Chapter 152 Just to Save You
The cave was silent and filled with a subtle atmosphere.
Ye Chutang blinked his eyes, a faint smile forming on his lips.
"Your Highness has always been smart. Nothing escapes your eyes."
She moved slightly, changed into a more comfortable position, and leaned against the mountain wall.
"The other side has many people and is very powerful. Even if the prince is skilled in martial arts, I'm afraid he is no match for them. Moreover... the prince just recovered from a serious illness not long ago, so it may be even more difficult to deal with him. Although my method is stupid, it is useful. The prince should not bother with me, right?"
What are you worrying about?
She saved him and even got injured for it. From any angle, what she did was impeccable.
Chen Yanchuan could only express his gratitude.
But the word "thank you" was stuck in my throat and I couldn't say it out.
"You could have avoided it, why didn't you?" Shen Yanchuan asked.
The situation was critical at that time. If it were an ordinary woman, she would definitely not be able to escape, but Ye Chutang was different.
As early as when he was in Jiangling, he knew that she definitely had martial arts skills.
Ye Chutang's eyes curved: "Doesn't this look more realistic?"
Shen Yanchuan stared at her and didn't speak for a long time.
Ye Chutang tilted his head back slightly and closed his eyes.
She was acting, but the injury was real. Before returning safely, she still had to conserve her strength to prevent the wound from worsening.
Otherwise, if Xiaowu sees me when I turn around, I will start crying again.
After a long silence, the cold voice came again.
"Why are you helping me so much?"
Ye Chutang opened his eyes and tilted his head to look.
Outside the cave, the sky was gloomy, with wind and rain. Shen Yanchuan stood with his back to the cave entrance, his hands behind his back, and his facial expression could not be seen clearly.
Ye Chutang felt that his tone seemed a little different from usual, but he couldn't tell what was different. After thinking for a while, he said sincerely, "Your Highness has helped me many times before, so I should return the favor."
Chen Yanchuan asked back: "Even life and death can be ignored?"
Ye Chutang felt that Chen Yanchuan seemed particularly nosy today, and kept asking questions of all kinds.
She paused, then spoke frankly, "I didn't expect them to make such a big fuss. The darts are fine, but why are the arrows poisoned?"
Fortunately, she picked a dart. If she had been unlucky and got hit by an arrow, it would have caused a lot of trouble.
Chen Yanchuan: “…”
Ye Chutang said again: "Hey, speaking of this, I looked at that arrow, is it the same as the one that injured you before? Is the mastermind behind this the same person?"
Shen Yanchuan said "hmm".
Ye Chutang looked at him with some sympathy in his eyes: "What deep hatred does this person have with you that he wants to kill you like this? But fortunately, you are difficult to kill... No, I mean, you are really blessed and lucky, my Lord."
To show his sincerity, Ye Chutang gave a thumbs up, looking very sincere: "Really."
Chen Yanchuan: “…”
He suddenly felt that he was thinking too much.
Since she came prepared, she would naturally not put herself in a desperate situation, and everything was safe.
Although she was injured, judging from the spirited look in her voice now, it seems that there is no serious problem.
Chen Yanchuan's originally anxious heart was slightly relieved, but when he saw her bloody clothes, the inexplicable pain in his chest still lingered.
Ye Chutang said, "It's raining heavily outside, you should come over and rest, Prince. In this situation, it's hard to say whether they can find us."
Chen Yanchuan came over, took out a tinder from his arms, and pretended to light some dry branches he had picked up earlier.
Ye Chutang stopped him: "It's not cold now, let's order it later."
Chen Yanchuan turned his head to look at her, and actually accepted the letter. Then he asked, "So when do you think we will be found?"
Ye Chutang thought for a moment: "Before dark?"
One afternoon should be enough to deal with those assassins.
Shen Yanchuan said: “It’s raining heavily and the mountain road is muddy, I’m afraid it won’t be that fast.”
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Your people should have this ability, right?"
Shen Yanchuan paused.
Ye Chutang curled his lips and said, "When the prince went up the mountain today, didn't he already know that this was a Hongmen Banquet and made all the arrangements in advance?"
…
This sudden heavy rain trapped many pilgrims in the temple.
Amid the hustle and bustle, many people were keenly aware of the unusually depressing and tense atmosphere.
Many people began to discuss in low voices.
"What happened? I see the abbot and the others seem to have come out?"
“I don’t know…”
"Don't you know yet? There is an assassin on this mountain! At noon, the prince of Dingbei and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi were drinking tea in the pavilion halfway up the mountain. Unexpectedly, an assassin showed up and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi was injured. The prince of Dingbei even accidentally fell off the cliff and has not been found yet!"
"Oh my god! Is this true? I was wondering why there were so many people outside and they were guarding this place so strictly. So - how is the Dingbei Marquis's son now?"
"I haven't found him yet! The mountain is steep and it's raining. How can it be easy to find someone?"
"I really don't know who that assassin is. He is so bold!"
"I just heard that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi has ordered the mountain to be closed. The people from the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion should be arriving soon. Those assassins will definitely not be able to escape even if they have wings!"
…
"Hasn't the person been found yet?"
Xiao Chengxuan asked in a deep voice.
The guard bowed his head: "I am incompetent!"
Xiao Chengxuan narrowed his eyes, looked at the dark sky outside, and ordered: "If you can't find him, then keep looking! Don't let any of today's assassins go! As for the Dingbei Marquis's son... I want him to be found alive or dead!"
The guard was startled: "Yes!"
…
There is still no sign of the rain decreasing.
Ye Chutang looked at it and felt a little worried.
——Ayan and Afeng are not at home today, and her medicinal herbs are still drying in the yard.
I guess I can’t have this now.
Alas, this time in order to save Chen Yanchuan, we suffered heavy losses and made a huge loss.
I have to find a way to make it up to you later.
Chen Yanchuan had no idea what Ye Chutang was thinking. Seeing that she had become quiet after she finished speaking and had no intention of continuing, he said:
"I do know. But that's between him and me. Miss Ye Er...how did you know that?"
Ye Chutang turned around upon hearing the voice, and met those deep phoenix eyes that seemed to see through everything, and felt a slight headache.
——The thing I was most worried about finally happened.
The most puzzling thing about today's incident, after all, is: she knows too much!
But she couldn't say that she knew it from a dream, right?
Whether it was the meeting between Chen Yanchuan and Xiao Chengxuan today, or the ambushing assassins, or even the missed step and the cave that rolled down, she had discovered them all in her dreams.
She'd never even been here before.
"I have my own way. I came here today to make sure that the prince is safe." Ye Chutang said shamelessly, "It's just that it's inconvenient to tell the prince, I hope you can forgive me."
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyelids slightly.
Prince: She said she did it for me.
Ye: ...What's wrong with this person? He only listens to half of what you say?
Prince: She also asked me what disease I had. She really, she loved it so much.

February (Aunt laughs): I got it! Lock it up for me!
