A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 849 - 747: His Majesty Is in Danger of Life_2
"How could this happen?"
Yun Kuo incredulously rubbed his eyes, blinked, and continued to stare at Xiaosuisui. No mistake, he was not seeing things. Xiaosuisui’s eyes were purple, not just purple; her face and aura had also become quite indistinct.
"Come out!"
Suddenly, Yun Kuo heard Xiaosuisui shout with a commanding tone.
"Who are you asking to come out?
Is there someone else here?"
Yun Kuo questioned in confusion.
Yet he did not receive an answer from Xiaosuisui and was once again stunned.
Because at this moment, the purple in Xiaosuisui’s eyes instantly gathered into a beam of light, shooting straight into the sky, disappearing in a blink.
Yun Kuo was utterly astonished. What kind of magic is this?
Where did Xiaosuisui learn this from?
An array of questions surged through Yun Kuo’s mind in an instant.
"Phew! Finally got this gu insect out!"
The purple in Xiaosuisui’s eyes disappeared, and suddenly a gu insect appeared in the bamboo tube she held.
Meanwhile, Niuniu, who lay on the ground, was as pale as a sheet.
"All... all done?"
Yun Kuo was astounded, surveying Xiaosuisui up and down.
"How did you do it?"
Xiaosuisui giggled, saw the bamboo tube away, and stored it into the mystical sleeves, then said, "I have a secret."
"What secret?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Yun Kuo hurriedly inquired!
Xiaosuisui giggled, showing her teeth without baring her eyes, "I can’t tell you now!"
Yun Kuo: "..."
"Alright, let’s hurry back! Otherwise, His Majesty and the Seventh Uncle will be worried."
Yun Kuo got up, picked up the little Niuniu from the ground, and exclaimed in surprise, "You’ve already applied medicine to her?"
Xiaosuisui said, "The burn from the Phoenix Fire is no less severe than others; it must be treated quickly, which is why I dared not delay at the Nanjiang military camp and brought her along."
Yun Kuo: "..." Is this child really only five years old?
"Can her burn recover as it was before?"
Xiaosuisui shook her head, "It’s already good she could snatch her life back."
She casually hung the Soul-Calling Bell, which she hadn’t used, around her neck.
"Let’s go back quickly! I have a feeling something might happen tonight."
Yun Kuo laughed and said, "Not enough is happening tonight? Many have narrowly escaped death."
Xiaosuisui said nothing more and took the lead on the way back to town.
"Uncle Yun Kuo, you walk behind. If there’s danger ahead, I’ll go first!"
Her cocky little manner amused Yun Kuo.
"Okay, okay! Let the world’s greatest Xiaosuisui walk ahead, I’ll be behind, letting you protect me!"
The uncle and niece chatted and laughed all the way, reaching the city gate, when Yun Kuo called her to stop from afar.
"What’s wrong?"
Xiaosuisui looked at him in confusion.
Yun Kuo said: "We’ll use teleportation spells here to enter the city. If we walked directly and asked someone to open the gate, it would alarm those Nanjiang soldiers."
Yun Kuo’s words made Xiaosuisui suddenly understand.
"Makes sense."
Then she asked in puzzlement again.
"Why aren’t they attacking the city?
You see, these Nanjiang soldiers haven’t had food. Even from afar, I can hear their stomachs growling!"
These words of Xiaosuisui made Yun Kuo puzzled as well.
He couldn’t help but frown, pondering, "There are over ten thousand Nanjiang soldiers, and General Dugu’s defending soldiers are only three to four thousand. Logically, if they attacked with force, breaking into Yunhang County shouldn’t be a problem!
But why would Mo’Er rather let his soldiers starve than attack the city?
Unless..."
Yun Kuo suddenly fell silent after saying this.
Xiaosuisui quickly asked, "Unless what?"
"Unless they’re waiting."
"Waiting for what?"
"Waiting for an opportunity to enter Yunhang County without force!"
When Yun Kuo analyzed this, a flash of inspiration struck him, sending shivers through his body.
"What kind of opportunity would allow them to enter Yunhang County without force?"
Xiaosuisui tilted her head in confusion and asked Yun Kuo.
"Why are you looking at me?
I don’t understand these military matters; instead of staring at me here, why not hurry back to Yunhang and ask your majesty and your Uncle Seventh?"
Xiaosuisui blinked multiple times, her face showing a sudden realization, "You’re right, let’s hurry back and tell His Majesty and Uncle Seventh this discovery; they’ll surely have a way to resolve it!"
As soon as Xiaosuisui finished speaking, she took a deep breath and flew away.
Yun Kuo stood there, his mouth twitching uncontrollably, "At least take me with you as you fly! Using profound power to teleport is very exhausting."
Despite Xiaosuisui flying back all the way, she was still a step late, because of lingering at the military camp outside the city, and specifically finding a small hill to remove the gu insect from Niuniu.
Thus, they had spent most of the night outside.
By the time they returned to the city, it was already midnight.
As soon as Xiaosuisui jumped into the city gate, she sensed something was amiss.
Torches, many torches.
A lot of imperial guards were wielding torches, knocking on the doors of pharmacies one after another.
Seeing this scene made Xiaosuisui bewildered, she leapt down, a few strides bringing her before one of the imperial guards, and she asked directly.
"What are you doing? Why are you knocking on people’s doors everywhere?"
This imperial guard happened to be a palace guard in charge of protecting the Emperor during court. He recognized Xiaosuisui, the Princess.
"Princess, how are you here?"
Xiaosuisui didn’t have time to answer his question but asked hers again.
"Never mind why I’m here.
Answer my question first!"
The palace guard couldn’t talk to Xiaosuisui because the pharmacy’s main door was opened from the inside.
"Who are you looking for?"
A small old man came out from the pharmacy, his beard mostly white.
"Are you the doctor?
Get your doctor to come with us!"
Hearing this, the small old man promptly said, "I am the doctor; who are you and what do you want with a doctor?"
"You’re the doctor? That’s great, come with me!"
The imperial guard seized the old doctor’s collar and turned to head toward the county yamen.
Xiaosuisui hurriedly followed, inquiring again what had happened?
"Princess, please ask no more. I need to hurry back to the county yamen. If I’m late, the Emperor’s life might be in danger."
