Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife

Chapter 788: We Must Find Her!

Da Liang Palace, Rong Si looked coldly at the guards kneeling below.

"Has Your Majesty not been found yet?"

Silence below.

Rong Si’s gaze grew colder, "Useless, so many people, and you can’t find one person. Hmph, what use do I have for you?"

"Princess, spare us!"

Whenever Rong Si said such words, it was bound to lead to killing, so a guard panicked and quickly pleaded for mercy.

Rong Si sneered, waved her hand, and immediately two people came forward to take away the guard who had shouted "spare us," shortly followed by a miserable scream.

The scream was truly tragic, and upon looking back, it was evidently dismemberment by chariots!

Listening to that scream, the guards were even more terrified, trembling like quails, not daring to speak.

"Princess, do you remember the you’er?"

Yin Li came to Rong Si’s side and suddenly whispered.

Rong Si slightly frowned; the you’er, she remembered him, it’s just...

She shook her head: "Last time, I had him put insects in the mooncakes, but he couldn’t do it, so disappointing!"

Yin Li thought for a moment and said: "Your Highness, regardless of how disappointing he may be, the methods we need to try should be used. What if it yields results?"

Rong Si was slightly taken aback; this seemed reasonable?

She immediately turned to Lu Zhi and said, "Hurry and bring the you’er here!"

"Yes, I will go right now!"

Rong Si waited here for Lu Zhi to bring the you’er, and after a long wait, Lu Zhi hurried over, but his expression was clearly unpleasant.

Rong Si felt a chill in her heart and her face didn’t look good either, she asked, "Where’s the you’er?"

Lu Zhi lowered his head: "Princess, I... couldn’t find him."

"You..." Rong Si was furious, and her breath became rapid, "Useless! You are all useless!"

Lu Zhi lowered his head, not daring to look up at her again.

Not finding the you’er wasn’t his fault, but the task was given to him, hence it was his responsibility, and he dared not deny anything, lest Rong Si’s anger intensifies.

Didn’t he see the guard who was dismembered earlier?

When the master is angry, and you keep pleading for mercy, aren’t you courting death?

He definitely wouldn’t make such a low-level mistake.

"Mobilize all the Imperial Guard, the Imperial Army, Patrol Camp, fully search for Your Majesty and the you’er!"

"Yes!"

Rong Si launched a big move; she must find this disobedient son!

...

On a winding, muddy forest path, two figures walked quickly.

They had not ridden horses nor sat in carriages, as such movements were too conspicuous, so they walked the entire way.

"Ah..."

The slightly younger person seemed a bit tired, stood there catching his breath, and exclaimed.

Li Qingmu looked at the you’er who appeared pitiful, knowing he was worn out from the journey, nodded, "Then let’s rest a bit."

"Ah!"

The you’er exclaimed joyfully, found a big tree to lean against, and sat down to rest.

Li Qingmu also smiled a little.

Now, no one can be trusted, but the you’er can still be relied upon.

He was brought by Yue’er from Dazhou, plus this child is innately kind and wouldn’t betray Long Yue.

He can find people, and he’s familiar with Long Yue, having been with her. With him here, it won’t take long to find Yue’er.

Li Qingmu came to the you’er, handed him a cake, and gave him a few fruits. The cake was bought on the way, and the fruits were picked from the forest, still fresh.

The you’er smiled wide, took the cake and fruits to eat, and gestured to Li Qingmu to join him. This meant to share.

"I’m not hungry, you eat!"

"Ah!"

The you’er exclaimed and focused on his meal.

This child, truly honest!

Li Qingmu looked at the forest and suddenly said, "You’er, how much further is Yue’er from us?"

The you’er shook his head.

Li Qingmu’s face darkened; is this "not sure" or "not far"?

The you’er gestured, which Li Qingmu understood as indicating it’s not far, and she’s in the forest.

Li Qingmu’s pupils slightly contracted; what does it mean she’s in this forest? Isn’t that very close?

They were still resting here; isn’t that making them too noticeable?

The you’er seemed to sense Li Qingmu’s unease and gestured again.

This meant they were still a distance away, but the location is in the forest.

Moreover, if anyone approaches, the you’er can sense it first, his ability to find people is legit.

With a roughly known location now, Li Qingmu could finally relax a bit. He let the you’er rest more, then prepared to head straight to the place where Long Yue was held.

He must find her!

They rested for a full hour, until the you’er was well rested and fed, Li Qingmu also ate a little, and they continued on their journey.

This dense forest is vast, stretching endlessly, and halfway through, the you’er suddenly informed him they previously encountered Wei Yunyan here.

Li Qingmu was stunned; is this the place where Wei Yunyan resides?

Previously, Long Yue also had people deal with Wei Yunyan’s body, this task was given to someone else, Li Qingmu knew but wasn’t involved, so he didn’t know the exact location.

Now he understood.

They walked for another hour, reaching the top of a slope; the you’er suddenly pointed downward and exclaimed "Ah."

Li Qingmu followed his direction and saw a small village enveloped by the forest, with only twenty to thirty households, incredibly small.

The small village had a few fish ponds, also pig, chicken, and duck pens, with people occasionally entering to feed the chickens, ducks, and pigs, and others fishing at the pond.

Li Qingmu’s pupils slightly contracted.

This village...

There’s something wrong!

All the people in this village are suspicious!

A small village in the mountains should be earthy and rustic; villagers’ clothes should be extremely shabby, and normally, productivity here would be quite low, raising a few chickens and ducks would be quite good, yet they managed scaled production?

This is definitely not a village in the mountains!

Li Qingmu emerged from such mountain villages, understanding their construction well, there’s definitely something off here!

At this time, the you’er tugged at his garment.

Li Qingmu turned and said: "Is this the place, right?"

"Ah!"

The you’er nodded earnestly.

Li Qingmu’s breath quickened, Yue’er, is she found?

Now, where would she be hidden in which room?

"You’er, the rest is up to you!"

They must find Long Yue in one attempt and bring her out!

In between, absolutely no time must be given to the enemy to prepare.

The you’er nodded sincerely, then pulled Li Qingmu’s sleeve and headed towards a small path on the side.

This spot was a downhill route, rounding over would lead to the village.

The two cautiously approached this village.
