Chapter 26: Bewilderment (2)

  "Yè Làng, stop messing around, come out." The Seventh Princess started searching the room, but couldn't find him anywhere. "Could he be standing outside in a daze? He likes to do that sometimes. No, it's still pouring rain outside."

  "Princess, why hasn't Young Master Ye Lang arrived yet... Princess, what are you looking for?" The maid walked out from inside, originally intending to call Ye Lang in so she could attend to his bath, but instead found the princess searching around the entire room.

  "Yè Làng, Yè Làng doesn't know where he's hiding, you guys hurry up and help find him, who was just with him..." Seventh Princess said somewhat anxiously.

  "Princess, it seems like we're all serving you with your bath, and no one is accompanying Young Master Ye Lang... In the past, it was always Tai Ya who accompanied him." The maid replied, her voice a bit weak.

  "Yes, it used to be Tayah who accompanied him, we're all used to it. Just now I forgot to leave someone to watch him, don't know where he's run off to now. You guys check every room." Seventh Princess said with a furrowed brow, while also going to confirm an inference she didn't want to guess at, and walked towards the door.

  "Have you seen Ye Lang, that idiot?" Seventh Princess pushed open the door and asked the guard at the entrance.

  "I saw him, he ran out alone not long ago." The guard replied, and at this time, it seemed that something was wrong, his face started to change a bit.

  "What? He ran out alone? You let him run out alone?" Seventh Princess immediately rebuked in anger.

  "We thought he was going home." The guard replied weakly, usually at this time, Ye Shi San Shao could come and go as he pleased, entering and exiting very freely, so the guard didn't stop him from leaving.

  It was just that at ordinary times, there would always be a tiger girl by his side, but this time he was alone, and that's the problem.

  "Can he go home alone? You know he's different from others, do you think I'd let him go home by himself? And it's raining and thundering outside... Send someone to catch up with him immediately!!!" The Seventh Princess was furious, this was an attitude she had never shown before, no matter how big the situation was, she always remained calm.

  "No way, I'm going to find him too!!" Seventh Princess wanted to go out directly, but she forgot that she was only wearing a nightgown now. If she went out like this, it would become a scandal.

  Fortunately, at this moment a maid was quick-witted and quick-handed, pulling the seventh princess back and hastily saying: "Princess, you can't go like this now. They'll find Young Master Ye Lang, outside is very windy and rainy, just wait for news here."

  "Let go, you also know it's windy and rainy outside, he'll get sick if he gets rained on. I don't understand him, we clearly agreed to stay here today, why did he still want to leave?" Seventh Princess couldn't figure it out, she didn't understand why Ye family's Thirteenth Young Master wanted to leave.

  If she knew why Ye Shi San Shao left, she would definitely be furious and scold him as a fool, an idiot, and a complete moron.

  "I'm going to tell Hu Niang that I won't be returning tonight and will stay at my wife's place." These were the words spoken by Shi San Shao as he left.

  For many years, he had never been apart from Hu Ya for a single day, not even for an hour, let alone a whole night. But today, he was going to stay in the imperial palace while Hu Ya remained at home.

  He knew that Hu Dan would definitely worry about him, so in order not to let her worry, he had to go back and tell her that he would be staying in the imperial palace, telling her not to worry.

  If he could go back and inform them, then he wouldn't have to stay in the palace. Would Hu Yan still let him go back in the rain?

  He wouldn't think about it, he just knew that he couldn't let Hu Niang worry about him. Even if he knew there was a big storm with thunder and lightning outside, he had to go back and tell Hu Niang not to worry.

  Thirteen was running under the rain, in the imperial palace, no one stopped him because everyone knew who he was. There was nowhere in the entire palace that he couldn't go.

  So, the thirteenth young master ran out of the imperial palace and rushed to Ye's residence. In fact, Ye's residence was not far from the imperial palace, and the area where the nobles lived was naturally also near the imperial palace, making it convenient for them to attend court while also being able to be neighbors with the emperor.

  Of course, this is not too far but not very close either. Shi San had to run all the way back home, at least twenty minutes if he could keep running like that.

  At that time, the Thirteenth Young Master was holding an umbrella, a very expensive umbrella made of golden silk fabric and with a gold-inlaid frame. This was the kind of umbrella that a spendthrift like him should use, one that he had bought during one of his spending sprees.

  It's just that now is a thunderstorm weather, holding such an umbrella will have a high probability of being struck by lightning, which is equivalent to holding a lightning rod while moving.

  The Thunder God and Mother seemed to be giving face, and gave a beautiful lightning bolt to the umbrella of the Thirteenth Young Master.

  Rumble...

  "Ah..."

  Thirteen suddenly emitted a burst of electric light all over his body, let out a miserable cry, and then fell onto the street filled with rainwater. In that instant, it seemed as if he saw the area around him, where waves of electricity were wildly roaming about.

  At that time, the Thirteen seemed to feel a current flowing through his body, even more stimulating his brain. This was not the electric current of lightning, although it might have been brought by the lightning, but he felt that this was not that kind, but another very mysterious current, a feeling that cannot be described in words.

  What is this? Shi San Shao didn't even have time to think before he fell into a deep coma.

  ……

  "Found him, Ye Langjun is on the ground, but why does he smell a bit burnt? Could it be... could it be that the lightning just struck him?" A group of royal guards appeared on the main street, and what they saw first was the troublesome umbrella, followed by the sight of the thirteen-year-old who had been struck by lightning, now bearing all the characteristics of having been electrocuted.

  Fluffy curly hair, slightly charred and smoky skin, clothes were also destroyed...

  Is he still alive? Everyone who saw this situation would have thought of it at the first time. The person struck by lightning seems to have a very low survival rate.

  However, the royal guards present at the scene suddenly came up with another idea in an instant.

  He must be alive, otherwise it will be a big trouble!

  That's right, if Ye Jia Shi San Shao is now dead, then this group of people will suffer, although not to the point of death, but they will still be unlucky.
