Chapter 239

Xie Rugu seemed to feel the murderous look in Song Shiyun's eyes. He raised his hands and smiled lightly, "I think the atmosphere is too serious. I'm just teasing my second sister. Don't be angry. Don't be angry."

Song Shiyun: "..."

Look at me, do I look like I want to make a joke?

Xie Rugu smiled ingratiatingly, as if asking Song Shiyun not to be angry.

Song Shiyun closed his eyes, knowing that it was useless to argue with Xie Ru at this time.

Seemingly feeling that her attitude had relaxed, Xie Rugu looked at the corpse, reached out and poked it, "This dear friend, it seems that he died miserably."

Hearing this, Song Shiyun hummed deeply, "He has many wounds on his body, and...it seems like his essence has been sucked dry."

Xie Rugu raised his head and looked at her, "Where did this body come from?"

Song Shiyun glanced at him and said, "The eldest princess has Zhuangzi nearby. Hasn't the prince heard that there is an Izumo nunnery nearby?"

Xie Ru raised his eyebrows, "Izumo-an, nunnery? I've never heard of it."

Song Shiyun squinted his eyes, as if examining whether Xie Rugu's words were true or false.

To be honest, what Xie Rugu said just now seemed like a casual excuse.

I don’t care whether the eldest princess has Zhuangzi nearby.

Even if there was, it still couldn't be explained why Xie Ru stayed up most of the night and appeared here wearing black clothes.

Who would dress like this when going to a hot spring?

What's more, there are no traces of other human habitation near this mountain forest.

Even if the eldest princess' Zhuangzi is somewhere else nearby, it is definitely not close to here.

How did he hear the noise here and come here?

Song Shiyun always felt that something was wrong.

Xie Ru was stared at by her, as if she didn't know what was going on, and looked at Song Shiyun with a confused and obedient expression.

Seeing this, Song Shiyun didn't know what to say.

Forget it.

Now is not the time to talk about this.

Song Shiyun glanced halfway up the hillside. There were still lights lingering in the distance, but it seemed that they had gone further and further away. They probably wouldn't be back in a short time. Now was a good opportunity to escape.

Song Shiyun withdrew his gaze, looked at Xie Rugu, and then lowered his voice and said, "Since the prince can appear here silently, he should know of a place where he can leave here, right?"

Xie Rugu understood that Song Shiyun's suspicion was still lingering, so he curled his lips and said, "Of course, I know a road that can go through the mountains and forests, directly to Pingning Village, and then leave from Pingning Village. It shouldn't be difficult. After all, I don't think so. There will be people who are bold enough to stop Princess Hengyang’s driving.”

This is a good idea.

Song Shiyun followed the good example and said, "Then please help me, Prince Master."

Hearing this, Xie Rugu chuckled lightly and looked into Song Shiyun's eyes, "Does the second sister owe me another favor?"

Song Shiyun: "..."

She found that this man was not only talkative, but also liked to settle accounts.

Facing Song Shiyun's helpless eyes, Xie Rugu smiled and said, "Did I say something wrong?"

Song Shiyun smiled slightly, "Yes, I understand. I owe you a favor, okay?"

Xie Ru raised his eyebrows.

Song Shiyun took a deep breath, "Then can we leave now, Prince?"

Xie Rugu chuckled lightly, "Okay."

Song Shiyun breathed a sigh of relief and was about to move the body.

Xie Ru held her hand and said, "I'll do it."

He walked over and picked up the body.

Song Shiyun thought to himself, this person is not without merit.

She is not physically strong enough, and if someone is willing to do hard work, she will naturally not refuse.

Song Shiyun followed Xie Rugu and walked along the hillside towards a trail.

This is said to be a trail, but there are basically no traces of people walking on it.The ground is full of jagged rocks and weeds.

It seemed that the way was blocked by these things, and everyone subconsciously avoided it, so no one knew where this road led.

Climb over the hillside and go around a forest.

Song Shiyun followed Xie Rugu, and not long after he left, the vision in front of him suddenly became clear.

Not far away, a Zhuangzi did appear.

At first glance, there are a lot of lights on Zhuangzi. Judging from the area covered by those lights, it seems that the place in front of Zhuangzi is not small, and the surrounding environment is also very good.

It really looks like Zhuangzi, the eldest princess of Hengyang.

Xie Rugu took Song Shiyun, and as soon as he walked to Zhuangzi, someone came to greet him, "Master Shizi——"

Walking over was a young man dressed in casual clothes, probably Xie Rugu's servant.

He came up to him and bowed respectfully, then noticed Song Shiyun and Xie Rugu's things on his shoulders.

He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and whispered: "Sir, you... this is..."

"Oh, it's a little thing." Xie Rugu said nonchalantly: "It's not worth mentioning. There's no need to tell mother."

The boy swallowed and said, "Yes, then..."

What should we do now?
Xie Rugu calmly handed the body to the boy, "Take it back to my carriage and don't let anyone find it."

The boy held the body, his eyebrows twitching, as if he didn't expect that he was so lucky to be assigned such a glorious task, "Your Majesty, this..."

Xie Rugu knew what he wanted to say and said directly: "Go if you are told."

What else could the boy say, he could only swallow the words that came to his lips, "Yes."

Seeing him walking away, Xie Rugu looked at Song Shiyun again, "Second sister, are you alone today and breaking into Chuyun Nunnery? Is there anyone to respond? Do you want to inform them?"

"Logically speaking, Ye Shoufu should have sent someone to wait for me at the foot of the mountain, but I can't leave now." Song Shiyun's face darkened, "I may have to go back to Izumo Temple."

Xie Rugu raised his eyebrows, "You want to go back to Izumo Temple?"

Song Shiyun nodded, "I ran away. They will find a way to get rid of the evidence. I have to go back. By the way, I rescued a witness from Izumo Temple. I may need the help of the Crown Prince to bring her out. ."

Hearing this, Xie Rugu looked at Song Shiyun and suddenly smiled playfully, "Ye Shoufu, witnesses, evidence...Second sister, you seem to have caused a big incident tonight."

Song Shiyun didn't have time to explain to Xie Rugu, "I can only explain it to the prince after the matter is over. Now I hope that the prince will help to rescue the person, and then use the car of the eldest princess to drive the person first." Send it to Ye Shoufu’s home.”

Hearing this, Xie Rugu did not refuse, "Where is that person now?"

Song Shiyun: "There is a cave in a forest on the left side of the mountain road. I made a simple barrier at the entrance of the cave."

Song Shiyun described the specific location to Xie Rugu and asked Xie Rugu to rescue Jiang Yixue.

She still has confidence in her barrier.

The people in Izumoan probably haven’t discovered Jiang Yixue’s existence yet.

Xie Ruji had a special status. If he went to rescue Jiang Yixue, even if he was discovered by the people of Izumo Temple, they would not dare to do anything in front of Xie Ruji.

Thinking of this, Song Shiyun added: "When you go to rescue people, the prince remembers to bring more people and something that can show his identity."

Xie Rugu raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, "Second sister has arranged everything so quickly? But, I have no intention of promising all this to second sister."

Song Shiyun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He looked at Xie Rugu in astonishment, not quite understanding why Xie Rugu said that.

However, she also didn't understand why she seemed to instinctively believe that Xie Rugu would agree.

But in fact, whether Xie Rugu agrees or not depends entirely on his mood.

Thinking of this, Song Shiyun frowned, not sure when he had trusted Xie Rugu so blindly.

But now is not the time to ponder these questions.

She looked at Xie Rugu and said sincerely: "I don't want to trouble the prince if it is not necessary, but things are a bit complicated now, and I hope that the prince will agree."

With that said, Song Shiyun bowed to Xie Rugu in a polite manner.

Xie Rugu immediately raised his hand to block her arm, "I didn't let you do this, I was just teasing you. Your temper is too unruly. Don't worry, I will send someone to rescue the person you mentioned. But if you want to go to Izumo-an, I must go with you."

Song Shiyun was surprised again, "You want to go with me?"

The smile on Xie Ru's face became much lighter and became more serious, "It's too dangerous for you to go alone. It's safer if I follow you."
