With Jiu Si's help, Xiahou Qing climbed to the top of the clock tower step by step and stopped in front of Xiao Yunyi.
When he saw the wound on the side of his neck, Xiao Yunyi was stunned and asked worriedly, "What happened to the side of your neck? Are you injured? Is it serious? Do you need me to call an imperial physician to treat your injury? "
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My life is quite smooth and I won't die anytime soon." Xiahou Qing was not in the mood to pretend to be polite with him. He walked to Ning Shu's side, bent down and held her in his arms.
Xiao Yunyi's eyes were dark as he blocked his way and said with a faint smile, "Prince Xiahou, you're injured and it might be difficult for you to hold Shu 'er. Let me do it."
Xiahou Qing's hands were as gentle as he held Ning Shu, but his expression was as cold as when he faced Xiao Yunyan. "If I let you do it, would I give you another chance to hurt her?"
Xiao Yun Yan's face sank as his facade was torn apart. He sneered: "That's right, I admit that my actions just now really scared her. But what I did was just because I couldn't control my feelings after suppressing them for a long time. But wasn't it you who really made her sad? I saw it that night. You left her alone outside the cold palace gate and cried so sadly. That was something that had never happened when we were together before. Xiahou Qing, what right do you have to criticize me? "
Xiahou Qing's fingertips trembled, and a deep pain flashed past his jade white face. However, he was unable to open his mouth to provide an unnecessary explanation for himself.
He held Ning Shu tightly in his arms and said with an unprecedented fierceness in his voice, "Get out of the way."
Xiao Yunyi pressed his hand on his sword, his murderous intent showing. "What if I don't do it today?"
Jiu Si was the first to unsheathe his sword. Following his signal, the guards of the Duke's Mansion quickly appeared and surrounded Xiao Yunyi's entourage. "Then, Your Highness, please take a look around and see how powerful our Duke of Nanping is."
The veins on Xiao Yunyi's arms bulged. Under the vast sky, he wore golden armor and a scarlet red cloak as he stood opposite Xiahou Qing's Azure Gauze Gown. One was dense like blood, the other was cold like ice, and they silently overflowed with killing intent. Until Xiao Yunyi's personal attendant dared to persuade him in a low voice. "The Empress is still waiting for you in the Central Palace. Your Highness, let's go back first … There's no rush."
Xiao Yunyi closed his eyes harshly and the attendant almost thought that he was going to kill him. However, he saw his hand on the sword slowly loosen, and when he opened his eyes again, he was calm and composed. "Mr Xiahou, I have something important to do, so I won't be catching up with you. I'll definitely have a chance to drink and chat with you another day. I heard that you're proficient in chess. Coincidentally, my chess skills have also been praised by the Grand Tutors. When the time comes, I'll definitely have a good competition with you and see who wins and who loses. "
The heavy armor stepped down the wooden ladder step by step. As his dazzling cloak disappeared without a trace, the clock tower finally regained its peace. Xiahou Qing lowered his head and quietly listened to Ning Shu's rapid breathing in his arms, as if she was still deep in some kind of fear in her dreams. Xiahou Qing's heart ached so much that he took a deep breath and followed her breathing. He gently pressed his forehead against hers, each word piercing her heart.
"I'm sorry to let you fight alone. It's been hard on you."
"I'm sorry I wasn't by your side and couldn't help you."
"I'm sorry I made you sad. Perhaps, I shouldn't have come to the capital in this life. If you didn't meet me, you wouldn't be sad. "
