Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

"Brother, I don't have any."

Sun Yuqiong responded with her head lowered, completely devoid of the arrogance and pride she had just shown.

Seeing this, the man in black sighed and said, "Just for fun, don't take it seriously. Don't forget the important things that the master told you to do..."

"Yes, I know."

"Since you insist on taking them back, you must keep an eye on them and don't let them run away."

The man in black said this and turned to leave.

"Yes, I will."

Sun Yuqiong looked at the black-clad man's departing back and responded with resentment.

Over here at the Southern Palace,

Xiao Yuhan came to the South Study and looked at Nangong Yan, who was busy reviewing memorials at the desk, with a cold expression.

Noticing someone approaching, Nangong Yu slowly raised his head and was surprised to find that it was Xiao Yuhan. He smiled at him:

"Didn't Young Master Xiao go out of the palace to look for materials? Why did you return so soon?"

"Nangong Yan, what are your intentions?"

Xiao Yuhan looked at Nangong Yan's hypocritical face with a frown, as if he didn't know him. He couldn't see what Nangong Yan was thinking.

"Heh, what's my intention? I don't quite understand what Master Xiao said?"

Nangong Yan put down the brush in his hand, stood up and walked down the stairs.

"Huh, don't you understand? Then why did you let someone follow me?"

Xiao Yuhan snorted coldly.

"I am just worried about Young Master Xiao's safety, so I sent someone to follow him. This way, at least someone will be able to take care of him."

Nangong Yan did not feel the slightest bit of guilt for being caught. Instead, he smiled and slowly approached Xiao Yuhan.

"Nangong Yan, how many lies do you have?"

Xiao Yu clenched his fists angrily, trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Lies? When have I ever told a lie? My true feelings for you are evident to all, but you just can't see it."

Nangong Yu looked at Xiao Yuhan's slightly red eyes and sneered.

"Nangong Yan, do you really want to threaten this young master with innocent people?"

Nangong Yan was stunned for a moment, then he turned his face away and smiled bitterly:

"If I don't do this, will you stay here to keep me company?"

Xiao Yuhan was furious when he heard this. Was he going to target Chu Xi and his clansmen just to get him to stay?

"Nangong Yan, no matter what, it's between you and me. And you dragged innocent people into this. You really disappoint me."

"That's enough, Xiao Yuhan. Don't always look at me with your self-righteous attitude. I am the emperor and I don't need you to criticize me too much."

"Haha, okay, okay, you are the emperor, so you can sacrifice everything to achieve your goal?"

"This world is a place where the strong prey on the weak. What's wrong with me?"

"Yes, you are right. It is me who is wrong. I should not have sacrificed myself to save you."

Xiao Yuhan was extremely disappointed when he saw Nangong Yan acting so confident.

"Xiao Yuhan, you just can't see the good in me."

"What's good? Your good thing is to use my people as a target? Let 30,000 light cavalry march across the mountains and massacre my Miao people?"

Xiao Yuhan roared angrily. He felt too heartbroken at the moment.

He treated him like a brother, but he stabbed him in the vitals with a knife, cutting off his retreat.

"You...know everything?"

Nangong Yan, who had just been arguing, was stunned. He thought his plan was flawless, but he didn't expect Xiao Yuhan to know it so quickly.

"Oh, you still want to hide this from me?"

Xiao Yuhan just felt heartbroken.

"No, do you want to hear my explanation?"

Nangong Yan hurriedly grabbed Xiao Yuhan's arm in panic.

"Okay, if you want an explanation, then explain what exactly is going on with these 30,000 light cavalry?"

Xiao Yuhan brushed Nangong Yan's hand away and looked at him coldly.

"You are wrong. I never said I would hurt your people."

"I didn't say that. Then what are these 30,000 light cavalry used for, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Yuhan obviously didn't believe it.

"The 30,000 light cavalry were only used to strengthen the border defense, and they were not actually used to attack and harm the Miao people."

"Your Majesty, do you think I will believe it? I am not a three-year-old child."

"Xiao Yuhan, even if a war really breaks out, I will never let them hurt the Miao people in the slightest.

Nangong Yan swore solemnly.

"Oh, but that's not what your majesty just told someone to say."

"I was just afraid that you would really leave, so I let them lie to you?"

"Your Majesty has so many excuses."

"No, this is the truth."

"That's enough, Nangong Yan, put away your hypocrisy."

"What hypocrisy? Don't you understand my feelings?"

Seeing that Xiao Yuhan didn't believe it, Nangong Yan instantly became anxious.

"This young master doesn't want to understand. If you really dare to hurt the Miao people, I, Xiao Yuhan, will never coexist with you."

After Xiao Yuhan finished speaking, he turned and left.

Nangong Yan quickly reached out and grabbed him: "Where are you going? You are not allowed to leave..."

"Let go, don't force me to fight you."

"Xiao Yuhan, please don't leave. Can you stay?"

Nangong Yan lowered his voice.

"open"

Xiao Yuhan didn't want to say anything more. She just felt that Nangong Yan was too hypocritical and she couldn't see through him.

"No, Xiao Yuhan, I beg you."

Nangong Yu held Xiao Yuhan's hand tightly.

"Nangong Yan, it is this young master who is begging you, please let the Miao people go."

Xiao Yuhan had his back to him, his voice trembling slightly.

"I promise you that I will never hurt the Miao people, as long as you are willing to stay."

"When a general is away from home, he may not obey the orders of the emperor. I'm afraid that Your Majesty will not have the final say. I can't gamble with the lives of thousands of people in my Miao tribe."

"Then I will withdraw my troops. Is that ok?"

Nangong Yan looked at Xiao Yuhan's back anxiously, and his voice became a little humble.

"Then wait until His Majesty really withdraws."

Xiao Yuhan shook off Nangong Yan's hand and walked out without looking back.

"No, Xiao Yuhan, you can't leave."

Nangong Yan helplessly watched Xiao Yuhan walk out of the study, but he didn't have the courage to chase after her. Tears began to fall from the corners of his eyes.

"Do not……"

"Your Majesty, do you need me to bring him back?"

A dark shadow appeared behind Nangong Yan and asked in a deep voice.

"No, since he doesn't believe anything I say, let him go back and see for himself that I am not as cruel and heartless as he thinks."

Nangong Yan's eyes were still fixed on the door, and he felt indescribably lost and bitter.

Does he really not understand his heart at all?

Or has he always known about it, but just doesn't want to admit it? Does he think this is an unspeakable relationship, too shameful?

"Yes, then, will the army continue to advance?"

"keep going."

"Your Majesty, this..."

"We have to fight, but we need to send a message to General Wu, telling his soldiers not to harm the Miao people at all, or they will be beheaded."

Nangong Yu changed his humble attitude and his expression became extremely vicious.

"My subordinates will do it now."

After leaving the palace, Xiao Yuhan rode his horse quickly towards the State of Yan, hoping to return to the Miao tribe before the army arrived.

The ship sailed for several days and nights and finally docked in a remote town.

As soon as they got off the boat, Chu Xi and Nangong Yu had their hands tied and their eyes blindfolded with black cloth, and then got on a carriage.

"So mysterious?"

Seeing that they were taking a boat and riding in a car with their eyes blindfolded, Chu Xi couldn't help but pout and complain.
