Abused in the Prince’s Mansion (21)

Xie Yan quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hands to protect her and retreat.

The short arrow grazed the man's arm, and his white clothes were torn, leaving a trace of blood.

Looking at the wound on Xie Yan's arm, Jiang Rao was slightly stunned. After he realized what he was doing, he looked behind him. Not far away, a killer had not yet breathed his last. When he saw that the short arrow had missed, he raised his crossbow tremblingly.

A murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

He bent down, picked up the spear on the ground, and shot it at him. The man was hit in the chest by the spear and fell completely.

Xie Yan's eyes flashed slightly as he watched this scene.

Then he chuckled.

As expected of the person he likes, Jiang Rao probably won't be hurt without him protecting her.

But he was holding back.

Jiang Rao turned around and looked at the man with a smile on his lips. She couldn't help but frown slightly. Why were she still laughing even though she was hurt?

Xie Yan seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and said, "Xie thinks Her Royal Highness is powerful."

Jiang Rao: "..."

Does she need his praise?

When Lian Chi came back, he saw the scene where Jiang Rao shot the killer. He was a little shocked.

He bumped the shoulder of Lian Chu next to him, "Did I just see something wrong?"

Lian Chu shook his head, "You read that right."

Lian Chi: As expected, he is the person that his master likes.

It is rare for master and servant to have the same ideas.

…

In the carriage, Jiang Rao helped the man treat his wounds.

His expression was calm and he looked unfazed.

Xie Yan was not at peace inside.

The girl is close at hand, her breathing is shallow, her delicate and beautiful face is surrounded by soft white hair, and the black mole at the corner of her eye adds a touch of charm to her.

Moreover, her movements of applying the medicine were light and slow, just like scratching an itch.

It was so itchy that his heart was trembling.

He lowered his eyes, and the words he asked her to stop stuck in his throat and could not be uttered.

Seeing that he was motionless, Jiang Rao raised her eyebrows and looked at him as he hesitated to speak.

"Is it painful?"

The young man shook his head and said in a low voice, "No."

Jiang Rao continued to lower his eyes, applied medicine to the end of the wound, and finally wrapped it with a white cloth.

"Okay, just apply the medicine twice a day."

Hearing this, Xie Yan paused for a moment before nodding.

Thinking of the assassination not long ago, he opened his thin lips and said, "This incident probably happened because of me, or the person behind the scenes wanted to kill two birds with one stone.

As soon as you cross the border, Jiang Guo will send someone to escort you, and then you won’t have to worry anymore.”

Jiang Rao turned his head and looked at him, "So, you have encountered many assassinations before?" No wonder he raised secret guards to protect him.

Xie Yan pursed her lips and thought about it for a few seconds before continuing, "It's not bad, about once a month."

Jiang Rao: "..."

Is the position of prime minister so high-risk? Emperor Wei was not necessarily assassinated as many times as he was.

The surprised expression on the girl's face was so obvious that Xie Yan probably knew what she was thinking this time without having to guess.

He was about to speak when he heard Jiang Rao put forward his idea, "How about you resign?"

He laughed and said, "If you are in your position, you must bear its weight."

Besides, it is not that easy to resign. If he loses his real power, he cannot guarantee his own safety.

The girl may have thought of it, so she didn't continue the topic.

Outside the carriage, the window was knocked repeatedly, making a sound.

Jiang Rao lifted the curtain from the carriage and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lian Chi: "It's getting dark soon and we haven't found an inn yet. We may need to stay in the wild tonight."

Jiang Rao nodded, "Then find a place to stay and rest."

"yes."

Jiang Rao glanced at the fading blood-red sunset and lowered the car curtain.

The dazzling yellow light on the horizon was mixed with a shocking crimson, just like the red blood from the war not long ago, cruel and enchanting.
