Chapter 117 — Loosen The Line to Catch Later (2/2)
“Just go!” Nangong Yin interrupted Xiao Xi with a loud voice, with closed eyes he said, “This prince never makes things difficult for anyone.”
Xiao Xi looked at Nangong Yin, face pale as paper, but his noble status does not allow him to force matters into others.
“Take care of yourself.”
Xiao Xi finished, turned around and left his room. It was time to stop this constant confusion. Nangong Yin has a favorable impression in her mind, that was it, nothing else. She did not think that such a short contact made Nangong Yin fall in love with her.
What’s more, Nangong Yin is the prince of Nanling. Such a noble identity and outstanding appearance can be said to be the best husband-in-law candidate in a woman’s heart. What kind of beauty has he never seen? Could he be so perverted that he will like a little fox?
Cough cough.
How could she have this idea? If Feng Lingran likes her in the future, would that make him a pervert?
Hahaha…
Shortly after Xiao Xi left Nangong Yin’s room, someone knocked on the back of her neck and she fainted.
An Ye held Xiao Xi’s limp body with one hand, and Qiu Lan came over with a bowl of green juice.
“Ye, hurry, make her drink this green juice.”
Without any hesitation, An Ye squeezed open Xiao Xi’s mouth and poured the juice into it, he then pushed Xiao Xi’s throat with his finger pads to help her swallow the juice.
When An Ye gave back the bowl to Qiu Lan, he saw Qiu Lan shedding tears. He frowned, “Why must you do this if you are so unwilling to let her like the master?”
Qiu Lan wiped her tears, and her eyes flashed with pain, “For the sake of master’s great cause, Qiu Lan is willing to do anything.”
“What if the master falls in love with her? Won’t you regret it?”
Qiu Lan’s face immediately lost color, the words of An Ye struck her heart like a hammer.
“No, no, the master will not fall in love with her, he never will.”
An Ye did not continue the topic and said, “Feng Lingran’s people are outside, you immediately take her and the master using the secret path to leave Eastern Jin.”
“But the master…”
“I drugged his medicine. He should be asleep now.”
“Ok, I’ll go right away.”
~~~
Xiao Xi woke up quietly, her head was somewhat aching. She pressed her fingers to her temple and rubbed it. Realizing that her hands were feeling weak too.
What exactly happened? Why does her head felt so heavy?
When Xiao Xi got up, she suddenly stared wide eyed, beside her, a beautiful man was sleeping quietly, his unparalleled face was as white as paper, as if there was no life.
“Nangong Yin?”
Xiao Xi’s body immediately retreated, but she soon found that the clothes on her body had disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Xi’s brain exploded. She quickly pulled up the brocade quilt and covered herself. The quilt on Nangong Yin slipped away, revealing the pure white and flawless clothes, still worn neatly. Xiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
The memories started coming back to her.
When she left Nangong Yin’s mansion, someone knocked her unconscious. Now, she sleeps in the same bed with Nangong Yin. Was all this arranged by Nangong Yin?
Then why did he let her go hypocritically?
Xiao Xi’s chest heaved a little, frowning tightly. She promised Feng Lingran to go back within an hour, but now she does not know how long she had slept.
Nangong Yin’s thick eyelashes trembled and opened slowly. Suddenly, he saw Xiao Xi on the bed. He was very surprised and said, “Xi’er, How… How could you be in my bed?”
Xiao Xi’s eyes narrowed and her heart was fuming, “I should be the one to ask you, Your Highness of Nanling, how can I be in your bed?”
Your Highness of Nanling?
Nangong Yin saw the angry Xiao Xi, his cold moon-like eyes wavered slightly and his face turned pale, “Xi’er, I didn’t mean to do anything to you.. Give me some time, and I’ll find out what really happened.”
“Okay, I trust you, but now, can you arrange for a carriage to take me back to the Regent’s Palace?”
Xiao Xi did not want to say anything more with Nangong Yin. It was hard for her to believe that he was innocent. He was the master and the rest of the dwellers here were his people. Who dared to do so without his consent?
Suddenly the door was pushed open and Qiu Lan came in.
“Young lady Xiao, do you want to go now?”
Xiao Xi saw Qiu Lan and her pupils suddenly shrank.
“It’s you… You did it, didn’t you?”
“Young lady Xiao, it’s enough to play the trick once, but if you play it again and again, it will make the master despise it.”
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about at all. I was going to leave that day, but someone knocked me out. Qiu Lan, this matter has nothing to do with you.”
Xiao Xi looked at Qiu Lan coldly. If Qiu Lan hadn’t found her and make her go to the mansion of Nangong Yin, there would have been no such things. So Xiao Xi was sure that Qiu Lan had arranged for her to be knocked out.
“Young lady Xiao, do you really not understand what this servant is talking about? Don’t forget that it was you, despite the deterrence of this servant, who broke into master’s room and climb into his bed while he is asleep?”
Suddenly Qiu Lan knelt down in front of Nangong Yin’s bed, she looked down and said, “Master, this servant is useless. She couldn’t stop young lady Xiao, she can only let her succeed.”
“No, I didn’t climb the bed of Nangong Yin. You’re lying.”
Xiao Xi clenched the quilt tightly with her fingers and stared at Qiu Lan indignantly. What kind of feud does she have with this woman? What complaints does she have? So far to make Qiu Lan frame her like this?
