Ouyang Shaochen’s voice was weak and light. Murong Xue didn’t hear what he said, so she couldn’t help frowning, “What were you talking about?”
“Nothing.” Ouyang Shaochen’s eyes flashed and he stared at Murong Xue’s bloody lips, “Your lips are broken!” He used his fingertips to get some powder and gently pressed them onto the wound on her lips.
The sharp pain made Murong Xue gasp and she glared angrily at Ouyang Shaochen, “It’s all your fault. How can I go out to meet someone when I look like this?”
Ouyang Shaochen’s dark eyes filled with smile and he said leisurely, “Your lips will be almost recovered after tomorrow morning…”
“Really?” Murong Xue was skeptical. No matter how magical the powder was, it would take at least 12 hours for the wound to heal. Now it was only a few hours before dawn.
“Of course it is true. Any benefits to me to I cheat you?” The powder he used was specially made and its efficacy was excellent. Ouyang Shaochen said flatly, put away the medicine and bent over to hold Murong Xue up in his arms.
With her being lifted up from the ground, the faint scent of ink and bamboo lingered all over her around. She was a little shocked and looked up at Ouyang Shaochen, “What are you doing?”
Looking at the flickering of alert and doubt in her eyes, Ouyang Shaochen’s eyes darkened and he said lightly, “It’s late, I will take you back to rest!”
“Okay.” Murong Xue felt relieved, there was still a long way from the Marquis Mansion, if she chose to walk, it would take at least half an hour, but Ouyang Shaochen could make it much faster with his light feet…
The man took Murong Xue into the air and flew forward quickly.
The whirring wind blew past her ears and the scenery on both sides flew back quickly. Murong Xue suddenly remembered Murong Ye and said in a low voice, “My brother followed me closely. He was weak in martial skills and could not keep up with me and the men in black. It’s very late, and I don’t know if he has gone back home…”
“Then I’ll send someone to look for him!” Ouyang Shaochen said lightly.
“Thank you so much.” Murong Xue’s eyes flashed with a faint smile, making her look bright and shining.
Ouyang Shaochen’s mouth curved, thinking of what she had just said, “Xue’er, are you sure that the dead men you saw in that mansion were the Night Blood Stabber?”
Murong Xue blinked, “I heard Ye Yichen and Qin Haoyan say so.” It was the first time she saw these monsters, so she didn’t know their specific names. “Those should all be dead, since they felt no pains at all. After they emerged from the soil, they only focused on killing.”
They were more ferocious than the zombies recorded in ancient books. Even zombies had weaknesses, but these dead men were different, just like the strengthened army of soldiers. They would never give up until they were reduced to ashes…
“They were Night Blood Stabber. It can’t be wrong.” Ouyang Shaochen’s eyes dimmed. Ye Yichen and Qin Haoyan were well-informed men. They won’t make it wrong for such a rare monster.
Unexpectedly, Princess from Mo Bei was proficient in the forbidden arts in Nan Jiang. There would be a spectacle play in Prince Jing Mansion.
In a daze, Qin Yuyan felt sharp pain in her chest, and her throat was thirsty. She coughed a few times and said in a weak tone, “Water… Water…”
A strong arm stretched out and gently took her by the shoulder, lifted her up, and handed a cup of water with moderate temperature to her lips. Qin Yuyan drank it in small sips.
With warm clear water slowly flowing into her throat, Qin Yuyan’s misty thoughts gradually sobered up, and she slowly opened her eyes. A manly smell lingered on the tip of her nose. She looked up slowly and saw the handsome face of Ye Yichen.
His eyes were tinged with tiredness, and a faint grey shadow appeared on his eyelids. Obviously, he did not sleep all night!
He had been taking care of her!
Qin Yuyan’s heart was instantly filled with happiness. A smile appeared on her face, “Yichen!” Her beautiful voice was slightly hoarse, indicating that she was seriously injured.
Ye Yichen responded with a “hmm” and looked at her little face and forehead wrapped in white cloth. He said in a light tone, “How do you feel?”
“Much better!” Qin Yuyan was in a cheerful mood, and the wounds on her face and head seemed to be less painful.
“That’s good.” Ye Yichen said softly. He put down the cup, took a big pillow and put it behind her to let her lean against it.
Looking at her smiling eyes, a complicated look appeared in Ye Yichen’s eyes. He was silent for a moment and then whispered, “Yuyan, when your injury is healed, you might as well go back to Mo Bei with Prince Qin.”
Qin Yuyan’s bright smile froze instantly, and she looked at him with stupefied eyes. It took a long time before she came to her sense. “Are you… kidding?” She came to Qingyan to marry him as the first wife. She should be the princess consort. How could she return to Mo Bei?
“I am not joking. I can’t marry you as the first wife.” Ye Yiyhen looked at her and said word for word, his eyes shining with a rare dignified.
Qin Yuyan only felt a loud bang in her head, and her mind suddenly went blank. She said in a dull voice, “Why?” When they were in Mo Bei, he promised to marry her as the princess. Did he change his mind only a few months later?
Suddenly thought of something, Qin Yuyan’s teeth snapped angrily, “Is it because of Murong Xue? You like her and want to marry her as your first wife?”
Ye Yichen pondered for a moment and nodded softly, “Yes, I want to marry Murong Xue as my first wife!”
“But why?” Qin Yuyan stared at him in surprise. He once demoted Murong Xue as his concubine, let her feel humiliated, stole her Fire Lotus seeds, and made her suffer. He should hate her, how could he suddenly change his mind?
“I don’t know, either!” Ye Yichen’s eyes were blurred. Although they were engaged for ten years, there was not much communication between him and Murong Xue. He always thought that she was a cowardly little girl and did not think much of her.
When he demoted her to be a concubine, she vehemently refuted him. When he forced her to accept him, she resisted strongly and destroyed his plans again and again. Her cleverness and strength made him start to take notice. Unconsciously, she had walked into his heart…
Seeing the Night Blood Stabber attack her, his heart was in a panic and felt disorderly, and it almost stopped. It was until then did he realize that his heart had been occupied by her.
He seemed to see Murong Xue’s shining and bright little face. His sudden smile let Qin Yuyan’s eyes burst into flames. She gnashed her teeth and roared, “How could you do this?”
“In this life, I only want her.” Ye Yichen said one word at a time. His firm and affectionate eyes made Qin Yuyan feel furious, she hysterically thundered, “What about me? You said you would take care of me this life, are they all lies?”
