Chapter 170 Chapter 170 She shouted, "Ayue——......
Chapter 170
Ye Changning naturally had no way to respond - he was not her lover, just a passerby with no destiny.
Fortunately, Lin Zhiyi didn't need him to respond.
After confirming that the person next to her was 'Ayue', she closed her eyes again and let her consciousness rise and fall.
"Don't sleep yet. How do you feel? Are you feeling better?" Ye Changning lowered his voice and deliberately blurred the tone - it was a rare gentleness.
"Hmm..." Lin Zhiyi murmured, "Ayue is amazing... Now that you're here, I don't feel uncomfortable anymore..."
Ye Changning: “…”
What kind of useful information can you get by asking an insane person?
But seeing that she vomited blood, she should be getting better.
The most important thing is that she has been given the antidote. As long as she can detoxify and her life is not in danger, internal injuries will be a minor problem.
Just take care of it slowly for a while.
Ye Changning channeled his internal energy into Lin Zhiyi for another quarter of an hour before completing this round of healing.
He gently put the person back on the straw mat, looked around, and found that this place was really simple and there was nothing to change, so he had to give up.
They all came in a hurry and anxiously, and the rainstorm came suddenly, so they couldn't immediately use their outer robes as cushions or quilts like Zhou Mingyan did.
Fortunately, the fire starter was still there and could still be used. There were no other good things in the cave, but there were a lot of dry branches and fallen leaves piled in the corner, which could be used to ignite and make a bonfire for warmth.
After the wet clothes are completely dried, they can be used as mats or blankets for the wounded.
Zhou Mingyan and Lin Zhiyi had not lit a bonfire because they were worried that the fire would attract wild beasts and killers.
Ye Changning, Youyi and others are here now, and the antidote is in hand, so there is no need to worry about attacks from the remaining killers.
——The bonfire soon lit up, illuminating the dim cave a little.
Zhou Mingyan, who was standing aside, looked at the flickering flames, and his heart finally settled down.
It should be... safe.
Ye Changning took off his outer robe, dried it thoroughly by the campfire, and then carefully put it on Lin Zhiyi.
Zhou Mingyan witnessed all this quietly while regulating his breathing, feeling somewhat complicated.
Is Ye Changning's feelings for Xiuyuan... a romantic one?
That’s right, if I had known that Xiuyuan was a woman, how could I not be attracted to her?
He now had some understanding of why Ye Changning and Xie Junnuo were unwilling to marry.
With such outstanding people before you, no matter how outstanding the people you meet later, they will seem not as amazing as you.
Noticing his gaze, Ye Changning suddenly turned around and met his eyes.
Zhou Mingyan blinked, looked away, and asked, "Why is Brother Ye here?"
Ye Changning: "I dug up some clues about an old case from a former serious criminal. When Lord Qin entered the city, he encountered the three assassin brothers and felt they looked familiar, so he reported the matter. After investigation, I found that they were the ones who hurt Wei Ying and Qin Xiao. I was worried that they might harm... the prince consort, so I quickly chased them."
He sighed, glanced at the unconscious Lin Zhiyi, and added, "I know one of the assassins is skilled in disguise. I was worried he might try to lure you in by appearing like someone you know, waiting for an opportunity to strike—but I didn't expect he'd be a step too late."
Moreover, the person the other party used actually looked like him!
Zhou Mingyan: "I see. The killer's reason is the same as you guessed."
Ye Changning: "It seems they did a lot of homework in advance and knew that they would be exposed in the capital sooner or later, so they took the risk and accepted this job."
Zhou Mingyan: "Is it the Cheng family?"
If it was the Cheng family, everything would be easy to explain.
Ye Changning: "Eighty to ninety percent."
Zhou Mingyan: "But it still needs to be tried, right?"
Ye Changning: "...Yeah." He lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, the evidence is solid this time. They can't get away. The culprit will also receive the punishment he deserves."
Zhou Mingyan: "I believe in Brother Ye! Xiuyuan too!"
Ye Changning fell silent, looking at Lin Zhiyi's pale sleeping face, his thoughts began to drift.
Did she trust him, too? Unconditionally?
But he was still burdened with the indelible shackles of the "Queen's Party" and the "Grand Prince's Party".
Due to different natural positions, he gradually drifted away from many of his colleagues and old friends.
He didn't want this to happen, but others didn't dare to take the risk.
Especially when it comes to risking life and death.
Actually, if you think about it carefully - she doesn't seem to mind these things.
Since I met him, I have always been sincere to him.
Never changed.
Unless... he really shows a side that is disadvantageous to her, she will be wary and distant.
He couldn't bear to let this sincerity go to waste.
I don't want to hurt this innocent heart.
Ye Changning silently withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes and regulated his breathing.
Now that he is her guardian, he must quickly recover the internal energy that was just transferred from his wounds to better ensure her safety.
…
In the early hours of the morning, Lin Zhiyi had a dream.
She dreamed that Jingyue was also assassinated.
Because she took most of the elite guards in the mansion with her when she went out on business, the princess's mansion was seriously understaffed.
Although Tang Cong and others are very powerful, they cannot withstand the opponent's sneak attack.
The assassins worked together from inside and outside, and had secret reinforcements.
Finally he succeeded in getting close to Jing Yue and stabbed his heart!
Lin Zhiyi was extremely anxious in her dream. She tried to get closer but couldn't. She shouted "Ayue——" and suddenly woke up.
She suddenly stood up, causing internal injuries, and she pressed her chest and groaned in pain.
"Are you having a nightmare?" A slightly cold but tender voice came from the side.
Lin Zhiyi slowly raised his eyes and looked at Ye Changning in shock. He was startled at first, then quickly confirmed that the person in front of him was Ye Xiuluo himself, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Ye, why are you here?"
Ye Changning repeated the reason he had given Zhou Mingyan last night, and then asked her, "How do you feel? Are you feeling better?"
Although his chest still hurt, the stuffy feeling was much lighter than last night. Lin Zhiyi smiled and said, "Much better. Thank you, Brother Ye, for helping me heal my wounds."
She was so calm, her smile was as beautiful as a flower, and her peach blossom eyes were sparkling. Ye Changning felt a little embarrassed.
Ye Changning didn't dare to meet his gaze, and said with lowered eyes, "You're welcome." He turned around and said, "I'll go check on Mingyan."
"Okay." Lin Zhiyi was also worried about Zhou Mingyan, so his eyes followed Ye Changning's back until he squatted beside Zhou Mingyan, and then moved to Zhou Mingyan.
As a martial artist, Ye Changning could feel the gazes of others. After the burning gaze moved away, the tension in his back was slightly relieved.
"How is he?"
"The poison has been resolved, and the other injuries are superficial."
"Is the fever gone?"
"Retreat."
Speaking of this, Ye Changning remembered that Lin Zhiyi also had a fever.
He stayed with her for half the night, and her fever subsided a little in the early morning. He didn't know how she was doing now.
"How about you? Are you dizzy? Do you have a headache?"
Lin Zhiyi said honestly: "I still feel a little dizzy, but I don't have a headache anymore."
"That's good."
Lin Zhiyi thought of the dream he had just had, and a layer of sadness hung over his brow.
Ye Changning asked: "What nightmare did you have?"
"I dreamt that something happened to Ayue..." Lin Zhiyi forced a smile. "Dreams are the opposite of reality, so he should be fine. Did anything special happen when Brother Ye left the capital?"
Ye Changning recalled for a moment and shook his head. "I haven't heard of anything else special." He comforted her, "Don't worry, the princess is blessed with good fortune and intelligence. She lives at the feet of the emperor, and the princess's mansion is surrounded by experts. He will be fine. As for you, you need to take good care of your internal injuries for a while. Don't let the princess worry."
Lin Zhiyi's brows relaxed and he smiled, "Brother Ye is absolutely right."
