rang out from inside the house, "Excuse me, who is this? My princess hasn't gotten up yet."
Then, there was the sound of footsteps.
Then, the door of the house was opened, and the maid stood in front of Yu Guiwan and said with a smile: "Greetings, Princess Chen. My princess is still asleep. What can I do for you?"
"Hasn't he woken up yet?"
Yu Guiwan narrowed his eyes and said suspiciously.
The maid leaned forward slightly and continued, "Yes, the princess hasn't had a good rest these days. She just arrived in Zhao State a few days ago and didn't get enough rest at night, so she got up a little late."
After saying that, the maid clenched her fists, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.
"is it?"
She asked again.
"Yes, yes." The maid felt even more guilty after being asked by Yu Guiwan, and she didn't dare to look up to meet Yu Guiwan's eyes.
Yu Guiwan nodded and said, "Then I'll come back later." After that, Yu Guiwan turned around and made a fake move. The maid felt relieved when she saw Yu Guiwan turn around.
But unexpectedly, Yu Guiwan suddenly turned around and passed by.
Yu Guiwan unexpectedly pushed the door open and walked into the house. The maid tried to stop Yu Guiwan but it was too late, "Princess, Princess, you can't go in."
The maid followed behind her and stopped her. Yu Guiwan walked in with big strides and stopped in front of the bed.
Looking at the ball curled up on the bed, she narrowed her eyes.
Yu Guiwan looked at the maid who was chasing after her and asked, "Aren't you going to tell the truth?"
The maid lowered her head and quickly walked to the bedside, "Princess, the princess is still resting. I don't know what you are talking about." After saying that, the maid knelt on the ground and looked at her with a confused expression.
Yu Guiwan simply ignored the maid's words and pulled back the quilt.
The person on the bed shrank back and met Yu Guiwan's eyes. She immediately sat up from the bed, hurriedly got off the bed, and knelt on the ground.
"Princess, please spare me! Princess, please spare me."
The person on the bed was another maid of Xie Zhiyi.
Yu Guiwan closed her eyes and asked with gritted teeth, "Where is Princess Yong'an? When did she go out?" She had clearly not come back for just one night, and Xie Zhiyi had slipped away.
The two maids knelt on the ground and said hurriedly: "The princess went out before dawn. It was the princess who forced us to do this. Please spare our lives, Princess." The two people knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
She waved her hand, "Get up."
At this moment, she had no mood to punish him. The most important thing was to find Xie Zhiyi first.
Yu Guiwan immediately ordered, "Go and find General Nangong and Lord Ji." Yu Guiwan pinched her brows. She knew that Xie Zhiyi would not stay in the house so easily, but she didn't expect that she would actually dare to go out alone.
Nangong Yi and Ji Mingchuan came over and heard about this. They stood up in shock, "What?!"
"Xie Zhiyi, you are really great." Nangong Yi clenched his fists. He just slipped away without paying attention to her for one night. When she came back, he would punish her!
"Send someone out immediately to retrieve the princess."
After hearing this, Ji Mingchuan remained calm. "By the way, we have to do it quietly. We can't let anyone find out that we are looking for Princess Yong'an." Ji Mingchuan considered everything very carefully.
Nangong Yi also nodded and said, "Yes, I will tell someone to go out right away. Don't alarm other people." Nangong Yi also understood Ji Mingchuan's concerns. At this time, he must not let the people behind him know that Xie Zhiyi was missing.
They had been assassinated on the way to Zhao State. Their target was Princess Yong'an. Now she dared to slip away. She was really risking her life.
"It has to be as soon as possible. Last night, the King of Zhao agreed to postpone the wedding. I believe he will send someone to the post station to announce the decree today. Even if you are sick, the palace will definitely send someone to your bedside to ask after you."
"If the princess wasn't here at this time, I'm afraid King Zhao would suspect we had ulterior motives."
"By then, there is a high probability that this cooperation will have problems."
Ji Mingchuan analyzed the interests involved very clearly, and now he must bring the person back to the post station as soon as possible.
Yu Guiwan hadn't spoken a word until she suddenly remembered a place. She stood up and said, "I'm going out for a while."
"I will go with you."
Nangong Yi also stood up and spoke quickly.
Seeing Nangong Yi's reaction, Ji Mingchuan looked away and said with concern: "Then you should go early and come back early."
Yu Guiwan first looked at Nangong Yi and said, "No need. It would be too conspicuous if too many people went out. I alone is enough." After that, she nodded to Ji Mingchuan and immediately went out.
After Yu Guiwan left the post station, he immediately headed in one direction.
Restaurant.
Xie Zhiyi suffered a loss there last time, and he will definitely go there again this time.
Yu Guiwan walked into the restaurant. The shopkeeper immediately looked away when he saw her. Yu Guiwan was immediately sure that Xie Zhiyi must be there. She walked up to him and asked, "Have you seen the girl who came with me that day?"
The shopkeeper quickly shook his head and said, "Miss, you are joking. I have never seen it."
Yu Guiwan didn't say anything. She knew Xie Zhiyi must be there. She immediately turned around and walked upstairs. The shopkeeper hurried out of the counter and tried to stop Yu Guiwan, "Dear guest, the person you are talking about is really not here."
But the shopkeeper couldn't stop Yu Guiwan.
Until this time.
Suddenly a guard came out and said, "Miss, our young master wants to see you." Yu Guiwan looked at the guard in front of her and once again noticed the token hanging around his waist.
White House.
Yu Guiwan turned to look at the shopkeeper and said, "Can you let me in now?"
The shopkeeper's attitude changed immediately, and he said with a smile, "Please come in, distinguished guest." He made a gesture, and Yu Guiwan followed the guards up to the second floor.
When the guard pushed open the door of the private room, she saw Xie Zhiyi lying on the table and rushed in immediately. "What did you do to her!" Yu Guiwan said sternly.
The man standing in front of the window turned around, looked at Yu Guiwan's anxious expression, and said softly: "Don't worry, she just drank too much and fell asleep."
Hearing this, Yu Guiwan immediately helped Xie Zhiyi up and checked on her. He felt relieved only after finding that she had indeed drunk too much and fallen asleep.
"Mr. Bai, what do you want to do?"
Yu Guiwan immediately looked up and questioned, "Do you want to ruin the cooperation between Zhao and Xia?" A cold chill flashed in his eyes.
Bai Hua Xusheng laughed softly when he heard this question.
He walked towards Yu Guiwan and glanced at the drunk Xie Zhiyi, "He just got along well with Princess Yong'an."
