Chapter 37: Dagger
Fortunately, Fu Yuying came over and raised his sword to block the man's fatal blow to me.
After taking the sword, Fu Yuying's other hand hugged me and stabilized my body, but before I could gain a firm foothold, the man suddenly revealed the silver needle hidden in his left hand again, and quickly flicked it to my heart.
Fu Yuying suddenly turned around and blocked in front of me.
In a trance, I seemed to see the past buried in the years that had waited for me out of danger in the wolves, and blocked a blow for me in times of danger.
Fu Yuying held the back of my head tightly with one hand, my face was covered in front of his chest, the placket of my clothes brushed my cheek, and I didn't touch the wound carefully, but the faint pain went straight to the bottom of my heart, and it became an irrepressible throbbing in my heart at this time.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really affectionate."
After Fu Yuying stood firmly, he let go of my body, I frowned and raised my head slightly, looked at him very nervously, and quickly asked him to turn over and look for the silver needle.
"Don't waste your efforts." The man sneered and stared at us with a look of good fun, "At this moment, that needle should have pierced into his veins, and in less than a day, that needle will slide down his blood all the way into his heart!" ”
"You!"
I frowned and glared at him with an unspeakable anger on my face.
It's been a long time since I've shown my emotions on my face, it's a habit and a deliberate act, but now, I can't suppress the anger in my heart, and I just want to kill him with a sword.
Ning Xiao's secret guards had already besieged this place, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to fly even if he had wings, but even in the face of this situation, the man still smiled at me without changing his face, and even gradually laughed presumptuously.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, of course you caused my family to be ruined, did you think of today?"
Fu Yuying stopped me from preparing to stab me, smiled lightly, and said to him casually: "It's just a needle, do you really think that it will have a chance to slip into my heart?" My people, how skilled the medical skills are, don't you know, don't you know? ”
Fu Yuying's words seemed to poke him in the heart, and the expression on the man's face gradually condensed, and even a trace of anger appeared.
"It's you! You wicked villain, you dare to mention the events of the past! As he spoke, he had already swung his sword and rushed towards Fu Yuying again.
Fu Yuying casually plucked a hairpin from my head, and before I could see his movements, the hairpin had already passed between the man's eyebrows and killed him with one blow.
I glanced at the man, quickly put away his annoyance, and regained his composure. With a faint sigh, I quickly began to fumble for the needle.
I didn't believe that he could stab so deep that a single blow could penetrate the bone and blood, but I groped for a long time, but I couldn't find the silver needle.
Fu Yuying turned around suddenly, but startled me, I raised my head to look at him, his eyes were full of worry, he patted me on the shoulder, and his voice was very soft: "I'm fine, Xu Shining will have a way." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, I took the initiative to grab his sleeve and walked out.
"Go back to the palace!"
Ning Xiao's people looked at each other, as if they didn't know what to do.
"It's... Master, we..."
"Back!"
I have no time to care about whether their identities will be suspected, at this moment, only Fu Yuying's safety is the most important.
"My subordinates are late for rescue, please calm your anger!"
Hearing the shouts behind me, I turned around and realized that it was the guards who had just gone after the masked man.
"It doesn't matter." Fu Yuying didn't turn around, but still said to them in a faint voice: "Let's go back to the palace." ”
With that, he led me towards the carriage.
Ning Xiao's people had quietly left at this time, and Fu Yuying and I sat in the carriage, quiet for a long time, and I still didn't worry about the needle.
But if you want to check carefully, you always have to take off his clothes, which really makes me feel a little embarrassed, Fu Yuying seems to see my thoughts, he patted the back of my hand with a light smile, and said softly: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry too much." ”
I lowered my eyes in disdain, and my heart was very uncomfortable.
What am I really comparing myself to him, every time I am in danger, he can stand in front of me regardless of the danger, is there anything more important to him than his life? Even if there is, what can he do, he is willing to sacrifice his life to save me, which has already shown that I am different from others, but why do I have to be obsessed with Lin Shanning's affairs, even if she has true intentions for Fu Yuying, even if Fu Yuying once really trusted her, but in the final analysis, Lin Shanning is the one who deceived him from the beginning after all.
But I'm different, as long as I don't betray him and stay by his side well, how can I walk Lin Ningning's path again.
I finally thought clearly, Fu Yuying is not really indifferent and ruthless to treat people, Yan Hua is like this, Lan Zhi is like this, Yi Xuan is also like this, anyone who sincerely surrenders to him and treats each other sincerely, he has never moved any murderous intentions.
It's ridiculous that I only understood today, if it weren't for today's assassination, maybe one day I would choose to become the opposite of Fu Yuying because of my uneasiness and knots.
It turns out that when I am impulsive, I really forget a lot, but at this moment, I suddenly remembered the pictures of life and death with him, and the past that warmed my heart.
I lowered my head and asked him curtly: "Fu Yuying, is it really worth it for you to treat me like this?" ”
He turned his head to look at me sideways, thought for a moment, and suddenly chuckled: "Then is it really worth it for you to rush up to save me without even caring about your own body?" ”
I was slightly stunned, I really didn't expect that he would remember this.
Because I remember that a long time ago, when I first came to Ning Xiao, I teamed up with Yi Xuan to find a detoxification herb for him, and for that medicinal material, Yi Xuan and I were even trapped in a group of snakes, but when Fu Yuying woke up, he didn't have any words or praise for me, as if I took it for granted that I saved him.
But now, he can remember that I saved him desperately.
"You are a very special existence to me." He suddenly scratched his head and looked at the curtain in front of him again, and I turned my head to look at his side face, and my heart was beating suddenly.
"You may be the only person in this world who understands me, so I really don't want to lose you as a bosom friend, although you and I are husband and wife, but in my opinion, it is more like two souls who comfort each other, and it is a friendship that transcends the feelings of men and women."
My eyes moved slightly, and there seemed to be a streamer in my eyes, and I looked at him quietly, not knowing whether I was happy or sad.
This is the second time he has said such things to me, I have always known that there is someone in his heart, that person has been lingering in his mind, but I always think that I can one day replace her and become an inseparable part of Fu Yuying's heart, now it seems that I have done it, Fu Yuying thinks that I am the person who understands him best in the world, the relationship between him and me, in addition to the life and death of the past, is more than the friendship between men and women, but in the final analysis, I can not become the lover of his heart after all.
The ** of people is really endless, at the beginning, I just wanted to stay by his side and accompany him, and then I wanted to marry him, and even wanted to be his rightful wife, and now, I have desperately wanted to be the only one in his heart.
But why, on earth, do I want so much? If it weren't for greed, maybe I wouldn't have lived such a tangled and sad life.
I sighed, after all, I couldn't answer the question that I had come up with.
After a long time, I finally decided to divert my attention and stop wasting my experience on this issue, so I turned my head and asked Fu Yuying softly: "What is the origin of that person today?" Isn't he the person sent by Lin Shilang? ”
"He is." Fu Yuying spoke softly and answered my doubts: "It's just that he and I also had some grudges, I hadn't become the prince that year, and Fu Yuying was the most popular person in the prince's selection at that time, that person was working under Fu Yulan's hands, in order to cut off Fu Yulan's wings, I ordered Lang Shining to choreograph a drama of poisoning first and then detoxifying, and quietly ended their family." ”
Hearing this, I thought for a moment before continuing to ask, "So, he was the only survivor of the detoxification case at that time?" And he has been dormant for many years, just to wait for time to take revenge? ”
Fu Yuying nodded, affirming my thoughts.
"That means that this time it wasn't arranged by Lin Shilang?"
"It's him." Fu Yuying spoke softly, and suddenly looked at me slightly sideways.
I was stunned for a moment, staring intently at the elusive look in his eyes, and suddenly, I heard him say again: "I said it's him, it's him, no matter what purpose this person came to assassinate me today, but as long as he made a move, it was Lin Shilang's doing, because he had the dagger that the Lin family had ingenuity on his body." ”
Dagger...? Could it be that ....
I suddenly understood the meaning of Fu Yuying's words.
That dagger, except for the emperor, no one knew that it was no longer in Lin Shilang's hands, even if it appeared again in prison, there were very few people who knew that the dagger was not an ordinary dagger, so this matter, even if the emperor knew that it had nothing to do with Lin Shilang, he had to punish Lin Shilang because of this dagger.
Because if the emperor said that this dagger had been handed over to him by Lin Shilang a long time ago, then the emperor would have become the one who murdered his own son.
After weighing it, the emperor would naturally choose to abandon Lin Shilang's useless chess piece.
I couldn't help but tremble, Fu Yuying's city has always been inadvertently revealed, which makes people suddenly realize that he has been planning for a long time.
Just as I was staring at his side face stunned, Fu Yuying suddenly frowned, although it was only for a moment, but it still allowed me to see it without any mistake.
