“Your Majesty! Does Your Majesty hear our voice?”
Cui Kong led an army with Xiao Qi to walk down the river around the cliff the next day. They began to comb the area around the cottage, then into the dense forest and cliffs that were likely the last location their king was located. There, there are traces of a fierce fight.
Cui Kong descends to the lower regions, down the great rivers. Many times he slapped himself for being late.
At that time, Cui Kong was indeed being ordered to monitor the situation in the imperial city so that he did not participate in the search for Physician Shen. Upon hearing the news that King Changle had disappeared, he immediately panicked and rushed to lead the troops to look for him.
“Commander Cui! Empress Princess Changle also disappeared!” report one of the guards.
He grew even more panicked when reports said that the Empress Princess had also disappeared. His guess was immediately true that his daughter's employer must have followed the ambush and disappeared with her king. The task is getting heavier because there are two responsibilities that it carries.
“Your Majesty! Her Royal Highness the Princess!” shouted again.
“Switch back river area!” exclaimed Xiao Qi.
Unexpectedly, the hut turned out to be just bait to lure King Changle. Xiao Qi had been searching all night, but there had been no clue where King Changle and his Empress Princess were.
The search expanded to the entire slope area of Changsan Mountain. Right now, it was extremely important for them to rediscover Baili Qingchen and Qingyi.
Cui Kong moved further and further into the lush forest. The leaves and branches that cover the river area are passed and checked with soil. In the end, he found a large object stuck on top of a tree. It was the parachute that Qingyi used yesterday. Cui Kong instantly recognized that the strange object belonged to Princess Consort Changle.
“Quick! They might be around here!” his orders to the guards.
From a distance, it appeared a woman dressed as a man in a faint shadow, walking like a daze. His mouth was muttering, not knowing what. What was clear, Cui Kong recognized the figure and immediately ran up to him. His look was so messy and his left arm was tied to a cloth.
“Your Highness Princess!”
Qingyi flinching. His gaze was still empty and dazed.
“Evenings are just a dream. Let's just say I went crazy for being too tired and not consciously doing it,” his murmur continued to sound. Forehead Cui Kong wrinkled.
“Your Highness Princess?” asked Cui Kong in a slightly louder tone than before.
“Ah? You summoned? You're who? I'm who?”
“I Cui Kong, and Her Royal Highness is Princess Empress.”
“Oh, you're a bodyguard, yes?”
“Your Highness Princess, where is Her Highness Changle?”
“Yang Mulia Changle who?”
Cui Kong's forehead is getting wrinkled. Is Empress Changle's brain in trouble?
“King Changle, husband of Her Royal Highness the Princess,” said Cui Kong, hoping Qingyi would come to her senses soon.
“Oh. I don't know. Ah, there's a man, you hurry up and help him. Maybe he's the one you're looking for.”
Qingyi then pointed to the cave that was used as a resting place last night. There, Baili Qingchen was still half-lying in a closed-eye condition.
“Your Majesty! I finally found you!”
Cui Kong jumped into the cave and immediately woke up Baili Qingchen. Surprised by the loud screams and shocks on his body, he opened his eyes. His head was a bit dizzy, his whole body felt sore. Baili Qingchen tried to gather awareness to recognize the person in front of her.
“Cui Kong?” ask Baili Qingchen.
“Your Majesty, I don't think His Majesty survived. I'm so worried!”
“Omong empty! Where is Princess Empress?”
Cui Kong then pointed at Qingyi's position, but his expression was very awkward and confused. “There. But, his brain may be a little problematic,” said Cui Kong.
“Only! He's still sane!”
Baili Qingchen tidied up her already tattered and dirty clothes. He was pulled out of the cave. The pain from the wound on his chest felt until it made him stop for a while, stirring for a while and then walking back. In front of him, Qingyi was still standing facing the street, muttering the same thing as the words earlier.
Baili Qingchen patted his wife's shoulder slowly, making the girl turn around and look at him. Empty, absentminded. Baili Qingchen did not know because Qingyi looked terrible like this. It was like seeing a madman who had just recovered from his madness, or a normal person who had just shown symptoms of his insanity.
“You're King Changle? You're my husband?” ask Qingyi.
His stupid face looks. Baili Qingchen nodded.
“Oh. Last night was just a dream, I was too tired and hallucinating.”
Last night? Baili Qingchen remembered last night. The long night chat that took place last night had led them to a moment that could not be expressed with words.
Qingyi was not really being stupid. He was trying to control himself and doctrinated that last night was just a dream. He and Baili Qingchen were both injured, their minds were muddled until some unwanted situation might occur.
When he woke up and found himself in the arms of Baili Qingchen, Qingyi's head was like being hit by a hard object until his senses did not work. He pinched himself and tried to forget about last night's events. He considered it a dream, and it should not be discussed anymore.
“Bring Princess Empress in advance,” says Baili Qingchen.
“But, Your Highness, you are seriously injured!”
“Didn't you see him like a dazed man? His condition is worse than mine!”
The moment Qingyi heard that, she directly kicked Baili Qingchen's leg. He was still sane, just now it was just a reaction so that he could forget about the incident.
Qingyi's kick hit Baili Qingchen's shin bone, and it felt very painful. Cui Kong had to hold Baili Qingchen's hand so that the man would not fall for losing his balance.
From a distance, Xiao Qi ran along with a few bodyguards. When he arrived, he immediately kneeled down to beg for mercy from being careless and did not take good care of Baili Qingchen. He also asked to be punished for being stupid and consumed by the trap of Physician Shen. Baili Qingchen said calmly and told him to stand up.
“Your Majesty, Physician Shen was found hanging above the tree,” Xiao Qi said after he stood up properly.
“Suicide?” ask Baili Qingchen. Xiao Qi shook his head.
“More precisely, she is stuck in a rope basket.”
Qingyi's smile rose and moments later her laughter exploded. It surprised everyone. They thought the Empress Princess had already lost her mind, but Baili Qingchen actually kissed something else. His conscience says that his wife must have acted before helping him yesterday. Otherwise, he might not have laughed out of the blue.
“My workforce has been caught?” ask Qingyi.
Without waiting for a response, he immediately ran over, rushing towards where Physician Shen was trapped. Behind him, Baili Qingchen and Cui Kong chased after, trying to catch up with him.
“What makes Her Royal Highness the Princess so excited?” Xiao Qi asked in surprise.
Cui Kong gave him an answer with a small bump on Xiao Qi's shoulder, hoping that the stupidity of the bodyguard's head could be lost.
In the forest area, Physician Shen who was hunted by the empire was trapped inside the woven fabric rope. He was hanging in the air, under a tall tree. That person moved to break away, but in vain because his strength was barely left. Qingyi laughed out loud as she saw the person she hunted enter the trap.
“You think you're the only one who can trap people?”
The bodyguard troops and Xiao Qi instantly realized that this was all a trap of Princess Empress Changle. The woman deliberately set up a trap to trap Physician Shen. He seemed to have found out that Physician Shen had a strong backing that would save his life.
Qingyi was not a person who thought skeptically. A person like Physician Shen, who could hide well and escape easily would naturally have an unusual supporting background.
Her master in the palace must have arranged a plan for her. Therefore, Qingyi set a trap and messed up the planned plan. It was unexpected that his person was trapped so easily.
The guards then lowered Physician Shen and were immediately tightly controlled. His legs that were hit yesterday by the sword Baili Qingchen had been bandaged with white gauze. Although the road is limping, Qingyi admits that Physician Shen has strong stamina. He had lost a lot of blood, yet was still able to stand.
“Say! Where's the recipe?” todong Qingy.
The mouth of the Physician Shen was tightly locked. Baili Qingchen helped to interrogate, but instead a glee she received. Cui Kong directly pointed the sword at his neck because Physician Shen had dared to act brash and disrespectful by spitting at King Changle. Qingyi took out an umeboshi fruit from under her clothes, then stuffed the mouth of Physician Shen with the fruit.
“This mouth of yours should be sewn and your tongue cut!”
Physician Shen's eyes widened as the taste of the fruit that was coagulated into his mouth was extremely sour. It was like gargling with vinegar. Qingyi looked at him sharply, then had the bodyguards bring Physician Shen to the imperial city to crack down. Xiao Qi led the escort directly.
“Please clothes!” qingyi's Decree to Cui Kong.
“Ah?”
“See you take off your clothes!”
Cui Kong hesitated, he looked at Baili Qingchen for help. Unfortunately, his master had no intention of helping him. He instead told her to follow Qingyi's orders.
Cui Kong was forced to take off his top clothes, then give them to Qingyi. After which, Qingyi thrust the clothes over to Baili Qingchen.
“Wear it and come back with dignity! A King's clothes shouldn't be dirtyed by a villain like that damn healer!”
Baili Qingchen's smile came up. His hand reached out to receive the clothes, then he took off his upper clothes and replaced them with Cui Kong clothes. Now it looks much better. Qingyi gave a small nod, then turned around and walked away.
“Your Highness the Princess, then what about me? Do I have to go back half-naked like this?” yell Cui Kong. From a distance, Qingyi answered him with a shout that was no less loud.
“Think your own way!”
Cui Kong frowned.
“Your Majesty, look! Her Highness the Princess is so cruel!”
Baili Qingchen simply smiled, then rushed after Qingyi.
