Xuanchen was surprised that His Highness was only angry and didn't order his men to feed her to the Sky Pivot.
She had just touched His Highness …
Even if he didn't feed her to the Sky Pivot, he should have chopped off her hand. That was the right way to deal with His Highness. What was wrong with His Highness?
"Wow!"
The crowd in front suddenly let out low gasps. The assassins had already removed Yan Luan's hair and her clothes were a little loose. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was a girl.
Once Yan Luan's identity was exposed, the assassins retreated.
She stood in the middle of the crowd with an ugly expression on her face and looked a little embarrassed.
"Isn't that the Ninth Prince? How did he become a girl? "The people standing far away pointed at Yan Luan and whispered.
Yan Luan clenched her fists and her eyes were full of hatred. She looked around and saw Yan Qiu's carriage. Shi Sheng was standing next to the carriage. How could she not see him?
This woman said that she wasn't one of the Seventh Prince's people, but now she was standing next to his carriage … Yan Luan's eyes were full of murderous intent.
Yan Qiu's carriage appeared at such a coincidence. These assassins were completely different from the ones from a few days ago. They were obviously here to expose her identity.
Yan Qiu …
Yan Luan took the cloak from one of her men with a dark expression. She quickly put it on and hurriedly left this place.
"How do you think she will resolve this crisis?" Shi Sheng leaned close to the window.
No one in the carriage responded. Shi Sheng persisted and said, "If you just stand there, she will definitely know that you did it. Do you want to fall out with her?"
There was still no response from the carriage. Shi Sheng was helpless. This person seemed to have a lot of problems.
"Hongjin, don't forget that you are here now." Xuanchen reminded her.
"Yes, so what?" Shi Sheng asked indifferently. Then he boasted shamelessly, "Do you think I'm afraid of her? Even if ten more Yan Luans came, they might not be able to do anything to me. "
I am a big boss who will fight head-on!
Xuanchen: "…" In the past, he thought that His Highness was arrogant enough to make people want to strangle him. Now, compared to this woman, His Highness was really too cute.
…
Shi Sheng soon found out how Yan Luan had resolved this crisis. Before the rumour had spread, Yan Luan had created an even bigger piece of news to prove that she hadn't been there at the time.
That person was an imposter.
Fortunately, Yan Luan did not bring any familiar faces with her. In the end, she even made a move.
Everyone knew that Yan Luan was a sickly person who didn't even know any martial arts, let alone martial arts. Therefore, Yan Luan accidentally fooled the ordinary people.
However, the other people in the dark were definitely not so easy to fool. As long as they did not have the chance to get hold of her weakness, she would be fine.
"Eh, Your Highness, did you miscalculate?" Shi Sheng was sprawled across the table, copying the so-called Buddhist scriptures in a crooked manner as she spoke to the man in the distance.
"The seeds of suspicion have been planted. Someone will deal with her."
"Troublesome," Shi Sheng pursed his lips. "Why don't you just kill her directly? Why do you have to set up such a complicated trap?"
Yan Qiu looked at the calm surface of the lake. His voice was like the calm lake water. "Because I've been living in a trap."
Shi Sheng looked up. The man was standing at the edge of the pavilion, his golden robe fluttering in the wind. His back view looked a little lonely and desolate.
Yan Qiu turned around, his face still languid. He said softly, "You're standing outside the trap. If you make one wrong move, it doesn't matter. You can do it again. But I'm inside the trap. If I make one wrong move, I'll lose everything. I can't afford to lose. "
Shi Sheng put down his pen. She met his gaze and said seriously, "From the moment I came to your side, I've been inside the trap. Even if you have the worst chess game, I can turn it around for you. Yan Qiu, do you trust me? "
…
Yan Qiu, do you trust me?
Yan Qiu rocked the rocking chair. This sentence kept circling in his mind. He should be wary of her, but he couldn't be ruthless. This was the first time … he couldn't be ruthless.
When she asked him this question, he didn't answer.
Because he didn't know the answer either.
If he didn't trust her, why did he keep her by his side? He didn't even keep his guard up around her.
If he trusted her, why couldn't he say it out loud?
Yan Qiu covered his eyes. Why did he always tell her some things inadvertently? Why …
Was it really as she said, that they were fated to be together for three lifetimes? Was she really here to look for him?
"Your Highness, it's late. You should rest." Xuan Chen entered the room. Seeing that Yan Qiu was still awake, he couldn't help but remind him.
"Xuan Chen." Yan Qiu removed his hand from his eyes. He sounded a little tired. "I'm really tired."
Xuan Chen was startled. "Your Highness?"
Yan Qiu rocked the rocking chair gently. The dim light shone on his face, as though it was coated with a layer of warm light. "But I don't have a way out. The road ahead is a grave, and the road behind is an abyss. What do you think I should do?"
Xuan Chen clenched his fists.
Yan Qiu waved his hand. "You can leave."
"Your Highness, are you thinking of retreating?" Xuan Chen looked at Yan Qiu boldly.
Yan Qiu was stunned. So this was called retreating.
He lowered his eyes and muttered almost inaudibly, "I'm also just one person."
No matter how hard an armor was, it was still just an armor. It could equip the body, but it couldn't equip the heart. It could equip strength, but it couldn't equip despair and helplessness.
"Your Highness isn't just one person." Xuan Chen suddenly knelt down and swore. "Xuan Chen will follow Your Highness forever."
"You can leave."
"… Yes."
Xuan Chen left the room. A gust of night wind blew past the courtyard. The leaves rustled and the shadows of the trees danced in the courtyard. The nights that he didn't feel cold in the past were especially chilly tonight. His back was covered in a layer of cold sweat.
…
Yan Qiu somehow walked to the courtyard where Shi Sheng lived. When the guards outside saw him, they wanted to kneel down and greet him. Yan Qiu gestured for them not to make a sound and entered the courtyard quietly.
There was only one room in the courtyard that was lit. He walked over slowly. There seemed to be a voice in his heart that was clamoring to see her.
It was as though seeing her could calm his agitated state of mind.
Yan Qiu reached out to knock on the door, but he didn't manage to do so. What did he say to her?
Yan Qiu stood there for a while. In the end, he didn't knock on the door and turned to leave.
Just as he walked to the middle of the courtyard, a black figure suddenly jumped in from the other side of the wall. From the figure and the cold gleam of the sword, he knew who that person was.
"Eh, Your Highness, why are you standing here?" Shi Sheng came over from the other side and approached him curiously. "Or, did you miss me?"
Yan Qiu suddenly felt embarrassed. He panicked as though he had been caught red-handed. He turned slightly to the side and used the shadow to hide the unnatural expression on his face. He said coldly, "I said before that you're not allowed to leave the residence without my permission. Where did you go in the middle of the night?"
