The Saintess’ carriage happened to stop near a fork in the road.

Wei Xu did not meet her. Instead, he turned the corner and ran away through another path.

In order to save Cheng Qingxue, the Holy Maiden had not slept for the entire night and exhausted a large amount of vitality. She was a little dispirited.

Therefore, she did not pay attention to Wei Xu.

When Emissary Lu went to the location of the battle to investigate, she found out that the envoy of the Great Zhou had arrived.

At the entrance of the palace, the princess was kidnapped.

She suddenly realized that it might be the person who rode the horse just now. Unfortunately, the other party had already gone far away and could not catch up.

On the other side, Xie Jinnian looked at Emissary Lui s departing back and thought of the Saintess he had mentioned. He suddenly remembered where the feeling of déjå vu cfrom.

Wasn’t the person who snatched the Great Zhou Princess Wei Xu, who had been missing for many days?

In the Southern Wilderness, the number of people who had seen Wei Xu’s true appearance could be counted on one hand. Other than the Saintess and her trusted aides, there was only the King of the southern border and his trusted aides.

Xie Jinnian was one of them.

He glanced at the minister of the Honglu Temple who was panting as he walked over.

Halfway there, a guard of the Great Zhou cforward and whispered in his ear.

The minister’s expression changed. “Are you sure you didn’t see wrongly?”

The guard hesitated for a moment and said seriously, “I’m not sure. That person’s movement technique is too fast. There was sflour on his face. I didn’t see it clearly. I just feel that he looks a little like General Wei Xu.”

The minister fell into deep thought.

If it was Wei Xu, why did he take Princess Hui An away?

He even injured so many Great Zhou guards.

This didn’t seem like something he would do.

Wei Ting had once announced in the throne room that Wei Xu had been captured by the people of the Southern Wilderness. Although he had not publicized it among the commoners, the minister of the Honglu Temple, who was an official of the Imperial Court, knew.

“So Wei Xu is still alive… No, we can’t be sure that that person is Wei Xu yet.”

“Lord Wang.”

Xie Jinnian walked over.

Wuhu had already landed on his shoulder and obediently sat still.

The minister of the Honglu Temple had just arrived in the capital and had yet to meet Xie Jinnian.

Xie Jinnian had deduced his identity based on his official uniform.

Xie Jinnian was dressed as an eunuch, but he was handsand tall. His aura was dazzling.

The minister of Honglu Temple was thinking about who the other party was when a royal guard from the Southern Wilderness greeted Xie Jinnian. “Eunuch

Jin.”

Xie Jinnian nodded.

The minister of the Honglu Temple had done his homework. Along the way, he had been collecting information about the bureaucracy of the Southern Wilderness, including the four great families and eight tribes, as well as the popular person with the Southern Wilderness King.

The Honglu Temple minister cupped his hands. “So it’s Eunuch Jin.”

Xie Jinnian cupped his hands and bowed. “Lord Wang, you don’t have to be so polite. What happened today was our mistake. I will report it to His Majesty. I believe His Majesty will definitely mobilize his elites to save the Princess of the Great Zhou as soon as possible.”

The minister replied worriedly, “Thank you.”

Suddenly, the Great Zhou guard leaned over and whispered something to the Honglu Temple minister.

The minister of Honglu Temple looked at Xie Jinnian suspiciously. “My subordinates heard that that person pointed out the Saintess as the mastermind. Is that true?”

Xie Jinnian said calmly, “That person did say that. Whether it is a false accusation or the truth, we will definitely give the Great Zhou an explanation after investigation.”

Half an hour later, in a side hall of the Southern Wilderness palace, the Saintess met the King of the Southern Wilderness.

The King of the Southern Wilderness dismissed the palace servants and guards, leaving only Xie Jinnian present.

Xie Jinnian reported everything to the King of the Southern Wilderness, including Wei Xu’s accusation of the Saintess.

If it were anyone else, they might not have the confidence to accuse the Saintess. Even if they did, they would have to weigh their tone or polish it a little—perhaps they had heard wrongly.

Xie Jinnian would not.

What he said was obvious.

He even explained that Wei Xu had slipped away under the Saintess’s nose.

The King of the Southern Wilderness sat on a chair shrouded in twilight and asked the Saintess in a low voice, “What do you have to say?”

The Saintess had a headache.

Why had there been so many troublesthings recently?

There had just been a scandal at home, and she had entered the palace to take the blame…

The Saintess frowned and said, “Your Majesty, I didn’t know that person was Wei Xu.”

The King of the Southern Wilderness said sternly, “He went past your carriage. Do you dare to say that you didn’t see him?”

The Saintess said, “I haven’t recovered from my injuries and haven’t slept all night. I was resting in the carriage with my eyes closed and didn’t pay attention.”

This was the truth.

If she had known that the person was Wei Xu, she would have long controlled him. How could she let him slip away?

The King’s sharp gaze landed on the Saintess’ face as if he was judging the authenticity of her words.

Xie Jinnian said nothing.

When it was tto speak, he would not hesitate. When he shouldn’t say anything, he would definitely not say anything.

The King of the Southern Wilderness said calmly, “Didn’t you say that Wei Xu has lost his speech?”

After taking the medicine, the puppets of the Saint Lady Temple would gradually lose their emotions and ability to speak like normal people until it finally beca walking corpse.

This process would take at least half a year, and at most no more than two years.

However, Wei Xu had been taking medicine for five years and could still speak…

The King of the Southern Wilderness asked suspiciously, “Did you really not hold back on Wei Xu?”

The Saintess replied calmly, “I promise you that I treat Wei Xu the sas other puppets. It’s just Wei Xu’s strength is extraordinary. You know his situation.”

The King of the Southern Wilderness said in a low voice, “In that case, you can’t even control your own puppet?”

The Saintess said, “No. My flute is effective on Wei Xu. If not for the Jade-faced Rakshasa’s interference last time, I would have summoned Wei Xu back. Without the medicine, Wei Xu will suffer withdrawal and torture every day. He won’t be able to last long. He will take the initiative to look forsooner or later. ”

The King of the Southern Wilderness said with dignity, “I don’t want to hear such words a third time.’

The Saintess said seriously, “There won’t be a third time. Next time, I’ll definitely personally bring Wei Xu to His Majesty.”

The King of the Southern Wilderness reminded her, “Wei Xu is very dangerous. If he didn’t lose his words, it’s very likely that he didn’t lose all his memories. If he remembers who he is and meets with the officials of the Great Zhou, you won’t be able to assassinate him.”

The Saintess paused. “I understand. I’ll quickly recall him so that he can never appear in front of the Great Zhou officials.” The King of the Southern Border waved his hand.

The Saintess left.

Only the King of the Southern Wilderness and Xie Jinnian were left in the hall.

The King of the Southern Wilderness asked, “Jinnian, what do you think?”

Xie Jinnian told the truth. “What happened today confirms that Wei Xu is different from other puppets. Jinnian dares to guess that the Saintess has kept something from His Majesty.”

The appearance of the King of the Southern Wilderness was hidden in the dark, making it impossible to see his expression.

He only gently rubbed the armrest of the chair and said nothing else.

On the other hand, no one knew where Wei Xu had gone.

Ever since the range of his activity expanded, the three brothers wanted to watch him, but who could?

Night fell.

Su Xuan returned to his room and looked at the Rakshasa Sword on the table.

He reached out and hesitated to hold it.

Suddenly, the door was kicked open.

One long leg froze in midair, maintaining the posture of kicking the door.

Su Xuan frowned and instantly entered a defensive state. He turned around with boundless internal strength.

Wei Xu stopped at the door.

He retracted his leg that was kicking the door.

Perhaps realizing that he had kicked the door wrongly, he darted his eyes guiltily and grabbed someone from behind him.

He carried her shoulders and gently placed her into the room before grinning at Su Xuan.

It was as if he was saying, “Found her. Here you go..”
