The woman in the chair was clearly still unconscious. Ye Li walked over and pulled back the cloak covering her face, revealing the woman's beautiful and dignified face. Who else could it be other than the empress she had just met today?
"Nonsense!" Ye Li turned to glare at Feng Zhiyao as she scolded in a low voice.
Feng Zhiyao didn't mind and hooked his lips into a smile. His normally teasing eyes were now filled with deep helplessness and sadness. Even Ye Li couldn't bear to say anything more. With a sigh, Ye Li asked: "Did she agree to you bringing her out like this?" Feng Zhiyao was silent. Ye Li understood that he had ignored the empress' wishes and directly brought her out of the palace.
Seeing Mo Xiuyao become even angrier, Ye Li silently walked to his side and pulled his hand to the side to sit down. Otherwise, Ye Li couldn't guarantee that Mo Xiuyao wouldn't give Feng Zhiyao another slap.
"You've become quite daring. I never knew that Young Master Feng was so daring. "Sitting next to Ye Li, Mo Xiuyao suppressed his anger and coldly said to Feng Zhiyao.
Feng Zhiyao faintly smiled, but he didn't have his usual carefree and unrestrained air. Only a faint helplessness and dullness remained, "I'll take responsibility for what I've done. I won't implicate the Prince Ding Mansion. "
Bang! Mo Xiuyao slapped the table next to him. The table was fine, but the furnishings and teacups on the table instantly shattered. Mo Xiuyao was so angry that he laughed, "Good ….. Very good! Young Master Feng, you're so capable, but won't you implicate the Prince Ding Mansion? Since you're so capable, why don't you just take her out of the capital? "
Feng Zhiyao was silent. The city gates were currently closed and the capital was currently under martial law. It was fine if he was alone, but it was impossible for him to bring an unconscious person out of the city. Feng Zhiyao closed his eyes tiredly. "Xiuyao, I'm sorry. But … I don't regret it. " Mo Xiuyao snorted. Looking at him, he said indifferently, "Young master Feng San thinks you're smart. Didn't you think of a way out before you started? Did you enter the palace to kidnap people in a moment of impulsiveness? "
Feng Zhiyao was a little embarrassed. He really didn't think too much about it. After he had snuck into the palace to find the Empress, he had been rejected by the Empress. The more he thought about it, the sadder he felt. In a moment of anger, he didn't think about anything and returned to the palace to rescue her. But he didn't think that Mo Xiuyao would be so angry, not because he went into the palace to kidnap the Empress, but because he didn't even have a plan before he kidnapped her.
"Then … what should we do now?" Understanding Mo Xiuyao's thoughts, Feng Zhiyao didn't force it. In terms of intelligence, he lost to Mo Xiuyao by a lot. He could accept this fact.
Ye Li raised an eyebrow and said with a slight smile, "How about we send her back before anyone finds out?"
"No!" Feng Zhiyao quickly said. He had taken her out with great difficulty. If he sent her back, he couldn't guarantee that he would have the courage to do so next time. And he didn't bring her out just because of his feelings. It was more because he knew that her future in the palace wouldn't be easy. Even if she wasn't willing to accept him, he hoped that she could at least live a more relaxed and happy life. At least … he still had some hope, right?
Mo Xiuyao looked at the sky. It was already five o 'clock. He shook his head, "It's too late. In at most an hour, someone will find that the Empress is missing. "
Ye Li frowned, "Then what should we do? Send her out of the city now? " Right now, the sky wasn't bright yet. It wasn't a good time to leave the city. But if they missed this last moment. Once people found out that the Empress was missing, it would be even harder to leave the capital.
"She can't leave right now. We all know the Empress' personality. She isn't someone that just leaves. If we send her out now, she will come back on her own. "Mo Xiuyao shook his head," Let's temporarily stay in the Prince Ding Mansion. Even if the Empress is missing, no one will dare to search the Prince Ding Mansion. " Fortunately, the guards and servants of the Prince Ding Mansion were all trustworthy and Feng Zhiyao had come back at night. Otherwise, tonight's matter would be like how Mo Jingli had kicked his son to death. Before the sky even brightened, the news would have spread to all the mansions in the capital.
"Many thanks to Prince, many thanks to Wang Fei," Feng Zhiyao said joyfully.
Ye Li waved her hand and said, "It's fine. Find a place to settle her down. You've been busy all day. Take advantage of the time to rest."
Feng Zhiyao gave his thanks again. He picked up the sleeping Empress and turned to leave. In the flower pavilion, Ye Li turned to look at Mo Xiuyao and said with a raised eyebrow, "This is the propriety that Prince spoke of?" He even dared to kidnap the Empress of a country. If this was propriety, then what was there that he did not know propriety?
Mo Xiuyao smiled helplessly, "This is probably the first time in Feng San's life that he did not know propriety."
Allowing Feng Zhiyao to settle the Empress, Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao did not go to visit. The two held hands as they returned to their own courtyard to rest. Less than two hours later, someone came to their door.
"Prince, Wang Fei, Duke Hua requests an audience."
Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao exchanged a look. Mo Xiuyao stood and said, "Invite Duke Hua to the study. I will go over now." Ye Li reached out to grab Mo Xiuyao and said with a faint smile, "Let's go together." Mo Xiuyao did not object. The two changed their clothes and went to the study.
Duke Hua who had been invited to the study was discontented. His old face with white hair and beard was much more haggard. His slightly muddy old eyes were filled with anxiety and worry. Seeing Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao walk in hand in hand, he hurriedly stood to greet them, "Prince, Wang Fei."
Mo Xiuyao raised a hand to support Duke Hua. He said in a rare gentle voice, "Duke, why are you here so early? Is something the matter?"
Duke Hua sighed and said with a bitter smile, "Isn't something big happening? Otherwise, why would this old man be so insensible as to come here so early in the morning? "
The two of them helped Duke Hua sit down on either side before taking their own seats. Ye Li smiled faintly, "Old Duke, what are you saying? We'll always welcome you whenever you come to visit us. You haven't said what happened yet. What happened? "
Duke Hua was not in the mood to be courteous. He said in a low voice, "The Empress is missing."
Although they already knew that Duke Hua would come here for this matter, they still didn't know how to say it. After a while, Ye Li slowly opened her mouth and said, "Old Duke … … Her Majesty the Empress is in Ding Wang fu."
