Jiang Shi hugged Yu Tanqi tightly, his heart beating violently in his chest, and the sound of heartbeat was audible.
His breathing sounded clearly in her ears, hot and rapid.
Suddenly, a lot of people showed up around them, and he held her regardless, fearing that something would happen to her if he let go.
Danqing restrained the man in black and looked at Jiang Shi, "Master, how should we deal with him?"
Jiang Shi's voice was slightly cold: "If there is an assassin in Changqiu Palace, it will naturally be handed over to His Majesty for disposal."
"yes."
Dan Hua helped Lin Lang up and asked worriedly, "Lin Lang, are you okay?"
Linlang was gasping for breath, her throat so sore that she had difficulty speaking, but fortunately her life was not in danger.
Aunt Xin Xu frowned, her expression solemn, and said to Jiang Shi, "Prince, Miss Yu, there's an assassin in Changqiu Palace. I have to report this to the Empress now. I'll take my leave now."
After Aunt Xin Xu and Danqing left with the man in black, Jiang Shi still hugged Yu Tanqi tightly.
Even though the girl was wearing thick, warm winter clothes, her petite body was still light and soft, and he could easily hold her in his arms.
His voice was hoarse: "Tan Qi, are you scared? It's all my fault."
Yu Tanqi subconsciously grabbed his sleeve, and the unique fragrance of the young man calmed her anxious heart.
"It's a good thing you came." She said softly, her long eyelashes trembling.
If he hadn't arrived in time, she would have probably fought to her death by now.
Yu Tanqi's character is not as soft and timid as it seems.
In the 21st century, she had seen too many lustful men who always carried a knife with them to guard against unpredictable dangers.
She had no martial arts skills and no strength, but the hairpin in her bun could be used as a weapon. If she caught the man in black off guard, she could hurt him.
As long as they hurt her, save Linlang, and shout loudly, Danhua will come in, and their lives should not be in danger.
But these are all ideal results.
Yu Tanqi couldn't imagine what would have happened to them if she hadn't hurt the man in black.
Jiang Shi felt guilty and a little uneasy.
Even though she didn't say it, he knew how frightened she must have been when she faced the man in black who suddenly appeared.
"Tan Qi, I'm sorry." She was frightened and in danger because of him again.
After Yu Tanqi left with Aunt Xin Xu, Jiang Shi became absent-minded.
He naturally believed in Empress Zhang. Aunt Xin Xu was her most trusted confidant. With Aunt Xin Xu around, she should be fine.
But she was not in his sight, and he couldn't feel at ease.
Suddenly, Jiang Shi saw that Lady Kangle was not at her seat.
If it were in the past, he would naturally not care about someone who didn't want to do it, but he suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Lady Kangle came to him for her son, and he decisively rejected her.
He suddenly felt uneasy.
At this moment, he suddenly saw Yun Xuan get up and leave the banquet.
Almost the next moment, he also stood up and left the banquet.
In front of the main hall of Qingliang Palace, heading towards a side hall, there were traces of someone falling on the ground.
Jiang Shi inevitably thought of Yu Tanqi.
Yun Xuan was standing in front of him at this time and spoke to him, "Why is Prince Jiang coming out too?"
Jiang Shi was not in the mood to deal with it, so he said calmly: "I came out to find my fiancée, so it is inconvenient for me to talk to the prince. I hope the prince will forgive me."
He quickly followed the footprints on the ground and walked towards the side hall.
Seeing Aunt Xin Xu and Dan Hua guarding the door together, he was still worried. As soon as he stepped forward, he heard a sound from inside the house.
He has very good hearing and can hear sounds that even Dan Hua cannot.
The girl's frightened and trembling voice made his heart tighten.
Fortunately, he arrived in time and she was not hurt.
"It's a good thing you weren't hurt." His voice was trembling and hoarse. "You haven't changed your clothes yet. Change them first. I'll be watching over you on the other side of the screen."
Yu Tanqi's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she didn't refuse in the end.
In the face of life and death, what does it matter what the distinction between men and women is? She is afraid of shyness, but she is even more afraid of death.
Jiang Shi let go of her and held her hand tightly, "Let me see if there is any other danger in the house."
After making sure there was no danger in the room, he let go of her hand and asked, "Do you still have the strength to change clothes?"
Linlang had a neck injury, so Danhua took her downstairs to see the imperial physician. At this time, they were the only two people in the room.
Yu Tanqi whispered, "I can change it myself."
Jiang Shi was a little worried, but after all, they had not yet gotten married, so he could only lower his eyelids and whispered, "If you need help, just call me. You and I will eventually get married."
She responded softly, but was still too embarrassed to ask him to help her change clothes.
Jiang Shi walked to the other side of the screen, leaving her with a relatively private space.
Yu Tanqi did not feel relieved, but became more nervous.
The tall and slender figure of the young man was visible on the screen, making it difficult for her to ignore him.
She couldn't help but wonder if he could also see her changing clothes through the screen?
No, the male protagonist is a gentleman, he would never do that.
Yu Tanqi shook his head, lowered his head and began to untie his belt.
She actually can't dress herself.
Ancient costumes are different from modern ones. Not only do they have three layers inside and three layers outside, but they also have many straps and buttons that need to be fastened one by one.
She had been a pampered young lady since she arrived, with servants helping her with dressing and washing every day. She had never studied how to dress neatly and appropriately.
After taking off three wet clothes, her body shivered slightly from the cold.
Jiang Shi stood outside the screen. Although his back was facing the screen, he was still paying attention to her movements.
The sound of clothes falling off was slight, but it still did not escape his ears.
He couldn't help but think of her actions at this moment.
The nervousness and anxiety dissipated, and the air was filled with a charming atmosphere.
Yu Tanqi put on clean clothes in a hurry, but he was flustered because he couldn't find the buttons, and his breathing became a little rapid.
She didn't want to keep Jiang Shi waiting too long.
Jiang Shi's voice sounded gently: "Don't worry, take your time to put on your clothes."
Yu Tanqi became more and more confused as he became more anxious, but he didn't want to just tie the belt and go out. That would be very undignified and it would not be nice to be seen by others.
After a long while, she blushed and stammered, "I...I can't put on my clothes properly. Zi'an, can you find a palace maid to help me?"
Jiang Shi was worried about others approaching her, so she whispered, "If I go out, I won't be able to leave you alone. You should change your wet clothes and put on clean clothes. If you don't mind, I can help you."
"This..." Yu Tanqi looked down and saw that the clothes at the collar and waist were a little messy, and there was nothing that he couldn't see. "Okay, then I'll trouble Zi'an."
Jiang Shi pursed his lips slightly, his Adam's apple rolling, "Then can I go over now?"
"Okay." For some reason, she suddenly became a little nervous.
