Chapter 235 Leaving the Palace to Look for a Girl
Ye Feng respectfully greeted the king: "Your Highness."
"What have they been doing these days?"
Ye Feng reported what he had observed truthfully: "They haven't gone out in the past few days."
After hearing this, the king frowned, obviously confused and puzzled: "They are clearly looking for me, but now they have been staying in the mansion. This behavior is indeed quite abnormal and does not conform to common logical reasoning."
Ye Feng analyzed patiently, "Yes, Your Majesty. According to what I have learned, they have indeed never left their home. As for their true thoughts and specific plans, I am incompetent and cannot speculate for the time being."
The king further asked: "So, what did you find out about the beggar woman?"
Ye Feng responded: "Your Majesty, I have seen the legendary beggar woman. She is not a real princess."
After hearing this, the woman smiled faintly and continued to explain, "That female beggar is my long-lost daughter, Li'er. Like me, she has mastered the superb skills of disguise. The person you saw dressed as a female beggar was disguised by her."
The king's brows relaxed: "It seems that I must go and meet them in person."
Just as the king was about to leave, he was stopped by Ye Feng. Ye Feng anxiously advised, "Your Majesty, it is extremely risky for you to travel now, and it is very easy to expose your identity. Please think twice and leave this matter to me. I will do my best to bring the princess back to you safely."
The king's face suddenly changed after hearing this, and he looked extremely displeased. He angrily accused Ye Feng: "It has been a while since I asked you to find the princess, but you have not completed your mission yet. Now you tell me that you can bring the princess back. This is ridiculous!"
Faced with the king's angry rebuke, Ye Feng did not dare to refute at all. He could only respond in a humble tone: "But... Your Majesty..." However, before Ye Feng could finish his words, he was interrupted coldly by the king.
"Ye Feng," the king said coldly, "Listen to me carefully, you are just one of my servants. You are not qualified to dictate my actions! How I act is my freedom and decision." After saying that, the king turned around and prepared to leave without waiting for Ye Feng to react.
Seeing this, Ye Feng hurriedly stepped forward and earnestly requested, "In this case, let Ye Feng accompany the king. I am willing to serve the king at my utmost."
However, the king firmly rejected Ye Feng's request: "No need, you have more important things to deal with." After saying that, the king no longer paid attention to Ye Feng's following gaze, but walked straight to the door.
Ye Feng looked at the king's back as he left, and an inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart. It was a deep admiration and loyalty to the king, mixed with a little reluctance and worry. He and the king had known each other for a long time. Ye Feng had been by her side since she was a teenager, and became one of her most trusted and capable assistants. They had experienced countless ups and downs together. Whether it was dealing with big or small affairs or protecting the king's safety, Ye Feng always went all out and never let the king down. This time, the king had to act alone, and Ye Feng was really worried.
Although Ye Feng knew that as a subordinate, he should not interfere with the king's decision, the worries deep in his heart made Ye Feng unable to calm down. Ye Feng stood on the steps of the palace, watching the king's back gradually go away. However, at this moment, Ye Feng's mood was full of anxiety and uneasiness. This time the king's action was different from any previous time. He did not bring Ye Feng or other followers with him, but decided to go alone. He decided to secretly protect the king and ensure the king's safety.
Ye Feng took a step and followed the king. He hid his figure in the dark, and only kept in touch with the king with a weak sight and breath. Such a distance would not let the king notice his presence, and ensure timely assistance at the critical moment. Ye Feng knew in his heart that the king's trip was not a simple play or inspection, but to find his daughter who had been missing for many years. In order to facilitate the action, the king even disguised himself as a handsome man. If Ye Feng had not known her every move, it would be difficult to recognize the true identity hidden under the deep face.
The moonlight sprinkled on the earth like water, reflecting the king's resolute and slightly vicissitudes of life. She rode slowly out of the palace on horseback, her figure looking lonely and resolute in the moonlight. At this moment, she only had the firm determination to find her missing daughter and the endless longing for her, intertwined together. It was as hot as a raging fire, burning her heart. The night wind followed the king silently, keeping a certain distance to avoid the king being discovered.
Ye Feng followed silently, observing everything around him, always ready to deal with possible dangers. He knew that his mission was not only to protect the king's safety, but also to ensure that the king could successfully find his missing daughter.
