Chapter XI
Chen Lin packed up the basin of blood, the remaining gauze, and his bloody clothes as quickly as possible. Then what was he wearing? What did it have to do with her? He could wear whatever he liked. Besides, she had plenty of clothes in her closet, provided that he was willing to wear them." Dong dong dong…"" Dear, can you stop for a while?" He was tired now!
"Empress, are you asleep?" She seemed to have an impression of this voice. It was Xuanyuan Che's guard! Asking if she was asleep? Even if I was asleep, you woke me up!!! Moreover, didn't he see that the candles in the room were still burning?
When the man in black saw that someone had come, he prepared to leave in order not to implicate her. Chen Lin grabbed him.
He whispered,"Are you stupid? Going out now is equivalent to courting death." And you're still injured!"
Chen Lin looked around. No, she could not hide in these places. The people who followed that demon Xuanyuan Che would not be so easy to deal with.
Could it be that she still had to call him out? How was this possible? She had just spent so much effort to save him! How could he let him die again?
Uh... He did not know that the man in black knew that Chen Lin had saved him because she had spent a lot of effort to save him. Would he still thank her so much? Chen Lin rolled her eyes.
"Kidnap me! They won't hurt me!"
However, reality made Chen Lin feel troubled again. This fellow was naked. If he kidnapped her out, she might be misunderstood. The person outside the door was still knocking on the door. If they didn't act now, it would be too late!
"You have to go out first. No matter what, hold me hostage first!”
Helplessly, the dagger that was placed on his neck was replaced by a long sword and placed on his neck by the same person again.
Chen Lin started to shout.
"Help!"
When the people outside heard the Empress call for help, they naturally rushed in immediately. The only thing he saw was a half-naked man with a mask on his face, holding a long sword against his wife's neck. The Empress had a frightened expression. Seeing that no one was about to cry, the guards naturally felt their blood boil!
"Wan 'er, you're not good. Why did you get caught?”
Hearing this voice, Chen Lin was stunned. Her eyes widened as she looked at Xuanyuan Che, who had entered the room elegantly.
Why was he here? Or was he always there? Could it be that he was the one who injured the man in black? God, she shouldn't have saved him. How could she provoke the evildoer? If he found out that she was helping the man in black, wouldn't he just kill her? Boohoo ~ Our Chen Lin has such a tough life! She was clearly trying to save someone out of kindness, but in the end, she might even harm herself... So! He couldn't expose his cover! This scene had to be put on well! Otherwise, he would be the one to die. Emperor, you have to save Wan 'er ~ Wan' er is afraid!”Tears! Tears! Even a beauty is crying. You can't be so heartless, right?
Xuanyuan Che's eyes darkened. Because it was night, Chen Lin could not see his emotions clearly.
"Kill the assassin and you will be heavily rewarded!"
Chen Lin was stunned. What did Xuanyuan Che say? In other words, he did not care about her life at all? Very good! How heartless! Then let's see who's more ruthless!
"Cut your neck." Chen Lin whispered to the man in black behind her. If you can be heartless to me, I can be even more heartless to myself!
The man in black could only do as Chen Lin said.
Bright red blood slid down her fair neck. The warm feeling made Chen Lin feel very real. Her pale face actually had an otherworldly beauty.”The guard at the front exclaimed.
Ha! So even a guard was more affectionate than Xuanyuan Che! Emperor! Chen Lin suddenly felt like laughing! He wanted to laugh!
Xuanyuan Che, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks. He turned around and looked at Chen Lin's despairing face. This was the second time he had such an expression on his face tonight, but this time, there was more determination. He didn't know that it was his words that made him lose his happiness.”Xuanyuan Che couldn't bear to see the blood continue to flow.
Hehe, Xuanyuan Che, if I wasn't Singapore's princess and was just your wife, you wouldn't have hesitated to abandon me, right?
Ying 'er and Xiao Die also appeared in Chen Lin's room when they heard the sound.
"Empress! You're bleeding!" Xiao Die widened her eyes and glared at the man in black.
Ying 'er was calmer and only knelt down in front of Xuanyuan Che.
"Your Majesty! Please save the Empress!"
Haha! So she, Chen Lin, was not that sad! There were still people who cared about their own lives.
"Let him go." Xuanyuan Che didn't even look at the person kneeling on the ground. He expressionlessly said those three words and didn't say another word.
The guards followed the man in black as he retreated a distance. When they reached the big banyan tree outside the Phoenix Palace, Chen Lin was pushed away and the black-shirted man left.
However, there was something in Chen Lin's hand that she put away. He fell to the ground.
"Empress! Are you alright?" Xiao Die and Ying 'er ran over and pulled Chen Lin up from the ground. Chen Lin was already asleep, so she was wearing her middle clothes. The autumn wind blew, and it was still cold. It was like her current heart.
Ying 'er silently put on a coat for her.
The blood on his neck did not stop gushing out. Xiao Die quickly helped Chen Lin into the house and prepared to apply medicine on her neck.
Xuanyuan Che walked in and dismissed the two palace maids.
Chen Lin did not even look at him. Since he had let Xiao Die and the others go out, she would apply the medicine herself!
Looking at Chen Lin's stubborn gaze, Xuanyuan Che's face darkened. He snatched the cotton ball from her hand and took out the best medicine for wounds from his pocket.
Chen Lin was stubborn to begin with. She refused to let him touch her.
"Ouyang Wan! Try moving again!" Xuanyuan Che had been a proud son of the palace since he was young. What he hated the most was resistance from others. Chen Lin made him angry!
Chen Lin could not take it anymore! What are you shouting for! The emperor was amazing!
"I moved! What do you want?"
"Let me tell you, Ouyang Wan! You are nothing in my eyes! There was more! That assassin appeared in your room, and his clothes were disheveled! You still owe me an explanation!" Xuanyuan Che was like Satan in hell, constantly releasing his aura. His purple eyes were also filled with a bloodthirsty glow due to his anger.
Chen Lin only felt suppressed and flustered. However, her unyielding personality made her never lower her head. He was not the only one who could release the low pressure!
She raised her head and stared into Xuanyuan Che's purple eyes.
"Explain? Ha! Emperor! I said that an assassin suddenly barged in and pressed a dagger against my neck, asking me to help him heal. I had no choice but to take off his clothes. Do you believe me?"
Xuanyuan Che suddenly felt a little dazed. How many people in the world could look at him like that?
Chen Lin suddenly laughed mockingly.
"Xuanyuan Che, you're sacrificing your empress for an assassin. Who owes who an explanation?"
Xuanyuan Che pinched Chen Lin's chin and looked at her fiercely.
"Are you Ouyang Wan?”
Chen Lin was not surprised at all. She only smiled even more sorrowfully.
"Your Majesty, you don't even know your own Empress? How sad!"
"Is that so? In the past, Ouyang Wan would never have been so ruthless to him.”
After Xuanyuan Che finished speaking, he let go of Chen Lin's hand. His expression was cold. He glanced at Chen Lin, threw down the medicine in his hand, and left.
Chen Lin's nervous heart relaxed. He was actually doubting her? So what? This body was indeed Ouyang Wan's. So what if he suspected it? It was useless if he could not find evidence. Ruthless him? Xuanyuan Che, how good do you think you are?
After Xuanyuan Che left, Little Butterfly and Ying 'er came in very quickly.
Xiao Die was a little at a loss. The Empress had never encountered such a thing before. The Emperor had left in such a rage just now. Ying 'er was very calm. She picked up the medicine Xuanyuan Che left behind and carefully helped Chen Lin apply it.
Chen Lin looked at the two of them. Xiao Die was older than Ying 'Er, but she was not as calm as Ying' Er. However, these two people were very concerned about her. This was the only comfort he had in the harem, right?
The Persian envoy left safely very soon. The assassin's target was Xuanyuan Che, so it didn't cause any negative effects. The Persian envoy also promised that the two countries would be on good terms in the future.
It had been a few days since Xuanyuan Che left that night. She had not seen that evildoer again, and those concubines had not come to cause trouble for her.
The days passed like this. However, Chen Lin was happy to be free. Right now, she just had to focus on developing her own essential oil.
She had already made a private agreement with the Persian envoy that the essential oil she made could be passed to Persia through his hands in the future. Chen Lin and the Persian envoy were both excellent businessmen. The glassware that Chen Lin was using now was all provided by the Persian emissary, and the first three bottles of lavender essential oil that Chen Lin made were taken away by the emissary for free.
She had been keeping the things that the man in black had left in her bosom. It was a piece of crystal clear white jade. There was an eagle carved on the front of the white jade, and the word Jue was carved on the back. Chen Lin held the jade pendant and did not know what to say. She didn't recognize this thing, so what was the use of holding it? Could it be that he could pawn it when he left the palace? This isn't good, right?
Xuanyuan Jing's sea of flowers had now become Chen Lin's lavender supplier. Xuanyuan Jing said that Chen Lin could go there to pick fresh flowers at any time.
However, Chen Lin felt that Xuanyuan Jing seemed to be avoiding her. These days, she had been picking flowers personally in hopes of meeting him, but he had never appeared. Chen Lin felt a little defeated. Why was he avoiding her? She didn't eat people!
Today, Chen Lin appeared on the small road outside the Cold Palace as usual. She was surprised to see Xuanyuan Jing's back.
"Hey! Pretty boy!" Chen Lin's happy voice sounded.
Xuanyuan Jing turned around and looked at Chen Lin awkwardly.
Chen Lin was speechless. Why are you so awkward? You're a grown man and a handsome man. Do you know that such an expression on your face is very tempting?!
Chen Lin finally caught up to Xuanyuan Jing while panting.
"Where have you been these past few days? Why don't I see you every day?”
Xuanyuan Jing was a little surprised. Did she mean that she came here every day to look for him?
"Imperial Sister-in-law, you still have to avoid suspicion in this palace. If you want lavender, just come and pick it. There's no need to come to me.”Xuanyuan Jing was a little depressed.
Huh? Was this guy trying to draw a clear line between them? What the hell! How could this person do this?
Chen Lin deliberately put her hand on Xuanyuan Jing's shoulder and approached him, wanting to whisper to him. However, she was a little short. Xuanyuan Jing looked at the little one who was trying her best to tiptoe in front of his chest and found it funny. If she wasn't that tall, why would she force herself?
"Lower your head a little!" How can someone so tall whisper? Xuanyuan Jing felt ashamed! This was probably the only person who could order him around like this, right? Even his royal brother had never spoken to him like this, right?
However, Xuanyuan Jing still obediently lowered his head and moved his ear closer to Chen Lin's ear.
Hehe, Chen Lin grinned. What an obedient child!
"Lin 'er doesn't care about the position of empress ~" Chen Lin said in his ear with a smile.
"I'm Chen Lin, not Ouyang Wan.”
Xuanyuan Jing didn't seem to believe it. Wasn't it common for everyone to fight for the position of Empress? Why could she say that she didn't care so easily? With her talent, this position was very suitable for her.
Looking at Xuanyuan Jing's slightly puzzled eyes, Chen Lin smiled even more beautifully.
"Lin 'er yearned for a free life. The palace doesn't suit me at all.”
