Chapter 86: Recuperation 3
Yin Zijin strolled slowly in the small and exquisite garden in front of the house. After walking for a while, his weak body soon felt exhausted. When he saw an exquisite beauty couch under the grape trellis, he lay down on it as if relieved, leaned slightly sideways, closed his eyes and began to pretend to take a nap, muttering to himself: "It's still cooler outside..."
Wanyue, who was standing aside, gently stretched out her hand, carefully grasped the exquisite lantern, raised it high, and then carefully hung it on the shelf beside her.
The lanterns emit a faint and warm light, illuminating the dark corners around them, adding a touch of mystery and romance to the whole scene. Then she whispered to Yin Zijin, "Miss, please take a rest for a while. I'll go get the incense burner. There are a lot of mosquitoes here." After getting Yin Zijin's consent, Wanyue left quietly, for fear of waking up her dozing master.
The garden was exceptionally quiet under the cover of night, with only the occasional chirping of cicadas, croaking of frogs and the occasional barking of dogs in the distance. Accompanied by these natural sounds, Yin Zijin gradually fell into a deep sleep.
The moonlight sprinkled on her peaceful face, as if covering her with a layer of silver gauze, making her look even more beautiful and charming. On this quiet night, everything seems so harmonious and beautiful.
From time to time, pink petals would fall like snowflakes, gently sprinkling on Yin Zijin's plain pink body. With the faint candlelight, Chen Lu looked from afar and seemed to see a beautiful painting.
At this moment, Chen Lu was hanging on a thick branch. He stared at everything in front of him with wide eyes and astonishment on his face. He was completely stunned. The Yin Zijin in front of him was like a fairy from heaven, breathtakingly beautiful. Chen Lu couldn't help but take out a small booklet from his pocket, wanting to use a paintbrush to capture this beautiful scene forever.
At this moment, Chen Lu had only one thought in his mind, which was to perfectly depict the beautiful scenery before him. He was concentrating on waving the pen in his hand, not realizing that he was violating a huge taboo. As a death warrior and secret guard of Yin's mansion, a low-ranking servant, he tried to draw his appearance.
After finishing the painting, Chenlu stared at the beautiful scene in front of him, stunned for a moment, and then he crumpled the paper into a ball in private...
Not long after, Chen Lu saw a tall and straight man in black clothes walking towards Yin Zijin. The man slowly walked up to Yin Zijin and stopped, then he stretched out his fingers and gently pinched the pink flower on her hair.
His deep and bright eyes were no longer as cold and deep as before, but were filled with an unconcealable smile, which made people feel comfortable and happy as if it were the warmest sunshine in spring.
When Chen Lu looked carefully, he found that the man in black was actually the current Crown Prince! His appearance made the atmosphere around him a little tense, but at the same time it also added a touch of mystery and nobility to the entire scene.
At this moment, Yin Zijin did not realize that the person standing in front of him was not the Miss Wanyue he was familiar with. He just felt an unbearable itchiness when the hair rubbed against his face, and thought Wanyue was playing a joke on him. So she giggled and tried to avoid the other person's touch, and whispered: "Stop it, Wanyue, it's itchy..."
However, before he could finish his words, he suddenly froze - because he finally saw clearly that the true identity of the person in front of him was actually His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Yin Zijin was startled and quickly stood up from the beauty bed. She gently retracted her dainty and wrapped feet, then quickly adjusted her skirt so that it just covered her feet.
He quickly bowed and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I was rude just now. Your Highness is visiting me late at night. Is there anything I can do for you?..."
Sheng Yixuan's face, which was originally as gentle as jade, was once again covered with frost. His eyes became as cold as the stars, and his whole body seemed to have turned into an iceberg that could not melt. He opened his thin lips and said calmly, "I have been very busy these days, and I have only had some free time until now. I want to find a quiet place to rest for a while. After thinking about it, the only suitable place is Fu'an Temple. This place is quiet and pleasant. It is just right for me to take a walk to relax my body and mind...
But Sixth Miss isn’t fully recovered yet, how can she sleep outside? ”
Yin Zijin pinched the handkerchief in her hand and said with a smile: "I have to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his help. Zijin's body has improved a lot, but it's too hot and stuffy in the summer. I can't sleep in the house, so I want to go out for a walk."
Sheng Yixuan smiled and said, "Zi Jin was so beautiful just now, like a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally without any decoration, and innocent and naive without a trace of guard, why is she so reserved now?
You will marry me in the future, and you and I will be the closest people at this time. We shouldn't be so distant from each other. Since I can’t sleep, come take a walk with me! ”
Yin Zijin nodded, followed Sheng Yixuan and walked forward. Yin Zijin rolled her big watery eyes and said, "Has Your Highness opened his heart to Zijin? Zijin always feels like Your Highness is wearing a mask. He is cold, like an ice cube."
Sheng Yixuan turned around and pulled Yin Zijin, who was following behind him, over to him, and walked side by side. He smiled and said, "Then don't follow me. If you want to understand me, don't be like those women in the harem, who follow rules and regulations everywhere..."
As they were talking, suddenly two icy arrows shot out from somewhere and flew straight towards Yin Zijin and Sheng Yixuan like lightning! The two arrows were extremely fast and carried a fierce momentum, as if they could penetrate all obstacles. They drew two sharp arcs in the air, which made people feel scared.
Two different voices came from a distance:
Your Highness, be careful...
Sixth Miss, be careful..."
It happened in the blink of an eye! Sheng Yixuan didn't have time to think, he rushed forward and hugged Yin Zijin tightly in his arms. He was as agile as a cheetah. He quickly dodged to the side and narrowly avoided one of the arrows that was coming at him. Another deadly arrow was blocked by an extremely fast dart.
However, because he was still holding Yin Zijin in his arms, Sheng Yixuan's movements were restricted to a certain extent and he was unable to fully exert his strength. Just as he was trying hard to dodge, an arrow grazed his arm, and blood splattered everywhere. A sharp pain came over him, but Sheng Yixuan clenched his teeth and endured the pain without any pause.
But before they had the slightest chance to catch their breath, arrows came raining down like a torrential rain, seemingly endless, leaving no way to avoid them! These arrows seemed to be endowed with life, and they shot straight towards the target with fierce momentum and sharp sounds of breaking through the air. Some of them are fast-paced, some are erratic, some are cunning and ruthless, and each one is full of deadly threats.
He had only one thought in his mind: Yin Zijin must not be allowed to come to any harm! With tenacious perseverance and firm belief, Sheng Yixuan hugged Yin Zijin tightly and continued to move forward in the rain of arrows...
Following the arrows, there came a dozen highly skilled and well-trained warriors who rushed over like wolves and tigers! They were agile and nimble, holding all kinds of sharp weapons, and rushing towards this side with great momentum!
At this critical moment, Chen Lu and Liu Jun who was standing by showed no fear. They led their men to rush forward and started a thrilling life-and-death fight with those assassins!
In an instant, the flashes of swords and the shadows of knives were intertwined, and shouts of killing rose one after another. The two sides fought back and forth, neither giving in, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while. However, facing the enemy's fierce and brutal attack, Shen Lu and others did not retreat even a single step, but became more courageous as the battle went on!
