Chapter Twenty-Three: I Can't Afford Your Highness's Concern
Lin Yunran walked in helplessly.
The candle on the table was lit by Long Zhaohua, emitting a faint light, as if it would be extinguished as soon as the wind blew.
Lin Yunran walked over and sat opposite Long Zhaohua, reluctantly putting his hand on the table.
"You seem to be more than scratched?" Although the candlelight was faint, Long Zhaohua's keen eyes still saw the barb on her hand at a glance.
The barb was stuck in the flesh, and I don't know how much it hurt. For such a long time, she actually endured it without saying a word.
"It's just a few barbs, and they come out with a needle." Lin Yunran said and took out a silver needle from his body.
The weapon she ordered in the blacksmith shop has already reached a certain level, but it is still different from her requirements, so she can't use it for the time being. Gotta polish it yourself again.
Now the most handy thing in her hand is the silver needle.
So she had a dozen or so on her.
"You actually carry a needle with you?" Long Zhaohua was quite surprised to see her take the silver needle out.
This silver needle is larger than a normal needle and is not a commonly used sewing needle.
Come to think of it, she was used for self-defense.
The hairpin on her head and the silver needle on her body are all her weapons.
"Just in case." This trip is definitely not simple, and Lin Yunran blames himself for not being able to buy himself an extra day.
Maybe she'll be able to bring two more weapons.
"How do you know it's going to be dangerous?" Long Zhaohua took the silver needle from her hand, then grabbed her hand, approached the candlelight, and checked where the barb was.
Lin Yunran almost gave His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a roll of his eyes.
Isn't that nonsense he is asking?
When they go to Jinzhou, they have to deal with King Yan, will it not be dangerous?
"Since you have to deal with the Yan King, you will inevitably be in danger." The tip of the needle was quenched on the candle flame, and then pierced into the flesh, ten fingers connected to the heart, and Lin Yunran shivered in pain.
But she gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound.
She was like this, Long Zhaohua couldn't help but feel distressed, "Why be so reckless, even if you show your vulnerable side in front of this palace, this palace will not laugh at you." ”
"If Your Highness doesn't want to help, you can go back and rest. If you talk nonsense, you will only waste time. It will make me suffer more. Of course Lin Yunran knew that he was saying this out of good intentions.
But she never showed her weak side in front of anyone.
She was born that way.
Long Zhaohua sighed quietly.
This Lin Yunzhi is really special.
He had never met such a woman.
"It's also the fault of the main palace. It seems that I can't care about you anymore. Long Zhaohua picked out the first barb and put it on the table.
Then he didn't say anything more, and with a gentle movement, he picked out the remaining barbs in her hand one by one.
The orange candlelight sprinkled on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, reflecting a sense of tenderness.
Lin Yunran was sure that at this moment, he took off the mask on his face.
"Your Highness's concern, I'm afraid I can't afford it." Lin Yunran withdrew his hand, took back the silver needle in his hand, pulled the rag-like handkerchief on the shelf, wiped it, and hid it back in its place.
"Here's for you." Long Zhaohua took out a bottle of medicine from himself, "The gold sore medicine in the palace can make your injuries heal as soon as possible." ”
Placing the medicine on the table, he turned around and walked out.
Lin Yunran was the only one left in the room.
She also thought that Long Zhaohua would answer her question.
Unexpectedly, he said completely irrelevant things and left.
How many dangers awaited her this time, she didn't know the bottom of her heart.
However, she is also the number one killer, even if she is forced to stay in this not very good body now, but her mind is still there, even if she really wants to kill, it will not be difficult.
Lin Yunran could only comfort himself like this.
She picked up the gold sore medicine on the table, opened it and sniffed it.
She was injured before, and someone took care of her, so she didn't know much about pharmacology.
As for acupuncture, she knows a little bit about acupuncture, because needles can hurt people and kill people, so she knows everything on her body that can be used.
Prince Zhaohua didn't need to harm her, so the medicine he gave must be good.
Lin Yunran shook the medicinal powder on the wound, then tore the handkerchief in half, bandaged both hands, and lay down on the bed.
She didn't have much time to rest, so she quickly fell asleep.
Her sleep has always been very light, and any movement in the room will wake her up.
So, when she noticed something abnormal, she immediately opened her eyes.
There was someone in the room.
In this remote place, in a dilapidated inn, there are still thieves?
Lin Yunran picked up the hairpin next to the pillow and got up quietly.
The man was still searching for her baggage, not noticing that she was awake.
It wasn't until Lin Yunran walked behind him and patted him lightly that he reacted.
Then, there was a deafening scream.
Lin Yunran didn't do anything, and the hairpin in her hand didn't even touch him.
He screamed purely because he took Lin Yunran for a ghost.
The scream quickly attracted everyone in the inn.
More than a dozen people crowded outside Lin Yunran's door, stretching their necks to look inside.
"I caught a thief. You can go back to your room and see if you've lost anything. Lin Yunran threw out the person who was trembling with fear, clapped his hands and prepared gifts to rest.
But just as she closed the door, a hand came in.
Lin Yunran raised his eyebrows, "Your Highness, is there something wrong?" ”
"Bengong told you that we should try to keep a low profile on this trip, have you forgotten?" Long Zhaohua didn't expect that she would make such a big movement in the middle of the night.
If someone with a heart discovers it, I'm afraid it will ruin his overall plan.
"Of course I haven't forgotten. But the problem is, he came to me to steal, I can't pretend I don't know, right? Moreover, I just wanted to throw him out, and who knew that I didn't even touch him, and he screamed, and I didn't force him to scream. ”
Lin Yunran only felt that he was innocent.
The thieves have stolen from under her nose, does she still have to pretend not to know in order to take care of the overall situation?
That's not her style.
"It seems that I can't let you be left alone in the future." Long Zhaohua said, pushed open the door and walked in.
"Your Highness, this is ...... Do what? When Lin Yunran heard what he said, he felt that something was not right.
Could it be that he wanted to live with her?
But there was obviously no other place to sleep in this room.
"Staring at you." Long Zhaohua said it quite high-soundingly.
Lin Yunran only felt as if a thunderbolt had fallen.
She looked around the room, gritted her teeth, and said, "Your Highness doesn't have to come in person, right?" ”
Isn't there a secret guard? How can the dark guard rest in his room, and he can rest in her room as well?
At least it doesn't deprive her of the right to sleep well.
But apparently, Prince Zhaohua didn't think so.
