Chapter 980: Because No Money
Xuan Hongyu didn’t speak with Ning Shu except on things that had to be discussed.
A fire had broken out in the imperial palace, and it was even at the place where the third prince had been staying. It took a long time to finally put out the fire, but it was discovered that the third prince wasn’t inside. No matter how big the fire was, it couldn’t have burned a person to nothing.
Xuan Xiaotian gave a cold humph. Next to him, Shangguan Qingrou pouted unhappily with an expression of hurt. “Xuan Xiaotian, why won’t you believe that nothing happened between me and Xuan Hongyu? How long are you going to pull a long face around me?”
Xuan Xiaotian rubbed his forehead without saying anything, then turned and left. He sent people to figure out Xuan Hongyu’s current whereabouts.
Xuan Xiaotian felt like Xuan Hongyu bounced around all day like a flea. Another incident occurred after such a short time just because he hadn’t had time to deal with Xuan Hongyu yet. It was seriously such a pain.
As of now, Xuan Xiaotian itched to just capture Xuan Hongyu and break all the bones in his body.
When Xuan Xiaotian sent for people to search, Ning Shu and Xuan Hongyu had already left the capital and were currently sitting on a horse.
“Master, can you lower your head a little? This subordinate can’t see the road in front,” said Ning Shu to Xuan Hongyu who was sitting in front of her.
Xuan Hongyu lowered his body a little bit. “Why must this prince sit in front? And why is there only one horse?”
Ning Shu was holding the reins in one hand and the horse whip with the other as she said, “This subordinate is sitting behind because this subordinate will be able to block attacks for Master if pursuing soldiers attack. The reason why we only have one horse is because this subordinate only had enough to buy one horse.”
Ning Shu really didn’t have money. The money she had used to have the tunnel dug had actually been scraped together. She even stole some things from Xuan Hongyu’s residence and sold them for this.
Xuan Hongyu who was sitting in Ning Shu’s arms: ...
Ning Shu planned to return to the base to see how that child was doing.
Ning Shu felt quite guilty towards the child.
Once they got to the forest, they couldn’t ride the horse anymore and could only proceed by walking.
Xuan Hongyu glanced at Ning Shu. “We’re going to the base?”
Ning Shu nodded.
Although Xuan Hongyu was a prince, he was also very skilled in martial arts. Hence, it was conspicuously easy for him to walk in the forest.
“They’re all dead, so why are you still alive?” asked Xuan Hongyu suddenly.
Ning Shu hugged her sword as she said, “They said that this subordinate has betrayed Master so they didn’t allow this subordinate to participate in that assassination.”
Xuan Hongyu didn’t speak.
Ning Shu was very curious about what had happened between Xuan Hongyu and Shangguan Qingrou. They had disappeared together for so long after all.
“Master, you and Miss Shangguan?” asked Ning Shu.
Xuan Hongyu glanced at Ning Shu, then chuckled darkly. That yellow face paired with this kind of eerie smile seemed extremely sinister.
“Nothing happened between us. I didn’t touch her.” There was smugness and schadenfreude in Xuan Hongyu’s voice.
Ning Shu: ...
If nothing happened, what are you so happy for?
Nutjob.
“This prince told Xuan Xiaotian that there was a birthmark on Shangguan Qingrou’s back,” said Xuan Hongyu with a cold grin.
Ning Shu: Pfff...
Ning Shu looked at Xuan Hongyu strangely. How evil must he be to do something like this?
He was purposefully telling Xuan Xiaotian that something had happened between him and Shangguan Qingrou, that they had already done dat.
However, Shangguan Qingrou felt wrongly accused. Nothing had happened between them at all, so why wouldn’t Xuan Xiaotian believe her?
Whether something had happened or not, who exactly would be able to tell?
