Chapter 23: Don't worry, what they took away is fake
"What they took away was fake."
I wanted to try to be mysterious, but Yelu Zihan's eyes were like magic, staring at me until my scalp went numb, so I had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Li Keqing and I received a cold arrow, and when we returned to the palace, we heard Jiang Wuhua's cry. Don't you think this is strange?"
"So you just changed the luminous pearl when you entered the room?"
"Well, at the banquet, I had the fish eyes and the Night Pearl in my hands, but Sikong Fu said that the Night Pearl was given to me, and when he left, he was so angry that he even forgot to keep these two things in his hands. That's fine, this
Just return the fish eyes to them, you should know that I cannot steal the Night Pearl."
Yeluzihan slowly slowed down his steps, his eyes complex.
I really wasn't used to being looked at with such weird eyes, "I've told you everything, why are you still looking at me like this?"
"It's nothing, I just didn't expect you to be smart sometimes."
"You're stupid." Damn it, I thought he would praise me a few words, but it's true that a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. If it weren't for the fact that he saved my life, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to him.
After returning to the palace, Yelu Zihan put me on a soft couch and sent away all the maids arranged by Sikong Fu in the palace on the pretext of asking for an imperial doctor.
It happened that the table next to the soft couch was filled with cakes. I hadn't eaten anything since yesterday's party, so my stomach growled when I saw the things. I grabbed the things on the table and wolfed them down.
Li Keqing walked into the palace one step after us, holding on to the hilt of the sword on his waist, looking very heroic.
"Master, should we leave now? It's very dangerous here."
"no."
"no."
Yelu Zihan and I said in unison, Yelu Zihan looked at me sideways, "Why not?"
"Their goal is the Night Pearl. This matter is not that simple. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. If the enemy does not move and we do not move, the best way is to not move."
"It makes sense, but after this time, the other party will definitely be more cautious. How can you let them take the initiative to come to your door again?" Yelu Zihan's words sounded more like he was testing me, rather than asking for my advice.
It seems that he already has a plan in mind.
"This depends on your ability. Anyway, I'm just talking. If something happens to me, you won't be able to survive."
"Ke Qing, please make arrangements and let out the news that we are going back to Qi Yunguo."
"Can……"
"Just do as you are told."
"I humble my position and accept my order."
"Are you satisfied with my approach?" Yelu Zihan asked me.
"What does it have to do with me?" She stopped him in a bad tone, stood up, and touched her bloated belly. Alas, she was sleepy.
The warm breeze is gentle, and when I wake up after a long sleep, I feel that the air outside the house is very fresh. But who would have thought that with such good weather, there will definitely be a violent storm later?
After lunch, a sedan came to take me to the East Gate. Along the way, the imperial guards stood on both sides in an orderly manner.
He led us directly to Sikong Fu. As soon as they met, Sikong Fu and Yelu Zihan were as enthusiastic as long-lost brothers, hooking up with each other.
"Brother Yelu, why are you leaving so soon?"
"I'll tell you the truth. My wife was kidnapped yesterday, which caused a long night and many dreams. I want to return home first."
"Robbery? I'm sorry that our country is heavily guarded. I don't know anything about something like this. It's unreasonable. I immediately sent someone to check it out."
