'Bang! '

Angry, Zhao Xiaoxue pushed the door open.

"Chu Yufeng, you have to explain it to me today!"

Upon stepping into Lin Xuan Pavilion, Zhao Xiaoxue began to shout inside, but the house was empty, not even a single person could be seen.

"Where is he?"

After walking around the room, he still did not see anyone.

"Could it be that he entered the palace?"

Although Chu Yufeng didn't have any official position, he was still summoned into the palace every few days.

"So early to the palace? "Even the Emperor isn't resting?"

Walking out of Lin Xuan Pavilion and looking at the white sky in the distance, Zhao Xiaoxue couldn't help but complain. She slowly let go of the momentum she had accumulated with great difficulty. Everything could only be done when she met Chu Yufeng.

"I wonder when he'll be back? Perhaps I can ask Butler Qiu! "

Zhao Xiaoxue was very confident in her judgement. In her opinion, Steward Qiu knew the affairs of the estate like the back of his hand, so he must know the Southern King's whereabouts.

"But …"

Just as Zhao Xiaoxue took two steps, she stopped herself. It was a good idea to look for Steward Qiu, but where could she find him at home?

Although she had been in the Southern King's Estate for a few days, she had never had the chance to properly visit it. Now, it was rather difficult to find someone.

"I really want to ask someone!"

Zhao Xiaoxue looked around. There wasn't a single person around her. Even the Spring Forest, which usually guarded the Lin Xuan Pavilion, was nowhere to be seen.

"Right, there must be someone at the gate!"

In Zhao Xiaoxue's impression, the only popular place in the South King's Mansion was the main entrance. But when Zhao Xiaoxue arrived at the main entrance, she found that the most popular place was also empty.

According to the iron law set by Qiu Jianhan, not many people would dare to neglect their duty. Therefore, there was only one answer. These people were purposely avoiding her. Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaoxue pulled her face and said coldly,

"Come out, I know where you're hiding!"

Even though Zhao Xiaoxue said these harsh words, there was still no movement from the surroundings. However, Zhao Xiaoxue did not give up. She clasped her hands together, turned around, and coldly swept her eyes over everything in the mansion.

"No matter what, I am the mistress of this Southern King Manor. You actually dare to act so frivolously to me. Do you really not want to stay in this mansion anymore?"

As soon as Zhao Xiaoxue said this, the surrounding crowd started to make noise. She was right, there was someone here, and they were just hiding.

"I'll count to three. If you still don't come out, don't blame me …"

"Esteemed wangfei, please forgive me. This one …" "I was having a stomachache and I couldn't hold it in any longer, so I left for a while!"

A servant dressed in blue slowly emerged from the bushes. Behind him, there was another person dressed in the same robe. Hearing what the person in front of him said, that person hurriedly nodded and said,

"That's right!" That's right! "My stomach hurts, my stomach hurts!"

Faced with the two lackadaisical servants, Zhao Xiaoxue only moved her lips slightly. She was too lazy to argue with them as she had more important things to ask:

"It doesn't matter if you're having a stomachache or just pretending. I can let it go, but now, you have to tell me what you know!"

Both of them nodded at the princess' words.

"Do you know where the Southern King went?"

Zhao Xiaoxue was just hoping for some luck. They had been guarding the door all this time, so they might be able to find out where Chu Yufeng was.

"The Southern King went over there!"

"The Southern King went over there!"

Surprisingly, both of them knew where the Southern King went. However, looking in the direction of the two attendants, Zhao Xiaoxue frowned.

"Where did the Southern King go?"

Zhao Xiaoxue asked in a low voice.

"It's over there!"

"It's over there!"

Zhao Xiaoxue didn't know if the two had agreed on this, but they had actually both changed directions at the same time. Seeing this, Zhao Xiaoxue was truly furious:

"Do you know?"

The wangfei was usually very amiable, but her sudden display of power was also exceptionally frightening. The two servants were so frightened that they quickly kneeled on the ground with their heads lowered:

"The Southern King has left his estate. As for where he went, it's really not something that us slaves can guess so easily. I beg that the wangfei forgive us!"

The other party was right. Zhao Xiaoxue was not an unreasonable person. She restrained the anger in her heart and slowly said:

"Then tell me, where is Butler Qiu? You all might not be able to explain it, but Butler Qiu should know about it, right? "

"Qiu …" Butler Qiu has also left the residence! "

A person replied in a low voice, trembling with fear.

"Is Steward Qiu out of the house?" "Why, when the sky is just bright, everyone is in a rush to leave, why is that so?"

Only now did Zhao Xiaoxue realize that there were too many strange things happening today.

"Isn't it because of fear …"

Another servant was about to say something when he realized that he had spoken too much and immediately shut his mouth.

"What are you afraid of?"

Zhao Xiaoxue felt that there was something wrong with these two servants.

"Butler Qiu is afraid of delaying matters!" "That's why you're so fast!"

The attendant at the side hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

Zhao Xiaoxue didn't like fighting with other people, especially when it came to talking with two people who were talking nonsense.

"You all are pretty good. You all are full of lies. Do you really think that I'm an idiot?"

Zhao Xiaoxue was furious. There were too many things she wasn't clear about, which made her feel very confused. But even if she said something fierce, she couldn't really teach him a lesson.

"This servant doesn't dare!"

The two of them were still very respectful.

"Humph!"

Zhao Xiaoxue angrily turned around.

'Clap clap! '

Ah!

The screams coming from behind surprised Zhao Xiaoxue. She turned around and discovered that Bu Li, who was wearing a dark green robe, had actually sent two attendants flying with a wave of his arm.

"You'd better answer my lady's question honestly. If you dare to spout nonsense again, I can't guarantee you won't lose your arms or legs this time!"

Just as Bu Li finished his sentence, the two attendants immediately replied in a sobbing tone with faces full of fear:

"Yes!" "Yes!"

Although Zhao Xiaoxue did not want to use force, she now knew that in front of absolute strength, words were particularly important. Now was not the time to be grateful towards Bu Li. She needed to strike the iron while it was hot and coordinate with Bu Li.

"Where did the Southern King go? What do you know? "

Hearing the question, the two servants didn't dare to answer at the same time. The two of them looked at each other, and in the end, one of them replied very seriously:

"The Southern King probably first went to the Imperial Palace, and then... Then, they might go to the Eastern Yue Kingdom! "

"To the Eastern Yue Kingdom?"

Zhao Xiaoxue could understand going to the Imperial Palace, but what was going on in the East Peak Country?

"Why are you going to the East Peak Country when you are perfectly fine?"

Zhao Xiaoxue only asked this, she didn't expect the two people in front of her instantly tensed up. Obviously, they knew the reason.

"Tell me what you know!"

Bu Li slightly moved his palm, causing the joints between his fingers to crack.
