Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

In the Southern Study, Nangong Yan had just finished reviewing today's memorials and was sitting in a chair, rubbing his brows and closing his eyes to rest.

"Your Majesty, Commander Li wants to see you for something." The eunuch reported to Nangong Yan cautiously.

"Let him in..."

Nangong Yan replied with his eyes closed.

"Yes"

At this time, a man in guard uniform walked in and saluted respectfully towards Nangong Yan:

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

"Commander Li, how's the search going? Have you found the person?"

Nangong Yan slowly raised his head and looked at Commander Li who was kneeling on the ground, and asked in a slightly tired voice.

"Your Majesty, not yet..." Commander Li lowered his head even lower and replied in a low voice.

"What's going on? Don't you have any clues?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yan's brows, which had just relaxed, frowned again, with an extremely displeased expression.

"Your Majesty, since the assassin disappeared that night, the city gates were immediately sealed and every corner of the city was searched, but no suspicious traces were found."

Commander Li gritted his teeth and reported the truth.

“What’s going on? Such an obvious feature, are you blind? Why can’t you find it…” Nangong Yan stood up and questioned angrily.

"Your Majesty, calm down. I will search again and find the Second Prince."

Commander Li knocked his head heavily to the ground and said.

"Have you really searched the entire city?" Nangong Yan had calmed down by now and asked again.

"Your Majesty, we have searched them all."

"No trace of anything?"

"No." Commander Li nodded solemnly without hesitation.

He personally led the search team these two days, and searched every corner of the city, but he didn't see any trace of the Second Prince or any suspicious people.

The two assassins seemed to have disappeared out of thin air and were nowhere to be found.

"What about the palace? Have you looked for it?"

Nangong Yan suddenly thought of the assassin from last night. He had such great skills that he could have killed him. But the assassin didn't do that. Instead, he let him and Xiao Yuhan go.

What on earth are they trying to do? They seem to be looking for something?

"Your Majesty, no." Commander Li was stunned when he heard this. How could he forget such an important place.

"No, go find it quickly..."

Nangong Yan reacted instantly and realized that they had fallen into someone else's trap.

"Humph, what a good trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain." Nangong Yan snorted angrily.

"Yes, I will do it right away."

Commander Li responded and retreated, immediately arranging men to begin blocking the entire palace.

At this time, Chu Xi and Nangong Yu were sitting in Xiao Yuhan's hall, staring at each other. Suddenly, they heard a lot of footsteps outside the hall, and Chu Xi immediately stood up and walked to the door to look.

"Xiao Yuhan, what's going on? Why are there so many soldiers?"

Nangong Yu walked to Chu Xi's side, listening to the sounds outside with his eyes slightly narrowed.

When Xiao Yuhan heard Chu Xi ask him, he opened his slightly closed eyes, with an expression that he had expected it, and looked at Nangong Yu without a trace of emotion:

"It seems that your brother has guessed that you are still in this palace..."

Nangong Yu turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yuhan without saying a word.

"What? It was discovered so quickly?" Chu Xi was surprised.

"Faster? Your reaction is already considered slow..."

Xiao Yuhan was speechless. He just realized that he had been tricked. He could only say that he was not too stupid.

"Then why didn't he search before? Why is he searching now?" Chu Xi asked the doubts in his heart.

These past two days she has been wondering why, after Nangong Yu was rescued, there was no movement in the palace, and not even a search team was seen?

"It was your man who deliberately led the pursuers out of the palace, making Nangong Yan mistakenly believe that you had escaped from the palace."

Xiao Yuhan looked at Chu Xi and spoke calmly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Nangong Yu's heart skipped a beat and he froze in shock.

It turned out that the popsicle was secretly helping them delay time.

"Your Highness?" Chu Xi understood instantly. No wonder she had lived so peacefully these past few days. It turned out that Shuo Shuo was helping her.

Chu Xi felt indescribably complicated. Too many things had happened in the past two days, and sometimes she really didn't know how to face Yan Jingshuo.

Shuo Shuo loved her so much, but she did something to hurt him.

"Hmm..." Xiao Yuhan glanced at the two people who were standing there, and continued: "Don't be stunned. Now think about whether there is any way to escape from the palace quietly."

"Just wait until night time and use your lightness skills to fly out." Nangong Yu spoke without even thinking.

"I'm afraid it's not safe. Nangong Yan has already noticed something. He must have set up layers of defenses at the palace walls. I think if I use my Qinggong skills to leave the palace, I will definitely fall into his ambush easily." Xiao Yuhan analyzed with a frown.

It's not that he hadn't thought of this method, but it would be inconvenient to move with Chu Xi. If he was discovered, the situation would become extremely dangerous.

"What about that?"

Nangong Yu did not refute, because he knew that his brother's character was actually crazier than his, and he would do anything to achieve his goals.

I would rather both sides suffer losses than let anyone go easily.

"The best thing would be to disguise yourself and leave the palace." Xiao Yuhan said calmly.

"How to disguise? You need a reason to leave the palace." Chu Xi sat opposite Xiao Yuhan and asked him with his chin supported.

"Reason?" Xiao Yuhan couldn't think of any good reason, because he was also invited and was not familiar with the situation in the palace at all.

Nangong Yu stood quietly at the door with her arms folded, her eyes looking into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.

He had not expected today's situation. So many people would risk their lives for him.

How can he be so virtuous?

"Xiao Yuhan, what is your relationship with his brother that he lets you live in such a nice place?"

Chu Xi looked at Xiao Yuhan curiously.

"We just know each other, there is no relationship."

Xiao Yuhan avoided Chu Xi's gaze and spoke calmly.

"Oh...really? Then he is really too good to you, letting you live in a place like this and not restricting your freedom."

Chu Xi's voice was a little teasing. She didn't believe that there was no relationship at all. Instead, she felt that their relationship was not simple.

"I only saved him once, and nothing else."

Xiao Yuhan felt uncomfortable being looked at by Chu Xi and started to explain again.

"Oh, so he's my savior." Chu Xi curled her lips in boredom.

"What do you think about every day, woman?"

Xiao Yuhan was irritated by Chu Xi and looked at her with a slightly annoyed expression.

"No, what can I think about? I don't think about anything..."

Chu Xi straightened up and replied with his neck straightened out guiltily.

Chu Xi guessed that Xiao Yuhan might not have any idea about Nangong Yan, but Nangong Yan probably didn't think so. How could a grown man live in the emperor's harem? Moreover, the emperor hadn't taken a concubine yet. I heard that he didn't even have a concubine before.

This is unbelievable, could it really be what she thinks?

Oh...if it's true, it makes me excited just thinking about it.

It can strongly satisfy her curiosity as a rotten girl.

The cold and abstinent young master VS...VS...what is good?

"Chu Xi, take away your obscene look, you disgust me..."

Xiao Yuhan got goose bumps when Chu Xi looked at him, and his body trembled unnaturally.

"What? How am I obscene?"

Chu Xi quickly retracted her fujoshi thoughts and stubbornly fought back in embarrassment, her ears unconsciously turning slightly red.

"Your face is red, and you still say no..."

Xiao Yuhan's face turned completely dark. Did this damn woman want to piss him off to death? What was she thinking about all day?

Sometimes I really want to pry open her head and see what kind of waste is inside?

How come he fell in love with her?
