The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

On the Dongling Seashore, the huge ship was ready, and soldiers holding torches were guarding the cave entrance. The jumping flames reflected the calm faces.

"My king, I am ready."

A person beside Wei Qingjue stepped forward to report, with excitement flashing in his eyes. As a person placed in the dark by His Highness, now that he finally has his own place to use his talents, how can he not be excited?

"Okay, I will make sure those who dare to covet it never return."

His voice was cold, and his dark green pupils looked even more eerie in the night.

Qian Hui stood quietly at the side, lowering his head, but his inner excitement was fully reflected in his slightly trembling body.

Such a brilliant king was the reason why he was willing to follow him in the first place.

Ignoring his subordinates who had different thoughts, Wei Qingjue tapped his head lightly with his knuckles, and then looked at the person beside him.

"Are there any news about Bai Ju? Where are the people we sent out to explore the secret passage?"

"Your Majesty, Bai Ju was taken away in a hurry, and no trace was found along the way. I have sent people to look for towns within a radius of 500 miles. Once there is any news, report immediately."

Qian Hui paused, a confused look appeared on his face.

"The people who were exploring the secret passage did come back, but after they left the cave you mentioned, they saw other forked roads. Those roads... led directly to the bottom of the sea."

Straight to the seabed?

If Wei Qingjue remembered correctly, he clearly remembered that the place where he fell was a dense forest, and then he found the exit on the coast under Yun Nian's guidance.

Are those roads that lead directly to the bottom of the sea hidden in some mechanism?

These sewer rats like to dig holes. Under the sea? Those guys living in the scorching desert, aren’t they afraid of drowning when they come from the bottom of the sea?

His hand slid to his chest and felt something hard and slender, and a smile appeared on his face.

……

Ning Sinian felt that he was really unlucky. Since last winter, things seemed to be going badly for him.

Not only did Yun Nian suddenly dislike him, he married a prince's wife who was in a coma, and then his bad deeds were exposed.

After finally escaping, he caught a confidant of Wei Qingjue on the way, but this guy was too noisy.

"Prince, if you can untie my acupuncture points, I can walk by myself. Or if you can't move me, you can just leave me here."

"You see, I'm not light either. It's a lot of effort for you to drag me. It's better to throw me away and be done with it."

"Prince, it's a bit too hot. Can you turn me over? Even if it's grilling meat, both sides should be grilled evenly, right?"

"Sir..."

Bai Ju continued to talk, even though his voice was a little hoarse and the dryness in his throat made him want to drink water madly.

But he still didn't stop. In such an environment, if someone chatters in your ear, your anger will be ignited immediately.

How could someone like Ning Sinian be able to outlast the trained secret guards in terms of persistence? Even though Bai Ju's martial arts skills were not particularly high,

He wanted to continue talking, but the person who was dragging him couldn't stand it anymore.

"Can you please shut up? My patience is limited. Don't think I won't kill you. Do you want to know what happened to those disobedient servants in my mansion?"

The Prince of Jinyang, oh, no, now it should be said that he is the illegitimate son of the late emperor. After all, his father, the Prince of Jinyang, would not want to recognize this cheap son.

He dragged Bai Ju impatiently through the desert. The scorching sun shone on his head, and his skin was burning. How could a young man who had always lived a life of luxury endure this?

So he simply threw the person aside and said to the woman who followed him silently,

"You come and take him."

If the venomous snake had not run away to who knows where, why would he have to swallow his anger and just let it bite him, not afraid that Bai Ju would not obey.

He was a little annoyed. Nun Shanmiao, who was Ning Sinian's real mother, had sunburn marks all over her face. She was old but still had to follow Ning Sinian around, but she didn't look resentful at all.

"Okay, let me do it. Do you want to take a break? You're so tired. You..."

"Why rest? There's not even a shady spot here. Am I supposed to lie down directly on the sand?"

Shan Miao didn't pay attention to his thorny tone. To her, after seeing her son, she seemed to devote her whole heart to him.

"You can bury your body in the sand so that you won't be exposed to the sun, and then I'll sit next to you to block the sun for you."

She didn't know if it would really work, but she had to give it a try.

But Ning Sinian stood aside with a frown on his face.

"Impossible. Who am I to do such an indecent thing? In the final analysis, it's you who's useless. You said someone would come to pick me up? Why hasn't anyone come yet?"

If all the nails he had set had not been pulled out by Wei Qingjue, he would not have been in such a miserable state. Damn it, how did that guy find out?

The nun Shan Miao who was accused by him just explained in a low voice,

"The Imperial Master said that as long as we reach the center of the desert, he will be waiting for us there. This place is still too close to Da'an. If he meets us here, he will be discovered."

"Tsk, who knows if he is lying to you? When I get to Ke Luo, I will go and see who you trust so much."

The journey continued, but Bai Ju had been quiet for a long time. He looked at the raised edge of the desert in the distance, and felt that there was a layer of dark shadow on the sand at the edge. He didn't know if it was an illusion.

He did not remind Ning Si Nian, but just kept it in mind silently, watching them getting closer and closer.

There was a strange, slight sound approaching slowly, or rather, they were approaching the place where the sound came from. As secret guards, they were naturally very sensitive to such sounds.

"Hey!"

"what happened again?"

Ning Sinian shouted impatiently, raised his eyes and saw Bai Ju's unusually solemn expression.

"Don't you realize there's something here?"

He looked in the direction that Bai Ju was looking at. As far as he could see, a deep shadow appeared on the edge of the desert. Upon closer inspection, the shadow seemed to be moving.

"what is that?"

"You ask me? How do I know?"

Bai Ju replied unhappily, and then continued,

"I just heard that there are many terrible animals in the desert. How about you untie my acupuncture points so that I can still run with you."

Hearing this, Ning Sinian, who was a little uneasy at first, suddenly calmed down, speaking with disdain,

"So you wanted to scare me into untying your acupuncture points. Humph, wishful thinking. Once I unty your acupuncture points, you'll run away."

The shadow was getting closer and closer. Bai Ju saw the dense mass and blurted out,

"Stupid as a pig!"
