Chapter 703 The Missing Letter

"I see. This is what happened. I was negligent and didn't take this into consideration. However, we will pass by the post station tomorrow. Princess, please have a good rest then. Tonight, I hope you will make do with me."

Murong Yu looked normal, and there was no sign of any problem. Xiao Yue felt a little relieved, looked away, and spoke impatiently.

"Forget it, I will just bear with it for a while. But tomorrow I must have a good rest at the post station, otherwise no one will let me continue on my journey!"

Murong Yu smiled faintly, "Okay, it will be as the princess wishes."

On the second day, in the evening, the Xilin envoys and the Beiyang wedding procession finally arrived at the post station.

After staying in tents for several nights in a row, many people were very happy to finally be able to rest in the inn.

Qiao Fu and Qiao Rong quickly prepared hot water for Xiao Yue so that their princess could have a good hot bath.

Although Xiao Yue was physically and mentally exhausted, all his thoughts were focused on how to convey the message. After a simple bath, he sent Qiao Fu and Qiao Rong away and stayed alone in the room. He wrote a letter to record what he had overheard and the message for help.

But holding the letter, Xiao Yue began to feel troubled again.

Although this post station still belongs to Beiyang, and the postmen in the post station are all from Beiyang, if I rashly hand the letter to them, if one of them leaks the news, or directly takes the letter to Xilin to exchange for benefits, then I will be finished.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yue felt that the letter she had just written suddenly became hot to the touch. She felt that what she had been planning to do, which was to ask the postman to deliver the letter after arriving at the post station, was not so reliable.

Holding the letter in her hand, she couldn't help pacing back and forth in the room. After thinking for a long time, she put the written letter directly on the candle and lit it. After it was all burned, she wrote a new one.

However, this time he did not write in his own name, nor did he sign the letter. He just wrote down Xilin's conspiracy and stated that someone must rescue the fifth princess.

After finishing writing, Xiao Yue checked it over and over again, and only sealed it after making sure there were no problems. She thought that she would find a chance to quietly drop the letter off in the post station before leaving tomorrow.

In this way, by the time the postman found out, even if he wanted to use it to exchange for favors from Xilin, they had already left.

The most important thing is, even if we take a step back and say that this letter is finally discovered by Xilin’s people, at least it will not be immediately blamed on me.

Thinking about this, Xiao Yue finally felt at ease. After hiding the letter, she asked someone to prepare a meal for her.

After all, this post station was quite remote, and the conditions were naturally not as good as those in the imperial city. In addition, with so many people suddenly arriving, the postmen were overwhelmed, and the meals they delivered were only one meat dish and one vegetable dish.

Qiao Fu and the others were originally worried that Xiao Yue would be dissatisfied, but Xiao Yue did not say much. After finishing all the food, she took a short break and went to the bed to rest.

Xiao Yue had not slept well for two consecutive nights, and her highly tense nerves finally relaxed a little. She slept very soundly. When she woke up the next day, the team outside had already started packing up and were ready to set off.

Xiao Yue simply washed up, then told Qiao Fu and Qiao Rong to go downstairs first. She planned to quietly take the letter and find a place to slip it before leaving.

But she remembered clearly that she had placed the written letter in the gap between the bed and the quilt last night.

But after searching again and again for a long time, Xiao Yue still couldn't find the letter.

Seeing that the time to set off had arrived, Qiao Fu and the others were already outside reminding them, and Xiao Yue was a little panicked.

It was clearly placed next to the bed, how could I not find it!

Xiao Yue searched all the bedding on the bed, even under the bed, but still couldn't find the letter.

"Princess, Xilin is urging you to come. Are you ready?" Qiao Fu's voice sounded again outside the door.

"It will be soon. This princess will go out right away." Xiao Yue replied while searching all the places in the house where things could be hidden, but still found nothing. The letter was gone.

"Princess, is there something that has delayed you? How about I go in..."

"No need!" Xiao Yue's heart was beating fast. Seeing that she couldn't find it, she finally opened the door and said, "Okay, let's go."

Qiao Fu looked at Xiao Yue, who was still wearing the same dress as before, and it looked a little messy, and she felt confused.

"Princess, didn't you say you wanted to change your dress?"

"You've been urging me outside the room, so I don't have time to change." Xiao Yue was flustered and said unhappily, "Let's go, remember to take the rest of the things in the room with you."

"Yes." Qiao Fu responded, looking at the messy room, she felt even more confused.

But she didn't say anything else. Instead, she quickly packed up the remaining things and followed Xiao Yue downstairs.

The teams from both countries are ready and are waiting outside the post station.

Under everyone's gaze, Xiao Yue got on the carriage.

But the moment she entered the carriage, she was so frightened that she almost screamed.

I saw that the letter that I had been looking for for a long time was now lying safely in the carriage.

In an instant, all the hairs on Xiao Yue's body seemed to stand up, and he felt as if he was falling into an icy cave.

Of course it is impossible for a letter to grow legs and run into the carriage by itself. The only explanation is that someone put it in.

Xiao Yue quickly turned her head and looked at Murong Yu in the team.

The other person was riding on a horse and noticed Xiao Yue's gaze. He also looked at her with his usual smile on his face.

But at this moment, when Xiao Yue looked at this smile, she felt as if she was stared at by a poisonous snake, and she shuddered all over.

Murong Yu knew!

Murong Yu must have known!

This letter was definitely sent by Murong Yu!

Not only did he know what he wanted to do, but he also took out the letter from his room without anyone noticing and put it in the carriage...

Xiao Yue swallowed, looked away with difficulty, and tried hard to suppress the urge to run away.

Murong Yu knew that he had heard everything, but he did not kill me immediately to silence me. Now he put the letter in the carriage...

Was it a threat? To remind himself that since he could easily get into his room and get the letter, he could also take his life without anyone noticing?

However, if Murong Yu wanted to kill him, there were plenty of opportunities and there was no need to do so.

Or maybe Murong Yu didn't intend to kill himself, or maybe he didn't intend to kill himself now.

And this letter was just deliberately torn after he found out that I wanted to report the news, and then he was waiting for me to come to him?
