Chapter 359 If I didn't care, why would I have come?
Chu Yue left.
Alone and single-handed, he left the capital city overnight.
Chu Xiaohe could not stop it, nor could he follow. The Emperor would summon him again tomorrow, precisely to prevent him from participating in this matter.
However, the Emperor probably hasn't received news of Prince Mo's imprisonment yet. No one knows what the Emperor's plans will be once he receives the news tomorrow.
But he must appear before the Emperor tomorrow, otherwise, their Duke's mansion will be implicated.
Left with no other choice, Chu Xiaohe had to go find someone...
Chu Yue left the city overnight and traveled for two days and nights before finally arriving in Heng County.
The spies left in Hengxian County by the Duke's mansion came to report the news immediately after her arrival.
The hundred-man team led by Mo Wang has disappeared without a trace. At this moment, not only can their men not be found, but it seems that those people are also searching for them.
"Didn't he lead a team of a thousand men? Why are there only a hundred?" Chu Yueli frowned after hearing the scout's words.
"Prince Mo left his troops outside Hengxian City to protect the people of Hengxian," the scout reported.
"Still outside Hengxian City?" So Chu Yueli immediately set off, and after spending more than half an hour, she finally arrived at the garrison outside Hengxian City at dawn.
The commander who stayed behind at the garrison was Thunder, one of the Eighteen Riders, who ranked third among them.
Upon seeing Chu Yueli, Lei Ting was utterly shocked: "Miss Li, what brings you here? You..."
Lei Ting looked behind her and was surprised to find that she had come alone on horseback, with no one behind her.
Lei Ting's face immediately darkened. Although his words were still respectful, they carried a hint of reproach: "Miss Li, this place is dangerous. How could you come alone? Where are the people from the Duke's Mansion and the Imperial Guard? Why is no one escorting you?"
How dangerous would it be to travel alone? What if I encounter bad people along the way?
Although Miss Li is highly skilled in martial arts, she always looks gentle and weak. Anyone who sees her subconsciously feels that they have a responsibility to protect her.
Moreover, she is the future mistress of their Mo Wang Mansion, so she must be protected with utmost care!
"The brothers of the Dragon Guard cannot come this time." Chu Yueli didn't say much, but with just that simple sentence, Lei Ting understood.
If the Emperor forbids the Imperial Guards from participating, then the people from the Duke's Mansion must absolutely not get involved either.
"In that case, Miss Li, I will send someone to escort you back." She is also a member of the Duke's Mansion, and if the Emperor finds out, he will have a different opinion about the Duke's Mansion.
Chu Yueli leaped down from her horse and met his sincere gaze: "Thank you for your concern, but now that I'm here, I won't leave."
"girl……"
"What's the situation on the Prince's side? Why did he only take a hundred men in? Why did he leave you here? What did he foresee? By the way, which is your Prince's tent? May I go in? I swear I am loyal to your Prince at this moment."
The word "at this moment" made Lei Ting both laugh and cry. However, "at this moment" was the best-case scenario. The fact that she came alone already spoke volumes.
After so many years of protecting their relationship, their prince has finally received a response from Miss Li.
If they didn't truly care, why would they disregard the Emperor's decree and come here to find their prince?
"Girl, please come with me."
Lei Ting invited Chu Yueli to Lu Beimo's tent.
Chu Yue felt a pang of sadness the moment she took her first step inside.
