Confusion (2)

"Ye Lang, stop playing and come out." The Seventh Princess began searching the room but couldn't find him. "Could he be spacing out outside? He just loves spacing out like that. No, it's raining heavily outside right now."

"Princess, why hasn't Young Master Ye Lang arrived yet... Princess, what are you looking for?" A maid came out from inside. She had intended to call Ye Lang in so she could help him bathe, but she found the Princess searching the room for something.

"Ye Lang, Ye Lang, he's hidden himself somewhere. Hurry and help me look! Who was with him just now..." the Seventh Princess said, a little anxiously.

"Princess, we were all serving you during your bath, no one was with Young Master Ye Lang... Taiya used to accompany him," the maid replied, her voice a little weak.

"Yes, Taiya used to accompany him, we've all gotten used to it. We forgot to have someone keep an eye on him just now. I don't know where he's run off to. Search every room," the Seventh Princess said, frowning. At the same time, she went to confirm a deduction she didn't want to consider, walking towards the door.

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

"Yes, he ran out alone not long ago," the guard replied. At this moment, he seemed to realize the problem, his expression changing slightly.

"What? He ran out alone? And you just let him run out?" the Seventh Princess immediately reprimanded him angrily.

"We thought he was going home," the guard replied weakly. Normally, the Thirteenth Young Master Ye could come and go as he pleased; his entry and exit were very free, so the guards didn't stop him.

But that was normal times. Normally, Tiger Girl would always be with him. Just now, he was alone, and that was the problem.

"Going home? Can he go home alone? Don't you know he's different from others? Would I let him go home alone? Besides, it's raining and thundering right now... Send people to chase him immediately!!!" the Seventh Princess roared. This was an attitude she had never shown before. Even if something major happened, she could always remain calm.

"No, I have to go find him too!!" The Seventh Princess wanted to go out directly, but she forgot that she was only wearing a nightgown. If she went out like this, it would cause a scandal.

Fortunately, at this moment, a maid, with quick eyes and hands, pulled the Seventh Princess back and said urgently, "Princess, you can't go out like this. They can go find Young Master Ye Lang. It's windy and rainy outside. You just need to wait for news here."

"Let go of me! You know it's windy and rainy outside. If he gets rained on out there, he'll get sick. I don't understand him. He clearly said he'd stay here today, why did he leave?" The Seventh Princess was confused. She didn't understand why the Thirteenth Young Master Ye had left.

If she knew the reason why the Thirteenth Young Master Ye had left, she would have been so angry she fainted, calling the Thirteenth Young Master an idiot, a fool, and a complete simpleton.

"I need to tell Tiger Girl that I'm not going back tonight and will be staying at my wife's house." This was what the Thirteenth Young Master had said to himself before leaving.

In all these years, he had never been separated from Tiger Girl, not for a single day. No, to be more precise, he had never been separated for more than an hour, let alone a whole night. And today, he was supposed to stay in the palace, but Tiger Girl was at home.

He knew Tiger Girl would worry about him. To stop her from worrying, he had to go back and tell her that he would be staying in the palace and that she shouldn't worry.

However, if he could go back to inform her, then he wouldn't need to stay in the palace. Would Tiger Girl still let him go back in the pouring rain?

He wouldn't think about this. All he knew was that he couldn't let Tiger Girl worry about him. Even though he knew there was strong wind, heavy rain, thunder, and lightning outside, he had to go back and tell Tiger Girl, so she wouldn't worry.

The Thirteenth Young Master ran through the palace in the thunderstorm. No one stopped him because everyone knew who he was. There was nowhere in the entire palace he couldn't go.

And so, the Thirteenth Young Master ran out of the palace and headed towards the Ye Manor. In fact, the Ye Manor wasn't too far from the palace. The area where the powerful families lived was naturally near the palace, convenient for attending court and also for being neighbors with the emperor.

Of course, "not too far" didn't mean very close. For the Thirteenth Young Master to run home would take at least twenty minutes, if he could keep running like this.

At that time, the Thirteenth Young Master was holding an umbrella, a very expensive one. It was made of gold-threaded fabric, and the frame was also inlaid with gold. This was an umbrella befitting a prodigal son, one he had bought during one of his extravagant spending sprees.

However, it was a thunderstorm, and holding such an umbrella greatly increased the chance of being struck by lightning. It was like carrying a lightning rod around.

As if on cue, the god of thunder and the goddess of lightning seemed to oblige, striking the Thirteenth Young Master's umbrella with a bolt of lightning.

"Boom..."

"Ah..."

The Thirteenth Young Master's entire body emitted an electric glow. He let out a scream and then collapsed on the rain-soaked street. In that instant, it seemed as if currents of electricity were surging all around him.

At that moment, the Thirteenth Young Master felt a current flowing through his body, stimulating his brain even more. This wasn't the current from the lightning, although it might have been caused by it. He felt it wasn't that kind of current, but another, very magical current, a feeling that was hard to describe.

What is this? Before the Thirteenth Young Master could even think, he had already fallen into a deep coma.

"Found him, Young Master Ye Lang is on the ground. Why is there a slightly burnt smell? Could it be... could it be that lightning strike hit him just now?" A group of royal guards appeared on the street. The first thing they saw was the troublesome umbrella, and then they saw the Thirteenth Young Master, who had been struck by lightning. He now had all the characteristics of being electrocuted.

His hair was messy and curly, his skin was slightly dark and had a faint burnt smell, and his clothes were also ruined...

Is he still alive? Everyone who saw this situation would have this thought immediately. The survival rate for people struck by lightning is extremely, extremely low.

However, after a moment, the royal guards present immediately had another thought.

He must be alive, otherwise, it would be a huge problem!

That's right, if this Thirteenth Young Master Ye were to die now, then all of them would be in trouble. Although they wouldn't necessarily die, they would certainly face misfortune.
