Chapter 423: Strong outside and infatuated inside male protagonist x beautiful and cruel reborn female protagonist 17

Aunt Qiao and Xie Anhuai sat facing each other. After drinking the wedding wine, Aunt Qiao was a little tipsy and her face was flushed.

Xie Anhuai swallowed his saliva and said in a hoarse voice, "Qiao'er is so beautiful."

"Let's go to bed early"

An Yi and An Er were guarding the gate of the courtyard, listening to the noises coming from inside the room, and were so embarrassed that they didn't know where to look.

"My Lord, this is too impatient," An Yi muttered uncomfortably.

An Er didn't show any expression. He glanced at An Yi and said, "Your Highness has been waiting for this for so long. He finally got her back. How can he not be impatient?"

"Our two missions are to guard the gate. No one is allowed to disturb us."

It was not until dawn that the noise in the room quieted down.

An Yi and An Er stood there with dark circles under their eyes, looking hopeless.

Because they had just gotten married, the emperor allowed Xie Anhuai to rest in the palace for a few days. During these days, Xie Anhuai was so drunk and dreamy that he didn't even want to get out of bed.

If Aunt Qiao didn't know Xie Anhuai well, she would almost have thought that Xie Anhuai was a pervert.

Aunt Qiao sat in front of the bronze mirror, and Xie Anhuai stood behind her, drawing her eyebrows. They really looked like a fairy couple.

"Your Majesty, I have an urgent matter to report."

The wonderful atmosphere was shattered by An Yi's panicked voice.

Xie Anhuai frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

The reason why Xie Anhuai didn't get angry was because he knew An Yi. If there was no urgent matter, An Yi would not come to disturb him at this time.

An Yi handed the urgent secret letter in his hand to Xie Anhuai.

"This is a secret letter sent by Wu Yuan's subordinates. I haven't read it, but the messenger said that Your Majesty had better make plans as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

Xie Anhuai took the secret letter in silence and read it. After reading it, he angrily clutched the letter in his hand. When he let go of it, the paper had broken into pieces.

"You are a dignified priestess, but you are obsessed with my wife. You are awesome!"

An Yi's eyes widened and he said, "Witch? Your Majesty, what should we do? If the witch wants to harm the princess, we can't defend ourselves."

This is also the most difficult part. The witch's abilities are beyond their imagination. There are so many evil ways and it is really hard to guard against them.

"Send someone to check the whereabouts of the witch. We need to strike first."

After listening to their words, Aunt Qiao had a bad feeling in her heart. Could it be that the witch was looking for her because she knew that she was a reborn person? But even though she was a reborn person, it would not hinder the witch who was far away in the Wuling tribe.

The witch has already left the Wuling tribe. Without the mirror, the witch can only go to the capital of Tianqi by herself and absorb the pure soul successfully. Only then can she gain eternal life. Otherwise, she only has less than half a year left.

After the witch left the Wuling tribe, the evil spirit fire was in danger of being extinguished. Moreover, since the witch left the Wuling tribe, the Wuling tribe has experienced two earth dragon reversals, with countless casualties.

It was after Wu Yuan heard about this that he quickly wrote a letter and asked his confidant to deliver it to Xie Anhuai as quickly as possible.

If the priestess really absorbed the pure soul, wouldn't she become even more reckless and do evil? I absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.

An Yi and his companions investigated for more than a month before they gradually gained some clues.

"Your Majesty, according to the investigation of my subordinates, what the second prince of the Wuling tribe said is true."

"As early as a month and a half ago, the witch had already left the Wuling tribe, causing the Wuling tribe's evil spirit fire to become weak, which has caused several earth dragons to flip over."

Xie Anhuai's body froze, and he slammed the table hard. "If the witch really left the Wuling tribe a month and a half ago, then she must have arrived in the capital by now, and it is very likely that she has already hidden around us."

"My Lord, what should we do next?"

Xie Anhuai thought for a moment with a serious face and said, "Go to the secret guard camp and transfer a few more secret guards to protect the princess secretly. Don't let the princess make any mistakes."

Aunt Qiao has been trapped in the palace for a month. Ever since Xie Anhuai received the letter from Wu Yuan, he no longer allowed her to go out without permission. Aunt Qiao was also willing to cooperate, after all, Xie Anhuai would not harm her.

"Joer"

Aunt Qiao was originally very happy that Xie Anhuai came back so early today, but when she saw the chicken soup in Xie Anhuai's hand, she felt nauseous again.

"My dear, I am tired of drinking chicken soup every day."

Xie Anhuai put the chicken soup on the table and handed it to Aunt Qiao with a spoon.

"Qiaoer is too thin. Doctor Yu said she needs to take more supplements."

Aunt Qiao swallowed a mouthful of chicken soup while resisting her discomfort. Seeing Xie Anhuai's worried look, she asked worriedly, "My dear, are you hiding something from me?"

Xie Anhuai sighed. He really wanted to tell Aunt Qiao about the matter today, and let her be more careful about the people around her and not trust anyone easily.

"The witch has arrived in the capital, Qiao'er, don't leave the palace during this period, and don't trust even the people in the palace."

Aunt Qiao frowned and said, "My husband, are you afraid that the witch will pretend to be someone close to us and attack me?"

Xie Anhuai nodded and said, "That's right. Even if An Yi and An Er come and say they want to take you somewhere, don't believe them. Your husband will not let Qiao Er go anywhere during this period of time."

Although they had lost their freedom, Aunt Qiao knew that this was the only thing they could do until the witch was found.

The next day, after lunch, Xiao Tao brought a plate of fruit. She glanced at Aunt Qiao's expression and said, "Princess, let me take you to the garden for a walk. It's not a good idea to stay in the house all the time."

Aunt Qiao lowered her eyes, hiding the gleam of light in them.

Xiaotao felt something was wrong. She had told Xiaotao to stay indoors and not go anywhere during this period.

Now Xiaotao said this to her, wasn't her purpose to get her to leave?

Aunt Qiao coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Tao, didn't I ask you to put away the Nine-tailed Phoenix Hairpin? Bring it here, I want to take a look."

"This..." It was when Xiaotao hesitated that Aunt Qiao immediately noticed something was wrong.

"Ouch!" Aunt Qiao suddenly raised her voice, causing the secret guards hiding nearby to rush out and surround Aunt Qiao and Xiao Tao.

"Princess, what happened?"

Qiao Jinjin quickly stood up and hid behind one of the secret guards. She pointed at Xiaotao and said, "She is not Xiaotao. Catch her quickly."

"You..." Xiao Tao gritted her teeth, glared at Qiao Jinjin fiercely, and said in a cold voice, "You are worthy of being the one with the purest soul that I like. Your observation ability is really good."

"It's a pity you can't catch me"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Tao threw something on the ground, and then a puff of white smoke rose up around him. When the white smoke dissipated, Xiao Tao was no longer around.
