"Sister, are you inside?"

"Empress Dowager Xian, please wait a moment. This subordinate will go report first."

"There's no need. I'm a blood sister to your princess consort, so there's no need to report anything."

"Lanyi, big sister has come to see you."

The sound of footsteps came closer and soon the door of the hall could be clearly heard.

Inside the room, Xuanyuan Yun and Xiao Lan both looked towards the door. Xuanyuan Yun's expression was indifferent, but one could faintly see his cold smile.

Meanwhile, Xiao Lan had already completely frowned.

Elder sister? Consort Xian?

That Ye Menghan.

What was she doing here?!

And it was at the wrong time.

Xiao Lan quickly caught sight of the figure of Cang Menghan, as well as the blurry silhouette that was following her from a short distance away.

Xiao Lan's brow furrowed. She was not afraid of him, but with her subordinate's wisdom, even if Xuanyuan Feng did not say anything, he would have sensed the strangeness of the room.

It was too late to do anything now, as everyone had already stepped into the hall. Amidst the firelight, Xiao Lan suddenly raised his arm, turned Xuanyuan s face, and kissed Xuanyuan Feng's thin lips which were stained with blood.

..........................................................................................................................................................................

Breathing and looking at each other, something in the air gradually changed.

"Ya!"

"Ugh …"

Shocked exclamations quickly sounded from the entrance of the palace as they covered their mouths.

"Truly shameful …"

"This broad daylight is really …" How shameless. "

The maidservants below began to whisper to each other. Although they were all complaining and blaming them, their tone of voice couldn't conceal their jealousy and envy.

The figure scanned the crowd with a dark gaze and said, "Empress, please go back."

"Empress, let's hurry up and leave."

One of the maidservants stepped forward and held onto Yu-Meng Han's hand.

She took a deep look at the two people sitting by the window, both of whom had their lips pressed together. Her gaze darkened as she said in a cold voice, "Shut up."

"Let's go!"

Very soon, everyone's footsteps disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Lan's eyes did not blink as he looked at Xuanyuan Yun, and Xuanyuan Yun did not even blink as he stared at Xiao Lan. Gradually, a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

Seeing Xuanyuan Po's smile, Xiao Lan ruthlessly grabbed onto his left arm as a sharp fingernail instantly dug into his flesh.

Xuan Yuan smiled as though he hadn't noticed it, and his smile was getting deeper.

Xiao Lan took in a deep breath as the corners of her lips couldn't help but twitch. A wisp of blood soon stained her lips from this sudden movement.

Xiao Lan frowned in disgust, and only after seeing that there was no sound coming from outside the hall, did she swiftly straighten up and raise her arm to forcefully wipe away the trace of scarlet red.

When Xuanyuan Wentian saw this black pupils that were instantly as cold as ice, she actually dared to use such strength to wipe them away!

"Canglan Yi, This King will definitely not let you off."

After he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Yun slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Feng had closed his eyes, Xiao Lan paused her actions as she wiped her lips. It was probably the effects of the Absolute Leaf Grass' juice.

Xiao Lan lowered her arms and walked closer to Xuanyuan Yun. She reached out to push his shoulder, but Xuanyuan Yun had no reaction.

It seemed as though he had completely fallen into a coma. In the next second, Xiao Lan's movements were extremely quick as she placed Xuanyuan Yun on a slump.

Xiao Lan's eyes were deep, "Xuanyuan Wentian, the Profound Spirit Pearl is not in your possession, so it doesn't matter what you have said. Once I search the Residence of Regent, I will naturally find out."

Following which, Xiao Lan touched Xuanyuan Yin's waist and quickly found an exquisite jade token.

This medallion was Xuanyuan Wentian's personal item and also a symbol of his identity. With this medallion, Xiao Lan could enter any place in the Residence of Regent.

In the past, she had even stolen it, wanting Han Yuhao to imitate her. At that time, she only wanted to be low-key and find what she wanted, and do what she needed to do.

But now that he thought about it, she was really childish. Violence was, after all, the fastest and most effective way to solve a problem.

Xiao Lan quickly stuffed the order badge into her sleeves, pulled over the blanket and covered Xuanyuan Feng with it. She then went to find a handkerchief and wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, as for the blood on the white robes, Xiao Lan did not even think about peeling off Xuanyuan Feng's clothes and threw them into a hidden corner.

After finishing all this, Xiao Lan quickly walked out of the hall.

Xuanyuan Wentian would have to sleep for at least six hours. During these six hours, she would definitely be able to search the entire Regent's Estate.

Just as they arrived at the inner court, Xiao Lan saw the afterimage as expected.

When the afterimage saw Xiao Lan walk out by himself, he couldn't help but reveal a bewildered expression.

Xiao Lan calmly walked to the front of the afterimage.

"Esteemed wangfei, is there something you need your subordinate to do?"

Xiao Lan acted as though nothing had happened and nodded. "Yes, I want to go back to the manor to retrieve an item. Since Your Highness has fallen asleep, you don't have to follow me. You just have to guard Your Highness."

Shadow's brows furrowed even more tightly.

Has the prince fallen asleep?

Seeing the afterimages becoming increasingly puzzled, Xiao Lan feigned an embarrassed cough. "Perhaps it's because Your Highness is a little tired, you can go and guard it."

Tired?

Shadow raised his head to look at Xiao Lan.

Suddenly, the scene of the two within the hall appeared in his mind.

Oh ~ He understood.

Shadow also revealed an awkward expression and stopped thinking about it.

"Yes, this subordinate will guard the prince."

Xiao Lan didn't say anything further and turned around to leave, but before leaving, she still secretly sized up Shadow once more.

She had already arranged everything properly in the hall. She reckoned that when Shadow entered the hall, he wouldn't be able to find anything out of the ordinary. Even if he did, it would only happen six hours later.

As soon as Xiao Lan left the Armory Pavilion, she galloped straight to the Regent's Manor. Using her medallion, she first went to the Wordless Pavilion in Xuanyuan Po, then to the Hidden Weapon Pavilion, and finally to the Dark Pavilion that no one was allowed to enter.

Xiao Lan guessed that if Xuan Yuan wanted to hide something, these three places were the most likely to happen, so she decided to take care of these three places first.

Within the Residence of Regent, Xiao Lan was extremely busy. As for the Forge Soldier Pavilion, after guarding outside of the hall for two hours, they suddenly felt that something was amiss.

Could it be that "Wei-Lan Yi" had better physical strength than his highness? Her master was so tired that he fell asleep. How could it be possible for her to act like nothing happened?

The afterimage turned and flew back into the hall.

Arriving at the palace, the afterimage saw Xuanyuan Yun leaning against the cliff at first glance, so he walked a few steps to Xuanyuan Yun and swept his eyes across his body.

Nothing unusual.

However, he still felt that something was wrong.

The silhouette whispered, "Your highness, your highness, your highness …"

After three echoes, Xuan Yuan still had no reaction, and the afterimages instantly turned cold.

If something happened, his family's master would never fall asleep. Even if it was the deepest night, he had important things to report, so he didn't need to wake up for a third time.

Shadow quickly stepped forward and grabbed Xuanyuan Wentian's blanket, "Your highness, your subordinate has offended you."

The afterimage suddenly lifted the quilt, and even after lifting the quilt, the afterimage still did not appear abnormal. But just as he was about to put the quilt down, he saw a flash of bright red light at the heart of Xuanyuan Po's clothes.

"Your Highness!"

The afterimage was shocked. After a moment, it turned around and rushed back to the hospital.

However, the afterimage had only taken three steps when a cold voice sounded from behind him.

"Halt."
