for me to go and observe military affairs"Mò Jūn Yì subconsciously wanted to prevent An Xuē Táng from treating him like a child.He wanted to prove that he was also capable of protecting her!He patted...The man's words, actions, and tone of voice instantly made the young Xiaohong, who was just beginning to blossom romantically, blush furiously.

She lowered her head, blushing, forgetting the fear and anxiety she had just moments before.

The more Xiao Hong acted this way, the more disgust appeared in the man's eyes. It was a pity that Xiao Hong at this moment was lost in her own shyness and didn't notice it at all.

But the man didn't let Xiaohong be happy for too long. He asked coldly, "Xiaohong, you came to find me today, is there something you want to tell me"

“Oh, right.” He reminded her of this, and Xiaohong immediately reacted. The blush on her face disappeared instantly, and she hurriedly said, “My young mistress said that she's going to the Imperial Kitchen herself tonight to find someone from the Northern Frontier王府. This... what should we do My young mistress always says what she means, and she… if she really meets someone from the Northern Frontier王府, then… what should we do”

Upon hearing Xiaohong's words, the man unconsciously frowned, "Why would your young mistress suddenly want to meet someone from Beijang Wangfu"

"It's because of what happened with the Cheng family today. My young lady suddenly remembered that she hasn't received a letter from the Northern Xinjiang Princess in a long time. She's worried something might have happened to her."

"......" Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

The man's face darkened visibly, his voice instantly turning cold. "Can't you persuade her You're the only person she trusts in this palace. If you find a good reason, how could she doubt it Did you reveal something to her"

"No, no."

Xiaohong, afraid that the man in front of her would misunderstand her, hurriedly shook her head and quickly explained to herself, "Miss didn't suspect me, and I didn't say anything to Miss, I definitely didn't let slip."

The man's face was taut, his sharp eyes fixed on Xiaohong for a long moment. Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, he finally relaxed.

If the flower girl insists on going to the Imperial Kitchen to find someone, then everything they have done all these days will be for nothing.

So no matter what, we have to find a way to stop Flower.

With a sullen face and after pondering for a moment, the man couldn't tell what he was thinking. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Hong.

There was a clear malice in his eyes. Xiao Hong noticed it, her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously took a step back.

Her behavior actually caused the man to chuckle lightly. He raised an eyebrow, then reached out and pinched Xiao Hong's cheek, "What are you hiding from What could I possibly do to you"

“I…”

Xiaohong's heart skipped a beat. She didn't dare say anything, but his gaze just now truly frightened her. She felt like he was scheming against her.

But at this moment, looking into his eyes, that malice, that scheming, had vanished. It was as if everything she had just seen was nothing more than her own delusion.

"Alright, alright, I'm not going to scare you anymore. Don't make that face."

The man’s voice softened, “You and I both know that everything we’re doing is for the young mistress’s sake. You understand her temperament better than anyone. If she knew what we were doing, she certainly wouldn’t agree.”

"So tonight, no matter what, you must stop your young mistress. She cannot find anyone from the Northern Border Prince's Manor."

Xiaohong understood her young mistress better than anyone else. He was right about one thing; under no circumstances could the young mistress be allowed to see anyone from the Beijiang Wangfu. Otherwise, if the young mistress found out what she had done, she would never forgive her.

But now she had no idea what to do, staring at the man in front of her with pleading eyes. "But... but what can we possibly do to stop it Once Miss decides to do something, I... I have absolutely no way to stop her. Miss won't listen to me."

Incapable!

A muttered curse of dissatisfaction in his heart, but the expression on his face was still well-managed. He comforted, "Don't panic, don't rush, let's think slowly, we will surely come up with a solution."

He had already thought of a way out, but he couldn't say it directly or the fool in front of him might become suspicious.

Consoled by the man like this, Xiaohong fully believed him. Her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally relaxed a lot.

After a moment of silence, the man suddenly grabbed Xiaohong's shoulders with both hands, bringing them very close together.

Such a distance instantly made Xiaohong blush, her cheeks were flushed red.

She pursed her lips, avoiding the man's gaze, "You...what are you doing"

"...."

A chill ran down the man's spine. If not to make her believe it, he wouldn't have put on this nauseating act.

Suppressing the emotions in his heart, the man suddenly lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Xiaohong's. Their breaths intertwined.

Xiao Hong's face was as red as a ripe tomato, blushing so intensely she dared not meet the man's eyes. She stammered, "You... you..."

"Little Red."

The man's voice was raspy, incredibly alluring to Xiao Hong's ears. Her body tensed up involuntarily, her response a hushed "Hmm"

"I'm sorry."

"Huh '

Xiaohong was dumbfounded. She didn't care about being shy anymore, she looked up into the man's eyes.

When she saw the guilt hidden in his eyes, she was taken aback and hurriedly said, "What's wrong Why are you apologizing to me"

"It's nothing, I just thought of a way to stop your young mistress, but that method would hurt you."

"Huh!" Xiaohong's eyes were still filled with confusion, she still didn't understand what he meant.

The man hadn't expected Xiaohong to understand immediately, so he continued his perfect performance, "It's nothing, I wouldn't do that to you, it's fine. We can think of something better."

Playing hard to get!

He used this tactic quite well, but unfortunately, Xiaohong, blinded by so-called 'love', didn't notice at all and willingly fell into his trap.

As expected, upon hearing this, Xiao Hong once again displayed that same expression. She couldn't help but feel sorry for him, her voice softening as she said:

"Don't do this, what have you thought of Tell us so we can all consider it. My mind is blank right now, I really can't think of any other way to stop my young lady."

"No...I can't say, how could I say."

The more he acted that way, the more Little Red wanted to know.

"Well, why don't you say it Let's discuss it together. Don't keep it bottled up inside. We've been racking our brains and haven't come up with any viable solutions yet. If you have any ideas, please share them. We can all take a look and see what we think."

The man still looked awkward at Xiaohong, but under her encouraging gaze, he finally sighed in resignation, "Well...if I say it, you promise not to be angry with me."

Xiaohong nodded repeatedly, "I promise, I won't get angry with you."ey, after all, her kind of job can't continue as she gets older.So all those years, even though she really, really liked durian, she didn't dare to eat it until she was full of it.The merchant’s quest...
