Little did they know that while Yun Qianmeng's horse was galloping towards the edge of the cliff, Nan Lan suddenly whipped his mount hard and ran towards Yun Qianmeng!
She even loosened the hand that was tightly holding the reins and moved sideways to grab Yun Qianmeng, but Yun Qianmeng's mount lost its usual docility after feeling the pain. It even kept shaking Yun Qianmeng while galloping, as if it wanted to throw Yun Qianmeng off its back and trample on her!
This meant that even though Nan Lan wanted to save Yun Qianmeng, he couldn't grab even half of her sleeve. It wasn't until the horse's two front hooves lost their balance and fell off the cliff with Yun Qianmeng in an instant that Nan Lan withdrew his hands!
However, she did not notice her own situation at the moment. She was only focused on saving Yun Qianmeng. Her mount also came to the edge of the cliff. Before she could tighten the reins with both hands, she was the second person to fall off the cliff behind Yun Qianmeng!
Yuan Dong saw that things were going badly, and there were still four Nanlan palace maids standing on the cliff. She knew that even if she wanted to return the same way to find help, it would be a luxury. So she jumped off the cliff without hesitation before the four people could stop her...
"Hurry... hurry down the mountain to find the princess..." The four palace maids watched Nan Lan fall off the cliff. Their first thought wasn't to return to the camp for help, but to rely on their own strength to find Nan Lan. Standing at the edge of the cliff, they took in the abyss, then instantly jumped onto their horses, turned their horses' heads, and headed down the rugged mountain path.
"Your Highness, something bad has happened. Someone just reported that they heard palace maids shouting the names of Prince Chu and Princess Chu on the edge of the cliff!" Nan Yijun, who had been following behind Chu Feiyang, heard a guard riding a horse from not far away and reported in a very low voice in his ear!
Hearing this, Nan Yijun's face turned stern, his hand holding the reins turned pale, and his eyes shot towards the guard like swords. After confirming that Chu Feiyang was concentrating on shooting the fleeing tiger, he suppressed the shock and anger in his heart and asked in a very low voice, "What happened?"
After he finished speaking, Nan Yijun pulled the reins slightly, causing the horse to change direction and increase the distance between him and Chu Feiyang. Then he glared at the guards beside him, waiting for his detailed report!
“Your Highness, not long after Your Highness and the others left the tent, the princess forcibly took Princess Chu into the woods. Later, someone saw the princess leading Princess Chu all the way to the cliff of the hunting ground. Just now, there was a cry of surprise from the other side. When my people rushed to check, there was no one on the cliff! I have sent people to search for the princess and Princess Chu in the hunting ground, but they were nowhere to be found! Your Highness, there is only one hour left in the hunt. If we can’t find them, what will King Chu do when he returns to the tent and can’t find Princess Chu?” The guard was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. Such a thing happened in his own palace, and Princess Chu actually had a powerful husband. If she fell off the cliff, there would be absolutely no chance of survival for a weak woman like her!
When Nan Yijun heard the guards say that it was Nan Lan who forcibly took the Princess of Chu into the woods, he had a bad feeling in his heart!
I'm afraid that this time Nan Lan had already planned everything, and perhaps his royal brother Emperor Feng Jing was also involved!
I can't believe they can even come up with such a method to deal with me!
Didn’t they think carefully about the consequences of the whole thing?
Not to mention that the cliff is bottomless, even people with martial arts skills find it difficult to save their lives, let alone the Princess of Chu who is so weak that she can't even tie a chicken. If she falls off the cliff this time, she will probably be in great danger!
If Chu Feiyang knew about this, I'm afraid...
Thinking of this, even Nan Yijun, who was usually as calm as a rock, changed his expression. His eyes were filled with tension and worry. He turned his head to look at Chu Feiyang, who had already drawn his longbow, and then whispered to the guards, "Send my men down the mountain to search for the person. We must find him alive or dead! Hurry!"
The guard's heart skipped a beat when he saw that even the Regent's expression had changed. He then looked at the King of Chu who had shot down a tiger with just one arrow. He felt as if his whole body was in an ice cellar. The cold sweat on his forehead instantly slid into his clothes. He quickly nodded to Nan Yijun and then turned and left!
At this moment, the tiger in front was pierced through the throat by an arrow. After whimpering, its body shook twice and then fell to the ground!
"Your Highness!" The guard who was originally going to collect the prey rode his horse closer to Chu Feiyang, reminding himself of the abnormality he had just discovered!
Chu Feiyang nodded slightly, put away the longbow in his hand and hung it on the horse's back. He stared sharply at the tiger in front of him that had already died, and whispered, "Tell Xi Lin to go down the mountain to find him. Make sure he finds him!"
"Yes!" The guard nodded immediately, then dismounted and walked towards the tiger. He then took out the rope he had on him and tied the tiger's limbs together. At the same time, his right hand inadvertently sent a very faint signal flare into the sky...
"If the Regent has something important to tell you, please go ahead! Although this forest is not small, it is not big enough for me to get lost!" After giving the instructions here, Chu Feiyang turned his horse around and walked towards Nan Yijun, whose face was still gloomy!
Unexpectedly, he caught Nan Yijun's sinister look, which made Chu Feiyang smile. He then asked with concern, "What's wrong with the Regent? Are you dissatisfied with seeing me hunt a tiger?"
Chu Feiyang's sudden voice brought Nan Yijun back to his senses instantly. His eyelids drooped slightly and then lifted again. The haze in his eyes had disappeared without a trace. He looked calm and said with a faint smile, "King Chu, it's a bit strange for you to say this! King Chu is a distinguished guest of my Nanxun, so it is my duty to accompany him! I didn't expect that the prince's archery skills are so exquisite that he can even defeat a beast like a tiger with one move. It's really amazing!"
In a flash, Nan Yijun changed the subject!
Seeing Nan Yijun completely concealing his emotions, Chu Feiyang couldn't help but curl his lips slightly. He knew it all, but he didn't expose Nan Yijun's tricks. Did they think that if they didn't say it, they wouldn't know? Now, the deeper and longer they concealed the truth, the more serious the consequences they would have to bear once the truth was exposed!
This Nanxun is truly eye-opening. Are there no men left in the entire Nanxun Kingdom? As a princess, she has no self-control. Besides murdering others to get who she wants, has Nanlan ever made any contribution to Nanxun?
Emperor Feng Jing must be sick and confused! He actually followed the ignorant Nan Lan in plotting to murder the wife of an envoy from another country. For a ruler to be so despicable is truly despicable!
"I have gained a lot, but the Regent seems to have not made any move yet! This makes me very much looking forward to the Regent's skills!" Seeing that the guards had put the tiger into the bag and loaded it on the horse's back, Chu Feiyang patted the horse's body and let the mount continue to move forward!
"The King of Chu is an expert in archery. I dare not show off my skills in front of him!" The smile on Chu Feiyang's lips made Nan Yijun's heart tremble slightly. He felt that Chu Feiyang, who always showed a faint smile, had a sharp insight in his smile today. This made Nan Yijun a little worried, but he could only pray that the Princess of Chu who fell off the cliff could miraculously survive!
Seeing Nan Yijun's modesty, Chu Feiyang slowly spoke, "This is a competition. The Regent is so humble. If he loses, wouldn't it be embarrassing? Besides, your country's Emperor Feng Jing is still waiting for good news from the Regent in the big tent. If Your Highness admits defeat now, wouldn't it disappoint Emperor Feng Jing?"
Nan Yijun saw Chu Feiyang's repeated invitations. If he refused again, it would only arouse Chu Feiyang's suspicion. So he could only nod slightly and said with a smile, "Since the King of Chu has invited you so kindly, then I can only perform my humble duties!"
After he finished speaking, Nan Yijun's calm eyes suddenly flashed with wisdom, and he observed the situation around him with bated breath...
"Rustle...rustle..." A slight sound came from the grass not far away, and the dense leaves swayed slightly. It can be seen that there must be some kind of prey hiding in the place where the view is blocked by trees and flowers!
Nan Yijun took out his longbow and arrow, and instantly got into a shooting posture. When a ball of gray fluff flashed past his sight, he immediately took action. The arrow accurately hit the hind leg of a small wild rabbit!
The little hare was shot and its forward running movement came to an abrupt stop. It instantly fell to the ground and struggled to death!
'Pah pah pah'!
A round of applause rang out, and Chu Feiyang praised him generously, "The Regent is truly a man of hidden talents! He was able to hit the target even in such a secret situation. I admire him! Emperor Feng Jing must be very relieved to have a minister like the Regent to manage his government affairs!"
Seeing Chu Feiyang mention Emperor Feng Jing for no reason, Nan Yijun paused slightly while hanging up his longbow. He felt that Chu Feiyang had been saying something else since just now, as if he had noticed something but didn't say it directly. His handsome eyebrows frowned for no reason, and he tried his best to hide the anxiety and worry in his heart. He forced a smile and said, "Your Highness, you are too kind! It seems that Your Highness really likes hunting wild animals. Why don't we go over there and take a look!"
Seeing Chu Feiyang's mount gradually moving towards the cliff, Nan Yijun immediately spoke, pointing in the opposite direction of the woods, guiding Chu Feiyang to change his route!
Chu Feiyang's wrist gently tugged at the reins, his clear eyes following Nan Yijun's hand to the other side of the woods, and then refused, "I don't necessarily want to kill a ferocious beast! If the tiger hadn't frightened my horse just now, why would I have killed it? And this is a competition after all. Even if I have a compassionate heart, I have to take action for Xi Chu!"
The indifferent tone, calm expression, and calm tone made Nan Yijun's heart tremble. There was a mystery hidden in what Chu Feiyang said just now, which made Nan Yijun immediately alert, and there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes when he looked at Chu Feiyang!
Perhaps, the King of Chu, who always plays tricks on others, has already known about the Princess of Chu!
Nan Yijun's expression instantly grew serious, and he looked less relaxed and more cautious towards Chu Feiyang. After a moment, he spoke, "Your Highness forgot that, besides me, there are nine other people participating in the Nanxun competition! They are all masters of hunting, so I don't need to worry too much!"
"So, the Regent only looks down on this general's people?" Little did he know that at this moment, Lu Xin rode his horse towards the direction of Nan Yijun's finger. His rough voice immediately scared away the birds living in the woods, and also made Nan Yijun's eyes flash with a trace of disgust!
"It seems that General Hu Wei has made a great harvest!" Nan Yijun spoke lightly after glancing at the three or four guards behind Lu Xin whose horses were carrying a lot of prey!
However, Lu Xin ignored Nan Yijun at this time. He only looked at Chu Feiyang with a gloating look in his eyes, and then said with concern, "Your Highness, I was hunting just now and heard people in Nanxun talking about the princess falling off a cliff. I wonder if Your Highness knows about this?"
"What?" Upon hearing this, Chu Feiyang let out a low cry, and the casual look on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a sinister look. The coldness that burst out from his body made the already extremely cool forest immediately plunge into coldness, which made Lu Xin laugh in his heart, but made Nan Yijun secretly say in his heart that something was wrong!
"No wonder the Regent wants to lead me somewhere else. Is he trying to cover up the fact that my princess fell off a cliff?" Looking at Nan Yijun's suddenly ugly face with a sneer, Chu Feiyang's fingers turned slightly white, and the light in his eyes was as cold as ice, and the chilling coldness made people dare not look directly at him!
Seeing that Chu Feiyang seemed unaware, Lu Xin was immediately surprised and said, "What a clever plan the Regent has! He lured us here for the hunt, only to attack the princess in secret! Does he really think that we, Xi Chu, are afraid of Nan Xun? Or are he taking advantage of us, Xi Chu, for not sending more generals this time?"
After mocking Nan Yijun, Lu Xin indignantly bowed to Chu Feiyang and said, "Your Majesty, I will go down the mountain to find the princess!"
At this moment, Chu Feiyang no longer had the heart to argue with Nan Yijun. He immediately raised his whip and ran towards the cliff. The guards behind him also dropped all their prey and followed closely!
Seeing Nan Yijun showing an embarrassed expression, which was rare for him, Lu Xin felt proud and followed Chu Feiyang down the mountain to look for people!
Only Nan Yijun remained where he was, his face gloomy. He immediately ordered the guards around him, "Send more people to search for the Princess of Chu and the Princess. We must find the Princess of Chu before the King of Chu does!"
After he finished speaking, Nan Yijun quickly turned his horse's head and galloped towards the big tent...
A trickle of water flowed through the stream at the foot of the cliff, and several high-quality horses fell to their deaths beside the stream. Judging from the scratches all over the horses' bodies, the cliff was not only steep but also covered with sharp stones!
Upon seeing this, a storm suddenly flashed through Chu Feiyang's eyes. He immediately dismounted and walked forward along the water source for a while, but he did not find any traces of Yun Qianmeng and the others. Only a trail of blood followed the stream upstream...
"Your Highness, I believe the princess is still alive!" Lu Xin dismounted after Chu Feiyang and searched for a long time. Although there was blood, he couldn't find Yun Qianmeng's body. He felt disappointed, but because of Chu Feiyang's status, he could only offer words of comfort. His eyes were still darting around, trying to find the jewelry or clothing that Yun Qianmeng had dropped among the rocks...
Chu Feiyang ignored Lu Xin. His eyes were already fixed on a white horse not far away. He saw a small bleeding hole near the horse's hip. This made Chu Feiyang quickly walk towards the horse that had fallen to death and take a closer look. A cold smile instantly appeared on the corner of his tightly pursed mouth. "Very good!"
Seeing Chu Feiyang utter these two words after a while, Lu Xin couldn't help but step forward to see what was going on. However, he didn't find anything unusual, so he carefully asked, "Prince, did you find the princess? Is the princess still alive?"
Although he was spying carefully, the disappointment that leaked out of his mouth betrayed Lu Xin's thoughts. Chu Feiyang also glanced at Lu Xin coldly, and then ordered, "General Lu, you go find someone over there. I will continue to move forward and see if I can find Meng'er!"
Seeing Chu Feiyang's extremely bad face, Lu Xin was also a little afraid. He nodded, turned around and walked towards the upper reaches of the stream without saying anything more...
"What's the situation?" Seeing Lu Xin walking away, Chu Feiyang put away the terrifying aura around him, but the hostility in his eyes remained, and he asked the guard beside him with a slightly cold tone!
"The princess is with Yuandong right now!" As he spoke, the guard pointed his finger slightly at a place with dense leaves in the distance and whispered!
"Let's go!" Chu Feiyang frowned slightly and immediately raised his foot and strode towards the extremely hidden cave...
At this time, Emperor Feng Jing in the big tent had a serious expression after receiving the eunuch's report. His frail body was shaking violently, and he pointed outside the big tent with one trembling hand and roared, "Hurry up and go find the princess and the Princess of Chu. If you can't find them, don't come back!"
"What is your Imperial brother doing? Are you performing for me or for the King of Chu?" Unexpectedly, Nan Yijun stepped into the tent at this moment, staring at Emperor Feng Jing with a cold gaze, whose face had turned red with anger!
If Nan Yijun had not tried his best to suppress his anger at this time, I am afraid his anger would have already surpassed that of Emperor Feng Jing!
"Uncle Wang, what do you mean by this? Why does my father need to put on an act? My imperial sister and the Princess of Chu both fell off a cliff. Shouldn't my father be worried? But my uncle is so relaxed and at ease. If the King of Chu sees this, he will definitely think that my uncle was involved!" Nan Hongye saw that Nan Yijun started to bully his father as soon as he stepped into the tent, and he retorted in anger!
However, Nan Hongye's counter-questions and frame-ups were too childish and were not enough to pose a threat to Nan Yijun. What annoyed him was the breathless Emperor Feng Jing who was sitting in front of him!
Staring at the furious Emperor Feng Jing, Nan Yijun sneered, "The princess is truly audacious. She thinks that by getting rid of Princess Chu in this way, she can get Chu Feiyang? Or has my brother, who has been away from state affairs for so many years, lost even the most basic analytical ability? Emperor Yugan sent Chu Feiyang here as a testament to his ability, and the fact that Chu Feiyang was able to safely travel from the capital of Western Chu to Nanxun also demonstrates his capabilities to the world! But my brother is willing to destroy the entire Nanxun Kingdom for Nan Lan's selfish desires. How can your father's spirit rest in peace? As for the crown prince, he can't distinguish right from wrong, loyalty from treachery. At this critical moment, he actually wants to frame me. It really makes me feel disheartened!"
Nan Yijun's words were sincere. These were the truths he had spoken during all the years of fighting with Nan Lan and Nan Hongye. Even Emperor Feng Jing was moved for a moment when he heard them!
When he was not in good health at the time, he appointed Nan Yijun because he saw that he was sincere in protecting the country left by the late emperor. However, as his two children grew up, he began to worry that Nan Yijun would seize power and usurp the throne one day!
However, Nan Lan was, after all, his beloved little princess. At this moment, her life or death was uncertain. Anything he said now would be false. He had to find her first before he could think carefully about what to do next. "Let's send someone down the mountain to look for her first. We'll talk about it after we find her!"
For a moment, Emperor Feng Jing closed his eyes out of exhaustion. He did not look at Nan Yijun's fierce gaze, nor did he look at Nan Hongye's anxious pleading!
Seeing that Emperor Feng Jing still refused to punish Nan Lan, Nan Yijun sneered and turned to leave the tent. However, Nan Hongye was extremely anxious, clenching his fists and ready to stand up and leave...
"Stop! Sit down!" Unexpectedly, Emperor Feng Jing seemed to see through his thoughts and shouted at Nan Hongye to sit down!
"Father! If Nan Yijun finds my sister, I'm afraid..." Nan Hongye couldn't hold back and wanted to discredit Nan Yijun again, but he saw Emperor Feng Jing suddenly open his eyes, and his dark eyes revealed a mysterious coldness, which made Nan Hongye swallow the next words!
"You are the crown prince of a country, so you should act like a crown prince! Your sister is acting recklessly, so do you have to follow her? If this gets into the ears of the people, will you still maintain your prestige as the crown prince? The emperor has always been steady, how can you take on important responsibilities in the future if you are so impatient? Do you think that when you frame Nan Yijun, he will surrender obediently? Seeing that you can't see through it, isn't it his revenge to lead you out?" Emperor Feng Jing glared at Nan Hongye coldly, and calmly analyzed the purpose behind Nan Yijun's series of actions from entering to leaving!
Hearing this, Nan Hongye was shocked and a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The anxiety in his eyes dissipated a little, but after all, she was his own sister. How could he just stand by and watch?
"Father, you have always loved my sister, you can't let anything happen to her!" Nan Hongye frowned, hoping to make a final effort for his sister!
Emperor Feng Jing shook his head, sighed, and spoke slowly, "Your sister made a mistake this time. She should bear the consequences! Ye'er, if father hadn't done this, you wouldn't even be able to become the Crown Prince! Do you think Nan Yijun came in just to accuse you? While analyzing the situation, he told me that he had known about this matter for a long time and had already begun to act!"
Seeing that Emperor Feng Jing was powerless, Nan Hongye's face turned pale instantly, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Could it be that even my father can't stop Nan Yijun?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Nan Hongye felt a chill all over his body, and a murderous aura immediately filled the tent. He then looked at Emperor Feng Jing, and saw that his father, who was usually weak and seriously ill, now had a solemn and murderous look on his face. Nan Hongye couldn't help but feel a little afraid. He didn't know whether this murderous aura was because of what he had just said or because Nan Yijun was truly unstoppable at this moment!
Seeing Nan Hongye's pale face, Emperor Feng Jing felt a little reluctant in his heart. He suppressed his murderous aura and said in a gentle tone, "It's not that your father can't stop Nan Yijun, but, in this matter, both your father and Nan Yijun must give an explanation to the King of Chu! Otherwise, if the two countries go to war, can you bear to see the people of Liming suffer because of your royal sister? Ye'er, sometimes, a little impatience can ruin a big plan!"
He did have selfish motives before. If Nan Lan could gain the favor of the King of Chu, it would undoubtedly increase Nan Hongye's bargaining chips!
Unfortunately, he underestimated the depth of the King of Chu's love for the Princess of Chu, and was too indulgent towards Nan Lan. Now the situation has become like this, so he has no choice but to cut off Nan Lan's arms to protect her!
After he finished speaking, Emperor Feng Jing seemed to be really tired and slowly closed his eyes. Even though there was still chaos outside, he was still calm and composed, without any sign of disorder!
Meanwhile, in another cave at the foot of the mountain, Nan Lan, wearing a red cloak, paced anxiously back and forth, occasionally asking, "Are they here yet?"
"Princess, no one has come yet!" The palace maid guarding outside the cave replied in a low voice!
Hearing this, Nan Lan stopped in disappointment. Could it be that the bloodstains they left behind were not obvious enough, so Chu Feiyang didn't notice anything?
Sitting on the stone bed in the cave with a confused mind, he looked around and saw that the cave was decorated in a festive atmosphere. A red satin quilt had already been spread on the stone bed, and a copper incense burner was burning next to it. An intoxicating fragrance rose from it, which made people excited and their blood vessels dilated. It seemed to have an aphrodisiac effect, and even made Nan Lan's face look a little abnormally flushed!
She moved her body a little uncomfortably, and wanted to untie her cloak to get some air. But when she remembered that she was only wearing a transparent gauze dress as thin as a butterfly's wing under the cloak, she bit her lower lip and endured it!
But as time passed, the more fragrance Nan Lan inhaled into her heart and lungs, the worse her body's tolerance became. She was now lying on the bed, her cheeks flushed, and from time to time, a few sweet moans that made people blush would escape from her mouth. Especially at this time, Nan Lan was in the cave, and the smallest sound would soon emit countless clear echoes. Even the palace maid guarding the cave entrance had a hint of embarrassment in her eyes!
"General, I seem to hear a woman's voice!" Lu Xin, who was assigned by Chu Feiyang to find Yun Qianmeng, 'accidentally' led the guards closer to the cave!
Lu Xin naturally heard the faint sound, and he immediately raised his arm to stop the team's advance, listening attentively to the intermittent sound, trying to determine the direction of the sound...
"In front!" Lu Xin's eyes focused, and he immediately raised his hand and pointed at the long and quiet path in front. If his many years of marching experience were correct, the voice must have come from the cave!
What was puzzling was how a woman's voice could be heard from beneath the cliff. The panting sound didn't sound like the voice of the Princess of Chu!
Although this place is at the foot of a cliff, it is still the royal territory. It is believed that no ordinary people would accidentally enter it. The only explanation is that Princess Nanlan fell off the cliff with the Princess of Chu!
Thinking of Nan Lan, a sneer flashed through Lu Xin's heart. It was really a godsend opportunity. If he saved Nan Lan this time, I'm afraid Nan Yijun would not make things difficult for him!
Thinking of this, Lu Xin couldn't help but reveal a hint of pride on his face, and his steps became more vigorous!
"Ah!" However, his arrival caused panic among the palace maids!
The palace maids standing at the cave entrance exchanged a glance, leaving one to continue watching while the others quickly turned back into the cave, only to discover that Nan Lan had already untied her cloak, her delicate hands unconsciously roaming over her beautiful body...
Seeing this, several people were so frightened that they immediately ran forward and grabbed the cloak that was thrown on the ground to cover Nan Lan's overly exposed body. However, they didn't know that Nan Lan had inhaled too much 3 and was in a state of unbearable pain. How could she let them succeed? They immediately swung the whip in their hands and hit a palace maid in the face...
"Ah..." The palace maid was suddenly hit by the whip. A scar from the right corner of her eyebrow to the left corner of her mouth made her scream in pain. Then she covered her cheek and shrank against the stone wall of the cave, never daring to approach Nan Lan again!
When the other palace maids saw that someone was injured, they slowed down their pulling on Nan Lan and dared not force the cloak on Nan Lan for fear of ending up disfigured!
However, they didn't know that the scream of the palace maid actually provided Lu Xin and others with the exact location!
Hearing this shrill cold sound, Lu Xin's brows straightened, his steps slowed down slightly, and then he and the guards behind him walked quickly and quietly towards the source of the sound, sticking close to the cliff wall!
The palace maid who was originally standing at the cave entrance saw that the person who had just approached had disappeared. For a moment, her eyebrows were full of anxiety. She was a little confused about whether the other party was leaving or planning a sneak attack. She could only turn around and gently remind the few people in the cave, "Let's take the princess away as soon as possible! We can't stay here for long..."
However, before she could finish her words, she was grabbed by the waist by a guard, and a dagger instantly cut her throat, killing her!
The people in the cave noticed something strange about the entrance and immediately became alert. However, they didn't expect that at this moment, Lu Xin appeared at the entrance of the cave in broad daylight...
"I never thought that the princess of Nanxun Kingdom would be such a lewd person!" When Lu Xin found that there were only Nan Lan and several palace maids in the cave, the vigilance in his eyes was instantly lifted!
When he saw Nan Lan lying almost naked on a stone bed not far away, and the incense burning in the cave was also absorbed into his body, Lu Xin felt his blood boiling. Especially after noticing the visual shock brought by Nan Lan's snow-white body rolling on the red silk, Lu Xin's eyes bulged instantly, and his Adam's apple slid up and down several times, and the most primitive desire in his body was instantly aroused...
"General, be careful, there's a trap!" At this moment, the guard standing guard at the entrance of the cave saw that Lu Xin had lost his mind, so he immediately warned him!
'Pah!' Lu Xin noticed the guard's warning, but then realized her body had reacted. She raised her hand and slapped herself hard in the face several times, suppressing the surging blood in her body. She stared sinisterly at Nan Lan, who was already covered in a quilt by the palace maids, and sneered, "How disgusting! A princess of such a prestigious country can't stand loneliness like this. If this gets out, I'm afraid the people of Nanxun will spit on you!"
After saying this, Lu Xin did not move forward. Even though he really wanted to use Nan Lan's body to relieve his discomfort, he also knew that if he touched Nan Lan at this time, all the mistakes that were originally made by Nan Lan would be transferred to him!
At that time, he would either marry Nan Lan or leave his head in Nan Xun. There was no other way!
Even if he married Nan Lan, he would not be able to explain to Emperor Yu Gan when he returned to Xi Chu. If Chu Feiyang interfered again, the crime of "collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country" would fall on his head!
And everything that happened today was probably the result of Nan Lan's plan to seduce Chu Feiyang with Yun Qianmeng's intention, and Chu Feiyang probably followed the plan and wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of himself!
Chu Feiyang is such a shrewd man. We really can't be lax with such a person!
"General, since you already know that this is the princess, why don't you step back three feet? Do you want to ruin the princess's reputation?" A palace maid saw that Nan Lan's body was blocked, and found that Lu Xin was actually standing at the entrance of the cave blocking it, so she shouted loudly!
But Lu Xin ignored her scolding. He looked at Nan Lan's flushed face and those lustful eyes, as if she were a prostitute. He then sarcastically said, "Does she deserve to be called a princess? Someone, go get the regent of Nanxun Kingdom and tell him I've found Princess Nanlan and invite him to see her!"
Upon hearing this, a guard immediately turned and left...
However, the palace maid in the cave was furious. If the regent saw this, not to mention herself, even the princess would not be able to escape the emperor's punishment!
With this thought, the palace maid winked at the people behind her, signaling them to help Nan Lan and follow her out...
But how could such a small action escape Lu Xin's eyes? He just raised his hand slightly, and the cave entrance was full of guards. Even if the palace maid wanted to confront him head-on, she would probably be courting death!
After a standoff, a steady sound of footsteps could be heard outside the cave. Nan Yijun, with a sullen expression, walked up to Lu Xin with his personal guards and said in a cold voice, "General Hu Wei is incredibly fast! He's even more familiar with the terrain here than I, the Regent of Nanxun!"
Lu Xin waved his guards to clear the way, allowing Nan Yijun to see the scene inside the cave. He also fought back without showing any weakness, "The Regent has misunderstood! It's not that I'm familiar with the terrain here, but the princess's screams are too irritating! If the Regent doesn't believe it, he can just ask the palace maid to lift the quilt and see what kind of attitude your Princess Nanxun presents herself to others!"
Following Lu Xin's words, Nan Yijun looked into the cave. The cloak and transparent gauze dress thrown on the ground immediately made Nan Yijun angry!
At this moment, a delicate moan was heard from under the quilt...
Nan Yijun walked forward without a word and vigorously lifted a corner of the quilt. He saw that not only was Nan Lan's face flushed, but even her exposed neck was red. Her distracted eyes were clearly due to excessive aphrodisiac incense. Nan Yijun suddenly raised his arm and slapped Nan Lan's cheek...
With a loud bang, Nan Lan and the maid who was supporting her fell to the ground. A streak of blood flowed from the corner of Nan Lan's mouth, and a hole was made on her delicate face from hitting the corner of the stone bed. Blood instantly dripped down her cheek, and in the blink of an eye, it dyed the brocade quilt wrapped around her red, making the bright red even more vivid and frightening!
Nan Yijun had used all his strength to deliver that slap. He was now out of breath, staring at Nan Lan, who had not yet reacted, with a gloomy face. If she still didn't reflect on herself, he naturally wouldn't mind waking her up to avoid embarrassment!
"Princess...Princess..." Seeing the Regent so furious, several palace maids were already frightened. They knelt down and crawled to Nan Lan's side, helping her sit on the ground, and frantically bandaged the wound on her head...
The pain in her head gradually brought Nan Lan back to consciousness, but the first thing she saw was Nan Yijun's blackened face. He squatted down, stretched out a hand and pinched her jaw hard, saying cruelly, "You know what you did! This time, not even your father can save you!"
After saying this, Nan Yijun dismissed Nan Lan with disdain. With a wave of his hand, he ordered his personal guards to escort Nan Lan out of the cave first. He then walked over to Lu Xin, who had been standing by to watch the show, and said coldly, "How could General Hu Wei be so kind as to inform me to come and greet the princess?
