Hua Manxi looked at Long Xiangluo, whose expression had returned to normal, with surprise and said, “You poisoned her? But she doesn’t look like she’s been poisoned.”
“Who said the poison was on her?” Yun Qianyu rolled her eyes at Hua Manxi.
Hua Manxi was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up and said, “Great, little girl, you’re really amazing!”
Yun Qianyu wasn’t interested in Hua Manxi’s flattery. Her gaze instead fell on the person who got off the carriage behind Long Xiangluo.
“Oh, so this is the Nanlou Kingdom!”
The person who spoke was none other than Beitang Ming, the seventh prince of the Jiuxiao Kingdom. He was wearing a red robe embroidered with gold pythons and a golden crown on his head, which made him look dazzling at first glance.
Yun Qianyu glanced at Hua Manxi beside her with amusement. Sure enough, Hua Manxi frowned unhappily. He was also wearing a red robe, which was still embroidered with gold pythons so ostentatiously. But it made his red robe pale in comparison.
“He’s not dressed as well as you!” Yun Qianyu thought to herself, finding it somewhat amusing, but still spoke the truth.
“Really?”
“Of course! It’s like falling into a pile of gold!”
“So apt!” Hua Manxi immediately quoted Yun Qianyu’s words, his mood soaring.
Long Xiangluo glanced at Yun Qianyu, who hadn’t stepped forward, and smiled at Yujian, saying, “Your Highness, the Crown Prince of Nanlou Kingdom, this is the Seventh Prince of Jiuxiao Kingdom, Beitang Ming.”
Murong Yujian frowned and said, “Princess Luo, wasn’t the Seventh Prince of Jiuxiao Kingdom kidnapped? How come he’s with you?”
Long Xiangluo chuckled and said, “It was all a misunderstanding. The Seventh Prince and I knew each other before. Before coming to Nanlou Kingdom, we made a bet. The Seventh Prince said that if I could kidnap him before he entered the capital of Nanlou Kingdom, he would lose one condition to me. It was unintentional; we didn’t expect things to escalate so much! We hope Your Highness will forgive us.”
“Unintentional?” Yujian said with displeasure.
“Hehe, I’ve already had a memorial of apology written. It will be presented to Nanlou’s Emperor immediately upon arrival in the capital. This matter was indeed due to our oversight, causing trouble for Nanlou. Please forgive us!”
“Nanlou is a land of propriety, and we will not hold grudges. However, Princess Luo and the Seventh Prince should remember that such jokes are unacceptable!” Yujian said ramrod straight, his eyes dignified.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince is truly magnanimous; I admire you greatly!” Long Xiangluo flattered with a smile.
Those waiting to enter the city at the city gate were surprised to witness such a scene. It turned out that the Seventh Prince of Jiuxiao Kingdom hadn’t encountered danger, but rather had a private bet with the Princess of Modai Kingdom? The news quickly spread throughout the capital.
Beitang Ming watched for a while, and only after Long Xiangluo finished speaking did he step forward and ask, “Which one of you is the Princess Protector of the Nation?”
Yujian frowned, but still turned to look at Yun Qianyu and said, “Royal Sister!”
Yun Qianyu moved lightly, her blue dress fluttering, and slowly walked to Yujian. “Seventh Prince, you must be tired from your journey!”
“Not at all, not at all, seeing a beauty makes it all worthwhile!” Beitang Ming stared at Yun Qianyu with shining eyes.
Yun Qianyu frowned; she was being blatantly flirted with.
“Indeed, with Princess Luo, this peerless beauty, accompanying you all the way, Seventh Prince must indeed not be tired!” Yun Qianyu subtly steered the conversation towards Long Xiangluo.
Long Xiangluo, who had been watching coldly, immediately changed her expression upon hearing this. She looked at Beitang Ming, waiting for his explanation.
But Beitang Ming opened his mouth twice, yet couldn’t utter a single word.
Beitang Ming pointed at Yun Qianyu in surprise. Seeing this, Hua Manxi immediately stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and affectionately helped him into his carriage. He kept saying, “Seventh Prince, you should take the carriage. It’s still a long way to the post station after we enter the capital! Walking will be tiring!”
