Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

"Huh, whatever you want."

Seeing Nangong Yan so excited, Xiao Yuhan didn't want to waste any more time arguing with him, feeling that he was hopeless.

"Xiao Yuhan, can't you say something nice?"

Nangong Yan didn't expect Xiao Yuhan would be too lazy to argue with him.

"Nice words? You can't listen to what I say that is truly good for you. What do you want to hear? False words? It seems that you are really used to being flattered..."

Xiao Yu stood up from the stool angrily and scolded Nangong Yan angrily.

"Xiao Yuhan, I have given you the courage to accuse you like this?"

Nangong Yan was also so angry that he slammed the table, his eyes wide open, looking at Xiao Yuhan in disbelief.

"In that case, then just pretend that I never said anything."

Xiao Yuhan turned around indifferently and no longer looked at Nangong Yan.

"Xiao Yuhan, you are deliberately trying to make things difficult for me, aren't you?"

Nangong Yan was hurt by Xiao Yuhan's indifferent attitude and shouted at him without caring about his image.

"No, I tried to persuade you kindly, but you were stubborn and refused to listen. So I just didn't bother to talk to you anymore. You and I are strangers to each other, so there is no need for me to be hard on you..."

Xiao Yuhan spoke with his back to Nangong Yan in a very calm tone.

"Okay, okay, what a stranger, I really misjudged you..."

After saying this, Nangong Yan turned around and was about to walk out.

"Wait a minute"

When Xiao Yuhan saw Nangong Yan was about to leave, she called out to stop him.

"Why, what do you want to say?"

Nangong Yan stopped and turned to look at him.

"Get me a carriage. I want to go out."

Nangong Yan was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Xiao Yuhan with a hint of barely perceptible panic and said in a trembling voice:

"Are you going?"

"Is it not possible?" Xiao Yuhan asked back.

"But you haven't completed what you promised me yet. You can't break your promise."

"I promised you that I would never break my promise, but if I really want to use it on your brother, I will have to leave the palace to find other materials."

Seeing that Xiao Yuhan was not really leaving, Nangong Yan finally felt relieved. He was secretly annoyed with himself for being spineless and always being led by him.

He calmed down a little before speaking: "Do you need me to provide you with some help?"

"No, I can arrange it myself."

"When will you go?"

"We'll be leaving in a minute. It's useless to sit here. Why not go out for a walk?"

"But you are still injured. There is no rush. Why don't you rest for two days before going..."

"It's just a minor injury, and I'm just out looking for materials, not fighting."

"Since you insist on going, Lone Horse will make the arrangements for you."

"Thank you."

"No, just be safe."

Nangong Yan saw that Xiao Yuhan was not talking, so he turned around and left.

Seeing that Nangong Yan had really left, Chu Xi and Nangong Yu, who were standing at the door, walked in.

"Xiao Yuhan, what did you promise his royal brother?" Chu Xi and Nangong Yu heard the conversation between the two clearly outside and were confused.

"Nothing, just get ready, we'll be leaving the palace soon."

Xiao Yuhan didn't want Chu Xi to know too much. After all, it wasn't a big deal. With the Holy Gu, all his insect Gu were useless, not to mention hurting Nangong Yu.

It was just an excuse I made up just to get them out of the palace.

"Did his brother ask you to help him refine the insect poison?"

Chu Xi is not stupid. The palace door is not closed and she heard everything clearly just now.

Xiao Yuhan looked away and did not answer Chu Xi's words.

"Do you have any leverage over him?" Nangong Yu looked at Xiao Yuhan calmly.

He knew about the night when Xiao Yuhan and his brother were in the secret room. Although his consciousness was hazy, he could hear their conversation clearly and understood that Xiao Yuhan had no intention of hurting him.

"It is, and it isn't." Xiao Yuhan glanced at Chu Xi and spoke in a calm voice.

"Xiao Yuhan, why didn't you say it before?" Chu Xi didn't expect that Xiao Yuhan was also threatened. Seeing that he was treated so well, he thought that he had a good relationship with Nangong Yan.

"It's no use talking about it, and I can handle this matter."

Xiao Yuhan felt mixed emotions when he saw Chu Xi was worried about him.

"How do you know it's useless if you don't tell me? There is strength in numbers."

Chu Xi said unconvincedly that this damn cousin Da Zhuang was looking down on her, she was not weak.

Besides, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. Even if the brains of the three of them combined are as good as pigs, they are definitely better than those of Nangong Yan.

"How big? How can three men with bare hands defeat an army of thousands?"

Xiao Yuhan was speechless and reached out to tap Chu Xi's head.

"That's not that big..."

Chu Xi covered his aching forehead and spoke awkwardly.

"Okay, we're ready to go."

Xiao Yuhan caught a glimpse of a eunuch approaching in the distance and guessed that Nangong Yan had already made all the arrangements.

On the other side, Commander Li led his men to search one place after another. Finally, in an empty yard, they found signs of someone living there.

Commander Li looked at the furniture in the room that had been moved, the tea sets on the table that had been used, and the new bedding on the bed. He guessed that this should be the place where Nangong Yu was hiding.

"Report to the commander, a guard was found knocked unconscious."

"Take me to see it..."

Commander Li turned and left the room, then saw a stripped man lying unconscious on the ground in the corner.

"He shouldn't have gone far. Come on, follow me and guard the palace gate."

Commander Li suddenly realized something and ran quickly to the palace gate.

At this time, Chu Xi and Xiao Yuhan were sitting in the carriage, while Nangong Yu disguised himself as a coachman and drove the carriage slowly to the palace gate.

"Stop, routine inspection."

The guard on duty at the palace gate raised his hand to signal the carriage to stop. According to the custom, carriages leaving the palace must be checked.

Nangong Yu stopped the carriage obediently.

The guard at the palace gate had good eyesight and knew at a glance that the carriage in front of him was the emperor's imperial carriage. So he did not ask any more questions, but just glanced at the pass and walked around the carriage before letting it pass.

"Well, you can go now."

The guard waved his hand, indicating that Nangong Yu could drive away.

"Wait a minute, don't leave yet."

Commander Li rushed to the palace gate in a hurry and happened to see a carriage about to go out. He immediately shouted to stop it.

The sound startled several people in the carriage. Have they been discovered?

Chu Xi's heart was pounding. She glanced at Xiao Yuhan nervously, and her hands clenched unconsciously.

In contrast, Xiao Yuhan was very calm, because he could tell that the voice just now was not Nangong Yan's.

Nangong Yu had a blank expression on his face, and his slightly narrowed peach blossom eyes showed a hint of displeasure.

"Meet the Commander..."

The guard saw Commander Li approaching quickly and bowed to him respectfully.

"Um"

Commander Li hummed lightly, then looked at the carriage beside him and said seriously:

"Who is in the carriage?"

"Commander, this is His Majesty's carriage." The guard lowered his head and replied.

"Your Majesty?" Commander Li was surprised.

Is this His Majesty's car? Who is His Majesty in it?

"Yes, this is your Majesty's car." The guard confirmed again.

"Your Majesty, I am sorry for the offense just now. Please forgive me..."

Upon hearing this, Commander Li immediately saluted towards the people in the carriage.

There was silence in the air at this moment. Commander Li waited for a while but there was no response from the people in the carriage. He couldn't help but feel suspicious. He shouted respectfully towards the carriage again:

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty..."

Xiao Yuhan then raised his hand and gently lifted the curtain, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was a little unhappy, and looked at Commander Li outside the car and said in a deep voice:

"Your Excellency is so polite. I am not His Majesty. I just had to go out for something and borrowed His Majesty's car."

Commander Li looked up in surprise and asked, "Who is this distinguished guest of Your Majesty?"
