Chapter 157

Hua Ye looked at her puzzled: "What does the prince mean by this?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said without emotion: "The second prince sit down and talk about how he met those killers. Think about it and speak carefully."

Hua Ye sat back on the bed hesitantly, and Jun Rong became serious when he heard the words, "The Tai Tuo said that the second prince was assassinated in Dagan for no reason, how will I explain to Emperor Feng Guo when the news spreads?"

Hua Ye hurriedly said: "It has nothing to do with Your Majesty! I rarely want to go out for a walk, so I just took Lin He for a walk along the alley slowly. I didn't expect that as soon as I entered this alley, I was surrounded by people. They were wearing black clothes. Clothes, black cloth mask, eyes extremely fierce, came up and said that someone bought my life, please let me go to Hades to report."

When mentioning the previous incident, Hua Ye still had lingering fears in his heart. The panic in his eyes did not seem to be fake, and even his body trembled slightly.

This appearance suddenly reminded Xiao Yu that when Jun Rong was assassinated, he also had the same reaction at that time.

She couldn't help but lose her mind slightly when she thought about it, Jun Rong felt even more sour when she saw it, "Teacher?"

He stretched out his hand and gently tugged Xiao Yu's sleeve, Xiao Yu blinked: "Huh?"

"I think of Your Majesty."

Seeing Jun Rong's puzzled face, Xiao Yu smiled without saying a word.

"My lord knows what happened after that. How could Lin He beat them alone? He was dragged away very quickly. I was strangled by the killer. He was about to strangle me when he heard the sound of a carriage. I was stunned for a moment, I took the opportunity to bite him, and shouted for help..."

Xiao Yu nodded: "Well, besides saying that someone bought your life, did those killers say anything else?"

Hua Ye pondered for a moment, then shook his head firmly: "No, they don't talk much, they seem to be very disciplined."

"They are a killer organization called Lianhua Palace. What they do is to pay for murder. Once someone buys their life, if they don't succeed the first time, they will do it again for nothing."

Hua Ye's eyes widened: "Ah? Then they will come to me again?"

"Ah."

"Wait—they said before that the prince delivered it to the door himself. Could it be that the prince is also their target?"

Hua Ye's face suddenly changed, seeing that Xiao Yu was more important than himself, "Isn't the prince also very dangerous?"

Jun Rong's lips were pressed tightly together, he can now be sure that this Hua Ye has something wrong with the Taifu, otherwise why would his eyes light up when he sees the Taifu, and he is more worried about the Taifu's safety than anyone else?
But he's a man... Could it be that he's like what that idiot Wang An said, is——is he a broken sleeve?

Jun Rong looked at Hua Ye with strange eyes.

Xiao Yu didn't notice, but Hua Ye saw it clearly. He stood up and walked in front of Xiao Yu, reaching out his hand to pull Xiao Yu. After all, he lived and died together, and he even blocked an arrow for her. As indifferent as before, right?

"My lord—"

Xiao Yu avoided his hand, pressed his shoulders and pushed him back to the bed: "I told you not to move around."

Hua Ye's eyes darkened, he was really on guard, it seems that this way of imitating the little emperor won't work.

Xiao Yu let go, stepped back and said, "I'm not in danger. This is the second time they've shot at me. They didn't succeed, but it's a write-off. You're the one who's in danger, so you'd better live in the palace to cultivate yourself during this period of time." , with the Imperial Forest Army and Xuanyi Guards around, they can always protect you.”

Hua Ye licked her dry lips, and agreed anxiously: "Then should I change the room?"

Xiao Yu nodded: "I'll have someone clean it up, and you'll live in the room next to me. Although it's a bit small, for His Highness's safety, I have to wrong you."

Hua Ye smiled: "Don't feel wronged, I can be anywhere, I'm used to it."

He said this lightly, and then sat quietly by the bed, completely different from his clingy appearance before, Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, my lord, the medicine is here."

Hongxiu came in with a tray and put it on the table, "It's almost dry, you can drink it directly."

Xiao Yu nodded: "Give it to the Second Highness."

"Yes, Second Highness, please use it."

Hua Ye reached out to take it, thanked him in a low voice, then looked at the eye medicine bowl with a frown, and swallowed it down, enduring the strange smell.

The sound of swallowing was particularly obvious in the quiet room, Xiao Yu and Jun Rong couldn't help but look at him in admiration, Zhang Lao's medicine can be drunk so happily, the second prince is not an ordinary person.

Hua Ye, who is not an ordinary person, obviously overestimated his own endurance, and forced himself to finish the last sip. He supported the bedpost and coughed heart-piercingly, and tears fell one after another.

Xiao Yu poured a cup of tea from the table and handed it to him: "Zhang Lao's medicine smells bad and tastes bad, but the effect is very good, please bear with it, Your Highness."

Hua Ye's fingertips trembled, and he drank the teacup before he could say anything, and the color on his face faded.

"Master, is master awake?"

Lin He's slightly hoarse voice came from outside the door. Hua Ye looked up and saw that his hands were wrapped in thick gauze, and he had put on a new robe. He seemed to be in good spirits.

He smiled gratifiedly: "It's fine."

Lin He forced a smile back: "Your subordinates can rest assured that the master is fine."

"Hongxiu, you clean up the side hall on the west side and let the second prince live there. Let Wan Xue and Lianyi take care of you for the next few days."

"Yes."

Hongxiu turned around and went out. Seeing that there was no one else, Lin He quickly turned around and knelt down to Xiao Yu and said, "Thank you, my lord, for saving my life. I will keep it in my heart, and I will definitely repay my lord when I have a chance in the future."

Xiao Yu chuckled lightly: "Your Majesty Fengguo doesn't blame us for our lack of protection, so I will thank God. Well, you can help the Second Highness to go to the west side hall. It's late, go to bed. You have worked hard at night to guard. If the Second Highness has a fever If you don't retreat, let Lianyi go to Zhang Lao."

"Yes."

Lin He turned to Hua Ye and said, "Master, this subordinate will help you walk."

Hua Ye stood up and took Lin He's hand, and when he walked to Xiao Yu's side, he smiled at Xiao Yu, "My lord, please rest earlier."

Xiao Yu didn't say anything.

Hua Ye said to Jun Rong again: "Retire in full swing."

Jun Rong still remembered that the king of a country should be magnanimous, so he didn't flinch at him, and nodded calmly and reservedly.

As soon as the miserable master and servant left, Jun Rong immediately said to Ning Zhao: "You also go back and rest, and I will have a few words with the prince."

Ning Zhao looked at Xiao Yu, saw her nodding at her, then bowed and retreated.

When Jun Rong saw the door closed, his expression suddenly became serious, "Ziyi, don't you think Hua Ye is a bit strange? Especially his attitude towards you."

Xiao Yu sat down beside him, "How do you say?"

Jun Rong opened his mouth, and was discouraged again, "I just think he looks at you in a wrong way, as if he is very dependent on you, but he doesn't do that to others. Does he have...something wrong with you?"

 Jun Rong: It's so obvious that you can't see it?
  Xiao Yu: ...the smell of vinegar is so strong
