As soon as he walked into the door of the house, the sound of two children playing came over. He only heard Nan Zhi's soft voice. She looked at Xiao Bao and said, "Then we have a deal. We will be good friends for life."
Xiaobao also nodded, stretched out his hand, and pinkied with Nanzhi, and pushed the door open. When Xiaobao saw that it was Xu Miaomiao, he put his hand away a little embarrassedly, but Nanzhi didn't care, and smiled sweetly: "Beautiful sister, is Erbao okay? Thank you so much for today. If it weren't for those people of his, I'm afraid he would have been chasing us. I didn't expect that a little girl like him would be so courageous. I think the friend that Nanzhi likes must be right."
Xu Miaomiao nodded and responded to Nan Zhi: "He is fine now. Now he just needs to bandage the wound and he will be fine. I also applied some medicine that can heal the wound. Is your arm also scratched?"
Nan Zhi smiled slightly: "It's okay. It's inevitable for children to get hurt. I used to stumble and fall when I was in the palace. It's okay."
Xu Miaomiao looked at the girl in front of her and felt happy. How could the most beloved little princess in the palace always stumble? Even if he was about to fall, the secret guards would immediately help him up. How could they let him fall there? Obviously, he could tell that these words were meant to comfort Xu Miaomiao. Now such a young child knew this. Xu Miaomiao felt sad and thought that he had underestimated Nan Zhi.
When Nanzhi saw that it was Xu Miaomiao who came in, he immediately laughed. Xu Miaomiao smiled at him and then asked the question in his mind. He looked at Nanzhi and said, "You told me before that there are always secret guards following you. Why didn't the secret guards follow you today?"
Nan Zhi shook her head in confusion when she heard this, and nodded to Xu Miaomiao: "Yes, the secret guards that my father gave me at that time were required to follow me at all times, and they were not allowed to retreat without my father's order. But why did they suddenly disappear? This matter is indeed strange."
Obviously, this person must be someone who is extremely familiar with their itinerary and knows that Nan Zhi is a princess. The secret guard must have been tripped up by something. When Xu Miaomiao thought of this, her heart sank. Who on earth would want to harm them in this way and even use a few children as bait? Xu Miaomiao was still thinking about it, and after seeing that the children were fine, she left the courtyard and strolled in the yard, only to hear a shrill cry coming from outside the door.
Xu Miaomiao had doubts in her mind and immediately walked over there. There had been no peace for the past few days. As long as there were people, there would be constant trouble.
Princess Jiahe was standing in front of Xu Miaomiao's door with a whip in her hand and a token in her hand. Nangong Jin was also standing next to Princess Jiahe. Seeing this scene, Xu Miaomiao felt nervous and immediately walked up to them and said, "I wonder what the reason is for Nangong and Princess Jiahe to visit so late."
Princess Jiahe shook her chin triumphantly, took out the token in her hand, shook it at Xu Miaomiao twice, and said, "Xu Miaomiao, do you know what this is? Seeing this token is like seeing, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the Ninth Princess is your most beloved sister. Now she is injured, and the secret guards have come back to report. Let us take her back quickly. You failed to protect the princess, and you in the Song Mansion will definitely be punished. Since the Ninth Princess was injured, Xu Miaomiao, even if you have ten heads, they are not enough for you to fight with."
Nangong Jin frowned when he heard this, but he didn't say a word. He was silent for a long time before he stepped forward and said to Xu Miaomiao, "Madam Xu, where is the Ninth Princess now? We must take her back immediately."
Nangong Jin also said this, and Xu Miaomiao did not hesitate to let the door open, looking at the two of them and said, "In the backyard."
After hearing this, Princess Jiahe immediately cracked her whip and walked in with a swagger. Xu Miaomiao glanced at him without saying anything, but Nangong Jin walked up to Xu Miaomiao and said to him, "It was an accident. After the princess stayed in your house yesterday, the secret guards came to report it overnight and immediately sent a letter back to the capital. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very angry when he learned about it. He was afraid that something might happen to the Ninth Princess, so he immediately ordered us to take her back. Especially after hearing that the Ninth Princess was injured, I rushed here immediately."
Xu Miaomiao raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "Didn't this secret guard follow the emperor's orders to guard the Ninth Princess at all times? Why did he leave suddenly?"
Nangong Jin shook his head: "I don't know, but Jiahe did say so."
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she followed Nangong Jin to the backyard. Her guess was infinitely magnified. Was it someone who did it deliberately, or was it really a coincidence? Why did the secret guard just suddenly leave them, and several people encountered so many accidents? If it was a coincidence, those assassins obviously could not have been sent by the leader of the Jiahe group. If they hurt the Ninth Princess, then their entire palace would be destroyed. Moreover, this person knew so clearly where Erbao and the others would go to play today, so he must be someone in the palace. Could it be that he and Princess Jiahe were working together from inside and outside?
When Xu Miaomiao thought of this, her guesses were magnified, and she walked into the back room unknowingly. Princess Jiahe immediately opened the door and came to the bedside, only to see Erbao and Nanzhi lying together. Nanzhi was holding the ointment in her hand and carefully applying it on Erbao's legs.
When Princess Jiahe saw this, she immediately frowned and shouted, "How dare you let the princess apply medicine to you?"
Nan Zhi raised her head when she heard this, feeling a little unhappy. Er Bao also blinked, not understanding what he meant by this. She only curled her lips and said to the woman in front of her, "Princess Jia He, I've told you before, don't mind my affairs. I finally made a good friend like Er Bao. What's wrong with applying medicine to my good friend? I don't think it's a big deal. Why are you pretending to be powerful here?"
Princess Jiahe was also stunned when she heard this. Although the Ninth Princess had a kind heart, she grew up in the deep palace after all, so how could she not understand many things? She was naturally aware of Princess Jiahe's actions today.
