The butler pondered and stroked his chin, "My lord, I have indeed gained quite a bit from this. Those black-clad individuals who came to bloodily attack the Right Prime Minister's Residence, could they have been instructed by someone else? And does that person have informants close to the Emperor?"
"Jiang, you have a point. However, this matter was whispered directly into Jiang Tingyu's ear by the Emperor himself. If news of this leaked out, it would only mean that the Puppet Master is not simple at all!"
Upon hearing this, the butler gasped in shock, "How could it be like this? Since the Emperor spoke to you so confidentially about this matter, even if there are many eyes and ears around him, the other party should not be able to know about it! You must have kept it secret!"
Jiang Tingyu looked at the faint red glow appearing in the east and sighed, "The sun will rise soon! Jiang, based on your reasoning, there is only one possibility: this person is also searching for the whereabouts of the Imperial Jade Seal."
After Jiang Tingyu's words, the atmosphere around them became tense, and the butler's brow furrowed even more: "If that's the case, isn't your situation very dangerous? The Imperial Jade Seal is made from Nuwa Stone Carving and possesses divine power; even an ordinary person who obtains this Imperial Jade Seal can summon the Three Armies!"
In the group, other guards were also puzzled: "But the Imperial Jade Seal has been missing for so long; why is it being brought up now? Isn't that very suspicious?"
"Yes, yes! Moreover, this person is also related to the framing of the Second Lady of the Xia Residence; it seems very suspicious!"
Jiang Tingyu glanced at the surrounding corpses with a heavy expression: "Everyone stop overthinking! When something that has been missing for a long time is suddenly mentioned again, what does it indicate? It only indicates that this thing has already appeared in the Azure Dragon Kingdom or even elsewhere!"
"But where exactly it has appeared and who has it remains unknown! The only thing we can be sure of is that the terrifying Puppet Master is also searching for it just like the Emperor!"
Despite his usual clumsiness, the butler was quite sharp-minded at critical moments; otherwise, Jiang Tingyu would never have made him his capable assistant: "My lord, could this Puppet Master be someone related to Longhui Prince? Perhaps the Queen?"
"Shut up! How many times do I need to warn you not to make wild guesses about this matter! Are there only one or two people related to Longhui Prince? This matter will definitely not be as simple as you think!" Although Jiang Tingyu himself had harbored such suspicions, he did not dare to confirm whether things were as they speculated. He could only angrily reprimand the butler to stop being clever!
Seeing Jiang Tingyu so upset, the butler muttered aggrievedly: "But my lord, don't you find it strange? Longhui Prince is clearly the Emperor's most favored prince; why does he still go to great lengths to win over General Xia in private to solidify his own power? Generally speaking, for something easily within reach, one wouldn't go through so much trouble to obtain it. Could it be that Longhui Prince wants to rebel? But that doesn't make sense!"
This time Jiang Tingyu was truly furious: "This matter is not something you should question! There’s no need for unnecessary speculation!"
"Alright! Everyone quiet down! Let's get back to the point. Even if we can't find the Imperial Jade Seal, gathering useful clues around here would still be a great achievement! We need to seize this opportunity while being pursued to uncover the whereabouts of the Imperial Jade Seal! Otherwise, in the future, it won't be so easy to go out alone!"
"Everyone must remember, we are in the light, while the enemy is in the dark. We must remain vigilant at all times! Do not be careless and lose your life! Do you understand?"
The crowd did not dare to respond loudly but nodded vigorously, their voices echoing back with determination: "Yes, my lord!"
Seeing this, the steward did not dare to ask any more questions and quickly closed his mouth obediently. While searching for clues, he closely followed Jiang Tingyu, fearing that a killer might suddenly appear from somewhere.
...
This night was another tumultuous one; the entire capital was in an uproar due to Jiang Tingyu's disappearance.
Since everyone usually adored Jiang Tingyu immensely, upon hearing that Jiang Tingyu's residence had been bloodied and that he was on the run, they all became busy, secretly trying to find out Jiang Tingyu's whereabouts.
Similarly, for Xia Yuhan, this night was incredibly exhausting.
She kept changing Cang Yile's bandages, feeding him water, and replacing his towels. Every so often, she had to check Cang Yile's temperature to ensure nothing unexpected happened to his body.
After a night of toil, she finally settled down.
Once she finished everything and disposed of all the medical waste into the Treasure Chest, Xia Yuhan couldn't even recall how she fell asleep; she only remembered collapsing into the tent and then losing track of what happened next...
When Cang Yile woke up, he found that the pain from his injuries had lessened significantly and his fever had subsided. He thought to himself that he had finally made it through the night.
He raised his head and saw Xia Yuhan lying beside him, sound asleep, with her back facing him.
This woman must have suffered a lot last night to save him, right?
If she didn't have Cang Yile in her heart, how could she treat him so sincerely?
Thinking of this, Cang Yile suddenly smiled wickedly and reached out to hold Xia Yuhan in his arms, savoring every bit of her…
Woman, remember this: you can only be This King's woman. You are not allowed to smile at other men, especially that Jiang Tingyu. Do you understand? If you smile at him like that, This King will be sad!
Also, woman, can't you just say something to This King when you're in trouble? Why do you have to bear everything alone? If you had followed This King's plan last time, would you have gone through so much trouble entering the palace? Although what you did in the end was very impressive! Even This King has to praise you a few times!
Are you one of those who won't give up until you've made things difficult?
Sigh… mainly because This King is drawn to you when I see you taking such risks, and my heart has been in a knot. Are you an old-fashioned person trying to make things difficult for This King?
Zuo Bai, woman, you really are bold. Right in front of This King, you worked so hard to save Jiang Tingyu. What am I then? Can’t you be a little gentler with This King?
With these thoughts, Cang Yile looked at the beautiful woman sleeping in his arms, his gaze wavering. Unable to help himself, he leaned down and kissed Xia Yuhan's lips gently.
Perhaps it was because he was too gentle that Xia Yuhan felt too comfortable and became lost in her dreams. To Cang Yile's surprise, she even began to respond to his kiss!
Cang Yile withdrew one arm slowly to soothe Xia Yuhan, wishing he could just remove the burdensome clothes from her.
Because of Xia Yuhan's response, Cang Yile felt a rush of heat in his head, and the emotions hidden deep within him were awakened at that moment by Xia Yuhan!
He felt a fire burning inside him, which prompted his hands and feet to involuntarily follow his desires as he began to caress Xia Yuhan...
In her dreams, Xia Yuhan thought this kiss was just a dream, one that made her yearn for closeness and intimacy...
Unknowingly, as Cang Yile went deeper, she too began to respond to him involuntarily!
At that moment, Cang Yile kissed her more passionately, feeling a certain part of his body gradually rising, and he couldn't help but hold the beauty in his arms tighter...
However, it seemed he forgot about the pain he was still experiencing...
It wasn't until he accidentally touched his wound that a sharp pain jolted him back to reality, making him realize what he was doing at that moment.
It was this sudden pain that brought him back to a semblance of clarity.
No, he couldn't do this! He had already hurt her once and didn't want to hurt her again! He couldn't be so selfish as to indulge in his own desires at the cost of her happiness, or make her suffer again.
Cang Yile opened his deeply closed eyes and saw that Xia Yuhan's upper garment had been nearly removed by him, revealing her delicate shoulders. Peering down through the gap in her clothing, he could faintly see the rising peaks on her chest. Just one glance made him lose focus and caused his mind to spiral out of control!
"Woman, you clearly like This King; why won't you admit it? Look how honest your body is! If you didn't like This King, how could you let a stranger get close even while asleep?"
In truth, if she had resisted him even a little, he wouldn't have been so reckless!
Cang Yile suppressed his emotions as much as possible, looking at the beautiful person in his arms, feeling an infinite sense of emotion in his heart: "Woman, I never expected that you are the one I have been searching for all these years. Rest assured, no matter what happens in the future, I will swear to protect you and the great secret that no one knows about you! You can be at ease! Unless I die!"
He gently embraced Xia Yuhan, slightly turned over, and then closed his eyes contentedly because he wanted to know what actions Xia Yuhan would take after waking up and discovering their ambiguous relationship...
Perhaps Xia Yuhan had not enjoyed such sweet tenderness and gentle caresses for a long time, along with the warm chest beside her, so she slept deeply and sweetly.
When she was about to wake up in a daze, she felt a bit cold on her shoulders. At first, she didn't pay much attention to it, but later sensed something was wrong and opened her eyes!
What is going on? Wasn't she clearly sleeping? How could she be in this situation, with her clothes taken off?
Xia Yuhan's heart raced. The next second, she looked at Cang Yile beside her; he was still lying in the same position as last night, even the placement of his arm hadn't changed much.
She knew how his arm was positioned because she had placed it there herself!
What is happening? Wait! Does this mean she had a spring dream while sleeping?
And because there was a handsome man beside her, it unconsciously led to this situation?
