Yun Ran sat on the top of the wall, and her first thought was:
Another assassin attempt on Nangong Mo?!
Is he alright? Is he unharmed?
Then, without much time to think, Yun Ran pushed the burlap sack off the wall, her figure flashed and transformed into a gust of wind, rushing toward the nearest team of guards.
Someone among the guards noticed her, "The assassin is over there... Uh... Princess?!"
Yun Ran couldn’t care less and grabbed a guard, urgently asking, "Where is Nangong Mo? Is he alright? Is he injured?"
The guard glanced at her and replied respectfully, "Princess, rest assured, the assassin failed. His Highness is fine, unharmed."
After triple-confirming, Yun Ran’s heart slowly calmed down.
At this moment, a guard asked the question everyone was pondering:
"Princess, why are you wearing night attire? And appearing in this place?"
This northern wall of the mansion is terribly far from Tingxue Pavilion, her appearing here is indeed abnormal...
Why did she suddenly get impulsive...
Surely, beauty confuses a person and causes irrational behavior!
Feeling inner tears, Yun Ran outwardly maintained a composed and elegant demeanor:
"I went out for a walk, accidentally got lost, and ended up here."
"As for this, it’s actually just a regular outfit that looks like night attire. The Lord likes wearing white clothes, right? Black-and-white coordination, got it?"
The guards nodded in bewilderment, "Got it!"
"By the way, I just saw a shadow flash by over there. Quickly go over and check."
Though the guards were skeptical, they still cooperated.
Seven or eight pursued in the direction Yun Ran pointed, while two stayed behind, "Princess, we’ll escort you back to Tingxue Pavilion."
Return to Tingxue Pavilion? Her beloved burlap sack was still lying by the wall corner waiting for her!
"No need, you two also go chase the assassin. Their target is Nangong Mo, I won’t be in danger."
Just at that moment, two elegant dog barks pierced through the endless night and reached everyone’s ears.
Sound localization, that dog... the direction?
Yun Ran spun around and looked towards the wall corner, suddenly feeling dizzy, nearly collapsing on the ground.
Nangong Mo with that dog... and, the two black-clad guards beside him were carrying her beloved burlap sack...
[Quickly put down that bag and let me do it!]
Yun Ran seemed to hear her poor sack calling for her help...
Running like a whirlwind, she reached Nangong Mo in the blink of an eye, "Lord, what’s this? This sack? You all..."
Feng Xuan immediately responded, "Princess, thanks to Bai finding this sack in time, it has recovered a loss for the mansion."
The dog arrogantly tilted its chin, baring its teeth at her, the expression seemed haughty and smug!
Yun Ran cast a sinister glance over:
[You’re the one who discovered my beloved sack?! Not wanting your dog head anymore, huh?]
"This... Guard Feng, isn’t there a misunderstanding? What mansion loss?"
"Well, Princess, tonight the assassins massively attacked, not only attempting to assassinate His Highness but also looted the mansion’s vault, stealing a large amount of goods. The contents of this bag are part of it."
Not even storybooks dare to create such tales, huh?
She considered herself well-read, but at the moment, couldn’t find a suitable term to describe this feeling...
