When Yu Nian saw Han Chen suddenly look up, his heart tightened and he increased the strength of his hands suddenly, not caring at all about the life or death of a cat.
"What's wrong?" A natural smile appeared on her face. In the warm sunshine, her fine hair brushed her face. The sunlight kissed the corners of her lips, like stars falling into her light-colored pupils, rippling out thousands of stars.
Han Chen's gaze fell on Yu Nian's collar, where a thin, long white hair was so tiny it was almost invisible. "If Your Highness sees anything unusual in the garden, you can call me. No matter where I am, I will come here as soon as possible."
Yu Nian nodded randomly, thinking that he must make Han Chen leave quickly, otherwise he would easily discover Xiaobai's existence if he stayed there for too long.
"I understand. If you don't have anything else, you can leave first. I want to enjoy the scenery here alone."
Seeing Han Chen leave, she breathed a sigh of relief and released the poor cat that was stuck on her back.
The white cat lay on the chair, breathing heavily but not breathing, looking listless and listless. When Yu Nian saw him, she immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, what's wrong with you?!"
Yu Nian asked in a panic, lowering her voice.
“Ahem…”
Yu Nian froze, slowly turned around and looked around, but did not see any other person.
Where did that coughing sound just now come from?
However, she looked around for a while but never heard the second strange sound.
Han Ting heard his own cough and suddenly fell silent. He meowed twice guiltily, fearing that the little female would notice something was wrong.
Yu Nian picked up Xiaobai, her voice revealing fear: "Xiaobai, this place is not clean, let's go back to the bedroom first."
She was completely unaware that the culprit was hiding in her arms, with his head buried in guilt.
Gentle fragrance is really misleading.
Han Ting reluctantly broke free from the little female's arms, and without waiting for Yu Nian to chase him, he arrived at the secret meeting point with his agile body.
The raven circling in the air saw the boss coming out, avoided the guards' supervision, and landed on a thick bamboo.
He lowered his head and used his long beak to comb his fur for a while before he saw the white cat Shanshan running out.
"Boss, why are you so slow?" The raven opened its mouth and spoke in human language.
The white cat squatted on the ground and licked its paws to hide its guilt. "The palace here is huge. It took me a while to get here."
Raven didn't ramble. He took a scroll of letter from his ankle and said, "This is a topographical map I drew after observing. I've circled several possible locations where the Heart of the Ocean might be stored. Is there anything else I can help you with?"
White Cat put the letter away and said, "I will go explore these places tonight. Please ask the brothers to help me prepare for the meeting."
"Okay, let's keep it the same as before?"
"Well, we'll act at two in the morning."
A raven suddenly flew down from the bamboo, and Han Ting subconsciously dodged it.
"Boss, you smell so good!"
"Get out!" The man's low and broken voice sounded.
Seeing the white cat leap up and try to scratch him to the ground with one claw, the raven quickly flapped its wings and flew away, teasing in a cheesy voice, "Is that the scent of some little female? Anyway, I've only smelled sweat on you, boss. It definitely can't be your body odor."
A lion's roar immediately rang out in the bamboo forest.
"Come down if you dare!" The white cat patted the ground, leaving a claw mark.
The raven knew when to stop. If Han Ting had not maintained the form of a kitten, he would definitely fly up and slap the talkative raven to the ground with one claw.
After the chattering raven left, the bamboo forest instantly became quiet.
The white cat raised its paw and tucked its round head into its armpits. Not smelling anything, it ran back with peace of mind.
After dinner, Yu Nian found that Xiaobai was missing again.
But this time, there are obviously more important things to do.
Han Chen has already urged Ye Luo to come to the gate of His Highness's palace.
"Your Highness, the sun is setting."
"Guard Han, don't be anxious. It's not dark yet. If I remember correctly, His Majesty's punishment is to kneel after dark." Ye Luo crossed his arms over his chest, standing tall, his inky black hair swaying gently in the breeze.
Han Chen remained silent, and his Majesty's oral instructions were indeed true.
When Yu Nian arrived, he saw two door gods standing at the door to ward off evil spirits, one with a blank expression and the other with a gloomy smile.
"Han Chen, I'll take him in today too. It's better to let him kneel at the head of my bed than at the door. This way I'll feel better." Yu Nian no longer felt so guilty about telling lies.
"Your Highness, His Majesty's decree must not be disobeyed repeatedly." For the first time, Han Chen showed his toughness in front of Yu Nian. His stern face showed disapproval. "I will supervise the hostage's punishment on behalf of Your Highness."
Seeing that she couldn't convince him, Yu Nian directly tried to pull Ye Luo into the bedroom.
Han Chen took a step forward, his manner not overstepping his bounds. "Your Highness, please think twice. If His Majesty knew that you were so indulgent towards the hostage, I'm afraid it would cause His Majesty's displeasure."
Han Chen was not wrong. If the queen knew that Yu Nian had disobeyed many times for a lowly hostage, it would probably only lead to more targeting.
Ye Luo had no masochistic tendencies. His eyes were dark, "Guard Han, could it be that you saw with your own eyes that His Highness indulged me? Otherwise, you are fabricating stories and framing His Highness."
Han Chen frowned and looked at Yu Nian: "That's not what I meant."
Ye Luo pressed on, "Your Highness's room door was closed at night. You could neither see nor hear what happened inside. How could this be anything but fabrication? Moreover, if Your Majesty asked, it would only be a matter of believing Guard Han's words. Could it be that Guard Han is only loyal to Your Majesty, and not to Your Highness?"
He raised the corners of his eyebrows and saw panic and anxiety on the face of Han Chen, who was always calm and upright. The corners of Ye Luo's lips curled up slightly.
Half of the sky is dusk, and half is sunset.
"Your Highness, I have always been loyal to you. Please do not believe in the instigation of such a villain." The flickering light and shadow in the sky were reflected in Han Chen's icy blue eyes, and there was a hint of expectation in his anxious words of defense.
Yu Nian's eyes wandered between Han Chen and Ye Luo. At this moment, as long as she followed Ye Luo's words and got angry, Han Chen would definitely let her bring Ye Luo into the house without any doubt.
But for some reason, she couldn't say such words when she saw those eyes that only reflected her figure.
"Guard Han, see, His Highness has been deeply hurt by you. You'd better think about how to apologize to His Highness instead of this time." Ye Luo pretended to be doing good for him, twisting the facts upside down. He walked a few steps to Yu Nian and gently put his arm around her shoulder. "Your Highness, let me accept your punishment."
He drew out his words, making them sound meaningful and intriguing, but his eyes were looking at Han Chen provocatively.
It was as if he was mocking him. He was just a guard. How could he be better than a proton like him?
