Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1369 - 1367: The Princess Consort Is About to Be Taken Away

Knock, knock, knock!

Master Gui heard the rapid heartbeat. Was it hers or his own?

Wufu blinked and asked, "Master Gui, why are you holding me?"

"Big Brother Han," Master Gui suddenly said, "You can call me Big Brother Han, or my name, Han Feng."

Wufu made a sound of acknowledgment and asked, "And what does that have to do with you holding me?"

Clueless about romance, truly clueless!

Master Gui let go of her and thought of Ah Jiu. If it were Ah Jiu holding her, would she still ask this?

Thinking of Ah Jiu, that person has disappeared, at least temporarily. Does that mean he himself is closest to the opportunity?

"Wufu, are you engaged?" Master Gui asked, "You’ve reached the age of marriage. Have you promised to anyone?"

Wufu shook her head.

Master Gui felt a relief in his heart and smiled, "What a coincidence, I’ve never been engaged either. What do you think of me?"

Uh?

Wufu struggled to open her eyes. What did he say? Her head was a little dizzy, and the one person before her seemed to have become two!

Seeing her cheeks blush and her eyes grow more confused, Master Gui decided that taking advantage of the situation was not something a gentleman would do.

"I’ll take Wufu back!"

Wufu waved her hand, "No need, Chi Wu."

Under the waterside pavilion, Chi Wu was so anxious he nearly jumped. Master Gui and the young lady were so close, clearly taking advantage while the prince wasn’t around to try and steal her.

Hearing Wufu call for him, he swiftly moved beside her and respectfully saluted, "Miss."

"I’m dizzy. I want to go home!" Wufu reached out her hand.

Chi Wu immediately supported her, very warily bade farewell to Master Gui, and then escorted his master away.

Master Gui saw Chi Wu’s guarded expression and couldn’t help but chuckle lightly. What a loyal subordinate, but it only made his resolve stronger. Such an interesting person, of course, he had to seize the opportunity quickly!

Wufu, dizzy from drinking, returned home, completely unaware that her loyal subordinate had used an urgent communication channel to send a message to Ah Jiu via falcon.

At that moment, Ah Jiu, who had just left Beiyan Capital, was resting in a mountain forest when he suddenly heard the sharp cry of a falcon circling overhead and looked up.

Yuan Ye stood up, took out a monocular to look, and replied, "Master, it’s a falcon." As he said this, he pursed his lips and whistled, causing the falcon to dive down.

Ah Jiu frowned. To send a message via falcon—what urgent matter had arisen?

Yuan Ye extended his hand, and the falcon dived rapidly, landing on his arm.

Yuan Ye removed the message tube tied to the falcon’s claw, took out the scroll, glanced over it, and looked at Ah Jiu.

Seeing Yuan Ye’s strange expression, Ah Jiu couldn’t help but ask, "What’s the matter?"

Yuan Ye handed over the scroll directly. Over in Nanyue, were they so idle that they sent such trivial love stories at the fastest speed? 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

But as far as the master is concerned, this might be of utmost importance.

Indeed, after reading the scroll, Ah Jiu’s aura suddenly turned icy cold, and a fierce presence burst forth as he shouted angrily, "Bold! Scoundrel!"

The guards were shocked, and though they didn’t know who he was cursing, they all knelt down in unison, not daring to make a sound.

"Set out immediately. Rush to Nanyue at the fastest speed, day and night!" Ah Jiu clenched the paper into a ball, swiftly mounted his famous steed, and galloped away like an arrow.

Everyone hurried to keep up. Su Luo approached Yuan Ye, "What happened?" They had already left ahead of the main group; now, they had to move even faster?

Yuan Ye calmly replied, "Our Princess Consort is about to be stolen!"

"What!" Su Luo immediately cracked his whip and spurred his horse. That won’t do—the Princess Consort is theirs!
