The reason why Ming Xi wanted to go to the hot spring villa was because he and San'er had left the city last night to track the demonic beast. According to San'er, the demonic beast's aura had disappeared in that direction. He wanted to investigate it again with San'er.
After being imprisoned in the palace for half a year, Ming Yu was like a runaway wild horse after leaving the palace. No matter where Ming Xi wanted to go, she would definitely follow.
After lunch at the Lu family's house, Ming Xi took them out of the city. There was a little boy beside Ming Yu, who was leaning against the window with bright eyes. He rarely went out, and it took him a long time to get Su Xiaoxiao to agree to let him go out with Ming Xi.
"Brother Lan, don't lean on the window. It's dangerous." Mingyu patiently carried Lu Xianglan back and let him sit beside her. ZaiReadyChina.com was the fastest to update.
Ming Xi, Shang'er, and the others did not sit in the carriage. Instead, they rode their horses to the side. Other than Ming Yu and Lu Xianglan, there were only two servant girls in the carriage who looked after them.
"Princess, if we leave the city like this, what if the Emperor finds out?" Ning Xiang asked Ming Yu in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter. Since Imperial Father has allowed me to follow Mingxi out of the palace, he won't stop me from going anywhere. Besides, isn't the hot spring villa near Chengde Villa? That is the territory of the royal family. What is there for Father to worry about? "Ming Yu said.
She didn't think there was anything she couldn't go to the hot spring villa. There was no difference between staying in King Qin's Mansion and going to the hot spring villa. Moreover, didn't father arrange secret guards for her? They must have already sent the news of her leaving the city to the palace. If Father Emperor didn't agree, he would have sent someone to stop her.
"Why are you suddenly going to the hot spring villa?" Fire Phoenix rode beside Ming Xi and asked in a low voice. He knew that Ming Xi had never thought of going to the hot spring villa, so he didn't know what he was thinking this time.
"Last night, Rou 'er sensed the aura of a demonic beast in the capital." Ming Xi said calmly. "We searched for an entire night, but in the end, we didn't find anything."
Fire Phoenix's expression changed. "How could there be demonic beasts here? This is the human world. Did Rou 'er make a mistake?"
"Wen 'er can't be mistaken." Ming Xi said, "Let's go to the hot spring villa first."
"Why would a demonic beast appear in the human world?" Fire Phoenix looked at Shang'er, thinking that Shang'er might have made a mistake.
Shang'er glanced at him. "We're not from the human world, so why are we here?"
"…" Fire Phoenix thought for a moment, then curled her lips and said nothing more.
The speed at which they went to the hot spring villa was very fast. They arrived before the sky turned dark. The place was usually cleaned by the servants, so even though they arrived suddenly, it was not troublesome. They just had to change the bed and they would be able to stay.
"It's a pity that it's already dark. Otherwise, we could go hunting in the mountains," Ming Yu said.
"We can play with the bonfire at night. There's a wild boar in the manor that we can roast and eat," Ming Xi said.
Ming Yu had never played with a bonfire before. When she heard that she could roast a wild boar at night, her face lit up. "Sure, sure."
A smile flashed across Ming Xi's handsome face. "Go back to the room and rest first. I'll have someone prepare."
"Brother Lan, let's go wash our faces and hands first. We'll come back later." Ming Yu led Lu Xianglan back into the house.
Shang'er walked to Ming Xi's side, "There's no aura at all."
"If there's nothing, then forget it. We'll just treat it as a game," Ming Xi said in a low voice.
Fire Phoenix said, "I already said it's a mistake. How could there be a demonic beast?"
Ming Xi glanced at her. "Tonight, you and I will go into the mountains to take a look."
"…" Fire Phoenix looked at Ming Xi anxiously. Why would they go into the mountains at night?
Shang'er said in a low voice, "Ming Xi, could it really be a mistake?"
Ming Xi said in a low voice, "Whether it's real or fake, we have to investigate carefully."
"Mn." Shang'er nodded lightly.

The moonlight gently poured down on the earth. The hot spring villa was bustling with activity because of the arrival of the few young masters. Ever since Ming Xi and Mo Rongzhan had disappeared, the hot spring villa had been empty. It was only half a year ago that they had arranged for people to come and take care of everything.
The bonfire on the lawn burned vigorously. The flames illuminated everyone's faces until they were red. The roast boar on the side was already making a sizzling sound, the fragrance filling the air.
Fire Phoenix had plucked a lot of fruits from somewhere, saying that she had seen them in the mountains. After confirming that they were edible, Ming Yu and Shang'er ate with relish.
Ming Xi looked at the letter on the side. He had asked Xue Lin to investigate this. Although his father was no longer the Emperor, he still had people in the capital. If he wanted to investigate something, he would be able to find it quickly.
After hearing his grandfather's words in the Lu Family's study today, he knew that it wasn't baseless. He wanted to know clearly what the attitude and thoughts of certain people in the court were towards Ming Yu.
"Ming Xi, eat some meat." Shang'er brought over a plate of roasted meat for Ming Xi.
"Alright, thank you." Ming Xi put the letter away and smiled as he took the plate.
Shang'er sat down beside him, "Are we still going into the mountains tonight?"
"Yes." Ming Xi said in a low voice.
Fire Phoenix followed him over, her hand still holding a hoof and gnawing on it, "What are you looking at? I think I saw Xue Lin just now."
Ming Xi glanced at Ming Yu, "I had him investigate something."
"What happened?" Fire Phoenix asked curiously. Since he had Xue Lin investigate, then it should be related to Ming Yu.
"But some people feel that Ming Yu's existence is a hindrance to them." Ming Xi said calmly.
Fire Phoenix raised her eyebrows, "From the palace?"
"Now there are only some rumors. The people behind it don't dare to come out." Ming Xi said calmly, "Ming Yu is still young. Even if they feel that she is a hindrance, they won't dare to do anything at this time."
Even if they really wanted to do that, they still had to be wary of the existence of their parents.
In the end, they felt that Ming Yu was easy to bully.
"Tonight, you guard Ming Yu." Ming Xi said calmly to Fire Phoenix.
"You still haven't given up?" Fire Phoenix said unhappily, "If there really was a demon beast, it would have appeared long ago."
Ming Xi said calmly, "Don't let your guard down. Have you forgotten about that hand?"
Fire Phoenix's expression changed slightly as she thought of the withered hand she saw in Yuan Country. It was obviously not something that should exist in the human world. Although it was now sealed, they didn't know what was inside that black hole.
Shang'er said, "We still don't know if the natural disaster had anything to do with that hand."
"It can't be …" Fire Phoenix swallowed her saliva.
"What hand are you guys talking about?" Ming Yu saw the three of them talking softly and walked over curiously.
Ming Xi laughed, "They said that Fire Phoenix's hand is like a pig's trotter."
"…" Fire Phoenix glared at Ming Xi with an oily face, "You're the pig."
"Brother Lan is sleepy. I'll get someone to bring him back to rest first." Ming Yu said.
Ming Xi said, "I'll send you guys back to the house."
