Chapter 126 – Holding in Hostage the Sixth Prince

What he said was logical. If Ji Yunhao’s guards suddenly saw her at the moment of the search, who knows how they will react. Their reactions would certainly become an unwanted variable in her plan.

A glint fleeted through Ning Xuemo’s eyes as she agreed with delight. “Good, let’s do it like that!”

However, Ji Yunhao was somewhat puzzled. As he stared at her, he asked, “You’re not afraid that I’ll take this opportunity to order them to deal with you?”

Ning Xuemo smiled. “Your puny life is still in my hand. I believe you’re not that stupid.” The knife in her hand would end his life before he could shout hello. Furthermore, she already fed him poison, and only she had the antidote to cure him.

‘Smart girl!’

Ji Yunhao sighed gloomily. He lightly clapped his hands and one of his guards immediately lifted the curtain. “Master, you…” As he suddenly discovered Ning Xuemo’s presence, his expression changed, while a light flashed from his palm, and a long sword appeared.

“He is my boy, Junqing. Did you hear me?” Ji Yunhao spoke indifferently, successfully stopping his bodyguard from attacking Ning Xuemo.

Any person qualified to be Ji Yunhao’s personal bodyguard would of course understand his underlying meaning. The guard immediately replied, “Rest assured Master, I, Number Two, understands.”

“Dismissed.” Ji Yunhao waved his hand.

“Yes, Master.” That imperial guard called Number Two bowed his head before leaving.

A light flickered faintly inside Ning Xuemo’s eyes. ‘It seems like the Sixth Prince is not completely an idiot. He does have some abilities, since he trained such a competent shadow guard…’

The carriage quickly reached the city gates. A soldier on duty approached the carriage and inquired about the person inside. During that time, another one inspected the bottom of the carriage, making sure no one hid there.

Then, the two imperial guards gave proof of Ji Yunhao’s identity.
