The Saintess’ carriage happened to stop near a fork in the road.

Wei Xu did not meet her. Instead, he turned the corner and ran away through another path.

In order to save Cheng Qingxue, the Holy Maiden had not slept for the entire night and exhausted a large amount of vitality. She was a little dispirited.

Therefore, she did not pay attention to Wei Xu.

When Emissary Lu went to the location of the battle to investigate, she found out that the envoy of the Great Zhou had arrived.

At the entrance of the palace, the princess was kidnapped.

She suddenly realized that it might be the person who rode the horse just now. Unfortunately, the other party had already gone far away and could not catch up.

On the other side, Xie Jinnian looked at Emissary Lui s departing back and thought of the Saintess he had mentioned. He suddenly remembered where the feeling of déj? vu came from.

Wasn’t the person who snatched the Great Zhou Princess Wei Xu, who had been missing for many days?

In the Southern Wilderness, the number of people who had seen Wei Xu’s true appearance could be counted on one hand. Other than the Saintess and her trusted aides, there was only the King of the southern border and his trusted aides.

Xie Jinnian was one of them.

He glanced at the minister of the Honglu Temple who was panting as he walked over.

Halfway there, a guard of the Great Zhou came forward and whispered in his ear.

The minister’s expression changed. “Are you sure you didn’t see wrongly?”

The guard hesitated for a moment and said seriously, “I’m not sure. That person’s movement technique is too fast. There was some flour on his face. I didn’t see it clearly. I just feel that he looks a little like General Wei Xu.”

The minister fell into deep thought.

If it was Wei Xu, why did he take Princess Hui An away?

He even injured so many Great Zhou guards.

This didn’t seem like something he would do.

Wei Ting had once announced in the throne room that Wei Xu had been captured by the people of the Southern Wilderness. Although he had not publicized it among the commoners, the minister of the Honglu Temple, who was an official of the Imperial Court, knew.

“So Wei Xu is still alive… No, we can’t be sure that that person is Wei Xu yet.”

“Lord Wang.”

Xie Jinnian walked over.

Wuhu had already landed on his shoulder and obediently sat still.

The minister of the Honglu Temple had just arrived in the capital and had yet to meet Xie Jinnian.

Xie Jinnian had deduced his identity based on his official uniform.

Xie Jinnian was dressed as an eunuch, but he was handsome and tall. His aura was dazzling.

The minister of Honglu Temple was thinking about who the other party was when a royal guard from the Southern Wilderness greeted Xie Jinnian. “Eunuch

Jin.”

Xie Jinnian nodded.

The minister of the Honglu Temple had done his homework. Along the way, he had been collecting information about the bureaucracy of the Southern Wilderness, including the four great families and eight tribes, as well as the popular person with the Southern Wilderness King.

The Honglu Temple minister cupped his hands. “So it’s Eunuch Jin.”

Xie Jinnian cupped his hands and bowed. “Lord Wang, you don’t have to be so polite. What happened today was our mistake. I will report it to His Majesty. I believe His Majesty will definitely mobilize his elites to save the Princess of the Great Zhou as soon as possible.”

The minister replied worriedly, “Thank you.”

Suddenly, the Great Zhou guard leaned over and whispered something to the Honglu Temple minister.

The minister of Honglu Temple looked at Xie Jinnian suspiciously. “My subordinates heard that that person pointed out the Saintess as the mastermind. Is that true?”

Xie Jinnian said calmly, “That person did say that. Whether it is a false accusation or the truth, we will definitely give the Great Zhou an explanation after investigation.”

Half an hour later, in a side hall of the Southern Wilderness palace, the Saintess met the King of the Southern Wilderness.

The King of the Southern Wilderness dismissed the palace servants and guards, leaving only Xie Jinnian present.

Xie Jinnian reported everything to the King of the Southern Wilderness, including Wei Xu’s accusation of the Saintess.

If it were anyone else, they might not have the confidence to accuse the Saintess. Even if they did, they would have to weigh their tone or polish it a little—perhaps they had heard wrongly.

Xie Jinnian would not.
