"Miss Xingchun, we haven't found the last wave of secret guards. Perhaps..."
The secret guard didn't finish his words, but Xingchun already understood, and his heart was hanging in the air.
Her hands and feet were cold, and she tried her best to control herself.
If the secret guards were still there, it would prove that the prince in front of them was real.
But if the secret guards were not there, where would His Highness go? Would he be in danger?
The secret guard took his leave: "Miss Xingchun, we will go on duty first."
"Go ahead, be quiet and keep a close eye on them." Xingchun instructed the secret guard.
No matter what, this fake one in front of me can't be allowed to run away! - As dusk gradually approached, the woman with a rope tied around her waist took out a bag of dry food from her chest and shouted to the thirteen people of Helian Yu below: "You pampered people! Have a taste of hunger today!"
The secret guards didn't care. Most of them came from poor backgrounds and had experienced many hardships and trials.
But they were worried that Helian Yu couldn't bear it. She was young and weak, and she was a princess. She had never suffered such injustice.
The secret guards felt distressed and blamed themselves.
Little did she know that when Helian Yu rubbed her belly, the familiar feeling instantly reminded her of the days when she stole food in the cold palace at the beginning of the year.
But it's okay now.
She directly exchanged for a super-large hot pot, which included charcoal fire and a full range of vegetables and meat. What's even better is that it was a shabu-shabu hot pot.
The strong and pungent aroma went straight to the nose of the woman who was watching over them.
The secret guards were even more drooling.
"Your Highness, what is this?"
"Ancient soup, also called hot pot." Helian Yu distributed bowls and seasonings to everyone, and threw vegetables and meat into the pot. "It smells delicious."
It was also Helian Yu's first time eating it. He stared at the bubbling and fragrant hot pot, wishing he could scoop up the bottom of the pot with his chopsticks.
"Hey! Where did you get the food?!"
The woman guarding above was shouting, but Helian Yu and the secret guards had no time to pay attention to her and were staring at the hot pot.
"Are you ready to eat?" Helian Yu held the bowl and looked at the only secret guard leader who could cook.
Everyone looked at the food eagerly, as if they were looking at a mother bird being fed: "Can we eat it now?"
The secret guard shook his head: "No, the meat is not cooked yet."
Helian Yu was quick to pick up the colander hanging on the side of the pot, scooped out a piece of meat, coated it with the dipping sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth. The meat was tender and juicy, and the slightly spicy taste stimulated the taste buds to be more active. The wonderful taste spread from the mouth to the nasal cavity.
"tasty!"
Helian Yu looked at the secret guards and said, "Eat!"
"Your Highness, eat first."
Seeing their pitiful appearance, Helian Yu asked, "Eat now. Who are you being polite to in this damn place?"
"This is not good..."
As he spoke, the leader of the secret guards picked up a piece of meat, dipped it in the sauce like Helian Yu did, then lifted his mask and stuffed it into his mouth.
The moment of entrance, the secret guard leader's eyes widened and suddenly lit up.
Seeing this, everyone relaxed as well. Thirteen people, each holding a small colander, scooped out their favorite vegetables and meat slices from the pot.
The people below were eating enthusiastically, while the woman more than ten meters away was swallowing her saliva, sniffing the hot pot, chewing dry food, and cursing under her breath.
After eating hot pot, the secret guards cleaned up the pot, bowls and chopsticks.
Helian Yu prepared to get a plane and fly up.
The later she goes back, the more trouble she will get into.
Just as he was about to exchange it, the woman in the air suddenly screamed and fell straight down.
The head of the secret guards subconsciously flew over to save the person and caught the woman who had fallen down from a distance of two or three meters.
The woman was still in shock and hadn't even opened her mouth when her arms were dislocated and she was kicked off her knees, falling to her knees on the ground.
The head of the secret guard confessed: "I'm sorry, I didn't want to save you, but I was trained too much and didn't react immediately."
Everyone: “…”
Two secret guards captured the woman to prevent her from escaping or attacking Helian Yu.
Helian Yu looked up. The rope couldn't have broken suddenly. It was either an internal fight among the enemies, or someone came to save her.
Helian Yu craned her neck to look around, and someone tapped her shoulder. She pushed the other person's hand away and said, "Don't move."
"Yu'er doesn't want to go back home?"
