Chapter 423: Grandfather~ Wait for Miao Er~

"The Great Prince wants to hide you away; you can only please him, understand?" Xige looked at the woman before him, his eyes flickering slightly, those small hands threading through his hair—every move she made stimulated his nerves.

This is the woman sent by her mother's clan, a feeling beyond comparison.

He even felt his heart pounding, a thumping sound constantly striking his throat, as if it wanted to jump out of his throat.

"Miao Er, you belong to Grandfather……" She did not call the Great Prince, but called out "Grandfather……"

Xige's hand rubbed her waist for a moment; Jiang Yunchu's eyes instantly turned cold, but then they changed, and she eased her emotions.

The revolution is not yet successful, comrades still need to work hard; all-purpose glue, you fucking, how can you be this slow!

She couldn't help wanting to curse in the street!

Finally……

In her mind, a voice appeared, "Adhesion complete."

She let out a breath, slowly moving her hand back to Xige's chest, then gently pushing him away a little, she stood up from his leg and slowly walked to the side.

"Grandfather~ Miao Er wants to change clothes, Grandfather don't you want to see Miao Er at her most beautiful?" Her coquettish voice sounded like she was acting spoiled, and also……

Xige even thought of her beneath him, using that voice to shout, "Don't……"

"Go ahead."

This woman, he feared he had frightened her, his heart softened a bit.

Jiang Yunchu let out a breath, also roughly guessing that Xige didn't have many women, otherwise he wouldn't know so little……

She pushed open the door, but was stopped by two guards; Jiang Yunchu turned her head, "Grandfather~"

Xige drank a cup of wine, looked at those two people, "Let her go."

"Yes."

Those two people confirmed the Great Prince's safety before raising the swords in their hands.

Jiang Yunchu also let out a breath; fortunately, she hadn't chosen to knock Xige unconscious directly, otherwise, without her inner strength, she would likely have been buried with him.

She didn't leave, but turned back to look at Xige, "Grandfather~ Wait for Miao Er~"

That phrase with three tonal shifts, I don't know how others feel, but she felt like she was about to vomit.

Xige didn't answer her, but his gaze remained fixed on her.

Jiang Yunchu's delicate white feet stepped on the floor without making a sound, but the bell on her ankle drew Xige's gaze.

Ning Chengyan had long been unable to restrain himself, tightly clenching his fists, the veins on his body bulging; he wanted to rush in and take her away.

But he also feared disrupting her plan; in his mind, reason and his own selfishness kept clashing, and he stared fixedly at that room.

"Sir, shall we go?"

Those two subordinates didn't know what was wrong with the general today; mainly, the general was acting unusually abnormal—what had happened?

Could it be that the general really took a liking to Yun Miao Er?

"Sir, you must not act impulsively; there are countless beautiful women, why cling to this one?"

"Exactly, sir, think of the lady at home—you must not act impulsively!"

The two subordinates were about to cry; they never expected the general to come to a brothel once and even take a liking to someone.

If something went wrong, how would they explain it?

Say they brought the general to drink flower wine? Then the general couldn't control himself? Exposing his identity and competing with the Great Prince for a woman?

Doomed!

They didn't even dare to think that a lifetime of fame—let alone theirs, even the general's—could not be preserved.

"I'm completely sober; you guys need to withdraw quickly, don't go back to the previous courtyard, pull up all the stakes in our west wing that need to be pulled—we must withdraw tonight." He didn't know what the Young Princess Consort intended to do, but according to his understanding of her, whatever she did would definitely be a major matter.

After Xige investigated further, how long these people could survive was uncertain.

"Ah? We barely managed to set up this layout……" One person hesitated a bit.

Meanwhile, another person looked toward the general, "Any big move?"

Ning Chengyan shook his head, "I'm not sure, but…… let's withdraw first."

"Yes." That person pulled the one who still wanted to speak and withdrew quickly.

"Don't pull me, sir, you're clearly irrational." That person couldn't help complaining.

"Irrational? When has the sir ever been irrational? Even if a dagger were plunged into his belly, he wouldn't move an inch—do you think the sir has been feigning death all these years?"

If one hadn't truly seen him dead, who could believe he was dead?

He is the youthful war god of Da Ning, after all—is he irrational?

"Action!" That person said, then immediately issued the order.

"Yes."

The two people split up to act, but Ning Chengyan didn't leave; he waited, waiting to see what the Young Princess Consort would actually do.

And her inner strength—what backup did she have?

At that moment, he heard the bell, looked up, and saw a woman in all-black gauze clothing swaying as she came out, passing through the door in front of his room.

He slowly set down his teacup, and the tension in his heart suddenly eased.

After waiting a moment, he slipped out of the private booth, then followed the sound of the bell, but the bell's sound soon faded; Ning Chengyan furrowed his brow, hurried forward a few steps, and saw an open window……

But the person was already gone; Ning Chengyan leapt down, then followed the lantern's light to search for the silhouette of the all-black-clad figure.

Jiang Yunchu walked a few steps, still feeling someone behind her; she wound through several alleys, but that person never shook off.

She hid at the end of an intersection, "No way out?"

Then she darted behind the wall, gripping a short dagger; the Chixiao and Red Whip that symbolized her identity couldn't be drawn, and now without inner strength, what weapon she used wasn't that important.

Ning Chengyan pursued to this intersection, a dead end—but where was the person?

He could feel the breathing nearby, and he stepped closer……

Jiang Yunchu felt she heard those faint footsteps, her palms sweating; if Xige caught her and dragged her back, she would likely be doomed.

It's mainly...

With General Chiang's poison, there's no hope of having the medicinal guide anymore.

But would Xi Ge come all the way here just for a woman he'd just met? Or could it be someone else? Did I draw attention and then develop lust?

Many thoughts flashed through my mind one by one; hearing the footsteps draw nearer and nearer, one hand clenched the dagger while the other gripped a packet of poison powder.

Just then, One Voice shouted, "The Great Prince has ordered: we must capture that woman, cannot let her escape."

"Go over there to check, you go over there, you come with me." One person arranged it, and soon footsteps came from the alley entrance.

Now they are Xi Ge's people; but just now, whose side was that person on?

Jiang Yunchu let out a breath of relief; as long as they aren't Xi Ge's people, there's still room to maneuver; if worse comes to worst, I'll just kill them.
