Abused in the Prince’s Mansion (17)
That night, Wei Jinchi was about to fall asleep when she heard an unknown noise coming from the window.
He reached for the dagger next to the jade pillow and hid it under the quilt.
When someone came in through the window, Wei Jinchi waited calmly.
The man in black walked to the bed, holding the handle of the knife tightly in his hand, and a dazzling cold light suddenly appeared. Wei Jinchi quickly opened his eyes and blocked the man in black's attack with the short knife.
The soldiers met each other in close combat, making a crisp sound.
Like the sound of a pipa string breaking, it is light and crisp, mixed with a few vibratos, which is touching.
When the man in black saw that he was awake, he quickly ran out of the window, and Wei Jinchi quickly followed.
He shouted, "Get the assassin!"
But there was no movement from the surrounding guards, so he had no choice but to continue to follow.
The man in black didn't seem to be familiar with the terrain, and was running around. He followed closely behind him, and when he arrived at the backyard of the palace, he disappeared.
He frowned, looked around, and was about to leave when a familiar figure appeared in the pavilion next to the pond.
Wei Jinchi stepped closer.
After seeing the girl's face clearly through the moonlight, he said coldly: "Jiang Rao, what are you doing here so late?"
Jiang Rao raised her eyes and glanced at him, then continued to pick up the fish food and threw it into the lotus pond.
"Of course it's to feed the fish!"
Wei Jinchi: "..."
It was a shame she could think of coming here so late to feed the fish.
He asked aloud, "Have you seen anyone suspicious?"
Jiang Rao seemed to think about it for a moment, then shook his head slightly.
Wei Jinchi was about to turn around and leave when he heard the girl's exclamation. He turned around and didn't notice that the footsteps behind him were covered up.
"thump……"
He was kicked into the pond.
The water in the pond instantly submerged his body, and he felt a sense of suffocation.
Because of what happened to him when he was a child, he didn't know how to swim, and was even afraid of water, so the consciousness in his mind was instantly flooded, leaving only space.
In despair, Wei Jinchi seemed to hear someone jumping into the water.
After a few seconds, someone hugged his body.
In his hazy state of consciousness, he heard the girl's concerned voice.
"You still don't know how to swim?"
"As stupid as when I was a kid, fool..."
Looking at Wei Jinchi who was unconscious but tightly wrapped around her waist, Jiang Rao had a cold expression on his face.
With the help of the man in black, Lian Chi, he was brought ashore.
Lian Chi was afraid that someone would come and left quickly.
…
"don't want……"
Wei Jinchi was awakened by a nightmare, with cold sweat on his forehead. When he woke up, he found that he was already lying in his room.
The housekeeper heard the noise and stepped forward quickly.
"My lord, you finally woke up!"
Wei Jinchi sat up, the broken hair on his forehead was wet with sweat, and his voice was a little hoarse, "What's wrong with me?"
The butler explained, "The prince fell into the water last night and was rescued by... the princess. The doctor has already come to see..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man seemed to remember something, put on his shoes and ran outside.
"Hey, my lord, you are still not feeling well, where are you going?"
The butler called after him.
Here, Jiang Rao is lying on the soft couch reading a storybook.
The system really didn’t understand the scene last night, [Host, how come you let someone kick Wei Jinchi into the water and then rescued him yourself?]
Jiang Rao did not stop flipping through the storybook and replied in his heart:
[Didn’t you notice how Jiang Mi became his Bai Yueguang? 】
Tongzi recalled that Wei Jinchi fell into the water in Jiang State when he was a child and was rescued by Jiang Mi who happened to see him.
Just as it was thinking about it, it heard its host say, "What if I was the one who saved him?"
No, it’s Jiang Mi...
Wait, the host means Li Daitaojiang!
