Lord, he teased me again

Chapter 184: His Little Girl

Qing Xuan froze when she heard Bai Que's silly voice.

She was about to take a step forward to see what was going on, when suddenly a hand wrapped around her waist, and then her body was covered by a thick cloak. A slightly cool hand gently covered her mouth.

She froze slightly, then turned around in surprise, and met a pair of seductive eyes:

"Second cousin?"

Qing Xuan's mouth was covered by him, her voice was slightly muffled.

She looked at Xia Jingrong who suddenly appeared here in disbelief, and at this moment the two were so close that she was almost completely covered by him, which made her heart beat faster unconsciously.

Xia Jingrong's hand around her waist tightened slightly, leading her back silently.

He didn't let her go until he was out of the fighting range.

Qing Xuan suppressed her frantic heartbeat, and hurriedly asked, "Second Cousin, why are you here?"

Thinking of Bai Que's cry just now, he immediately understood: "Those assassins just now are targeting you?"

Xia Jingrong nodded her head lightly, "Yes".

Qingxuan's complexion suddenly turned ugly: "It's simply unreasonable!"

Qingxuan almost didn't have to think about it, the one who was planning and plotting Xia Jingrong's death was the emperor.

Obviously in the eyes of the world, even in the eyes of the princes and officials, the emperor's most beloved son is the prince, who hurts like an eyeball, and this has made many princes secretly jealous of their second brother.

But who would have thought that such a "loved" prince would actually be the person the emperor most wanted to get rid of?

Qingxuan felt that the emperor in this world was simply a lunatic.

In their celestial sect, if there is an outstanding genius in any sect family, the elders don't think it is enough to make offerings, how could they want to put him to death!

Seeing the little girl's angry appearance, Xia Jingrong was in an inexplicably good mood.

He put his finger on the tip of her nose and tapped it lightly: "It's okay, don't worry about it."

Then he asked again: "How is your business going? Is there any news from Lord Hou?"

"I don't know either, but according to the clues I got, my father didn't die, nor was he captured by the Beirong Kingdom. Instead, he seemed to be sneaking away by himself, so I didn't chase him any further."

She knew that the emperor had been secretly sending people to follow her, even if she didn't know what she was doing, but if she chased her all the way, maybe she would cause trouble for her father.

So after she was sure that her father was safe, she stopped chasing him.

"Well, you don't have to worry too much. Lord Hou has been in charge of the military power in the southern region for more than ten years, and he knows well that if someone insists on framing him, he will be fine." Xia Jingrong comforted her while gently rubbing her hair.

His little girl is a smart girl.

Even though her mind is pure, her reaction is extremely fast. If Princess Qinghe would have told her everything earlier, instead of just thinking about paving the way for her, she might not have come to the next step.

His little girl has always been a decisive and determined person who knows how to choose.

Qingxuan felt a little embarrassed when he looked at him so tenderly. She lowered her eyes and dared not look at him. After being silent for a while, she suddenly gave a start:
"Almost forgot, those assassins, let Shaoyao help?"

Saying that, Qingxuan was about to call Shaoyao, but was stopped by Xia Jingrong:
"No, we have to leave some lives for those people to report back."
