The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1971

Chapter 1971: Chapter 982: Long Mengmeng Arrives (Xinyang vs Xiao Ji Special)

Long Yi found the village only after Xiao Ji and Princess Xinyang had left with their entourage.

The old lady’s small thatched hut was the closest to the cave entrance; he first went to the old lady’s place. Having stayed by Princess Xinyang’s side for years, he was thoroughly familiar with her aura.

As soon as he entered, he knew she had been here.

He asked the old lady where they had gone.

He wore a mask, his eyes emanating endless killing intent.

Mengmeng is very fierce!

You better confess truthfully!

Otherwise, I’ll kill you!

The old lady was successfully threatened, raised her hand, and pointed to the slope in the backyard: "They left from there."

Xiao Ji didn’t specify where they went; firstly, he didn’t want to implicate the old woman, and secondly, to prevent any chance the old woman might betray them.

Protection was one thing, trust was another; if he didn’t plan thoroughly, he couldn’t have survived this long.

Long Yi traced the clues to the residence where the young master had once stayed and quickly sensed the breathing from inside the box, his martial artist’s senses was unlike ordinary people.

He opened the box lid and saw two men with their hands and feet bound and mouths gagged.

The two had long been awake, but unfortunately, could not move or shout.

Finally, someone came, and naturally, they were very excited.

Long Yi glanced at them and pulled the cloth from the more presentable young master’s mouth, asking, "Who did this to you?"

The young master hastily reported, "A man and a woman! They were wearing Dongyi soldiers’ clothes, but you could tell from their accents that they aren’t Dongyi!"

Wait, your accent doesn’t sound like Dongyi!

"Where did they go?" Long Yi pinched his throat.

The young master shivered, "To... to... the Saintess Hall..."

He had heard them impersonate their master and servant, being escorted onto the carriage by the guards of the Dongyi king, so they must have gone to the Saintess Hall.

"Where is the Saintess Hall?" Long Yi asked again.

The young master stammered, "I... I’ve never been..."

He truly hadn’t been there.

The Saintess Hall was the most sacred and mysterious place for the whole Dongyi clan, outsiders simply had no way to approach, and if not for his good looks and excellent birth date, he wouldn’t have had the chance to be selected for marriage with the Saintess.

But who could have expected someone to cut in halfway.

Long Yi concluded he couldn’t get more information, chopped the two men into unconsciousness, closed the box lid, and headed out.

He followed the wheel tracks and footprints in the snowfield to the village entrance. Passing under a large tree, he heard a playful voice from above, "Big guy, are you going to the Saintess Hall?"

He raised his head, looking dazedly at the Little Princess Dongyi sitting on the tree branch.

The Little Princess Dongyi leapt lightly down, looking at him mischievously, "I know the way to the Saintess Hall."

Long Yi glanced at her, sparing words, "Lead the way."

The Little Princess Dongyi was startled, "Aren’t you going to ask if it’s real? Also, aren’t you going to ask why I’m helping you?"

"Lead the way," was still Long Yi’s response.

The Little Princess Dongyi pursed her lips, "I won’t."

Long Yi left.

The Little Princess Dongyi stared with wide almond eyes at his unturned back, stammering, "I-I-I’ve already said I’m not leading the way!"

Yet she still caught up.

...

The Saintess Hall was a shrine located on Dongyi Mountain of the Dongyi clan.

Of course, that was for Dongyi people.

In Xiao Ji and Princess Xinyang’s eyes, it was just an ordinary palace, not even particularly exquisite.

However, the atmosphere inside the palace was extremely mysterious.

Only women were here, no men, everyone expressionless, appearing detached from the human world.

Additionally, incense was burning throughout the palace, at the entrance, in the corridors; even upon entering the room, the first to come into view were two large incense burners.

"Achoo!"

Princess Xinyang’s nose tickled, she sneezed.

The woman in red frowned and looked at her.

Xiao Ji calmly spoke, "When can I meet the Saintess?"

The woman in red’s attention was successfully diverted, her gaze moved from Princess Xinyang’s face to Xiao Ji’s veiled hat, "According to the rules, you may meet the Saintess on the day of the grand wedding three days later. If the Saintess wishes to see you in the meantime, she will come over."
