Chapter 40: The Scheme of Shifting Blame 2

  "How about it? Now this face can be considered a perfect match with Nangong Jin's, right?" Nalan Xianuo joked. That stunning beauty had a faint smile on her face, making it impossible for anyone to look away.

  "Wait, put on your mask quickly." Nan Gong Jin said suddenly.

  "Hmm." Nalan Xixi looked at Nan Gongyin with complete incomprehension.

  "I didn't know how to keep you by my side from the start. Now if this face is seen, I don't have the energy to deal with so many people." Nangong Jin's words, like a child's, made Nalan Xinnuo laugh even more brightly, her heart full of emotion.

  "Only yours, Nalan Xiong, in this life and the next, will only be for Nan Gong Zui alone." Although these words were not his usual style, Nalan Xiong couldn't help but reveal them.

  "Nan Gong Jin, it's just you." Nan Gong Jin gazed deeply at Na Lan Xian Nu, then fiercely kissed her. Afterwards, he slowly pulled away from those beautiful red lips. "Don't compete with me today, listen to me obediently." After saying that, he fiercely kissed her again.

  Unexpectedly. Today's Nalan Xianyu didn't resist him at all. In the midst of their kiss, Nan Gongyin's mouth curved up into a triumphant smile.

  In order not to arouse Huang Fu Song's suspicion, Nalan Xianyu and Yuan Yue also started what was called a date. Today's appointment location is the relatively deserted street corner.

  Yuan Yue walked to the meeting place with some weakness, followed by two palace maids behind her. She couldn't even use her lightness skill now that she was a princess too. Having two people following her was very normal, but Yuan Yue found them quite annoying. However, the emperor's orders could not be disobeyed.

  Want to tell Nalan Xinnuo that she and Dugu Han have nothing to do with each other, no need to come here for a trick. But Huangfu Ling was determined not to let her speak, so she had to cooperate with Nalan Xinnuo to continue the play for Huangfu Song.

  Just lost in thought for a moment, she was brought back to reality by the faint sound of footsteps. She suddenly lifted her head and only then realized that she had already walked to the end of the street. Nalan Xianyue was standing at the corner waiting for her.

  Tell her from experience. The person who just flew away from that position is Nalan Xinnuo. Could it be... Nalan Xinnuo secretly meeting with someone? Concealing the doubts in his heart, Yuan Yue walked forward. From now on, he should pay more attention to this dangerous figure, Nalan Xinnuo.

  "You're here." Nalan Xixi said with a faint smile, looking like a real elegant young master. They are now... acting.

  "You're here so early." Although he knew it was impossible to get anything out of Nalan Xinxin's mouth, Yuanqi still wanted to try.

  Nalan Xixi revealed a gentleman's smile. "A gentleman should have arrived first to pay his respects to the lady."

  "How was the date." Yuan Yue abandoned the cliché. It's still most important to end this absurd date as soon as possible.

  "Do you like going for walks? Dates are probably something like this."

  "I don't like it." Yuè Lěng replied coldly.

  "I don't like it either." Nalan Xixi frowned. Why is dating such a troublesome thing? Ah, right. I haven't even gone on a date with Nan Gongjin before. "However, can you not be so cold towards me? Huangfu Song saw it and thought you really disliked me. In the end, it's you who will be unlucky. And to declare in advance, I'm not very willing to interact with you either." Nalan Xixi seemed like she didn't want to lose anywhere.

  Later, the two of them discussed and finally settled on the General's Mansion. The reason was that they could each do their own thing, space out on their own, wait for two hours, and then complete their task. During this time, they didn't need to bother with each other at all. This was simply the best option.

  According to the plan, Nalan Xixi would go to the Silver Ginkgo Tavern every time during the Mid-Autumn Festival and enter a room, then immediately crawl under the bed into a secret passage to meet with Nan Gongyin. This happened about three times. Wan Yue couldn't sit still and reported it to Huangfu Ling.

  "Something has happened, I need to report." Yuèyuè followed behind Huángfǔ Líng and said. While Huángfǔ Líng was standing at the entrance of the training ground, looking from afar at Nàlán Xīnuò's serious expression while drilling troops.

  "Just a simple answer." His gaze remained fixed on the petite figure in the distance. If Huan Yue was standing in front of Huang Fu Ling, he would have seen the almost infatuated look in his eyes.

  "Your Majesty, I think it's best not to trust Nalan Xixi too much." Yuèyuè bowed slightly behind him, his face full of sincerity as he reported.

  "Oh." Huangfu Ling turned around, a look of puzzlement on his face as he gazed at Yuan Yue. Because she mentioned Nalan Xixi, so he had to listen carefully.

  "Subordinates think Nalan Xixi is suspicious."

  "What's suspicious about that?" Huang Fu Ling's voice was neither fast nor slow, as if what Yuan Yue said was just today's weather.

  "Subordinate once felt that Nalan Xianuo was not quite right. Later, secretly followed her several times. Found that she frequently went back and forth to the Silver Ginkgo Tavern. According to subordinate's investigation, the Silver Ginkgo Tavern is currently housing a group of people led by Dugu Han. "Wan Yue reported truthfully about what she had seen. Nalan Xianuo was never a simple person. She also never thought that someone like Nalan Xianuo would so easily help her master just because they told her that the master was her friend. Even if she was drunk and lost her memory, how could someone as clever as Nalan Xianuo believe their words so easily and work hard for the master?"

  Not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of one in ten thousand. The master is her life. She must take good care of it and protect it.

  Huang Pu Ling listened to Ou Yue's words, and couldn't help but pause for a moment. Ou Yue was his trusted aide, her loyalty was beyond doubt. She must have had her reasons for saying so. But Nalan Xianuo... he didn't want to suspect him.

  "I know, I'll send someone to investigate." Huang Fu Ling's heart was like a calm lake that had been thrown a big stone, completely unable to settle down. Without saying goodbye to Nalan Xianuo, he directly left.

  Nalan Xixi, who was training her elite troops, had a faint smile at the corner of her mouth. Her incredible hearing, how could she not have noticed the conversation between those two people? For some time now, I should stop going to the Silver Ginkgo Building.

  "Reported to Your Excellency. The subordinate guarded for a whole night but did not see the shadow of Nalan Xianyu." This is tonight's report.

  "Reported to the master and did not see Nalan Xianyu." This was on the second day.

  On the third day's morning, Nalan Xixi arrived early at Huangfu Ling's palace.

  "It's been a long time since we've had a good talk." Huangfu Ling put down the worries in his heart and faced Nalan Xinnuo, wanting to spend quality time with her. Who knows, maybe heaven would bless him and Nalan Xinnuo would give him back his heart.

  "These past few days have been quite busy." Nalan Xianyu poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and continued, "I snuck into Dugu Han's Silver Ginkgo Tower and made an important discovery."

  "What." Huangfu Ling straightened his back unintentionally. His face was full of concern for this matter.

  "The owner of the Silver Ginkgo Tavern has changed hands. Dugu Han bought it out. It's possible that the Silver Ginkgo Tavern has become their secret base. I don't know if they have any other plans besides kidnapping."

  "They bought the wine tower." Just by being there, they bought the entire wine tower. It's not simple... Although it's such bad news. But Huangfu Ling felt a lot more at ease from the bottom of his heart. Nalan Xianyu didn't betray him and wasn't out of line. She was just helping herself investigate Dugu Han.

  "Hmm. Should we continue observing what they're doing?" Nalan Xixi furrowed her brow, seemingly worried about this matter.

  "Hmm. I'll have someone take a good look at this matter." This matter is not simple, and of course, Huangfu Ling won't underestimate it either.

  "Let me go. I'm most curious about this matter. And my efficiency will definitely be higher than anyone else." Nalan Xianyu said calmly.

  "As expected, you're still the most confident one." Huang Fu Ling smiled somewhat helplessly, but his eyes still held a hint of doting.

  Nalan Xixi raised an eyebrow. "Confidence requires strength. I have that strength."

  "Yes, you are the First General of Lenovo Country. You're going to the most suitable place. However, be careful. Dugu Han is not a small role either." The tone of Huangfu Ling's words unknowingly carried some pampering, like the way a young couple talks. That kind of pampered and compromising language coming from Huangfu Ling's mouth made Nalan Xianuo completely dislike it. Only Nan Gongyin could speak to her in this manner.

  "It's been a year since we last met. My wife is still so good at eating." Nangong Jin smiled and sat down on one side, watching as Nalan Xianyu sat at the table devouring the Thousand Army dish. Her cheeks were stuffed to the brim, looking like she wanted to take another bite.

  Nalan Xixi didn't even bother to lift her head, but still gave Nangong Jin a white eye, and continued to struggle with the food.

  "Aren't you tired of looking at me like that?" Nangong Jin pointed out, surprised that Nalan Xianyu hadn't even lifted his head and was still able to glance at him. Wouldn't his eyes be uncomfortable?

  ...... The only response was Nalan Xixi's chewing and swallowing sounds.

  "It's a good thing this restaurant is all mine, otherwise when collecting the bowls and plates, seeing me eating so much by myself would definitely raise suspicions." Nangong Jin continued to mutter to himself.

  "Where did you come from, a trustworthy person?" Nalan Xixi swallowed the meat in her mouth and asked with a greasy face.

  "They." Nangong Jin's words had just fallen when two people came out from behind the screen. One had a tearful expression, gazing at Nalan Xianyu. The other was trying to conceal his emotions but still looked very excited as he stared at Nalan Xianyu.

  "Princess, I knew you hadn't lost your memory. I knew it was right to unconditionally believe in you." He Xian almost rushed over again, but was pulled back by Huo Zhi. "Princess, you've suffered," Huo Zhi said with excitement in his eyes.

  Nalan Xixi felt comforted from the bottom of her heart. There was such a guy who had always believed in her, and had always been by her side with Nan Gongyin.

  However, Nalan Xianyu's expression remained cold and calm. He then glanced at Nan Gongyin and glared at him fiercely. "How could you tell me that there were still two people in my room? Were you intentionally letting them see me eating like a wolf?"

  "Princess, it's alright. We're already used to it. We won't laugh at you." He Xian responded foolishly, thinking that he was saying something very understanding.

  "Hehe, you also know that your eating habits are wolf-like." Nangong Jin chuckled from the side. He was pounced on by Nalan Xianyu and severely retaliated against.

  He smiled faintly, knowing that only in front of the princess had he ever seen his master's happiest, most joyful and most genuine side. He hoped that his two favorite people, their two masters, could forever fight side by side and be together forever.
