Chapter 188 Lingyu is the property of the previous emperor
Zhao Guoan said seriously, "Xiao Xizi, for the next three days, you will accompany Miss Wang to explore the capital. You only need to treat me once a day."
"Yes, I obey your command!" Xiao Xizi bowed and responded.
"You must do your best to protect Miss Wang. If anything goes wrong, I will never forgive you easily!" When he said the last few words, Zhao Guoan's tone became obviously much heavier.
Hearing the emperor's solemn order, Xiao Xizi did not dare to be negligent. He immediately knelt on the ground with his forehead pressed against the ground and replied, "Yes, I will obey your command!"
Zhao Guoan then added, "When Miss Wang returns, you will go with her and protect her along the way. Once you arrive in Nanhu County, you will stay by the Crown Prince's side to ensure his safety. Remember?"
Xiao Xizi kowtowed again, his attitude extremely respectful and pious: "Yes, I obey your command! Even if it costs me my life, I will definitely protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the death. Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
After coming out of the imperial study, Xiao Xizi followed Wang Xinyao and drove the horse, slowly moving towards the outside of the palace.
Since the person going out this time was Xiao Xizi, and he had a token that allowed him to enter and leave the palace freely, when they arrived at the palace gate, the imperial guards who were in charge of guarding the palace just took a quick look and let them pass without even checking them too much.
After exiting the palace gate, Xiao Xizi lowered his voice and said to Wang Xinyao, "Miss Wang, my godfather asked me to tell you that we must go to the T-shaped room of the restaurant first. He is already waiting there!"
Wang Xinyao was slightly startled when she heard this, and asked suspiciously, "Him? Which him?"
"That's exactly the guy Miss Wang has in mind!" Xiao Xizi answered softly.
Hearing this, Wang Xinyao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her heart was filled with complicated emotions.
On the one hand, she felt extremely excited and happy because she was about to meet the person she had been thinking about.
On the other hand, she began to worry that he might encounter various unexpected changes after arriving in the capital.
These conflicting emotions intertwined together, making her extremely anxious for a moment.
"Xiao Xizi, hurry up!" Wang Xinyao came back to her senses and anxiously urged Xiao Xizi's father-in-law.
Xiao Xizi responded and hurriedly waved the whip to drive the carriage to speed up.
The wheels rolled forward, raising a cloud of dust. Not long after, the carriage finally stopped steadily in front of the restaurant. The waiter quickly stepped forward to take the reins and put the carriage in place.
Fortunately, the room she had rented before had not been vacated. Wang Xinyao hurriedly got off the carriage, walked quickly into the restaurant, and went straight to her residence.
Along the way, her steps seemed a little hurried, she couldn't wait to see him quickly.
Zhao Haoxuan's room was right next to hers. Wang Xinyao asked Xiao Xizi to keep watch outside, and she carefully walked to Zhao Haoxuan's door while no one was paying attention, and knocked on it.
Following a slight knock on the door, footsteps were heard from inside the house gradually approaching the door.
Then, the door slowly opened. At this moment, the two people's eyes met, as if time had frozen at this moment.
After a while, Wang Xinyao was the first to speak: "You're here?"
There was a hint of joy and anticipation in his tone that was hard to conceal.
Zhao Haoxuan nodded slightly in response: "Yes, I'm here!"
His voice was low and magnetic. Although it was only three simple words, the emotions contained in them were extremely deep.
For a moment, both of them were silent, just staring into each other's eyes silently. Thousands of words seemed to be expressed in this silent gaze.
However, from their eyes, one can clearly see the endless worry and deep longing for each other.
After a while, Zhao Haoxuan quickly closed the door, fearing that someone else would suddenly break in and discover them.
After entering the room, Zhao Haoxuan finally couldn't contain the surging joy in his heart, and excitedly said to Wang Xinyao, "Xinyao, I'm glad you're okay! These days, I've been worried about your safety all the time."
Faced with Zhao Haoxuan's sincere and warm care, Wang Xinyao couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart.
He came for her, and once again put himself in danger for her.
A hint of worry appeared on her face, and she said softly, "Brother Zhao, you shouldn't have come! It's too dangerous here. If someone finds us..."
Before he could finish his words, he was already choking with sobs.
Zhao Haoxuan quickly stretched out his hands, tightly grasped Wang Xinyao's shoulders, and gave her a firm and comforting look.
He said gently, "Xinyao, don't worry. I've already reached the peak of the Martial King realm, and I'm only one step away from breaking through to the Martial Emperor realm. Even if you really encounter any danger, I will do my best to protect you."
Hearing this, Wang Xinyao's eyes widened in surprise, and then she said with joy: "Ah? That's great! Brother Zhao, you are really amazing!"
I didn’t expect Zhao Haoxuan’s cultivation speed to be so incredible, it’s beyond imagination!
In comparison, he was still immersed in the joy of finally breaking through to the eighth level of the spiritual realm, feeling complacent.
What's more, this breakthrough was also due to a rare opportunity specially granted by the Zhao royal family.
However, even with such an opportunity, the gap between him and Zhao Haoxuan was still getting bigger and bigger, as if he had left him far behind and it was difficult for him to catch up!
"However, I'm still a little scared. What if..." At this point, her expression suddenly became solemn.
Seeing this, Zhao Haoxuan hurriedly comforted her, "Xinyao, don't worry, I will be very cautious!"
Wang Xinyao suddenly remembered something, and took out the spiritual jade that the Queen Mother had personally given her from the ring space!
She handed the jade to Zhao Haoxuan and said softly, "Brother Zhao, this jade is a generous gift from your grandmother. Now I am passing it on to you!"
Hearing this, Zhao Haoxuan was extremely shocked. In a moment, his heart was filled with joy like a vast ocean.
He took the spiritual jade and examined it carefully. "Xinyao, so you have already met my Royal Grandmother. I believe that Royal Grandmother favors you very much, so she specially gave you such a precious gift. You should know that this spiritual jade was given to my Royal Grandmother by my Royal Grandfather before he traveled. He once said that spiritual jade can be given to those who are destined to receive it!"
Wang Xinyao was shocked. She didn't expect that this spiritual jade belonged to the previous emperor.
Then she recounted in detail how Empress Dowager Luo Lan had suddenly suffered from severe abdominal pain.
Zhao Haoxuan's face darkened instantly after hearing this. He frowned and asked, "Are you saying that the things that the Empress Dowager brought in were sent by my uncle and Concubine Yin?"
