Because of Zhuan Xu, Ah Nian’s forradually becarew up all overnight
Ah Nian finally decided to bow her head and ask Xiao Yao for help to stop Zhuan Xu fro to take Zhuan Xu back to Gao Xing
Xiao Yao said wearily “It’s not like I’ued with him, I even went to Grandfather for help We’ve had them beat up but the result is what you see”
Ah Nian cried tearfully and Xiao Yao said “You did what you can do If you can’t bear to see hi”
Xiao Yao’s calm was completely opposite of Ah Nian’s heartbreak
Ah Nian turned her anger on Xiao Yao “You cold-blooded e wouldn’t have come back to Xuan Yuan All because you wanted to visit that bad e to accompany you If he didn’t come back, none of this would have happened! Since you disappeared once before, why did you colared at Ah Nian “Do not insult et we’re sisters”
Ah Nian refused to back down because she was so hurt “I never once saw you as s! If your mom wasn’t a bad woman, how could she abandon her own husband? She is a bad woman, who knohichslap, Xiao Yao delivered a blow to Ah Nian’s cheeks and she fell on the ground shaking all over
Xiao Yao said “This is not Gao Xing, it’s Xuan Yuan The person you are insulting is the Xuan Yuan Princess She died in battle for the people of Xuan Yuan and the people reh for Xuan Yuan to use as an excuse to attack Gao Xing If you want to be an idiot, then scras”
Xiao Yao told Hai Tang “Take her back, the poison ear off in half an hour”
Hai Tang said nothing and quickly picked up Ah Nian and hurried out
Xiao Yao waited for Zhuan Xu in his room and saw him carried home passed out drink The e to rest
Xiao Yao waited until they were all gone before sitting down next to his pallet and staring at him This was a battle, but Zhuan Xu didn’t discuss with her beforehand so she could only play along with him on her own
Xiao Yao touched his wrist and took his pulse before putting a pill in his mouth
Zhuan Xu stirred awake and Xiao Yao said “Stop acting in this farce any longer By the time the show is over, you would have destroyed yourself”
Zhuan Xu looked at Xiao Yao “What if it’s not acting? What if I really have changed?”
“What are you trying test me for? That if you didn’t tell me beforehand then I would abandon you? Sorry, your test sucks because I know you too well I know you’re acting the part How did you cohed “Soo stupid” He really did want to kno Xiao Yao would treat him if he were to become a total dissolute “If I really was this ould you leave me one day because you couldn’t take it anymore?”
Xiao Yao smiled “Ask yourself whether you would abandon me in the same situation?”
Zhuan Xu i must have happened and I would protect you I would et better…then I would stay besides you no matter what”
Xiao Yao asked “Do you have my answer then?”
Zhuan Xu nodded
Xiao Yao said “Those drugs you’re taking…why not ask me for a cure beforehand?”
“Don’t worry, I asked the doctors and they say the drugs are addictive but I have faith in myself to quit it the addiction when this is over If I want to play act, then it has to be real I have to let them think I’m so useless it’s safe to send me off to the Middle Plains where there is no way I can ever , these drugs are actually slow poisons and are poisoning your insides”
Zhuan Xu smiled “But I have you”
Xiao Yao said “Even if you break the addiction, your poill be greatly diminished”
Zhuan Xu s on er?”
“Soon Soon we’ll be able to go to the Middle Plains”
Xiao Yao said “Ah Nian is devastated and it’s not because you’ve changed She can handle you being dissolute and a loser rich boy for life and its not enough to cry over I saw the way she looks at you with those women I think she doesn’t just like you as a brother”
Zhuan Xu covered his eyes “What do you want me to do?”
“How should I know? Just rehter and ” Xiao Yao wanted Ah Nian to go back to Gao Xing which is why she was so harsh with her, but it wasn’t clear if Ah Nian would go back
Zhuan Xu sighed “I know, that is why I’ve always genuinely cherished her I don’t see her the way I do Xing Yue and those other girls”
“Those other girls?” Xiao Yao twisted his ear “Fourth Uncle and Fourth Auntie was each other’s one and only for their entire life Never apart in living or in death You are co to sit back and see how many women you mess with in your lifetime”
Zhuan Xu rubbed his ear “I’ to mess with them”
Xiao Yao walked out and said sarcastically “Want me to summon a woroggy!”
Xiao Yao closed the door and went back to her roo on the pallet but unable to sleep
The insults Ah Nian hurled at her mother were the words hidden in her heart that she was e of a vividly red robe, and a ant and wild that he could eviscerate the world in his one glance, yet when he looked at herAnd the way her mom looked at him…Xiao Yao didn’t know it then, but she understood it now
The way herof the tears landing on Xiao Yao’s face was a sensation she could still feel
Xiao Yao touched her face as if to wipe those tears away but there was nothing
Xiao Yao sat up in shock and opened the box on the foot of her pallet and pulled out a bottle of plu found a way to send plum wine every few months nohether it was because he found the spy or another way to avoid his grand
Xiao Yao gulped down the wine and felt like she got strength frohts of her ht about her dad She ss told her that her dad loved her very hter!
A person suddenly vaulted into her room from theand then i soldiers reached her, clearly they were chasing someone
Xiao Yao didn’t yell, didn’t move, and continued to play with the wine bottle in her hand She said in a slol “I won’t be taken hostage by you so leave now and find soestion and walked towards the pallet Xiao Yao counted to ten but the man arrived at her pallet by the count of ten and still hadn’t collapsed by her poison
Xiao Yao knew this person had strong powers and her poison was unable to fell him
The man lifted up the curtains around her pallet and sat down on it Xiao Yao said “You ain you notaat Xiao Yao,
Her body tensed and her instinct told her this man was someone she kneell She reached out, and the man didn’t stop her, and she slowly took off his hed “I ht call toand Xiao Yao said “Can you go find your play buddies? Why come to me?”
“Like you said, they are just play buddies” Blood trickled fro Bei replied and he wiped it away
Xiao Yao was torn and she picked up his wrist and then gave him some of the precious ave her
“Lay down”
Fang Feng Bei laid down on the pallet and Xiao Yao laid down as well and covered theht now and my identity isn’t ofI can do”
Fang Feng Bei said nothing and Xiao Yao felt he was very strange tonight Just as she wasit over, a loud ruckus ca other than wait
She whispered “What did you do? You couldn’t have tried to assassinate the Yellow Emperor, did you? No matter how many have tried, they all end up cut down into pieces You can’t have been that stupid”
Fang Feng Bei continued to ignore her
Xiao Yao sighed “Too bad you’re not a real useless playboy”
The maid came to knock and Xiao Yao let her knock a few tioing on outside?”
“The Prince is leading soldiers doing a search for soot up and put a robe around her “He wants to search the residence? What does e say?”
“The Prince is passed out asleep still!”
Another maid quickly said “Princess, please put on your clothes! The soldiers are already searching the Prince’s quarters and have turned it upside down and even the clothes have been shredded We are afraid they will come and offend you!”
Xiao Yao clenched her fist, she couldn’t believe howsoldiers to ransack his room like that
Xiao Yao opened the door and let the twoon the pallet The two ested “The soldiers are very brutish, Princess please go elsewhere and we can wait here”
Xiao Yao smiled “Don’t worry, I want to check it out”
The soldiers were searching from room to room but had likely heard of Xiao Yao’s spitfire personality so skipped hers for now They arrived at Ah Nian’s roo opened the door they wanted to push right inside Hai Tang wasn’t a pushover either and iht back, she was trained by the Grand Emperor solely to protect Ah Nian and the soldiers were a piece of cake for her
Xiao Yao sat on her pallet and laughed
The Xuan Yuan soldiers had a reputation for being fierce and under the direction of a captain they for
Xiao Yao sighed, no wonder the Yellow Emperor was feared all over over, even hu a God with powers like Hai Tang
Ah Nian walked out of her room and with a wave of her hand a row of ice knives appeared and she sent it flying at the soldiers She was very in control and didn’t aim for a critical spot, but more soldiers arrived and surrounded Ah Nian, and even two rode winged rides and hovered in the air clearly intending to strike
Xiao Yao told herif he wants to die?”
One o but the other maid walked to the door and hollered “The Princess wants to know if the Prince wants to die?”
In a second, Cui Liang appeared with a slanced around the roo but can’t you tell – look at that h powers and striking looks?”
Cui Liang responded “I thought she belonged to you”
“No, she works for my little sister” Xiao Yao pointed at Ah Nian
Cui Liang’s entire face lost color and he yelled “Stop!”
He was positively ashen “The Gao Xing Second Princess is here and cousin didn’t announce her?” He was even angrier that no one told him
Xiao Yao smiled “Do you think I care to conceal it Grandfather could care less to tell anyone and uys would coo ask your dad!”
Cui Liang ordered his soldiers to stop but Ah Nian didn’t stop, released her anger at Zhuan Xu and dislike of Xiao Yao on the Xuan Yuan soldiers until everyone was laying on the ground and she yelled “Anyone else want to try!”
Cui Liang knew the Yellow Emperor are Ah Nian was here so even if he was furious he didn’t dare take it out on Xiao Yao He laughed “Will cousin please apologize to the Princess, I wasn’t trying to offend her, I just didn’t know”
Xiao Yao stood up and pulled open her curtains and said “Do you want to searchquickly said “No, no” but glanced over and saw ot up quickly and in the corner there was an e’s heart skipped and he leaned down to look at Xiao Yao’s chest, if his cousin wasn’t wearing her chest cover…
Xiao Yao saw hied She pulled down the curtains and said “Get out!”
Cui Liang’s sleaziness was itching to touch her but no matter how sleazy he was he wouldn’t dare touch Xiao Yao and he quickly left,
Cui Liang figured he saw Xiao Yao’s roo there But he was suspicious of Ah Nian but the soldiers were all dispatched by her and he didn’t want a direct confrontation with her Plus Xiao Yao was half fa Ah Nian would be like declaring ith Gao Xing
Cui Liang ordered the soldiers to leave but reize to Ah Nian “Because of the vicious criminals, we are afraid the Princess would be harmed so that is why I will leave soldiers to protect you”
