Chapter 607: Du Gong Was Abducted

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The group of people escorting Du Gong through the streets as a public spectacle were bailiffs from the Grand Court, possessing some skills, but not exceptionally strong.

The Emperor was unaware, and the Chief Justice of the Grand Court couldn’t antic.i.p.ate that someone would attempt to rescue the prisoner. So, despite the efforts of these officials and soldiers, they were still defeated by the black-clad figures. Seven or eight of them were killed, and Du Gong was abducted!

When Huangfu Lingyao noticed something was wrong, he was holding a frozen chicken egg. Without hesitation, he hurled the ice-cold egg at the black-clad individuals!

His aim was accurate, but the force was insufficient.

Li Xin finally spotted him, still throwing eggs, feeling utterly speechless. He quickly rushed over and grabbed Huangfu Lingyao. “Your Highness, should we intervene?”

Huangfu Lingyao knew he couldn’t step forward himself, so he said, “You go, don’t let Du Gong escape! If necessary, eliminate him on the spot!”

Li Xin really wanted to ask: What if he escapes?

But time was of the essence. If he continued questioning, Du Gong might have been successfully rescued. Suppressing his talkative nature, he swiftly stood up and chased after them.

Meanwhile, Huangfu Lingyao, left with nothing to see, turned back towards Fusheng Pavilion.

As he turned, he happened to see Zhong Lang.

Zhong Lang stood alone, like a proud rooster, on top of a nearby shop’s flagpole, using his gaze to search for Huangfu Lingyao and Mo’er.

Huangfu Lingyao was tall and handsome, so Zhong Lang spotted him at a glance. He climbed down and asked, “Your Highness, where is Mo’er?”

“Mo’er? I have no idea!” Huangfu Lingyao genuinely didn’t know. He was too focused on smas.h.i.+ng that old scoundrel Du Gong; he hadn’t considered where Mo’er might have gone.

Seeing Zhong Lang, his heart skipped a beat: “Did he see my behavior just now?”

But Zhong Lang didn’t mention any of that. Instead, he said, “There’s someone who hijacked the prisoner’s carriage. Eldest Miss asked me to find you. The crowd is too chaotic. My Lord, please go inside this shop and wait. Zhong will find Mo’er and then come to meet you.”

Huangfu Lingyao sneered, “I don’t want to! I’ll go find Wife myself!”

After saying that, he turned and ran.

Zhong Lang didn’t chase him but watched his figure from behind, seeing him walk towards the direction of the Fusheng Pavilion. He then looked down at the damaged ice chicken eggs rolling on the ground, thinking, “Is he really foolish, or is he pretending to be foolish?”

It’s not that he hadn’t thought about warning Liu s.h.i.+mei, but…

Thinking carefully about his understanding of their relations.h.i.+p, Liu s.h.i.+mei was doting on King Dun Yu, but King Dun Yu’s feelings for Liu s.h.i.+mei were genuine as well.

Thinking further, Liu s.h.i.+mei had absolute trust in Huangfu Lingyao. Reminding her might not have any effect.

After several considerations, Zhong Lang decided to find Mo’er first.

Of course, Huangfu Lingyao couldn’t be in any danger in such a crowd. He quickly returned to the Fusheng Pavilion and saw a figure standing on the steps at the entrance, looking worried and scanning the surroundings anxiously, hands tightly clasped together!

Clearly, she was worried and nervous!

“Wife!” He immediately rushed towards her.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Liu s.h.i.+mei turned her head and indeed saw her silly puppy bounding towards her with agile steps!

As he approached, he opened his arms to embrace her, but she quickly reminded him, “Don’t exert too much force. Your injury just healed; don’t make big movements.”

Huangfu Lingyao had already opened his arms, intending to lift his wife up and spin her around. However, her words stopped him in his tracks, leaving him in an awkward situation.

He looked at her with a wry smile, “Wife, can I be gentle? Can I?”
