The man seemed to understand what she was thinking, and with a cold smile, he said, "I am the assassin. Dont worry, I wont hurt you!" After that, he also released his hand covering her small mouth.

  "Assassin!" Yan Xijun suddenly realized, staring at him, no wonder he always felt familiar, it was actually him!

  "How can you still not escape?" Yan Xijun exclaimed in surprise, how did he go and come back, return to this place, dont you want your life anymore?

  "The palace is full of imperial guards, it seems we cant escape tonight." Nangong Hong said, his arm still wrapped around someone elses waist.

  "Hmm, you cant escape, dont come to me either, I dont welcome you!" Yan Xijun coldly gave the order to expel the guest. What did he take this place as? A refuge? She didnt have such a good heart to take in an icy assassin.

  "I like it here, what about you?" Nangong Hongs right hand slightly tightened its grip on her slender waist, pulling her in front of him, his cold eyes gazing at her.

  Yan Xijuns momentum was unstoppable, and in an instant, she fell into Nan Gonghongs arms, the point of collision being a soft tactile sensation, within sight was his smooth chest with a ancient tangerine color as well as two **bare red dots.

  "You...you...actually...arent wearing...clothes?" Yan Xijun swallowed hard and managed to say this sentence, her face red as she struggled to leave his arms, awkwardly shifting her gaze elsewhere. She shouldnt have seen what she did, but it was a mans chest after all, what could she do?

  This was her first time seeing a mans bare upper body, and it was also the first time she had been so intimate with a man, yet this person wasnt even her husband.

  Nangong Hong gazed at her, her face red and flushed, a crimson hue spreading across her cheeks, as if the color would drip with water. Seeing her attempt to leave his embrace, he couldnt help but flash a sly smile, pulling her closer, his voice low and ambiguous: "My clothes are soaked through, on this chilly night, I wont be able to sleep in wet clothes, will I?"

  Yan Xijun heard this and frowned, saying coldly: "This palace is so spacious, why must you escape to my place? If someone finds out, Ill definitely be dragged down by you!"

  "Dont worry, youre absolutely safe here. They wont find out and they wont search the same place twice." Nan Gong Hong said softly. He had originally planned to escape, but he found that there were many guards stationed everywhere in the palace, making it impossible to escape. Moreover, it seemed that only Chuxiugong was safe.

  Yan Xijun raised her cold eyes and stared at him, saying indifferently: "Im telling you, its best if you leave my house quickly. Otherwise, I wont be polite to you."

  "Hmph," Nangong Hong sneered, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed, the corners of his mouth curled up in a disdainful smile: "What can you do to me?"

  Yan Xijun hooked her lips and coldly smiled back at him: "Believe it or not, I can call someone to catch you right now?"

  "Shouting for people...? Haha, go ahead and shout!" Nangong Hong said with a careless face, then shook his head in disappointment: "I thought you were quite clever, but it turns out youre just like this. I really didnt expect you to be so foolish. A woman with a stunningly beautiful face that can charm peoples hearts indeed has no brains."

  "If someone sees a would-be concubine and a strange man entwined on the bed, doing immoral things, what do you think will happen to us? Who will suffer more? I dont care if I get caught, its just one death, but what about you? Can you afford to lose?"

  "You...this...", Yan Xijun was so angry at his words that she was speechless, how dare he say she had no brains, anyone who knew her would know she was a talented and beautiful woman, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but now she was being rendered speechless by him, what he said was not wrong, if she rashly called someone in at this moment, she might also be implicated.

  Moreover, at this time, the ambiguous posture of the two and his exposed upper body would only make people even more misunderstand, and when the time comes, even if he explains to her, he is afraid that it will be impossible to explain.

  "At this moment, you and I are on the same path, if you follow me with one heart, I will never make things difficult for you."

  "Youre making things difficult for me now, let go of me and let me down!" Yan Xijun growled, this assassin was holding her waist so intimately, it made her extremely uncomfortable, what kind of behavior was this, if someone saw them, she might not survive the night.

  "What are you doing? If I let you go and you find someone to catch me, wont I be harmed by you?" Seeing her say this, Nangong Hong not only didnt let go, but instead pulled her closer, making her stick even tighter. Having such a wonderful person accompany him was also considered not a wasted trip to the imperial palace.

  "I can save you, I wont harm you, why are you so suspicious?" Yan Xijun asked displeased, if she had known earlier, she wouldnt have saved him in the first place, now its too late to regret.

  "I dont believe anyone, you just stay with me tonight and dont think about leaving. Dont worry, I absolutely wont take liberties with you, with the way you look, I still cant bear to." Nangong Hongs words were insincere, he hummed lightly as he wrapped his arms around Yan Xijun and lay down.

  Yan Xijun was so angry that her teeth itched, but she couldnt do anything about him, and could only lie down on one side, silently seething with anger.

  "Sleep! Ill leave early tomorrow!" Yan Xijuns ears were filled with his warm and gentle voice, a low and mellow male voice that made her blush from ear to ear, even her ears turned red as if they were about to bleed.
