"Wait, you could at least wait for me..."
Before the words were finished, the girl’s figure seemed to soar over the wall like the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden.
Mu Fengyan stared in astonishment, and when he came to his senses, he hurriedly called out, "Hey, girl, you haven't told me your name yet!"
"Yin Luo."
The voice grew fainter, clearly indicating that she had already left.
Mu Fengyan immediately felt a wave of disappointment wash over him. He sat down under a nearby tree and muttered, "I finally made a friend, and now she's gone!"
As he sulked under the tree, he heard footsteps approaching but ignored them until a pair of boots appeared in front of him. Without looking up, he shouted, "Ugh, are you guys annoying? Can't you let me be quiet for a while..."
When he finally looked up, he was startled to find that the person before him was not his attendant at all. He quickly got up from the ground, his expression clearly turning fearful as he stammered, "Your Highness... what are you doing here?"
Behind Mu Changqing, two attendants caught the reproachful look from Mu Fengyan and quickly lowered their heads, not daring to speak. Mu Fengyan was filled with anger but had no choice but to endure it.
Mu Changqing's gaze swept over him as he said calmly, "I heard that the Emperor ran off with an unfamiliar woman. I was concerned for your safety, so I came to check on you."
Mu Fengyan felt a chill run down his spine and quickly forced a smile. "What woman? Your Highness must have heard wrong. It's all these two servants' fault for being negligent and spreading rumors. Look at me... I'm perfectly fine here! There's no need for Your Highness to worry!"
Mu Changqing curled his lips, appearing to smile, but that smile was truly chilling. Mu Fengyan hurriedly said, "Since there's nothing going on, I'll head back to the palace now. Your Highness, you can be busy without worrying about me!"
After saying this, he rushed off to the side, passing by his two attendants and not forgetting to step on one of their feet while softly scolding, "Just wait until I get back to deal with you."
Mu Changqing's gaze followed his retreating figure for a moment before it fell upon a piece of draped fabric hanging from a branch in front of him. He then looked outside the wall, and the person behind him quickly replied, "Rest assured, He Xin has already followed."
Mu Changqing nodded and then slowly left.
By the time he returned to the manor, it was already evening, and the sky had darkened. Just as he was about to head straight for the study, he suddenly saw He Xin rushing towards him with a serious expression. He paused for a moment and then stopped to look at him.
He Xin approached him and immediately knelt down, saying, "I failed in my duty and allowed the lady to escape. Please punish me, my lord!"
Mu Changqing furrowed his brow. "Escaped?"
It seemed he had underestimated her. This woman was far more intriguing than he had imagined.
His gaze deepened as he looked behind him and said, "He Ren, you and He Xin go together. Remember, bring her back to me unharmed."
"Yes!"
He Ren accepted the order, and upon hearing this, He Xin hurriedly got up from the ground and left the manor with He Ren.
The night was already deep; it was best to conceal oneself in the darkness. If they did not leave under cover of night, by tomorrow daytime, it would be nearly impossible to escape!
Yin Luo knew that the influence of this Ghost King was likely spread throughout Capital City. Any slight movement on her part could lead to her being captured again.
If she were captured this time, it would be nearly impossible to escape in the future!
