Chapter 29: Assassination
After speaking, the guards and Helian Yi hurried out.
Shen Lian was also a little nervous, extinguished the candle flame and fell into darkness, and felt that something terrible would emerge from some corner.
As a result, until the second half of the night, Shen Lian couldn't fall asleep, dozing off all the time but waking up from time to time.
When the morning light was faint, Helian Yi came back, and Shen Lian woke up completely but his eyes could barely open.
Seeing that she was still outside, Helian Yi's face sank, "You ......"
"Your Highness is back!"
The words of reproach were stuck, and Helian Yi saw her excited and straightforward concern, and suddenly lost her anger.
Helian Yi didn't say a word, grabbed Shen Lian's wrist, and took her to the bedside, "Don't be stunned, sleep." ”
Shen Lian shrunk, caught up by that gaze, and hurriedly went to the bedside.
"Go in."
Shen Lian moved out of a position, thought about it, and simply hid in the corner.
Helian Yi squinted, his eyes were complicated, but he didn't say anything, and he leaned against the bed, just like before.
Under the faint light, it was difficult to hide Shen Lian's shock, and he stumbled: "Do you want to, or not, I'll endorse it?" ”
"Not necessarily."
Helian Yi lay down, her figure was slender, and it was pleasing to look at like this, so she closed her eyes.
Shen Lian pondered whether she should lie down or sleep on the other side......
"Can't you sleep?"
Shen Lian covered his face with a quilt, "I will ......"
His body stiffened and lay down, and Shen Lian didn't dare to move in the slightest.
In fact, there were times when I woke up in Helian Yi's bed before, but it was all after I was unconscious, so I naturally didn't count.
Now he is awake, and he is sincerely afraid.
This incomparably noble Imperial Highness is willing to sleep with her...... It's too late!
"What are you afraid of, this palace is terrible?"
The chattering voice in her head stopped, and she said, it was okay, but it was a little scary for His Highness to say this.
What he said was: "I just want to see more of Your Highness." ”
After speaking, there was a dead silence.
Shen Lian felt suffocated by what he said, so he pretended that nothing had happened and carefully closed his eyes.
After that, no one mentioned it.
In this Joyful Villa, Shen Lian really came for a vacation, and Helian Yi would sometimes be with her, but more often than not, she came and went without a trace, and she didn't know what she was busy with.
Until, five days later, he returned.
Shen Lian saw Qingyi and Xie Yu waiting outside, and then remembered that these two people had also followed, but they had never seen ......
Shen Lian didn't have time to think about the strangeness of this, but he was interrupted by the salute of the two.
"The colt is reluctant? If you like it, you can let His Highness come to the villa more. Xie Yu lowered his voice and proposed.
Qingyi rolled his eyes, didn't know what to think, and smiled.
Shen Lian recalled the scene of sleeping with Helian Yi, and felt a little weak, "This is not possible, Your Highness is busy, it would be good to come once." ”
As a raised guinea pig, Shen Lian is very conscious, does not ask, does not ask for extravagance, and can probably live longer.
Xie Yu smiled deeply, but didn't say anything.
Qingyi was straightforward: "I've only seen a colt that can stay overnight on His Royal Highness, and His Highness must be different from a colt." ”
Shen Lian smirked, but his heart sank.
Could it be that Helian Yi still has a place to use her?
Or maybe it's to deal with a female officer, and it's not the first time I've done this kind of thing.
Helian Yi came out and saw Shen Lian talking happily with the two, frowning.
Without waiting for Helian Yi to speak, Qingyi and Xie Yu saluted one after another, and then got into the carriage behind.
This is an acquaintance.
Shen Lian greeted him, "I'll help His Highness up." ”
Helian Yi looked at Shen Lian's slender hand with a complicated expression, ignored it, and went straight in.
Shen Lian was stunned, and saw Xie Yu behind him lifting the curtain and smiling at her.
This emperor is really difficult to serve.
On the way back, Shen Lian was drowsy in the car again, Helian Yi was disgusted, suddenly listened attentively, and then slowly hooked his lips.
The fish took the bait.
There are not many guards this time, there are only more than twenty, if it is usual, Helian Yi must have more than fifty guards.
After a while, the neighing of horses and the sound of blade handover woke Shen Lian, and she first looked around with wide eyes before she realized what she had encountered.
"Assassins?"
Helian Yi's expression was calm, "Obviously. ”
Shen Lian rolled his eyes, but instead of worrying, he was a little excited.
This assassination is not a classic episode, Shen Lian really didn't expect to encounter it, she was restless, and she really wanted to see what the fight was like outside.
But with this cold-faced emperor here, Shen Lianfen didn't dare to move.
Helian Yi saw surprise, curiosity, and excitement in her eyes, and then there was still anticipation, and she really wanted to knock on this woman's brain, what was she thinking.
Soon, the sound of the fight was getting closer and closer, and even some arrows flew in, and the carriage was also knocked or shaken.
Shen Lian realized that the guards outside might not be able to defeat the assassin.
If the assassin came in, he must have taken Helian Yi's life first, she was just a colt with no background, where was the value of being killed?
Shen Lian is still self-aware of this.
But she can't let Helian Yi die like this, right? Otherwise, her position as a colt will be gone, and probably the person will be gone......
"Your Highness!"
It was not the assassin who rushed in first, but Qingyi, who said that he couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to take His Highness and the horse first.
Shen Lian got out of the carriage with Helian Yi in this way, and slowly withdrew from the encirclement under the protection of Qingyi and Xie Yu.
The pursuers followed, but more often than not, they were left behind by the guards.
At this time, Shen Lian realized that away from the young man who seemed to be high-spirited, and even Xie Yu, who was polite and polite, was all armed with martial arts.
In the entire Pony Mansion, she may be the only one who has no power to restrain the chicken.
After walking not far away, Xie Yu took the initiative to break off and let Qingyi take the two masters to go first.
Everyone did not hesitate, as if they had already made arrangements.
Shen Lian was ignorant, and she couldn't help but worry if she didn't know the situation, but she couldn't say anything.
It wasn't until noon that the three of them finally got rid of the pursuers and went all the way to the official road.
There may be people on the official road at any time, and as long as there can be any pedestrian, their chances of survival will be greatly improved.
Shen Lian looked forward to it, but it was not pedestrians who were waiting, but an ambush.
When more than a dozen black-clothed assassins rushed out on both sides of the official road, Shen Lian finally knew that he was afraid.
"What a nuisance!" Qing Yi frowned, obviously a little irritable.
Shen Lian could almost predict her end, she bit her lip, thinking about how she could grab a weapon to defend herself.
Caught off guard, he was wrapped around his waist with one hand, and his scented body approached, "Just want to die like this?" ”
Shen Lian was slightly stunned, and the moment she raised her eyes, she had been taken by Helian Yi to avoid a blow.
