Chapter 433: 433 takes off from the ground
“Speak,” Ye Jiu said.
“The War King next door was thrown into the Imperial Prison by the Imperial Guard yesterday.” The butler also thought that since Ye Jiu could get the land deed of this house from the War King, he must have had a close relationship with the War King, so he felt it necessary to report the matter.
But Ye Jiu was stunned.
How could Sikong Mo have been imprisoned? It was impossible.
Just yesterday, he had ridden with Ye Jiu back to the inn and even helped Ye Jiu move in here, but in just one night, how could he have been imprisoned?
He is the dignified War King, who would dare…
No, above the War King there is the Emperor, the Princes, the Lords, many people…
And with great power in his hands, he was certainly the envy of many.
Ye Jiu couldn’t help but let her thoughts wander.
Seeing Ye Jiu silent, the butler could only say, “If my lord has no other matters, then I shall take my leave. Should you need anything, just command, and I will be waiting in the front courtyard.”
Ye Jiu waved her hand, signaling him to leave.
Then, she fell into a deep internal struggle.
On one hand, she worried about Sikong Mo; on the other, she felt powerless due to her own identity.
Thinking it over, Ye Jiu finally made up her mind and walked towards the door.
“Little Miss…” Ye Wenzheng called out behind her, but Ye Jiu didn’t hear him because she was in such a hurry.
Ye Jiu ran out of her own gates to the neighboring house, intending to rush straight in, but upon seeing the stern and upright guards at the door, she completely abandoned the idea of charging in.
Treading up the steps, Ye Jiu picked up the hem of her dress.
The steps of the War Prince Residence were very high, a full several dozen. When Ye Jiu got to the top, the guards immediately drew their swords on her.
Ye Jiu immediately stopped, “Two guard brothers, I am a friend of Guard Si Nan, could I possibly ask for you to pass a message to him?”
The two guards didn’t even glance aside, “The War Prince Residence forbids entry to women, all unrelated personnel must leave immediately.”
“I really know Guard Si Nan, I won’t go in, it’s fine if you just call him out for me…” Ye Jiu didn’t finish her sentence when the guards’ swords threatened her further.
“Alright, alright, I won’t call out anymore, I won’t call out…” Ye Jiu retreated while speaking, inwardly complaining that the people of the War Prince Residence were really just as inapproachable as the rumors claimed.
Ye Jiu ran back to her residence and happened to meet her new butler. She blurted out, “Butler, do you have a ladder?”
The butler was cut off halfway when Ye Jiu responded, “Hurry and bring the ladder over, just place it against the wall that borders the War Prince Residence.”
After saying this, Ye Jiu hurried over first.
Looking up at the tall surrounding wall, Ye Jiu couldn’t help but wish she possessed Sikong Mo’s martial arts skills, which would allow her to simply leap over into the neighboring residence with ease.
Ye Jiu couldn’t help but yearn for that ability.
When she came back to her senses, she realized there was a warm current at the location of her Dantian, flowing toward her legs.
Recalling the sensation from yesterday when she took the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Ye Jiu wondered if the pill, which could clear the toxins from her body, might also enhance her martial arts.
Closing her eyes to feel the warm current inside her body once more, it was obviously much stronger than the previous thin strand, a vast improvement. If before it could be compared to a hair, now it was definitely like a small stream.
With a light tap of her toes, she felt as though she was floating in the sky.
Ye Jiu’s eyes remained shut, so she didn’t realize that the moment her toes touched the ground, her body had already left the surface.
