Chapter 68 When did he become so gentle to her?

On the return carriage, Luo Xifeng and Chu Yangyang brought the unconscious Xiao Renyu back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As soon as he got on the carriage, Chu Yangyang said, "Lord Luo, the murderer who killed Juxiang is most likely from the palace."

Luo Xifeng nodded, "Well, it's very likely that he is the same person behind Zhao Yi."

"Then it's still related to the Luo family incident. But why did the mastermind behind this want to kill me? How did I hinder them?"

Chu Yangyang couldn't understand why she became the target of murder.

Luo Xifeng frowned and did not answer.

At this moment, there was a sudden crisp sound of wooden boards breaking from under the car.

Luo Xifeng immediately stood up, lifted the carriage curtain and looked in. A diamond-shaped dart brushed past his fingertips and pierced into the wall of the carriage. The red tassel at the end of the dart was soaked in dark green juice.

"Be careful, it's poisonous."

He pulled down the car curtain and covered Chu Yangyang's mouth and nose. Xiao Renyu's bamboo stretcher was shaken and slid towards the car door.

The horses neighed shrilly and rushed into the dark alley, dragging the tilted carriage.

Chu Yangyang's veins bulged on the back of her hand as she gripped the window frame. "Are you coming for Sister Renyu or me?"

Why are there more people who want to kill her!

It's totally incomprehensible.

Is her life so important?

Just a cannon fodder.

The axle finally broke, and six black shadows fell from the sky.

The leader split the roof of the car with a scimitar, and the cold light went straight to Xiao Renyu's throat.

Luo Xifeng raised his hand and threw out three silver needles. Blood suddenly burst out from the assassin's wrist, and the poisonous knife brushed against Chu Yangyang's hair and pierced into the car board.

"Hurry up and take Miss Xiao away!" Luo Xifeng kicked open the car door and wrapped the golden thread in his sleeves around the necks of the two assassins.

Chu Yangyang carried Xiao Renyu on her back and rolled off the carriage. Her embroidered shoes sank into the mud after the rain, and a cold arrow was coming from behind.

"Shh".

The arrow pierced Chu Yangyang's left sleeve. Luo Xifeng followed and quickly cut the throat of the person who shot the arrow with the golden thread in his hand.

The smell of blood mixed with the fragrance of locust flowers wafting from the alley made Chu Yangyang feel nauseous.

"Run!" She carried Xiao Renyu on her back and squeezed into a narrower fork in the road. "Luo Xifeng, there's a dry well ahead!"

The three remaining assassins were chasing him relentlessly, and Luo Xifeng took out the hidden weapon from his medicine box.

The moment the mechanism popped open, poisoned silver needles poured down like a rainstorm.

After two muffled groans, the last assassin's knife tip was against Chu Yangyang's back.

"Be careful!" Xiao Renyu suddenly opened his eyes, and the blood-stained hairpin accurately pierced the assassin's eye socket.

The last assassin was also killed by Luo Xifeng's silver needle and fell to the ground and died.

Chu Yangyang lost her balance and fell suddenly into the dry well, taking Luo Xifeng with her. The sound of tiles breaking came from above.

Luo Xifeng lit a tinder, illuminating Chu Yangyang's bloody left arm: "The arrow is laced with ricin."

"Look at Sister Renyu first..." Before Chu Yangyang finished speaking, a fishy and sweet taste suddenly surged in her throat.

Xiao Renyu trembled as he tore open the hem of her skirt to bandage her: "Princess, why... why did you risk your life to save me?"

A chilling breeze from the well swept across Chu Yangyang's dilated pupils. She stared at the bowl-sized sky above her head and said weakly, "Because... you can't die."

Xiao Renyu was stunned. She misunderstood and thought Chu Yangyang was concerned about her. She actually felt a little apologetic.

Looking back on the past, Chu Yangyang seemed to have never really hurt her, and it was always because she was too extreme every time.

Because of the memories of her previous life, she developed hatred towards Chu Yangyang, and she had preconceived notions and stubbornly believed that it was Chu Yangyang who harmed her.

However, Chu Yangyang in this life is completely different from the vicious princess in her previous life.

Today, he risked his life to block the arrow for her.

However, Chu Yangyang had no idea what Xiao Renyu was thinking, and she was extremely depressed.

She clearly wanted to dodge the arrow, but because she was carrying Xiao Renyu on her back and didn't know martial arts, she was a step slower.

Who is willing to risk his life to save others?

Isn't her life a life?

Why did she come to this damn place, shouting and killing all day long, and either injured or on the way to being injured?

She just wants to live, why is it so difficult?

Damn, this wound hurts so much.

Chu Yangyang groaned, and Luo Xifeng felt her discomfort. He held her in his arms and quickly pierced her vital points with the silver needles in his hand.

The bleeding stopped, but the wound was exposed.

He tore open Chu Yangyang's sleeve, and the black blood oozing from the wound made his pupils shrink suddenly.

He pulled off his hairband and tied it tightly around her upper arm, then leaned over and held the arrow wound in his mouth.

The fire starter in Xiao Renyu's hand fell to the ground with a "bang".

"Brother Xifeng, are you crazy?" Xiao Renyu was incredulous. "Are you going to die? You will be poisoned too."

Chu Yangyang didn't care about him. She tilted her neck back in pain.

The warm lips and tongue wrapped around the poisonous blood and left the skin. Luo Xifeng tilted his head and spit on the moss with smooth movements.

He pinched Chu Yangyang's jaw and forced her to look directly at him. "Princess, it only takes half an hour for ricin to enter the heart. Princess, you must stay awake and don't fall asleep."

He pinched her teeth open and stuffed a pill into her mouth. The bitterness exploded on the tip of her tongue, and her distracted vision slowly focused and she became a little more sober.

Once consciousness became clear, the pain in the body became more intense.

She curled up in pain, sweating profusely.

Luo Xifeng brushed Chu Yangyang's sweaty temples with his fingertips and took out a plain white handkerchief from his bosom.

When the cloth touched her hot cheek, his wrist trembled slightly.

"Don't move."

He held her shaking head firmly, but wiped it gently.

This unbelievably handsome face was right in front of me.

The image of the two of them kissing each other yesterday involuntarily surfaced in her mind, evoking a subtle longing that made her forget the pain in her body...

Thinking of this, Chu Yangyang's ears turned red as if dripping blood. Her gaze wandered between the bamboo pattern on Luo Xifeng's collar and the moss on the wall of the well, but she didn't dare to meet his eyes that were so close to her.

Damn, she’s really not used to being so gentle.

And it was in front of Xiao Renyu, how was he going to act?
