Chapter four hundred and thirty-two, the sassy boy
"Master Xiao."
The shopkeeper bowed down to salute cautiously, and Xiao Yikai walked in with brisk steps and bowed his hand to Shangguan Wan Ning.
"Please step aside, I want to have a good chat with the princess."
The shopkeeper immediately led the people out.
"Master Xiao, do you know who I am?"
"Of course. Princess Anning, who was personally granted the title by the late emperor, is the apple of the eye of the prime minister."
Shangguan Wan Ning looked at Xiao Yikai.
The appearance of this young master was beyond Shangguan Wan Ning's expectation.
She originally thought that Xiao Yikai was a playboy with no knowledge and skills, and his appearance and temperament must be exaggerated, and she couldn't bear to look at him.
Unexpectedly, he seemed to be polite.
"Since Mr. Xiao knows my identity, he shouldn't come."
"Why?"
"It's already dusk, and there are differences between men and women. Mr. Xiao can't help but understand this truth."
After hearing this, Xiao Yikai not only had no intention of leaving, but calmly sat down opposite Shangguan Wan Ning.
"Princess Princess Jinzhiyuye has a noble status. Even if you are away from home, you cannot wrong yourself. Living in this small inn, mixed with people, may be detrimental to your reputation."
Xiao Yikai closed his folding fan and moved forward. "So, I have prepared the sedan chair and asked the princess to move it and live in the Zhonglie Marquis Mansion. First, I will ensure your safety; secondly..."
Xiao Yikai's voice became softer and his eyebrows raised slightly. "I also want to be friends with the princess."
Shangguan Wan Ning picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and smiled contemptuously.
"I'm sorry, I have no intention of making friends. Mr. Xiao, it's getting late, you'd better please come back."
Shangguan Wan Ning originally thought Xiao Yikai would be entangled, but she didn't expect him to stand up easily.
But when he reached the door, he stopped again and tapped his head with the folding fan.
"Look at my memory... Princess, I forgot to tell you that your guards will not be back tonight. We are all drinking in my house. Also... you want to find Mr. Liu, I
I can help you find it.”
Shangguan Wan Ning's heart skipped a beat.
She didn't expect that she still underestimated the power of the Xiao family here.
Xiao Yikai was clearly threatening her with the life of her bodyguard.
Even Lutong heard it.
Shangguan Wan Ning sneered secretly and said: "I appreciate Mr. Xiao's kindness. Since my guards are drinking in your house, let them drink. However, before I wake up tomorrow morning, I hope they have all
I'm back. Otherwise..."
Shangguan Wan Ning stood up, walked in front of Xiao Yikai, and snorted contemptuously.
"It's not that I have no one available. It's just that if I alert my father to come and take me back in person, I'm afraid...it will waste people and money. Mr. Xiao, it's better to think twice."
Xiao Yikai's smile gradually solidified on his face.
He didn't expect that a girl from Shangguan Wanning would have such courage and completely ignore his arrangements.
"Lu Tong, see you off."
"Master Xiao, please." Lu Tong stood in front of Xiao Yikai, blocking his view of Shangguan Wan Ning.
After Xiao Yikai left, Lu Tong quickly closed the door.
"Miss, I think this guy obviously has bad intentions. Now there is no one around you who can control you. Should we...should we leave here now?"
Shangguan Wan Ning thought for a long time and finally shook her head.
"If I leave like this, I'm afraid that the guards accompanying me will be in danger." Shangguan Wan Ning frowned, and for a long time, she walked to the table and wrote a letter.
"Lutong, go out through the back door, find a conspicuous alley, and draw this pattern on the third brick at the entrance of the alley." Shangguan Wanning pointed to the pattern on the envelope, and then said, "And then put this pattern on it."
The letter is buried underneath. Remember, bury it deep."
"Yes." Lutong asked curiously, "Miss, what do you do?"
"Brother Huo has brought the princess back to Wuji Sect. Before he left, he told me that this is the Wuji Sect's contact information in Jianghu. Fellow sects or colleagues will come to help if they see it."
"My slave will go immediately."
After Lu Tong left, Shangguan Wan Ning became restless and paced back and forth in the room.
Suddenly, she saw a dark shadow flashing past the window, and her whole heart twitched.
She stepped back to the bed, took out the dagger from her bag and held it tightly in her hand.
She was a little nervous, and there were beads of sweat on her palms.
The candlelight in the room flickered, jumped a few times and then went out.
Shangguan Wan Ning saw a dark figure rushing toward her. She was about to raise her dagger and stab the shadow when the door was pushed open.
The person who came kicked the stool towards the black shadow, and the two sides immediately fought and fought.
Shangguan Wan Ning couldn't see the faces of both parties clearly. She only heard a scream in the darkness, and one of them was knocked away by a palm and jumped out of the window.
The remaining figures quickly ran towards Shangguan Wan Ning.
Shangguan Wan Ning clenched her dagger and stabbed the man.
The man grabbed her wrist.
"Ning'er, it's me."
Shangguan Wan Ning was stunned.
This familiar voice...
"Ning'er, don't be afraid, it's me." Mu Jingrui repeated, and then lit the candle with a flick of his finger.
Shangguan Wan Ning finally saw Mu Jingrui's face clearly.
In a daze, tears welled up in her eyes. She threw away the dagger and threw herself into Mu Jingrui's arms.
Mu Jingrui tightened his arms and hugged her tightly.
"Fool, it's okay... don't be afraid!"
Shangguan Wan Ning's body was still trembling slightly, and it took a long time to calm down.
She came out of Mu Jingrui's arms and looked at his face seriously. "Jingrui, why...why are you here?"
"It took a lot of effort for me to ask the emperor for leave, so I rushed to catch up with you. Who knew that when we arrived at Yaowang Valley, the Deer Doctor said that you had never been there at all? You scared me to death, do you know that?"
"Then...how do you know I'm here?"
"I met your guards on the road this afternoon. They escorted the beautiful lady to Beijing. They told me."
With Mu Jingrui by her side, Shangguan Wanning felt much more at ease and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Come, sit down and tell me slowly, what happened?"
Mu Jingrui pulled Shangguan Wan Ning to sit down, and Shangguan Wan Ning explained what happened here in detail.
"Do you want to save those beautiful girls?" Mu Jingrui asked with a frown.
"Of course I want to save him. Moreover, what the Xiao family did is an act of deceiving the emperor. The emperor can definitely arrest Xiao Yikai and hold him accountable."
"That's what it is said. However, the Zhongliehou Mansion has great achievements, and the late emperor obeyed the words of this wet nurse when he was alive. It may not be easy to rescue people from their hands. Unless there is conclusive evidence.
They want people."
"That's right. Capt. Liu and Li Min'er are the witnesses. I asked Li Min'er to return to Beijing first because I also wanted her to state the facts in front of my father."
Mu Jingrui nodded thoughtfully.
"Then I'll take care of the matter with Capt. Liu. But..." Mu Jingrui gently stroked Shangguan Wan Ning's face, "Ning'er, do you have anything else to tell me?"
