The emperor was injured and sent to the palace for treatment.
This time, Chen Ningzhu also went with him, and even forgot to say a word to Liu Zhiyi.
Liu Zhiyi felt a little strange, but she just thought that her best friend had been with Jiang Xuanyan for a long time and had gradually developed feelings for him. Now that she saw him injured, she was too worried.
Song Hanchuan stepped forward, took her hand, and asked,
"Where to now?"
Liu Zhiyi thought about it,
"Go home. I don't know if they have any backup plans for today's incident. I can't let you, a prime minister, stay by my side as a bodyguard, can I?"
Song Hanchuan nodded.
He thought, well, I'll let Liu Zhiyi go out after he cleans up the capital city thoroughly.
Just as the two were about to return to the carriage, Pei Yunchu quickly stepped forward and tightly grasped Liu Zhiyi's slender wrist.
His body was trembling slightly, as if he was afraid that if he let go, she would disappear.
That handsome face now looked very haggard, and his peach blossom eyes, which used to be full of confidence and charm, were now filled with sadness and pleading.
The eyes that were originally sparkling and charming like a deep pool were now filled with scarlet bloodshot, which made people feel pity.
"Xiaoyi, I really know I was wrong! I beg you, please don't leave, come back to me, okay, Xiaoyi, please consider this as my beg."
Pei Yunchu's voice trembled slightly, and his tone was almost pleading.
He just looked at Liu Zhiyi straight, and the deep affection in his eyes seemed to be able to melt all the ice.
Liu Zhiyi bit her lower lip lightly, feeling mixed emotions.
She once had only a slight affection for Pei Yunchu, but the things that happened later made her see clearly the gap between the two of them, and she decided to stay away from him.
There is no need to force people to have different values.
What happened recently made her good impression on him disappear completely, and she could not forgive him.
"let go."
"I don't, Xiaoyi, please don't be so cruel to me."
Liu Zhiyi was almost laughing out of anger.
This man is really unreasonable.
How was she cruel? Was she cruel to him by not loving him and not following his wishes and being his humble concubine?
If that's the case, then she's cruel.
"Whatever you think, I'll say this one last time, take your dirty hands off me."
Pei Yunchu took a step forward in a hurry, but was hit by Song Hanchuan's knife on the numb part of his arm. Taking advantage of the moment when Pei Yunchu let go of his hand, he kicked him several meters away.
"My wife is not someone you can touch."
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up Liu Zhiyi by the waist, used his lightness skills to fly to the front of the carriage, bent down and carried her into the carriage.
Liu Zhiyi pursed her lips and was about to praise him when she heard a sharp scream coming from outside the car.
"Ah—my dear Cui..."
"Ah ...
In the crowd, two men held their mouths tightly, their faces distorted with pain.
Blood oozed out from between their fingers and dripped onto the ground.
The air was quiet for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, screams rang out one after another.
Those who were observant discovered that all of these people had their mouths smashed and their front teeth knocked out by hidden weapons.
And they were the ones who had just cursed Liu Zhiyi the most and used the most vicious words.
Several people had their eyeballs smashed out, and with a "click" sound, eye fluid spurted out far away, splashing onto the faces and bodies of people nearby, scaring them into screaming.
Seeing that one person's eyes after another had turned into bloody holes, everyone was terrified.
Because they remembered that those people were the ones who showed obscene expressions towards Liu Zhiyi and Shen Ningzhu.
Another person had a broken arm.
Because he had drooled and made a grasping gesture in the air in the direction of Chen Ningzhu.
Those with quick minds have already figured it out.
Without time to think, his knees went weak and he fell to the ground, kowtowed desperately and begged for mercy.
By the way, I quickly recalled in my mind whether I had done anything excessive or said anything that I shouldn't have said.
In the carriage
Liu Zhiyi was stunned for a moment and looked at Song Hanchuan. The man's chest was slightly heaving and his eyes were cold.
Feeling Liu Zhiyi's gaze, he came back to his senses, with a guilty look on his face, he lowered his head and said,
"Qingqing, I'm sorry. I was nearby just now and heard those people using foul language to hurt you."
"I was so angry that I wanted to rush out and tear them into pieces with my own hands. But in order to hide my identity and capture Jiang Qingyi and her accomplices, I had no choice but to swallow my anger for now."
"Qingqing, will you be angry with me?"
Liu Zhiyi shook his head.
In times of emergency, one must act decisively; it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
He had now punished those gossipers on her behalf, and that was enough.
So I smiled and held his cold big hand, and whispered,
"Let's go home?"
"Um."
Song Hanchuan ordered the driver to return home.
He pinched Liu Zhiyi's waist with both hands, pulled her to sit on his thighs, and gently pulled her closer to his arms, letting her be closer to his body.
He buried his head gently in Liu Zhiyi's neck until the familiar scent of gardenia came from his nose. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, and the murderous violence lingering in his heart gradually faded away.
Pei Yunchu's crying voice came from behind the carriage, but neither of them paid any attention. Fortunately, he didn't chase for long before another familiar voice came.
"Evil son, come back here, isn't that embarrassing enough?"
Another familiar female voice followed closely behind.
"My son, are you trying to steal my heart? Look at what you've become for a woman."
"You're injured like this and you still come out. Are you trying to kill me?"
Pei Yunchu shook off the hands of Marquis Pei and his wife, keeping his eyes fixed on the carriage in front. He staggered and tried to continue chasing, but was slapped to the ground by Marquis Pei.
"What a shameful thing! Come on, why don't you bring him back to my house?"
"Yes, my lord."
Several servants immediately stepped forward to support Pei Yunchu.
Seeing her son being beaten, the Marquis' wife burst into tears out of heartache.
"What are you doing? Your son is already in this state, how could you have the heart to do this?"
"You are too kind-hearted. If you hadn't spoiled him, he would have become like this. It's true that a loving mother spoils her child."
Pei Yunchu pushed away the servant who was supporting him, struggled to get up from the ground, and ignored his quarreling parents, continuing to chase the carriage that was almost out of sight.
The Marquis' wife was furious and couldn't help but roar at him.
"Chu'er, are you blinded by lard?"
"What's so good about that woman?"
"She has no rules, is shameless and wanton. After all these years, someone like her might have been played to pieces by someone else. Why do you care about her?"
There are so many famous ladies in the capital, aren’t they better than her?
Each of them is as tall as a ruler, and none of them is not dignified, elegant, beautiful and intelligent.
Besides that impeccable face, what else did she have? She had no family background, no talent, and no education.
