Chapter 446 Do you want to kill him?
Inside the space, Shen Jinyao felt that her fever had finally subsided.
Before she entered the space, she was surrounded and attacked by four men in black.
I don't know whose sword pierced my shoulder.
At that time, the fire outside had not reached this side of the courtyard, and no one could see her because she was at the corner of the connecting corridor.
In the emergency, Shen Jinyao quickly hid in the space.
There were only herbs in the space, so she gave herself emergency bandaging.
He found some herbs and drank them casually.
Today, to their surprise, the number of assassins in black suddenly increased, and she intuitively felt that this was not the Emperor's doing.
Who on earth set the fire and committed the murder?
This was a clear attempt to take her life amidst the chaos, and to completely wipe out the Xiang family.
She had a guess in her mind.
Once she left, everything became clear.
She couldn't hear any sound in the space, but there was a clock she had found in the Western Regions. Although it was very simple and not exquisite compared to modern clocks, it was still usable enough to tell the time.
She had been asleep for an unknown amount of time, and when she checked the time, it was already evening outside.
It seems that Xiang's army should have arrived by now.
If it hasn't arrived yet...
That means...
The plan failed.
Everyone will become prisoners; she needs to find a way to escape quickly.
but……
She believed that the Crown Prince and Xiang Hongxuan would not make a mistake.
Even if the emperor was already on guard, she believed that the arrogant emperor would not have thought things through so thoroughly.
It's almost time, she needs to hurry out.
Just in case, she grabbed her sword, ready to drag anyone in and kill them if they were outside!
When Shen Jinyao appeared, she saw a person lying on the ground and a man standing next to him.
Without saying a word, she pressed the knife against the man's neck and silently brought him into the space.
Xiang Hongxuan sensed a familiar presence behind him, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind: Could it be her...?
Before I could even turn around, a sword appeared at my neck, and my vision instantly brightened. The surroundings became unfamiliar, like being in a mountain.
He suppressed his shock!
The sword at his neck moved slightly away, but he didn't put it down.
He turned around and saw the person he had been longing for day and night.
"Jin'er..."
He ignored the sword at his neck and took a step forward.
"You are hurt."
Shen Jinyao was covered in blood, and there were bandage marks on her arms. Xiang Hongxuan felt as if something had stabbed him in the heart.
He didn't look at his surroundings again, nor did he pay attention to the sword in Shen Jinyao's hand.
He walked straight toward Shen Jinyao, his eyes fixed on her injury.
Shen Jinyao's already pale face became somewhat uncomfortable.
"Xiang Hongxuan, do you know where this is?"
Xiang Hongxuan paused for a moment; there was no way to avoid this question.
He was so intelligent, how could he not know why Shen Jinyao hadn't put down her sword yet?
He knew that Shen Jinyao had a secret, but he was afraid that if he found out, it would ruin their relationship.
Xiang Hongxuan said seriously, "I don't know, and I don't want to know. You can take the sword, but let me see your injured arm."
Shen Jinyao didn't expect Xiang Hongxuan to say that.
Isn't he even a little bit curious?
She then made some harsh remarks.
“If it weren’t for you, this person would have died by my sword the moment I dragged him in. So, you…”
Before Shen Jinyao could continue speaking, Xiang Hongxuan gently lifted her arm to examine her.
The bandaging was simple and somewhat rough, with only herbal medicine applied.
He moved and pulled a medicine bottle out of his pocket.
Shen Jinyao had seen the medicine bottle before.
Xiang Hongxuan had given her a few bottles before.
Because of his movement, the sword made a shallow cut on his neck.
Although it wasn't deep, blood was still flowing out.
Xiang Hongxuan applied the medicine to Shen Jinyao with a normal expression.
Shen Jinyao's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
This man!
She was a little irritable.
I haven't felt this irritable since I transmigrated here.
When her secret was exposed, she should have killed Xiang Hongxuan immediately, but only Xiang Hongxuan knew that there was no murderous intent in Shen Jinyao's eyes.
Some are filled with endless entanglement.
"Take care of the injury on your arm first, then figure out how to deal with me, okay?"
Xiang Hongxuan's tone was somewhat uncompromising, but also somewhat indulgent.
This made Shen Jinyao even more uncomfortable.
She immediately sheathed her sword and remained silent.
Xiang Hongxuan quietly applied the medicine to Shen Jinyao, and after finishing, he naturally went to the backyard to find something to eat.
Shen Jinyao ignored him and found a place to sit down and fumed.
She was mostly angry with herself and felt extremely frustrated.
If she had known that the person outside was Xiang Hongxuan, she definitely wouldn't have brought him in.
There was a stove, a pot, rice, and even charcoal and firewood in the courtyard.
He found fresh steamed buns and porridge.
Could it be that Shen Jinyao did it herself?
The bowl used to serve the porridge was from the Xiang family's household; he had seen it before.
The snacks placed to the side also looked like they came from the Xiang family's kitchen.
He touched the porridge and found it was still hot.
He brought some hot porridge to Shen Jinyao.
"Let's eat something first."
Shen Jinyao stirred slightly, did not refuse, and slowly finished her porridge.
Xiang Hongxuan just watched her drink.
In fact, he had not eaten or drunk anything for two days.
However, he felt nothing at all; his mind and eyes were completely focused on the woman in front of him.
This woman almost disappeared from his world.
He was glad that he had believed the man in black.
I chose to wait for her where I was.
Although the fire in the mansion had been extinguished, the Xiang mansion was no longer habitable. The others had been settled, and only he and the man in black remained in the entire mansion.
This was his order.
Outsiders assumed that General Xiang was unable to find Lady Xiang and was unwilling to leave.
The crown prince came to see him in person, but he didn't move.
Compared to never seeing him again, what does it matter if she has secrets or even wants to kill him?
One person is eating a bowl of porridge while the other is watching.
The two had different thoughts, and neither of them spoke.
After finishing the porridge, Shen Jinyao's chaotic mind finally cleared up a bit.
She knew that her feelings for Xiang Hongxuan were somewhat different now.
Otherwise, seeing the sword on that person would make me incredibly sad.
That's it.
So what if I know? I won't die.
If he betrays her, she will drag him down with her even if it means her death.
"feel better now?"
She heard Xiang Hongxuan's slightly softer voice in her ear, and Shen Jinyao looked over, deliberately ignoring the bright red mark on the neck of the person opposite her.
The blood had dried naturally, but it was still somewhat glaring.
She nodded.
Where Shen Jinyao couldn't see, Xiang Hongxuan unconsciously loosened his grip, his palms slightly sweaty.
They even secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Judging from her tone, it seemed to be the same as usual.
Unlike when she first dragged him in, she didn't want to sever all ties with him.
"Want to know what's going on outside?"
Shen Jinyao nodded slightly.
"We won, but the Xiang family mansion is gone. However, the Crown Prince promised to give us a new house."
"And there's the estate; I need you to go there."
Without Shen Jinyao, no one can get in.
Shen Jinyao listened attentively and nodded.
"How is the situation in the palace?"
