Chapter 45

The two girls came to Laiboli's residence and found that there was no one at all. They asked the patrolling guards and servants, and they didn't know where the Prince had gone.

Yishabeier said: "No way, did he slip away?"

Qiao Suisui pushed the door open gently, looked around Laiboli's room, and called the servant to ask about the time he cleaned.

"Hey, what are you looking at? Otherwise, let's go in and wait for him."

"He should not have returned for two or three days."

"How do you know?"

"It's too clean here, there are no traces of life."

Yishabeier didn't take it seriously, "You just heard it, the servant cleaned it this morning, isn't this normal?"

Qiao Suisui shook her head and picked up the glass cup turned upside down on the table to show her. "Would the servant even wipe off the fingerprints on the glass?"

Yishabeier was stunned, examined the cup body with her hand, and checked the other cups on the tray again. There wasn't even a single fingerprint.

"I just asked, the servant said Ashi wasn't there when he came this morning. He just cleaned it simply, and the bed was also the way it was yesterday, which means he hasn't returned. If these cups weren't wiped by the servant, who wiped them? What happened here that required all traces to be meticulously cleared?"

Yishabeier "hissed" and covered her head. "No, no, I feel like my brain is going to grow a brain."

Qiao Suisui opened the wardrobe again. Yishabeier hurriedly followed, learned her appearance and looked for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong, what's wrong, what did you find again?"

"The set of clothes Ashi wore when I last saw him and Lan Ze leave the Huangting is not in the cabinet now."

"Ah!"

Yishabeier suddenly called out as if she had enlightened.

She knew this too well. The royal family regulations state that for repeated occasions or when meeting people you met last time, you must never wear the same set of clothes. This is a great disrespect.

"So he hasn't returned for a long time!"

Qiao Suisui nodded, "It should be the same day I left, Ashi never returned."

"Where did he go? Was he secretly punished by Father? But it's not right, Father has been in a coma."

Qiao Suisui didn't respond to Yishabeier's muttering analysis. She walked out quickly, wanting to find someone to ask what happened in the days she was away, but bumped into a hard chest just as she walked out of the door.

"Brother!"

Qiao Suisui covered her forehead and saw Yishabeier flying into the arms of the man in front like a little magpie.

It turned out he was Geerba Sanshi's eldest son, Niao Laiboli.

His build was very large, even stronger than Luka, his shoulders were very wide, making Yishabeier in his arms even more petite. His skin color looked like it had been exposed to the sun all year round, and he was wearing the royal regulation dress, looking majestic and cold.

The tall and big man stood at the door, first slowly raised his hand, symbolically touched Yishabeier's head, and then his gaze fixed on Qiao Suisui.

"What are you doing here?"

"Ah, Qiao Suisui and I came to find Cousin, did you see him?"

Niao didn't answer, turned sideways to give way to the door, meaning to let Qiao Suisui out.

"Go back, don't run around."

After speaking, he raised his chin and signaled to a team of guards. Qiao Suisui and Yishabeier were immediately surrounded by guards from both sides, and the leading male lowered his head and made a "please" gesture.

Qiao Suisui didn't move, and Yishabeier also felt something was wrong, whispering: "Did something happen?"

Niao still had no expression, saying: "Father is critically ill, the Huangting needs to be under martial law. You all stay in your own halls, don't come out casually usually."

"But I also want to see Fat..."

"Bell."

The man only called Yishabeier's name neither heavily nor lightly, and the girl didn't dare to say any more. Qiao Suisui only needed a few sentences to see that the princess, who had always been arrogant and domineering, was both dependent on and respectful of this eldest brother, so she was willing to listen to him.

From the reaction of the guards, it could also be seen that Niao's authority in the Huangting was significant, but why didn't Geerba Sanshi let him inherit, but wanted to pass it to Lan Ze?

She lowered her eyes to cover the contemplation in her eyes, and followed the guards away obediently.

Behind her, Niao's gaze looked at her back for a long time, without temperature.

That night, the whole Huangting fell into unprecedented silence, which made everything that seemed ordinary look unusual.

Qiao Suisui looked at the three cubs and saw that they were all well taken care of, and felt a little relieved. But Luka, who would come to see her every day, didn't come tonight. Even if he was busy before, he would take time to come. Qiao Suisui judged based on the current situation that Luka didn't want to come, but couldn't get in at all.

She always had an intuition that something was going to happen.

Just before it was time to sleep, a sneaky figure suddenly slipped into her hall door. Qiao Suisui lay on the bed calmly, but she had already taken out the rewarded water-shaped dagger from the system's storage space in advance, intending to protect herself if necessary.

Suddenly, she felt a depression on the bed, clearly someone had touched the edge of the bed. She turned around and stabbed the black shadow with force, only hearing "shhh—".

"Don't kill me!"

Yishabeier was shivering with a quilt that had been slashed. She wrapped herself like a ghost, only revealing a face with her features squeezed together.

"It's me, it's me!"

"Why are you here?"

"I... I'm scared, I want to sleep with you... c-can I?"

Qiao Suisui put the dagger back into the storage grid and patted the position beside her, saying: "Come up."

The two girls accompanied each other in the dark night and chatted in a low voice for a while, gradually entering a dream.

Qiao Suisui didn't sleep peacefully this night, perhaps because she had many questions in her heart, so she was in a state of half-dream and half-awake. Yishabeier slept topsy-turvy, and people turned sideways. Fortunately, the bed was big enough, so Qiao Suisui wouldn't be squeezed down.

Morning.

Luka came.

He first looked at the three cubs who were snoring, then walked quickly to the inner room, ignored Yishabeier next to him, picked up Qiao Suisui, and walked out.

She slept lightly and woke up immediately, her voice a bit hoarse.

"Luka..."

"Woke you up?" He kissed her and said softly: "You can still sleep on the road later."

"Where to?"

He helped her put on clothes while finding the constant temperature box to put the three little lions in.

"Laiboli rebelled, it won't be safe here soon, I'll take you to the main house."

The main house refers to the palace of the Sikesaisi family. The Leguo Palace she lived in before was where Luka lived alone, while the main house was where all members of the Sikesaisi family were, because lion beastmen themselves like to live in groups.

"Wait." Qiao Suisui grabbed his arm and looked up and asked: "Ashi rebelled? Are you sure?"

Luka nodded solemnly, squatted down and said to her: "Last night, he mobilized the private army of the sun and launched a positional war with Niao. I saw him commanding on the warship with my own eyes. He has now won the support of more than half of the big families. I don't know how he did it, but I heard from Father that Laiboli also threw an olive branch to him. It's just that the Sikesaisi family will absolutely not betray the sun of Aosilan. At this time, the sun is still Geerba Sanshi, then we will not stand in Laiboli's camp."

You don't vote, she doesn't vote, when can the author get ahead? Asking for votes again, causing trouble for everyone, thank you all.
