Moreover, the identity of the person on the bed was too noble and respected, to the point that he did not even know how to react. It had been a long time since Hu Qi woke up, and Hu Xiao could not help but complain about whether Ling Hua had used too much force to bring him back, and not long after, the people had left one after another.

As for Ling Hua, she was ordered by Hu Xiao to take care of Hu Qi. She could only stare at the man on the bed in dissatisfaction, the dagger in her hand moving back and forth in her sleeves a thousand times.

How could Ling Hua not know what Hu Xiao meant? She just felt that her reaction after hearing that Hu Qi was the crown prince of South Yue was just too big, and that she had killed this person and left him here openly, so he was sure that she would not take action.

She drew the dagger on Hu Qi’s neck a few times, but in the end, she still could not move.

At this time, Hu Qi actually woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw a girl holding a knife and drawing.

He was so scared that he didn’t dare to make a sound or even breathe. He was afraid that the man’s hand would tremble and the red knife would fall out. The taste of his head hitting the ground was not pleasant.

"Enough, I already know that you’ve woken up. Since you’ve already woken up, stop playing dead."

As if she had seen enough of Hu Qi who was afraid but no longer dared to anger him, Ling Hua could not help but sneer.

After struggling for a while, Hu Qi slowly opened his eyes. He did not know why Ling Hua’s actions were so, but he still remained cautious.

Ling Hua looked at him. Even though he already knew he was the crown prince, why did he look so stupid? She could not help but laugh out loud. Hu Qi’s face was originally filled with caution, but because of that smile just now, it actually blushed a little.

It had to be said, she was very pretty.

Ling Hua’s smile disappeared in a flash, and before Hu Qi could react, Ling Hua’s dagger had once again been placed on his neck.

Hu Qi took a deep breath, and didn’t see Ling Hua take any further action for a long time. Only then did Hu Qi feel slightly relieved, thinking that he should still have taken his identity into consideration.

But why did Ling Hua’s first reaction after hearing her identity was to kill him?

"What is it? "You’re not afraid at all?"

Seeing that Hu Qi was actually relaxed after being held by his dagger on his neck for a period of time, Ling Hua could not help but ask gloomily, should this person not be even more afraid?

"Of course I’m afraid. After all, that’s my life vein, so I hope that Miss Ling Hua can be careful."

A single sentence revealed his thoughts. He actually knew her name!

As expected, Ling Hua squinted her eyes and looked at Hu Qi for a long time.

That being said, their conversation in front of Hu Qi had been completely overheard by the man, was he pretending to be unconscious?

Was this person really not afraid of death, or did he think that he wouldn’t recklessly attack him?

"Just now, I only woke up for a short while before fainting again. The only thing I remember is your name."

Hu Qi naturally felt that something was amiss, and anxiously tried to defend himself, but he did not know why he said those words that did not seem convincing at all.

"Oh, then you better remember my name. Otherwise, one day, when you die, you won’t even know who did it!"

Hu Xiao’s room was right next door, furthermore there were still many people waiting at the door, so even if Ling Hua wanted to attack, he needed to consider Hu Xiao, even if she hated her more, he had no choice. She decided to just ignore him, and no matter what else Hu Qi wanted to say, she walked out of the room.

On the other hand, Hu Xiao just so happened to see Ling Hua walking out of the door, and her heart was filled with suspicions. However, she did not continue to ask questions, and Ling Hua on the left and right did not do anything to hurt Hu Qi either. frёeωebɳovel.com

When Hu Qi woke up earlier, he left, but he didn’t know if he should appear in front of Hu Qi or not, telling him that the person he had been looking for was right in front of him.

"Did you sleep?"

It was already late, just as Hu Xiao was preparing to sleep, she suddenly seemed to hear Lu Yin’s voice outside the door.

When the doorbell rang again, Hu Xiao slowly put on a coat and went to open the door.

"Young Master Lu, what’s the matter so late at night?"

Seeing that the person outside was Lu Yin, Hu Xiao’s face revealed a smile, but to Lu Yin, this smile was the same as before. If it was in the past, he might have teased his a little, but now, this situation was a little out of place.

"Hu Xiao, I keep having this feeling that something has happened in the city, or that there is some kind of disturbance in the South Yue. Although the crown prince ordered me to look for you, at the very least, he brought enough men, but he ambushed us so easily, I want to find out more about him."

Lu Yin originally wanted to leave silently, but thinking of the situation from last time, Yu Rui felt that it would be better to inform Hu Xiao. After all, things were not as simple as they were, and if something were to happen, at least one person would know.

Hu Xiao knew that she could not stop Lu Yin, and only said a few words of caution before allowing him to leave. It was not that Hu Xiao did not consider Lu Yin’s words before she said them, but she did not want Hu Qi’s injuries to be too serious. Rather than resting, it was better to let Lu Yin go first.

Imperial Palace of the South Yue.

"Great King, this is a letter from East Court."

A eunuch handed the letter to King of the South Yue.

Hu Xiao didn’t even know how many days she had been in South Yue, but a letter had only just arrived from East Court. If it wasn’t for that, his child would not have been assassinated so easily.

Right after that came the envoys from the East Court. No matter how displeased King of the South Yue was, it was not possible for him to say anything in front of the envoys. Since the two countries were still on good terms, he could not leave any evidence for nothing.

After dealing with the envoys for a while, King of the South Yue finally rubbed his eyebrows in exhaustion.

"We must secretly search for the whereabouts of the princess, and we must never relax for the crown prince’s side." We must secretly search for the whereabouts of the princess, and we must never relax for the crown prince’s side.

As he read through the instructions, he was calculating in his heart. He had heard of Hu Xiao’s every movement within the East Court, but now that the letter was written by the emperor of the East Court, he became suspicious of the King of the South Yue once again. The emperor of the East Court didn’t seem to be as indifferent to Hu Xiao as she was in the rumors.

Originally, he wanted to bring Hu Xiao here to see if there was any place that could help with the South Yue, but now it seems that Hu Xiao was even more useful than this.

The next day.

"Your injuries are more or less healed. I’ve given you the medicine. If you’re still alive, you can leave."

Ling Hua sat on the side of the bed and looked at Hu Qi coldly.

For some reason, the difficult task of changing medicines fell onto Ling Hua’s body. Presumably, it was because of Hu Xiao’s worry.

Although his identity as the crown prince was respected, it was useless in front of Ling Hua, the person who wanted to vent her anger and killing. It was even possible that he would be tortured even more miserably because he could not kill this person!
