Chapter 72 I accidentally bit the dog
Xiyan supported Manluo and escaped from the house. They did not slow down until they reached a deserted place.
Xiyan looked at Manluo, who was covering her shoulder with her hands and had a pale face, and asked with concern:
"Are you okay with your injury?"
Manluo shook her head:
"It's nothing serious, just go back and rest for a few days. I'm really grateful for your help this time, otherwise, I would definitely be dead!"
Xiyan frowned, with a hint of complaint in her tone:
"Manluo, why do you always get into trouble? This time you almost lost your life. If the prince knew about this, he would definitely punish you severely!"
Manluo was annoyed, her delicate features wrinkled together, and she spat fiercely:
"I didn't mean to cause any trouble. I just went out for some fun. Unexpectedly, that damn Chu Jin spotted me and followed me around like a ghost. Seeing it was difficult to shake him off, I thought I'd take this opportunity to let him experience the power of my devices. Unexpectedly... humph!"
Xi Yan snorted:
"Can't you change your peculiar hobby? As a girl, why do you always hang out in brothels for no reason?"
Manluo smiled awkwardly:
"Hey, let's play! What else can I do?"
As she spoke, she turned to look at Xi Yan, her eyes full of gratitude:
"Xi Yan, I'm grateful for your kindness. If you need me in the future, I, Manluo, will go through fire and water and will never refuse!"
Xi Yan shook her head helplessly:
"You! I know you dealt with Chu Jin to vent my anger, but he is definitely not a good person, and Helian Feng is even more hidden. Don't keep pestering them. Be more cautious in your actions in the future and don't be so reckless."
Manluo smiled:
"Stop rambling. Got it, got it!"
As the two were talking, Manluo suddenly seemed to remember something and stopped:
"By the way, did you bring the Bizi Pill?"
Xi Yan was stunned for a moment.
"What do you want this for?"
Manluo's pretty face flushed slightly, and her expression was a little unnatural:
"Oops, I accidentally bit the dog. I don't usually use that thing, you must have it ready every day, give me one!"
Xiyan's mouth twitched slightly. As smart as she was, she naturally figured out what had happened. She silently took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms, poured out a pill and handed it to Manluo.
Manluo took it, without even looking at it, and swallowed it directly with her head tilted back.
Xiyan wanted to say something but stopped herself, but she still endured it and did not ask any further questions.
There was a sudden silence between the two, and then they quickened their pace and continued on their way.
After a while, they arrived at the Regent's Palace.
They looked around vigilantly and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was following them.
The two men went around to the back corner gate of the palace and climbed over the wall to enter.
At this time, it was dinner time at the palace, and the corner gate was quiet and no one was seen.
The two hid in the shadows and planned to sneak back to the room under the cover of night.
However, before she had taken a few steps, Xiyan inexplicably felt that the air around her suddenly became cold. She subconsciously raised her head, and her eyes instantly met a cold gaze.
Xiao Nanyan was wearing a black robe, emitting a chilling aura. He was like a Shura in the dark night, standing quietly under the corridor not far away, motionless.
The moonlight fell on his body, outlining his cold outline and adding a bit of eerie air.
Xiyan and Manluo were both so frightened that their souls left their bodies. They froze in place for an instant as if they were under a spell.
"Your Majesty..."
Xiao Nanyan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking sharply back and forth between the two of them:
"Where have you been?"
Manluo's heart tightened, and she replied without thinking:
"This servant... This servant is just walking around the street."
As soon as she said it, she regretted it. Under Xiao Nanyue's all-seeing eyes, such a lie seemed pale and powerless.
Xiao Nanyan snorted coldly, his voice like the ice breaking in a cold pond:
"Have you forgotten the palace's rules? Those who tell lies will be flogged thirty times. Do you remember?"
Manluo's legs felt weak, and she quickly knelt on one knee:
"Reply... Your Majesty, I remember!"
"Very good, just remember it!"
Xiao Nanyan raised his chin slightly, his eyes sharp as a knife:
"Manluo, you are so bold! You refuse to change despite repeated warnings, and you dare to provoke Chu Jin again! If Xiyan hadn't rescued you, how could you be alive? Your death is not a pity, but if you reveal your identity, or reveal my secrets under severe punishment, even if you die a thousand times, it will not be enough to atone for your sins!"
Manluo's heart trembled. She didn't expect that her every move was under Xiao Nanyan's control.
She thought to herself that it seemed that this evil spirit was not at ease with her behavior and must have sent someone to secretly monitor her whereabouts.
"This servant... admits his guilt!"
Thinking of this, she lost her temper, lowered her neck, and did not dare to look directly at Xiao Nanyue.
Xiao Nanyan stared at her intently and scolded her coldly in a low voice:
"You know, if it weren't for my men taking care of the assassins Chu Jin sent after you, they would have already tracked you down and come to the Regent's Palace! You're truly more of a help than a hindrance. You're truly despicable!"
Manluo was so frightened that she dared not breathe and her body was trembling slightly.
If there is one person that Manluo fears the most in this world, it is Xiao Nanyan. It is a kind of blood suppression in her bones.
"Go to the Discipline Room and receive thirty lashes, then hang in the dungeon for three days!"
Xiao Nanyan made the decision without hesitation, leaving no room for negotiation in his tone.
Seeing this, Xi Yan hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground:
"Your Majesty, please forgive Manluo this time. She has already known her mistake. Besides, she is still injured..."
Xiao Nanyan turned his gaze towards Xi Yan with a cold face and interrupted her mercilessly:
"Do you think your identity won't be exposed? I'm afraid Helian Feng has already become suspicious of you! You better take care of yourself and be more careful in the future. If you make any mistakes again, you will end up like her!"
After saying that, Xiao Nanyan flicked his sleeves, turned around and strode away.
