After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Chapter 266: What do you say about Night 3?

Just as Qi Wuyou was looking around, a familiar voice came from a distance: "Master, Miss, you are back?"

Qi Wuyou turned his head suddenly and his eyes fell on the woman standing at the door.

The person who came was He Xiang, her face was filled with joy and tears were sparkling in her eyes.

Qi Wuyou's heart was shocked and he reacted almost immediately.

She wondered why He Xiang never went back, and it turned out that she came here early.

But come to think of it, He Xiang clearly came here with them, so if she wanted to leave early, she would really need a reasonable excuse.

After all, how could she be allowed to enter the city earlier than others without a valid reason?

There must be some unknown secrets and plans involved.

As for the most reasonable explanation, it is obvious that Xuan Yelan had already prepared an excuse, which is to supervise the task of renovating the old house.

In this way, He Xiang will have enough time to complete the tasks assigned by Xuan Yelan without arousing suspicion and speculation from others.

Qi Wuyou rolled his eyes at Xuan Yelan, showing no intention of paying any attention to him. He even bumped into him on purpose, then walked into the yard without looking back.

Xuan Yelan shook his head helplessly, but still hurriedly chased after him.

After Qi Wuyou walked into the yard, he walked straight into the house, completely ignoring Xuan Yelan who was following him.

Xuan Yelan felt anxious seeing Qi Wuyou ignoring her like this.

So he walked quickly to Qi Wuyou and tried to explain to her: "An An, listen to me first. This matter is not what you think. I can explain it to you clearly."

When Qi Wuyou heard this, he suddenly stopped, turned around and glared at Xuan Yelan.

She said with a somewhat sarcastic tone: "Explanation? What does Third Uncle have to explain to a junior like me? You adults have your own reasons for everything you do. You don't need to explain anything to children like us!"

Xuan Yelan was a little overwhelmed by Qi Wuyou's sudden reaction, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Oh no, it seems he is really angry this time."

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is indeed all your fault. You clearly promised her before that you would not hide anything from her anymore.

But there are still many things I haven't told her, so it's reasonable for her to complain about me now.

Xuan Yelan sighed helplessly and decided to confess: "Things are not what you think. I did want Ye San to get rid of Xuan Yemin first, but I failed."

Xuan Yelan's original intention was just to let Ye San go to Prince Yu's Mansion to find out the truth, but he didn't expect that Ye San would decide to assassinate him on his own.

However, this unexpected assassination made Xuan Yelan realize that there was such a powerful master hiding beside his good brother.

If it weren't for Ye San's actions, Xuan Yelan might never have discovered this fact.

Although Xuan Yelan trusted Ye San very much, he still hadn't received any news after such a long time.

According to common sense, if Xuan Yemin had managed to escape, he should have reacted or taken retaliatory actions.

Even if we don't know who the assassin is, Tongzhou shouldn't be so quiet.

But there is no movement now, which can only mean that Xuan Yemin was seriously injured and he is probably still unconscious.

After hearing this, Qi Wuyou's anger subsided a little, but he was still more confused and puzzled: "Will Ye San fail?"

This is really unbelievable. After all, Ye San's strength is obvious to all, and such a task should be a piece of cake for her.

Xuan Yelan gently stroked her hair, shook his head, and said softly: "She was about to succeed, but she was discovered. She had no choice but to come back."

"Who?" Qi Wuyou asked immediately, with an anxious tone.

Xuan Yelan sighed and replied, "A man wearing a black cloak and a mask. Ye San didn't see his face, but she knew that he had unfathomable martial arts skills. She fought him for a few moves but didn't get the chance, so she returned directly."

Qi Wuyou frowned, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. Could it be that the aura that Lianxiang felt before was from this person?

However, since he was close to Xuan Yemin, if he had found them, he could have captured and killed them. Why didn't he do it?

"What did Ye San say?" Qi Wuyou asked. She needed more information to solve the mystery.

Xuan Yelan thought for a moment, sorted out her thoughts, and then said, "She said that at first she was indeed hiding in the dark, quietly listening to the conversation between the black-clothed man named Mangshan and Xuan Yemin."

Qi Wuyou nodded to show his understanding.

Xuan Yelan continued, “However, when Ye San and Xuan Yemin started fighting, Ye San sensed that Mangshan was not far away, but he did not stop him.”

"On the contrary, when Ye San was preparing to finish off Xuan Yemin, Mangshan returned just in time."

Xuan Yelan frowned, "It's like Mangshan doesn't care if anyone wants to kill Xuan Yemin or not, he just doesn't want Xuan Yemin to die."

Qi Wuyou was also confused by these words. She frowned and asked in confusion: "What does this mean? I don't quite understand."

Xuan Yelan sighed, a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes, and he shook his head and said: "This Mangshan doesn't seem to be on the same page with Xuan Yemin."

Qi Wuyou thought for a moment and said, "So is this person an enemy or a friend?"

Xuan Yelan shrugged helplessly, "It's not clear yet. However, we must now investigate the matter of the 'mine'. This is an important clue that Ye San learned from the conversation between Xuan Yemin and Mangshan."

Xuan Yelan paused for a moment, then continued, "Perhaps through this incident, we can verify something."

Qi Wuyou turned around and signaled him to continue with his eyes.

Xuan Yelan couldn't help laughing when he saw Qi Wuyou's cute appearance. He reached out and gently rubbed Qi Wuyou's head.

He said in a gentle tone, "Xuan Yemin asked Mangshan to take care of the mine, but Mangshan has been staying in Prince Yu's Mansion these days and has not come out."

After hearing this, Qi Wuyou's eyes lit up, as if she understood something. She nodded, "Oh, so that's how it is!"

Xuan Yelan looked at Qi Wuyou's expression of sudden enlightenment and couldn't help but feel a little amused.

He continued, "Therefore, I plan to send someone to investigate the mine, but since there are many mountains in Tongzhou, it is difficult to determine which mountain it is based on the word 'mine' alone."

Qi Wuyou understood immediately and nodded repeatedly, "So that's how it is. You hope to test Mangshan's identity and purpose through investigating the mine."

Xuan Yelan nodded in agreement. "That's exactly what I mean. By investigating the mine, we can find out what Mangshan's intentions are. If my guess is correct, Mangshan will most likely take us to the mine himself."
