Chapter 194 Fainting
"Bullying Sister He."
These five words, like an ice-hardened knife, pierced Xiao Jingren's heart.
He is the Third Prince, yet he is threatened by a fool!
"You...you lunatic!"
Xiao Jingren supported himself on the ground and struggled to get up. The taste of blood in his mouth made him almost nauseous.
"I kill you!"
There was no trace of emotion in Xiao Jingchi's eyes.
He lifted his foot.
The foot was aimed at Xiao Jingren's wrist.
He wants to destroy him!
"don't want!"
Shen He's heart beat into her throat, and she suddenly hugged Xiao Jingchi's waist from behind.
"Jing Chichi, stop it!"
She used all her strength.
"Be obedient, stop fighting, let's go!"
The man's body was as stiff as iron.
The murderous aura emanating from him almost suffocated Shen He.
She had never seen Xiao Jingchi like this.
This is not the silly prince who would follow her, call her "Sister He" in a sweet voice, and be happy because of a piece of candy.
He was... an enraged beast.
"Jing Chi, look at me!"
Chen He's voice was filled with tears. She didn't care about the injury on her back, and turned his body around, forcing him to look at her.
The darkness in Xiao Jingchi's eyes that was enough to devour everything began to crack inch by inch.
The biting cold receded like the tide.
The focus of his eyes fell back on Shen He's pale face.
"Sister He..."
He sounded like he had just woken up from a dream, with a hint of confusion and helplessness in his voice.
"You're bleeding."
His gaze fell on her cloak-covered shoulder, where blood was still seeping out.
"He hurt you."
It's not a question, it's a statement.
Those clear eyes were instantly filled with grievance and heartache, as if it was not Chen He who was hurt, but himself.
He is like two different people before and after!
Chen He's heart was shaken so much that he was speechless for a moment.
Just then—
"He'er!"
An urgent voice filled with suppressed anger came from outside the hall.
Under the moonlight, a tall figure walked in quickly. The man was dressed in brocade clothes, with sharp eyebrows and eyes, and exuded a paranoid aura that kept strangers away.
It’s Xiao Minglan!
His gaze swept across the room like a sharp sword.
When he saw Chen He, whose clothes were disheveled and wrapped in Xiao Jingchi's cloak, and Xiao Jingren, who was curled up like a dog on the ground with blood all over his face, the air pressure around him suddenly dropped to freezing point.
"Xiao Jingren!"
Xiao Minglan's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"You're looking for death!"
He didn't even glance at Xiao Jingchi, and walked straight towards Xiao Jingren. His posture was even more terrifying than Xiao Jingchi's just now!
Xiao Minglan's eyes were bloodshot as he approached step by step.
The paranoid and violent aura around him almost solidified into substance, and was even more biting than the night wind in late autumn.
Xiao Jingren on the ground was terrified.
A fool has already cost him half his life, and now there is a madman, he is afraid that he will really die here today!
Chen He just felt overwhelmed.
Everything before my eyes has completely gotten out of control!
One was the prince of the current dynasty who was beaten half to death.
One is a foolish prince who is mentally retarded and does not know how to handle his actions properly.
There is another one, the young master of the Dingguo Mansion, who is extremely paranoid. Once he goes crazy, he even dares to contradict the emperor!
No matter which of these three people gets into trouble again, she and the Shen family behind her can't afford it!
"Minglan, stop!"
Shen He's voice was trembling and hoarse, a tone she herself didn't even notice.
However, Xiao Minglan seemed not to hear it.
In his eyes, there was only that damn Xiao Jingren.
He dared to hurt her!
How dare he!
It's over.
Chen He's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
She knew Xue Minglan too well. When he went crazy, he wouldn't listen to anyone!
what to do?
what to do!
In a flash, a person's face suddenly flashed through Shen He's mind.
Shen Jiao.
It was her stepsister who was the best at pretending to be weak and gaining sympathy.
A trace of disgust and self-mockery flashed across Shen He's eyes.
The means she despised the most, the tricks she looked down upon the most...
Unexpectedly, one day, it would become her only lifeline.
Whatever.
As long as the current mess can be resolved, what's wrong with letting her use Chen Jiao's trick once!
"Well……"
A very soft cry of pain escaped from Chen He's throat.
Her body swayed limply, as if all its strength had been drained away.
"Sister He?"
Xiao Jingchi, who had been silently protecting her, noticed that something was wrong with her at the first moment.
He turned around immediately and held her nervously.
Xue Minglan, who was rushing forward, suddenly stopped!
"He'er?!"
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Shen He.
Chen He grabbed Xiao Jingchi's sleeve, her knuckles turning white from the force. She raised her eyes with difficulty and glanced at the two men full of hostility.
She was barely breathing and her face was as pale as paper.
The next second, she closed her eyes, completely lost consciousness, and fell straight into Xiao Jingchi's arms.
"Sister He!"
Xiao Jingchi exclaimed and pulled her soft body into his arms with quick and steady movements.
"He'er!"
Xue Minglan also rushed over like crazy, trying to snatch Xiao Jingchi from his arms.
"Get out of here!"
Xiao Jingchi held the person in his arms, turned around, and faced Xue Minglan with his back. His clear eyes were once again filled with a beast-like ferocity.
"Don't touch her!"
Just then, hurried footsteps were heard, and the palace guards and imperial physicians finally arrived.
The scene became even more chaotic.
Chen He fainted in Xiao Jingchi's arms, only hearing the noise around her, but her heart was strangely calm.
Soon, a strong and warm embrace lifted her up horizontally.
The embrace was steady, with a refreshing and pleasant pine scent that made her feel inexplicably at ease.
Chen He quietly narrowed his eyes.
What caught my eye was Xiao Jingchi's angular jawline and his tightly pursed lips.
It's him.
Chen He was completely relieved and closed his eyes peacefully again.
***
On the carriage back to the Shen Mansion.
The carriage was so quiet that we could hear each other's breathing.
Chen He was still "unconscious" and was carefully held in Xiao Jingchi's arms. He even took off his outer robe and covered her tightly with it.
The carriage rocked gently, like a cradle of childhood.
Chen He almost fell asleep.
Just as she was dozing off, a low and aggrieved voice sounded above her head.
"Sister He."
Shen He's body stiffened.
I just heard the soft and sticky voice continue.
"Sister He lied."
He paused, as if afraid that she would be angry, and rubbed against her arms again, his voice becoming quieter.
"I didn't faint."
