That night.
Ning Yan sneaked directly into the palace of the Queen of Lan Cang Kingdom, and found the location of Xiao Yu's palace according to the map given to him by his subordinates. As soon as he stepped in, he smelled the smell of alcohol in the air.
His brows immediately furrowed, and his eyes fell on Xiao Yu, who was sitting on the ground not far away, drinking to drown his sorrows.
He doesn't look like an emperor at all!
Ning Yan had no right to say that to Xiao Yu, because in the year that An Xin was away, he had spent countless days and nights like this, and only in this way could time pass faster.
He walked slowly to Xiao Yu and looked down at him. He didn't know how drunk he was and whether he could ask him anything.
Fortunately, Xiao Yu was not drunk enough to lose consciousness completely, and he still recognized Ning Yan.
"Why are you here?" There was a hint of vigilance in Xiao Yu's eyes.
"Where did she go?" Ning Yan didn't want to waste time with him at all and asked the most important question directly.
Xiao Yu pretended to be stupid at this time, "She? Who are you talking about? I don't know who you are talking about. Get out of here right now. If people knew that you, the emperor of Ning country, came to the bedroom of the emperor of Lancang country, they would definitely say that you have evil intentions."
Still pretending to be ignorant to him? It was obvious that she just didn't want to tell him, which was within Ning Yan's expectations.
"Even if you don't tell me, I can find out, but I'm asking you to save time." Ning Yan sneered and paused for a moment before continuing, "Based on my understanding of her, she chose to leave in this way, which must mean she has something important and dangerous to do. Tell me, at least I can still protect her."
Although they don't like each other, they usually put peace of mind first.
Xiao Yu also heard this and was silent for a while.
Miaojiang is a dangerous place. There is An Rou and the witchcraft that is unknown to outsiders. How could Xiao Yu not know that there are many difficulties ahead
"Tell me, where did she go?" Ning Yan knew that she had guessed right when she saw his expression, so she asked again.
Xiao Yu closed his eyes slightly, struggled for a few seconds, and finally answered honestly, "Miaojiang."
This answer was beyond Ning Yan's expectations, and her brows immediately frowned. She had no idea why she wanted to go to Miaojiang at this time. It was not a good place.
"Why?" Ning Yan was worried and unwilling. Why didn't he know anything about her
"To help my cute baby get rid of the poison." This time Xiao Yu answered very cheerfully.
Xiao Yu finally understood the difference between him and Ning Yan. At a time like this, he would rush to An Xin first and decide to protect her, but he couldn't.
Even though he knew she was leaving, he couldn't drop everything and go with her.
During this year, he was very clear that An Xin still had Ning Yan in her heart and there was never a place for him. He was always unwilling to accept this, but he could do nothing about it.
At this moment, Xiao Yu came to his senses a little and realized that he should let go and let her find her own happiness.
Ning Yan was thinking, wasn't the poison in Mengbao already cleared? Why was it still there? When he thought of this, he felt full of self-blame. He was really not a good father!
"Which road should we take?" Ning Yan calmed himself down and asked again.
"I don't know, she didn't tell me." Xiao Yu shook his head bitterly.
This was the truth. Perhaps An Xin didn't want him to send someone to follow her. She was really determined to break up with him completely. He felt nothing but bitterness in his heart.
Ning Yan looked at him like this and didn't say anything. Since Xiao Yu didn't know, he had no plans to stay any longer. It was more important to find An Xin first.
"Go find her, will she be willing to see you?" Xiao Yu was still unwilling and couldn't help but rub salt into Ning Yan's wounds.
This also made Ning Yan pause for a moment as he was about to leave. He knew without thinking that An Xin would definitely not want to do that, but so what
"Whether she is willing or not, I will stay with her, and I will not let go this time." Ning Yan gave a very firm answer, with no intention of backing down.
Xiao Yu was slightly shocked by his words, and then thought that he could only be bound to this Lan Cang Kingdom.
He couldn't be by her side to protect her, so he let someone else protect her.
Ning Yan did not leave after he finished speaking. Instead, he turned around and looked at him deeply, then said, "Since she wants to leave Lan Cang Country by faking her death, I hope you can treat her as dead."
"She promised me that she would come back again!" Xiao Yu didn't understand the implicit meaning of his words and said this in anger.
However, Ning Yan only left him with a departing back view without saying another word.
—
Half a month later, Licheng.
An Xin and the others traveled for half a month before they finally approached the Miao border, but they did not enter rashly because they did not yet understand the situation and were afraid of losing themselves.
Therefore, they decided to stop temporarily in Licheng, which is closer to Miaojiang in Lancang, to discuss countermeasures before taking any action.
Licheng is a relatively remote place and is not well-connected to news. Even though they knew the news of the death of the Queen of Lancang Kingdom, they did not know what the Queen looked like.
This also makes things easier for An Xin, as he doesn't have to disguise himself or anything.
"Boss, we need four rooms." An Xin and others found the inn where they were staying and planned to take a rest first.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." The boss was so happy when he heard that the customer was generous.
After they settled in the room, they went downstairs to eat. Several people sat around the table and ordered a lot of food. They had been rushing on the road, so it was not easy for them to eat something good.
"Kingzi, if you insist on following me, the Dugu family must hate me to death." An Xin sighed and said to Dugu Ying'er opposite her.
Also because her last name is too obvious, she still uses the name Silhouette to avoid being recognized.
It wasn't easy for Dugu to recognize the person, but she didn't expect that he would follow her away again this time. She must hate her to the core.
"No, I've already told them that I'll go back when it's over." Silhouette shook his head and spoke seriously.
Because Xiao Ran married Dugu Yue'er, although Yingzi didn't say it, it was obvious that she was still hurt by love. The people in the Dugu family also wanted her to go out for a walk to change her mood, so she agreed.
Under normal circumstances, I would definitely not agree.
An Xin could understand, so she turned her gaze to the other side, "Wang Chuan, then why are you following me?"
