He had a serious expression on his face and kept his eyes open until dawn.
When Xie Shizhu woke up, he pretended nothing had happened and took Xie Shizhu to the palace.
Inside the sedan, Xie Shizhu twisted his hands nervously together, lowered his eyes and remained silent.
At this moment, the sedan chair has reached the only way back to the palace, and the surrounding area is almost entirely surrounded by trees and mountains.
Yan Chou placed his large palm on the back of her hand, his lips curled slightly, "Queen, we're almost at the palace."
Xie Shizhu twitched the corner of his mouth, "Yeah."
As soon as he finished speaking, a pungent smell filled the air. When the guards carrying the sedan chair outside smelled it, they all cried out inwardly that something was wrong. Before they could react, the person had already fainted.
There was a sound of a body falling to the ground outside, and the sedan chair shook and fell to the ground suddenly.
Xie Shizhu was stunned, and her right hand, which was placed on the back of her hand with distinct joints, suddenly dropped. She looked at Yan Chou in panic.
Yan Chou closed his eyes, his thick eyelashes drooped, and his usually gloomy expression became gentle. The plain and elegant white clothes made him look extremely handsome.
There were footsteps outside, and then the curtain of the sedan was lifted by slender fingertips, and Yan Xiuran's fair and elegant face appeared in front of her.
Yan Xiuran smiled faintly and extended his hand to Xie Shizhu, "Let's go."
Xie Shizhu placed her right hand on Yan Xiuran's palm without hesitation. She got out of the sedan chair and got into the car prepared by Yan Xiuran without looking back.
After getting into the sedan chair, Xie Shizhu asked worriedly, "Xiuran, if we leave, will it cause you any trouble?"
Yan Xiuran chuckled and gently stroked her soft hair: "No, we will go to the neighboring country. I have already made arrangements there. Yan Chou will not find us. You are finally free."
Xie Shizhu finally smiled with relief, "Yeah."
Yan Xiuran said, "The journey may be a bit long, but don't worry, when Yan Chou wakes up, we will almost reach our destination and he won't be able to catch up."
Xie Shizhu's eyes were filled with longing for the future. "Okay."
The sedan had been moving for about an incense stick's worth of time when the sedan bearer's voice trembled as he spoke from outside. "Prince Regent, please step out. There seems to be something wrong with this sedan."
Yan Xiuran whispered "OK," and the sedan chair stopped. He said to Xie Shizhu, "I'll go out and take a look. You stay in the sedan chair and don't come out."
Xie Shizhu nodded obediently.
Yan Xiuran got out of the sedan chair and saw the bearer surrounded by a group of guards.
A tall, white-haired man in black clothes was looking down at him, a half-smile on his lips.
Yan Xiuran stood there in a daze, and then the man drew his sword and pointed the blade directly at his heart.
Hearing the silence outside and not hearing Yan Xiuran's voice for a long time, Xie Shizhu subconsciously lifted the curtain of the window.
Suddenly, a face filled with the chill of winter came into view.
Xie Shizhu was so frightened that his face turned pale and his breathing stopped.
Yan Chou looked up at Xie Shizhu with a deep, dark gaze that revealed coldness and murderous intent. He stared at Xie Shizhu intently, a smile of interest on his thin lips.
His voice seemed to come from hell, and a strange atmosphere instantly filled the air around him: "Queen, are you still running away?"
