He was so open and honest. If she continued to refuse, it would seem that she was too petty. Besides, time was tight and it was not the time to be pretentious. Ning Shu nodded. "Then I'll have to trouble Your Highness."
Yongchengwei brought a horse over. Xiao Yunyi jumped onto the horse and pulled the reins, walking side by side with Ning Shu under the gentle moonlight.
Xiao Yunyi said in a low voice, "I heard that you fell into a trap these two days and met with danger?"
Ning Shu bit her lower lip and nodded slightly. "Yes, but with Heir Xiahou lending a helping hand, I am not in any trouble."
Xiao Yunyi glanced at her and said, "Seeing that you can still come out in the middle of the night and are so lively, I know that you're fine. What about Xiahou Qing? Is he dead? "
Ning Shu's willowy eyebrows suddenly furrowed, "Prince Xiahou is blessed with great fortune and will definitely be fine. Sixth Highness, please pay some attention to your words."
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yunyi laughed. "The way you're protecting him now is very similar to how you defended me when I was bullied by Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother in the palace. I remember that the fiercest time was when I was eleven and you were eight. During the equestrian class, the master taught us to ride and shoot. Father was also present and ordered us brothers to have a small test. I couldn't control myself and wanted to show off in front of Father and win against the two of them. After school, they worked together to coax me into a cold palace and beat me up with the servants. After that, they accused me of being disrespectful to Elder Brother, so I didn't dare to complain in front of Father. This was not a glorious thing and I didn't want you to know, but I didn't expect you to be so careful and not be able to hide it from you. You were so angry that you thought of a trick the next day. You lied to them that you saw a white spirit beast in the Imperial Garden and coaxed them to catch it and give it to Father. I didn't expect you to hide a hornet's nest behind the rockery and stung their faces with poisonous needles, making them roll on the bed and cry for a month. "
Speaking of the past, Ning Shu was suddenly speechless. She said in a low voice, "I was naughty and absurd in the past. I made Your Highness laugh."
Xiao Yunyi smiled faintly. "Don't laugh at me. I have nothing now and only these past events can make me feel better. I should be the one laughing at you."
His tone was so calm and his smile was so light, but it was like a lancet had cut Ning Shu's heart slightly. There was nothing else, only a sigh. It was a good thing that Xiao Yunyi did not dwell on this topic and the two of them continued to rush on their journey silently. From Vermillion Bird Street to the Prime Minister's manor, they met two more groups of Yongchengwei along the way, but Xiao Yunyi came out to chase them away.
When they arrived in front of the Prime Minister's manor, Xiao Yunyi pulled on the reins. "I'll send you here. You can do whatever you want to do next."
Ning Shu bowed and saluted, "Your Highness, thank you for your trouble along the way. Your Highness, please go back."
"Hold on."
Ning Shu turned back.
Under the almost transparent ink-blue night sky, Xiao Yunyi's expression was as calm as water, only his bright eyes were shining with a hazy light. He laughed softly. "You always say that you should remember a great favor in your heart, but it's not as practical as eating it. You should treat me to a meal one day to repay my favor."
Ning Shu was speechless and immediately said, "No problem, it's my honor to treat Your Highness to a meal."
"I'll remember it. Don't think about going back on your word. I'm very familiar with where Duke Ning's door is."
After joking, he added, "Be careful and try not to get hurt. If you get hurt, I won't be like Xiahou Qing and risk my life for you. "
Ning Shu also smiled, feeling relieved. She knew that the thing that had been stuck in their throats together had finally disappeared, turned into fluorescent powder and was blown away by the night's breeze. Bowing to him again, Ning Shu dismounted and turned to knock on the door of the Prime Minister's manor. The two of them parted ways.
"Lady Ning? My Eldest Young Master is not home, please go back! " As soon as the door opened and he saw Ning Shu's face, the gatekeeper rolled his eyes and slammed the door in her face.
