Chapter 286 Words Cannot Be Expressed

After a slight chuckle, he took a small red bag out from under his pillow.

Gu Shuyan recognized the bag at a glance. Although the original color had been covered by bloodstains, it was still clear that it was the peace charm that Gu Shuyan had given her before.

"this?"

Gu Shuyan looked at Yun Yichen, who explained, "There was a copper coin in this talisman bag. The sword that pierced the chest went through the copper coin."

At this point, Gu Shuyan understood everything. In other words, the copper coin blocked the assassin's force, preventing the sword from piercing Yun Yichen's heart directly.

Gu Shuyan trembled as she looked at the talisman. She couldn't imagine whether she would still be able to see Yun Yichen if that sword had pierced through her.

"Heh, heh heh heh!"

Gu Shuyan held the copper coin that had been broken in two, crying and laughing at the same time. In fact, even she hadn't paid attention to what was inside the amulet.

Thinking of that clueless old monk, Gu Shuyan's gratitude was overflowing.

"What are you grinning about!"

As Yun Yichen spoke, he reached out and hugged her, his eyes filled with love.

Gu Shuyan shook her head upon hearing this, "It's nothing, I just felt I should thank the person who gave me the talisman. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid you would have been in grave danger this time."

Gu Shuyan's words were not an exaggeration at all. She had seen the wound with her own eyes, and Physician Kong also said that if he hadn't been lucky, that sword strike might have taken Yun Yichen's life.

"Then next time we'll go together to properly thank this person and express our gratitude for saving his life."

Yun Yichen also felt lingering fear. When he was caught up by those people and driven into a corner, he thought he would never come back. But unexpectedly, this copper coin saved his life at the critical moment. Perhaps it really was fate!

"By the way, you still haven't told me who those people are?"

Gu Shuyan had wanted to ask this for a while, but the interruption made her remember it again.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yichen's eyes darkened, and he gently stroked Gu Shuyan's head, saying, "They're just assassins hired by my enemies. You know I have many enemies, so it's inevitable that some would take the risk of trying to kill me."

Gu Shuyan naturally didn't believe Yun Yichen's words. He had many enemies in the past, but none of them had ever been so ruthless.

However, since he was unwilling to talk about it, there must be a reason why he was unwilling to talk about it. Asking too many questions would only make him unhappy. "Then why didn't you go back to the Yun residence to treat your injuries, but instead came here to me?"

Zhong Lin said that when they brought Yun Yichen back, Yun Yichen was awake for a few seconds, but he only said that he wanted to come to his place.

But she's a young lady confined to her quarters, and it's inconvenient for her to have her injuries treated, so why would he give such an order?

"Didn't Zhong Lin bring me here himself?" Yun Yichen looked innocent, blinking his big eyes at Gu Shuyan.

Seeing that he seemed to remember nothing, Gu Shuyan sighed and didn't say anything more.

What's the point of her asking if he doesn't remember? She should think about how to send Yun Yichen back. She can't keep him in her room forever!

Besides, if anyone wants to visit him, the Yun family can't just refuse to see them all!

Thus, Lord Yun, whom everyone feared, thought he had escaped a calamity by pretending to be deaf and dumb, but unexpectedly, he was sent straight home.

At the Third Prince's residence, Lu Youming smashed things as soon as he returned to his study.

Seeing Lu Youming's agitated state, Xu Yunzhi quickly stood up from his stool. "Your Highness, what's wrong? Why are you so angry!"
