Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

Chapter 228 Xiao Xixi, can you perform magic tricks?

"Okay, let's skip this topic. Anyway, you have to get better soon, so that we have a chance to escape from here..."

Chu Xi's tone became cheerful, and then she took out some food from the space in the Fire Cloud Bracelet.

"You must be hungry. Eat something to fill your stomach first."

Nangong Yu looked at Chu Xi performing a magic trick and his expression brightened.

"Xiao Xixi, have you ever learned to sing opera before?"

"No, what's wrong?"

Chu Xi didn't understand why Nangong Yu asked this.

"No, then how can you make food appear like a magic trick?"

Nangong Yu quickly returned to his usual nonchalant state and kept asking Chu Xi questions.

"Eat quickly, so many questions."

Chu Xi rolled his eyes at him.

After settling Nangong Yu down, Chu Xi rushed back to his residence before dawn.

Chu Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the other palace maids were still sleeping.

Yan Jingshuo searched the entire palace but couldn't find Chu Xi, except where Nangong Yan lived.

It was not until dawn that I discovered that the door of a courtyard was covered and there was a faint light inside.

Yan Jingshuo walked in cautiously and went down along the secret passage.

The secret room was filled with half-dead people, the same scene Chu Xi saw when he just entered. Yan Jingshuo frowned.

When he walked to the innermost secret room, he saw several people lying on the floor and an empty rack.

Yingyi squatted down to check the bodies lying on the ground and found that only one person was dead, and the other two were just unconscious.

"Master, this wound seems to have been caused by the princess's weapon."

Ying Yi looked at Pharmacist Xiao's wound on the ground and analyzed.

"It seems Xi'er has rescued the person."

Yan Jingshuo's tone was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or sad.

"Should we care about those two unconscious people?" Ying Yi carefully noticed that they showed signs of waking up.

"To prevent future troubles, let's just kill him."

Ying Yi received the order and directly struck the two unconscious people on the ground with a sword.

The two people who had originally had a lucky mentality were completely ruined and ultimately could not escape the arrangement of fate.

"Master, now that we have solved it, what should we do next?"

"Xi'er and the others shouldn't have gone far. Let's look for them a little longer."

"Yes"

Yan Jingshuo turned around and walked out. Just as he reached the entrance of the secret passage, several guards came over to take over their shift.

"who?"

The guard spoke up alertly.

Ying Yi rushed forward and tried to knock them down. One of the guards saw that the situation was not good and immediately shouted:

"Here comes an assassin."

The sound just happened to alarm the patrolling soldiers outside, and a large number of soldiers rushed over here.

Yan Jingshuo calmly kept a certain distance from the soldiers and led them out of the palace.

The news quickly reached Nangong Yan's ears.

"What, Nangong Yu was kidnapped?"

Nangong Yan was shocked and immediately sat up from the bed.

"Has the assassin been caught?"

"No, they have already escaped from the palace."

A guard knelt outside the door and respectfully reported to Nangong Yan.

"A bunch of rubbish, why don't you chase them quickly..."

Nangong Yan was so angry that he started to wonder who had taken Nangong Yu away.

"Yes, I will chase him immediately."

"Wait, what's the situation in the secret room now?"

Nangong Yan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Reply...Reply to Your Majesty, Pharmacist Xiao is dead."

"What? What's going on?"

Nangong Yan's eyes revealed shock and disbelief. If Pharmacist Xiao died, wouldn't his plan be ruined?

Damn it, who on earth ruined his good thing.

"Come here, change your clothes."

Nangong Yan put on his clothes and rushed to the secret room immediately.

Coming to the secret room and looking at the cold body of Pharmacist Xiao lying on the ground, Nangong Yan had to believe this fact.

"Your Majesty, Young Master Xiao is here."

Xiao Yuhan heard the noise in the room and originally thought it was none of his business, but he was worried that the assassin was Chu Xi, so he rushed over.

"Why are you here too?"

Nangong Yan was surprised at Xiao Yuhan's arrival.

"I was woken up, so I followed over to take a look."

As soon as Xiao Yuhan entered the secret room, he saw a corpse lying on the ground. He squatted down to check and found that the wound was unique, caused by a sharp weapon he had never seen before.

"Judging from the injuries, he should have been killed in one blow."

Xiao Yuhan slowly stood up and casually glanced at the rack, only to find it empty.

"Um"

Nangong Yan's expression turned gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Have you caught the assassin?"

Xiao Yuhan pretended to speak casually.

"no"

Nangong Yan frowned. He became so annoyed because he didn't know who was so bold as to kidnap Nangong Yu.

Without Nangong Yu, would his experiment still be successful?

"Why don't you send someone after them?"

Seeing Nangong Yan standing there with a stern face, wondering what he was thinking about, Xiao Yuhan couldn't help but remind him.

"We have already sent people to pursue them. According to the guards, those assassins are highly skilled in martial arts and escaped from the palace easily."

Nangong Yan's look towards Xiao Yuhan became profound.

"Looking at me like this, are you doubting me?"

Seeing Nangong Yan staring at him with an unfriendly look, Xiao Yuhan spoke up and exposed the issue.

"How dare you? Young Master Xiao is my guest. How could I doubt Young Master Xiao?"

Nangong Yan smiled calmly. He thought it would not be Xiao Yuhan. But so far, Nangong Yan has only brought him here.

Also, he actually came over tonight to show concern, which makes people doubt his motives.

"Nangong Yan, put away your suspicious look. I have never met your brother before. It will be of no use to me to kidnap him."

Xiao Yuhan's tone was cold. He had always known that Nangong Yan was a suspicious person, so he just made it clear.

"I am too lonely and worried."

Seeing Xiao Yuhan's unhappy expression, Nangong Yan quickly apologized.

"There is more than one assassin. Nangong Yan, how many clones do you think this young master can create?"

Xiao Yuhan spoke coldly, then turned around and left.

"Xiao Yuhan, I..." I didn't really doubt you.

Nangong Yan saw that Xiao Yuhan was really angry and wanted to explain, but because of his status, he swallowed his words.

He looked at Xiao Yuhan's leaving back with helpless eyes.

Walking out of the secret room, Xiao Yuhan finally felt relieved. As long as Chu Xi was not caught, everything would be fine.

Then he began to feel annoyed, annoyed that he was a little too nosy and would get scared at the slightest sign of trouble.

But, was the silver-haired man really rescued by Chu Xi?

What was her relationship with the silver-haired man? Why did she take such a risk?

Yan Jingshuo led the pursuers out of the palace, creating the illusion that Nangong Yu had been rescued from the palace, and only then was he able to completely shake off the pursuers.

"What about people?"

The leader of the guards, holding weapons in his hands, led a group of guards to the intersection of the street, only to find that the assassin had long disappeared.

"Leader, what should we do?"

"Take your men to search over there, I'll go this way..."

The leading guard pointed in another direction and spoke quickly.

"Yes"

The pursuers quickly split into two groups and chased after them.

Yan Jingshuo saw the pursuers go far away, then he slowly walked away from the corner.

"master"

Ying Yi appeared behind Yan Jingshuo.

"Find a way to send some people to sneak into the palace and find the princess and the others as soon as possible."

"Yes"

Chu Xi pretended to have just woken up and got up to wash up with everyone else.

"Hey, hey, hey, did you hear that?"
