Although Gu Nuo’er was young, she ran as fast as a gust of wind.
However, the man in front who had stolen the jade pendant was not slow either.
He seemed to be in a panic and darted into a narrow alley.
A sly smile appeared on Gu Nuo’er’s round face from running.
“This is a dead end. Let’s see how you can get out after coming in!”
It was as she had said.
The man ran in but realized that there was no way out!
He stood with his back facing Gu Nuo’er, still holding black jade pendant.
The child reached out her hand and raised her eyebrows calmly. “Give it back.
Otherwise, my small fists aren’t to be trifled with!”
The strange thing was that the man didn’t look flustered.
Instead, he panted for a while. With his back facing Gu Nuo’er, he suddenly asked in a deep voice, “Your Highness, do you still remember that you let an assassin off in the past?”
Gu Nuo’er was stunned and blinked her black and round eyes.
She scratched her face with her small hand and thought for a long time. “Oh, there seem to be a lot of them. Who are you talking about?”
The man slowly turned around.
The narrow alley blocked the sun, making his eyes look calm and deep cold.
“Your Highness, I’m Ren Chao, the person who was sent to prison for helping the Huang Family assassinate you, but in the end, you gave me a way out.”
When Gu Nuo’er saw his face, she immediately remembered.
“Wow, it’s Elder Brother Ren Chao!”
She remembered that back then, in order to incite the Ren Dynasty to rebel…
The child had indeed let him go.
It had been more than a year and Ren Chao had appeared again.
“Elder Brother Ren Chao, did you deliberately snatch my cousin’s jade pendant to lure me here?”
Gu Nuo’er placed her hands behind her back and asked leisurely and softly, “Could it be that you’re here this time to repay kindness with ingratitude?”
However, Ren Chao suddenly knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Gu Nuo’er. “On the day Your Highness let me go, this subordinate swore to be loyal to you to the death. The reason this subordinate came back this time is to remind Your Highness to be careful of the dangerous jackals, tigers, and leopards around you!”
Gu Nuo’er covered her mouth with her small hand and subconsciously let out a ‘wow’.
However, she didn’t look afraid at all.
Elder Brother Ren Chao was right!
Wasn’t there a wolf beside her?
Ren Chao’s voice was low and fast. “Back then, the Huang Family wasn’t as simple as they seemed on the surface. There was another expert guiding them from behind.
Gu Nuo’er’s eyes were black and her voice was soft. “Continue.”
“In the beginning, I was arranged by a young master called ‘Young Master Lin
Ya’ to serve Lord Huang.”
“Lin Ya?” Gu Nuo’er’s small face was filled with confusion.
She searched her entire brain but didn’t think that there was such a person in the imperial court.
“It’s normal for Your Highness to not know about this person. This is because even this subordinate who is loyal to him has never seen his true face. Every time we communicate, we do it through letters.”
Gu Nuo’er pouted. “He is so cautious?”
“Yes,” Ren Chao nodded. “He’s very cautious. The people who come to deliver the letters each time don’t know him. They only know to send this letter to me.
“I rarely reply because every time he writes a letter, he will give an order directly. I just have to do as he says and then wait for him to contact me next time.”
Gu Nuo’er pinched her chin and pondered.
Her watery eyes narrowed, glistening.
“Oh, he sounds like a very cunning and arbitrary person. Did he give you a new order to kill me when you came back this time?”
Ren Chao didn’t comment.
“After Your Highness let this subordinate leave, this subordinate has been recuperating in Handeng Town, which is 50 kilometers away from the capital..”
