When she looked up again, she saw that Xu An had gotten up without knowing when, and quietly walked backwards towards the study door without making any movement.
She knew the danger!
Even Eunuch Xu, who usually stays by Ji Yannuo's side, has to avoid him. What terrible thing is in the box?
Ye Fuxun pressed his heels against the threshold and smoothly backed out of the study.
But in the blink of an eye, Xu An also walked out backwards.
And inside the study room...
Ji Yannuo stood up at some point, putting one hand on the table and the other on the wooden box.
His eyes instantly turned red, and his whole body was filled with a dark, icy cold air that seemed to come from a dungeon.
The cold air centered on Ji Yannuo, eroding the air around him inch by inch, causing everything to freeze into ice in an instant.
Thousands of years of ice invisible to the naked eye spread outward, and the cold air was so cold that the two people standing outside the study felt as if they were being choked for breath.
"Ye Fuxun, where did that wooden box come from?" Eunuch Xu's trembling voice sounded in Ye Fuxun's ears.
Ye Fuxun also shook his voice: "Yes, the queen asked me to take it to the East Palace to get it."
Eunuch Xu suddenly opened his eyes: "No wonder, no wonder..."
I'm afraid he and Ye Fuxun's fate won't be revealed here, right?
"Eunuch Xu, what should we do now?" Xu An is the old man next to Ji Yannuo. Logically speaking, there should be a way to save his life. Ye Fuxun asked with hope.
Unexpectedly, Xu An shook his head: "I don't know, either."
Time passed bit by bit.
Ji Yannuo maintained the same posture like a statue, his eyes always staring at the objects in the wooden box.
"Eunuch Xu, what exactly is in that muheizi?" Ye Fuxun clenched his fists and asked in a low voice.
Xu An breathed out softly, shook his head and did not respond to her words.
Just when the two of them were getting more and more nervous, Ji Yannuo suddenly stood up straight, took the wooden box in his hand casually, and strode out of the study room.
Ye Fuxun and Xu An moved to both sides almost without thinking.
Ji Yannuo stepped out of the threshold, grabbed Ye Fuxun's wrist, and strode outside without stopping.
Ye Fuxun almost ran wildly to catch up with Ji Yannuo.
Behind him was Xu An, who was chasing after him: "Your Highness, wait a minute! Where are you going?"
Ye Fuxun turned his head and glanced at Xu An, who was running towards him, in confusion. Ji Yannuo clearly didn't catch him, so why was he rushing to follow him to his death?
However, Xu An gave her a helpless look in return.
As a slave, how can I have the right to choose?
If His Highness makes a mistake, even ten of them won't be enough to kill him.
"Prepare the horse." Ji Yannuo said coldly, dragging Ye Fuxun forward quickly.
Xu An was stunned, hurriedly beckoned and took a few followers to rush towards the stable to prepare.
"Your Highness, my hand hurts, it hurts..." Ye Fuxun ran out of breath. He felt that his wrist was about to be broken by Ji Yannuo, so he couldn't help but protest.
Ji Yannuo looked back at her with a devilish smile on his lips: "It's okay if it hurts."
What the hell does this, this, this mean?
Ye Fuxun swallowed his complaints. He didn't know if he was frightened by Ji Yannuo, but he felt that the pain on his wrist was not as painful as before.
He hurried to the stables in the front yard and saw that Xu An had already pulled out Ji Yannuo's horse. He seemed to be breathing calmly and said: "Your Highness, the horse is ready."
Ji Yannuo glanced at him and got on his horse.
Ye Fuxun, who was finally let go of his wrist, was not thankful for more than a second. The next moment, he was pulled up by Ji Yannuo and sat on the horse.
"Ah!" She couldn't help but exclaimed. The memory of the last time she was thrown onto a horse by Ji Yannuo like a sack suddenly came back to her. She hurriedly sat down and reached out to grab the clothes on Ji Yannuo's back.
"Drive!" Ji Yannuo shouted in a low voice without looking back, and the horse galloped away.
And just when Ye Fuxun was so shocked that he reached out and hugged Ji Yannuo's back, Xu An quickly stuffed a baggage into her and gave her a "treasured" look.
Ye Fuxun wanted to cry but had no tears.
He grabbed Ji Yannuo's clothes with one hand, straddled the baggage Xu An gave him with the other, sat on Ji Yannuo's horse, and galloped out of the Prince's Mansion.
The horse gallops all the way.
The slightly chilly wind made Ye Fuxun's ears ache.
I wonder where the seemingly crazy Ji Yannuo is going to take her?
Dusk gradually fell, and people gradually returned to their homes. Only occasional passers-by could be seen along the road they were galloping on.
As we traveled farther and farther, the area gradually became sparsely populated, and a mountain appeared in front of us.
They should still be in the capital, why are there mountains?
Questions flashed through Ye Fuxun's mind, and he felt the horse slow down. Ji Yannuo led her slowly forward at the foot of the mountain.
"Your Highness, please wait for me!" Ye Fuxun quickly ran after her with her short legs.
Ji Yannuo was tall and had long legs, but in the blink of an eye he almost slipped into the forest.
Ye Fuxun was afraid of the dark, so he ran quickly to follow behind.
Entering the forest, the light became darker and darker.
There were many gravels on the path, which made Ye Fuxun, who was wearing embroidered shoes, complain endlessly and his feet hurt.
But with Ji Yannuo's aura of keeping strangers away, Ye Fuxun had to hold back the complaints that came to his lips.
Suddenly, a cry like a wild beast came from a distance, which frightened Ye Fuxun into screaming. Without thinking, he reached out and hugged Ji Yannuo's arm: "Your Highness, there is a wild beast!"
Ji Yannuo paused for a moment and looked at her coldly: "That's an owl."
Is this what an owl sounds like?
Ye Fuxun looked away in embarrassment, but did not let go of the hand holding Ji Yannuo's arm.
It will be dark soon, and there may be some danger in the woods.
Ji Yannuo snorted coldly and continued to climb up with rapid strides.
Ye Fuxun felt like a human-shaped sack, the kind tied to Ji Yannuo's arm.
His calves had to fly very fast to keep up with Ji Yannuo's speed.
Fortunately, even though Ji Yannuo had a look of disgust on his face, he never threw her away.
After walking for nearly two quarters of an hour, we finally reached the top of the mountain.
Ji Yannuo stopped, walked to a big tree that stretched to the sky, and looked down the mountain.
At this time, the sky was an endless dark blue, almost covering the entire capital city under the sky. It looked like the capital city was resting and sleeping like a mythical beast that had been roaming for thousands of years, which was shocking.
Ye Fuxun was holding on to a tree and panting, the soles of his feet hurting from the gravel on the road. Because he rarely exercised, his legs were sore and his stomach felt hungry.
In the afternoon, I was summoned to the palace by the Queen. After nearly two hours of nervous tossing, I finally returned to the Prince's Mansion. Before I could take a breath, I was carried up the mountain again by an angry Ji Yannuo.
My stomach is empty and I really want to eat.
"When I was seven years old, I was ordered to be sent to the State of Qi as a hostage."
