Chapter 975 - 975: Wei Xu Takes Action (1)

The Honglu Temple minister recognized Mei Ji. She was an expert who had appeared beside Mr. Zhuge.

Before he left, Emperor Jing Xuan had already reminded him about Mr. Zhuge coming to the southern border.

“May I know where His Highness and General Wei Ting are?” The Honglu Temple official asked.

The group set off together. Logically speaking, since Princess Hui An had met them, she should know their whereabouts.

“I’m not sure.” Princess Hui An calmed down and said calmly, “I just bumped into Mei Ji on the streets.”

The minister looked at Mei Ji again.

Mei Ji said fiercely, “Why are you looking at me? My master has long been separated from your Great Zhou’s princes and generals! Who knows where they went? I still want to ask you! When we left the capital, we agreed that my master would be in charge of the investigation on the road and you Great Zhou would escort my master. In the end, as soon as you came to the southern border, you packed your bags and left! Hmph!”

This ability to accuse could be said to be watertight.

The minister of the Honglu Temple could not tell if it was real or fake, so he could only choose to believe her first.

Princess Hui An continued, “Why did Lord Wang come to the southern border?”

The minister of the Honglu Temple cupped his hands and bowed. “His Majesty sent me to the southern border to discuss the marriage alliance between the two countries. I set off first and was three days late. I’m also on my way. However, there’s something I don’t understand. Why did Princess leave the marriage team and enter the capital ahead of time?”

“You don’t know that…”

The minister looked at her curiously.

Princess Hui An changed the topic. “I can’t stay in the carriage?”

Her escape was not discovered. Could it be that her grandmother had helped her cover it up?

However, if the bridal team went to the temple to pick her up, she would definitely be exposed.

Even if her grandmother could find someone to impersonate her at the last minute, she could not impersonate her for the rest of her life.

Once a physical relationship occurred during the wedding, everything would be exposed.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Princess Hui An’s mind.

In the past, she would not have thought so much.

She had grown along the way.

Even the minister of the Honglu Temple sensed that the carefree princess’s eyebrows were filled with worry.

The minister sighed and asked, “Your Highness, where are you staying now? Where are your palace servants?”

“We got separated.”

Princess Hui An looked unwilling to mention it.

After all, the minister of the Honglu Temple was a minister and did not dare to interrogate Princess Hui An.

He said, “For Your Highness’s safety, please allow me to escort Your Highness into the palace.”

The King of the Southern Wilderness attached great importance to this marriage. He did not ask the envoys to stay in the posthouse or the other palace, but directly arranged accommodation for the envoys in the Qianyu Palace.

Mei Ji suddenly grabbed Princess Hui An’s hand and pointed at the other side.

“Eh? King Rui!”

The minister and the guards turned around.

Mei Ji pulled Hui An away.

Princess Hui An stopped her and shook her head slightly. ‘Mei Ji, I can’t leave.” She could escape from the capital and let her father think of a way to deal with the aftermath.

However, she had been recognized on the streets. If she escaped again, it would be a public slap to the face of the Southern Wilderness royal family and might implicate all the Great Zhou people in the capital.

She couldn’t do that.

“But.  I have to protect you!”

“You protected me very well. It’s just that I… don’t have that free life.”

After saying that, Princess Hui An gently let go of Mei Ji’s hand and said to the minister of the Honglu Temple, “Let’s enter the palace.”

“Xiaoxiao! Xiaoxiao!”

Mei Ji used her movement technique to return to Elder Lou’s residence.

Su Xiaoxiao was preparing medicine for Su Li in the courtyard and Su Xuan was helping her.

Su Xiaoxiao looked up at her. “Why did you come back alone? Where’s Huahua?”

Mei Ji blamed herself. “Huahua was captured!”

Su Xiaoxiao paused in her actions. “By whom?”

Mei Ji said bitterly, “The Honglu Temple official of the Great Zhou!”

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Su Xuan, who put down the herbs in his hand.

Su Xiaoxiao retracted her gaze and asked Mei Ji, ‘When did the Honglu minister come to the capital of the Southern Wilderness? I didn’t hear anything about that.”

Mei Ji carefully recalled the travel-worn appearance of the Honglu Temple minister and the guards and guessed, “From the looks of it, they just arrived. I heard that they’re here for the marriage alliance. The marriage team is on the way. He thought that Huahua couldn’t stay idle and shook off the marriage team to enter the capital first.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Tell me what happened in detail again.”

“Yes!”

Mei Ji told her everything, from when she went out with Princess Hui An to how she burped a few times along the way..
