Chapter 670: Lady Mei’s Death (5)_1
The horse carriage Huo Yuan was riding on bore the mark of the Huo Family, so nobody dared to inspect him, allowing them to proceed smoothly.
"Sui Xi, go find out what’s happened?"
Huo Yuan, leaning against the window of the carriage, peered through the gauze curtain of the window, observing the Brocade Uniform Guards and Inspectorate’s City Patrol Guards milling about.
He had already been informed about what was happening in Ying Tianfu, so he wasn’t worried about Mu Zhongqing getting in trouble or being wronged there. As such, he had plenty of time to investigate the matters that piqued his curiosity.
Sui Xi returned shortly after leaving, whispering into the carriage, "Young Master, I found out that Princess Helana of the Xianbei Empire has suddenly disappeared. Apparently, she ran away on her own, and the whole city is currently searching for her!"
Helana?
Huo Yuan furrowed his brow. He’d heard of the arrogant and domineering foreign princess who was said to be deeply in love with His Highness King Qin, so much so that she would not marry anyone else. Her sudden disappearance could only mean she had gone to Lingbei to find him.
At that thought, he felt a pang of loss; he suddenly thought of her!
If she hadn’t died, she must also be trying all means to go to Lingbei. She loved him so much, trusted him, and even once said that she didn’t mind shedding blood for his sake, and that she would do anything for him, let alone finding him!
Unfortunately, she had mistreated him. The man she admired so much failed to protect her. Because of him, she was resented by his parents and became the scapegoat for Princess Zhao Yang. She even died under a tiger’s jaw. If he had known this would happen, he would never have given up on her. Even if it meant going against her will and forcibly keeping her by his side, guarding her tightly, and preventing anyone from hurting her, even if it meant exposing his identity, he would have done it without hesitation!
