boom!

She crashed heavily into Guan Ning's arms and choked, "Where have you been?"

"Why did you come back so late?"

"I'm so scared here alone!"

"Woooooooo..."

She felt aggrieved like a lost child, and finally met her parents.

Guan Ning's heart couldn't help but ached violently. She felt more guilty and distressed than ever before. Although she was a carefree girl, he was her weak spot.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Yuan Xiang bit his chest hard.

Guan Ning did not yell or dodge, but let her retaliate.

A long time, a long time.

Yuan Xiang's emotions finally calmed down a bit, tears still stained her pretty face. She hugged Guan Ning and raised her head in dissatisfaction, "Why don't you hide?"

"Why should I hide from you? You won't really bite me to death." Guan Ning said with a smile.

A smile suddenly appeared on Yuan Xiang's face, and she glared at him fiercely and fiercely.

Guan Ning reached out to wipe her tears: "How is it, are you used to it here?"

She shook her head like a rattle: "I'm not used to it. I want to go back to Guan's house. Can you take me away?"

Guan Ning frowned silently. His woman was trapped here, but he couldn't take her away for the time being.

"Your Majesty, won't you let me go?" Yuan Xiang seemed to have realized something.

Guan Ning shook his head, looked around, and whispered, "Not really."

"Your father commands tens of thousands of troops in Zizhou, and the old emperor needs my help, so he doesn't dare to do anything."

"The reason I brought you into the palace is probably because I want your father and I to obey."

Yuan Xiang's face turned pale. Although she was willful and capricious, she could understand what this meant.

"Then...then won't you and my father be at his mercy?"

Guan Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's not as serious as you think."

“It’s a kind of checks and balances.”

"I can't take you away for now. Even if your father knew, he wouldn't say anything. After all, the old emperor only took you into the palace to take good care of you. He didn't make things difficult for you."

"Don't worry, you won't be in any danger. Just think of it as a little injustice for me. Stay here first. When the time comes, I will pick you up!" He said seriously.

Yuan Xiang's expression looked better and his eyes widened.

"How long will that take?"

Guan Ning frowned: "This...I can't say for sure, but I promise you, I will do it as soon as possible."

Yuan Xiang felt extremely aggrieved. She didn't want to stay here for a moment. There was no one to talk to her here, and no one to make her delicious food.

She had become accustomed to the atmosphere of the Guan family. She felt a sense of unknown panic when she was asked to stay alone in this strange place, but when she thought that she was doing this for Guan Ning, she bit her lip.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Then can you come and keep me company? It's not fun for me to be here alone, and I'm very scared. They say that if someone dies in the palace, they won't be discovered for years."

"I'm afraid of ghosts." As she said this, she leaned into Guan Ning's arms.

Hearing these childish words, Guan Ning, who was in a serious mood, was instantly amused.

"Fool, there are no ghosts in this world."

"Are you going to agree or not?" Yuan Xiang was angry and acted coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I will come in to accompany you often." Guan Ning comforted her. After all, Yuan Xiang was taken away by people from the palace at Guan's house. This was his responsibility. He felt very guilty for not taking good care of Yuan Xiang.

"That's better." Yuan Xiang snorted and stopped crying. It seemed that she didn't feel uncomfortable when she was with Guan Ning.

Guan Ning held her and did not let go, but his mind was in a mess, thinking about how to get Yuan Xiang out.

Her situation was different from Chen Wanjin's. Chen Wanjin was burned to death, and she was really burned to death, but if something happened to Yuan Xiang, the old emperor would definitely be suspicious and might even conduct an autopsy from multiple parties.

Moreover, when Guan Ning came in just now, he had already sensed several obscure auras. They should be masters of the Imperial Guards who were responsible for guarding this place.

If you want to steal someone, it is definitely not that easy.

evening.

Guan Ning had a meal with Yuan Xiang before leaving.

When leaving, she was reluctant to go and tears were about to fall. Guan Ning looked at her standing alone under the deep palace gate, and his heart was also not happy.
