Second-hand wife: Wang Ye's cute pet

Chapter 78 Civil turmoil
Fire...those faint orange lights...very hot...very warm...so warm that one can forget the pain...

In the blur, An Liuyan was suddenly pulled up forcefully by someone, and then something cold was placed on her neck.

It's a knife!

"Get up!" A rough voice rang in An Liuyan's ear.

An Liuyan hangs her head weakly, her hair is scattered, like a dilapidated doll, her steps are swaying in disorder.

"Let her go." Dressed in white, Xuan Muchen stood arrogantly in front of the man with a face like Asura.Looking at An Liuyan who was held hostage by a sharp weapon in front of him, his voice was as cold as ice.

"My lord, you are finally here." The masked woman came out of the darkness slowly, her eyes rested on Xuan Muchen's cheek, her lips slightly lifted: "I have been waiting here for a long time."

"Who the hell are you?" Xuan Muchen's voice sounded coldly, his eyes stayed on the woman's veil, and he said as if joking: "Does the girl have a shameful face? Otherwise, why is the light veil covered?" noodle?"

"Hehe." The woman sneered a few times, then slowly removed the veil from her face, a surprised light flashed in Xuan Muchen's eyes.

"Imperial concubine?" Xuan Muchen frowned, and it took him a long time to realize, his lips slightly raised, as if he understood something, he said: "It seems that this king really underestimated you. But It's right to think about it, you have carefully planned and deployed for so many years, how could you commit suicide so easily."

"Hehe." The imperial concubine raised her head and sneered a few times, looking at Xuan Muchen with a surprised light in her eyes: "The prince is right." She raised her head and said as if recalling something: "This Gong had long guessed that such a day would come, so Ben Gong secretly raised a woman similar to Ben Gong, and used her to get Ben Gong to escape when necessary."

Xuan Muchen's gaze sized her up and down, and his lips slightly raised: "Since when did you know that this king intends to deal with you?"

The imperial concubine looked at Xuan Muchen with a strange look: "Okay, I will let you understand." She slightly raised her head: "The emperor has passed away, and you, as a prince, unexpectedly Didn't show up, just this point, don't you think it's not enough to make me suspicious?"

"Look, I've been negligent." Xuan Muchen lowered his head, with a smile on his lips, he stroked his shoulder with his hand, and a silver dart sank straight into the noble concubine's body.

The noble concubine covered her wound, raised her head and glanced at Xuan Muchen, and the man who was standing aside and pulling An Liuyan walked quickly to the noble concubine.

"Ha..." The man laughed uncontrollably, the blade cut across An Liuyan's neck, and cut a light bloodstain, "My lord, since you are here today, this is where you will be buried." place."

"Are you so confident that you can kill us?" Xuan Muchen squinted his eyes at the man, and said in a cold voice: "Now, your master has been injured, not to mention, the whole mountain is mine. People. I want to keep my eyes wide open to see how you can kill me?"

The man clasped An Liuyan, and there was a gleam of determination in his eyes. He looked at Xuan Muchen and laughed loudly: "If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. One day, I can kill you all."

"Then let's see if you have the ability." Xuan Muchen's voice was tinged with chill.

"How will you know if you don't try." The man turned his head to look at the imperial concubine, then turned his head and glared at Xuan Muchen and the soldiers around him, "You all stand back, or I will wipe off her neck."

"Stand back." Xuan Muchen ordered.

The man turned his head and shouted to the imperial concubine and her party: "Master, you should leave here first."

The imperial concubine exchanged glances with the people around her, then nodded heavily.

The man carried An Liuyan to the edge of a cliff, followed by Xuan Muchen and the soldiers.

"You can't run away!"

The man suddenly burst into laughter, took advantage of his unpreparedness, and pushed An Liuyan down the cliff, Xuan Muchen followed An Liuyan and jumped down.

"Oops!" Zhang Ruo went to the edge of the cliff to check, "It's not good." He waved his arm and told the soldiers: "Everyone go down the cliff immediately to find the prince and the princess."

"Yes!"

This is a simple thatched hut at the bottom of the cliff, which should be built by hunters for hunting in certain seasons.

Xuan Muchen sat on the stool and looked at An Liuyan who was sleeping soundly.Her fair face was slightly scratched, and the wound on her back showed some signs of ulceration and inflammation.

Xuanxuan Muchen sat on the edge of the bed, looked at An Liuyan's face, and sighed faintly from his mouth. He looked at An Liuyan through the window.
"Hot... so hot..." she murmured unconsciously.

An Liuyan felt that at this moment she seemed to be in a raging fire, enduring the torture of being burned.

The muttering in the dream caught his attention, and he reached out to her forehead.

The high heat on his forehead scalded his hands, making him startled.

He turned around and walked to the basin rack next to him, took off the cloth towel hanging on it, soaked it in the basin, then wrung out some water, folded the cloth towel into long strips, went back to the bed and placed the cold cloth towel on her forehead superior.

Xuan Muchen rubbed An Liuyan's face with his hand, and there was a different kind of tenderness in his eyes.

Afterwards, he changed the wet wipes for her a few more times. After an unknown period of time, her expression seemed to calm down a lot, and her breathing began to ease.

Xuan Muchen let out a long breath, got up and changed the wet wipes for her again, then turned and left her bedside.

An Liuyan slowly opened her eyes, it was a simple and plain room.

She wanted to get up, but found that her back was extremely painful. With difficulty, she supported herself with her left hand, lifted the quilt, and was about to get out of bed.

"What are you doing?" Xuan Muchen came in from the door, saw An Liuyan's movements, and roared roughly.

"Drink water." An Liuyan said weakly, licking her dry lips.

"Don't move. I'll pour it for you." He immediately poured her a cup of tea, went to the bed and propped her up, allowing the water to flow into her mouth slowly.

"Where is this place?" An Liuyan looked around, feeling very strange, but she was sure that she had already left the place called Qiya Mountain.

"The inn at the foot of the mountain." He replied lightly.

"I...cough cough, did the doctor say when I'll be fine?" After drinking the water, she gradually recalled everything, and asked weakly enduring the pain.

"Don't worry, the doctor said it's nothing serious. It will be fine if you rest for a few more days." Xuan Muchen walked to the table, put down the cup, and turned to look at her.

"By the way, drink the medicine." He took a bowl of steaming medicine from the table and walked to the bed. "You've been in a coma for a long time, I asked Xiao Er to heat up the medicine twice." He scooped up a spoonful of the medicine and brought it to her mouth.

"I'll do it myself." An Liuyan was a little embarrassed, her face flushed slightly.

"Your back is injured, not to mention that you are pregnant, so it's inconvenient." His tone was flat. "Speaking of which, it's also because I didn't think carefully. I just wanted to save you, and I didn't expect you to get hurt."

An Liuyan passively swallowed the bitter concoction, frowning slightly.

A bowl of medicine was successfully fed.Xuan Muchen stood up, as if preparing to leave.

"Thank you." An Liuyan smiled faintly, "When I was held hostage and jumped off the cliff, I kept wondering if you would just throw me over there like this. But I'm glad you didn't, thank you .”

"Do I look like this kind of person?" Xuan Muchen lowered his eyelids, making it difficult to see his expression clearly. Facing An Liuyan who seemed to be joking, he seemed a little uncomfortable.

"I don't know. But now I know, you're not." Her eyes lit up suddenly, and she smiled softly, but accidentally hurt the wound on her body. She frowned and let out a painful cry.

Xuan Muchen's heart throbbed slightly as he looked at the expressive woman lying on the bed.She is always a woman, no matter how calm and calm she is when facing him, she is only a woman after all, and she is still the prime minister's daughter who has been put in the palm of his hand and spoiled for more than ten years.Now, letting her fall into the hands of those people and suffering so much is really wronging her.

"We will stay here for a few days. You take advantage of these few days to recover from your injuries." He glanced at her, then turned and left, and closed the door for her.

Seeing his leaving back, An Liuyan closed her eyes tiredly. She didn't expect such a thing to happen just after leaving. It seems that Xuan Muchen was burdened with many things... Her thoughts drifted farther and farther, until Then fell into a deep sleep.

The weather was still a bit shady, and there was a secluded street outside the inn. Although there were many pedestrians coming and going, it was generally quiet.

After half a month of recuperation, An Liuyan was able to get up and walk around. She leaned against the window and watched the pedestrians coming and going below.The cold wind blew her long black hair, and her cold eyes stared into the distance.Before you know it, it's already midwinter, and there is a rustling coolness in the air.

"Much better?" Xuan Muchen asked softly as he opened the door. "It's windy outside, wear more clothes."

He turned around and took out a fox fur cloak from a side cabinet, and put it on her shoulders.

The fur around the neckline of the fox fur was very thick, covering nearly half of her face, only revealing her fair cheeks and a pair of bright eyes like autumn water.

"En." She nodded and smiled.

"Go down and eat something." He patted her on the shoulder, "Since you are much better, go downstairs and eat."

When An Liuyan went downstairs alone, the inn was already full of people.Perhaps it was because she was too attractive to appear alone as a woman. For a while, everyone downstairs looked up at her in unison.

She walked to Xuan Muchen's side, and Xuan Muchen waved his hand to signal her to sit down. There were several elegant side dishes on the table.

"Where are the others?" An Liuyan looked around curiously, why didn't he see his men?

"Others?" He gave her a funny sideways glance, the corners of his mouth raised, and his expression was a little funny. "This is an inn, and fish and dragons are mixed together. It's better to be careful. It's unavoidable to attract attention. I let other people mix into the crowd and secretly protect."

She smiled faintly and picked up the chopsticks.The wound on her back is still healed, and it is a little inconvenient to hold chopsticks.

Xuan Muchen poured a glass of wine, and seeing her clumsy movements, couldn't help laughing a little.

At this moment, the door was opened, and a thin little girl came in with an iron chain tied by a big man. Her clothes were tattered, and she looked like she was about twelve or thirteen years old. Frayed by chains, festered in places.
