When she heard that there was meat to eat, the child immediately felt that the pastries in her hands didn’t smell good anymore!

She recalled the last time in the Bai Manor, Ye Siming had roasted a delicious bird for her.

It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When she took a bite, her mouth was filled with the feeling of fresh and tender juice and shredded meat…

Gu Nuo’er silently put the beef pastries aside.

She rubbed her small body against the carriage and jumped off by herself.

“Oh, Elder Brother Siming, I feel that the mountain is very slippery. You have to have someone to support you. It’s better for me to go with you!”

When Ye Siming heard this, he looked up and raised his long eyebrows with a cold smile.

“You’re going to support me? I’m afraid you’ll fall first. Wait for me here. I promise I’ll be back soon.”

However, at the thought of entering the mountains to play, Gu Nuo’er didn’t want to wait here at all.

She blinked pitifully, her eyes dark and lively, her fair face filled with grievance.

“Elder Brother Siming, do you despise Nuo’er’s legs for being short? You don’t want to bring me along to play with you anymore… Then, when I go into the mountains with you, you can walk while I’ll run. I’ll definitely be able to catch up with you. Is that alright?”

Gu Nuo’er placed her small hands on the carriage walls and knocked pitifully.

Her two small feet also swayed back and forth uneasily and innocently.

When Ye Siming saw this, he frowned and wanted to refuse.

The mountains were dark and gloomy. He could walk on the terrain as if it was flat ground, but the child might not be able to.

If she were to fall and get hurt, she would definitely cry her heart out.

However, Gu Nuo’er looked at him with her big watery eyes, looking weak and helpless.

In the end, Ye Siming sighed calmly. “You can come with me, but you have to listen to me and not run around.”

“Alright!”

The child ran to his side.

She took the initiative to extend her small hand. “Elder Brother Siming, hold hands. Then we won’t get separated!!”

Seeing that she was so obedient and cute, Ye Siming pursed his thin lips into an extremely faint smile.

Then, he wrapped his palm around Gu Nuo’er’s small hand and brought her up the mountain.

At the same time, somewhere in the mountains.

Xue Yumeng’s father got up covered in mud. There were a few assassins dressed in bandit clothing following behind him.

They were all in a sorry state because they were all lying in ambush on the mountain, preparing to assassinate the little princess when the emperor was hunting!

However, heavy rain suddenly came. In fact, the tree behind the spot they were hiding was suddenly struck by lightning and collapsed!

It even smashed to death one of the assassins who came with them!

The leader of the assassins had a fierce face and a terrifying scar at the corner of his eye.

He spat out a mouthful of mud. “Lord Xue, at first, we didn’t expect the mission to be so difficult. Now, we’ve already lost a brother before we even made a move. This time, we’ll have to increase the price.”

Lord Xue wiped the rain off his face. “I can pay more, but you guys have to get the matter done well. Don’t always be thinking that it is very easy to assassinate the princess.

“Princess Yaoguang is known as a little girl who is doted on even by the heavens. His Majesty has even planted many powerful guards around her. If you guys don’t succeed, I won’t give you a single cent!”

The head assassin gritted his teeth and cursed Lord Xue for being a hypocrite in his heart.

If it wasn’t for the fact that they had been short of money recently and couldn’t get jobs anywhere else, and that Lord Xue had offered them a high price, they wouldn’t be willing to take the risk!

Assassinating the princess might sound easy, but if they weren’t careful and were captured by the emperor, they would be dismembered!

Therefore, the head assassin also had his own plans.

If they saw that the situation was not right, they could just kill Lord Xue, snatch the money from him, and escape. At that time, no one would be able to capture them.

The few of them packed up briefly and walked down the mountain path.

At this moment, Ye Siming was holding Gu Nuo’er’s hand and walking up the mountain.
