Seeing that Lu Yiheng looked unwell, "Cousin... what's wrong?"
"You have the nerve to ask me what happened? Why don't you think about the mess you've made first! What are you standing there for? Hand over that woman!"
Lu Yaoguang looked completely innocent. "Cousin, I..."
When he saw me, his expression immediately changed.
"Cousin, it's him! He's the one who hit me! You have to teach him a lesson!"
Chapter 12 The Special Fifth Princess
Lu Yiheng kicked him again without any mercy, "You still have the nerve to yell at me here? Hand over the person right now!!"
Lu Yaoguang looked pitiful: "Cousin...it's not that I don't want to hand the person over to you, it's just that...the person isn't with me!"
Seeing that her cousin was about to explode again, she quickly wailed, "I didn't lie to you..."
A servant behind him chimed in, "Our young master is telling the truth; that courtesan is indeed not here..."
Me: "What's going on?"
Lu Yiheng: “You all need to explain the matter clearly and in detail.”
Lu Yaoguang said with a bitter face, "I was already in a bad mood because this brat beat me up. So I gathered a bunch of guys, thinking that no matter what, we had to bring that woman home..."
Watch your mouth.
Lu Yaoguang was so startled that he stopped for a moment and stared at Lu Yiheng.
"He's my friend." At my prompting, he didn't reveal my identity.
“Yes, yes. This young master…” he continued, “I led her into the street, and she kept screaming. I got impatient and slapped her. She cried so much that it annoyed me to no end, and I was about to have her gagged when a woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere, along with a rather formidable man with a sword. They knocked my men down in an instant and took her away.”
"Then who exactly took her away?"
Lu Yiheng, "Any distinguishing features?"
Lu Yaoguang thought for a while, "The woman was wearing high-quality clothes, so she must be from a wealthy family. And the man was wearing a black lotus robe, and that..." Suddenly he thought of something, "His hair covered half of his face, and you could vaguely see a bluish mark on the half that was covered."
Seeing Lu Yiheng's expression change slightly, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Yiheng said calmly, "I know who it is."
"Come on, follow me to the palace."
I understood a bit better. "They're from the palace?"
Lu Yiheng nodded. "Based on his description, it's most likely the Fifth Princess."
"The Fifth Princess?"
"Yes, the Fifth Princess's mother is Consort Li, who is a princess from a different ethnic group. The Fifth Princess dresses rather strangely and doesn't like to stay in the palace. She always likes to play pranks. Later, she obtained an imperial edict from the Emperor, which allowed her to travel freely inside and outside the palace. So she often leaves the palace and also likes to do some chivalrous things."
I nodded knowingly. That way, I wouldn't be so worried about Que'er.
As I watched the Fourth Prince approach, my lips twitched.
"The Fifth Princess is behaving erratically; it would be better to summon the Fourth Prince instead."
I nodded.
Dugu Ziyi remained expressionless. "Let's go."
As soon as I arrived at the palace gate, I could feel the princess's unique aura.
The plants by the entrance have grown several meters tall, completely blocking the doorway. How can anyone get in?
Looking at Dugu Jing.
He suddenly took out a gold leaf from his sleeve, and with a slight flick of his wrist, the gold leaf flew in.
Suddenly, a head popped out from the green vines on one side.
"It's the Fourth Prince! Come in quickly." She glanced happily at the gold leaf in her hand and bit it. Her eyes crinkled into a smile.
Lu Yiheng and I followed him inside, feeling somewhat uneasy.
"Fourth Brother..."
A tinkling sound and a fragrant breeze.
I suddenly stepped back, a bad omen.
The fifth princess emerged wearing long-sleeved lantern pants and a small felt hat with feathers on her head.
It's just...
"It's you!" Her eyes lit up.
Dugu Meila's expression changed. "What are you doing here?"
Dugu Jing: "I need someone from you."
"No." He turned his head to the side.
Lu Yiheng lowered his head and asked, "Little girl, how do you know the Fifth Princess?"
Somewhat helplessly, I recounted the story of meeting the Fifth Princess at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion that day, but omitted the fact that the Hundred Flowers Pavilion had come under my control.
Raising an eyebrow with a smile, she muttered to herself, "Little girl, you've got quite the charm." "I've never managed to make a man fall in love at first sight..."
I ignored him and stared at the two people standing silently.
I stepped forward. "Fourth Prince, will the Fifth Princess give it to me?"
Dugu Jing didn't look at me. "Fifth Sister, what are your requests?"
Dugu Meila's expression changed instantly, showing a hint of excitement. She turned her head.
Looking into her intense gaze, I nervously hiccuped.
What's your name?
"Liu Feiyue".
Dugu Meila looked me over and said, "What a pity..."
I looked up at Dugu Jing.
Me: "Fourth Prince, are you trying to sell me out?"
Lu Yiheng hurriedly said, "You can't do anything to our girl!"
Dugu Meila glanced at him sideways and said, "Who brought this cross-dresser in? Throw him out."
Then they heard Lu Yiheng howling.
I was somewhat surprised that the term "cross-dresser" existed in ancient times.
I announced loudly, "Beijing welcomes you..."
Dugu Meila was startled and looked at Dugu Jing, "Fourth Brother, you gave me an idiot?"
I persisted, refusing to give up, "Goodmo, you..."
Dugu Meila's expression grew increasingly grim. "She's so stupid she can't even speak human language anymore."
I was devastated. "Princess, you really don't understand?"
"It also seems..."
I felt as if I'd been electrocuted, for the first time. "Fourth Prince, you..."
The excitement of seeing loved ones...
Dugu Jing's expression didn't change much. "It was taught by Consort Li."
Could it be...?
"Fifth Princess, where is Consort Li? I really, really want to see her."
Dugu Meila chuckled, "Forget about it. My mother died four years ago..."
Dead...dead.
