Yan Yuan did not ask her in detail about the process of how Dong Dan and she met and knew each other was in love. This was not what he needed to know, he just needed to know.
At that time, royal father was already very old, plus he had just been sitting under the heavens for a short while, his political situation was not stable, he had never taken care of them.
It wasn't until later, when he was seventeen, when he led his troops and beat Zuo Ming Chen until he was honest with himself that he finally settled down to this day.
Back then, if the Little Aunt married Zuo Ming Chen, her days wouldn't have been so good.
When Madam Nuo Lan saw Yan Yuan suddenly fall into deep thought, she felt a little apprehensive in her heart.
She had left when she was about five or six years old. At that time, she was still young, but now, twenty years had passed. She knew nothing about Xiao Jiu's personality.
The current her was no longer the royal princess of the past. She still felt a little uneasy facing her nephew in front of her.
"Xiao Jiu, why are you in the East China Sea? From what I know, Profound Destroying Nation has always been very obedient these few years. You aren't here to beat him up right? "
Nuo Lan asked as she randomly picked a topic.
Yan Yuan regained his senses and smiled gently at Madam Nuo Lan, "No, it's a group of sea bandits that lived on an island near the Profound Destroying Nation. They robbed a lot of imperial merchants and I was ordered to capture them.
Speaking of which, Yan Yuan frowned.
Then, he thought of something and asked Nuo Lan: "Royal Aunt, I heard from Mr. Dong Dan that the poison was made by a Magus from a nursery, but the person who harmed me is not a Miao Ren. Can the poison from that Magus be given to someone else?"
Hearing Yan Yuan mention that Magus, Madam Nuo Lan's expression changed slightly. She lowered her voice and said to Yan Yuan, "Xiao Jiu, listen to me, once you've recovered from your injuries, you should immediately leave the seedling grounds. Magus Ye Man is a taboo in the seedling grounds, no one can bring up his name. As for why the poison in his hands would fall into the hands of an outsider, I'm not sure either."
When Yan Yuan saw the little look of fear on's face when he mentioned the Magus called Ye Man, he knew that he was very scary.
Right now, he was not sure where the person who had plotted against him came from, whether he was from Miao Yu, or whether Ye Man had colluded with people from the outside world, and what their goal was right now.
Obviously, Madam Nuo Lan knew nothing about this matter and Yan Yuan did not intend to ask.
As he thought, when Dong Dan came over to check on his wounds later, he would carefully ask him if he knew anything.
Ah!
Just at this moment, a sharp cry came out from the neighboring wooden house. That cry was extremely terrifying.
"It's Xi Ya's voice."
Nuo Lan's face changed and he ran out of the room with Yan Yuan and Duo Ya following closely behind.
"Ah — ah —"
Xi Ya's screams continued to come from the inner room. This hut was where Nuo Lan and Dong Dan stayed.
Nuo Lan ran to the door, and was shocked by the scene inside, his face became pale and he instantly collapsed on the ground, unable to make a sound.
Upon seeing this, Yan Yuan's heart cried out, but she quickly walked forward. She saw that inside the wooden hut, Dong Dan was lying in a pool of blood, covered in blood, Xi Ya was sitting beside him and pushing his body non-stop. She did not say anything, only screaming.
Yan Yuan frowned. When he could not step in, the smell of blood would cause him to faint.
"Duo Ya, help your sister out."
Yan Yuan faced the door, and also shouted at the Duo Ya who had been scared silly.
Duo Ya was still a twelve year old little girl. Hearing Yan Yuan call her, she finally regained her senses, but after a wail, she cried out. Abba! "What happened to my father? Big brother, look at what happened to my father!"
Being cried like this by Duo Ya, Madam Nuo Lan gradually regained her consciousness. She tried her best to support her weak body, stood up, and helped Xi Ya out of the house. She took Duo Ya to the room next door.
"Mama, father, he …"
As Xi Ya spoke, she was trembling from head to toe, she forced herself to calm down, and gave Xi Ya a basin of water to wash his hands. Then, she gave her some clean clothes to put on and hugged Xi Ya and Duo Ya, the two sisters, to comfort her.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid …"
Even though she said that, she was trembling from head to toe. Dong Dan had always been a kind person.
She had to see what was going on.
"You two stay inside and don't come out. Mother will be right back."
With that, the two sisters looked terrified and uneasy. They left the room and went back to the hut where Dong Dan was lying.
At this time, Yan Yuan was half-squatting in front of Dong Dan, his brows deeply furrowed.
Dong Dan was already dead, and her body was still warm. From the looks of it, when Xi Ya found him, the killer had just killed him and escaped.
But why was there no trace of a fight at all? They didn't even hear Dong Dan's cries for help.
At this time, Nuo Lan walked to the door and saw Yan Yuan squatting beside Dong Dan. The room was filled with redness, causing Nuo Lan to be unable to control herself and cry out loud.
"Xiao Jiu, Dong Dan, he …"
"It's already dead."
Yan Yuan slowly got up from the ground. When he stood up, the wound on his chest that had yet to heal was still faintly hurting.
He walked to the front of Madam Nuo Lan. Although he could not bear it, now was not the time to comfort her, so he had to inform Nuo Lan of the details, "One slash to the throat, death due to loss of too much blood. I have checked Mr. Dong Dan's body, but there were no signs of a struggle.
Hearing Yan Yuan's words, Madam Nuo Lan became anxious and was at a loss on what to do, "But … But Dong Dan didn't make any enemies with anyone, I don't know who will kill him! Usually, everyone has a good relationship with him, I … "I don't know …"
Just then, all the Miao people who heard Xi Ya's screams gathered over. The courtyard was not big, and the smell of blood in the house was extremely thick, it had already floated out. Many of them frowned, and started whispering to each other.
Yan Yuan did not understand what they were saying, but seeing that they were pointing at him and saying something, Yan Yuan guessed that they must have connected Dong Dan's death to him.
When she looked at Nuo Lan again, she kept shaking her hands and anxiously explaining something to Miao Yu. However, no one took what she said into her heart.
