Chapter 3113 - 3114: The Plan

Chapter 3113: Chapter 3114: The Plan

"Your husband has always been good-looking," Jiang Yichun grinned mischievously, "Otherwise, would he have made you dizzy?"

"When have I ever been dizzy? Stop bragging," Bai Ruozhu widened her eyes. This guy is full of himself!

Jiang Yichun’s smile grew even wider, "If you say you weren’t, then you weren’t. Your happiness is what matters."

"Hmph, you’re pretty quick to learn," Bai Ruozhu chuckled as well.

Suddenly, a warm breath approached, and before she could react, warm lips swiftly pecked her cheek.

"Consider this a seal; I’ll deal with you later." He said, flashing a mischievous smile as he walked away.

"You..." Bai Ruozhu wiped her face, feeling a bit flushed. They’ve been married for several years, and she should have grown immune to blushing easily, but Jiang Yichun’s charms still overwhelmed her.

Please forgive her for being enchanted by such beauty.

As soon as the couple left, everyone gathered to discuss business.

"Isn’t the Prince trying not to reveal his whereabouts? Then I’ll let everyone in Gaochang City know he’s secretly returned to the Capital," Jiang Yichun announced.

"Yeah, trying to play schemes with us, can he really win?" Gao Zhou snorted twice.

Bai Ruozhu grinned mischievously, "Have we pinpointed where the Prince is hiding now? Let’s have a big one."

Her smile was somehow unnerving, causing Gao Zhou to shiver, "Girl, what are you planning again?"

"I think offending you guys really has no good end; I’m starting to feel sorry for that Prince," Ao Song teased.

"We’ll split into three groups, here’s the plan..." Bai Ruozhu lowered her voice, slowly explaining her scheme. Everyone’s expressions changed constantly, finally bursting into laughter.

Afterwards, everyone went to rest because they were exhausted. The next day at dawn, the plan began.

...

Gaochang City, Chai Family.

"Since they left from the bottom of the lake, why can’t the Water Seeking Technique trace them?" General Chai slammed his palm on the desk, almost breaking it.

The tall and thin guest beside him bowed fearfully, "General, calm down. There’s not enough water, so the Water Seeking Technique can’t trace them; perhaps they changed out of their soaked clothes as soon as they landed."

"I’ve sent people to search by the lake, but there aren’t any wet clothes. Is there any counter-tracking magic technique?" General Chai asked.

The guest shook his head, "I don’t know. Maybe they have some water-repelling treasure."

"Keep searching; they must still be in Gaochang City," General Chai instructed.

At that moment, a servant came to report, "General, the West Garden has sent someone with a message. They request your presence for an important matter."

General Chai’s expression changed. The West Garden was where the Prince temporarily resided—could something have happened to the Prince?

He dared not delay. The Prince wasn’t just the heir he supported, but he was also destined to be the future King of the Western Regions, and his daughter would become Queen. The Chai Family would rise further. At such a crucial time, there must be no mistakes.

Thinking of this, he straightened his clothes and quickly headed outside.

At this moment, a mournful sound pervaded Gaochang City. During national mourning, no one dared to speak loudly, let alone laugh openly.

Of course, many couldn’t bring themselves to laugh—the old King was much loved by the people.

According to Western Regions customs, after a King’s death, white pigeons must be released every day. This is related to an ancient Western Regions legend. Such an honor is reserved only for the King and Queen, requiring seven consecutive days of pigeon releases.

The legend says that the pigeons will lead the King, sending him to heaven.
