Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

"There's a high chance that he was captured for research?"

Yan Jingshuo said this almost in an affirmative tone.

If he was really captured for research, he would most likely still be alive.

Chu Xi breathed a sigh of relief when he thought that Nangong Yu was not dead. At least he was not dead.

"Where will it be hidden?"

Chu Xi frowned even deeper and murmured softly.

"With Nangong Yan's usual style of doing things, it is very easy to hide people. But if he wants to do research, he will definitely not come blatantly, and the research work requires a large number of manpower, and it must be convenient for him to check at any time."

Yan Jingshuo analyzed slowly and calmly.

"It needs to be a large place with enough manpower and it needs to be convenient for him to inspect. With his current special status, he needs to be able to move around easily. There is only one place that can meet all these conditions at the same time, and that is - the Imperial Palace?"

Chu Xi said excitedly, the surprise in his eyes almost overflowing with words.

Yan Jingshuo took in all the changes in Chu Xi's expression and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. Could just guessing the approximate location of the white-haired monster make Xi'er so happy?

Could it be that Xier...really fell in love with him?

"Your Majesty, do you think my guess is correct? Your Majesty...???"

Chu Xi called out in confusion when she saw Yan Jingshuo didn't respond to her.

"Well, I'm..."

Yan Jingshuo came back to his senses and immediately looked at her with a gentle expression.

"Your Majesty, do you think Nangong Yu is really hidden in the palace?"

"possible"

Yan Jingshuo looked at Chu Xi's little face and nodded slightly.

"If this is the case, what should we do next?"

Chu Xi turned around and sat face to face with Yan Jingshuo.

"Xier..."

Yan Jingshuo did not directly answer Chu Xi's question, but called her softly.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

Chu Xi also noticed Yan Jingshuo's abnormality, and when she looked at him, her beautiful eyes were filled with a hint of confusion.

"Do you really want to save him?"

Yan Jingshuo stared at the girl in his arms with deep eyes. After a moment of silence, he slowly asked this question.

"Your Majesty, I..."

Seeing Yan Jingshuo looking at her like this, Chu Xi's heart was suddenly filled with guilt.

Looking at those affectionate eyes, Chu Xi suddenly realized that her mind had been full of thoughts about how to save Nangong Yu recently, and she had ignored Yan Jingshuo's feelings.

She knew how she should treat Nangong Yu and Yan Jingshuo if she really saved Nangong Yu. After all, she didn't want to hurt anyone.

However, if he was not rescued, Nangong Yu would definitely die.

And I will definitely feel guilty for the rest of my life.

If he was saved, how would he face the prince? With the prince's childish mind, he would definitely be very sad.

Chu Xi suddenly felt very embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

"Your Majesty, I...I...don't know..."

Chu Xi started to stutter because he felt guilty.

Yan Jingshuo did not give Chu Xi a chance to escape. He raised his hands and gently held Chu Xi's face, forcing her to look him in the eye, and said seriously:

"Xi'er, I want to hear you tell the truth..."

In fact, Yan Jingshuo had already guessed the answer on the way to the South Country, but he still wanted to hear Chu Xi say it again in person.

"My Lord, I, I, I..."

Chu Xi was trembling, her head held by Yan Jingshuo, unable to move. Her eyes rolled around in panic, and she didn't dare to look at the handsome face so close to her.

"Xi'er, you can say it boldly. I'm definitely not angry..."

Yan Jingshuo's tone was as gentle as usual, and he was helpless with Chu Xi. He really loved the little woman in front of him. He actually wanted to save that monster for her, and he was a love rival with opposite status.

Seeing that Yan Jingshuo really showed no signs of being angry, Chu Xi took a few deep breaths before speaking hesitantly:

"My Lord, I want to save him."

"why?"

"Because I don't want him to die like this."

As soon as Chu Xi said this, Yan Jingshuo instantly lost some of his rationality. His black eyes seemed to be painted with ink, so thick that it could not be dissolved, and there was a trace of unspeakable sadness in them.

His expression instantly became a little hurt, like a puppy abandoned on the roadside, looking at her pitifully, and then asked Chu Xi sadly in a hoarse voice:

"Why did you save him? Did Xier fall in love with him?"

"No, Your Majesty, don't think too much."

Chu Xi was so anxious that he quickly shook his head to deny it.

"Really not?"

Yan Jingshuo kept his eyes on Chu Xi, trying to see her true thoughts deep in her heart through her eyes.

"It's absolutely true, truer than real gold. Your Majesty, you must believe me. I only love you in this life."

Chu Xi felt uneasy when Yan Jingshuo stared at her, so she quickly opened her mouth to express her true feelings.

"But Xi'er, if you really save him, it will be a very dangerous thing. You might even lose your life."

"Your Highness, I know this will be very dangerous. But I don't want to give up any chance to save people, just like when I was looking for the antidote for Your Highness. I knew it was a dead end, but I still wanted to try it myself. In the end, there is always a way out, and things have taken a good turn.

I believe this time too, there will always be a good solution.”

Chu Xi said to Yan Jingshuo with sincere eyes.

"But is he really worth the risk?"

As soon as Chu Xi mentioned the past experience of looking for an antidote for him, Yan Jingshuo's heart began to be touched.

If Chu Xi had not taken the bold risk, he might still be suffering from the toxins or have died long ago.

"It's worth it. Nangong Yu once saved me. If it weren't for Nangong Yu's help, I would have been killed by the men in black sent by Murong Xue."

"Kill?"

Yan Jingshuo suddenly remembered that Yanhuo had also mentioned this matter. That was when Xier had just escaped from his secret room and was chased by a man in black.

"Yes, so... I can't just watch him die without helping him. I hope Your Majesty can forgive me for my stubbornness."

Chu Xi looked at Yan Jingshuo with a bit of guilt in his eyes, but his words were very firm.

"Okay, I'll save him this time, and I'll help Xi'er repay his kindness."

Yan Jingshuo thought for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for understanding me. Your Majesty, you are so kind to me."

Seeing Yan Jingshuo agreed, Chu Xi happily reached out and hugged him.

"It's my duty to be nice to you, but before that, Xi'er has to compensate me first..."

Yan Jingshuo also reached out and gently held Chu Xi in his arms.

"How can I make it up to you? Can I cook you a nice meal?"

Chu Xi let go of Yan Jingshuo and looked up at him in confusion.

"That must be more than that. Xi'er should understand what I mean..."

Yan Jingshuo said with a smile, buried his head in Chu Xi's fair and slender neck, greedily smelling the fragrance on her body, and subconsciously opened his mouth and kissed her lightly.

"Hehehe... Your Majesty... Don't do this, I feel itchy..."

Chu Xi was so amused by him that she giggled and raised her hand to push Yan Jingshuo's head away, but found that she had no strength at all.

"Xi'er, you smell so good!"

Yan Jingshuo spoke as he moved, and his large palm gently wrapped around the soft little hand that tried to push him away. He kissed slowly down with a warm kiss...

"Your Highness, this is the hall. It's not good to be seen like this..."
