After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Chapter 289 Are you actually a thief?

Afterwards, the two chatted and laughed, but kept a normal distance between each other, just like an ordinary pair of lovers.

However, this is not the case in reality. Prince Yu lacks sufficient patience, and the scenes of pretending to be in tune with other women and being affectionate with them are not attractive to him.

In contrast, he tends to show a strong and powerful side.

In his eyes, he is of noble status. Now he is second to none but above ten thousand people, and in the future he will be above ten thousand people.

For a man like him, what kind of woman does he not want?

Not long after, Prince Yu gave a subtle look to the butler standing beside him, then found an excuse to leave.

At this moment, Prince Yu had already left, and An Ning was finally able to do whatever she wanted.

As for the housekeeper, Lianxiang will just have to deal with him later.

An Ning nodded slightly, indicating her agreement: "An Ning will definitely record the usage and efficacy of these herbs in detail, so please rest assured, Your Majesty, go ahead and get busy."

Xuan Yemin was obviously quite satisfied with this. After all, he had always been fond of such considerate and sensible women.

Unfortunately, before Lianxiang had the chance to deal with the housekeeper, the other party had already found an excuse to leave.

It should be that Kan Xuan Yemin left, and the secret guards guarding around also left.

Making sure that Xuan Yemin couldn't notice, An Ning quietly packed up the seeds of several kinds of herbs and put them into the small cloth bag she carried with her.

Just when An Ning was fully devoted to the study of herbs, suddenly, an extremely subtle sound came from not far away.

The strange noise aroused An Ning's vigilance. She quickly turned her head and looked towards the source of the sound, but at this time she could no longer hear any movement at all.

After An Ning glanced at Lianxiang casually, he turned his gaze back to the herbs in his hand and began to examine and ponder them carefully.

Time passed quietly, and before long, Lianxiang squatted down lightly, like an agile cat, and quietly approached An Ning's ear.

She lowered her voice and whispered softly, "I saw a figure. Judging from his figure and posture, I guess he doesn't know any martial arts. He just passed by here in a hurry. The direction he was heading was exactly where Prince Yu left."

Hearing this, An Ning's originally smooth movements suddenly froze. After a brief pause, she gently patted off the grass debris on her palms and slowly stood up.

Then, she walked steadily towards the place where the strange noise was heard before, lowered her head and looked carefully, and sure enough, she saw a series of very eye-catching footprints on the ground.

These footprints certainly looked as if someone had passed through here not long ago.

So, An Ning and Lian Xiang looked at each other, nodded in understanding, and then followed the path indicated by the mysterious footprints.

Finally, they arrived at the door of a room located in a secluded corner.

The door of this room was not closed but half open.

The windows of this room had been nailed shut at some point, and if you lean close to the crack in the door you can still smell the musty and dusty odor coming from inside.

The two of them approached cautiously and tiptoe, afraid of making the slightest noise.

But even so, they could still clearly hear a slight and rapid rustling sound coming from inside.

An Ning did not hesitate at all. He decisively stretched out his right hand and used all his strength to push the door forward.

There was a crisp "creak" sound, and the originally dilapidated door was pushed open all of a sudden.

At this moment, everything in the house was revealed to the two of them without any concealment.

Judging from the layout and furnishings of the room, this should be a study, but everywhere within reach is covered in dust, and it is obvious that no one has been here for a long time.

Then, An Ning's eyes fell on the stranger who was standing with his back to them.

I saw this person concentrating on looking for something in front of a huge bookcase, and seemed to be unaware of what was happening behind him.

"Who dares to trespass here?!" When An Ning saw this scene, her eyebrows suddenly raised, her beautiful eyes widened, and she shouted loudly and rudely.

This sudden shout was like a thunderclap that shook the earth, echoing continuously in the dead and silent space for a long time.

The man was obviously extremely frightened. His body trembled violently and then he turned his head quickly as if he had been electrocuted.

When he saw who was coming, his face instantly became extremely shocked, as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world.

An Ning looked closely and was startled: Why does this person look so familiar?

After thinking about it carefully, she finally remembered that this person was the servant who stopped her and Qi Wuyou at the gate of the palace yesterday. His name seemed to be... Zhang San?

An Ning frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Oh, it's you! I have some impression of you."

She was seen with her arms crossed in front of her chest, leaning against the door frame, and together with Lianxiang beside her, they blocked the door tightly.

"I clearly remember that I didn't see you following me when I went out today. So the question is, could it be that you sneaked here alone without telling the prince? Could it be that... you are actually a thief?"

At this point, An Ning suddenly let out an extremely exaggerated exclamation: "Oh! What should I do? I must report this to the prince immediately."

Hearing An Ning threaten to report the matter to the prince, the man panicked and shouted in a stern voice: "Stop! Don't leave!"

Then he quickly reached into his arms, took out an extremely sharp dagger, and held it tightly in his hand.

Then, his face flashed with ferocity, and he shouted viciously: "You bitch, I didn't expect you to find out. In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As he spoke, he kept waving the dagger in his hand, as if trying to scare the person in front of him.

However, faced with such a threat, An Ning not only did not show any fear, but instead found it very interesting.

She simply let go of her hands and feet, put her hands on her hips, straightened her body, and responded without showing any weakness: "Humph! Even if I really yell, so what? Although we are both weak women, it doesn't mean that we can't deal with you."

These words were like a fire, instantly igniting the anger in that person's heart.

His eyes widened, his face full of anger. Without saying a word, he raised the extremely sharp dagger in his hand and rushed towards this side like a ferocious beast.

But what happened next was jaw-dropping - Lianxiang flashed and moved as swiftly as lightning, kicking the man hard.
