The Elegance of the Emperor: The Little Wife of the Wolf King

Chapter 159　
Steward Lin frowned, comforted Murong Jing and said, "I'll send someone out to inquire again! Don't worry, they might be back soon!" After speaking, he hurried out.

Murong Jing looked at Guanshi Lin's back in a hurry, she felt very bad, she turned her head and said to Toya: "Tuoya, send someone out of the palace to invite General Yelu over, just say that I have something important to talk to He negotiated and asked him to come over overnight!"

"Okay!" Toya nodded and turned to leave.

Murong was sitting in the room quietly, the candlelight was dancing, and her heart could not be calm.How much she wished that the bell on the wall would ring once, and her son and daughter would come out of the secret passage together, but the room was very quiet, there was no sound at all, this kind of silence was like a tide, constantly rushing towards Murong Jing, as if It was about to engulf her in an instant, making her feel like she couldn't breathe.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the palace was still silent, and there was still no news of the two children.Murong Jing began to think wildly, imagining all kinds of situations that might happen to the two of them outside, the more she thought about it, the more flustered she became, how could she sit still, and walked up and down in the room in a panic.

Suddenly there was finally a sound of footsteps in the yard, Murong Jing thought it was Yu'er who had come back, and rushed out to greet her.

"Yu'er, Yu'er!" Murong Jing shouted loudly and ran out.

"Sister-in-law, it's me!" Yelufeng flashed out of the darkness with his guards, and through the dim light in the courtyard, Murong Jing saw clearly that the person who entered the courtyard was not Yu'er but Yelufeng.

"Sister-in-law!" Yelu Feng shouted again, seeing Murong Jing running out of the room in a hurry, he took a few steps to meet her.

"Ah Feng, think of a way quickly, the child is gone!" Murong Jing saw Yelufeng and grabbed Yelufeng's sleeve, tears began to roll in her eyes.She is in a state of confusion right now, not knowing what to do.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry! I've already sent someone to look for it! It's okay, so two older children, how could they say they are gone? They must have gone out for fun!" Yelufeng supported Murong Jing, and helped her to the Sit down in the room.

"How come you won't come at this time after playing? Yu'er has always been sensible and won't let me worry about it!" Murong Jing looked at Yelufeng and asked.

"That kid can't be playful!" Although Yelufeng said so, but thinking of the night Murong Jing gave birth, Yu'er and Yaya came back in the early morning. Now thinking about it, they were very suspicious at the time. doing what?Why is it so late?
Yelufeng just thought about it in his heart, but didn't say what was in his heart. He comforted Murong Jing to sit down, and then accompanied Murong Jing in the room waiting for the news.

The candles were about to burn out, and the two still didn't come back. The people sent by Lin Guanshi and Yelufeng all came back, and they had already gone to the homes of the young masters who had a good time with Yu'er in Rongcheng. Well, these people haven't seen Yu'er during this time.

After a sleepless night, Murong sat there crying, his eyes were swollen from crying, Yelufeng anxiously rubbed his hands and walked back and forth in the room.

"Sister-in-law, give me the servants who usually follow Yu'er. I'll ask in person, maybe I can find something!" Yelufeng stepped forward and said to Murongjing with a sullen face.

Murong Jing didn't speak, and pointed to Tuoya behind her, Tuoya nodded towards Yelufeng, and then led Yelufeng out.

The palace was already in chaos, and the palace people were being questioned one by one by the guards of the forbidden army. The news that Mr. Yu'er and Princess Heshuo had disappeared had already spread in the palace.

The people in the Khan Palace still called Yu'er the young master, and Murong Jing the Yan family. Murong Jing didn't ask them to change, so the palace people still called it that way.

When everyone in the Khan Palace was busy worrying about Yu'er and Yaya, Yu'er and Yaya had already followed Agula and Qiqige on the road to the Belén Grassland where the black bones were located.

"Brother Agula, how many days will it take for us to arrive?" Yaya has long braids, a red riding outfit, and a pair of black riding boots on her feet. She is neatly dressed and has a long whip in her hand. While waving it back and forth, she raised her eyes and asked Agula beside her.

"Princess..." Agula was about to reply, but was interrupted by Yaya's sharp voice as soon as he spoke.

"Brother Agula, you have fouled again! It was agreed that siblings should match each other, why do you still call me princess?" The long riding whip in Yaya's hand gently swung over and touched Agra's back.

"Oh, yes, yes, I made a foul, and I should be called Sister Aya!" Agula laughed heartily, her slender eyes staring at Yaya's cheerful face.

"That's right!" Yaya winked mischievously at Agula.

"Sister Aya, we'll be there in about ten days! When we get to the grassland, I'll take you to have fun for a few days, and I guarantee that you and brother Yu will think the grassland is good and never want to go back to Rongcheng!" A delicate voice came, and it was Agula's younger sister—Qiqige who spoke.Qiqige is wearing a light yellow robe, with a belt around her waist, she shows a good figure, on her round face, a pair of slender eyes look particularly energetic, her skin is healthy wheat yellow, and the corners of her mouth are The smile kept on, making people want to get close to her. Yu'er's horse followed behind her horse, and Yu'er's personal maid, Xiao Bing, followed behind Yu'er.

Xiaobing firmly remembered her responsibility, Yu'er tried to get rid of her several times but failed, so she had to bring Xiaobing along.

For this independent journey, they have been preparing for a long time. During this time, they go out early and return home every day to plan routes and purchase things to ensure that they can reach the Belén Grassland safely.Agula's father also gave them a lot of advice, and told them to be careful outside before leaving
"My lord, if we sneak out like this, Madam will be worried!" Xiaobing said to Yu'er's back from behind.

"Xiaobing, don't be so disappointing, okay? I finally ran out, don't want me to go back! I want to fly freely like that eagle!" Yu'er pointed at the eagle hovering in the sky, twisting Pulling over his head, he said to Xiaobing, "I want to go back to you, but I won't go back anyway!"

"I won't go either! I want to be an eagle too!" Yaya, who was not far away, heard Yu'er's words, glared at Xiaobing, and then said to Yu'er, "Brother, let's play more this time." A few days, okay? I don’t want to be locked in the room by my mother to learn those poems, book etiquette, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.”

"I know, I still don't understand your little thoughts! Otherwise, I wouldn't bring you out!" Yu'er winked at Yaya, and the two smiled knowingly.

"Brother Yu'er, the man who was injured by you that night died!" Qi Qige suddenly said something, which made the other three people stare at her with wide eyes.

"Sister, don't talk nonsense! Didn't Daddy say that he is okay? He just suffered a little skin trauma!" Agula asked Qi Qiqi in puzzlement.

"Daddy doesn't want you to know, especially Brother Yu. He got into a dispute with a man over a horse, and he actually got into a big fight, and finally beat him to death by mistake. If this is spread, it will be bad for Brother Yu's reputation!" Qi Qi Ge said slowly, the eyes had some unclear meanings.

It turned out that after Yu'er rode back to Rongcheng with Yaya that day, she was waiting for Murong Jing at the gate of the city, ready to enter the city together.After waiting for a while, I still couldn't see the shadow of the car driving, and I couldn't bear to refuse Agula's strong invitation, so I took Yaya to their family's horse farm to play.

In the racecourse, Yu'er fell in love with a pure black pony, and when she was about to decide to buy it, another guest in the racecourse also fell in love with this horse.

The two were a little irritable, and they had a dispute without saying a word, and Yu'er punched this person in a fit of anger.

"Qiqige, I really didn't use much force at the time. Why did he fall to the ground? The doctor came over that night and showed him to him. He said it was some skin trauma and it would heal the next day. How could he die? Are you done?" Yu'er asked Qi Qige puzzled.

"You punched him right in the chest, shattering all the internal organs in his body! He looked fine at the time, but he won't live for three hours afterwards!" Qi Qige said calmly.

"Wow! Brother, you are so amazing!" Yaya looked at her tall brother with admiration, just like she looked up to their father in the palace.

"Shut up, what do you know, don't interrupt!" Yu'er yelled at Yaya sharply, so scared that Yaya quickly shut her mouth, and didn't say a word.

"Qiqige, if you say that, is there any trouble?" Yu'er thought about being blocked in the racecourse by the relatives of the injured that night, and now thinking about it, she feels a little scared.

"Well, when we came out, Dad specially told us to be careful on the road and not to reveal your identity to anyone, because the relatives of the deceased already knew your identity and clamored to find Yan and Da. General, let them uphold justice for the dead!" Qi Qi looked at Yu'er with some sadness in his eyes.

"Well, don't worry! We will never reveal our identities easily along the way, and we will definitely not embarrass your father." Yu'er nodded towards Qi Qige and said.

"That's good! Father said, let you calm down and live on the grassland with peace of mind during this time, and go back after the matter in Rongcheng is resolved!" Qi Qige seriously told Yu'er and Yaya that she spoke and acted very well. Rigorous and thoughtful, you can't refuse, especially those eyes that seem to be smiling, as if they can talk, so you can't refuse.

"Okay!" Yu'er nodded, and Yaya in front also turned her head and nodded to Qi Qige.

"Master, if we sneak out like this, Madam will be worried! Let's send a letter to Madam and the General! Madam is not in good health, and you and Miss sneaked out again. How can her body suffer?" Xiaobing said to Yu'er, she looked at Qiqige in front of her, and glanced at her with some disgust. She didn't know why she just didn't like Qiqige, who looked weak on the surface, but spoke He does things quickly and neatly, never sloppy, hesitant!

"Xiaobing, don't worry! When I left, I gave the guard at the city gate a letter and asked him to pass it on to the general. Mother and uncle will receive the letter!" Yu'er said to Xiaobing, her face There is a hint of complacency on it, as if he is complacent about his thoughtful and rigorous plan.

Five people and five horses marched slowly in the desert, and the afterglow of the setting sun stretched the figures of the four very long.

Agula, Qiqige and Yu'er have been walking in the desert for almost ten days. Where is there a shadow of the grassland?Yu'er and Yaya no longer had the excitement they had when they first came out. In front of them was the desert, the rolling and endless desert. They were tired of seeing it when they were young.

"Brother Agula, why haven't you reached the grassland yet?" Yaya sat on the horse, flicking the long whip in her hand boredly, looking at Agula.

"That's right! Logically speaking, we should have arrived early, why can't we see anything?" Agula reined in his horse and looked around.

"Brother, are we going in the wrong direction?" Qiqige followed up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stared at Agula with a pair of eyes. Something is hidden.

Agula glared at Qiqige, then got off his horse, ran to the high sand dune opposite to have a look, then scratched the ground with his hands, finally shook his head helplessly and said: "We must have gone in the wrong direction, We should have gone west, but we are now heading north, and we should have entered the hinterland of the desert!"

"What?" Yu'er was still riding on the horse, resting her eyes with her eyes closed. Now when she heard this, she immediately got off the horse, looked around, and finally nodded firmly, "It is true that we are going in the wrong direction. It should be in the desert of death!"

"Desert of Death?" Yaya's voice trembled when she said these words. They were going to the Beren Grassland, so why did they enter the Desert of Death?This is the land of death!Yaya looked at the bones of animals exposed in the sand in front of her. Even with the scorching sun on her head, she still felt chills all over her body.

"Brother, what should I do?" Yaya panicked, jumped off the horse, walked to Yu'er, and asked Yu'er by the sleeve.

"There will be a way, there will be a way!" Yu'er murmured, speaking to Yaya, but also to herself.

Yu'er grew up in the desert. Even if he had never entered the desert of death, he knew how powerful the desert of death was. Even an experienced shepherd would not dare to say that he could walk out of the desert of death alive!

"Ayu, we don't have much water. I remember there seems to be a well ahead. I'll go and have a look first, and you guys will follow!" Agula pulled the horse and continued to move forward.

"Brother, I'll accompany you!" Qiqige ran behind Agula.

Yu'er and Yaya froze there, looking at the rolling sand dunes, completely dumbfounded, how should they get out of this desert now?
