Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

"So he didn't eat a single bite?"

"Not really. Sometimes I open the door and bring it into the room, but not every time."

Eunuch Li answered truthfully.

"Okay, I see."

Nangong Yan knew that Xiao Yuhan was in seclusion refining the poisonous insects, because Xiao Yuhan had promised to help him refine the poisonous insects.

But man is made of iron and rice is made of steel, and it is not good for the body to always eat one meal and skip the next.

When Eunuch Li saw that Nangong Yan didn't say anything else, he planned to leave.

"Ask the imperial kitchen to make some nourishing ginseng soup and send it over..."

Just after Eunuch Li took several steps back, Nangong Yan's voice rang out again.

"Yes, old slave, let's do it now."

"Forget it, I'll go see him myself."

After Nangong Yan finished speaking, he put down the brush in his hand, stood up and walked out.

At this time, Xiao Yuhan was in the room carefully observing the new insect poison he had just refined.

As long as he handed it to Nangong Yan, he planned to leave.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Xiao Yuhan thought it was the palace maid who brought food, so he said without raising his head:

"Just leave the food at the door."

Nangong Yan, who was standing outside the door, became quite unhappy when he heard Xiao Yuhan's words, so he shouted:

"Master Xiao, it's me."

Xiao Yuhan's dark green eyes slowly turned towards the door, his lips pursed tightly, his brows slightly furrowed, and his voice was neither cold nor indifferent:

"What's the matter?"

"Open the door first..."

Nangong Yan was not annoyed by Xiao Yuhan's cold attitude. After all, it wasn't the first day he knew him, and he treated everyone like this.

After a while, Xiao Yuhan opened the door.

Nangong Yan didn't even wait for Xiao Yuhan to invite him and walked straight into the room.

"What's the matter with me?"

Xiao Yuhan looked at Nangong Yan, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and was somewhat surprised that he would behave in a childish manner that was inconsistent with his status.

"It's okay. Can't I come to see you?"

Nangong Yan briefly looked around the room, then turned and looked at Xiao Yuhan with a smile.

"It's best for us to just talk about business. It's better to see each other less often if there's nothing else to do."

Xiao Yuhan poured cold water on him rudely.

"Heh...you are still so unkind. It's a shame that I still miss you."

Nangong Yan walked gracefully to an exquisitely carved chair and sat down gently.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Xiao Yuhan didn't understand what Nangong Yan was selling. He felt something was strange and awkward when they met and talked this time. This was completely different from his previous personality.

"Xiao Yuhan, how is the matter I asked you to do going?"

Nangong Yan was slightly annoyed by Xiao Yuhan's wooden behavior, and was so angry that he called him by his full name.

"It's already fine, but..."

Xiao Yuhan did not notice anything unusual about Nangong Yan. He just thought it was the normal mood swings of a king. He answered the question Nangong Yan had just asked honestly.

"It's done so quickly? Just what?"

Nangong Yan was shocked that Xiao Yuhan had mastered the Gu so quickly. He thought it would take at least ten days, half a month, or even longer.

After all, his real goal was not the poison in Xiao Yuhan's hand, but Xiao Yuhan himself...

"But this Gu is quite special. When ordinary people use it, they have to be extra careful because this Gu insect is very cunning. If you are not careful, it will bite you back, and the consequences will be disastrous."

Xiao Yuhan placed a small black box on the table next to Nangong Yan and instructed him with an extremely serious expression.

Nangong Yan looked at the exquisite black box in front of him, and the smile on his face gradually faded:

"Why don't you ask who I want to attack?"

"It's none of my business."

Xiao Yuhan still had no expression on his face. He felt that it didn't matter who Nangong Yan attacked, it had nothing to do with him.

As long as Nangong Yan promises not to touch Chu Xi, he doesn't care who it is.

"Aren't you afraid that I might attack the little woman you're traveling with?"

Xiao Yuhan took two steps to Nangong Yan, looked coldly at Nangong Yan who was smiling harmlessly in front of him with his green eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"You promised me not to touch her, otherwise we will be irreconcilable."

"Hehe...you want to turn against me for a woman? Is she that important to you?"

"You forced me to turn against her. She was innocent to begin with."

"I just said it casually. Since I promised you, I will definitely not touch her at all. The premise is that as long as she is in the South Country, she will not ruin my good deeds..."

"You'd better keep your word."

Xiao Yuhan was so angry that he turned his head away, not wanting to look at the cunning fox in front of him anymore.

"I always keep my promises to you. Since this Gu is so special, I have to trouble Young Master Xiao to personally help me to make it, otherwise the previous promise will be invalid."

Nangong Yan stood up and spoke slowly.

"can."

In this way, Nangong Yan brought Xiao Yuhan to the dark basement.

Stopping outside the cell where Nangong Yu was imprisoned, the guard opened the door of the secret room.

Pharmacist Xiao, who was doing research in the secret room next door, hurried over after hearing the noise. He knelt down and saluted Nangong Yan:

"See Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty..."

"flat body"

"Thank you, Your Majesty"

"Pharmacist Xiao, have you made any progress recently?"

Nangong Yan looked sharply at the middle-aged man in white robe in front of him, his voice carrying a bit of momentum and majesty.

"Your Majesty, we are still in the testing phase and cannot draw any conclusions."

Pharmacist Xiao was frightened by Nangong Yan's aura and began to stutter when speaking.

In fact, the experiment had made no progress. Every time he got close to Nangong Yu, he felt like he was pricked by a needle and felt dizzy. It was not easy to draw blood.

But he didn't dare tell the truth about all this, for fear that His Majesty would hold him accountable and he might lose his job or even his life.

Nangong Yan narrowed his deep eyes slightly, with a faint smile still on his lips. He took two steps forward and said calmly:

"Pharmacist Xiao, it's been almost a month, what on earth have you been doing?"

"Your Majesty, this kind of thing can only be answered through a large number of experiments. Moreover, the physical fitness of these guards is too poor. None of them can withstand the erosion of the Second Prince's blood."

"Okay, I got it. I'll give you another month to give me a satisfactory answer, or I'll be beheaded."

Nangong Yan said this expressionlessly, his eyes carrying a hint of majesty and indifference.

"Yes, I will do my best and will never let your majesty down."

Pharmacist Xiao was so frightened that his face turned pale as paper, beads of sweat dripped down his temples, and his back was soaked with sweat. His legs were shaking, and he bowed respectfully.

"How is he doing now?"

Nangong Yan bypassed Pharmacist Xiao and went straight to Nangong Yu, looking at Nangong Yu who was tied to the rack and fell into a coma.

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince is fine, he just fainted due to being too weak."

"What happened? Who asked you to abuse him?"

Nangong Yan looked at the bloody scars on Nangong Yu's body and frowned in displeasure.

I am afraid that if he continues to torture me like this, the person will be tortured to death before the experiment is successful.

Thinking of this, Nangong Yan became furious and looked at Pharmacist Xiao with a fierce look.

“Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was the Second Prince who provoked me with words and said bad things about Your Majesty. What he said was too harsh. I was so angry that I hit him a few times, but I didn’t really kill him.

I hit the Second Prince, it is my fault, please punish me, Your Majesty..."

Pharmacist Xiao quickly knelt down and kowtowed, speaking loudly and righteously.

"Heh...did he really say anything bad about me?"

Nangong Yan stared at the back of Pharmacist Xiao's head with cold eyes and asked in a low voice.

Based on his understanding of his younger brother's personality, he knew that this younger brother did like to say things that irritated others. He was just afraid that the words he said were not bad things about him, but about the mouse kneeling on the ground in front of him.
