Zhong Yuxi still didn't wait for that person. She didn't sleep deeply, and felt a little uneasy in her heart. If Xia Man and the others wanted her life, why didn't they take action?
This feeling is like having a knife on your neck. You don't know what it will cut, but it makes you sleepless and sleepless.
In the middle of the night, she woke up again, and the scratching sound next door became more obvious. She could hear this sound every night from the time the prisoner moved in until now. She heard from the guard that he was a madman, crazy.
He killed a maid when he was there, so he was imprisoned and will be sent to the Ministry of Justice after a while.
She thought about other things randomly, and sleepiness came over her again, but the scratching sound gradually stopped.
Zhong Yuxi had a dream. In the dream, she was trapped in a swamp, and the swamp was slowly swallowing her. She felt a heavy pressure on her chest, and then her nose and mouth were choked with mud. She
I was so scared that I wanted to shout, but I couldn't.
Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng...
She opened her eyes suddenly, and saw a dark thing moving in front of her. She could see clearly, and then she saw that it was a person, and this person's eyes and mouth were cleft, and his eyes were red. At this time, two tigers
Hu's strong hands were pinching Zhong Yuxi's neck.
That crazy guy next door?
Zhong Yuxi suddenly realized that this was Xia Man's plan. Let the killer pretend to be a madman and be imprisoned next door to her. The sound she heard the next night was the sound of him drilling a hole in the wall, and then the hole was completed.
, he got through from there and killed her. If it is traced, it is just a lunatic who suddenly went crazy and lost his rationality. His bestiality took over and killed the maid imprisoned next door. In any case, Xia Man and others cannot be traced.
on the body.
This trick she used was so flawless and insidious.
The air in her chest was gradually evacuated, and Zhong Yuxi's face turned purple. Her hands were weakly raised in the air, trying to pry the man's hand away, but she was unable to do so.
The feeling of hypoxia caused her brain to gradually go blank. This feeling of being close to death was like a movie being played suddenly interrupted, and the surroundings fell into deathly silence.
"Ah." The big man suddenly grunted, received a heavy blow on his neck, and loosened his grip on Zhong Yuxi.
He turned around in surprise and saw a man standing in the shadows, his face half-dark.
He rushed forward, waved his hand and punched, and his fist with a weak punching style was easily grasped by someone. The sound of cracking bones in his hand echoed in the air.
Before his mournful voice could even come out, the man suddenly put his hand on his Heavenly Spirit Cap, and pushed back with the other hand. This time, the cracking sound turned into cervical vertebrae, and a figure with a drooped head was printed on the wall.
The shadow, the thick body of the big man fell to the side with a thump, and he died instantly.
The man quickly ran to the bed and picked up the unconscious Zhong Yuxi.
"Xixi, Xixi."
The deep call rang in her ears like a fairy voice, bringing back Zhong Yuxi's consciousness, which was almost covered by the darkness.
She slowly opened her eyes, and what was in front of her was a blurry face. She opened her lips and weakly shouted: "Xiao Feng..."
After saying that, he fainted again.
The man's face darkened, but he immediately took her into his arms, opened the door and walked out.
There were several guards at the door who were dozing off. When they heard the sound, they immediately stood up alertly. However, when they saw the person coming, they immediately stood at attention and loaded their guns. They saluted respectfully: "His Royal Highness."
Xuanyuan Ye glanced at them, his eyes as dark as Satan's, and several guards couldn't help but shudder.
"Open this."
The guard hurriedly took out the key and unlocked the handcuffs on Zhong Yuxi's hands. As soon as the handcuffs were taken away, the red, swollen and cracked wounds on his wrists were immediately exposed to the air. Xuanyuan Ye's distressed eyes immediately turned violent, facing the guards
Said: "I will settle this account with you slowly."
The guards hurriedly begged for mercy, but he ignored them and went straight out of the door.
Carrying Zhong Yuxi back to the Zihua Palace, Bai Zhi had been waiting anxiously for a long time. She kept praying in her heart, fearing that something might happen to Zhong Yuxi. At this time, she saw the prince walking in in a hurry, and hurriedly greeted him and asked nervously: "
How is Xixi?"
"There is no danger at the moment."
Bai Zhi looked at the weak person in his arms who was only breathing a little bit, and her tears couldn't stop falling. What kind of torture had she suffered these days? It was all her fault. She didn't notice that she was missing. She didn't.
Sensing something strange, if she had known earlier, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
Xuanyuan Ye carried her to his room and put her on the bed. Bai Zhi said to the side: "I'm going to find the imperial doctor."
"Um."
As soon as Bai Zhi left, the calmness that Xuanyuan Ye had just pretended suddenly collapsed, and his whole person suddenly became decadent. He lay on her body, like a child who was afraid of losing the most precious thing.
If he had been one step later, she would have died.
Dead?
It was a word that was both familiar and unfamiliar, but when it was applied to her, he couldn't imagine how he would spend his days without her in the future.
He held her hand tightly and put it to his mouth, "Xi Xi, I will never let you suffer again in the future. Xi Xi, can you forgive me?"
Zhong Yuxi couldn't hear, and her consciousness fell into an extreme coma.
"It was my fault before. I didn't know how to cherish you. Give me a chance and I will make up for it, Xixi." He pressed her hand against his forehead: "I was wrong, I was wrong."
When the imperial doctor came in, Xuanyuan Ye regained his composure. He stood quietly by the bedside and watched the imperial doctor diagnose and treat her.
There were too many scars on her body. The wound on her neck was the deepest and had become inflamed, red and swollen. When the big man pinched her, it reopened and oozed thick blood.
Bai Zhi couldn't bear to look at it, turned her back and shed tears.
"Your Highness, you are fine." The imperial doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "These injuries are not fatal. They can be cured as long as you rest for a period of time."
Xuanyuan Ye waved his hand: "I got it."
After the imperial doctor left, Xuanyuan Ye looked at Bai Zhi and said, "Find the maid named Awei."
"Um."
As soon as Bai Zhi walked to the door, Xuanyuan Ye suddenly caught up with her in two steps and whispered into her ear: "Don't tell Zhong Yuxi that the owner of that phone number is me."
Bai Zhi looked at him steadily, with warning and begging in his eyes.
She finally nodded and turned around.
Bai Zhi walked under the moonlight, with thoughts swirling in her heart.
When Ah Wei gave her the life-saving phone number, she quickly dialed it. After the call was connected, she didn't expect that the caller turned out to be Xuanyuan Ye.
This number is the exclusive number between their princes. It is controlled by a dedicated satellite. There will never be no signal, no one will answer, and there will never be no battery. It is usually used to communicate with each other in emergencies between the princes, and only the princes can use it.
know this number.
Zhong Yuxi will know that Xiaofeng must have told her this number.
Xiaofeng thought carefully. During his absence, if there were any emergencies, he would be far away in Ying Country and would not be able to come back. Compared to him, Xuanyuan Ye who was in China would be able to catch up more easily.
It turns out that Xiaofeng rarely trusts others. He and Xuanyuan Ye are either enemies or friends. This relationship is very delicate. He chose to trust Xuanyuan Ye at a critical moment, which also affirmed Xuanyuan Ye's feelings for Zhong Yuxi. He believed that,
Xuanyuan Ye would rush back to save her without hesitation.
However, he should also have thought of another point, that is, Xuanyuan Ye probably concealed the number from Zhong Yuxi after saving her. He would not tell Zhong Yuxi that Bai Zhi used that number to find him, and he would give it to her.
The impression he created was that he rushed back to save her at the critical moment. Once this preconceived feeling occurs, Zhong Yuxi's trust in him will increase, and she may be disappointed in Xiaofeng.
Bai Zhi felt that Xiaofeng did not do this on a whim. He must have thought of all the possible consequences before making the decision.
She felt more and more that the man had a reluctance to give up. He would do anything for Zhong Yuxi, including being misunderstood by her and being disappointed by her.
She thought about how she had persuaded Zhong Yuxi to give up her feelings for Xiaofeng. Now it seemed that Zhong Yuxi was far more discerning than she was, and the man she chose was a man like no other.
She sighed. She didn't know what it felt like. What about herself? She looked at the person she liked every day and suppressed her love emotions every day. Now she just wanted to end her military service as soon as possible and then escape far away.
Far away.
Shuning Palace had already come into view. It was so late, so she could only go to find Awei quietly.
In Zihua Palace, Xuanyuan Ye stayed in front of the bed.
She frowned even when she was sleeping, as if she was in extreme pain. The injuries on her body were too painful.
He stretched out his hand to smooth the center of her eyebrows for her, but he heard her shout vaguely: "Xiao Feng..."
His hand stopped there and did not move for a long time.
Then she shouted again: "Xiaofeng", holding her mouth shut, tears flashing in the corners of her eyes, and said with great grievance: "I hurt."
Xuanyuan Ye took a long breath and suppressed the impulse in his heart. He brought a towel to her and gently wiped away the crystal spots in the corners of her eyes, and coaxed her, "Xixi, where does it hurt?"
She didn't speak, but the painful expression on her face was still tangled.
He picked her up from the bed, and then massaged her numb body with moderate force. She seemed to feel more comfortable, and a hint of gentleness gradually appeared at the corner of her mouth.
I don't know how long it took before she fell asleep again.
Xuanyuan Ye put her back on the bed and covered her with the quilt.
Her lips were pale and chapped. He took a cotton swab and dipped it in water and wiped it for her little by little. His serious expression was like polishing a work of art with great care.
Zhong Yuxi opened her eyes and saw his expression.
His face gradually became clearer in her blurred vision, so fine that every pore could be seen clearly.
Suddenly there was a strong feeling of disappointment in my heart, why him?
