Gu Changyuan held Yingning with one hand, freed up his right hand, grabbed Lu Qinghan's neck, and lifted him up directly.

"Six, Your Highness..."

Lu Qinghan didn't expect him to take action as soon as he said so. In surprise, he waved his hands and struggled, trying to pry his hand away.

However, Gu Changyuan's five fingers were like iron hoops. Even if he was injured, it was definitely not something that a weak scholar like him could shake.

Gu Changyuan looked at his gradually red face, the whites of his eyes that turned into blood, and the bulging veins on his forehead, and said quietly: "I really appreciate your talents, but you shouldn't covet the person I like."

He used all his strength to prepare to end his life.

Just when Lu Qinghan was about to die, a hand touched Gu Changyuan's five fingers, and a frightened and weak voice came: "... let go!"

Gu Changyuan was slightly startled, lowered his eyes, and saw the woman in his arms, staring at him with a pair of frightened and angry eyes.

"Let him go."

She repeated hoarsely and slowly.

Her fingers tried to break away from Lu Qinghan's hand.

But, because of his weakness, it was more like a gentle touch.

However, just such a force, which was weaker than the spring breeze, successfully let go of Gu Changyuan's hand.

Lu Qinghan immediately fell to the ground, clutching his neck, gasping for air and coughing violently as if he was on the verge of death.

Ying Ning's hand also dropped.

Gu Changyuan stared at her.

The words and actions just now seemed to have exhausted Ying Ning's strength. She closed her eyes and did not react for a long time.

After gathering some strength, she spoke again: "Put me down."

"You need me to help you get out of here." Gu Changyuan said.

"I want him." Ying Ning looked at Lu Qinghan sitting on the ground.

Lu Qinghan had already recovered. After hearing this, he immediately stood up and prepared to reach out to pick up Ying Ning.

Although he wanted to take Ying Ning away immediately, Gu Changyuan's eyes filled with murderous intent prevented him from confronting him head-on.

He knew that he couldn't touch it either.

Regardless of status or martial arts strength.

This made him uncomfortable.

Especially the way Ying Ning looked at him, as if asking for help, made him feel helpless and heartbroken.

Gu Changyuan fully felt the interaction and emotions between them.

He gathered Ying Ning's cloak and said softly: "If you still want to leave here, Lu Qinghan can't help you. The only one who can help you is me."

"I don't want your help."

"With your physical condition, if you stay here, by the time your brother finds you, you will already be a corpse." Gu Changyuan said calmly, "Unless you don't want to see your parents and family again, nor do you want to see...

That kid."

Thinking of her father, mother, brother, and the newly born Ci'er, Ying Ning couldn't be brave no matter what.

Seeing that she no longer clamored to come down and asked Lu Qinghan for help, Gu Changyuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Why did you kill him just now?" Ying Ning asked again.

"Because he offended me."

"impossible."

After getting along for several months, Ying Ning asked herself to understand Lu Qinghan's character.

He is knowledgeable, talented as a general, and has a gentle and humble personality.

I will never offend anyone without reason.

What's more, the other party is still a prince.

Ying Ning knew that this matter must be related to her.

"Don't kill him." Ying Ning said.

"good."

Gu Changyuan agreed without hesitation.

The refreshing feeling made Ying Ning feel a little unreal.

However, his words were not finished yet.
