Chapter 107 Xiao Yan, you said you wouldn't hurt her as long as I behaved well
"Catch the assassin."
"There's a fire in the study, hurry up and put it out..."
There was chaos outside, and the sound of weapons clashing.
Xiao Yun narrowed his dark eyes slightly, and tightened his grip on her neck.
"What? Your plan with the eldest prince was to burn down my study? You want to destroy the evidence? Hmm?"
She wanted to destroy the evidence, but she did not conspire with the prince.
Xiao Yan has been getting more and more crazy recently.
He would pinch her neck at every turn, and she clearly felt that he was like a wild horse out of control.
Flammable and explosive!
My chest felt like it was being pressed by a thousand-pound rock, making it suffocating and unbearable.
Lin Zhaoyue didn't care that she was naked, she sank into the water, holding his hand with her slender white hand, and spoke with difficulty:
"Xiao Yan, although I'm not smart, I'm not that stupid either. You have evidence against me. The eldest prince just sent me back today. Even if I really want to do something, I can't choose tonight."
Xiao Yan's eyes moved slightly, and his scrutinizing gaze wandered over her face, not missing any of her subtle expressions.
Just when Lin Zhaoyue was almost suffocated, the hand around her neck suddenly loosened.
Her body lost support and sank into the bathtub, with several bubbles appearing.
The surface of the water is covered with pink petals, making it difficult to see clearly.
Xiao Yan glanced at her coldly, then turned and left.
After choking on the water a few times, Lin Zhaoyue sat up with her weak hands on the edge of the bathtub.
She leaned against the bathtub and tilted her head to spit out the water from her mouth.
Looking at the blood-stained water on the ground, the bones of Lin Zhaoyue's fingers, which were tightly holding the bathtub, turned white.
Xiao Yan!!
When the day comes that he falls from a great height, everything she has suffered will be repaid double.
Lin Zhaoyue turned sideways, took out a pot of tea, rinsed her mouth, and then picked up the pills beside her and started eating.
Since taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Li, she has been vomiting blood more frequently.
Mr. Li said that if you spit out the poisonous blood, your body will gradually get better.
She ate it for several days and indeed felt much more energetic.
After the pain in her body eased, Lin Zhaoyue got up and put on her clothes.
The flames outside did not go out, but burned more and more vigorously, turning half the sky red.
Xiao Yun left the bedroom and went straight to the study.
When I arrived at the study, I saw Shen Yanzhou fighting with a man in black.
Feng Xin directed the guards to put out the fire.
Swords flashed and flew as they collided.
That person's skills were on par with Shen Yanzhou's, and he saw him coming.
He raised his sword and attacked fiercely, forcing Shen Yanzhou to retreat repeatedly.
After kicking Shen Yanzhou off the roof, he raised his foot and wanted to run.
Looking at the man's moves, Xiao Yan pursed his thin lips slightly.
Green bamboo.
Wasn't she imprisoned in the dungeon? Who let her out?
It seems that there are unclean people in the dungeon.
"Bow and arrow."
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, the guard next to him put the bow and arrow in his hand.
He nocked the arrow, drew the bow, and released the string; three arrows were shot at once, all in one smooth motion.
The black iron arrow flew through the air and arrived in front of him in just two moments.
Qingzhu only avoided the arrow on her waist. The other two black iron arrows pierced her calf and thigh respectively.
Her body lost weight and she fell straight down.
The green tiles shattered and the man fell directly into the woodshed.
The arrow penetrated deeper into the leg and blood flowed out.
Xiao Yun raised his foot and flew over the eaves and walls, and everyone could only see a residual shadow.
After just a few jumps, Xiao Yun was in front of Qingzhu and immediately sealed her acupoints, making her unable to move.
He raised his hand and removed her chin.
Pulling aside the veil and seeing Qingzhu's face, Xiao Yan's lips curled up in a cold arc:
"It's really you!"
The guards behind him hurried over, and Xiao Yan asked them to check the poison sac in Qingzhu's mouth.
And then he took off the weapons from her body.
He looked at Qingzhu for a while, then said:
"Go and call Miss Lin over."
When Qingzhu heard Xiao Yan's words, a hint of pleading flashed in his eyes.
When the prince caught her before, he did not reveal her identity to the young lady.
She guessed that the prince was afraid that the young lady would be sad if she knew it.
But this time...
She didn't want her young lady to see disappointment in her eyes when she saw her.
"I have already given you one chance."
He is now looking forward to Lin Zhaoyue's reaction.
And at this moment in the prince's bedroom.
Lin Zhaoyue fell limply to the ground.
Her dress was soaked by the wet clothes, and no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't exert any strength.
She had just changed her clothes when she suddenly smelled a strange fragrance and her body suddenly went limp.
Even my mind felt dizzy and my vision was blurry.
She saw someone coming in wearing a pair of leather gloves, pouring two buckets of kerosene, lighting one, and then leaving quickly.
The flames spread across the kerosene and quickly set the bedroom on fire.
Thick smoke rose up and a hot breath hit my face.
The flames raged, and the gauze curtains, pillars, and floors were quickly ignited, making crackling sounds.
The high temperature took away the thin air in her chest, and the pungent smoke was inhaled into her lungs. Lin Zhaoyue couldn't stop coughing.
"It's bad for the prince. The bedroom is also on fire?"
"What did you say?"
Xiao Yan's heart tightened, his dark eyes narrowed suddenly, and he reached out to grab the collar of the man's clothes:
"What about Lin Zhaoyue?"
The guard who was grabbed by the collar trembled all over and said carefully:
"Miss Lin is still in the bedroom and hasn't come out yet..."
As soon as the guard finished speaking, Xiao Yan let go of his hand and immediately rushed to the bedroom.
The guard's legs went limp and he fell to the ground, gasping for breath, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
He just thought that the prince would kill him!
Qingzhu next to him had a pale face, and his eyes were filled with incredible fear, despair and worry.
Didn't they say they would only burn the prince's study? Why did they burn the prince's bedroom?
What do they want to do?
If anything happened to the young lady, she would never be able to forgive herself...
……
When Xiao Yan arrived, the entire palace had been engulfed in flames.
The fire was so huge that you could feel its heat even from a long distance away.
Although his whole body was burning hot, Xiao Yan only felt cold and painful.
It was as if invisible wild beasts were gnawing at his limbs and bones, causing pain in all his internal organs.
His whole body was shaking uncontrollably, his thin pink lips suddenly lost their color, and a strong smell of rust surged into his throat.
"His Royal Highness..."
"Your Highness cannot go in, the fire is too big..."
Xiao Yun didn't care and rushed straight into the sea of fire.
The extreme heat burned his skin, causing a stinging pain, and he smelled a burnt smell.
"Lin Zhaoyue..."
He shouted again and again, but got no response.
The panic in my heart turned into an abyss that could never be filled.
He looked everywhere but couldn't find her.
Remembering something, he strode towards the bathroom.
When he saw Lin Zhaoyue lying on the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the big hole in his heart seemed to be filled with something.
She fell beside the bathtub, where there was water, and although the fire burned around her, it did not burn her.
The clothes on her body were wet and stuck to her body, and the girl fell into a coma.
Xiao Yan raised his foot and walked towards her. Suddenly, a loud crackling sound was heard.
The beam from the roof fell straight down, and the beam was facing Lin Zhaoyue's position.
If this hit her, Lin Zhaoyue would definitely be smashed into a meat patty.
Almost instinctively, Xiao Yan raised his foot and rushed forward.
He kicked the beam.
He kicked the huge beam hard, causing it to deviate from its original position and hit the bathtub behind Lin Zhaoyue.
Water splashed everywhere, extinguishing the flames around it.
The loud noise briefly woke up Lin Zhaoyue, who was in a coma.
She squinted her eyes with difficulty, and through her blurred vision, she seemed to see Xiao Yan.
Is Xiao Yan here to save her?
Before Lin Zhaoyue could take a closer look or think about it, she fainted again.
Xiao Yun squatted down and put his jade-white hand on Lin Zhaoyue's nose.
Although the breath was faint, he could feel it.
He stretched out his hand, picked the person up and walked out.
The fire was so severe that the severely burned pillars could not support the beams and structure of the house.
The beams of the house fell down one after another.
Xiao Yan held Lin Zhaoyue and carefully dodged.
Thick smoke billowed, and the scorching air was sucked into my lungs, squeezing the air inside and almost suffocating me.
Xiao Yan's vision began to blur, there were crackling sounds everywhere, and even his reactions began to slow down.
Suddenly, a pillar fell heavily in front of them, and Xiao Yan quickly retreated while holding Lin Zhaoyue.
At this moment, a pillar behind him also hit them hard.
Unable to dodge, he held Lin Zhaoyue tightly in his arms and carried her on his back.
The huge impact force hit his back, and Xiao Yan could hear the sound of breaking bones.
The flames licked his skin, and the burning pain made him spit out blood.
Xiao Yan held Lin Zhaoyue's hand tightly and rushed out with Lin Zhaoyue in his arms before he lost consciousness.
When the guards and the imperial physician Li outside the house saw Xiao Yan carrying Lin Zhaoyue out, they all swarmed over.
"His Royal Highness..."
There was chaos all around, but Xiao Yan could not hear anything.
His vision blurred and he fell to the ground.
Even after falling down, he still held Lin Zhaoyue tightly.
Lin Zhaoyue's entire body fell on him, and was quickly taken away...
……
After working until late at night, the fire in the East Palace was finally put out.
Lin Zhaoyue woke up earlier than Xiao Yun.
Her mind was still a little fuzzy and she couldn't react.
All I know is that it was Xiao Yan who saved her at the last moment.
"Miss Lin, are you awake? Are you feeling unwell?"
One of the maids who served her asked, her eyes full of worry.
Ever since Xiao Yan asked her to be her personal maid, she had no maidservants around her.
Lin Zhaoyue looked at her, shook her head and said:
"I am fine."
The maid knew that Lin Zhaoyue didn't know her, so she took the initiative to introduce herself:
"Miss Lin, my name is Yuanyuan. I will be the one taking care of you for the next few days."
Lin Zhaoyue nodded.
Yuanyuan called the imperial physician to check, and after confirming that Lin Zhaoyue was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief:
"I'm glad the girl is okay! But the prince hasn't woken up yet. I don't know that when the prince carried Miss Lin out, we were all scared to death.
Despite the rage, the prince charged forward without hesitation.
If something really happens to this prince, our lives will be over..."
Yuanyuan kept chattering there, but Lin Zhaoyue said nothing.
A trace of confusion flashed across those beautiful eyes.
Why did Xiao Yan save her?
Didn't he want to strangle her every time?
Besides, she didn't have long to live anyway, and Xiao Yan was so angry at that time, he shouldn't have taken the risk.
Lin Zhaoyue didn't feel much emotion other than confusion regarding Xiao Yun saving her.
Gratitude is kindness, hatred is hatred.
It can never be offset by her.
She would not feel any affection for him because he saved her.
The harm he had done to her was real, and if it weren't for him, she wouldn't have come to the East Palace, let alone suffered such a punishment for no reason.
"Miss Lin, do you want to go see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Lin Zhaoyue shook her head and said:
"I'm still a little tired, so you go out first! Keep watch and don't let anyone disturb me."
Yuanyuan saw Lin Zhaoyue lying down again, her mouth slightly open, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
But in the end she said nothing and just walked out.
After Yuanyuan left, Lin Zhaoyue lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Who set the fire?
Before Lin Zhaoyue fell into a coma, she saw the man in black looking for something. It seemed that he didn't find it, so he burned the entire palace...
There was no fire in the Eastern Palace in the previous life, and Lin Zhaoyue didn't know what went wrong.
It seemed as if many things had deviated from the tracks she had identified.
The greater the change, the more things that can go wrong.
The uneasiness in my heart surged up again.
Her thoughts were in a tangled mess, so Lin Zhaoyue simply pulled up the quilt to cover herself to stop thinking so much.
Having experienced so many things that day, Lin Zhaoyue was exhausted both mentally and physically.
She fell into a deep sleep, dreaming about all sorts of things, and her sleep was not restful.
Lin Zhaoyue was awakened by someone staring at her.
When she was asleep, there was always a strong gaze on her.
It gave her the illusion that she was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I met Xiao Yun's dark eyes.
The man's eyes were cold and his jawline was tight.
Lin Zhaoyue knew that he was angry without even having to guess.
She didn't know what he was angry about, so she just looked at him without saying anything and waited to see what he wanted to do.
A nameless rage was raging in Xiao Yan's chest, and he had the urge to strangle her to death.
The two looked at each other, and after a long while, the man gritted his teeth and said:
"Lin Zhaoyue, you are awesome! I was unconscious in order to save you, and when you woke up you didn't even look at me."
These words seemed to be accusing her of being ruthless.
Lin Zhaoyue sneered and said:
"I am not a royal doctor. The Crown Prince is in a coma, so I can't help him."
Xiao Yan was so angry that he almost laughed:
"I got hurt while saving you, and you didn't even ask a question? Have you got your conscience eaten by a dog? Huh?"
Anyone can talk to her about conscience, but when Xiao Yan talked to her, Lin Zhaoyue wanted to laugh.
Because Xiao Yan is the most heartless and conscienceless person in the world.
"What is conscience? I don't think I have one."
Xiao Yan smiled and said coolly:
"What a good one! If you don't have any, don't ask me for it later, because I don't have any either."
As Xiao Yan spoke, he reached out and pulled Lin Zhaoyue up from the bed.
Lin Zhaoyue staggered as he pulled her:
"What does Your Highness want to do?"
"You'll know in a moment."
Lin Zhaoyue was dragged to the dungeon by Xiao Yan. When she saw Qingzhu covered in blood, a surge of anger surged in her chest:
"Xiao Yan, you promised me that you wouldn't hurt her as long as I was obedient!"
