Li Shiyan felt that he was too late.
He was doomed to be hopeless.
Even if it was five years ago!
Or five years later!
It was impossible for the two of them to be together.
But …
Who is that man? Why is Shu 'er hugging him?
Jing Rong, who was tightly hugged by Ji Yunshu, suddenly sensed an unfamiliar aura coming from the surroundings. His pupils constricted and his expression became stern. He tilted his head and his gaze fell on a pillar not far from them. He could faintly see a silhouette standing there.
"Someone's here!"
He pushed Ji Yunshu away and pulled her behind him. Then, he unsheathed his sword and thrust it towards Li Shiyan's chest. His speed was extremely fast. The sword's edge flashed with silver light as it stabbed towards Li Shiyan's chest. Li Shiyan suddenly came to his senses. However, the speed of the person approaching him was too fast. He didn't have any time to dodge. He could only risk his life. His entire body leaned to the side. However, he still didn't have enough time. That sword ruthlessly pierced into his arm.
It was directly pierced through. He was forced to retreat again and again by that force. Finally, he crashed into a wall behind him before stopping.
"Ugh!"
The sharp pain from his arm was equivalent to taking his life. In the next moment, Jing Rong quickly pulled out his sword.
"Ah!" Li Shiyan let out a heart-wrenching scream. He knelt down on one knee and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The blood from his arm was also splattered on the ground.
Jing Rong stood in front of him and pressed the blood-stained sword against Li Shiyan's neck.
He questioned, "Who are you?" Li Shiyan's body lost its strength, and he gasped for breath. A mouthful of blood covered his black mask, smearing his entire face with blood. He tightly clutched his bleeding arm, and struggled to raise his head, only to see that standing in front of him was a person wearing half a mask.
The man's entire body was emitting an oppressive aura, causing people to tremble in fear.
Li Shiyan asked, "You … Who … Who are you?"
This was the first time Jing Rong encountered such an assassin.
He was obviously the one who broke into the Su Residence wearing black clothes, but he still dared to ask who he was!
He was too arrogant!
Jing Rong narrowed his eyes. "If you don't tell me, I will kill you!"
Jing Rong's wrist tightened, and the sword in his hand pressed against Li Shiyan's neck, causing some blood to flow.
As long as he moved his hand, he could take this man's life in an instant.
Suddenly …
"Stop!" Ji Yunshu walked over with quick steps. She looked down at the 'assassin', who was dressed in black and had his face covered. She felt that the 'assassin's' eyes were very familiar. After taking a closer look, she suddenly exclaimed in shock, "Heir?"
Li Shiyan?
When Jing Rong heard these two words, he immediately sheathed his sword. He knew the heir. In the past three years, he would come to the Su residence every few days. He was a classic example of a sticky candy.
Why was he here?
And dressed like this?
Li Shiyan couldn't take it anymore. His whole body directly fell to the ground.
"Crown prince?" Ji Yunshu crouched down to support him. She took off the black mask covering his face. His face was dyed red with blood. "Heir? Why is it you? How did you … "
When Li Shiyan saw her, he suddenly felt that his whole body was no longer in pain. He grinned and smiled at her, "Shu 'er, I … I finally get to see you."
After saying the last word, he fainted.
Soon, Su Ziluo was alerted. He immediately sent someone to invite a physician into the mansion. He also ordered that no one in the mansion should divulge the matter to avoid alerting the Marquis of Kangding.
Fortunately, that fellow Li Shiyan's life was tough. Although his arm was pierced, he was still safe and sound. The doctor stopped the bleeding, applied medicine, and bandaged the wound one by one. He also poured medicine into his mouth, and only then did he recover.
The physician said, "The wound looks serious, but it's not life-threatening. He will be fine after resting for a while. It's not a big deal."
In the end, he was prescribed a lot of medicine.
Most of them were to replenish the blood.
Li Shiyan sat on the bed and looked at his bandaged arm. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Su Ziluo sat in the room and said, "Your luck is really good. You're fine even in such a situation. From what the physician said, it seems like you were only bitten by a mosquito."
Li Shiyan frowned and pointed at his wrapped arm. He said in an aggrieved tone, "Ziluo, you're too heartless. I'm already in this state. If it weren't for my great fortune, I would've died long ago."
"You won't die yet. Even if you want to die, King Yama may not accept you!"
"You … Why are you still making sarcastic remarks about me? You're really heartless."
Su Ziluo glanced at the nightwear on the side and asked suspiciously, "Why did you come to my mansion dressed like this in the middle of the night?"
Li Shiyan was embarrassed. He smiled and said, "I … I came to see you!"
"Why would I need to dress like this to see you?"
"…"
Su Ziluo also guessed that Li Shiyan came to see Ji Yunshu. He shook his head helplessly and said, "You can't blame Li Chuan for trying to kill you. If it were a soldier, I'm afraid you would have lost your life."
Su Ziluo's tone was very harsh.
Li Shiyan's eyes narrowed. "You're saying … the masked man who wanted to kill me is called Li Chuan? Who is he? I saw him with my own eyes … hugging Shu 'er, she … Li Chuan is Jing Rong, the prince of the Great Lin! " Su Ziluo didn't hide it from him because Li Shiyan was a dog-skin plaster. If he didn't tell him, he was afraid that the incident of him wearing nightwear would happen a second time.
It would be better to tell him directly so that he would know his place and not cause trouble. When he heard that Li Chuan was Jing Rong, Li Shiyan almost jumped out of his bed. His eyes widened in disbelief. "Wait, you're saying … the masked man is Prince Rong? What's going on? Shu 'er is in your mansion, and Prince Rong is also in your mansion.
It's only been a day, but it seems like … I … I feel like I'm in a daze! "
Su Ziluo calmly told him, "Don't ask so many questions. Stay here for the night and quickly return to the mansion tomorrow."
"But I still don't understand!"
"Understanding too much won't do you any good. Today is a lesson for you. Don't make the same mistake again."
"…" Li Shiyan knew he couldn't argue with Su Ziluo, so he gave up and asked, "Where is Shu 'er? I want to see her. "
"What? Did you forget about it? I already said that everything can be discussed tomorrow. If you want to see Miss Ji, you have to wait until tomorrow. "
It seemed that he wouldn't be able to see Ji Yunshu today!
Because he didn't listen to Su Ziluo, he sneaked into the Su mansion at night and ended up being stabbed.
He was stubborn and could only sigh. "Since I can't see Shu 'er today, I'll return first. If my father finds out that I sneaked out, I'm afraid I won't be able to come here again."
"But if you return in this condition, the Marquis will find out."
"You don't have to worry about that. I have a way." Li Shiyan threw off his quilt and got out of bed. "Quickly prepare a carriage to send me back. If my father finds out that I sneaked out, I won't be able to come out for the rest of my life."
He still wanted to see Ji Yunshu!
If his father found out that he sneaked out, he would certainly lock him up here. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see Ji Yunshu even after she left Qujiang.
Su Ziluo saw that Li Shiyan was still able to climb out of bed and was in good spirits. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with him, so he ordered someone to prepare a carriage to send him away.
When Li Shiyan arrived, Su Ziluo went to see Ji Yunshu.
Ji Yunshu worriedly asked, "How is the heir?"
"He's fine. He has already returned to the mansion."
"That's good."
Su Ziluo looked around the room and asked, "What about Li … Jing Rong?"
Ji Yunshu pointed outside. "He's outside."
Su Ziluo was silent for a moment before saying, "Then you should rest well. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
"En!"
On the other side.
Li Shiyan ordered the carriage to send him to the back door. He knocked on the door a few times. Xiao Luzi, who had been waiting inside, was about to fall asleep. He immediately jumped up when he heard the sound. When he opened the door, he saw Li Shiyan standing outside.
"Heir, you're finally back. It's almost midnight."
Li Shiyan deliberately hid his arm behind his back. "I'm fine. Let's go back."
He stepped into the room.
Xiao Luzi closed the door and quickly chased after him. He asked curiously, "Heir, when did you change your clothes? Where's your night suit? "
"I lost it!"
"What about this suit?"
"I borrowed it from the Su mansion."
