After Su Mengyan's eloquent persuasion, the man in black hesitated for a moment and released her.
He took out the dagger he carried with him and said, "If you dare to leave me even a step away, I will kill you immediately!"
Su Mengyan finally had the chance to look back. What she saw was almost a bloody man with wounds all over his body. However, his expression was extremely fierce. She did not doubt what he said at all. As long as she dared to move, she would die immediately.
"Where is the exit of the villa?" the bloody man spoke.
"Go east, and you'll find the exit after passing the peach forest." Su Mengyan told the truth, then added, "But there are guards everywhere here, you can't escape."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside, "Your Highness, people are running this way."
Situ Yao stared coldly at the closed door of the house in front of him. This was where Su Mengyan lived. They followed the bloodstains all the way here. The bloodstains disappeared when they reached the door, so someone must be hiding inside.
Su Mengyan was delighted, finally waiting for Situ Yao. But the bloody man suddenly grabbed her again with lightning speed, "Be good and don't move, swords and knives have no eyes."
The cold dagger touched Su Mengyan's skin, giving her goose bumps all over her body. She raised her head slightly and said, "I am just a small concubine. Even if you kidnap me, Your Highness will not care whether I live or die."
"Whether it works or not, you won't know until you try it." The bloody man dragged Su Mengyan out without saying a word.
With a hostage in hand, he faced Situ Yao without fear and frankly stated his request, "As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince releases me, this woman can live."
Situ Yao sneered, not even glancing at the embarrassed Su Mengyan, "Do you think I'll let you go out and tell everyone that Princess Yunfu is faking her illness?"
His tone was extremely sarcastic, as if he was laughing at someone who overestimated his own abilities. Because in his eyes, Su Mengyan's life was worthless.
Although she had guessed this would happen, Su Mengyan still felt a little disappointed. She no longer looked at Situ Yao's coldness, but instead smiled bitterly.
The bloody man didn't believe that the chips in his hand had lost their value in an instant, and he stabbed the dagger deep into Su Mengyan's flesh like a madman.
She shuddered in pain and stood in a very awkward posture. "Are you deaf? His Highness just said that even if you kill me, you can't leave the villa today."
This person knew Yun Fu's secret, and Situ Yao would never let him leave here alive.
As Su Mengyan finished her words, she felt the dagger penetrate deeper. "Even if I die, I can still drag someone down with me. I won't be at a loss."
Situ Yao's eyes grew darker. He had excellent eyesight and could see the blood flowing down Su Mengyan's neck. After a long moment, Su Mengyan heard his cold voice, "Kill her on the spot!"
These four words were like Su Mengyan's death warrant. The bloody man knew that he was going to die and wanted to drag her down with him.
A tear flowed from the corner of Su Mengyan's eye, and then she closed her eyes, waiting for death to come.
"Concubine Su, you really know how to cause trouble for me." Situ Yao's voice sounded above her head.
When Su Mengyan opened her eyes, she saw that his thin lips were slightly pursed, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
She immediately jumped up from Situ Yao's arms, "I'm not dead yet?" Then she touched her neck again. It hurt a little, but there was no big wound.
And that bloody man had already been captured by Situ Yao's men.
It turned out that at the critical moment just now, Situ Yao used those four words to divert the blood man's attention, and then with amazing explosive power, he rescued Su Mengyan.
In just a short moment, Su Mengyan had a close call with death. She patted her chest with lingering fear and said, "I thought His Highness was really going to kill me."
"Why?" Situ Yao raised his eyebrows. "Do you think I am such a cold-blooded person?"
Isn't it? Su Mengyan answered in her heart, isn't the male protagonist in the original work indifferent to everyone? Only Cui Mixue can receive his tenderness.
Under his scorching gaze, Su Mengyan said something against her will, "How could that be? If Your Highness hadn't saved this slave just now, I would have become a corpse now."
"Go in and bandage it." Situ Yao walked into the room and Su Mengyan followed.
Chun He also woke up. She had been unconscious for a long time and had no idea what had happened. Seeing the wound on Su Mengyan's neck, she worriedly cried out, "What happened to the young lady?"
"It's okay." Su Mengyan shook her head nonchalantly, "They're just minor injuries."
While Chun He was bandaging her wound, Su Mengyan asked curiously, "Was that also an assassin?"
"A spy in the palace." Situ Yao's thoughts were interrupted by her, his face showing no emotion. "He had been hiding in the villa for a long time. Last night he tried to escape and inform on the secrets, so I took advantage of his trick."
So this morning, Situ Yao didn't go to the peach forest to relax, but to close the net. But I didn't expect that he would run all the way to Su Mengyan and take her hostage.
Fortunately, Su Mengyan did not alert the enemy at the beginning, otherwise it would have taken some effort to catch him.
"If he had escaped just now, would Princess Yunfu still have to go to marry a foreign princess?" Su Mengyan expressed her own guess.
"Absolutely not." Situ Yao answered her coldly. No matter what, he couldn't possibly send Yun Fu to Beiliang to marry.
Su Mengyan smiled awkwardly and stopped talking nonsense. Under the circumstances just now, it was already a rare achievement for Situ Yao to save her and not care about her life or death.
"I heard you were assassinated?" Yun Fu rushed in. "Is the Crown Prince injured?"
"I'm fine." Situ Yao shook his head. Yun Fu turned around and saw Su Mengyan with a bandage around her neck. "Why are you injured again?"
"Did he block another assassin for the Crown Prince?" Yun Fu's eyes flickered with gossip. "He truly is deeply in love with you."
Su Mengyan blushed with embarrassment and explained hurriedly, "It's not what the princess thinks. I was kidnapped, and it has nothing to do with Your Highness." After she finished speaking, she looked at Situ Yao. She didn't see any anger on his face, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
According to the original plot, Cui Mixue should have found this place by now and met Situ Yao by chance, but for some reason, she hasn't come yet.
"You're so unlucky." Yun Fu laughed unabashedly, but that didn't stop her from having her maid give Su Mengyan the best medicine. "Thank you so much, Princess, for your kindness."
"I'm also afraid that you will have scars in the future, which will bother the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace." Yun Fu felt quite uncomfortable with her thanks and spoke awkwardly.
"Don't worry, Princess. If I really get a scar, I will definitely beg Your Highness to expel me from the Eastern Palace." Su Mengyan tried to agree with her and joke to get closer to her.
"Have you given your permission?"
