Chapter 226: The Enemies in the Capital Have a Fall in Love with Each Other 43
Drowsiness and severe pain.
Her head felt as though it was filled with mud. Xin He slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry at first, but as it gradually focused, she suddenly remembered what had just happened.
The accident came too suddenly.
On the way to Shanci Temple, she and A Sui were attacked by several men in black. The horse pulling the carriage was stimulated and suddenly accelerated and rushed down the cliff carrying her.
At the critical moment, it was A Sui who rescued her from the carriage, but in the end, in order to avoid the man in black, both of them fell off the cliff.
By the way, where is Sui?
Xin He looked around anxiously, quickly passing by the shattered carriage not far away, and stopped at a figure who had fainted on the ground somewhere.
"A Sui, wake up! Are you okay?"
Xin He staggered to his feet, dragging his broken leg to the unconscious Sui Er, and first used his trembling hand to check his breath.
After making sure he was still breathing, she breathed a sigh of relief, took out a few pills from her waist pouch, and stuffed them all into his mouth in one gulp.
This medicine is ginseng pills. The doctor said it can replenish qi and calm the mind. Even though she felt better later, she still carried some with her out of habit. She didn't expect it to come in handy today.
It was unknown whether the pills had taken effect, but soon, Sui Er slowly opened his eyes. The first words he said after waking up were a little hoarse and full of relief, "Ah He, luckily you are okay."
"fool!"
Hearing his words, Xin He's eyes instantly filled with tears. She raised her hand and touched his cheek. She smelled the smell of blood and immediately said nervously, "Where are you hurt? I'll bandage you."
"Don't worry, it won't be a problem for now."
Sui Er had been injured more seriously in previous missions, and he didn’t want Xin He to worry about him. “It’s not safe here. Those people might go down the cliff to investigate. We have to find a safe place to hide.”
During the fight just now, he had already released fireworks to ask for help. The people from the Prince's Mansion would definitely come if they saw it, but they still couldn't let their guard down before the reinforcements arrived.
Judging from the skills of the men in black, they should be a group of death warriors. Their purpose is to never give up until they achieve their goal. Now that I am injured and Ah He is a weak woman, the best thing for them to do is to find a place to hide.
Sui Er asked Xin He to pick up a wooden stick nearby for support, and searched for some dry food from the shattered carriage. The two supported each other and walked for nearly half an hour before finally finding a cliff cave.
Sui Er went in to check and found no danger. After he came out, he found some branches and dry grass. He used some of them to cover the entrance of the cave and put the rest on the ground, for fear that Xin He would catch a cold.
Xin He sat on the hay, watching Sui Er busy spreading mosquito repellent powder nearby. She prided herself on being very strong and never believed in anything like fate, but now she was a little shaken.
It was obvious that the group of men in black were coming for her. Although she didn't know who she had offended, she caused Ah Sui to get injured while trying to save her.
Thinking of her fate of being unlucky, Xin He clenched her fingers and lowered her eyes with a trace of fear. She was afraid that her fate would hurt Ah Sui.
After all, God always seemed to like playing jokes on her. Whenever she felt she was very happy, he would give her a blow and bring her back to her original state.
When Sui Er finally finished spreading the powder all around and returned to Xin He with peace of mind, he realized that she seemed to be in a bad mood, with red eyes.
Sui Er thought about it and believed that she was afraid, but he had always been tongue-tied and not very good at comforting people, so he could only use the clumsy method of squatting in front of her and showing his signature silly smile.
He blinked and promised awkwardly: "Ah He, don't be afraid. As long as I am here, nothing will happen to you."
Seeing that he was trying very hard to make her laugh, Xin He forced a smile in cooperation. She lowered her eyes and looked at him, her tone uncertain and fearful, "A Sui, my fate is to be doomed to be alone. What if you..."
"Ah He!!!"
Sui Er interrupted her and boldly held her hand without regard for etiquette. His warm palm carried a firm strength.
"Ah He, I don't allow you to say that about yourself. The attack was an accident. Now the Sixth Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are fighting each other, and you were just implicated. If you want to blame someone, you should blame those men in black and the people behind them.
Don't let your imagination run wild. When we get out, we'll find Abbot Wu. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said he's very effective. We'll calculate again then. Besides, I'm a strong person, so I'm not afraid of any weird or god-like fortune-telling."
It was rare for him to say so many words in one breath. Xin He's inner panic was calmed down a lot. She held his hand tightly and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The two of them stayed in the cave for an unknown amount of time. Xin He leaned on Sui Er's shoulder and felt drowsy. Sui Er bent over slightly to make her feel more comfortable.
He lowered his eyes and looked at Xin He, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a sense of satisfaction arose in his heart. It was a pity that this warmth was interrupted by a few uninvited guests.
He heard footsteps coming from outside the cave. They were not the reinforcements he was expecting, but the group of black-clad assassins.
At the rate they were moving, they would soon discover the cave. He couldn't let Ah He fall into danger, so he had to lead them away.
Sui Er made a decision in his heart. He pressed Xin He's sleeping point, carefully laid her down on the hay, and solemnly and innocently kissed her forehead, "Ah He, I love you."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Xin He was unaware of this. She was first discovered by the reinforcements from the Prince's Mansion. They followed the secret code all the way and found out that the person inside was the Crown Princess.
The leading secret guard immediately divided the people into three groups. He sent someone to guard the entrance of the cave, some of them were quick to go to the Prince's mansion to report the news, and the rest continued to search for people along the traces of fighting outside the cave.
Xin He was awakened by Su Ziyu who came hurriedly. The moment she opened her eyes and saw her brother, she immediately shed tears of grievance and fear and threw herself into his arms, "Brother!"
Su Zi wanted to hug her back, "It's okay, it's okay."
Li Junze, who arrived later, saw the two hugging each other and immediately frowned and pursed his lips. Even though he knew there was no romantic relationship between the two, he still couldn't help wanting to separate them.
Just as he was about to go in, the leader of the secret guards came back and reported, "Your Highness, Sui Er is gone."
Hearing this, Li Junze paused, his eyes instantly sharpened like a knife blade, and a terrifying pressure spread out, hiding a bloodthirsty murderous aura, "Who is it?"
The leader of the secret guards lowered his head and said, "They are a group of assassins. We did not find any tokens that could prove their identity on the bodies."
Li Junze glanced at the two people still in the cave. He couldn't help but recall the scene when Sui Er apologized to Xin He because he fell in love with him. He was such a tongue-tied person, but he could say so many words to express his love.
Li Junze was stunned for a moment, a little bit unconvinced that Sui Er would die. You know, that guy's martial arts is the best among the secret guards. How could a few dead warriors be his opponent?
"lead the way!"
The leader of the secret guards quickly said, "Yes."
