Chapter 896 It’s Better to Confess Sincerely
At noon, I woke up in a deep sleep and walked into a guest room, where I saw Prince Li sitting with a stern face and An Xiaohuan kneeling and paying great respects.
"My name is An Xiaohuan, and I respectfully wish His Royal Highness Prince Li good health."
Gu Yuanqiong looked solemn and angry.
"I have warned you to be quiet and not touch her."
An Xiaohuan flatly denied it.
"Your Majesty, I have seen clearly that I have been respectful to Princess Yuexi and have not done anything inappropriate."
Gu Yuanqiong slammed the table and was furious.
"What did your dirty hands do on Mount Qiongmei? Do you think I know nothing about it?!"
An Xiaohuan was startled and terrified.
"I am...I am..."
Gu Yuanqiong's eyes were fierce and he looked at her with the majesty of a lion.
"You think that by conspiring with Princess Yuexi and taking advantage of the mountain, you can get rid of my men? Ridiculous."
"In your eyes, I am useless and cannot teach my people to survey the terrain?"
An Xiaohuan complimented out of habit, without thinking.
"I have absolutely no such intention."
"Your Majesty, you are an expert in both martial arts and strategy, a rare talent in the world, a dignified teacher, and a tireless teacher. I am far behind you."
Gu Yuanqiong's face was filled with anger and a hint of contempt.
"You are not worthy to be compared with this king."
An Xiaohuan lowered his head and felt humbled.
"Yes, I am trying to reach a higher level. I am very scared."
Gu Yuanqiong changed his expression and revealed a sinister smile.
"Lord An, why do you always want to escape from my command?"
"What about my appearance and temperament scares you?"
An Xiaohuan said one thing and meant another, and tried to curry favor with others.
"Your Majesty, you are naturally noble, with the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix; you are magnanimous and have great talents and plans. I admire you with all my heart, respect you sincerely, and have no intention of fleeing."
"But please understand, Your Majesty. Princess Yuexi and I are truly in love. We wish to withdraw from the court and live in seclusion from now on."
He bowed his head to the ground.
"Please grant me your blessing, Your Majesty."
Gu Yuanqiong sneered.
"Oh, true love."
"You are so shameless to say such things."
"I have no relationship with you, why should I help you?"
An Xiaohuan begged earnestly.
"The identity of the informant is clear to the prince."
"Your Highness, please consider that I have never revealed our secrets and have been assisting you wholeheartedly. Please show me mercy and let us go."
Gu Yuanqiong refuted without any hesitation.
"What secrets do you know about our side? How can you tell on us if you know nothing?"
"It is because the king is on high alert. What does it have to do with your loyalty?"
"You are so shameless that you only flatter yourself."
Hearing his arrogant words, An Xiaohuan felt furious.
"Please think twice, Your Majesty. Taking someone's beloved wife is unrighteous and not what a gentleman should do."
"Xi'er, you promised me your life long ago."
Gu Yuanqiong was disrespectful.
"Who has taken your beloved wife? Did I ever say I like her?"
"You have made a judgment based on your random inferences. Now, Lord, is it the behavior of a gentleman to offend a superior?"
An Xiaohuan straightened his back and spoke righteously.
"Your Majesty doesn't like her, so why do you stop me from touching her? Why is it that every time you mention her, every word you say is full of love?"
"I have no intention of exposing His Majesty's true feelings. I just want to advise His Majesty not to indulge in such wishful thinking."
"You have heard what Xi'er said. She said she doesn't know you at all."
"How can your Highness bear to separate lovers? Xi'er is mine."
Gu Yuanqiong looked as majestic as an eagle, and his ruthlessness was self-evident.
"I haven't taught you a lesson for a while, so you get carried away, don't you?"
"It seems that Lord An hasn't suffered enough."
Thinking that he had to work for Xier and could not get hurt, and could not be tripped up by King Li, An Xiaohuan endured the humiliation and admitted defeat.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please spare my life. I know I am wrong."
Gu Yuanqiong was arrogant and ruthless, intimidating everyone.
"You'd better sincerely repent."
"Otherwise, you know my methods well. If you dare to disobey me, I will never let you off easily."
An Xiaohuan responded humbly.
"Yes."
Gu Yuanqiong gave the order.
"I allowed you to return to the capital only to clarify the misunderstanding, not to fulfill your love."
"You have provoked Princess Yuexi for no reason. This is a big mistake."
"Find a chance to ask her out again, and make sure you break up with her completely."
An Xiaohuan pretended to agree.
"I obey."
Gu Yuanqiong reminded coldly.
"Don't play tricks. Your little tricks are no match for me."
An Xiaohuan buried his head.
"I don't dare."
The next day, An Xiaohuan returned to Beijing to visit his relatives and returned home.
His plan worked successfully, and he obtained the emperor's personal belongings through his uncle Ansong.
After receiving An Xiaohuan's letter, Ning Yunxi arrived as promised, and the inn was safe.
The emperor's sample was hard to come by, so Ning Yunxi stored it in the medical space as soon as she got it to avoid losing it accidentally.
"I thought I would have to wait a few days, but I didn't expect you to be so quick in planning."
"Huan Lang, so amazing."
An Xiaohuan smiled sweetly.
"You are so sweet."
"I have already arranged the route of escape. Let's set off immediately."
Ning Yunxi was stunned.
"Huh? So fast?"
"My luggage has not been packed yet."
An Xiaohuan described the situation in a concise and to the point manner.
"The people of King Li should not be underestimated."
"We can only escape successfully if we take them by surprise."
"I'll go buy the things you need with you after we settle down."
"We will leave from the back door of the inn without leaving any trace."
Ning Yunxi agreed without hesitation as usual.
"okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman broke into the room with a nimble body, stood behind Ning Yunxi, and slapped her.
Ning Yunxi fainted immediately.
An Xiaohuan was suddenly startled.
"Xier!"
He reached out and wanted to hug Xier, but was kicked away by the woman.
He took two steps back, stood still, and looked clearly at the person coming.
"Lord Wei?"
He saluted reluctantly.
"I wish you the best, Lord Wei."
Wei Chushuang picked up the princess and let her lie down on the couch.
"The prince is here, Lord An, you don't have to bow to me."
Yan Yu, escorted by Wei Chushuang, Yun Boyu and their respective soldiers, arrived at the inn together.
After Wei Chushuang finished speaking, Yan Yu and others walked into the guest room.
Soon, the guest room was packed with soldiers.
As for the rest of the soldiers, some were guarding the door of the guest rooms, while others were guarding inside and outside the inn, closely protecting the prince's safety.
There were a large number of people and the monarch was present, so An Xiaohuan saluted the highest position.
"Welcome King Dijin to live forever."
Out of concern for her little sister, Yan Yu deliberately sat next to her.
"Flat body."
"Lord An, long time no see."
"Remember the last time we met was at Xinglin Hall in Shengjing?"
An Xiaohuan was patient and flattered to gain favor.
"Yes."
"Your Majesty has an extraordinary memory. I admire you from the bottom of my heart."
Yan Yu was all smiles.
"This king proposed that you be transferred to the guard position, but you sought an imperial decree to be transferred to Beizhaotai."
"Good job."
An Xiaohuan waited with caution.
"In the past, it was not that I disobeyed Yu's order, but that Beizhaotai was in urgent need of help and specifically assigned me to guard the pass."
"Please give me a clear warning, Your Majesty."
Yan Yu has a pleasant appearance and is outstanding in appearance.
"I am praising you, not blaming you. You don't have to rush to explain."
An Xiaohuan agreed to what was said.
"Yes, I am too talkative."
Yan Yu acted very reasonable.
"When you return to Beijing to visit your family, you should spend more time with them. I have come to pick up Yuexi, please do as you please, my dear."
An Xiaohuan was shocked in disbelief.
"what?"
