Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Never See You Again Seeing Leng Yu Yan remain silent, Baili Zhengrong said again, “Now that Baili Wenyi is in Tiancheng, the best way for the Commandery Princess to leave Tiancheng is to head to Nandian. Find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the Crown Prince surely won’t be able to find you.” Miao Zhu was also shocked by Xiaoshan’s identity but faced with the current situation, the only way out was to go to Nandian with Xiaoshan. Thinking of this, she said, “Commandery Princess, let’s go to Nandian. Nandian’s scenery is exquisite, we can choose a quiet mountain to settle down. When the time comes, we can also get in touch with Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Even if Baili Wenyi returns to Nandian, considering its vastness, she won’t be able to find us. Besides, Baili Wenyi is getting married to the Crown Prince, by the time she comes back, it’ll be years later. If she comes back to Nandian with the Crown Prince, we can just head back to Tiancheng.” For the first time, Baili Zhengrong felt that Miao Zhu’s logic was clear and gave her a thumbs-up, “Sister Miao Zhu speaks wisely.” Miao Zhu waved her hands frantically, “No, please don’t call me ‘sister’.” She hid behind Leng Yu Yan and said to Baili Zhengrong, “You are a Prince, of noble status.” After pondering for a moment, Leng Yu Yan nodded in agreement. As for Xiaoshan hiding his identity, for one, he grew up in Tiancheng and only later found out about his identity; secondly, for years there had been people from Nandian coming to Tiancheng to assassinate him, so hiding his identity was also for safety. With these thoughts, she let go of her concerns. Baili Zhengrong happily said, “Good, we’ll rest a bit and then depart!” With that said, he glanced around. The men dressed in blue outfits quickly left to prepare. Crossing the corridor, Lv Yong whispered, “Brother, are we about to have a lady master?” Lv Zhong glanced at him and said in a low voice, “Why are you thinking so much? The Commandery Princess is our master’s life-saving benefactor. It’s only right in both sentiment and principle for our master to repay her kindness like a spring returning water.” “I think the best way would be to offer himself in marriage.” Lv Yong murmured softly, “Although the Commandery Princess wears a Human Skin Mask, we’ve seen her from a distance before, such a Heavenly Immortal-like Commandery Princess, apart from her, there’s no one else in the world who is worthy of our master.” “Why do you have such a loose tongue? Have you forgotten the Commandery Princess’s identity?” Lv Zhong slapped him on the back. Lv Yong lowered his eyes again and said, “I don’t care, once we leave Tiancheng and go to Nandian, then we become Nandian people. As long as we are Nandian people, then she will be our master’s person.” Hearing this, the men beside them all laughed, many nodding in agreement. In the room, Baili Zhengrong told Leng Yu Yan and Miao Zhu to rest well, then he himself left the room and caught up with the footsteps of the Shadow Guards. “Along the way to Nandian, and especially when we arrive, remember to keep the Commandery Princess’s identity a secret!” He looked merely like a youth, but his words already possessed a certain gravitas. The Shadow Guards turned and responded solemnly with agreement. Had their master, staying too long in Tiancheng’s Prince Zhenbei Mansion and the Eastern Palace, learned such ruthless methods? At night, Leng Yu Yan and Miao Zhu followed Baili Zhengrong’s men and headed to Nandian. To evade the pursuit of the Nandian Concubine and to secretly search for their master, the Blue Shadow Guards were well-researched in the more remote areas of Tiancheng. Having grown up hidden in the wilderness of Tiancheng, Baili Zhengrong led everyone smoothly past various city gates and checkpoints. At critical junctures where passing through city gates was unavoidable, they even had tunnels to use. This shocked Leng Yu Yan. Nandian people had actually dug tunnels within Tiancheng Territory. However, she couldn’t worry about that for now. The pressing matter was to leave Tiancheng as quickly as possible. At the main seat in the main hall sat a person, who was Ye Yiheng. He leisurely adjusted his sleeves, his voice nearly devoid of emotion, “Where is she?” He didn’t even bother to lift his eyelids as he spoke. Not far in front of him, Chun Liu, Xia Tao, Qiubo, and Dong Yan were lined up in a row, kneeling. Behind them, standing respectively were Mo Chen, Ruofeng, Liu Yun, and Yin Shuang. Chun Liu said, “We don’t know where the Pavilion Master is, and even if we did, we wouldn’t say a word.” Ye Yiheng spoke coldly, “Start by cutting their Achilles tendons.” Song Guo hurried forward, “Your Highness, they are all the Crown Princess Consort’s people. If you cut their Achilles tendons, they won’t be able to walk. If the Crown Princess Consort finds out, who knows how heartbroken she’ll be?” Ye Yiheng lazily opened his eyes, “I told her not to leave my side. Since she didn’t listen, then I’ll have to start with the people by her side.” “Do it,” he ordered coldly. Unexpectedly, Mo Chen, Ruofeng, Liu Yun, and Yin Shuang knelt down together and pleaded, “Please retract your order, Your Highness!” Just then, An Shiqi presented a booklet summarizing news from all over Quan Tiansheng. Ye Yiheng took the booklet, quickly skimmed it, and then snapped it shut, his expression grave. Each day, he received news, all of which reported that Leng Yu Yan’s whereabouts couldn’t be found. Nor had he found her at Linqing Pavilion. Since Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter were all there, it meant she intended to use them to buy time. If she wanted to buy time, it indicated she would flee far from the capital city. Where could she be going? Now that she had fled, she had only Miao Zhu and Xiaoshan by her side. Miao Zhu, whose martial arts skills were nonexistent, was nonetheless adept at taking care of her daily needs. Moreover, Miao Zhu had been with her since childhood and had a clean background. Newest update provıded by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵 As for Xiaoshan, even though he was a year younger than her, he was still a man. Thinking of this point filled Ye Yiheng with rage. He stood up, his voice brimming with a severe chill, “Immediately investigate Xiaoshan. I want to know about his ancestry up to the eighteenth generation!” “Yes, Your Highness!” the Hidden Guards obediently accepted the command and made a salute. Before long, Mo Chen, Ruofeng, Liu Yun, and Yin Shuang left Linqing Pavilion swiftly with the other Hidden Guards. Chun Liu, Xia Tao, Qiubo, and Dong Yan simultaneously slumped to the ground where they knelt. The Crown Prince had just ordered their Achilles tendons be cut, and his expression did not seem feigned; had Song Guo, Mo Chen, and others not intervened, they would have been crippled by now. Once the Achilles tendons were cut, only the Pavilion Master could heal them. Now that the Pavilion Master was not here… It would be best for the Pavilion Master to escape far away! If the Pavilion Master were to be captured by such a cold-hearted Crown Prince, they dared not even imagine the consequences. Over half a month had passed, and Baili Zhengrong escorted Leng Yu Yan into the territory of Nandian. Finally free from the days of fear and hiding from the city gates and checkpoints, Leng Yu Yan tore off the Human Skin Mask she had been wearing and let out a long sigh. Seeing this, Baili Zhengrong and Miao Zhu also removed the Human Skin Masks from their faces. The gaze of the Blue Shadow Guards automatically bypassed Miao Zhu to focus on Leng Yu Yan and their Master. Their Master removed the headscarf, revealing a head of smooth white hair. Standing next to the Commandery Princess , the two of them were very pleasing to the eye. Well-matched in looks, that was them. Only their Master’s white hair seemed somewhat out of place. Leng Yu Yan looked at the lush mountains and, with a hand to her mouth like a megaphone, shouted toward Tiansheng Territory, “Goodbye, and never again!” Miao Zhu knew that their Commandery Princess wasn’t really bidding farewell to Tiancheng, because they would someday return to Tiancheng. She was saying goodbye to the Crown Prince. At that moment, someone ran up the mountain desperately, shouting to Baili Zhengrong, “Master, trouble! The Emperor is critically ill. He fears the Imperial Concubine will usurp power, and has urgently ordered the Master back to the palace to succeed the throne!”
