Chapter 177 That Little Girl



Did something happen to Yao'er? Yue Nanchen could no longer sit still. He turned around and walked around the room, and found a set of eunuch clothes. Although they didn't fit well, at least they covered the body and concealed the body.

After opening the door a crack and making sure that there was no one around, Yue Nanchen lowered his head, flashed out of the room, and took advantage of the boundless night to walk out along the small garden.

The most important thing now is to catch a little eunuch and ask about Yaoer's news!

Yue Nanchen didn't care about his weak body and hungry stomach. He lay in ambush behind the rockery and waited for half an hour. Finally, he waited for the eunuch who was lazy and came out to pee in the middle of the night.

He hung the soft sword coldly on the little eunuch's neck, and the little eunuch's urge to urinate immediately shrank back in fear. He held up his trousers and cried, "Please spare my life, my dear, please spare my life. I am just a little eunuch. I didn't do anything and I know nothing!"

Yue Nanchen lowered his voice and said coldly, "Shut up!" The young eunuch was so scared that he immediately closed his mouth and trembled all over.

"Let me ask you, has anything big happened in the palace in the past two days?" Yue Nanchen whispered, pressing hard on the soft sword on the little eunuch's neck.

"This...these two days...Sir, are you referring to the fact that the Emperor sent troops to attack Nanyue?" the young eunuch said in a trembling voice.

"Mi Zun is going to attack Nanyue?" Yue Nanchen's eyes darkened and his heart trembled. He expected Mi Zun to be ambitious, but he didn't expect that he would take action so quickly!

"Yes... yes, now the princess and prince of Nanyue are in the hands of the emperor. The emperor has sent General Cai E to attack Nanyue. He sent troops yesterday..."

Seeing that Yue Nanchen was interested in this matter, the young eunuch immediately told him everything he knew.

He blurted out everything he knew, fearing that he had not said it clearly enough, and would annoy the old man behind him, who slashed his neck!

"They sent out troops yesterday?" Yue Nanchen was even more stunned. Miluo Country was at most two days away from the Nanyue border, which meant... I wonder if Third Brother had made full preparations...

Moreover, Nanning and Nanhan are in Mi Zun's hands, so the third brother might have some concerns...

The young eunuch's eyes turned, and while Yue Nanchen was feeling overwhelmed, he lowered his head and immediately ran out howling, "There's an assassin! There's an assassin!"

Yue Nanchen's eyes darkened, and he stepped forward and chopped off the little eunuch's head with a sword. However, because he had used his internal energy, his blood and qi became unstable. He felt a sweetness in his throat and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood!

The young eunuch's cry had alarmed the patrolling guards, and the tiny flashes of fire in the distance were rapidly moving towards this side, mixed with the guards' calls.

Yue Nanchen's eyes darkened and he quickly went into the dark. He was still seriously injured and couldn't fight the guards head-on. He jumped into a nearby courtyard in a panic.

"It's you?" A woman's crisp and surprised voice sounded behind him. Yue Nanchen looked back warily and met Xiangze's big eyes of surprise.

After taking a look at Yue Nanchen's clothes and listening to the sounds of catching the assassin outside, Xiangze quickly dropped the hoe in his hand, stepped forward and grabbed him, "Come with me!"

Yue Nanchen looked at the woman's hand holding his arm with some disgust, but still followed her into the room obediently.

"Xiang'er, who is it?" A soft voice sounded from inside.

Xiangze was stunned and shouted, "Mother, there is no one. I heard the noise outside, so I didn't want to cause any trouble.

Come in! "

A long sigh came from the inner room, and the woman's voice became even gentler, "Xiang'er, it's good that you know!"

Xiangze stuck out his tongue playfully, glanced at Yue Nanchen who had a sullen look on his face, and quickly pulled him into another inner room, whispering, "Don't make a sound, my mother hates you the most. If she knew you were here, she would kill you herself without my father having to do anything!"

She pulled down the curtains on the bed, tucked Yue Nanchen into the quilt, sat on the edge of the bed, and let her hair down.

Yue Nanchen lay in the quilt, smelling the fragrance of the woman's back. He slowly closed his eyes, not wanting to be affected, and paid close attention to the movements outside.

The patrolling guards seemed to have a conflict with the guards guarding outside the yard. At this time, the woman's gentle voice sounded again, "Long Qing, let them in, they are also following orders!"

"Thank you, Queen!" A guard's voice rang out loudly, and soon the sound of guards moving around could be heard.

Soon, there was a knock on the door, and Xiangze, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, called out lazily, "Who?"

The door was opened immediately.

"Princess, I have been ordered to search for the assassin. Please forgive me!" the guard said respectfully.

Xiangze stood up from the bedside, "What time is it? Are you searching for assassins? My mother and I are fine, where did the assassin come from? Could it be that little bitch Liu Yirou is thinking of something to bully us again?"

The guard stood there in a daze, speechless.

"Xiang'er!" The woman's gentle voice sounded again, "That person is the queen, how can he be so rude?"

Xiangze stuck out his tongue unconvinced and snorted.

She said, "Go ahead and search if you want. I'm going to sleep anyway!" She took off her shoes and lay down on the bed, even pulling the quilt over her.

Yue Nanchen moved forward awkwardly, but she held his arm tightly and he couldn't move.

It seemed that the guards were very afraid of the woman in the room. They just looked around the room and naturally did not dare to go forward to check the princess's quilt, and then they walked out.

"Sorry to bother Her Majesty!" the guard commander whispered, his words full of respect.

"Don't call me that anymore. I'm Concubine Xiang now!" There was a hint of loneliness in the woman's voice.

The guard saluted again, "Your Highness, I will take my leave!"

Soon, silence returned to the courtyard.

Yue Nanchen sat up suddenly. Concubine Xiang? Isn't that Princess Xiang of the Jieke Kingdom? The former queen of the Miluo Kingdom? I didn't expect Xiangze to be Jie Xiang's daughter. No wonder she said her mother hated him!

It was he who destroyed the Kingdom of Giant Clam, so naturally Giant Xiang hated him, but he did not expect that he owed such a big favor to this mother and daughter today.

"Xiang'er, no matter who he is, send him away. This is not a place for him to stay for long!" The woman's gentle voice sounded again. It turned out that she already knew that Xiangze had hidden someone in the room!

"Yes, mother!" Xiangze stuck out his tongue playfully, sat up, sat side by side with Yue Nanchen, and smiled, "It's great that you're alive!"

Yue Nanchen's eyes flashed and he quickly got out of bed, but his stomach made a gurgling sound.

"Haha!" Xiangze laughed and whispered, "Are you hungry? Wait a minute!" She also got out of bed, took some cakes from the table, wrapped them in oilcloth and stuffed them into Yue Nanchen's mouth.

In his hand, "Are you going to leave the palace?"

Yue Nanchen didn't say anything. He just wanted to know about Yao'er. The attack of Miluo country on Nanyue had already made him lose his temper. If something happened to Yao'er again...

"Has a woman been captured in the palace in the past few days?" Yue Nanchen asked in a low voice, stuffing the oil bag into his arms.

"Woman? Is she the woman who was lying on your knees that day?" Xiangze raised his eyebrows, his eyes slightly dim.

Yue Nanchen didn't want to get entangled with her, so he just said coldly, "Tell me!"

"I don't know. I was imprisoned by my father for three or four days because I stole the antidote for you. How would I know if your beloved woman was caught?!"

Xiangze asked loudly and impatiently, she had done so much for him, why was there only that woman in his heart?

Yue Nanchen was slightly stunned, but he didn't like to say sorry to others. He would repay Xiangze's kindness to him! He turned around and walked out.

"You...why have you become so unreasonable?" Xiangze stomped his feet and said loudly.

Yue Nanchen stopped and turned slowly, his eyes cold, "What did you say?"

Xiangze pursed his pink lips, "You weren't like this before, how did you change so quickly?"

Yue Nanchen frowned, "Before?"

"You must have forgotten. Do you remember that you saved a little girl in Giant Clam Country five years ago? There was a big fire on that street at that time, and you rescued a little girl from the fire!"

Xiangze smiled and blinked, trying hard to act innocent, hoping that Yue Nanchen would remember.

Five years ago? Five years ago, when the war was imminent, he went to the Tridacna Kingdom to gather information and happened to encounter a fire. He did rescue a little girl from the fire. Could Xiangze be that little girl?
