Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

In the bamboo forest, there was a big pit filled with corpses, all of whom were the men of Yanyue Palace. Even though the corpse on top was soaked in mud and extremely dirty, one could still tell at a glance that it was wearing a goose yellow dress, a pearl hairpin on its head, and had exquisite makeup on.

If that isn’t the beauty-loving Sun Yuqiong, who else could it be?

Si Kongshu was about to go crazy when she saw the scene in front of her. She choked and shouted, "Qiong'er, my Qiong'er...who is it? Was it that bastard who did this?"

Sikong Shu's eyes were red and she felt extremely sad. After all, Sun Yuqiong had been with her for more than ten years. It would be a lie to say that she was not sad.

"The person is already dead, calm down."

Xue Ye looked at Sikong Shu, who was about to cry, and tried to comfort her.

"How can you ask me to calm down? They are all my hard work." Sikong Shu couldn't stop crying.

Seeing his woman so sad, Xue Ye didn't know how to comfort her and could only stand quietly beside her and accompany her.

The news of Sun Yuqiong's body being found was passed back to the Dark Night Pavilion. At this time, Yan Jingshuo was sitting on the top floor of the pavilion discussing the terrain of the Yanyue Palace with Ying Yi and other secret guards.

I was not surprised at all to hear that Sikong Shu already knew about Sun Yuqiong's death. After all, it was only a matter of time before she was discovered.

Yan Jingshuo tapped his fingers lightly, looking at the map on the table with a deep look in his eyes, then pointed to the dangerous terrain behind Yanyue Palace and spoke slowly:

"Yanhuo, take a team of shadow guards and go in from the back. The terrain here is dangerous, so you must be careful. Remember to bring the detoxification pills given by the princess."

"Yes, understand."

"Well, the two of you should count the number of people and set off at midnight."

"Yes, I will take your orders."

"Yes, I will take your orders."

Yingyi and Yanhuo responded in unison and then left the room. Seeing that everyone had left, Yan Jingshuo slowly stood up and walked to the balcony, looking in the direction of the palace, wondering what he was thinking.

At this moment, there was another knock on the door. Yan Jingshuo turned slightly and shouted towards the door: "Come in."

Ying Yi, who had just left, opened the door and respectfully gestured to the woman next to him, "Princess, please come in..."

"Well, thank you"

Chu Xi nodded slightly and walked in slowly. In the elegant room, he saw a figure as tall as a pine or bamboo looking out the window. His temperament was so cold and extraordinary that Chu Xi was dazzled for a moment and his heart was pounding.

Yan Jingshuo turned around slowly when he heard the footsteps approaching. When he saw that the person coming was Chu Xi, his originally stern face softened a little, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised to form a beautiful arc. He quickly approached Chu Xi: "Xi'er, why are you here?"

"I miss you, so I come to see you."

Chu Xi came back to her senses and took the initiative to put her arms around Yan Jingshuo's thin waist. Her tone was soft and a bit coquettish, and then she looked up at Yan Jingshuo with a bright smile.

Yan Jingshuo raised his eyebrows slightly, and his expression became intriguing when he saw Chu Xi throwing herself into his arms. Being naturally perceptive, he immediately sensed something unusual. This little woman must have something wrong when she took the initiative to act coquettishly. He gently kissed her forehead and said softly, "Xi'er, are you really here just because you missed me?"

"Well, it's really because I missed you that I came to see you."

Chu Xi nodded seriously, but did not dare to look at Yan Jingshuo.

"Nothing else?"

Yan Jingshuo took in all of Chu Xi's little movements, and he spoke with a doting smile.

“Um… yes…” Chu Xi hesitated, not daring to continue.

"Then Xi'er, you don't have to be so careful."

Yan Jingshuo pulled her to a chair nearby and sat down. As usual, he naturally held Chu Xi and sat her on his lap.

"I'm... afraid that if I tell you, you won't agree."

Chu Xi sat obediently in Yan Jingshuo's arms, carefully observing Yan Jingshuo's expression.

Yan Jingshuo looked at Chu Xi's cautious appearance and guessed what she wanted to do, so he asked, "Are you going to ask me about going to Yanyue Palace to settle the score?"

"Um"

Chu Xi hummed lightly.

"Xier wants to go with us?" Yan Jingshuo directly exposed her little thoughts.

"Yes, because I really don't trust you to go alone."

Chu Xi put her arms around Yan Jingshuo's neck, looked at him and spoke seriously.

"No, the danger there is unpredictable. I can't let you follow me to take risks."

Yan Jingshuo immediately spoke out in opposition.

"Your Highness, it's because it's too dangerous that I don't trust you to go alone. Sikong Shu is an expert in poison. Although Your Highness is very skilled in martial arts, it's hard to defend against her. After all, we're going to someone else's territory this time, so I'm worried."

Chu Xi became anxious and put a little more force into the hand that was around Yan Jingshuo's neck, holding him so that he couldn't move.

"Xi'er, I can't let you take the risk. That woman is always thinking about what you have in your hand. It's too dangerous to let you go with her. I can't afford the risk."

Yan Jingshuo spoke earnestly, saying that he could take risks and even sacrifice his own life, but his woman must not lose a single hair or suffer the slightest harm.

"Your Highness, only if I go can I guarantee that you will not be poisoned by Sikong Shu. I cannot let you, Yingyi, Yanhuo and the others take risks in vain."

Chu Xi tried to tell Yan Jingshuo the pros and cons. She was deeply moved by Yan Jingshuo's preference and protection for her, so she couldn't let Yan Jingshuo take any risks.

Otherwise, if something really happened, her heart would probably be in pain for the rest of her life.

Because unknowingly, she found that Yan Jingshuo had occupied her heart, affecting her happiness, anger, sorrow and joy. She could not live without him, just like a fish cannot live without water.

The thought that he was going to deal with Sikong Shu alone made her feel extremely anxious, so she had to follow him no matter what.

"Don't worry, Xier, we will be careful with her." Yan Jingshuo's tone did not allow for any argument and he had no intention of giving in because it was indeed too dangerous.

"Prince"

Seeing his firm attitude, Chu Xi glared at him angrily and said, "If the prince doesn't want to take me with him, then I will sneak away like I did last time. I have plenty of ways."

"No, it can't be."

Yan Jingshuo was visibly panicked. He knew that Chu Xi was talking about the last time he secretly ran out to find Nangong Yu. God knows how he spent those days. He regretted it every day and was worried all the time. He felt like a lost soul.

If something bad happens this time, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it and will really go crazy.

"Then will Your Majesty take me with you?" Chu Xi asked again.

"Xi'er, you can't be so impulsive..."

Yan Jingshuo looked very hurt, and there was a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"My Lord, this is not an impulse. I just can't watch you take risks. I can't live without you."

Chu Xi's hands changed from hugging Yan Jingshuo's neck to holding his face. She looked at him sincerely and spoke her heart out word by word:

“I don’t know martial arts, but I still have the ability to protect myself. Besides, I have the protection of the Holy Gu and the Fire Cloud Bracelet. I will definitely not let anything happen to me.

But Your Majesty, are you sure you can avoid Sikong Shu's sinister tactics? Her poison has reached a superb level. Even if you don't eat it, she has hundreds of ways to poison you."

"But I don't want you to go to such a dangerous place." Yan Jingshuo obviously hesitated.
