"I want to know everything that just happened!" Nan Xuzong's words were filled with anger.
...
Ji Wushang felt a sharp pain in his head. He couldn't believe that someone else could go up to the seventh floor of the September Pavilion and even kidnap him! Nan Xuzong must be very anxious!
Ji Wushang opened his eyes and looked around at the complete darkness. Based on the surroundings, Ji Wushang guessed that this was probably an underground chamber, though he couldn't rule out the possibility that it was an underground prison in some grand mansion.
Ji Wushang twisted his arm, thinking of untying the rope binding his hands.
"Waaaaah, waaaah!" Ji Wushang sobbed, hoping someone would come in so he could at least get some light and see what this place was!
But it looks like there's no one here at all!
Upon seeing this, Ji Wushang immediately tried to pull on the rope in his hand. The rope tied around his wrist was very tight, and Ji Wushang could not untie it for a while!
Just then, they heard footsteps.
Ji Wushang immediately stopped everything quietly and listened for the people outside to come in.
Those bright eyes shone like dazzling pearls in the darkness.
When Yiyun went up to the city and saw the maid open the door, she saw this place and couldn't help but frown. "Where is she?"
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Imperial Consort is inside." The maid immediately invited Yiyun to go inside the city.
Looking around at the complete darkness, Yiyun Shangcheng was filled with rage. "Damn it, can't you even light a lamp! Her room is always lit! She's afraid of the dark!"
"This servant deserves to die!" The maid immediately knelt down, and several other maids hurriedly lit candles.
Hearing the sounds outside, Ji Wushang's nerves were on edge. Was it him?
Yiyun Shangcheng coldly looked at the kneeling maid on the ground, waved her hand, and said, "Get out!" The maid was almost sent flying, then crashed to the ground and lay there unable to move!
The air suddenly smelled of blood.
Yiyun Shangcheng's eyes were still dark purple as he strode in.
Upon seeing someone approaching, Ji Wushang immediately closed his eyes. Whether it was him or not, he had to act according to the situation!
The surrounding area was lit up, illuminating the space. It turned out that this was a huge, dark room, which was naturally the dungeon inside.
From a distance, Yiyun Shangcheng saw Ji Wushang leaning against the side. Her eyes were closed, her hands were tied behind her back, and her legs were also bound with ropes!
"Who told you to treat her like this!" Yi Yun Shangcheng's anger intensified. He stepped forward, grabbed the iron chain of the cell with one hand, and pulled hard, instantly breaking the chain and throwing it to the ground.
Yi Yun went up to the city and immediately squatted down in front of Ji Wushang. He checked Ji Wushang's breathing with his hand and was relieved to find that it was very steady.
He immediately bent down and untied the ropes binding Ji Wushang's feet.
Then he started untying the rope in her hands.
But when she saw the ropes tied to Ji Wushang's back and arms, she noticed, "You're awake." Yi Yun Shangcheng didn't untie her ropes, but instead turned her body around so that she could look at him.
Ji Wushang stopped pretending and opened his bright eyes, "You're despicable, why did you capture me?"
"I'll give you a good show. I clearly said I invited you here, but they actually used such methods. In that case, I won't spare their lives."
"Whether they live or die is none of my business! Let me go back right now!" Ji Wushang glared at him angrily. Damn it, how did I get involved with this man again? Shouldn't he be in the Western Regions? Could it be that I am in the Western Regions?
No, the Western Regions are quite far from here. It should only be getting dark now, and I'm still in the imperial city.
"I promised to treat you to a good show, and I will keep my promise." Yiyun Shangcheng smiled. "Come, let me untie your ropes. Did I hurt you?"
"I don't need your fake kindness!" Ji Wushang snorted coldly. She rubbed the rope vigorously in front of him, hoping to rub it off.
Yi Yun Shangcheng's eyes darkened, and he covered her jade-like hand with his large hand. Ji Wushang immediately dodged away, "Don't touch me!" She glared at him angrily and retreated forcefully.
Yiyun Shangcheng looked at her, her expression somewhat cold, but she wasn't angry. "You can't untie it; it will hurt you."
"Let me go back." Ji Wushang looked at him. "He was very worried about me. I want to go back to him!"
"Ji Wushang, how many times do I have to tell you before you understand that you must not mention him in front of me!" Yi Yun Shangcheng grabbed Ji Wushang's chin with his large hand, forcing her to look up at him.
Ji Wushang gritted his teeth, "Let me go!"
Yi Yun Shangcheng's purple eyes were deep and cold. He released her hand, but in the blink of an eye, he immediately pressed her pressure points. "What should I do with you?" he sighed softly and pulled her into his arms.
Unable to move, Ji Wushang could only shout, "Put me down right now!"
But at this moment, Ji Wushang felt Yi Yunshang's large, warm hand touch her small hand.
"You filthy thing, let me go!" Ji Wushang cursed.
"You are so beautiful," Yiyun Shangcheng murmured. He looked at her hands with a smile on his lips, but quickly untied the ropes binding her hands.
He turned her over, and Yi Yun Shangcheng immediately picked her up, stepping out of the dungeon. "This dungeon is too damp, it's not good for your health. I'll punish them for you later." Yi Yun Shangcheng smiled, his way of addressing her had changed.
Ji Wushang's anger remained unabated, his eyes seemingly burning with fury. "King of the Western Regions, if you don't want to provoke a war between our two countries, then please let me go back immediately. I can say that I accidentally got lost, and we can cover this up!"
"Impossible." Yi Yun Shangcheng looked at her, but smiled. "You know what? I like holding you like this. How could I let myself waste this opportunity!" With that, Yi Yun Shangcheng carried Ji Wushang out.
Ji Wushang's face was filled with shame and indignation. "I'm already married, what more do you want?"
“I don’t care,” Yiyun Shangcheng said directly.
"I care, put me down!" Ji Wushang looked at him, but Yi Yunshangcheng showed no intention of letting her go. Ji Wushang immediately called out, "Yi Yunshangcheng!"
"I'm here." He smiled, looking down at himself.
Ji Wushang felt like he was being driven crazy by this person!
At this moment, the maids, seeing that it was Yiyun Shangcheng and Ji Wushang, immediately made way for them.
Seeing that he had no luck, Ji Wushang could only look around and realize that he was in the underground palace! He had been here before, but now it seemed different!
"Where is this place?" Ji Wushang looked at him. At this moment, the maids all retreated after seeing Yiyun Shangcheng holding her.
"It's the underground palace, but you just don't know it!" Yi Yun Shangcheng glanced at her, "I'll definitely give you a good show!" He said, his eyes full of excitement!
Ji Wushang looked at him, "Yiyun Shangcheng, I don't know how to explain it to you so that you'll understand..."
"Then let's not talk about it." He glanced at her. "You should know my temper!"
"I don't know!" Ji Wushang looked at him, and seeing that he wouldn't compromise, he fell silent. Was there no way to deal with him, given his stubbornness?
Let's just wait for the right opportunity!
When Yiyun Shangcheng saw that she didn't speak, she immediately fell silent as well.
The stone door was open, and Ji Wushang saw that it was still dark inside. She couldn't help but recall what she had overheard him saying in the dungeon, "Her bedroom is always lit! She's afraid of the dark." Ji Wushang immediately looked at him. Yes, she knew it; he had sneaked into her bedroom several times! She only kept the lights on because she was afraid someone would jump into her bedroom like he had!
It made him think he was afraid of the dark...
At that moment, the surroundings lit up, and Yi Yun Shangcheng carried Ji Wushang inside.
Ji Wushang looked around. This seemed to be a palace where court was held, but why was there a high seat? He carried her step by step towards the top, where there was a pillar with the crystal ball on it.
Ji Wushang was drawn to the crystal ball, and at that moment, Yiyun Shangcheng had already placed Ji Wushang on a high seat to the side, so he sat down as well. "Do you like it here?"
"I don't like it." Ji Wushang rolled her eyes at him. This place didn't even belong to her, and she had been kidnapped here by him. How could she possibly like it?
“Don’t like it? Then I’ll take you back to the Western Regions and build you a palace you like.” Yiyun looked around. “For now, you’ll have to make do.”
"Yiyun Shangcheng, what exactly do you want?" Ji Wushang looked at him. "I'd rather die than be taken back to the Western Regions by you!"
"It's not your place to refuse." Yi Yun Shangcheng smiled, then gently touched her with his large hand. Ji Wushang tried to turn her head away, but she couldn't move and could only be taken advantage of by him.
"Don't touch me!" Ji Wushang shouted angrily as he saw the large hand about to place on his waist.
“You’ll get tired easily sitting like that,” Yi Yun Shangcheng said, then gently lifted her up and straightened her posture. “Yes, you’ll have to look at that crystal ball carefully later. Yes, just stare at that crystal ball like that.”
"I won't stare!" Ji Wushang immediately closed his eyes.
"There are things you want to know inside. Aren't you interested?" Yi Yun Shangcheng smiled. "Nan Xu Cong will appear there, and you can see everything about him!"
"What?" Ji Wushang immediately opened his eyes, but there was absolutely nothing there!
"As I said, 'Later,' you're really impatient! Well then, I'll grant your wish!" Yi Yun Shangcheng smiled as he stood up, then walked to the crystal ball, his hand already gathering a powerful force, which he immediately poured into the crystal ball!
Ji Wushang was extremely surprised. With such powerful martial arts and such abilities, wouldn't Nan Xuzong easily lose if he were to fight him?
After Yi Yun Shangcheng injected that power, sure enough, a new image immediately appeared on it! Yi Yun Shangcheng immediately turned around and walked towards Ji Wushang, "Come on, let's watch this good show together!"
Without waiting for Ji Wushang's reply, he stepped in and sat down next to her, his large hand resting on her waist!
"Sit over there! It's cramped here!" Ji Wushang's eyes darted around, trying to find him. He could now really see Nan Xuzong inside the crystal ball!
He was anxiously searching for himself!
What should I do? This crystal ball is so powerful; it's practically a device for monitoring me! My most important task now is to let Nan Xuzong know I'm here, so he can come and rescue me. If I can get out of here, that would be even better. And this crystal ball—I must destroy it!
Otherwise, wouldn't Yiyun Shangcheng be able to see whatever he wants to see in the future? Wouldn't he then know all the secrets and secrets?
But how can this crystal ball be destroyed?
“I like sitting with you.” Yi Yun Shangcheng didn’t leave; instead, she moved even closer to Ji Wushang.
Ji Wushang was angry, but she refrained from arguing with him too much and instead looked at Nan Xuzong inside the crystal ball.
Nan Xuzong's face was ashen, and the servants trembled in fear, not daring to utter a sound. Hongfei and Cuiwu, who were standing beside Nan Xuzong, didn't dare to breathe too loudly.
He returned to his study, thinking he should open a book or write a few letters, but he just couldn't concentrate on reading!
"Go out and search until you find it!" Nan Xuzong was in a terrible mood, a feeling he had never experienced before.
There's been absolutely no word from these people! Their purpose is unknown, their whereabouts are unknown.
They couldn't even find out anything about their own people!
He thought and thought, considering everyone and everything, and finally realized that the one who kidnapped Ji Wushang must be Yiyun Shangcheng.
But how do I find him? Nan Xuzong stood up. Beigong Minhao had told him about the underground palace today, so he would go find it now!
Just then, a maid rushed in from outside, "Master."
"Speak!" Nan Xuzong went into the inner room instead. He carefully looked around and then took out a lot of medicine.
"The Seventh Princess wants you to go see her; it seems her leg is bleeding." The maidservant spoke, trembling with fear.
The disappearance of the Fourth Imperial Consort at the September Pavilion today has given Nan Xuzong a real headache, but he can't afford to offend the Seventh Princess, so he can only report to Nan Xuzong to see what to do.
"Let Physician Li take a look!" Nan Xuzong sneered. If he were to go see her himself, he would surely kill her! This was already troublesome enough, and now she was trying to fool him like this?
"Yes." The maid immediately bowed her head and quickly retreated.
Nan Xuzong changed into a black robe, with a soft sword at his waist, and gold thread still wrapped around his hand.
Just then, Gong Shu rushed in from outside, shouting, "Master!"
