"Just you guys?"
Sun Jinyao didn't say any more nonsense. He pushed Shangguan Wanning away and rushed forward with the soft sword twitching around his waist.
The five men soon started fighting.
Shangguan Wanning stared at the battle situation nervously, her eyes fixed on it.
Although Sun Jinyao was poisoned, it did not seem to affect his skills at the moment. However, under the siege of four masters, he gradually became unable to cope.
Shangguan Wanning was secretly anxious.
Sun Jinyao made a feint to lure the four people away, then leaped to Shangguan Wanning's side, took her hand and tried to escape.
A strong palm wind came from behind. Sun Jinyao held Shangguan Wanning in his arms and used his body to block the palm for her.
"Brother Yao..."
Sun Jinyao fell to the ground and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The four men quickly caught up and surrounded them.
"Sun Jinyao, the prince originally valued you so much, but you didn't know what was good for you. Then don't blame the prince for being cruel and ruthless."
Lu Xiangzi was forced to death by Xiao Beiming, and Sun Jinyao has always remembered this hatred. How could he continue to work for Xiao Beiming?
"Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to say. You can kill me or chop me up as you wish. But..." Sun Jinyao looked at Shangguan Wanning, "Don't hurt her."
"Of course you don't need to say more. She will be the Princess of Ming in a few days."
"If you dare to touch a hair on his head, I will bite my tongue and kill myself. I want to see how you will explain to the King when you return."
Shangguan Wanning protected Sun Jinyao, her eyes full of sharp coldness.
The four men looked at each other, and in order to prevent Shangguan Wanning from really doing this, two of them stepped forward, grabbed her arms and pulled her forward.
Sun Jinyao held Shangguan Wanning's hand tightly and refused to let go.
He used all his strength to repel the two men, and the blood he spat out sprayed on their faces.
The two men screamed and wailed, then fell to the ground and died.
The other two human companions died in a miserable way, and he was immediately furious and slashed at Shangguan Wanning and Sun Jinyao.
They would not really kill Shangguan Wanning, but they showed no mercy to Sun Jinyao.
Shangguan Wanning watched helplessly as the steel knife pierced Sun Jinyao's lower abdomen.
"Brother Yao..."
Shangguan Wanning struggled desperately, trying to break free from the man's grip, but no matter how hard she tried, she was ultimately powerless.
She watched the steel knife being pulled out, and Sun Jinyao's eyes were always on her.
At this moment, she felt dizzy and the whole world seemed to have become quiet.
“Ning’er…”
Sun Jinyao called Shangguan Wanning with difficulty, with a faint smile on his face. "I'm sorry... I can't continue to protect you..."
"Brother Yao."
Shangguan Wanning bit the back of the man's hand in anger.
The man raised his hand and slapped her in pain, but then let her go.
She hurriedly crawled towards Sun Jinyao and held his hand tightly. "Brother Yao, wake up... wake up..."
Shangguan Wan Ning was heartbroken, she couldn't accept that Sun Jinyao died in front of her.
She felt that she was not only sorry to Sun Jinyao, but also to Lu Xiangzi who was in hell.
And all this was caused by Xiao Beiming.
"Come on, come back with us."
Shangguan Wanning was in a state of disarray. She was dragged forward by someone, but she refused to let go of Sun Jinyao's hand.
The two men became furious and one of them raised a steel knife to chop off Sun Jinyao's hand.
A flash of sword light appeared, and the two men were forced to take several steps back. Before they could see who was coming, they felt a sharp pain in their throats.
Blood gushed out, and both men fell to the ground before they could understand what was happening.
"Ning'er?"
Mu Jingrui looked at the miserable Shangguan Wanning and his heart was trembling violently.
He sheathed his sword and hurriedly helped Shangguan Wan Ning up.
Her face was covered with tear marks, her hands were covered in blood, her messy hair covered half of her face, and her eyes were full of despair.
"Ning'er, don't scare me... Ning'er..."
Shangguan Wanning slowly came back to her senses. She saw Mu Jingrui's face clearly and tears welled up in her eyes.
She bit her lips tightly, her body trembled constantly, and her voice became hoarse.
"Why...why did you come only now..."
"I'm sorry Ning'er, I'm late." Mu Jingrui hugged Shangguan Wanning tightly, wanting to give her warmth and a sense of security.
He saw Sun Jinyao lying in a pool of blood.
It seems that he is really late.
After he left the secret passage of the palace, he immediately rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He sneaked into Shangguan Wanning's room, but did not find her.
Grape happened to come in to clean the room, and he learned the whole story and Shangguan Wanning's whereabouts from Grape.
He chased after him immediately.
"Brother Yao..."
Shangguan Wanning's chest felt stuffy, her mind went blank, her eyes went dark, and she passed out completely.
She didn't know how long she had been unconscious. When she opened her eyes dazedly, she found herself lying in an unfamiliar room.
"Ning'er?"
When Mu Jingrui saw that she woke up, he immediately held her hand and reached out to touch her forehead.
"Fortunately, the fever has subsided. Ning'er, how are you? Do you still feel uncomfortable?"
uncomfortable?
Shangguan Wanning's mind once again reappeared the scene of her separation from Sun Jinyao. The unforgettable pain made her eyes red in an instant.
"How long have I been unconscious?" As soon as Shangguan Wanning opened her mouth, her throat felt like it was burning.
"Two days."
During these two days, Shangguan Wanning kept calling Sun Jinyao's name.
Mu Jingrui didn’t know what they had been through, but Sun Jinyao died to save Shangguan Wanning, and she was afraid that she would never be able to let go of this feeling.
"Where is Brother Yao?"
"I bought him a fine coffin and temporarily placed his body in a temple ten miles away. I will close the coffin and bury him after you wake up."
"I want to go see him."
Mu Jingyan originally wanted to persuade Shangguan Wanning to get better first, but... seeing her red eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse.
"Okay. Get dressed first, and I'll prepare the carriage for you."
Mu Jingrui had a lot of thoughts in his mind. In fact, what they should do most now is to escape, the farther the better.
only……
He sighed helplessly and brought Shangguan Wan Ning to the temple.
Looking at Sun Jinyao lying quietly in the coffin, Shangguan Wan burst into tears.
“Ning’er…”
"Jingrui, I want to be alone with Brother Yao."
"Okay. I'll be waiting outside. Call me if you need anything."
Mu Jingrui knew that at this time, Shangguan Wanning needed some space to mourn Sun Jinyao.
This is their last time in this life.
He retreated silently, and the moment he closed the door, he saw Shangguan Wanning kneeling on the ground, crying inconsolably.
