C49 (2/2)

Just like this, Liu Zhixue was locked in the cold palace.

On the other side, in the dungeon, Yan Xiaoxi, who had escaped danger, finally let her guard down.

Nangong Xiao helped Yan Xiaoxi up and sat her down on the edge of the bed. She asked, ”Xi Er, is something the matter?”

”Father, Xi Er is fine, it's just that Miss Liu drugged me, my entire body is weak.” As she spoke, Yan Xiaoxi did not stop her hands from moving as she continued to rummage through her body for medicine bottles.

Finally, after tossing and turning for a long time, Yan Xiaoxi finally found the antidote. She took the bottle out of her body, opened its cap, and brought it up to her nose, sniffing it.

Suddenly, a clear stream of Dao Seeking energy entered her nose.

Nangong Xiao only watched silently without a single movement.

After taking in the antidote, Yan Xiaoxi was able to move very quickly. She tried to put her legs on the ground, but was already able to stand up. She felt much more energetic, as the medicinal properties of her body were removed.

”You sure are bold. Why didn't you send a guard to inform us earlier?” The rebuke in Nangong Xiao's words did not reveal any hint of concern.

Yan Xiaoxi intimately held onto Nangong Lin's arm and replied, ”Xi'er thought that Miss Liu wouldn't do anything to me, but who knew that she actually used medicine on me.”

This was something that Yan Xiaoxi had never expected.

Otherwise, with Liu Zhixue's ability, how could she be a match for her? There was no need for her to alarm Nangong Xiao.

”How am I supposed to explain this to Lin'er if anything happens to you?”

”Father, isn't Xi'er alright now? ”Can you keep this a secret?” Yan Xiaoxi clasped her hands together as she looked expectantly at Nangong Xiao.

Nangong Xiao was stunned and a dazed look appeared on her face. Once again, she overlapped the face of Yan Xiaoxi with the face of the person in her heart. She was really too similar to her.

After a while, he solemnly said to Yan Xiaoxi, ”Next time.”

”Imperial Father is too great, besides little Lin Lin, Xi'er loves you the most.” Yan Xiaoxi jumped with excitement as her smile was so radiant.

Nangong Xiao smiled faintly. She seemed to understand why her son would like me and do so many abnormal things for her.

This woman was so different from the masses.

Naive, happy, but also clever. It simply combined the strengths of others. The longer he spent with her, the more attracted he would be to her charm.

However, there was one thing that Nangong Xiao was worried about.

Hopefully, she had nothing to do with the Celestial Spirit Island.

”How's the situation with Little Linlin?” After leaving Nangong Lin for just a short while, Yan Xiaoxi had started to miss her. This time around, she finally understood the meaning of not seeing her for a day.

Nangong Xiao could tell the longing in Yan Xiaoxi's eyes with a glance. She answered, ”Everything is progressing according to plan.”

”Great.” As long as she completed this matter, she would soon be able to meet with Little Linlin.

”Father, Xi`er is fine here. You can leave first, so as to not arouse suspicion.” Yan Xiaoxi did not wish for all that they had meticulously planned out to fail because of her.

Nangong Xiao nodded her head in gratification. She pointed to the food she had brought over and said, ”It's all hot. Eat it while it's hot.”

”Wow, royal father treats Xi'er so well.” When Yan Xiaoxi heard this, she immediately started eating. Her eyes seemed as if they were about to pop out from their sockets.

Nangong Xiao smiled. She had long experienced Yan Xiaoxi's gluttonous nature and was not the least bit surprised by her actions.

Nangong Lin had repeatedly ordered her to eat this food. Regardless of the circumstances, she could not let Yan Xiaoxi starve to death. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thus, despite her nervousness, Nangong Xiao ordered someone to prepare some food for Yan Xiaoxi.

As for when Nangong Xiao left the prison, she did not have the luxury of time to care about that at all. All she knew was that during this meal, she had eaten her fill and had a good night's sleep.
