Black Rat shook his head with a bitter expression: "Young Master, he didn't say anything. He probably felt that there was no point in saying anything, and that he would surely die anyway."
"Keep asking," Zhou Cheng ordered without looking up.
His focused expression as he applied the medicine was reflected in Cheng Xianyi's pupils.
Cheng Xianyi stared at Zhou Cheng with tender yet restrained eyes, as if she could never get tired of looking at him, especially when this man held her wrist and she felt the touch of his skin against hers.
Only then does Cheng Xianyi feel a sense of reality.
Only then will it dawn on you.
He really did come back to her.
No,
She finally managed to snatch A-Cheng back from Miss Lin's hands.
But that feeling was shattered the next second, because the voice of the black horse rang out outside the tent: "Young master, two letters have arrived from the capital, urgently!"
Ziyan, who was standing not far away and had just witnessed their public display of affection, suddenly looked up.
Looking at the two letters in the black horse's hand, her temples throbbed violently.
It's here!
Lin Jiaoyun's distress letter arrived.
"read."
Hei Ma immediately opened the first letter and read: "The Black Dragon has sent a message that Emperor Yan was furious after learning that you had left Lituo County safely. He issued an edict at the border appointing Deputy General Zhang as the commander-in-chief, leading the remaining 170,000 troops."
"Heilong also said that he and the Su family searched the entire capital but could not find Miss Cheng's whereabouts. If there is no news in seven days, he will commit suicide to atone for his sins."
Speaking of this,
Black Horse looked up and glanced at the obedient woman nestled in Zhou Cheng's arms.
She was stunningly beautiful, with skin so delicate it looked like it could be squeezed to release moisture, and especially those innocent, clear eyes. No matter how you looked at her, she didn't seem like the vicious woman the deputy guard had described!
I wonder if the spy sent by the Marquis of Pingyang has lost his mind!
He cried out for justice all night, insisting that Miss Cheng had slit the guard's throat with a knife, and begged the young master not to believe Miss Cheng. No matter how much torture he was subjected to, he refused to change his story, making it sound like the truth.
'Miss Cheng is so delicate and pitiful.'
'That damned spy must be misleading me; how could she slit someone's throat?'
'Looks like the punishment was too lenient. I'll brand him with a hot iron later!' Black Horse thought to himself.
He then opened the second letter.
Black Horse's gaze fell on the letter, and his expression suddenly froze. He glanced at Zhou Cheng with a complicated look, then looked at the words on the letter: "Young Master, this, this letter says..."
"It says you need to go to the capital immediately, it says..."
Heima found it hard to say it in front of Miss Cheng.
Is it true that Lin Jiaoyun was betrothed?
Should Zhou Cheng be sent to the capital to abduct the bride?
"Read it." Zhou Cheng didn't even lift his eyes, gently bandaging Cheng Xianyi's wound.
"Then may I read it aloud, young master? This letter says that Emperor Yan knows that your actions before leaving the capital were all a smokescreen. On the surface, it seems that you have changed your mind about Miss Cheng, but in fact, there is another reason."
"Therefore, Emperor Yan ordered that the forest be..."
"Hiss—" Cheng Xianyi suddenly hissed softly.
The dark horse's sentence was interrupted.
Zhou Cheng looked up and glanced at Cheng Xianyi, who was frowning slightly: "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
"Hmm." Cheng Xianyi raised her bright eyes to look at Zhou Cheng, her eyes reflecting only his image. "Cheng, it hurts a little. I want you to blow on it."
Ziyan, sitting in the corner warming herself by the fire: "......."
