"Wow! I feel so important!" Gao Lan Mei exclaimed with delight as she looked at the brigade of royal soldiers outside the Wei hidden courtyard. The word is hidden though does not match to the courtyard anymore. She then looked at Xiu Shan with gratefulness. "Thank you, captain. I appreciate it." Gao Lan Mei added as she smiles sweetly.
Some of the royal guards snickered silently, mocking Gao Lan Mei for being stupid.
Does she really believe that more than twenty royal soldiers would waste their time just to pick her up?
Gao Lan Mei is just an extra baggage that they need to carry because Wei Jiayi is not around.
The Wei retainers that noticed the disrespect to their w.a.n.gfei want to retaliate. They want to do something about it but without the go signal from the current captain, Lou Ren, no one can take action against the arrogant royal guards.
"Mei"er, are you sure about this? I have a bad feeling…" Li Mao rode her horse beside Gao Lan Mei who is currently riding Kai Kai.
Gao Lan Mei smirked, "What could go wrong? Do not worry mother, they showed a lot of effort to invite us and it is just rude to say no." she explained patiently.
"Invite us? More like escort us to somewhere suspiciously." Li Shao murmured as he rides a horse beside them. Then with annoyance, "Why did you not all just leave me behind?" he said grumpily as he tried to cast another magic his still blue hair.
"We cannot leave you alone there. You might decide to just run away." Li Mao giggled before adding, "Do not worry about your hair it will eventually fade." she a.s.sured, finding Li Shao hilarious. Her cousin Li Guang personality is completely different from his son.
She is just happy that they do not need to really punish Li Shao as he is family. Li Mao feels like she can treat the young man as a son that she never has.
Some of the royal guards from the s.h.i.+zi Empire lead the way, and the rest are surrounding them, probably to make sure that they won"t escape.
The spiritual beasts on Mount Hua avoided them and everyone was able to get out of the mountain towards the roads to the palace with no disturbance.
No one knows what Gao Lan Mei is thinking. Even her mother Li Mao and Lou Ren have no idea what she plans to do.
Surely Gao Lan Mei is aware that the royal guards have other reason for inviting her right? She must have also heard that they are looking for Wei Jiayi as well.
It is morning when they pa.s.s by the road and of the empire so there are a lot of citizens in the streets. With the group headed by royal soldiers, they catch a lot of attention.
Especially the very beautiful woman wearing white robes, riding a large beast, and a raven on her shoulder.
Those who can recognize the woman, immediately spread the news to the other reaching even the famous and strong families in the empire.
…
Second Prince Manor
Chen Yun Ming banged his feast to the wooden table that immediately caused it to break. "Gao Lan Mei is with Wei Jiayi this whole time?!" he seethed with anger. What an indecent woman!
This is initial Chen Yun Ming reaction after hearing the news. Ofcourse he removed the possibility that the details that were given to him are probably a thread of lies.
However, regardless of what is the truth, Chen Yun Ming cannot remove the fact that he is very much regretting his actions before of dismissing Gao Lan Mei and listening to his concubine that is now useless for him.
Chen Yun Ming then stood up, planning to give Gao Lan Mei a visit to the palace, probably he can do something to help.
