C32 (1/2)

Yan Xiaoxi held her breath as she stared below.

Inside the house, there were two men. One of them was dressed in black and wore a hat, so it was impossible to see his appearance. As for the other man, Yan Xiaoxi recognized him. It was that annoying Nangong Zhen.

What was he planning? He definitely wanted to harm Little Linlin.

”Crown Prince, you only need to cooperate with this old man. The man in black said.

”Alright, since it's like this … If you stand on this prince's side, we are like grasshoppers on a string. ” Yan Xiaoxi did not hear the two words in the middle clearly.

”This time around, this old man will definitely make Yan Xiaoxi and Nangong Lin pay with their blood.” The man in black gritted his teeth as he spoke, as if he had a huge grudge against the two of them.

On the rooftop, Yan Xiaoxi frowned. She really couldn't understand what this matter had to do with her.

He thought about how kind she was and how she treated people with friendliness. She would never have any enmity with anyone, so why would anyone want to plot against her?

Of course, with the exception of Nangong Zhen and Liu Zhixue, she did not want to offend them. All of this was Nangong Lin's fault.

The scorching heat was precisely the time when the insects and ants were densely packed. Yan Xiaoxi could always hear the buzzing sounds coming from the distance, and occasionally, there would even be a few flies and mosquitoes flying in front of her eyes.

Suddenly, a mosquito that was unafraid of death landed on Yan Xiaoxi's nose.

Because she was afraid of alarming Nangong Zhen, Yan Xiaoxi only used the blowing method to chase away the mosquito. However, that mosquito seemed to be very hungry, and no matter how Yan Xiaoxi blew, it remained indifferent, causing Yan Xiaoxi to be completely stupefied.

Without a care in the world, he struck out with his palm.

”I want you to suck my blood.” Yan Xiaoxi clapped her hands and removed the mosquito's body from her palm.

”Who?” Her actions also happened to alarm the two people in the room.

'Not good! 'Yan Xiaoxi exclaimed. How could she forget her current situation? If Nangong Zhen caught her, she would be in trouble.

Before he could notify little Lin Lin Lin, he would be tortured by Nangong Zhen, or even killed.

As she thought of this, Yan Xiaoxi felt as if something bad was about to happen. She hurriedly ran away.

When Nangong Zhen came out of the room, he could no longer see Yan Xiaoxi. He gave the black clothed man a look and the black clothed man understood. He then disappeared from the room.

At this time, Nangong Zhen suddenly shouted, ”Assassin has arrived!”

In a split-second, the patrolling guards rushed over. They clasped their hands together and knelt on the ground, asking, ”Your Highness, what happened?”

”There's an assassin. Immediately send someone to look for him. Even if you have to search the entire palace, you have to find him.” Of course Nangong Zhen would not let him go, because the person might have heard his secret.

”Yes.” With the order given, the guards immediately took action. They started searching the palace in batches, searching everywhere, not missing a single place.

Yan Xiaoxi used her Qing Gong to travel back and forth without any obstruction. She had originally wanted to return to her room, but if Nangong Zhen didn't know who it was, she definitely wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

However, Nangong Lin's palace was completely surrounded by guards. It was so airtight that it was likely that not even a fly could fly past them. Yan Xiaoxi felt that she did not have absolute confidence in being able to return to her room without being seen by others.

She had no choice but to give up this idea. Then, she thought that returning to her room was no good, so she might as well leave the palace.

Furthermore, she had not expected that there would be even more guards waiting at the entrance of the palace.

Yan Xiaoxi was wearing night clothes. If someone saw her, it would be hard to explain. She would take off her night clothes and not go to bed in the middle of the night. She would stroll around the Imperial Palace and not arouse anyone's suspicions.

Right now, she was in a difficult situation.

Just as Yan Xiaoxi was hesitating, a sharp-eyed guard noticed her hiding on the rooftop and immediately shouted, ”The assassin is over there.”
