away from the heart

Chapter 12
Tao Yao came over and saw the deep red mark on Chuyue's wrist being strangled by the rope, she was so distressed that tears burst out.

The two master and servant held hands, and described everything that had happened in the past few days. Chuyue slumped on the chair listlessly: "I don't know if he saw me like that early in the morning. This Xue Yao I I've heard of it, and everyone says that he kills people like hemp on the battlefield, he is a guillotine, and I'm really afraid that he will be treated as some kind of monster and goblin."

Tao Yao comforted her: "It was already dawn at that time, you must have already changed back. Besides, this is a marriage bestowed by the emperor, you are already husband and wife, he dare not make mistakes."

Chuyue suddenly jumped up anxiously: "Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense, what kind of husband and wife are not husband and wife! The emperor married me casually, and I will not accept my fate casually. The person I want to marry does not ask him to be well-known. Princes, I just want to be a great hero who values ​​love and righteousness."

The scene of the night when she was assassinated appeared in front of her eyes. The hero, dressed in a dashing black suit, flew out gracefully, and with a snap of his fingers, he had easily knocked down all the assassins to the ground, firmly protecting her behind him.The hero's eyes are really bright, as bright as... She shook her head violently, how could she think of the way Xue Yao had crushed her just now?He must have been in a coma for so long that his mind was muddled.

The most urgent task is to stabilize Xue Yao, and then find a chance to escape.

Suddenly footsteps came from outside the door, and when the door opened, it was Xue Yao who came.Chuyue was vigilant: "Why did you come back? Why did you come in without knocking?"

Xue Yao frowned: "This is my room."

"Then where is my room?" Seeing that Xue Yao was silent, Chuyue continued to ask, "Your family has a big business, so you won't even give me a guest room?"

Xue Yao couldn't bear it anymore, and raised his voice: "You think you are a guest at Xue's house?!"

No, the most urgent task is to stabilize him.Chuyue took a deep breath, pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled flatteringly: "That...husband, I didn't mean that, I just haven't adapted to this new identity for a while, and I need a little time, a little time..."

Xue Yao saw that her face changed and became far-fetched, and felt funny in her heart, but still said with a straight face: "Prince Shun handed over the post, and will bring the national teacher to visit you at the mansion later. I want you to continue to pretend to be asleep when the time comes, and don't be caught He saw it."

Chuyue was stunned: "Why?"

"The emperor is investigating what happened on the night you were assassinated. If he knew that you were awake, he would be the first to question you. You are a weak woman, but you escaped from the assassins with only minor injuries. What are you going to do?" Explain? Is it possible..." Xue Yao said while getting closer and closer, staring straight at Chuyue, "What do you actually have to do with those assassins?"

Chuyue retreated step by step with guilty conscience: "I just... I couldn't sleep that night and went for a walk outside. Who would have thought that I would meet an assassin. They wanted to kill me. What do I have to do with them..." Suddenly, I bumped into someone from behind. What, it turned out that he had already cornered the wall, and there was no way to retreat, "As for why I was only injured... that's probably because God opened his eyes, and in the end he still couldn't bear to see my beauty suffer."

The assassin clearly came after her, did she know the reason?Someone saved her, why didn't she mention a word?Xue Yao's doubts were hard to dispel: "Until your suspicions are cleared, I will not allow you to reveal a word. Let's make a deal, wait until you follow what I said, and obediently pretend to sleep, I will no longer embarrassing you."
