Chapter 1848: Came For Her

Looking at the people who were being taken away, they were sure that their guess was correct.

The Princess Consort and her children have failed.

After the guards had left, Fang Ying Han said to Sima You Yue: “Let’s go back.”

“Alright.” Sima You Yue nodded. However, after taking a few steps, her face changed suddenly and she said to Yu Xi: “Uncle, will you please take them back?”

“What’s wrong?”

“I have something I need to do. Thank you Uncle.” Having spoken, Sima You Yue disappeared.

Both Yu Xi and Fang Ying Han hadn’t expected her to disappear immediately, and they were taken aback. Huan had also left with her immediately. Although Yu Xi was a little curious about what she had to do, he gave up the idea of chasing after her when he looked at Fang Ying Han and Zhang Ming Da.

Her instructions couldn’t be ignored after all!

“How did the Young Miss just disappear?” Zhang Ming Da took Fang Ying Han’s hand and looked at the place where Sima You Yue had only just been standing.

“I hadn’t expected Young Miss to be so powerful…” Fang Ying Han was also shocked by Sima You Yue.

“Let’s go. I will take you back first.” After Yu Xi turned and walked ahead first, he muttered to himself: “This girl is so secretive, but when she shows her power, she is truly amazing! Really…”

Huan had caught up with Sima You Yue before she had arrived at her destination. The two of them didn’t speak in space and she took him directly to the Seventh Prince’s Manor. It wasn’t over here yet, the Seventh Prince Yu Qi was still resisting stubbornly with his men.

Yu Yan had brought a team of men with him and they had surrounded the Prince’s Manor, and forced them to retreat into the backyard. With nowhere to retreat to, they were trapped from both sides.

“Seventh Imperial Brother, there is no escape, you should just surrender obediently.” Yu Yan stepped in front of his team and confronted Yu Qi.

Upon seeing Yu Yan who was back to normal, Yu Qi snorted coldly: “I never expected that the person with the deepest secret was you! For so many years, you hid who you really were hidden so deeply!”

“I was only forced by your hand!” Yu Yan flicked his sleeves, “If I didn’t show weakness, I’m afraid I would have gone to accompany my Imperial Mother. Do you think I would still be alive now?”

“Hmph! You used your own body as a stake, how ruthless you are! Imperial Father has known about this all along and kept your secret from everyone! Everyone always said that he dotes on Little Imperial Brother the most, but it seems that was just a cover for him. He has wanted to pass the throne to you for a long time!”

“If you were loyal to Imperial Father, he would never have given up on you. But you’ve never been loyal to him at all.” Yu Yan said.

“Hahaha… Of course my loyalty isn’t with him! He isn’t my Imperial Father and he knows it. That’s why deep down, he has never thought of letting me inherit the throne! Since that’s the case, of course I have to pave my own way to the throne! What’s wrong with that? Tell me! What did I do wrong?”

“It seems you’ve known this for a long time!” Yu Yan said, “Then you should know that the Princess Consort and your birth father have been arrested, so you should just surrender now!”

“Surrender? Second Imperial Brother, do you think I’m dumb, or are you being too naive?” Yu Qi smiled, “If I surrender, I won’t be alive for very long! I’m not that stupid!”

“Even if you continue to resist, you have nowhere to go! If you continue down this path, your ending will only be immediate death!” Yu Yan said, “As we have been brothers for so many years, I advise you not to do it!”

“You want to kill me, you are not enough to do it!” Yu Qi cried, “I will definitely escape!”

“Escape? You?” Xiao Ruo Bai opened the door and came out from inside, and his attention focused on her immediately.

“Ruo Bai, I have come to take you away.” Yu Qi walked over to Xiao Ruo Bai’s side, his look of affection seemed genuine.

“You’re here to take me away?” The corners of Xiao Ruo Bai’s mouth lifted mockingly.

“Of course I am here to take you away.” Yu Qi looked at her, “Although it is a bit more difficult, we can still leave.”

“But, I don’t want to leave with you!” Xiao Ruo Bai said, “I never even wanted to be here.”

“No, you have to leave with me! Ruo Bai, you have no choice.” Yu Qi looked at her and refused to give her a chance to reject him.

Xiao Ruo Bai looked back at him, “We know what you want, but I won’t leave with you!”

Yu Qi drew his long sword and placed it against her neck and said: “I am not a patient person. Ruo Bai, you know me, if you don’t leave with me today, then I will send you off!”

“Then do it!” Xiao Ruo Bai was not afraid at all, “The whole Xiao Family has already perished, I have stolen these past two years of my life. If I can go and join them today, that is a good thing for me.”

“Stolen your life?” Yu Qi smiled suddenly when he heard her say this, “I spent so much effort to save you and you are actually saying this now!”

“Till now, you still think so highly of yourself. But I guess, that’s just the way you are.” Xiao Ruo Bai lifted her chin, “Do it if you want to.”

“Seventh Prince, we can’t keep dragging on like this.” The people behind him urged.

Yu Qi also knew that time was running out. He looked at Xiao Ruo Bai’s emotionless face and finally put his sword down.

“Swish…”

A small stone knocked Yu Qi’s sword out of his hand, but he reacted quickly and pulled Xiao Ruo Bai and grabbed her by her neck.

Everyone looked in the direction of where that power had come from, Sima You Yue and Huan emerged slowly.

“It’s you?” Yu Qi looked at her in surprise. He hadn’t expected her to come here.

Xiao Ruo Bai looked at her, her eyes flashed but she didn’t say anything.

“Xi’er, why are you here?” Yu Yan was also surprised at Sima You Yue’s appearance.

“I’m here to pick up Ruo Bai.” Sima You Yue said.

Yu Qi lowered his head and bit Xiao Ruo Bai’s ear: “Haha, it seems my enemy regards you as her friend and has come to save you!”

Xiao Ruo Bai looked at Sima You Yue but said nothing.

“Second Imperial Brother, do you know who Murong Hui and Murong Xi really are? Why don’t we do an exchange? I will give you Xiao Ruo Bai and you will let me leave. How about that?” Yu Qi asked.

Yu Yan glanced at Sima You Yue, but this glance confirmed Yu Qi’s suspicions.

It seemed that Murong Xi held a very high status in his heart! She also held Xiao Ruo Bai in high regard. Therefore, Xiao Ruo Bai was his bargaining chip today!

Sima You Yue saw through his thoughts and said: “You want to use her as a bargaining chip?”

“That’s right! How about it, Murong Xi! If you want Xiao Ruo Bai to live, then you’ll have to let me leave. I know that the person with you is very strong. As long as you agree, you can have her! Don’t play any tricks or I will kill her in an instant!”

“Do you think you have any right to negotiate with us? You want to kill Ruo Bai, just you?” As soon as she had spoken, she appeared right in front of Yu Qi and Xiao Ruo Bai and grabbed her hand without warning.
