Nan Nan carefully climbed up from the rockery, patted the dust on his body, looked at the guards running around in the palace, blinked and silently retreated.
They wouldn't think of him as an assassin, because he had just gone to the imperial kitchen to get two pastries and a bowl of bird's nest porridge. I heard, I heard that the bowl of bird's nest porridge seemed to be for a certain empress. He couldn't have drank it, so he thought it was an assassin.
Nan Nan patted his little heart that was beating wildly, and waited until all the guards below ran away, then carefully got down from above and sneakily found Ye Lansheng's courtyard.
No, he had to hide himself first and wash his face and mouth to avoid finding out that he had secretly eaten the bowl of bird's nest porridge.
Really, that lady is so stingy, isn’t it just a bowl of bird’s nest porridge? Although it tastes good, you can't think of him as an assassin.
What's the big deal? Just make another bowl when it's gone, you stingy guy.
Nan Nan hummed coldly and walked cautiously towards Ye Lansheng's yard along the way he came.
Just because of the assassins, there were a lot more guards along the way, and the guards were tighter. Nannan took two steps and found that the direct route to Ye Lansheng's house was blocked and he could not go back.
"It's too much. It's just a bowl of bird's nest porridge. It's so inhumane to force such a small child like me to die." Nannan threw his arms and cursed angrily. He saw a guard coming towards him. He came over here and hurriedly hid behind the door with his neck scrunched up.
The group of guards walked forward with cold faces as if they didn't see him, and walked directly into the Xianghe Palace in front of them.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step inside, he was kicked out by a eunuch-looking person.
"Get out, don't you know where this place is? The assassin was caught here. The Queen Mother is doing some repairs inside. Whoever dares to disturb you should be careful about your life."
The leading guard and the person behind him looked at each other, their expressions softened slightly, but they still had no intention of retreating, "Father-in-law, we are also following orders. There is an assassin in the palace. If we don't catch him as soon as possible, the assassin will disturb and hurt the Queen Mother. Wouldn’t the consequences be more serious?”
"Bold, there are people guarding Xianghe Palace inside and outside, how could we let assassins in? If you take another step forward and disturb the Queen Mother, don't blame us for being rude."
As he spoke, the eunuch waved his hand, and four guards immediately came out from behind, each with a cold and murderous expression on their faces, as if the searching guards would not mind killing them on the spot if they dared to move forward.
The guards looked at each other, and finally gave up the idea of going in to search after careful consideration. The leader waved his hand, and the other guards could only follow them and leave the Xianghe Palace.
It just seemed like he was still doing his duty, and the place he was holding was a little further away, but he didn't completely move away.
Nannan frowned. Those guards were so bad. Now not only could he not go to Xiao Shengsheng's yard, he could not even go to the Royal Garden to watch the ants fighting.
With puffed cheeks, Nannan was extremely depressed. I can only turn around and look at the only entrance without a guard's handle - Xianghe Palace.
Queen Mother? Ah, by the way, Xiao Shengsheng said, next to his yard is the Queen Mother's palace. In addition to the outside entrance, there is another entrance to the Queen Mother's Xianghe Palace.
Well, in that case, can he run from here to Xiao Shengsheng's residence
Nannan laughed arrogantly and moved towards the Xianghe Palace with small steps.
However, Xianghe Palace is no better than the Imperial Garden and Corridor outside. It is usually as heavily guarded as copper walls and iron walls. What's more, there are rumors of assassins outside today, so the guards are naturally even stricter.
Therefore, as soon as Nannan poked his head out, a knife was placed on his neck.
Then, a cold voice sounded from above, "Stop."
The short legs suddenly stopped. Nannan frowned and looked at the knife on his neck that shone in the sunlight, and pursed the corners of his mouth into a straight line. After a while, he took a deep breath, slowly and carefully turned around, and raised his eyes to look at the tall figure in front of him.
"Uncle, I think we should talk about life."
The guard was stunned for a moment, and tightened the handle of the knife slightly in his hand. His voice was still cold, "Which palace are you from? What are you doing here?" Looking at the child's dress, it seemed that he was not a servant.
Nannan ignored his question and still insisted on talking about life, "Uncle, you are wrong to do this. You see, I am just a child, a child who is not as big as you, How could you scare me with such a cold thing? What if I get sick from fear? What if my eyes turn white and I die like this? What if you cut my neck with a trembling hand? What to do? What if the blood rushes out here and dyes such a beautiful corridor red? What if... "
The guard's mouth twitched. How could he have so many unforeseen circumstances? After regaining his composure, his face softened a little, but he still spoke very coldly, "This is the Palace of Peace, not a place for you to just come and play. No one can afford to disturb the Queen Mother."
"Oh, uncle, you didn't even listen to me properly." Nan Nan was dissatisfied, "Do you think you should take the knife away now so that I won't be afraid and can speak more fluently, right? Let's talk. It can be smoother, right?"
Doesn't he think he can speak in a bad way? If he removed the knife, wouldn't he be able to spray him to death with saliva
"Then did you listen to me carefully? This is not the place you should be."
"Look, you changed the subject again, didn't you?" Why wasn't this person confused by his own nonsense? It seems that talking about life is useless, otherwise... just fart and smoke him to death? It's better to use medicine to knock him out so that he can go directly inside.
The guard had a headache. He didn't know where this child came from. He couldn't do anything to him if he wasn't a slave. If he was injured, it would cause more trouble. I don't know how he would appear here alone, with no one around him.
Of course there were people following Nan Nan. The emperor's secret guards had been watching him secretly, and they even almost took action when the guard drew his sword. Fortunately, that person seemed to understand and knew not to harm the little master in this palace at will.
Just... what Nannan said almost made them spit out.
But the emperor said that they would not be allowed to show up unless their lives were in danger. Although they wanted to dissuade this little guy from entering the Queen Mother's Palace of Peace, they still gave up.
"Who is making a noise outside?"
However, just as the guards and Nan Nan were glaring at each other, a low but calm but powerful voice suddenly sounded from behind them.
