C145

On Moon Lake near the capital.

Because it was still too early, King Xuan was still standing on the lake. The fog had yet to disperse, and the chill was cutting through the air. The trees on both sides of the lake had already been covered by a light snowfall, making the lake appear even more beautiful.

Light footsteps came from behind him. King Xuan smiled faintly. "Lady Nan is so punctual."

"We, as killers, have always been punctual. What business does King Xuan have with me today?" Nan Yulan's voice came from behind him. He was still dressed in red, and with the veil covering his face, he revealed a pair of beautiful eyes.

King Xuan turned around. "I know Miss Nan is a very trustworthy person. Let's get back to business."

Nan Yu Lan slightly nodded: "Alright, if you have something to say, then just say it."

"In the beginning, Ning Wang's power was weaker than before, and I didn't want to deal with him. But now that he has a chance to make a comeback, I can't let him succeed — you know what to do." King Xuan asked her calmly.

Nan Yu Lan smiled: "Of course I know what to do, and I will not leave any problems behind."

King Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction. "I knew that it wouldn't be wrong to find a lady for this matter."

"Thank you, King Xuan, for your love. "Since the prince has given us the task, let's do it now." As she spoke, she prepared to leave.

"I'm waiting for your good news." King Xuan didn't even turn his head, his gaze still chasing after the lake.

With a flash of his body, he disappeared into the forest. When King Xuan heard that there was no longer any movement behind him, a faint smile appeared on his face.

In Prince Ning's study.

After Princess Ning was pregnant, Ning Wang became highly regarded by the Emperor and Prince Yu. He was the eldest son of the Emperor, and the Emperor and Prince Yu had high hopes for him. Now that he thought back, the previous chasm came to an end.

Ning Wang thought to himself, right now, Prince Xuan and King Dingdong were both his strongest opponents, but if his wangfei could give birth to a son, then the other princes wouldn't be his match at all. Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on his lips. He was truly happy, because the time of the princess' pregnancy was too good. He had the ability to turn the tide and turn the tide. While he was deep in thought, he suddenly heard someone leap out from the window behind him. He spoke with fear in his voice, "Your Highness …"

Ning Wang turned his head and saw that Nan Yu Lan was pressing her right arm with her left hand. Her eyes under the veil were even more panicked and uneasy, looking very flustered.

"Miss Nan, what happened to you?"

"My lord, this little girl has failed in her assassination attempt. Send someone to chase after her and beg for her help." Seemingly unable to endure it, Nan Yulan staggered a few steps and almost fell down.

Ning Wang's face sank. "Since your assassination attempt failed and you came looking for me now, doesn't that mean that you're implicating me?"

"I know this isn't right, but I really have nowhere else to go. Moreover, King Xuan's men have set up an inescapable trap for me. If I go out, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape death." When Nan Yulan said this, he was panting heavily. It was obvious that she was severely injured.

Ning Wang coldly smiled and did not continue her line of questioning.

"Your highness, Nanyu Lan only ended up like this because she risked her life for you. Could it be that Your highness intends to not save her?" Her voice was mournful and had an indescribable mellifluity to it.

Ning Wang stared at her for a while before smiling." How could I just stand by and watch you die? " As he spoke, he stepped forward to support Nan Yu Lan and said, "Actually, I had told Miss Nan long ago that with a lady's looks, why must she be an assassin? It would be better to just follow This King, lest these fights and killings cause you to enjoy a lifetime of glory.

Nan Yu Lan shook his head, showing his disapproval: "My lord, since you know Nan Yu Lan's identity, I can only be an assassin …"

"What's so good about being an assassin? Sooner or later, someone else would kill him. If you were to follow This King, the result would be different. " Ning Wang smiled. He had always been a lustful person, and his lust for Southern Wyrm had not lasted a day or two. However, her martial arts were strong, so he couldn't win. Now was a rare opportunity, how could he let it go?

Nan Yu Lan took a deep breath: "Your highness, there's no retreat for Nan Yu Lan right now, you …"

"It is because Miss Nan has no way out that This King gave you a way out." Ning Wang giggled. With his left hand, he caressed the veil of the Southern Summer Palace, preparing to take it off.

Nan Yu Lan tilted his head, "Wait." She seemed to have made a great decision. "I know that there is no better way. If Prince can really save my life, I would rather follow you."

Ning Wang was so happy that the corners of his eyes started to twitch. "Alright, alright. This prince likes willing women. Since you said that, why wouldn't this prince be happy?"

Nan Yulan glanced at him, then slowly took off her veil. Under it was a pair of clear eyes, black and black. The woman's lips curved up in a mocking yet young girl's frown, making her look even more shrewd and charming. She was not as charming or elegant as Princess Ning Wangfei. Although she was a killer, she gave off a feeling of gentleness and cunning. Ning Wang's heartstrings trembled, but she didn't say anything for a long time.

Nan Yulan smiled sweetly: "Your highness has finally met Nan Yulan's true appearance today. Why aren't you saying anything?"

Ning Wang swallowed his saliva. "Miss Nan, I never expected you to be so beautiful!" As she spoke, she hooked her left hand over Nan Yu Lan's chin. Nan Yu Lan's eyes revealed a slight smile, and with a flick of her finger, Ning Wang let out a loud shout, covering his head and shouting, "You?"

"Although I'm a killer, I don't like Master to treat me like this. Moreover …" "You are acting too shamelessly!" Nan Yu Lan's face turned cold.

"So you were bribed by King Xuan. This King has misjudged you!" Ning Wang shouted in panic.

Nan Yu Lan laughed coldly: "You already know it too late. Now, I want to take your life! " As he spoke, he turned his left hand and took out a short dagger from his sleeve.

Ning Wang backed off fearfully, his eyes revealing his desire for life. "I beg of you, don't kill me. I can give you whatever you want. I only want your life!"

"What a pity it's too late for you to say it now!" The dagger in Nan Yu Lan's hand was already at Ning Wang's throat.

Ning Wang's entire body trembled. "For the sake of my unborn child, please spare me." He pleaded repeatedly.

"You have children?" Nan Yu Lan was startled.

"That's right. This King's consort is already six months pregnant. This King can't die now. Has This King yet seen an unborn child?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Yulan was speechless.

When Ning Wang saw that his words had worked, he let out a long sigh. He didn't expect that Nan Yu Lan would snort coldly: "Since you said that, then I'll let you live!" He then attacked like the wind, hitting Ning Wang's acupoints and shooting something into his mouth. Ning Wang's face had already turned bloodless from fright. Nan Yu and Lan Xin coldly smiled, turned and left.
