When Hu Ni heard the sound, he rushed out of the room immediately. When he saw that Ye Siming had indeed returned, he almost cried tears of joy.
“Brother Wolf!” Hu Ni opened his hands, wanting to pounce over and give Ye Siming a bear hug.
Unexpectedly, just as he ran near him and before he could hug him, Ye Siming pressed a hand on his head.
“Uh…” Hu Ni moved his arm in a daze and realized that the distance between them had been blocked by Ye Siming! He couldn’t get close to hug him at all!
This cold-blooded wolf!
Ye Siming looked up at the sky.
“I’ll send you back. There’s still time.”
After saying that, he squatted down and gestured for Gu Nuo’er to lie on his back.
The child quickly leaned over obediently and even wrapped her arms around Ye Siming’s neck.
Hu Ni stomped his feet and said, “I’m afraid that it’ll be too late. Even if the noble consort doesn’t wake up at this time, the palace servants should be awake too, right?”
Gu Nuo’er blinked her black eyes. “Elder Brother Siming, I’ll hug you tightly!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Siming tapped his toes and jumped onto the roof.
Then, his tall figure stepped on the roofs and ran far away in the blink of an eye.
Hu Ni narrowed his eyes. “Brother Wolf is really cool.”
Suddenly, an exclamation came from behind him. “Who are you?! Why are you in our marquis’s courtyard?”
Hu Ni was stunned and turned around. Butler Chang was standing behind him with widened eyes.
“This… listen to my explanation. I was arranged to be here by the marquis. Oh my! Old man, why are you hitting me with a broom? Can’t you listen to my explanation?!”
“Someone, catch the thief! Someone!” Butler Chang shouted.
Ye Siming leaped onto the roof and returned to the palace. He ran to the Qiushui Palace with ease.
However, before he could climb in through the window, he heard Noble Consort Qiao’s cries coming from inside.
“Your Majesty, what should we do? Nuo’er has disappeared again. An hour ago, this consort found out that she wasn’t sleeping on the bed. The spot where she should have been lying was cold. She clearly ran away long ago!”
Right on the heels of that, the emperor instructed anxiously, “Chunshou! Go and mobilize the imperial guards to find the princess’s whereabouts.”
Ye Siming stood by the window and stopped in his tracks.
A hint of hesitation appeared on his long eyebrows.
This was because when the child behind him heard her parents’ anxious conversation, her breathing was actually stable and smooth.
Ye Siming turned his head slightly and called out in a low voice, “Gu Nuo’er?”
The child didn’t respond to him.
Ye Siming moved her to the front.
Gu Nuo’er’s thick eyelashes were closed and she had actually fallen asleep.
Her long eyelashes that were like butterfly wings cast a cute shadow on her porcelain-white skin.
It also showed that the child was a little tired.
She hadn’t rested the entire night and was indeed exhausted from running around in the Asura Realm.
Lying on Ye Siming’s back made her feel extremely at ease.
The child was so sleepy that her eyelids fluttered. After a while, she fell asleep.
At this moment, her cheeks were rosy and tender like white pearls.
Ye Siming carried her in his arms. The child seemed to have sensed something and even shrank her small body, finding a more comfortable position.
She lay in his arms peacefully.
A hint of gentleness appeared between Ye Siming’s cold brows.
After some consideration, he carried Gu Nuo’er around to the main entrance of the Qiushui Palace.
When he approached the courtyard, he happened to bump into Chunshou, who was in a hurry to pass down the order.
Chunshou exclaimed, “Marquis, I didn’t knock into you, did I? This servant will apologize to you another day. The princess has disappeared and His Majesty is in a hurry to look for her!”
When Ye Siming heard this, he pursed his thin lips and didn’t say anything. However, Chunshou suddenly reacted.
He widened his eyes and looked at the child sleeping soundly in Ye Siming’s arms.
“Princess! Isn’t this the princess?!”
