The Lord God is kneeling on the washboard again

Chapter 130 Unknown Danger

Not long after, Yun Mohan and Xing Xuanli arrived at the towering gates of Kyoto City. This ancient and majestic gate stood like the mouth of a giant beast, open wide to welcome the comings and goings. The moment they stepped through the gates, a strange feeling washed over them—as if countless eyes were lurking in the shadows, watching them.

The feeling of being spied on caused Yun Mohan to frown slightly. His eyes, as deep as a lake, quickly scanned the surroundings, but he couldn't spot anyone suspicious. However, his vigilance didn't drop even a bit. Beside him, Xing Xuanli was equally perceptive of this unusual presence, and a solemn expression crossed her beautiful face.

The carriage slowly came to a stop before the imposing gate. With a creak, the door was gently pushed open. The butler was already waiting there. He smiled broadly, bowed slightly, and said in the most respectful manner, "Your Highness, Princess, you are back."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) nodded slightly, responded softly, and said no more. Not much emotion could be seen on his stern face, as if all the running around along the way had not caused much waves in his heart.

A smile as gorgeous as a spring flower gently bloomed on Xing Xuanli's beautiful face. She turned her head slightly to look at the butler, and said with a slight smile: "Butler, thank you for your hard work in managing the palace these days." Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like the sound of nature.

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper hurriedly waved his hands, a look of panic on his face, and bowed, saying: "Princess, you are too kind. It is my honor to serve the prince and princess. You must not say that. This is really embarrassing for me!" As he spoke, he glanced at Xing Xuanli, secretly admiring that this princess was not only outstanding in appearance, but also gentle and kind in character, and treated people kindly and amiably. She was truly a rare and virtuous person.

After entering the majestic gate, Yun Mohan turned slightly and waved to the servants behind him, signaling them to come forward. Then, he whispered, "Come here, take the young master and the young princess back to their room to rest.

Upon hearing this, the two maids immediately stepped forward and took the two little babies from Anwu and Anqi's arms.

The night was already as dark as ink, and the sky was dotted with stars, like sparkling gems. The long and bumpy journey, coupled with the wind and dust, had truly taken its toll on the two little ones. Fatigue had already overwhelmed them, and before they even reached the palace, they had both fallen into a deep sleep, their adorable appearance evoked pity.

Night gradually enveloped the earth, and the sky grew darker. After a busy day, everyone's face was filled with unconcealable fatigue. At this moment, Yun Mohan, who had been silent and stern, slowly raised his hand and waved it gently. His deep and sharp eyes swept over the crowd, and in a low but clear voice, he said, "Today's work is over. You have all worked hard. Go down and rest." As he finished speaking, the people around him breathed a sigh of relief, but they still saluted him respectfully before turning and leaving.

After everyone left, Yun Mohan turned and walked towards the inner room. Xing Xuanli followed behind him. She had always felt that Yun Mohan was acting strangely today. Entering the inner room, Yun Mohan walked to the bed and sat down, as if lost in memories. Xing Xuanli approached gently and said softly, "Han, are you worried about something?" Yun Mohan looked up at her, wanting to speak but stopping himself.

Suddenly, in the quiet night, without any warning, a very slight unusual noise came from outside the window. This unusual noise seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet atmosphere.

Yun Mohan's (Nangong Han) gentle eyes suddenly became sharp, like a sword unsheathed. His body moved to the window in an instant like a ghost. Then, he pushed the window open with a clean and neat movement, without any hesitation.

A black carrier pigeon flapped its wings, struggling in the night sky outside the window. Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) looked serious, and without hesitation, he reached out and removed the note from the pigeon's leg. He slowly unfolded the note and, in the dim light of the room, carefully read its contents.

As he read deeper, his expression grew darker, as if enveloped by a thick, dark cloud. His once gentle lines now became cold and resolute.

Xing Xuanli was originally sitting not far away. When she heard the unusual noise outside the window, she couldn't help but feel curious and came over to see what was going on. However, Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) seemed to sense her intentions and quickly put the note away the moment she approached.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) turned around and looked at Xing Xuanli's puzzled eyes. His expression softened instantly. He reached out and gently touched Xing Xuanli's head. The gesture was full of tenderness, as if the coldness just now was just an illusion.

"Li'er, go to bed early." Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) said gently, his voice low and magnetic.

Xing Xuanli nodded. Although she was still a little curious, she also understood that Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) must have his own things to deal with. She said obediently, "Okay, husband, don't be too tired."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) smiled slightly, and that smile was like a spring breeze, making people feel extremely warm. He touched Xing Xuanli's head again, then turned and walked towards the door.

When he reached the door, Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) stopped and looked back at Xing Xuanli, his eyes full of affection and longing. He said, "Li'er, wait for me to come back."

Xing Xuanli looked at Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) leaving with a worried look in her heart. She didn't know what was written on the carrier pigeon.

Soon after, Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) slowly emerged from a hazy cloud, arriving at a mysterious place. His subordinate, Tianxuan, had already been waiting there respectfully. Upon seeing him arrive, he immediately bowed and said, "Your Excellency." His voice was filled with awe and loyalty.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) nodded slightly and asked calmly, "What's the matter?" His eyes fell on Tianxuan, waiting for his answer.

Tianxuan raised his head, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty, the old men in heaven have already noticed the presence of Madam." His voice was a little low, as if he was worried about something.

Upon hearing this, Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) frowned slightly, a complex emotion flashing across his eyes. He was silent for a moment, then spoke, "So what if they notice? I will never let anyone hurt Li'er." His tone was firm and powerful, revealing an unquestionable determination.

Tianxuan nodded and said, "I naturally understand your Majesty's deep affection for Madam. However, those old men in the Heavenly Realm have always regarded Madam as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh. Now that they have realized Madam's existence, I'm afraid they will not let it go." There was a hint of worry in his voice, as if he was worried about Yun Mohan (Nangong Han).

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) sneered and said, "Humph, if they dare to attack me, I will make sure they never return." A cold light flashed in his eyes.
