“This servant only ran into the Xie Clan’s Fifth Young Miss that day at the estate,” Shadowgale hesitantly admitted “This servant didn’t speak to her, so that’s why I didn’t tell Your Majesty…”
“Enough, you don’t have to say anyirl you ran into was Xie Duoying?”
“Yes,” Shadowgale nodded
In order toXiaoyao kept a stiff face This world is far too cruel
“Your Majesty?” Shadowgale asked
Ning Xiaoyao threw the strand of hair to the ground She’d even been keeping it safe for Shadowgale’s sake, but never expected it to belong to Xie Duoying If it’s that girl, then there’s probably no hope, Ning Xiaoyao thought She is a girl with aspirations to be empress If you tried to make a person run when she wants to fly, that’s simply unrealistic
“Let’s forget about everything we just talked about,” Ning Xiaoyao told Shadowgale “One, two, three—forget it!”
“……” said Head Coale
“Oh, Shadowgale! So you’re back, ah,” Ning Xiaoyao greeted Shadowgale anew
Head Coale followed her lead and bowed once more “Your Majesty, this servant has returned”
“Sit,” Ning Xiaoyao pointed to a chair by her side “Let’s have a chat”
Shadowgale felt his head starting to throb Why are we still chatting?
While Ning Xiaoyao was chatting about life with Head Co in front of the sevenabout with his own eyes Supreme Commander Lou discovered that he wasn’t the least bit surprised After seeing Miss Ning nearly bring back the dead, he figured that soical conclusion to the ordeal The seven officers lined up in front of Supre one of their superiors in the ar the room, they kept silent as well to wait
Lou Zigui’s fingers lightly tapped the table by his chair before he spoke “For the sake of getting you out of the capital as fast as possible, His Majesty used secret medicines from the inner palace There’s only so one You race”
The seven officers all nodded If Ning Xiaoyao were present, they’d be on their knees koing by now
“The iui added, “But if you hadn’t received this medicine, you would’ve been crippled even if you did recover from your injuries It would have been iain Fro to leave you all alive”
If they couldn’t return to the ar off their livelihood—and by extension, their very lives The seven officers understood the iui’s words
“With the e you do will escape Xie Wenyuan’s eyes,” Lou Zigui continued “His Majesty intends for you lot to leave the capital today”
The seven officers felt their expressions tighten They would rather leave as soon as possible, and were only worried that His Majesty wouldn’t let theo after all that had happened
“Before you leave, ui added “If you take your troops along, you’ll have et Xie Wenyuan could stop you as easily as turning over his hand It’s better to pack light and disguise yourselves if you want a chance to escape his assassins Being his trusted subordinates, you lot of all people should be clearer than me on his methods”
“Has Supreme Commander received some sort of news?” an officer asked
“Xie Wenyuan wants to kill you all,” Lou Zigui replied simply
The seven officers suddenly felt like the sky was falling
“This is His Majesty’s reward to you all,” Lou Zigui brought out a few silver drafts and placed them on the table as he rose to his feet “Make preparations I’ve arranged for the Dragon Guards to escort you all out of the palace”
The seven officers still had ui had already left the roo Xiaoyao outside the doors of thethe palace via Dragon Guard escort
“I’ll go follow the Xiaoyao “You stay at the palace”
“You don’t needXiaoyao asked
“Don’t run about,” Lou Zigui si Xiaoyao’s head as he spoke
Ning Xiaoyao said, “Then can you bring back some osmanthus honey for me?”
“Alright,” Lou Zigui agreed easily to her request Ning Xiaoyao stood by the palace door to watch Lou Zigui ride off with the men before she asked Shadowbolt by her side, “But I still want to see all the fuss, what should I do?”
“………” said Shadowbolt So the promise you made so easily to Supreme Commander just then was just a sham?
“I want to check out the Grand Preceptor’s estate, too,” Ning Xiaoyao added “I feel like trouble’s going to brew there today”
The fourth coon Guards said, “Your Majesty, the Grand Preceptor’s estate has been having no end of troubles over these past few days”
Ning Xiaoyao was about to verbally agree when Grandpa Sparrow spoke frootten news of Supreme Coarden”
“Forget I said anything,” Ning Xiaoyao shook her head at Shadowbolt “I suddenly don’t want to go anywhere at all”
Shadowbolt had been wracking his brain to think of excuses for His Majesty to stay Now he could only blanch and wonder, Is it really alright for His Majesty to change his mind so easily?
Ning Xiaoyao was about to run for the little flower gardens when so Xiaoyao shot an iht in, and asked, “What’s happened with the eer now?”
Thehas fallen ill”
Ning Xiaoyao gave a start at the news
“The iht a chill,” the mama continued with a worried expression
Ning Xiaoyao said, “So he caught a cold, ah Then won’t he be fine after he takes some medicine?”
