C146 (2/2)

Glimmers danced in Nalan Rongxuan's eyes: ”Really?”

”That's right. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let His Royal Highness love me so much. I wouldn't have ended up with such a cold dish!” F * ck, it was as if I wasn't a woman, yet I was actually being watched by her!

The corner of Nalan Rongxuan's mouth rose into a faint smile: ”What, jealous?”

”Humph!” Yue Luoxue turned her head, she was not jealous, she just wanted to eat, and if Nalan Rongxuan was to differentiate between treatment, she would strike, and not cooperate!

Nalan Rongxuan said indifferently: ”If you don't eat, I'll eat it all.”

Before she finished speaking, Yue Luoxue had already sat down. She couldn't go against anyone, nor could she go against her stomach. Furthermore, she liked to eat all the food on the table today, so she definitely wouldn't go against herself.

”This chef is not bad. The taste hasn't changed much since the Sunscorch Kingdom.” Yue Luoxue ate a few mouthfuls and praised.

A trace of doting flashed across Nalan Rongxuan's eyes. ”He's still the original chef, so the taste naturally hasn't changed.”

”Oh, I didn't expect you to be so particular about food, even bringing a chef.” Yue Luoxue glanced at Nalan Rongxuan, and saw that he was still chewing on something, and his words were a little slurred.

Nalan Rongxuan choked a little, no one knew who paid so much attention to food, but he had brought along his former chef and snack master, all for the sake of this heartless foodie in front of him!

However, seeing that Yue Luoxue was enjoying his meal, his face gradually revealed a faint smile.

”Accompany me to a place at night.” Nalan Rongxuan suddenly said.

Yue Luoxue originally wanted to say no, but when she looked up, she saw a trace of sadness on Nalan Rongxuan's calm face. She nodded as if she had seen a ghost: ”Alright, where to?”

”Within the palace.” Nalan Rongxuan faintly said two words.

Yue Luoxue was a little surprised, it seemed like there was no banquet in the palace, could it be that Nalan Rongxuan was listening at the corner of the walls?

The two of them had long developed a tacit understanding between themselves. Nalan Rongxuan did not speak further, and Yue Luoxue did not ask either.

The night was dark and the palace lamps flickered. Nalan Rongxuan carried Yue Luoxue and flew quickly across the palace, his gaze falling on Nalan Rongxuan's white clothes.

Other people would do bad things at night, which one of them wasn't a night walker? Which one of them didn't have a white robe like Nalan Rongxuan who was walking around everywhere?

After passing through a few buildings, Nalan Rongxuan brought Yue Luoxue and landed in a courtyard. With just a glance, Yue Luoxue could tell that this was the backyard of the imperial harem.

”This was my mufei's courtyard.” Nalan Rongxuan said as he walked in.

Yue Luoxue followed closely behind. After so many years, even though the room was covered with dust, it was not dirty or in a mess.

”Smell …” Yue Luoxue frowned and walked over, she found a needle and thread fan Luo beside the bed. There were some unfinished embroidery items inside, and a money bag was pressed on top of it.

Yue Luoxue reached out and picked up the bag. Her expression slightly changed, no wonder there weren't any insects other than dust in the room, it was because there was this thing.

”This is …” Your mufei did it? ” Yue Luoxue looked at Nalan Rongxuan.

Nalan Rongxuan shook his head: ”It should be. According to my memories, Mother Concubine and the palace maid would often do some needlework.

”There is a kind of grass seed in the pouch that can prevent all kinds of insects from growing there. Also, this kind of grass is only grown in the dense forest of Southern Frontier, which is used by the Southern Frontier Shaman Clan to protect themselves from insects.” Yue Luoxue looked at Nalan Rongxuan quietly.

Nalan Rongxuan slowly said: ”Is it related to the parasite?”

”It can also guard against some low level Gu worms.” Yue Luoxue had a faint thought, could it be that Nalan Rongxuan's mother had some sort of relationship with her Southern Frontier?

Nalan Rongxuan took the bag and smelled it, his expression changing slightly: ”I have smelled this smell before. When I was young, this is the smell of the room!”

”Maybe your mufei is guarding against something.” However, the Red Lotus Fire Gu was a relatively high grade Gu worm, and these herbs were useless against it.

Yue Luoxue took a glance at Nalan Rongxuan, and said, ”Rongxuan, perhaps you can check if your mufei is related to Southern Frontier.”

Nalan Rongxuan closed his eyes, and said slowly: ”Maybe I was careless, I will have someone investigate later.”

In truth, Yue Luoxue had investigated Nalan Rongxuan's mother before. He was the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, but the Minister of Revenue had been removed from office due to the corruption case. Her mother was exempted from punishment due to having Nalan Rongxuan as her son, but he was no longer doted on.

From the surface, he didn't seem to have any contact with Southern Frontier anymore. It was just that now, things weren't as simple as they seemed.

The Southern Frontier Shaman Clan, Gu, the Gu in Nalan Rongxuan's body. The truth seemed to be closer, but it also seemed to be further away.
