Prince Pampers the Escaping Consort

Nangong Xiao was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe as she looked at the duo in it with a deadpan expression.

Suddenly, he opened the cell door and walked straight in.

Liu Zhixue was stunned for a few seconds, then kneeled on the ground and explained, "Your Majesty, I just want to eliminate the harm for the Southern Water Country."

This matter had happened too suddenly, causing Liu Zhixue to panic. In this sort of situation, she could only come up with this crappy excuse.

Nangong Xiao glanced at Liu Zhixue and repeated, "Eliminate harm for the people?"

"That's right. Didn't the emperor also know that Princess Lin was a spy from the Eastern Mirror Kingdom?" Liu Zhixue continued to explain endlessly.

"Oh, traitor? Who told you? " Nangong Xiao frowned and asked coldly.

Liu Zhixue was shocked, as she did not understand the meaning behind Nangong Xiao's words.

Yan Xiaoxi was a spy sent by the Dongjing Country, wasn't that well-known?

"This …" Didn't the entire Southern Water Country know about it? " Liu Zhixue did not know why, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was fishy.

The whole thing seemed simple enough, but it was like a huge spider's web, all set up and waiting for the target to fall in.

This thought merely flashed through Liu Zhixue's mind, and was quickly rejected by her.

She believed in her father's ability. He was much more cautious in his actions than she was. He definitely wouldn't let anyone catch him red-handed.

However, even if it was someone who was careful and prudent, when victory was in their hands, there would be moments of carelessness.

"Miss Liu, do you know the state law of the Southern Water? Do you want to pay for the murder with your own life?" Nangong Xiao's expression was extremely serious, so cold that it caused chills to run down one's spine.

Liu Zhixue trembled abruptly. She had never expected such a scene. She forcefully pulled out a smile and replied, "Your Majesty has misunderstood me. This humble woman is only joking with Princess Lin."

"A joke." Clearly, this reason was not enough to convince Nangong Xiao.

However, Nangong Xiao was temporarily not going to pursue the matter.

Because this was a critical moment, and they didn't want to cause any more trouble.

"Men, bring Miss Liu to the Flameless Palace and lock her up. Without my order, no one is allowed to approach her." Immediately after he gave the order, someone entered.

Flowerless Palace?

Liu Zhixue searched through her mind for any memories regarding this name. These three words were so familiar that she was momentarily unable to recall them.

Fortunately, the Emperor did not kill her.

As long as dad returned in triumph, she would definitely be fine, Liu Zhixue consoled herself in her heart.

"Pull it down."

"Yes." The two guards firmly grabbed Liu Zhixue's arm and brought her away.

Halfway to the Flower Palace, Liu Zhixue finally remembered what kind of place the Flower Palace was.

That place was the Cold Palace, and she was actually locked in there.

I heard that the imperial concubines that had committed a great sin were all locked up there. As long as you enter that place, you can forget about coming out for the rest of your life.

"No, Your Majesty." Liu Zhixue struggled with all her might and refused to move forward no matter what she said.

The imperial bodyguards could not care so much. Even though they knew Liu Zhixue's identity, they still forcefully pulled her away.

How could the woman of a general be comparable to the Emperor's orders?

Just like this, Liu Zhixue was locked in the cold palace.

On the other side, in the dungeon, Yan Xiaoxi, who had escaped danger, finally let her guard down.

Nangong Xiao helped Yan Xiaoxi up and sat her down on the edge of the bed. She asked, "Xi Er, is something the matter?"

"Father, Xi Er is fine, it's just that Miss Liu drugged me, my entire body is weak." As she spoke, Yan Xiaoxi did not stop her hands from moving as she continued to rummage through her body for medicine bottles.

Finally, after tossing and turning for a long time, Yan Xiaoxi finally found the antidote. She took the bottle out of her body, opened its cap, and brought it up to her nose, sniffing it.

Suddenly, a clear stream of Dao Seeking energy entered her nose.

Nangong Xiao only watched silently without a single movement.

After taking in the antidote, Yan Xiaoxi was able to move very quickly. She tried to put her legs on the ground, but was already able to stand up. She felt much more energetic, as the medicinal properties of her body were removed.

"You sure are bold. Why didn't you send a guard to inform us earlier?" The rebuke in Nangong Xiao's words did not reveal any hint of concern.

Yan Xiaoxi intimately held onto Nangong Lin's arm and replied, "Xi'er thought that Miss Liu wouldn't do anything to me, but who knew that she actually used medicine on me."

This was something that Yan Xiaoxi had never expected.

Otherwise, with Liu Zhixue's ability, how could she be a match for her? There was no need for her to alarm Nangong Xiao.

"How am I supposed to explain this to Lin'er if anything happens to you?"

"Father, isn't Xi'er alright now? "Can you keep this a secret?" Yan Xiaoxi clasped her hands together as she looked expectantly at Nangong Xiao.

Nangong Xiao was stunned and a dazed look appeared on her face. Once again, she overlapped the face of Yan Xiaoxi with the face of the person in her heart. She was really too similar to her.

After a while, he solemnly said to Yan Xiaoxi, "Next time."

"Imperial Father is too great, besides little Lin Lin, Xi'er loves you the most." Yan Xiaoxi jumped with excitement as her smile was so radiant.

Nangong Xiao smiled faintly. She seemed to understand why her son would like me and do so many abnormal things for her.

This woman was so different from the masses.

Naive, happy, but also clever. It simply combined the strengths of others. The longer he spent with her, the more attracted he would be to her charm.

However, there was one thing that Nangong Xiao was worried about.

Hopefully, she had nothing to do with the Celestial Spirit Island.

"How's the situation with Little Linlin?" After leaving Nangong Lin for just a short while, Yan Xiaoxi had started to miss her. This time around, she finally understood the meaning of not seeing her for a day.

Nangong Xiao could tell the longing in Yan Xiaoxi's eyes with a glance. She answered, "Everything is progressing according to plan."

"Great." As long as she completed this matter, she would soon be able to meet with Little Linlin.

"Father, Xi`er is fine here. You can leave first, so as to not arouse suspicion." Yan Xiaoxi did not wish for all that they had meticulously planned out to fail because of her.

Nangong Xiao nodded her head in gratification. She pointed to the food she had brought over and said, "It's all hot. Eat it while it's hot."

"Wow, royal father treats Xi'er so well." When Yan Xiaoxi heard this, she immediately started eating. Her eyes seemed as if they were about to pop out from their sockets.

Nangong Xiao smiled. She had long experienced Yan Xiaoxi's gluttonous nature and was not the least bit surprised by her actions.

Nangong Lin had repeatedly ordered her to eat this food. Regardless of the circumstances, she could not let Yan Xiaoxi starve to death. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thus, despite her nervousness, Nangong Xiao ordered someone to prepare some food for Yan Xiaoxi.

As for when Nangong Xiao left the prison, she did not have the luxury of time to care about that at all. All she knew was that during this meal, she had eaten her fill and had a good night's sleep.
