Chapter 705: Silly Little Girl
Chapter 705: Silly Little Girl
Princess Mu Fei Xin understood what Prince Yang Lu wanted her to do. She turned to look at these ladies and waved her hand, indicating for them to start moving. It would be better for them not to make the scene any bigger.
At this time, the girl who previously asked whether there was a smell or not was dumbfounded. She naturally had been tasked by Princess Hu to divert everyone's attention to the side room.
But the person inside was supposed to be Nan Hua.
How could this happen…?
But she was not brave enough to utter this out and could only follow the crowd back to the courtyard. These girls were all trying to keep a stiff expression, but they clearly whispered to each other secretly.
It was impossible for them not to that when such an explosive news appeared right in front of them.
Empress Dowager Yan asked the servants to shake Princess Hu awake. She was clearly still being delirious and tried to get close to Shangguan Yu as if he was her lifeline. This image of hers was really…
"Tell everyone to shut their mouth."
"Yes, Your Highness."
At the side, Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua also followed the crowd. They didn't look out of the place at all as if they had always been around.
"By today, there wouldn't be anyone who didn't know about this matter." Long Qian Xing looked at the young lady beside him and smiled helplessly. "Silly little girl."
Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing then lowered her eyes. It was not her intention to make her look stupid in front of him. He just caught her at the unfortunate time when she clearly planned on doing everything alone.
…
<*Around half an hour before*>
Nan Hua followed the servant whom Princess Hu arranged to bring her away. Looking at the direction where the servant led her, Nan Hua could guess that Princess Hu was planning on using those girls as the 'eyewitness' to the 'affair.'
Just as she was about to distract the servant, someone had already pulled that servant and knocked her out.
"Silly little girl."
Hearing the familiar voice and sensing the sandalwood smell, Nan Hua raised her head. A familiar figure was standing not far from her, looking at her helplessly. "Didn't I tell you not to follow bad people around?"
Nan Hua blinked her eyes.
Why did it sound like Long Qian Xing was speaking to a little kid who didn't know the world?
"I'm not planning to follow her, Brother Long," Nan Hua complained in her soft voice.
Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows and looked at the bottle in Nan Hua's hand. Alright, he could guess that she was planning to distract the servant and knocked her out with the poison in her hand. Since Long Qian Xing knew Nan Hua's capabilities in medicine, he knew that it was not impossible.
Still, looking at her following the servant like a silly little girl made him unable to restrain himself and stepped up.
"Come here."
Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing then walked towards him slowly. She was stunned when Long Qian Xing reached out to take the bottle of the poison she had prepared from her.
"Brother Long. It'll only knock her out."
"This one is not that useful for her." Long Qian Xing played with the bottle in his hand. His dark eyes were looking at the young girl before him tenderly. "Do you have any that can cause hallucination?"
"I do."
In fact, it was quite easy to make one that caused hallucination since the materials were readily available. Nan Hua reached to her sleeve and took another bottle.
Seeing that, Long Qian Xing's lips twitched a bit and silently wondered just how many items Nan Hua was hiding under her wide sleeve. It seemed that the sleeve was very useful for her to keep so many items without anyone knowing.
"Good girl, leave this to me."
"I can do it myself, Brother Long," Nan Hua complained once more.
Long Qian Xing chuckled. "I know, but I want to be the one to take care of this mess for you. Will you allow me, Hua'er?"
His low and seductive voice traveled to Nan Hua's ear as he leaned closer. His dark eyes stared straight at the young girl in front of her and at such a close distance, it was possible for her to see her own reflection in his eyes.
This distance… was somewhat awkward.
Nan Hua pursed her lips slightly. "It will be troublesome for you, Brother Long."
"It's not troublesome at all." Long Qian Xing chuckled. "There are a lot of my people here. When I come to your territory later, you can arrange it to help me instead."
Her territory?
At this moment, Nan Hua inexplicably remember the Xia Mountains Range. She hadn't conquered all of the mountain range, but it should be soon. Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing and nodded her head.
"Alright, I'll help Brother Long in my territory later."
Long Qian Xing smiled warmly and waved his hand for his men to drag the fainted maidservant away. There was nothing good with letting that maidservant fainted on the road anyway.
At that time, he would never know that this small deal he made with Nan Hua would actually affect the war in the future. But that was a story of another time and another place.
"No one will be able to touch you in the palace anymore." Long Qian Xing reached out his hand to hold Nan Hua's hand. "I promise."
"Mhm."
Seeing the young girl being so obedient, Long Qian Xing sighed internally. Why did he feel that his little girl was really so silly? What should he do if she was being too silly and followed bad people in the future?
He wanted to watch her over carefully so that she would not be caught by any bad people.
"Silly little girl."
