The dark guards were all taken aback. Was she giving up her life?
In fact, it only happened in a split-second. Dongfang Ning's hand was extended and added to her height, the distance between her and 011 was less than 3 meters. When the opponent sweeps her leg, they would move 80 cm or so, just enough to reach the edge of her knife.
That was why his leg swept out when Dongfang Ning's hand was already on his shoulder. With a fulcrum, she turned her head and leaned close to 011, a cold light flashing across her red lips — —
Luckily, he reacted quickly and was startled. He quickly dodged the unknown blade and rolled on the ground, not caring about his appearance. Otherwise, the scalpel that suddenly appeared in her mouth would have pierced his throat.
Even so, 011 was still in a sorry state. A few strands of her hair had been cut off, while Dongfang Ning was already standing quietly by the side.
This was just a matter of moments, and everyone was secretly shocked. The princess had let him go, or else he wouldn't even have the chance to roll around. They could clearly see that when she held the knife in her mouth, one of her hands was holding onto his shoulder as a fulcrum, while the other hand was holding onto the blade to take his life.
Too cool ~
Too exciting!
The Royal Concubine was mighty!
A few could not help but reveal themselves, looking at the girl from afar who looked as if she hadn't moved at all. At this moment, she had already returned to her original state. Clever, confident, yet... She was as innocent as an ignorant girl, a young girl who had just come out from her mother's side to play.
"Don't look at me like that. I don't know martial arts. I learned how to kill people in one move and how to kill enemies in the shortest amount of time. I don't know anything else, take me to the study room."
"Yes sir!"
An orderly voice resounded in the courtyard.
"…"
Where did these people come from? There were people all around. All of them were wearing black clothes and black pants. Did Yan Wuzhan's place look like a home?
Along the way, she didn't see a single girl, not even a maidservant. Even the person who served her tea was a guard.
He didn't feel the least bit humiliated losing to the Royal Consort. In his heart, he held Dongfang Ning in high regard once more. Not only was she smart, but she was also skilled. She was an independent girl with good judgement!
What kind of good stuff did Yan Wuzhan's Duke Palace have? They sent so many people to guard it, and this place's defense was even higher than Anning Hospital.
Dongfang Ning took a look inside the study. The room was very concise, with rows of bookshelves filled with books and a small incense burner on the table. This was used by the ancients to burn incense and refresh one's spirit, and he had just come back.
It was a bookcase against the wall. Dongfang Ning could tell at a glance that the ancients liked to play with these things, but there was a secret in his study.
"Ning'er ~"
Just as she was about to touch the book that instinctively controlled the movement of the bookshelf, Yan Wuzhan came back.
"You're back, why is the empress looking for you?" How can you walk without making any noise! " Dongfang Ning retracted her hand. She didn't have the slightest nervousness to peep on Yan Wuzhan's privacy.
"Hehe, you missed me?"
"…"
"Alright, I'm not teasing you. This mechanism is untouchable. This is a fake mechanism, why are you attacking it after checking? If it wasn't for This King rushing back, you would have been shot like a hornet's nest. You're so careless!"
When he thought of the possible consequences, he hugged her fearfully and said:
"If something happens to you, what do you want This King to do? In the future, in a foreign land, you must not touch anything you don't understand. Do you understand?"
"You're not allowed to say you want to sleep in front of other men, you're not allowed to wear too thin of a outfit …"
"Yan Wuzhan, you've gotten sick again!"
Sensing his nervousness, Dongfang Ning felt depressed. Weren't you fine just now? Why did you suddenly turn hostile? You're even more fickle than a woman!
"Many people want this king's life. This king's manor cannot be defended, but there must be danger everywhere. Otherwise, how can this king live to this day? Ning'er, you're still young …" Don't make This King too worried. "
What kind of life had he lived all these years? Dongfang Ning was a little doubtful about how his life had come about, even his own resting place had been turned into a trap.
He must have suffered unbeknownst to anyone.
"Alright, I'm fine, you …" "Don't worry." This was a man that she was willing to give her back to. She could easily feel his worry.
"What happened? Why are you so scared?"
A head popped out of his arms. She looked up at his chin, which was trembling as if it were holding a treasure that had almost disappeared. Was that mechanism really that powerful?
"Just you wait. This King will remove the mechanism here. If you continue to play around, don't move about recklessly anymore!"
In order to show that he wasn't worrying for nothing, but that this place was really dangerous, Yan Wuzhan wanted to remove the traps in the house so that the women in the house could play around. If he was too careful and caused something to happen to her, he definitely wouldn't forgive himself.
"Don't, let's get down to business. Anyway, I don't come here often. Why don't you just say that I won't move around? Why should I move away? I'm not that kind of weak person …"
Dongfang Ning stopped him. He definitely had a reason for wanting to set up defenses in his own residence. This man had even set up his study room in such a dangerous manner that even he himself had a safe place to live. Let's not think about it for now and talk about tomorrow's entry into the palace.
"Alright, let's go over and sit down. It's not safe here."
Yan Wuzhan let go of her slender waist and pulled her towards the desk. There was only one chair, so he made her sit on his lap.
"Huangfu Feixue wants me to support the crown prince!"
"What do you think?" The two of them snuggled together, asking and answering questions, completely unaware of how intimate their postures were.
"I can see from the letter my mother left behind that Huangfu Family has helped me. Let's discuss this matter again. What does Ning'er think?"
His mother had mentioned many things in that letter. She had explained everything that had happened that year in detail, and even though the current situation of Huangfu Family wasn't personally caused by the Emperor, it was due to him that they had lost all of their power and influence …
In order to protect his life, Huangfu Family voluntarily handed over the military power and the most important position when Yan Yihan ascended the throne.
"You are a righteous and loyal person, you can help a person who will benefit the common people. If his character is too bad, then there is no need for you to support him. You don't want to sit in that position? "
Dongfang Ning had asked very carefully about this matter. He had never had a mother since he was young, and his parents had died so miserably. She could only remind him from the side that he had to repay her kindness, but he couldn't do it blindly either.
"You know me too, Ning'er!"
The feeling of being understood was as if someone had helped him with a heavy burden. He finally loosened his frown, but after he calmed down, he immediately felt his entire body heat up. He didn't notice earlier, but now he realized how ambiguous his relationship with Ning'er was …
"Ning'er ~"
