Chapter 11 I didn't want to see her cry, she was crying to him in her wedding dress...
"Since you want to die, then don't worry about how ruthless I am."
Gu Shuyun shouted at the top of her lungs towards the door a few times:
"Guards! Guards!"
But no one responded to him.
Li Chengyi watched Gu Shuyun's clownish behavior, drew the sharp blade from his waist, and wiped the congealed blood off the knife with his elbow.
Li Chengyi glanced at Gu Shuyun, his words filled with pressure:
“I killed all the people outside your house on their way here.”
"Of course, you can call someone else."
Gu Shuyun watched as the reddish blade gradually turned into the silvery-white of iron, and nervously swallowed.
He had a fear that a knife would fall on him at any moment.
But Gu Shuyun still forced herself to remain calm and looked at Li Chengyi:
"Who do you think you are? How dare you threaten me?"
"You can kill those good-for-nothings at the gate if you want..."
Before Gu Shuyun could finish speaking, Li Chengyi plunged the knife in.
He struck hard, but avoided vital areas.
Only now did Lee Seung-ik fully reveal his true self.
Cold, arrogant, ruthless, and decisive.
He looked at Gu Shuyun with a cold expression, as if she were a spoiled dog, and his thin lips parted slightly:
"idiot."
It was only then that Gu Shuyun truly realized the threat of death.
This person really will kill him.
He clutched his wound menacingly and ran outside.
Li Chengyi had no intention of letting him escape. He raised his foot and kicked him hard in the waist.
Gu Shuyun fell completely to the ground, wincing in pain as she looked at Li Chengyi behind her.
His eyes were filled with fear as he shook his head and pleaded with Li Chengyi:
"No...don't kill me."
"What do you want? Fame, fortune, power, wealth, or beauty? I can give you anything."
"As long as you don't kill me!"
Li Chengyi slowly walked forward, and the crisp sound of his footsteps sounded like a tolling bell from hell to Gu Shuyun.
Li Chengyi bent down, curled the corners of his mouth, and smiled gently.
His smile carried a hint of kindness, yet his subordinates were engaged in bloody acts.
He swiftly and decisively severed Gu Shuyun's tendons in his hands and feet.
Gu Shuyun was in so much pain that she was covered in sweat, until finally she was too weak to even cry out in pain.
He glared resentfully at Li Chengyi, but he couldn't move and could only watch helplessly as Li Chengyi walked into his own bridal chamber.
Li Chengyi walked to the door, put away the knife, carefully wiped the blood on his hands behind his back, and only after confirming that there was no blood on his hands did he push open the door.
He didn't want to frighten Lin Yanshu.
Jin Linyan sat dazedly on the wedding bed, occasionally pinching the wound on her palm to try and wake herself up.
She heard Gu Shuyun's voice outside.
Through the door, her head felt heavy, and she couldn't hear clearly.
All that could be heard was Gu Shuyun's cries of pain, after which there was silence outside.
Lin Yanshu became somewhat uneasy. She nervously bit her lower lip and stared intently at the edge of the veil.
The door was completely opened.
The chilly autumn wind was brought in by people outside.
Lin Yanshu shivered.
When Li Chengyi saw Lin Yanshu dressed in wedding attire, sitting upright on the edge of the bed, he quickened his pace.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Lin Yanshu felt fear, tension, yet also excitement.
As soon as the other person approached, Lin Yanshu extended the dagger from her sleeve and stabbed it into the other person's chest.
Li Chengyi dodged Lin Yanshu's attack in shock, grabbed her wrist tightly, and ripped off her veil.
He said with a worried frown:
"Yan Shu, it's me!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Yanshu slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with tears of joy at regaining what she had lost.
She laughed through her tears, her pretty face scrunched up, and she sobbed in a trembling voice. Tears fell onto the back of Li Chengyi's hand, burning his palm and causing it to tremble slightly.
Li Chengyi didn't want to see Lin Yanshu cry. He felt that Lin Yanshu's beautiful face should be smiling at him, or glaring at him and scolding him.
In short, you shouldn't be this sad.
Lin Yanshu wanted to give Li Chengyi a smile, but she couldn't manage it.
She gripped the dagger of revenge so tightly that blood dripped from the wound on her palm down the hilt.
Seeing Lin Yanshu's bleeding palm, Li Chengyi quickly released her wrist and snatched the dagger from her hand.
He looked at the knife wound on Lin Yanshu's palm with heartache, and angrily questioned:
"What are you doing! Even if you want to kill Gu Shuyun, you don't have to hurt yourself!"
At this moment, Lin Yanshu's tense nerves finally relaxed, and she relaxed completely, letting the drug take effect. She rested one elbow on Li Chengyi's chest and explained weakly:
"They drugged me."
"If I don't do this, I won't be able to wait for you to come."
Li Chengyi reached out and embraced Lin Yanshu. Her body was limp and weak, and her whole body was burning with heat.
Li Chengyi cursed inwardly. He had thought that Gu Shuyun was in love with Lin Yanshu and wouldn't do anything to her.
Li Chengyi swept Lin Yanshu up in his arms.
Lin Yanshu remained silent, letting Li Chengyi do as he pleased. She lay obediently in Li Chengyi's arms, her forehead pressed against his hot chest.
She felt it was as soft as the thing she had slept on in the cave that night.
Lin Yanshu unconsciously rubbed her forehead against her skin. Li Chengyi felt her kitten-like movement and couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.
Why does this person always seem to freeload off here?
Li Chengyi carried her out of the room, and Lin Yanshu turned her head slightly and saw Gu Shuyun on the ground.
His tendons in his hands and feet were severed, and he lay on the ground in a hideous state.
Lee Seung-ik noticed the gaze of the person in his arms. He lowered his head, his gaze filled with a tenderness that even I myself didn't realize:
"Don't look, it's dirty."
Lin Yanshu turned her head and looked at Li Chengyi, following the sound.
He did it.
Li Chengyi met Lin Yanshu's gaze and agreed:
"Yes, I did it."
A flicker of fear crossed Lin Yanshu's eyes; she didn't think A Zhao was that kind of person.
He's clumsy, arrogant, and a nitpicker, so how could he have such great skills?
The cut was clean and crisp.
Only now did Lin Yanshu begin to realize:
Ah Zhao, how did he evade the assassins sent by Gu Shuyun, and how did he appear here so quietly?
He seems to be hiding far too many secrets from himself.
It seems that only she thought Li Chengyi was a fool.
Lin Yanshu felt a little sad; she felt that she had probably been deceived again.
Li Chengyi sensed the change in the person in his arms, and he was somewhat at a loss.
He didn't know what to say to Lin Yanshu.
His identity is too sensitive. Lin Yanshu is mute and helpless; he will only bring her danger.
He carried Lin Yanshu outside and encountered Huo Zheng in the courtyard.
He led troops he had brought from a neighboring county and surrounded the Gu residence.
The entire Gu family was brought under control.
Li Chengyi gave Huo Zheng an approving look:
"Gu Shuyun is in the villa. Have someone lock him up. Oh, and find him a doctor. Don't let him die."
Huo Zheng stared at his prince, who was holding a petite beauty in his arms.
...Huo Zheng felt that he didn't recognize his own prince anymore.
If this were in the capital, these women wouldn't even be able to get close to their prince, let alone be held like this:
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Upon hearing Huo Zheng's response, Li Chengyi glanced at him.
Huo Zheng immediately realized that he couldn't address His Highness like that in public, so he quickly changed his address:
"Yes, sir!"
Lin Yanshu was still thinking about what secret Li Chengyi was hiding and didn't notice this little incident.
It wasn't until she saw the orderly ranks of officers and soldiers that she realized Li Chengyi was probably a high-ranking official.
A high-ranking official who pretends to have amnesia.
Li Chengyi had someone fetch the antidote for the bone-softening powder and personally guided Lin Yanshu to take it.
Lin Yanshu sat on the edge of the bed and drank all the medicine in one go.
I leaned against the tatami mat and cleared my head.
Li Chengyi lowered his head and applied the medicine to her.
Although the wound medicine used by Li Chengyi was much better than the medicine she usually used, the powder still hurt when it was sprinkled on the wound.
Lin Yanshu winced in pain and tried to pull her hand away, but Li Chengyi held her fingertips tightly.
She had no choice but to obediently let Li Chengyi do as he pleased.
She looked at Li Chengyi with a pair of large, inquisitive eyes.
Lee Seung-ik knew she was watching him.
At first, he didn't feel anything, but the longer it went on, the more intense the probing look in Lin Yanshu's eyes became.
She probably already guessed it in her heart.
Li Chengyi's ears turned red as he looked at Lin Yanshu, pondering how to explain things to her.
Lin Yanshu withdrew her hand, looked at her tightly wrapped palm, and pouted unhappily.
She thought Li Chengyi's bandages looked terrible.
In Li Chengyi's eyes, this scene was a sign that a storm was brewing.
He quickly stood up and stammered an explanation:
"I admit that I have never actually lost my memory."
Lin Yanshu had no idea why Li Chengyi suddenly started talking about this; she hadn't even asked him yet.
Li Chengyi continued speaking to himself:
"My identity is indeed special. I had an accident while investigating a case. Without knowing your background, I concealed my true situation."
Lin Yanshu nodded in sudden understanding and asked earnestly:
"So, are you a high-ranking official in the capital?"
"So, are you extremely rich?"
Li Chengyi smiled when he saw Lin Yanshu's question.
He sees himself as a high-ranking official in the capital, which is not wrong, as the crown prince is indeed a high-ranking official.
He nodded and said softly:
"He's not very rich, but he owns a few mansions in the capital and has some banknotes and antiques."
Li Chengyi wasn't lying to Lin Yanshu; he had been a fairly incorruptible crown prince.
Lin Yanshu grimaced indignantly; she was ready to fight these rich people to the death!
If she still doesn't have money, then she must be dirt poor.
If I had known, I should have squeezed him out more and made him work from morning till night.
However, Lin Yanshu reconsidered. What if Li Chengyi held a grudge if she really did that?
Looking at Lin Yanshu's energetic expression, Li Chengyi couldn't help but smile.
This is the Lin Yanshu he knows best.
He wanted to tease Lin Yanshu, but Huo Zheng knocked on the door and informed Li Chengyi from outside:
"My lord, everyone in the Gu household has been detained. When will they be interrogated?"
For the first time, Lee Seung-ik felt that his capable subordinate was somewhat incompetent.
He's just a criminal; he can be interrogated anytime.
Seeing Li Chengyi's furrowed brows, Lin Yanshu reached out her fingertip and gently brushed between his eyebrows, asking curiously:
Can I come along?
