Le charme d'une femme puissante se répand à travers le monde - Chapitre 83
"Night Wind, think of something, think of something, there must be other ways." I grabbed his hand, panicking for a moment. It's a miracle that she's held on this long, doesn't that mean Xi Lan is in great danger? What should I do? What should I do now?
"Does the young master still remember Yun Bai?"
Night Breeze's words gave me a jolt. Little White?
"Isn't this the young palace master? Why are you dressed like this? I almost didn't recognize you. What? Is the young palace master trying to change his appearance and start a new life? Or is reality too harsh, and he's using this disguise to conceal his identity?"
That day in Youzhou, Li Yubin, who was supposedly a guest of the Crown Prince Xiu Ruo, heard Yun Bai's words echoing in his mind. Could it be...?
It took me a full three seconds to find my voice, and I asked incredulously, "Xiao Ye, could Xiao Bai be the young master of the Xuanming Palace?"
I saw the night wind nod without hesitation.
"Little White knows the Xuanbing Palm?" I swallowed hard again.
"He has the Xuanbing Sword, so he should know the Xuanbing Palm." Even so, judging from Ye Feng's expression, it was clear that he was absolutely certain that Xiao Bai knew the Xuanbing Palm.
Yun Bai's long, smooth, double-edged sword, thin as a cicada's wing and gleaming with a cold, eerie light, reappeared in my mind. Was this the Xuanbing Sword? No wonder it felt cold when I saw it, and Xiao Bai's hands were cold too, and Xiao Bai's whole being seemed cold. But Xiao Bai disappeared without a trace after I confessed to him at Xilan Palace that day, and I haven't done what I promised him yet.
"But Xiaobai has lost contact with me..." I stopped mid-sentence. Xiaobai is the Second Prince, something Fox and Yefeng knew all along. That stinky fox had a change of heart and didn't let Yefeng do anything underhanded, but he would definitely have someone watching Xiaobai, right? I quickly asked, "Does Yefeng know Xiaobai's whereabouts?"
He nodded, but his expression became even more hesitant.
"Night Breeze, let's go find Xiaobai now." I took his hand and started to walk out.
Night Wind remained still, glanced at me again, and said with a hint of difficulty, "Young Master, he is currently at the Moon Gazing Palace."
Wangyue Palace? How come Xiaobai is at Wangyue Palace? Did he later impersonate Wangyue's envoy's attendant and follow him all the way here?
"Night Wind, then go to the palace tonight. Just tell Xiao Bai that I need his help and that you must find him no matter what." I looked at Xi Lan on the bed, then at Night Wind in front of me. Xiao Bai was in the palace, so there was no way I could go to find him. I could only rely on Night Wind.
"Aren't you worried, young master?" Ye Feng asked, looking at me.
Are you worried about Xiaobai? Are you worried that Xiaobai, now staying in Wangyue Palace, is no longer the same Xiaobai? But given the current situation, no matter how worried you are, you still have to try and fight for it.
I casually took off an earring and handed it to Ye Feng: "This is Xi Lan's only hope right now, which is why you told me about Xiao Bai. If you run into trouble tonight, take this earring and go find Wang An, who helped us leave that night. Xiao Ye, you must be careful. Even with Xiao Bai and Wang An, you must be wary and prioritize your own safety."
Night Breeze glanced at me, put away the earrings, and turned to leave.
Ye Feng's concerns weren't unfounded, but this was the only option at the moment. Xi Lan's health couldn't be delayed, which was probably why he looked hesitant earlier. The Fiery Palm wound on Xi Lan's body was inflicted by someone sent by Wang Yue Zong Ning. I couldn't be sure what the relationship was between Xuanming Palace and Wang Yue Zong Ning, and with Xiao Bai currently in the Wang Yue Imperial Palace, although I didn't want to suspect him, our time together was short and our separation long, and I had wronged him before. So, whether it was Xiao Bai or Wang An, the situation was already too complicated, and being cautious was definitely the right thing to do. But now, Xiao Bai was my only hope, and no matter what, I had to try my best.
I kept wiping Xilan's body, and the doctors outside brought in more medicine. I fed it to Xilan, and then it got dark. The person on the bed was still burning up, and apart from the occasional groan that seemed to be unable to bear it, she remained unconscious.
"Xi Lan, do you know? The three armies have reached the palace. If all goes well, they will breach the palace tomorrow, the great battle will be a success, and we can return in triumph." I sat on the edge of the bed and spoke softly to the person on it. This was the news I had just received. Although Xi Lan was still unconscious, I felt that he could hear me.
"Xi Lan, what will you do after you go back? You said you want revenge, but what will happen after you get revenge? Will you be unable to escape Father's arrangements? Is the life of an emperor what you want? Speaking of Father, he is really a bit scary. But let me tell you a secret, no matter how scary Father is, he is not as scary as my own father, hehe."
"Xi Lan, your martial arts are so good, who is your master? Can you introduce me? I also want to learn martial arts. That way, my success rate will be higher next time I run away."
“Xi Lan…”
...
Xilan, I'm so sleepy. We rushed all the way here and didn't get a break even when we arrived. Let me just close my eyes for a bit.
"master."
It sounded like someone was gently calling my name from the side. Master? Who would call me that?
"Xiaobai!" I suddenly opened my eyes, jumped up, and turned around to look behind me.
Standing behind him were Ye Feng, Wu Yin, and Xiao Bai, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
"Xiao Bai, is it really you?" I ran over and grabbed his hand while crying and laughing. It really is Xiao Bai, it really is Xiao Bai.
"It's me, Master." He grasped my hand in return. He hadn't changed much; he was still thin, his hands were still cold, and his voice was still somewhat cold, except that his hair had grown quite a bit.
"You're still willing to call me master?" Why? Why is he still willing to call me master after what I did to him? I thought he would hate me, and even if he didn't take revenge, he definitely wouldn't want to have any more entanglement with me.
He didn't speak, but just glanced at the night wind and let go of her hand.
"Xiao Bai, would you be willing to help me with this?" I turned to look at the white figure lying on the bed, stared into Yun Bai's eyes, and asked solemnly.
He also looked in Xi Lan's direction, but did not nod in agreement for a moment.

"Night Wind, Wu Yin, you two can leave now." I gestured for the two to leave. Night Wind didn't say anything, just glanced at me before turning and leaving. Wu Yin looked at Xiao Bai, clearly still hesitant, then looked at me. I gave him a reassuring smile, and he finally turned and left.
"Xiao Bai, please save Xi Lan!" Xiao Bai was in the Wangyue Imperial Palace. If he were on Wangyue Zong Ning's side, he definitely wouldn't save Xi Lan. But judging from his and Ye Feng's appearance, it seemed that he had rushed over with Ye Feng without even lifting a finger.
He glanced at the person on the bed again, who seemed displeased.
"Xiao Bai?" I said mournfully. I know what kind of person Xiao Bai is, and besides, although Xi Lan and Xiao Bai had met before, it wasn't a happy occasion. But now, I have no other choice but to beg Xiao Bai.
He looked at me and finally nodded.
"Xiaobai, is there anything we need to prepare? The doctor said Xilan's condition can't be delayed any longer." I didn't bother to ask Xiaobai what she was doing at Wangyue Palace. I just believed that since Xiaobai had agreed, she wouldn't lie to me or play any tricks. Xilan could be saved.
"Just don't let anyone disturb me. I have to go back early tomorrow morning." He walked to the bedside, looked at Xi Lan, then glanced at the basin in the room, reached out and removed the cotton cloth I had placed on Xi Lan's forehead, and casually tossed it into the basin.
Do we have to go back first thing tomorrow morning? What exactly is Xiaobai doing at Wangyue Palace?
