C10 See the Emperor

The palace.

The man in the dragon robe had a stern and cold expression. There was a trace of displeasure in his tone. "Haven't you found it yet?"

He also knelt down and said seriously, "There are no clues left in the cave. Our people broke the clues when they found the Plum Villa."

Ji Jing returned to the palace, seems to have been unable to put down the official, sent around the search, but to no avail. In the past few days, he had also suffered greatly, almost to the point of being killed by Ji Jing's gaze.

"Your majesty, this subordinate thinks that Miss Wang may have escaped on her own."

He also took the risk of admonishing her. From his point of view, he did not want such a woman who could affect the heart of an emperor to appear once again.

Ji Jing's eyes turned slightly cold. He had an inexplicable thought about why Guan Ran would suddenly appear in a cave in the wilderness. She even brought a complete bag with her, as if she had escaped by herself.

Of course, he would not reveal any of this. He still wore the same solemn expression on his face, and he did not conceal his displeasure.

"You have overstepped your boundaries." Ji Jingtian sat on the seat of honor. The aura exuded from him was so powerful that even He Feng's forehead was drenched in cold sweat.

"It's your duty to find her."

He also had a slight change in expression, "Yes, Subordinate will obey." He paused for a moment, but then said with difficulty, "Your majesty, please leave the matter of the young lady to your subordinate. Now, in the Jiangnan River, you have to busy yourself day and night, so it's better to focus on your health."

He had followed the overlord for many years and protected him ever since he was young. Compared to his ordinary subordinates, he was more concerned about the overlord's body.

Ji Jing frowned. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly said: "The Jiangnan River this time is different from the previous times. I've decided to privately visit you. You can handle the matters concerning the government."

He paused for a moment, then swallowed his desire to accompany him and answered, "I will follow your orders."

Ji Jing had only brought one bodyguard with him. It was San Yang, who was also brought out. He was a quiet but strong young man.

Ji Jingshi was flustered. The Minister of State and the Prime Minister still fought in the open and in the dark. The Imperial Consort and Imperial Concubine Le were still scheming and plotting against each other.

Only the emperor could enjoy a moment of peace on the street.

Ji Jingtian only slightly modified his face to cover up his perverted appearance. As he walked through the crowd, he still met many gazes that were filled with admiration.

San Yang didn't even glance at him, protecting Ji Jing the whole time.

The man walked on thoughtfully, paying no attention to the gazes around him. Only when he heard a charming voice did he regain his senses.

"Ah Yu, look at this bronze statue. It's so lifelike, it feels like you."

She turned her head in bewilderment, but all she saw was a man in the crowd with a gloomy face.

The official's face stiffened, and he subconsciously wanted to run away. She was small, so it was easy for her to avoid everyone's gaze in the bustling crowd.

"San Yang, catch her."

Ji Jing said in a cold voice, his gaze fixed on the fleeing Ji Hao. He didn't think that he would coincidentally run into such a person on the street. It was clearly someone that he had ordered people to search for for a long time, yet he suddenly appeared.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Ran had been carried in front of Ji Jing like a little chick.

The official was disgusted with Ji Jing, so he didn't look good anymore. "What else do you want to do?"

It was not safe to have more people on the streets, as there would only be one person in San Yang no matter how strong he was.

He took the person from San Yang's hands, and forcefully took her into his embrace despite her struggles. When he noticed that she wanted to bite him, Ji Jing frowned, "Don't move."

The officer froze, then obediently obeyed.

When she realized what had happened, she couldn't wait to use her hands and feet to struggle. Ji Jing was impatient and didn't want to attract attention on the streets. He picked her up, put her chattering lips on his chest, and openly carried her away.

Once again falling into the hands of Ji Jing, the official did not think of it. The last time she saw Ji Jing, she hated him to the core and didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.

"Since you've abandoned me, if you have the guts, then let me out now."

His first attempt at escape failed, and he was carried to Ji Jing by San Yang. The man looked at her without saying a word, but remained silent.

"Ji Jing …" The official was a little broken down, this person was hard to deal with, as long as she didn't say a word, it was the most unbearable for her.

"What's the point of this?" I'm not a toy. If you want it, take it and look at it. If you find it too much, put it aside. "I also have the heart, blood and flesh. I am a living person. Can't you understand the sorrow of us small fries even though you are so high up?"
