Birds on the edge of the abyss 40
So Chongguang went to the government to seek help from the government.
But who would have thought that the government officials would beat Chongguang out with clubs, saying that Chongguang came here to cheat for food and drinks, and refused to admit that Chongguang was from the Zhenguo Mansion. Wuwuwu... If he hadn't fainted from hunger on the road and was rescued by His Royal Highness Prince Jing who was passing by, I'm afraid that Prince Brother would never see Chongguang again..."
After listening to Shen Changle's brief narration, Chu Xin felt that things were not that simple. He avoided Shen Changle's outstretched hand and lowered his eyes.
"In that case, I will take you away after I find you from my brother. I also thank my brother for taking such good care of Chongguang."
"No, no," Chu Xiao laughed playfully. He looked at Shen Changle, whose eyes flashed with resentment, and could not help but sigh in amazement. Such a ruthless young man, I don't know how Chu Xin was so blind to fall in love with him.
In terms of talent, appearance, family background, and status, Shen Luli is superior in every way. Moreover, she is a rare beauty. If she were a woman, she would have been taken into this king's pocket long ago. It's a pity that she is a man. Chu Xiao feels very regretful.
Chen Changle's eyes swept across the corner of the hall, looking at the slightly floating curtain, and raised the corners of his lips. He rushed over and continued to hug Chu Xin's arm. Seeing that Chu Xin did not avoid him, he raised his head and said sweetly
"Who are you looking for, Prince? Chongguang has been staying in the royal city these days and has never seen any outsiders enter. Let's go back quickly!" As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Xiao nervously.
Chu Xin noticed his expression, moved slightly, and whispered, "What?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing is too cruel. Chongguang has seen many corpses these days and is almost scared to death." Shen Changle whispered in Chu Xin's ear, with a face full of fear.
"Hey, hey, hey, I heard everything," Chu Xiao said with a smile.
"Please be magnanimous and spare Zhongguang's life!" Before Chu Xin could speak, Shen Changle knelt down with a look of horror on his face, shaking as he spoke. Chu Xin pulled him up and gently patted the back of his hand.
"It's okay, you can step back and I will do the talking. There's no need to be so scared."
"Brother Prince..." Shen Changle blinked and said with a little emotion
Bu Nan: ...
"Prince, I haven't spoken yet," Chu Xiao said, tiptoeing.
Chu Xin met his bloodshot eyes and said calmly, "Could it be that my brother would go to such lengths to pick on a child? This is a bit too petty."
"You..." Chu Xiao opened his eyes wide, anger rising in his heart, and instantly slammed the table and roared. But the next moment when he saw Chu Xin's pair of golden eyes staring at him, it was like a basin of cold water poured down from head to toe, chilling him to the bone.
"This severed finger bears your mark. Back when we were studying in the Imperial Study, you solemnly declared that this would be your future symbol. Have you forgotten?" Chu Xin pointed to the tiger-head mark branded on one side of the severed finger and said sideways.
"Those were just jokes from childhood, how could I take them seriously? Prince, you are truly ridiculous. Do you want to use this crude mark to convict me?" Chu Xiao said angrily as a trace of cold sweat slid down his forehead.
"Where is he?" Chu Xin asked calmly. His golden eyes seemed to see through everything, and all lies were nothing to him...
Chu Xiao's chest rose and fell for a moment, then he looked at Bu Nan, who was staring at Chu Xin like a beast, and sneered.
“You have a good dog.”
After being exposed, he stopped pretending. He spread his hands and walked to the side of the hall, saying as he walked, "I am extremely curious. Isn't it just a prop for warming the bed? Is it worth your trouble to come to rescue it?"
He dismissed the guards, stretched out his strong arms to open the curtain, reached out and pulled out the unconscious Shen Luli from inside, and looked at Chu Xin's ashen face and laughed non-stop.
"Look, Prince! This is the beauty you've been thinking about day and night, the one you never want to be apart from. What do you think? He heard everything we just said. I'm sure he's filled with fear, panic, and... despair."
Chu Xiao acted like he was scared, which made Chu Xin furious.
Seeing Shen Luli groaning in pain, blood on the corner of his lips, and a pale face, Chu Xin tensed up. He knew how delicate Shen Luli's body was. Normally, a little force would leave marks on her wrist, and when she was happy, a little heavy movement would make her frown and cry out in dissatisfaction.
How much pain must he be in right now that he is still suppressing the pain in his heart without making a sound even with cold sweat all over his face?
[Ding, Chu Xin's favorability +10, current favorability 95]
"Take your dirty hands away, Chu Xiao!" Chu Xin shouted angrily and spun around.
Chu Xiao pulled Shen Luli into his arms, raised the corners of his lips, pushed her back, and disappeared into the dark room in a moment. The two guards at the door clenched their spears and whispered, "The king has ordered that no outsiders are allowed to enter. Anyone who takes another step forward will be killed!"
"You are the ones who should die," Chu Xin said with a grim expression. Just as he was about to take action, he was startled by Shen Changle's loud shout. His irrational mind suddenly came to his senses.
He looked at the guards of the royal city that appeared around him, their spears pointed at him. Chu Xin closed his eyes and looked at Shen Changle who was rushing towards him. His eyes flashed, but he did not move.
Chu Xin opened his eyes in surprise with a "Puff" sound. He just saw a sharp arrow shot towards him being cut off by Bu Nan, but he ignored the other sharp arrow. At this time, Shen Changle stumbled and fell to the ground after blocking it for him. At the moment when he was about to hit the ground, Chu Xin hugged him in panic, looking at Shen Changle who was weak and powerless and said to him
"Brother Prince..."
Chu Xin opened her mouth, but the words she was about to say were stuck in her throat. Why did she save him? Was she stalling for time? Or was she plotting against me?
Chu Xin didn't say anything hurtful after all. He just stuffed a pill into his mouth, picked him up and whispered, "Hold me tight, and leave the palace immediately."
"Then my brother..." Shen Changle felt that the blood in his body was flowing very fast. In the blink of an eye, blood was flowing all over Chu Xin's body. He was fuzzy and still hadn't forgotten Shen Luli.
Chu Xin gritted his teeth and used his inner strength to break through the arrows that filled the sky. Without saying a word, he lowered his head and looked at the sleeping Shen Changle, frowned, and then said softly
"Go rescue immediately"
"Your Highness, there are too many people. Breaking through is not smooth." Bu Nan, covered in blood, stood in front and said solemnly.
Chu Xin picked up a spear from the ground, stabbed it into the chest of a guard, and laughed softly.
"It seems that Prince Jing has gone mad. He actually dared to openly surround and kill the current crown prince in broad daylight. Even I never thought he would be so stupid as to not even leave himself a way out... Ha!"
