In fact, Xiao Yuan didn't explicitly help Xu Nuo. Most of the things he helped her did without her knowledge. [No pop-up novel website]
Xu Nuo had a bad reputation in Suzhou, so Xiao Yuan put a lot of thought into it, and later even spent a lot of money to have storytellers make up stories, so that Xu Nuo's reputation as a poisonous mother could be dissipated in the shortest possible time.
Xu Xu is still puzzled about this matter, but she doesn't know that Xiao Yuan did it secretly.
Xu Qian contacted people from the Du family to destroy Xu Nuo's innocence. After getting the news, Xiao Yuan put down what he was doing and went to the Du family's yard full of peonies. Pretending to play chess with Xu Nuo, at the same time he threw Du Dalang, who had evil intentions towards her, into a tribute bucket.
While doing this, Xiao Yuan ruined a big business of Zhu Shang, and also paid a lot of money to compensate Zhu Shang.
Xu Nuo knew nothing about the matter and only thought that Xu Gucheng had resolved the dispute with the Du family.
The Wang family caused trouble in the Xu family's tea. Xiao Yuan was seriously injured and had to accompany Xu Nuo to visit the Wang family at night. After returning home, he had a high fever. Without Ji Xuan's superb medical skills, he would have died long ago.
Xu Nuo was even more unaware of the fact that Xiao Yuan almost died.
In the darkness, Xiao Yuan's face did not have the indifference and seriousness that he usually showed towards the dead men around him, nor did he have the typical look of not doing his job in front of me. Instead, there was a trace of caution, thinking that no matter how cold the stone was, he would have to keep it warm, and shrugged. He said: "Of course not, but can you get out?"
The palace is by no means a place where you can enter and leave whenever you want.
Xunuo breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Xiao Yuan's answer. Xiao Yuan's presence here had nothing to do with Concubine Liu Defi, and then raised his chin towards the high wall beside him. Said: "Since you can come in, I can naturally go out."
"Xu Liu, how can you be so confident? It took me many years to find this road, and I had to rely on my martial arts. When you enter the palace for the first time, how are you going to go? There are patrols everywhere. If you are not careful, your life will be But it’s hard to guarantee.”
Xiao Yuan sincerely dissuaded Xu Nuo and didn't want her to take this risk.
You must know that people who climb over the wall in the palace have a low chance of being detained, because most of them will be executed on the spot.
Except for assassins. In fact, no one would climb over the wall for no reason.
"My level of caution is no less than yours." Xu Nuo replied seriously, but in his heart he was thinking about whether he could let Xiao Yuan take her out the way he said.
Xiao Yuan seemed to see through Xu Nuo's thoughts and chuckled: "Don't even think about letting me take you that way."
"I don't want to, don't want to. Let's say goodbye and don't stop me." Xu Nuo didn't really have any confidence in her heart. After all, she was new here, even though she had a good sense of direction. But it’s so normal to get sidetracked in such a dark and complicated place.
But. It is absolutely impossible for her to sit back and wait to be used by Concubine Liu Defi.
Seeing that Xu Nuo refused to listen, Xiao Yuan took out his trump card and whispered: "If you don't talk about other things, what will the Xu family do? Will the entire Xu family be put in danger just for him?"
If someone discovers that Xu Nuo intends to break out of the palace, the Xu family will undoubtedly fall into quagmire and may become cannon fodder in the battle for succession.
"You know?" There was a buzz in Xu Nuo's head. I asked reflexively.
She didn't expect Xiao Yuan to say the word "him". Could it be that Xiao Yuan also knew about Fang Jing's existence?
Since Concubine Liu Defi knows. Xiao Yuan is hers, so it’s not surprising to know that Xiao Yuan may have provided this information to Concubine Liu Def.
Thinking of this, Xu Nuo could barely calm down. She trusted Xiao Yuan and believed that even if he knew about Fang Jing's existence, he would not threaten her with it.
While the two stood talking, footsteps could be heard in the distance.
Their ears are extremely sensitive, and they can estimate the number of people in their minds when they hear footsteps.
After hearing the footsteps, the two of them headed towards a depression at the corner of the wall almost at the same time.
This place was originally not big, with a distance of about three feet, but now two people were squeezed in, and there was no gap left.
Xu Nuo leaned against the wall and pressed his face directly against Xiao Yuan's chest.
Although she didn't need the sense of security given by others, such a strong and warm chest really made her realize the meaning of the word sense of security.
Almost instantly, the young man's unique aura surrounded her, dry and elegant.
She could feel every beat of his heart, strong and powerful, like the sound of a drum.
But it seems a bit fast.
Xiao Yuan didn't expect this place to be so small, otherwise he would have just found a place to hide, so why would it be the same as now...
Awkward, nervous.
The person in front of her was thin and slender, with her arms bent against his chest. Even so, she could feel the softness of her body. The faint fragrance lingered on the tip of her nose, and her heartbeat couldn't help but beat a little faster.
The two of them were almost touching each other, and they could hear each other's breathing clearly.
Xu Nuo quickly calmed down, hoping to avoid the inspection, but Xiao Yuan was not only breathing heavily, but his heartbeat was even louder, as if he couldn't wait for people to find him here.
Xu Nuo has seen Xiao Yuan after he calmed down. Even if he is separated by a window, people will ignore his existence. Why is he looking like this now?
The patrolling guards are getting closer and closer. If anyone has good hearing, they might be able to spot them.
Xu Nuo poked Xiao Yuan helplessly, telling him to calm down.
Her arm was bent between the two bodies, and the range of movement of her hand was very small. In addition, she was so anxious that she didn't pay attention to where she was poking, and she happened to touch Xiao Yuan's most sensitive spot.
Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, frowning his long eyebrows, but he refrained from speaking. His heartbeat suddenly increased and then slowly dropped, and his breathing became soft as if it didn't exist.
One of the patrolling guards asked, "There seems to be some movement over there. Let's go take a look?" The voice was very young and hesitant when asking. It sounded like he was a newcomer.
"Are you mistaken? Where is the person?" The person who said this seemed to be a middle-aged man, with a little impatience in his voice.
"I clearly heard breathing just now." The young guard still spoke cautiously, but there was a hint of stubbornness in his voice.
"Who do you think you are? Can you hear breathing from so far away?" Someone else retorted.
"I think it's better to go check it out." The young guard's voice was lower, but Xiao Yuan and Xu Nuo's hearing could fully hear it.
When Xu Nuo and Xiao Yuan heard this conversation, although cold sweat did not break out on their foreheads, they still felt a sense of urgency, and the air seemed to be stagnant.
If this little guard with keen senses was more stubborn or bolder, they would definitely be discovered.
Hope he's not a stubborn person.
After the young guard finished speaking, no one answered, and there was a brief pause.
Although the pause was short, Xu Nuo and Xiao Yuan felt that an hour had passed.
Later, I finally heard another person speak, but it was better not to speak, because he said: "In that case, let me go over and take a look. If there is no one, you just wait for me to be punished."
The hearts of the two people hidden in the darkness were almost in their throats.
Slow footsteps approached.
Listening to the footsteps, Xu Nuo roughly estimated the man's height and weight, thinking about how to quickly subdue him later, and then escape while avoiding others.
In fact, trying to escape after attacking the guards in the palace was completely impossible for Xu Nuo who was not familiar with the terrain.
Xiao Yuan glanced at the person in front of him and moved his body. His face was a little red from just now, but fortunately it was dark and he wouldn't be seen.
The warm chest gradually faded away, Xu Nuo immediately realized what Xiao Yuan was going to do, and hurriedly reached out to grab him. In order to prevent him from getting out, she stretched her arms forward and wrapped them around his waist.
Xiao Yuan's body froze when Xu Nuo hugged him like this.
He could take off his shirt with a carefree smile and not be embarrassed about it, but since he had never had physical contact with a woman, he couldn't care less and not take it to heart. (To be continued...)
