Chapter 386: Candied Haws in the Sky
In the Northern Hunting Camp, people were in panic.
On the one hand, it was not unusual for the officials and generals to think that the emperor had gone into the Forest of Ten Thousand Souls to hunt and had not returned for two days. Such a thing had never happened in previous years. Therefore, even though the Yulin Guards and some of the important officials whom the empress trusted more said that "the empress encountered rare prey, so she set up camp and stayed in the depths of the Forest of Ten Thousand Souls", not many people actually believed it.
The Forest of Ten Thousand Souls is a strange place and can suppress one's power, so some ministers, especially those from the [Regent Faction], are already thinking about the worst possible development.
Of course, they had nothing to gloat over, because in addition to the empress, the regent who went with them that day also had not returned to the camp yet.
On the other hand, the trusted members who learned the truth from the Yulin Guards who escaped that day had to deal with stabilizing the camp and preventing unnecessary rumors from spreading over the past two days. In secret, they were also extremely anxious and secretly sent a number of people to search the Wanhun Forest.
Of course, their search could only be limited to the distance where the emperor and the regent disappeared that day, and was limited to a superficial search in the outermost area. Although it was unlikely to yield any results, it was at least better than nothing.
Among all the people, Princess Qingli Su Yinping and Thousand Hands Gu Jin could be said to be the most uneasy.
When she learned that the Empress Regent was missing and Qin Lang was missing with her, Gu Jin immediately went to the Wanhun Forest to look for them. Even though she was dissuaded and stopped by the Yulin Guards, she was still stubborn and tried to sneak out several times.
Fortunately, her skills were also suppressed, so under the strict protection of the Yulin Guards, she could not appear and disappear as elusive as usual, and she soon realized that if she entered the Ten Thousand Souls Forest, the princess would definitely follow.
Although Gu Jin was stubborn and only cared about her boyfriend and the empress, and didn't care what happened to herself, she couldn't help but care about Su Yinping.
Therefore, I calmed down a little bit afterwards.
However, being calm is one thing, but the uneasiness and anxiety in your heart will naturally not disappear just by being calm.
Su Yinping, in particular, had hardly eaten anything in recent meals, and her appetite was as poor as when she had just separated from Qin Lang. She had to hold Gu Jin in her arms to fall asleep at night. After waking up, apart from asking about the search progress of the Yulin Guards, she paced back and forth in the tent with a worried look on her face.
Logically speaking, if this distracted princess were to be encountered in the past, Gu Jin would definitely stop her with a cold face, or even spank her for the first time in a long time.
But now this matter does involve the safety of two important people, so Gu Jin did not say a word, and comforted each other with words like "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer and they will definitely come out."
After all, it's only been two days. Strictly speaking, the sun hasn't risen yet, so it's not even two days yet, and everything is not hopeless.
"Princess! Lord Qianshou!"
"?!"
Just as the sky was getting light and the two girls got up from the couch after not getting much sleep, a Yulin guard suddenly came in from outside.
"What happened!"
Su Yinping's heart moved, and she went to meet him excitedly:
"Is Qin Lang back?"
"Eh? ...Eh..."
Upon hearing this, the Yulin Guards were slightly stunned.
Su Yinping also instantly realized something from the reaction of the Yulin Guards. A trace of guilt flashed through her heart, and she added in time:
"And...and His Majesty, Qin Lang and the Imperial Sister, are they back?"
Making up for her concern for her sister was the biggest compensation Su Yinping could give in a desperate situation. After all, sisters have a deep bond.
As for the Regent, she really was too lazy to care about him at the moment.
Gu Jin was more direct, staring closely at the Yulin Guards who came to report the news:
"Is there any news about him? Is Qin Lang back?"
"..."
Although the Yulin Guard dared not say anything, she felt a little emotional when she saw that the princess and Qianshou were most concerned about Captain Qin in the past two days. Especially since she had accidentally "visited" the strange "shadow plays" in the tent before, and counted them with a red face. Some of the shadows in the tent were stacked up to three layers at a time. Apart from the emperor, these two were obviously among them.
Therefore, the Yulin Guards could not help wondering at this time, wondering how… how powerful… the ability of Qin Duwei’s lover was to make the woman so obsessed with him…
"My Lord Princess, Lord Qianshou, His Majesty Lord Bai and Lord Qin have not returned yet... but there is indeed news... coming from the Ten Thousand Souls Forest."
"information?"
What does it mean that there is news coming from the Forest of Ten Thousand Souls?
Gu Jin and Su Yinping immediately walked out of the tent and followed the direction pointed by the Imperial Guards. They saw a mysterious firework in the sky above the Ten Thousand Souls Forest in the distance. It emitted a faint blue light and took on a strange shape, just like...
A string of candied haws.
The only difference is that the round beads on the candied haws are arranged from big to small, like a pagoda. I don’t know what they represent specifically.
Only Gu Jin and Su Yinping looked at the particularly familiar shape of the "Tanghus" in the sky. Their hearts, which had been hanging for two days, suddenly settled down. They even looked at each other and smiled as if they were relieved.
However, the smiles of the two girls soon froze, and then turned into three parts of embarrassment, six parts of shyness, and even a hint of anger.
After all, it's already this late, and that bastard still has the mind to use this kind of pattern to convey a message. I can only say that he is truly a shameless and shameless scoundrel. He must be severely punished when he comes back!
"My Lord..."
The Imperial Guards naturally didn't understand this candied haws, so they were a little confused when they saw Gu Jin and the princess's reactions:
"…We have just discovered this strange sky fire and are not sure what it is. Do you know anything about it, Lord Princess and Lord Qianshou?"
"Ah."
The princess's face turned serious:
"I can confirm that this fire... is the message delivered by His Majesty and his men."
"Ah? Really?"
"Well, you don't need to go into the details. Anyway, this is the emperor and others reporting to us that they are safe. You take this message down, and we will... just continue to wait patiently."
----------
"You!... You thief! It's already this hour! And you're still doing such shameless things!"
"Baby, baby, listen to my explanation...hiss——!"
……
At the same time, three people and a fox were walking in the Forest of Ten Thousand Souls. The Regent was a little confused as he saw the empress pinching his beloved concubine's waist with a blushing face.
At first, she didn't understand the meaning of the symbol that Qin Lang asked Tuantuan to convey, and now she didn't understand why Su Yupan was angry.
Qin Lang endured the pain in his waist and explained to the empress in a righteous manner:
"Baby, you misunderstood. Qin didn't mean to tease you with the secrets of the boudoir. It's just that I think it's better to keep this signal hidden so that Yinping and Jin'er can be temporarily relieved. This is the Ten Thousand Souls Forest on the border of the two states. If I express it too directly, what if the Beili people..."
"Haha! Do you think I didn't think of this? But why did you think of this thing at the first moment? And you still say you are not a thief!"
"cough…"
Qin Lang coughed dryly, feeling that it was inconvenient to continue dwelling on this, so he simply changed the subject and said to the white fox leading the way:
"Big sister, so the suppression of your power by the Ten Thousand Souls Forest doesn't affect you?"
