Chapter 617 “Beating Qing Xue (4)”
“Yes, Queen.” The guard bows his heads without hiding the anxiety in those eyes, thus causing everyone to miss that peculiar light which should’ve been a huge giveaway.
……
Panicking straight from her heart, the woman drops everything and ran for the city, completely forgetting the fact that she’s supposed to be disposing of a certain snake right now.
Bai Xiachen was Bai Yan’s life, therefore its no wonder her reaction would be so devastatingly huge.
Alone again after being left in the background, a man in navy blue appears in front of Qing Xue. “Why are you doing this? I warned you before, the queen is not an average person like you think. If you rush in carelessly then you are bound to be in danger. I saved this ti, but what about the next? Do you expect to be so fortunate every ti?”
Pursing those lips in resentnt, Qing Xue eventually manages to stand up despite the faint shake lingering inside: “What thod did you use to save earlier?”
“Over the years I’m made so puppets…. They’ve been expended in order to save you.”
Looking at the man’s frustrated face, Qing Xue not only didn’t feel remorseful for her rash action, she only saw it as an opportunity. “Then does that an you also have so puppets in the palace?”
“I have no puppet in the palace. The king is a watchful man. If I dare insert my eyes into there, he would surely discover them.” Smiling wryly, “It’s just that I’ve managed to insert my puppets into the various clans to keep track of the outside world.”
There were two reasons for this: one being he’s always bored by being confined to the locations directed by others, the second he wanted companionship and news from the outside. Now imagine how painful it must be for this man to lose all that he’s built up over the decades.
“I can’t wait any longer,” the snake demoness tightly clenched her fist, showing a glint of coldness in her eyes. “When will you help ? If you don’t move soon then I will continue to find the queen. Do you want to see dead? If so then I will do it and show you!”
The man’s heart shuddered at the last part. Making a bitter face, he sighs: “Fine, I will help you in the coming days….”
This was already the last chance.
If he doesn’t move, the king would surely return.
By then, Qing Xue wouldn’t be able to escape no matter the efforts he pulls.
……
Within the bustling market of the capital city, Bai Yan hurriedly followed the guard to the location of her son and the princess. To the woman’s surprise, the scene to welco her arrival didn’t exactly pan out in the way she imagined. Rather than her loved ones being in danger, there’s only a pile of thugs lying on the floor moaning and groaning in pain and very close to death.
“Sister in law?”
Di Xiao Wan only needed a glance to notice the woman’s arrival. Imdiately making a delighted face, the princess’s mood should’ve been great, that was until she noticed Dragony tagging along by holding Bai Yan’s hand.
“Where have you been Dragony? and Xiachen have been looking all over for you!”
Gnawing at her nails over the question, the little missy puts on a guilty face: “I wanted to follow the queen, that’s why I went to find her.”
Normally Di Xiao Wan would be outraged at that sort of explanation, but against that innocent and naive face, she couldn’t even get mad and bear to bla her.
“Xiachen!” Running over fast at the sight of her son, Bai Yan’s hand remains shaky despite everything being okay. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry… I shouldn’t have left you alone. I’m so happy that you’re fine.”
She almost lost her son once before, that’s why she’s getting so emotion. The experience was simply too much for this mother the first ti around.
“Mother don’t cry, I am fine.” Moving that hand to help wipe so of those tears, Bai Xiachen sensibly sooths the crying Bai Yan with his bright smile: “When Father is not around, I am the only male in the house, that’s why I need to protect Mother and Auntie. There’s no need to worry about .”
