[Wow, Host, your predictive abilities are really impressive. Very strong.]
Yan Luo raised her eyebrows, about to continue talking to Little Pink, when suddenly everything in front of her seemed to blur.
“But things will be resolved quickly, Brother will take care of it. Luoluo, be a good girl and take a nap? Just take a nap, and you’ll be home, okay?”
In any case, it was obvious that Yan Luo couldn’t avoid sleeping even if she didn’t want to. Before passing out, Yan Luo had only one thought in her mind : “Little Pink, can’t there be a normal person in this dimension?!!”
However, this questioning had not received an answer, and Yan Luo fell into a deep sleep, collapsing into Yan Jiang’s arms.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire palace became even more oppressive and terrifying.
The former Empress, who was ignored, had already been controlled by Xiuyin’s people. Currently, Xiuyin was holding a sword in his hand. The several black-haired girls who were originally used as shields were pale and continuously retreated, having never seen such a scene before.
No matter how pitiful they appeared, it did not earn any sympathy from the person in front of them.
Xiuyin’s gaze remained on Yan Luo, who had fallen into a deep sleep, and he chuckled lightly. “I wondered who had such courage and ability, helping this half-crippled person escape and then return. Turns out it’s you.”
“You knew already?” Yan Jiang raised his eyebrows slightly, somewhat surprised by the clear anticipation of their actions.
After all, being an unloved prince, Xiuyin couldn’t have received much attention from the court tutors. Moreover, at such a young age, Yan Jiang hadn’t expected hiim to have such meticulous calculation.
A trace of wariness flashed in Yan Jiang’s eyes, and he held Yan Luo horizontally, smiling gently as he spoke, “Actually, I just wanted to bring back a little kid who doesn’t care about her family. I’ve already helped you send back the traitors, so how about…”
Although their country was rapidly developing and militarily strong, when facing the most powerful Empire, they still needed to carefully consider their options.
But at this moment, Yan Jiang believed he had the negotiating capital to deal with Xiuyin. After all, he just wanted to bring Yan Luo back. They could just negotiate some terms later, and the matter would be over.
After all, if the two countries really confronted each other, there would be consequences for both sides
However, Yan Jiang completely underestimated Xiuyin’s unpredictable moves.
“Bring back a little kid who doesn’t care about her family?” Xiuyin spoke, steadily approaching Yan Jiang. His eyes were slightly lowered, making it difficult for Yan Jiang to discern his emotions.
Seeing Xiuyin getting closer, Yan Jiang felt that something was amiss and took a step back.
However, his speed while holding someone in his arms was much slower than Xiuyin, who had concealed his abilities all along. The sword Xiuyin casually held left a trail of afterimages and directly pinned into Yan Jiang’s shoulder. Although Yan Jiang had desperately retreated, a deep mark was still left on his shoulder.
His hand that was holding Yan Luo was unsteady. When Yan Jiang regained his senses, the little girl in his arms had already fallen into the arms of the person opposite.
“You…”
Before Yan Jiang could speak, he saw Xiuyin’s expression suddenly darken.
“Summon a doctor, quickly!” He spoke with a hint of panic, looking up. The azure light under the golden strands seemed fierce, with a bit of gritted teeth, “Capture him for me.”
And at this moment, Yan Jiang’s gaze fell on Yan Luo’s face in Xiuyin’s arms. He saw Yan Luo furrow her brows slightly, her face frighteningly pale.
