Shen Ning regretted helping the crown prince. She shouldn't have done it. Even if he died there, what did it have to do with her?

There was no one else around, and he was unconscious. If she ran fast enough, who would know that she had encountered the Crown Prince?

But her first thought at that moment was to save him.

She knew the assassin would definitely catch up, and in less than fifteen minutes, they did catch up.

Mo Lin got into a fight with the assassin, and the carriage went out of control and overturned. Shen Ning held him tightly in her arms, her body was being thrown around, and she felt like all the bones in her body were broken.

She threw the prince out of the carriage, while the horse struggled as the carriage strangled its neck.

Her whole body ached as if it were shattering, but she dared not stop.

She released the prince, rescued the horse, soothed it, and coaxed it to lie down. With some effort, she helped the prince onto the horse, then climbed up herself. Not daring to look back, she swung the reins and ran quickly.

She dared not return to the main road and could only run deeper into the woods.

I regret it!

The physical pain constantly conveyed Shen Ning's deep regret.

She found a corner hidden by vines, dragged the prince inside, released the horse, cleaned up the traces, and then they hid together.

There was no direction in the woods, and she dared not run too far. The horse was so bumpy; if the prince continued to escape, he would surely die.

Shen Ning laid the prince flat on the ground. Despite the jolting, he showed no sign of waking up, which showed how serious his injuries were. Shen Ning was afraid he would die.

After checking several times to make sure he was still breathing faintly, she exhaled heavily and then took out a bottle of medicine from her person. This was medicine to help her recover.

She hadn't expected to encounter something like this, and she didn't carry any medicine with her. This bottle of medicine was specially prepared for her by Qin Zhuo when he saw that she was in too much pain during her last period.

It promotes blood circulation, removes blood stasis, and replenishes the middle energizer and boosts qi.

But he's already vomiting blood. If we try to revive him now, he'll die, won't he?

Shen Ning dared not act recklessly. If it turned out that the Crown Prince died from the medicine she had given him, she would be in deep trouble.

She ate two of them herself to replenish her energy.

She shrank into the corner, trying her best not to expose herself. The only weapon in her hand was a stick, which she used to drive away poisonous insects and snakes in case there were any.

Shen Ning remained motionless, leaning against the corner, trying to keep her breathing steady. But as she calmed down, the pain in her body became even more pronounced.

My back, in particular, is burning with pain.

She should be thankful that she didn't break any arms or legs when she fell off the cliff, otherwise she would definitely be dead by now.

Liu Ying and Yu Zhu have disappeared, and Mo Lin and the others... I wonder if they are still alive.

The thought of them losing their lives made Shen Ning even more regretful for meddling in other people's business.

No matter how precious the Crown Prince's life is, he is still a stranger to her, and it is not worth exchanging the lives of those around her for his.

But the crown prince cannot die.

With the Crown Prince dead, the struggle for the throne has once again become the domain of Prince Zhao and the Sixth Prince, Li Zhan. In her previous life, the Sixth Prince won, and she had offended Han Yin. The Han family rose to prominence, and she would not have an easy time.

If, by some stroke of luck, King Zhao wins this time, it seems that it was King Zhao's men who kidnapped Shen Yu last time, and the death of her father is also shrouded in mystery, which is not a good thing for her.

Most importantly, she now has some connection with Qin Zhuo. With the Crown Prince dead, the Empress's lineage will surely be purged, and the trouble she will face then will not just be caused by Shen Shu and Shen Yu.

She wants to live a good life, to live freely and comfortably, so the best emperor would be the crown prince.

She didn't know how long Qin Zhuo's affection for her would last, or whether they would eventually get married, but she was certain that even if they parted ways, she wouldn't have a falling out with Qin Zhuo. Besides, she was just a merchant and a woman; the emperor wouldn't bother with her.

In conclusion, the Crown Prince cannot die.

The more Shen Ning thought about it, the heavier her heart became. If the Crown Prince hadn't met her today, he would probably be dead for sure.

Many things happened ahead of time in the previous life, including the Crown Prince's death.

At this moment, more than regret, she feared that she had saved him, but could only watch helplessly as he died in front of her.

As Shen Ning was lost in thought, her gaze unconsciously fell on the Crown Prince's face.

No matter how many times you look at this face, it still seems so youthful and innocent. Although he exudes nobility, if this face were to become the emperor, it's uncertain whether it would be able to intimidate the civil and military officials.

Shen Ning was engrossed in watching when she suddenly noticed that the closed eyelashes trembled slightly, as if the person was about to open them.

A sudden surge of joy filled my heart—he was awake?

She quickly leaned over to check the situation, and just then, she heard a faint, strange noise coming from the woods.

The crown prince finally opened his eyes in pain, and after exchanging a glance with Shen Ning, she covered his mouth.

Shen Ning covered his mouth and nose, and at the same time pulled her sleeve to cover her own mouth and nose, trying to suppress her breathing, and dared not move at all.

Her intuition told her there was danger outside.

Sure enough, she saw several dark figures searching back and forth in the woods through the gaps, one of them even coming right up to their clump of grass.

However, Shen Ning's choice of location was quite clever. The bushes didn't look very tall from the outside, not enough to hide a person, but there was a depression inside, which was just the right place to hide, and the depression was not visible from the outside.

The group searched but found nothing, and quickly left.

Shen Ning waited quite a while before letting go and leaning back against the stone wall, as if all her strength had dissipated.

The Crown Prince had been staring at Shen Ning the whole time. He thought he was going to die, but he never expected to wake up, and it was Shen Ning who saved him.
