Chapter 228
Xia Xiaowei put on her clothes, simply tied her hair up, and walked out from behind the bed curtain.

Bei Qinghan glanced at her, and ordered in a frosty tone: "Follow me back to the palace."

Xia Xiaowei fought hard: "I really can't go back to the palace with you."

Bei Qinghan was too lazy to talk to her, and only left a word.

"If you don't want the Celestial Dynasty to start a war with the Snow Mountain Clan, just go back obediently."

Then, ignoring Xia Xiaowei, she strode out of the room and stood on the steps in front of the house, looking at the distant mountains in front of her with ups and downs.

This is a private house located in the suburbs, not big, with three rooms and a small courtyard.

The walls are painted with tiles, and the floor is paved with bluestone slabs.

In the courtyard grew a big banyan tree with two people hugging each other, with dense branches and leaves, which sheltered the whole small courtyard in his arms.

The air is fresh and intoxicating, quiet and clear, it is indeed a good place to live in seclusion.

Bei Qinghan's mood was not at all calm because of this environment.

Yesterday, at dusk, as soon as he returned to Longyuan Palace, he saw Jin Zhu standing at the door with an anxious expression on his face.

He had an intuition that something had happened, and it was related to Xia Xiaowei, so his heartbeat inevitably accelerated.

Because, if there is no important matter, Jin Zhu will not come here to wait for him.

Sure enough, when he got out of the car and asked about Jin Zhu, Jin Zhu wrung his hands and replied, "Your Majesty, it's too bad, Your Highness hasn't returned to the palace yet."

"What did you say?"

Bei Qinghan pulled Jinzhu aside, avoiding everyone's eyes and ears, and asked her.

"What happened? How did she come out of the palace?"

Jin Zhu reported: "In the morning, Your Highness said that she had something to go out of the palace, so we all stayed in the palace, and she went out by herself. It was agreed to return at noon, but until now, the door of the inner court is about to be closed, Your Highness Haven't come back yet."

"She didn't say what to do?"

"No."

Bei Qinghan was anxious and annoyed.

Xiao Wei knew that there was a strong enemy who wanted to assassinate her, but she dared to go out of the palace alone, did she die?

He asked Jin Zhu a few more questions about the situation, but Jin Zhu didn't know much and couldn't provide any clues.

Bei Qinghan didn't dare to waste time, so he hurriedly mobilized his trusted guards to look for Xia Xiaowei outside the palace.

He also quickly changed into casual clothes and went out of the palace to look for it himself.
