Chapter 141

Nangong Ning was confused at this moment.

This time, the punishment for the noble was not heavy, but she still felt disappointed.

She was obviously the one who targeted Angui this time, but she was afraid that after this incident, there would be another settle a matter by leaving it unsettled. Moreover, she was curious about what Angui had said to the Phoenix Heaven Emperor last time. Even this time, the punishment was lighter than what she had committed.

What’s more, Queen Xun didn’t understand the meaning behind the Phoenix Sky Emperor’s words of ‘knowing yourself well’.

The Emperor was still giving the honor a chance.

“Miss Nangong, this place is sealed. Aren’t you leaving yet?” Suddenly, a soft voice came from his ear. Nangong Ning raised his eyes and bumped into a smiling face.

After coming out of Lihua Palace, Nangong Ning couldn’t help but look at Mr. Xiao.

Mr. Xiao ignored her and raised an eyebrow at her occasionally.

The Emperor left angrily and Queen Xun was not there.

Nangong Ning and Imperial Doctor Song said a few words. Imperial Doctor Song shook his head and went back to the hospital, while Nangong Ning planned to go back to Pixiang Palace.

After a few steps, Ning Fei stopped and glared at Mr. Xiao.

Nangong Ning also stopped and asked Ning Fei directly.

“Fei’er, was it him last night?”

Ning Fei nodded coldly while Nangong Ning’s face turned cold.

Mr. Xiao smiled and said, “Yes, I thought you didn’t recognize it.”

Nangong Ning was confused about his attitude, but he was more suspicious.

Mr. Xiao smiled again and came over. “Don’t be angry. Last night, although I stood outside your window, I didn’t do anything. What’s more, this little girl stabbed me. To say that I’m at a disadvantage, it’s me too.”

As he said this, he took a deep breath and glanced at Ning Fei, pointing at the place where he was hurt. Of course, Ning Fei wouldn’t dump him, so he could only helplessly spread out his hands.

The coldness in Nangong Ning’s eyes did not decrease, and he sneered, “Really?” Let’s not talk about what happened last night, then what about ten days ago? ”

“Ten days ago?” Mr. Xiao rubbed his nose awkwardly and pretended to be stupid.

Nangong Ning looked at him and said, “Over ten days ago, on the outskirts of the capital city, I met someone who robbed me. Although that person had a bamboo hat on his face, I still remembered his smile. Mr. Xiao, your smile is As like as two peas with that person.”

In fact, Nangong Ning hadn’t seen Mr. Xiao’s face just now because he remembered what happened last night. He recognized him as the person who stopped her in the south of the city that day.

“Miss Nangong, I didn’t say that I wanted to rob you that day, did I?” When Mr. Xiao heard this, he simply admitted it.

Nangong Ning couldn’t help but laugh angrily, “Yeah, you didn’t say you wanted to rob me, but you said you wanted to extort me!” Is this better than robbery?

“Forget about it,” Un, Mr. Xiao actually agreed, so angry that Nangong Ning was about to die.

Nangong Ning glared at him and asked, “Tell me, who are you?” What do you mean by getting involved in the affairs of the noble?

“You can’t tell that. Of course, I’m trying to help you. An Empire is the one who harmed you and wants to make a draw. Of course, I won’t be able to see this kind of evil person anymore. I’ll punish her severely. Isn’t that okay?” Mr. Xiao looked at Nangong Ning with a look of blind eyes and sighed, “Miss Nangong, you can’t be a person without conscience!”

Nangong Ning was really about to die from anger.

“I didn’t say that I wanted you to help me.”

“Then, let me take the initiative to please you?” Mr. Xiao smiled.

Nangong Ning looked at him and felt even more confused.

“Why did you please me?”

“I think you’re pleasing to the eye,” Mr. Xiao said unhappily.

Nangong Ning looked at him in a unbelievable and slowly asked every single word or phrase, “Do you think I’m a fool?”

Mr. Xiao shook his head solemnly. “How can I? I really look pleasing to you. Don’t you know that you look pretty pleasing?”

Nangong Ning wanted to vomit blood!

Mr. Xiao ignored her speechless expression and continued, “Don’t worry, it’s hard for the Anguo to make a comeback this time. It’s been three months. When she breaks the ban, everything will be cold.”

Nangong Ning looked at him in surprise. He smiled mysteriously and said, “In addition, the Emperor trusts me very much. I will do some tricks on the matter of the lilac incense. The noble will never be able to remove it.”

“Aren’t you bribed by someone?” Nangong Ning simply couldn’t understand the man in front of him and asked directly, “Empress?” Could it be Concubine Mei?

Mr. Xiao shook his head. “I came by myself. Queen Xun can’t afford to touch me. Concubine Mei, she’s good, but I can’t save her son.”

What was this? Nangong Ning felt that the logic behind the man’s words was extremely chaotic, but she understood that he was not bribed by anyone she guessed.

Did he come by himself?

“Why did you stop me in the south of the city that day?”

“How are you sure that I’m going to stop you?” I also wanted to ask you why you happened to run up to me? The man asked with a faint smile.

Nangong Ning was speechless again.

Anyway, she was certain that he wasn’t someone from Nangong Luo, but she didn’t believe that he really came to help her just because he saw her pleasing to the eye.

“Why did you stare at me outside my window last night?”

“Don’t worry.”

When Nangong Ning heard this, his face turned cold and he turned to leave.

Mr. Xiao followed behind slowly.

“Consort, he’s following us,” Ning Fei glared at Mr. Xiao with murderous intent and told Nangong Ning in a low voice.

Nangong Ning was powerless at this moment. He gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t care about him.”

Just like that, Nangong Ning returned to Pixiang Palace and Mr. Xiao followed.

In the Pixiang Palace, Princess Qingle was not there. Concubine Mei explained that she drank calming soup and rested in the dormitory.

Nangong Ning was about to remind Concubine Mei to be careful of Mr. Xiao when Mr. Xiao walked over to Concubine Mei and said, “Mrs. Kang, you’re here for Your Highness.”

As Nangong Ning listened, he couldn’t help but look at him suspiciously, feeling that he was suspicious. However, Concubine Mei’s expression changed at this moment and she hurriedly asked, “How’s Han?”

“It’s nothing, but Mother knows that His Highness has always been on a downhill,” Mr. Xiao’s tone was calm and he didn’t have much emotion. He seemed to have nothing to do with what he said. “I just wanted to remind her that His Highness has reached a certain level.”

Concubine Mei’s face instantly turned pale.

Seeing this, Nangong Ning glared at Mr. Xiao and quickly walked over to help Concubine Mei fall.

“Mommy.”

Concubine Mei slowly came over, looked at Nangong Ning gratefully, then turned to Mr. Xiao and said, “Thank you for your reminder.”

Mr. Xiao nodded lightly without saying a word.

Nangong Ning looked at him and suddenly felt that the man she saw before was really the same as the one in front of her?

Mr. Xiao looked at her again. Nangong Ning was about to say something when he suddenly withdrew his gaze and bowed at Concubine Mei.

“Okay, sir, you have to worry,” Concubine Mei said gently.

Mr. Xiao didn’t stay any longer and turned to leave.

Seeing him walking so easily, Nangong Ning became more and more suspicious.

Looking at Nangong Ning’s stunned expression, Concubine Mei asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Empress, why does the Emperor trust Mr. Xiao so much?” Nangong Ning thought it was too suspicious and she had to figure it out.

Concubine Mei smiled faintly. “Actually, this palace is not too clear. It seems that Mr. Xiao saved the driver, so the Emperor trusted him very much. He had only entered the palace a while ago. The Emperor arranged for him to treat Han family of the palace. The effect was really good. After all, even Imperial Doctor Song and the rest were unable to alleviate Han family’s suffering.

“A while ago…” Nangong Ning mused. It was the first time she saw this man ten days ago. In her memory, apart from that time in the south of the city, there was no memory of him.

Concubine Mei looked at Nangong Ning seriously thinking and couldn’t help but ask, “Why is Miss Nangong so curious about Mr. Xiao?”

“I’m not curious about him. I’m suspecting him. I feel like he is a strange person. He doesn’t look like a good person!” Nangong Ning said sincerely, “Mother Concubine Mei, I think it’s best not to let him get close to His Highness. He can’t cure him anyway.”

Concubine Mei smiled faintly and said, “Miss Nangong, you think too much. At least, Mr. Xiao doesn’t have any malice or bad intentions when it comes to Han’s affairs. Besides, Mr. Xiao is not the only one who can’t treat anyone well. At least Mr. Xiao can reduce some of Han’s pain.”

Nangong Ning was speechless when he saw Concubine Mei’s determination.

“Why did he enter the palace?”

“I think I heard that he is here to find someone, or his fiancee who has an appointment with him since he was young,” Concubine Mei said softly and her expression darkened. “But I heard that Mr. Xiao’s fiance seems to be gone.”

Nangong Ning was confused and curious when he heard this. He asked, “Is he in the palace to ask the Emperor to help him search?”

Concubine Mei nodded and said, “It should be. I heard from the Emperor that if I find that fiancee, I will bestow marriage and fulfill their good story.”

Good words? What a joke! Nangong Ning sniff at in his heart. Mr. Xiao was talking nonsense to her just now!

Nangong Ning thought about it for a moment before asking, “Mother, you call him Mr. Xiao. Is his surname Xiao?”

When she thought about it carefully, she remembered that she never knew someone with the surname Xiao.

Concubine Mei nodded. “Yes, Mr. Xiao is surnamed Xiao. His name is Fei Bai. His Highness calls him Mr. Xiao, which is why I and others called him.”

Xiao Feibai? No matter how hard Nangong Ning tried, it was still any clue.

As she was thinking about it, a palace woman suddenly came in and reported, “Mother, someone from Fengyi Palace is here for Miss Nangong.”
