After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

Ning'er smelled a faint bitterness at the tip of her nose, but then a lingering cold fragrance emerged in the aftertaste.

The fragrance instantly soothed her tense body and her heart relaxed, but her intuition realized before her reason that he had come.

Ning'er turned her head and saw that in the dark night, Chu Huan's eyes were full of starlight, shining brightly. He was lowering his head slightly and looking at her carefully.

Unable to contain her excitement, she grabbed Chu Huan's sleeve and lowered her voice: "Ling Wei! It's really you!"

Chu Huan quickly reached out to hold her shoulders, fearing that she would accidentally fall down, and whispered, "Be careful, we are still in the tree."

Ning Er finally realized their current situation and quickly covered her mouth, saying angrily, "Why are you here? Where's Han Guang? Where did he go?"

As soon as she saw Chu Huan, a series of questions surged into her mind. The suffocating tension and uneasiness she felt a moment ago suddenly left her in an instant.

Chu Huan's eyes were filled with smiles. He motioned Ning'er to look down and whispered, "I'll explain it to you later. Look at her."

Ning'er subconsciously followed his gaze and saw Ye Zhen, who was originally wandering under the tree, had walked to the gate of the Marquis' courtyard at some point. She hesitated for a moment and ultimately did not choose to go in.

Instead, he looked around the courtyard wall and even went back to the tree where they were hiding. Ning'er's heart was slightly lifted.

Fortunately, the tree was tall and dense, and it was night, so even Ye Zhen couldn't see any clues at first.

She seemed to be very concerned about her companion in black. She looked worriedly in the direction he was chasing, and waited for a while before turning around and leaving.

Ning Er looked at her figure and said in surprise: "She went in after all!" She turned her head to look at Chu Huan: "She discovered us earlier, didn't she?"

Chu Huan was much taller than her. When they stood together, he had to bend down when talking, which made him look like a child.

Chu Huan didn't know what she was thinking, so he just shook his head: "No, she discovered me at that time."

Ning Er looked up at him: "So it was Han Guang who led that person away?"

Chu Huan said: "Yes, Han Guang's Qinggong is excellent. If he attacks, that person will definitely not be able to catch up."

Ning'er's tone was a little depressed: "I didn't expect that it was Aunt Ye who set the fire behind the scenes."

Chu Huan's hands exerted a little force. From a distance, it looked like he was holding Ning'er in his arms. He said softly, "Are you unhappy?"

Ning'er's eyes revealed confusion: "No, I'm just shocked. She looks so gentle and kind, but she is so cruel behind my back."

Chu Huan lowered his eyes and looked at Ning'er: "She is very smart. Although such a person with ulterior motives may not harm you, there is no guarantee that they will not use you. It is better to stay away from her."

He stroked her hair lovingly and sighed, "Moreover, most people in this world are hypocritical and say one thing but mean another. How many good children like Ning'er are there in this world who are so open-minded and have a pure heart?"

His undisguised praise made Ning'er blush in the dark: "How can I be as good as you say?"

Chu Huan laughed softly and said, "Why not? Otherwise, why would everyone like you?"

Ning'er's cheeks were burning hot: "You, you are not allowed to talk nonsense!"

Standing on the tree together, the two were so close that Ning'er could clearly feel the slight vibration in Chu Huan's chest when he laughed.

He laughed enough and lowered his head to look at her. From this angle, Ning'er's eyebrows and eyes looked particularly unique, with a hint of sharpness in her charm.

He stared at her quietly for a moment, but then slowly added: "But sometimes, I wish you weren't so nice."

"Ning'er, even if you are a little bit worse, I will take good care of you."

At this time, the breeze blew the leaves, the clouds disappeared and the moon came out, scattering silver light like silk. Ning'er didn't speak for a long time, but she approached Chu Huan little by little. The faint breath with a cold fragrance filled her five senses and calmed her heart.

She suddenly grabbed Chu Huan's hand and whispered, "Can you take me to Xixiyuan? The people imprisoned there may know the whereabouts of my mother."

Her hands were so soft, yet extremely firm. She looked into his eyes so delicately yet stubbornly, making Chu Huan completely unable to resist.

He stretched out his hand to push aside a branch, and with his other hand he gently lifted Ning'er up: "Did you see it?"

Ning'er looked westward and saw that the black smoke in the air was gradually dying out. Her eyes lit up: "Is the fire almost out?"

Chu Huan said: "That's right. We'll just watch here. When the fire is out, I'll take you over."

Ning Er inexplicably felt apologetic, and she couldn't help but ask, "Why did you agree? You clearly didn't want to..."

Through the gaps between the trees, the cold white moonlight shone on Chu Huan's face. He suddenly smiled brightly, and his radiance in that instant was so stunning that even the bright moon and stars could not resist him.

His voice was soft and gentle, but it was full of seriousness, as if he was afraid that she would not believe it: "Ning'er, I promise you. I will agree to whatever you want to do as long as it does not hurt yourself. It's just..."

At that moment, Chu Huan's eyes revealed deep sorrow: "You also promise me that you will never put yourself in danger, okay?"

The unmistakable regret made Ning'er unable to say a word of "no". She couldn't help but cover his eyes with her hands: "Don't be sad."

Chu Huan blinked, and his thick and long eyelashes were like butterfly wings, gently brushing across her palm. He spoke in a low and hoarse voice for a long time before he replied, "Okay."

------

Ning'er didn't expect that what Chu Huan said about taking her there actually meant passing through the roofs and treetops.

She could only sit in his arms like she did last time, hugging Chu Huan's neck tightly, allowing him to carry her around like a child.

She whispered in his ear: "Didn't they say Han Guang's Qinggong is good?"

Chu Huan laughed softly: "I am indeed a little worse than him." Ning'er sat in his arms, as light as a feather: "It's just that carrying you is like holding a cat, it's really not a burden."

Ning Er felt that he was making fun of her, so she turned her head away and said nothing. After a long while, she asked, "Then why didn't you allow Han Guang to bring me here before?"

Chu Huan brought her to the rooftop of a courtyard closest to Xixiyuan, and then he gently put her down: "The fire was not out at that time, and the thick smoke would choke you. Your heart and lungs are still weak, and you can't stand it."

From here, one can almost overlook the entire fire scene. Ning Er hurriedly asked, "What's going on now?"

Chu Huan took out a copper flute-like object from his arm, opened it in front of his eyes, and did not forget to explain to Ning'er: "This is a telescope."

After debugging, he handed the telescope to Ning'er and asked her to see for herself: "The fire has been completely put out, and the military department has sent people in to search. The whereabouts of the person you are looking for will be known soon."

Ning'er opened her eyes wide. The magical telescope presented everything that happened in the yard so clearly before her.

The firefighters' heads and faces were covered in black ash as they went in and out, trying to clear a path through the fire.

Ning Er was terrified, afraid of seeing Liu Kui's body, and also afraid that there was no one inside. After looking for a while, she stuffed the telescope into Chu Huan's hand and turned her back: "Help me watch."

Chu Huan laughed, but took the telescope without complaint. Suddenly, he called Ning'er: "Come here!"
