Chapter 894 No One
An Xiaohuan asked in confusion.
"Why don't you ask Emperor Yue for help?"
Ning Yunxi pretended to talk about everything.
"Under the influence of the fragrant incense, I have a special affection for the King of Chen, and I am in opposition to my elder brother in the court, and the disputes are endless."
"At that time, we were having a quarrel and ignored each other. I was stubborn and didn't want to go to him."
"I was so arrogant that I thought that King Di Jin was easy to deal with and I could come and go as I pleased. I never expected this to happen."
"I don't know Prince Li, and I can't go back to the emperor. I have to make plans for Prince Dijin as a last resort."
An Xiaohuan’s words are concise and to the point.
"King Dijin is mediocre in talent and is indeed easy to deal with."
"I just heard that Lord Fang has been hiding under the tutelage of Prince Di Jin, assisting him in his affairs."
"With Lord Fang's intelligence and talent, you can't escape."
Ning Yunxi frowned slightly, looking distressed.
"At first, I didn't know that Lord Fang was plotting to be a minister to King Dijin."
"After careful consideration, I finally understood that the reason why King Di Jin had been able to stand firm for so many years must be because of the support of the Fang Clan. However, it was too late to figure it all out."
"As you expected, Prince Di Jin and I are innocent. He is entangled with me not for love, but for the political situation."
"In theory, according to Lord Defang's plan, Prince Dijin doesn't need me. However, he is worried that if I turn to the emperor, it will be harmful to them. So, they spread rumors and used all kinds of tricks to pester me and not let me leave."
"I really tried my best, but I couldn't defeat Lord Fang..."
An Xiaohuan's eyes were filled with tenderness and care.
"Don't be afraid, Xi'er. I tried my best to come back just to save you."
Ning Yunxi slowly raised her eyes and cast a touching look.
"Thank you for your kindness, Huanlang."
An Xiaohuan's smile was faint and her affection was as gentle as silk.
"I'm afraid you'll suffer from your old illness if you stay in this room for a long time."
"Shall we go back to Mount Xiongmei to collect herbs and reminisce about the past?"
Ning Yunxi showed some worry.
"Will it be unsafe to go up the mountain before dawn?"
An Xiaohuan spoke softly to comfort her.
"Don't worry, Xi'er. I will protect you."
"If we go up the mountain at this time, we can watch the sunrise together, pick herbs in the morning light, and enjoy our moods. Isn't that a pleasure?"
Ning Yunxi smiled sweetly.
"Well, let's go."
"Huan Lang, please go first."
An Xiaohuan's behavior suddenly became awkward.
"Would you like to ride on the same horse with me? That way, I can better protect you."
Seeing through his heart, Ning Yunxi followed his wishes and asked shyly.
"The horse is so tall that I can't reach him. Can you carry me on the saddle like before?"
Old memories came to An Xiaohuan's mind, and he felt sweet in his heart.
"it is good."
In this way, the two of them rode on the same horse, close to each other and inseparable.
An Xiaohuan rode his horse at a very fast speed, not at all like a couple on a date, but just like someone trying hard to shake off the person who was following him.
Ning Yunxi sensed something was wrong.
He thought that his brother had sent people to spy, or that Uncle Shao was acting secretly, so he rode his horse quickly to get rid of them?
As she was thinking, she suddenly heard his voice beside her: "You are good at surveying the terrain, and I know a thing or two about it too. Let's go up the mountain and work together to use the terrain of Mount Qiongmei to trap the enemy and get out of this difficult situation."
Ning Yunxi was shocked.
I thought he proposed riding on the same horse in order to get closer, but I didn't expect that he was just trying to pass on a message.
Ning Yunxi misunderstood his feelings and looked a little embarrassed.
"Where are the enemies?"
"I left the house in secret, carefully checking that no one followed me."
An Xiaohuan didn't dare to sweat and kept a close eye on the movements around him.
"It's not that someone is following you, but that King Li's people are following me."
"Just now in the guest room, there were many things I couldn't say because the people of Prince Li were lurking nearby."
Ning Yunxi was confused by what she heard.
"We don't care about the government, so why should we be on guard against them?"
An Xiaohuan was in a very dangerous situation, his hair stood on end, as if he was running for his life.
"It's hard for me to explain it to you right now."
"Let's work together to trap them first. I'll explain it to you slowly later."
Ning Yunxi subconsciously felt inferior.
"Surveying the terrain may be my strength, but how can I fight against the people of King Li?"
"I certainly can't trap them."
An Xiaohuan encouraged.
"I have seen your talents many times, and they are definitely stronger than those of King Li."
"It's just that you are used to belittling yourself and always look down on yourself."
"Don't worry, I will help you. It won't be a problem to deal with them."
Thinking of Fifth Senior Sister's instructions and her mother's suicide note in the medical space, Ning Yunxi asked questions.
"Do you know who is following you?"
"Are you from Beizhao Taichung?"
An Xiaohuan answered.
"I don't know."
"They are hidden in the dark, and I can't see them."
Ride as fast as you can and quickly reach Xiongmei Mountain in the northern suburbs.
The two worked together and used the terrain of the mountain to restrain King Li's men.
After being busy for a long time, the sky was getting light. Ning Yunxi was curious and looked around, but found that there was no one there, and she couldn't help feeling disappointed.
"I said, with my dull talent, I can't trap them."
"Look, there's no one on the mountain road."
An Xiaohuan was shocked when he heard this and hurried to check the situation.
"Huh? How could that be?"
He was in disbelief, walking back and forth and looking around several times.
"Could it be that they didn't follow?"
"how can that be possible?"
Ning Yunxi looked confused.
"Why isn't it possible?"
An Xiaohuan was still in shock, his brows were very serious.
"Prince Li is watching me very closely."
"Ever since I became a subordinate of King Li as an informant, my every move has been under King Li's control."
"There's no way he'll let me go free."
Ning Yunxi asked in confusion.
"Why is he looking at you so closely?"
An Xiaohuan was uneasy and blurted out.
"because of you……"
Realizing that he almost let the cat out of the bag, he stopped talking abruptly.
Ning Yunxi asked blankly.
"Because of me? Because of what?"
An Xiaohuan's thoughts raced and he quickly came up with an excuse.
"Because you and I have a close relationship."
"Your Highness Prince Li is afraid that you and I will conspire together to combine the power of the Emperor and Prince Dijin to be hostile to him and catch him off guard."
Afraid that she would ask more questions, he changed the subject.
"The people of Prince Li will definitely take action. Let's look around to see if there's anything we missed."
Ning Yunxi was kind and comforting.
"Huan Lang is too worried."
"Maybe you rode too fast and they lost you."
An Xiaohuan realized it later.
"Really? Am I very fast?"
Ning Yunxi looks pitiful.
"Yes."
“I was very scared along the way.”
An Xiaohuan blamed himself deeply.
"Xi'er, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
"You don't know, King Li's methods are extremely terrifying. I am really scared."
Ning Yunxi smiled warmly and helped him sit down on the big rock.
"I have heard about his methods."
"Don't be afraid, Huanlang. If he shows up, or if anyone from Beizhaotai shows up, I will protect you."
An Xiaohuan was moved, with tears in his eyes.
"Xi'er, thank you so much."
"Before I left, I had so many worries and had so many nightmares. I was afraid that you would forget me, and even more afraid that you would not forgive me."
"It was my fault for leaving you. I am useless. Thank you for being magnanimous and for tolerating my incompetence."
Ning Yunxi is humble.
"Our feelings are unwavering."
"You are good enough to be remembered, not me."
She asked as she admired the sunrise.
"Prince Li is so strict, how can you escape his clutches and return to the capital to save me?"
