On the official road, a carriage sped past, leaving a trail of dust behind it. It spun in the air and then returned to the ground in an instant.
This road was the official road from the capital to the State of Yue. Usually, ordinary people would take small paths to travel between the two places. Although it was slightly rugged, it was much closer, so there were not many people on the official road.
The person driving the carriage was wearing an extremely ordinary green robe, but it could not hide his handsome aura. Occasionally, he would turn around to check on the situation in the car.
Perhaps it was because the carriage was too bumpy, or perhaps it was because of the faint pain coming from his body, the unconscious person lying in the carriage slowly woke up and slowly opened his eyes. Although he was a little embarrassed, his eyes were still bright and sharp like a leopard.
He swept his gaze around and was momentarily at a loss. He didn't know where he was.
After shaking for a while, he realized that he was no longer in the palace, but in a carriage.
He struggled to sit up. The pain in his abdomen and the back of his neck made Zi Zhao frown. His breathing was a little heavy, especially the wound in his abdomen. It was tearing, but he didn't make a sound.
He lifted the curtains and looked out of the car. The blinding light made Zi Zhao instinctively close his eyes, but he quickly adapted to it.
The green-robed man who was driving the carriage heard the commotion in the carriage and turned his head to look inside. It was Chen Yan.
"Your Highness, you're awake? There seems to be a small tavern not far ahead. Should we stop and rest?”Chen Yan's voice was not cold, but it was very distant. There was no flattery from ordinary people.
"Good! Why am I here? Where are we going now?" Zi Zhao was not in a hurry. Although he was not very familiar with Chen Yan, he knew that he was the most trusted guard of his mother in the palace. Since he would be with him, it must be the Queen's intention. Then he would not harm him.
"Her Majesty the Queen has instructed us to send you to the State of Yue.”After saying that, Chen Yan focused on driving and didn't say anything else.
Zi Zhao didn't ask much. Chen Yan looked very refined and delicate, but he rarely spoke. It was useless to ask. Besides, he could guess what was going on without asking.
Zi Zhao retreated back into the car and leaned against the cushion. She lowered her head and realized that her clothes had been changed. Her wound was also properly bandaged. The cloth was not loose nor tight. It would not be strangled, nor would it be torn by movement. Only Chen Yan, who was outside the car, could bandage her wound in such a skilled manner.
She gently moved her body and leaned against the window. She looked at the scenery that flew past the window. Her emotions were complicated. There was anger, but even more so, there was sadness.
His body was injured, but his brain wasn't. If he connected the series of events together, anyone who wasn't a fool would be able to understand that those events were definitely not a coincidence.
On that day, Little Er went to the Crown Prince's Palace and said that the Queen had something important to do and did not want others to know. She wanted him to go to the garden at night. Although she had doubts, she did not think too much about it because Little Er was the Queen's personal maid.
In the end, when he saw that it was indeed Little Er's corpse in the garden and that he had been ambushed, he thought of the blurry figure he saw before he fainted and his heart suddenly tightened.
Although she was not very close to him, they had lived together for so many years. How could she be mistaken?。。。。。
As smart as he was, he knew that this was a trap without even thinking. Who else could have set this trap other than him? As for the purpose, it was self-evident.
She sighed lightly.
It ignited sorrow.
Power was like a curse that made everyone go crazy. Those who didn't want it wanted it, and those who had it didn't want to let it go. For this, they would do anything, allowing their hearts to sink into this curse and not be willing to wake up.
The original kindness gradually changed color and lost its warmth.
In the boundless mortal world, how many people could retain that pure heart?
A beautiful face suddenly appeared in front of Zi Zhao, smiling like the sun.
He originally wanted Chen Yan to turn his horse around and return to the capital, but on second thought, it was also good to go to the State of Yue.
He really missed her!
A longing suddenly struck his heart.
Anticipation flowed.
While he was deep in thought, the carriage had already arrived at a tavern by the roadside for passers-by to rest.
Chen Yan jumped out of the car and carefully helped Zi Zhao into the tavern.
There were not many people in the tavern, and the shop was small, but it was very clean.
After sitting down, Chen Yan asked Zi Zhao for his opinion and ordered a few vegetarian dishes. Soon, the two of them finished eating.
Since Zizhao was injured, this was the only place he could rest. Hence, he decided to stay here for the night. The room was not big, but it was clean and tidy, and all kinds of necessities were available.
Probably due to over-exhaustion, Zi Zhao quickly fell asleep after lying down. Meanwhile, Chen Yan was dutifully standing guard at the side.
When she woke up again, the red sun had already set in the west, and the sky was dotted with stars.
Thinking of watching the stars with Hao 'er, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
It was as warm as spring.
At this moment, Chen Yan took out some things from his bag. Zi Zhao saw that they were all medicine and bandages for wounds. She knew that Chen Yan wanted to change her dressing, so she went back to her room and lay on the bed.
Suddenly, the two men looked at each other. Neither of them said anything. They looked at the roof at the same time. It was a tacit understanding between martial artists.
After Zi Zhao nodded, Chen Yan silently picked up the sword beside him and jumped. With a flash of cold light, the sword had already pierced through the roof.
After a scream, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
When Chen Yan landed back on the ground, the sword was still bleeding with a fishy smell.
Ignoring the commotion outside, Chen Yan calmly returned to the bedside and bandaged Zi Zhao's wound.
At this moment, Chen Yan's agility, calm judgment, and calm attitude made Zi Zhao admire him.
"What do you think?" Zi Zhao suddenly asked.
Chen Yan remained indifferent." I dare not say for sure.”
"It's okay, just say it."
Chen Yan saw that there was no way to evade, so he could only answer,"I think that it should be sent by the person who framed Your Highness to monitor."”
Zi Zhao was surprised." Oh, how do you know that I was framed?”
"One look and you'll know."
"Then why didn't you tell Her Majesty the Queen?”
Zi Zhao was smiling, but Chen Yan knew that the Crown Prince in front of him was not as kind as he appeared. He was hiding his true intentions and was just waiting for the right opportunity.
Chen Yan didn't dare to say anything, so he kept quiet.
"Just tell me, it's fine."
“。。。。。。His Highness 'martial arts were outstanding, how could he not dodge that blade? With His Highness 'martial arts, how could he not notice someone approaching him?”
Zi Zhao didn't say anything and stared at the man in front of him.
After a long time, Zi Zhao finally spoke. Just like before, his tone was calm, but it was especially chilling.
"BenGong will give you two choices. One, be loyal to me. Two, die!"
