Chapter 178 Chu Xingluo, Chu Xingluo, Luo Luo! Where are you? Don't scare me, come out quickly
Yingge didn't understand what she was saying and advised her to go back quickly. Xia Taoyuan agreed, but when she turned around, she found Qi Nanfeng standing in the snow.
"Why are you here?" Xia Taoyuan asked.
Qi Nanfeng smiled and walked to the pavilion. "I saw you walking in the snow and thought something happened, so I followed you."
"What a heavy snow! It's only November and it's snowing so heavily. Next year will definitely be a year of bumper harvest." Xia Taoyuan sighed.
"Princess, it's too cold, let's go back!" Yingge advised. The others never changed their names.
"Yes, it's too cold, let's go back!" Qi Nanfeng also said, finally seeing her.
The three were about to leave when they heard the sound of horse hooves, and then a group of guards from the palace appeared. Ye Linglong and her two guards were in front.
"Xia Taoyuan, you are having an affair with Qi Nanfeng. I am here to arrest you on the orders of the Emperor." Ye Linglong said proudly.
"You're talking nonsense! There is nothing innocent between the princess and Master Qi, what nonsense are you talking about!" Yingge was annoyed.
Xia Taoyuan knew what was going on without having to think. It must be that Ye Linglong's lackeys followed her secretly, and when they found out that Qi Nanfeng was also there, they reported it to the emperor.
"Xia Taoyuan, do you know your crime? As the prince's person, you have seduced wild men time and again. Where do you put the prince? Captain Jiang, what did the emperor say?" Ye Linglong looked at the captain of the guard, Jiang Hu.
"Qi Nanfeng, the emperor has warned you that if you continue to be with Xia Cairen, he will expel you from North Vietnam. Will you surrender or commit suicide?" Jiang Hu said loudly.
"Ye Linglong, you are so shameless! Captain Guard Jiang, there is nothing between Qi Nanfeng and me, Yingge can testify to this!" Xia Taoyuan was extremely angry.
"The emperor said that either you take away Qi Nanfeng's men or his body. Talented Lady Xia, I advise you to stay away from him." Jiang Hu said.
Xia Taoyuan was shocked. It seemed that the emperor was not going to let Qi Nanfeng go. Seeing that the guards raised their bows and arrows, Xia Taoyuan rushed to Qi Nanfeng's chest and blocked him. She said in a very low voice: "Why are you still standing there? Run away!"
Qi Nanfeng's lips curled up into a smile. This woman was protecting him in this situation, which made him very happy.
After Ye Linglong left, Eunuch Liu felt like something had happened. After thinking about it, he decided to inform Chu Xingluo. While the emperor was taking a nap, he went to the Hanlin Academy and found Chu Xingluo who was studying with the university scholar, and told him about Ye Linglong's visit.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xingluo hurried to the prime minister's residence with Long Yanqingyun.
In the Xiangfu Garden, the captain of the guards, Jiang Hu, was persuading Xia Taoyuan to leave.
"Mr. Xia, swords and knives have no eyes. Please leave the pavilion immediately." Jiang Hu said.
Yingge stamped her feet anxiously: "Princess, let's leave!"
"Yingge, go away and don't worry about me. The emperor is determined to kill Qi Nanfeng, and I can't let him die because of me!" Xia Taoyuan was firm.
"Oh, Xia Cairen is really deeply in love with Qi Nanfeng. Why, you don't want him to die?" Ye Linglong laughed.
"Whether I'm willing to leave or not is none of your business!" Xia Taoyuan was just thinking about delaying time. She wanted Qi Nanfeng to find a chance to escape.
"I do feel pity. It's a pity that the prince is still so good to you, but he doesn't know that you have someone else in your heart!" Ye Linglong deliberately angered Xia Taoyuan.
"Stop trying to sow discord here. My feelings for Chu Xingluo are evident to all. Qi Nanfeng has helped me time and time again, and even saved my life many times. I can't watch him die because of me. If you want to kill someone, kill me first!" Xia Taoyuan said sternly.
Qi Nanfeng felt a little sad after hearing this. She was just repaying a favor to him.
"Why waste time talking to her? Shoot!" Ye Linglong screamed.
Seeing an arrow shot at him, Qi Nanfeng was startled. He couldn't let Xia Taoyuan get hurt! He embraced Xia Taoyuan and turned around. Unexpectedly, the guards shot more than a dozen arrows in a row. Yingge also drew out his sword to block the arrows. Even so, an arrow still hit Qi Nanfeng's abdomen. In an instant, blood flowed all over the ground, dyeing the snow under his feet red. Seeing this, Xia Taoyuan cried and said, "Are you stupid? Why didn't you run away when I told you to?"
Afraid that the guards would shoot arrows again, she stepped forward and blocked Qi Nanfeng again.
"Haha, I didn't expect that Talented Xia would reveal her true feelings!" Ye Linglong smiled and was about to walk into the pavilion. Xia Taoyuan was afraid that she would hurt Qi Nanfeng, so she stood in front of her.
Ye Linglong pretended to walk towards Xia Taoyuan, but suddenly shouted, "Shoot!" She thought it would be best to shoot Xia Taoyuan to death in the chaos, so that she would have nothing to worry about.
Upon hearing this, Xia Taoyuan opened her arms to protect Qi Nanfeng. Just as she touched Qi Nanfeng's body, she suddenly felt dizzy.
Before the guards could release their arrows, they heard a roar: "Stop!" Chu Xingluo arrived.
When Yingge saw Chu Xingluo arrived, she hurriedly turned around to look at Xia Taoyuan, but when she turned around, she was stunned. How come the two people who were there just now suddenly disappeared?
Ye Linglong was also confused, "What happened? How did he disappear out of thin air?"
There was only a pool of blood where Xia Taoyuan and Qi Nanfeng had stood just now. The blood looked bright red against the backdrop of the snow!
Chu Xingluo rushed over and shouted, "Taotao!" But there was no trace of Xia Taoyuan in the pavilion.
"Your Highness, the princess, the princess was here just now, but somehow, she suddenly disappeared." Yingge could hardly speak clearly.
Chu Xingluo's head buzzed and he roared, "Find it! Find it for me! Taotao, Taotao, don't scare me!" He even started crying when he said the last part.
The scene he feared the most happened. His Taotao suddenly appeared and then suddenly left. But he didn't believe it. He searched the entire garden and found nothing. Yingge went to Yingyuan again. Long Yanqingyun searched every room in the Xiangfu and found nothing. The guards also searched and found nothing.
The snow was getting heavier. Chu Xingluo returned to Xiyun Pavilion. He stared blankly at the bloodstains on the ground. He actually knew that Taotao had really disappeared, because there were some messy footprints on the bloodstains, but not anywhere else. His Taotao had been in Xiyun Pavilion when he came, and when he left, he was also in Xiyun Pavilion.
When Xia Taoyuan woke up, the snow was still falling. She felt bone-chilling cold. She looked up and found that no one was there. She looked again. Where was this? This was not the Xiangfu Garden. There was no courtyard wall, only a field. She looked into the distance. That was Qinglong Mountain! The mountain next to her home! She looked up again. Yes, this was Xiyun Pavilion.
She was surprised. She was back? She took a step forward and stepped on something. She dug through the snow and found a torn messenger bag. She picked it up and opened it. It was her bag. Her phone, keys, tissues, etc. were all there. Because there were compartments and the bag was made of leather, everything inside was intact.
Xia Taoyuan was stunned. She was really back, but where was Chu Xingluo? She clearly heard someone shouting "Stop!" It was Chu Xingluo's voice. Was it a dream? Those were the people in the dream? But everything was so real! She looked at herself. It was not a dream. She was still wearing the clothes of North Vietnam!
Just as she was shocked, she heard a rustling sound of footsteps. She turned around suddenly and found Qi Nanfeng covering his wound and looking at her, "What is this place? How did we suddenly get here?"
Xia Taoyuan's head buzzed. Not only did she come back, but Qi Nanfeng also came back with her.
She couldn't accept it, and she couldn't accept it. Her emotions suddenly got out of control, and she shouted, "Chu Xingluo, Chu Xingluo, Luo Luo! Where are you? Don't scare me, come out quickly!"
