Yuelai Inn.
Several doctors hurried in and out, busy beyond measure, finally managing to save Zhao Huiyin's life.
Luo Hanfei glanced at the unconscious Zhao Huiyin, a complex expression flashing in his eyes before he pushed the door open and stepped outside.
Yunshuang was waiting outside. She had been frightened last night and had yet to recover, her face pale. Now, seeing how much Luo Hanfei seemed to care for Zhao Huiyin, a wave of bitterness rose within her, and her lips trembled slightly. "Your Highness, why did you bring her to the capital?"
"She might be connected to the Thief King," Luo Hanfei replied, furrowing his brow in thought, forming a deep crease on his forehead. This assassination attempt had coincidentally confirmed his suspicions.
According to reports from his spies, those assassins were sent by Zhou Changyi.
But why did she take the arrow for him? Was it genuine? Or was it all an act? Or perhaps this was all part of someone else's plan?
Regardless, he found that he could no longer treat her as he once did.
In that moment, when he saw her fall into his arms after being shot, he was utterly terrified, frozen in shock, only able to watch helplessly as she slid to the ground—so fragile and helpless. That scene lingered in his mind, refusing to fade away.
Yunshuang said with a hint of jealousy, "But Your Highness, you share a room with her. I'm quite envious."
Luo Hanfei looked up, already regaining his usual calm and smiling demeanor, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. "If it weren't for this arrangement, it would have been you who got hurt. I'm doing this to protect you."
Upon hearing this, Yunshuang smiled contentedly, her face blooming with happiness like a flower in full bloom.
Luo Hanfei walked to the window, where a figure stood hidden in the shadows—a guard concealed among the surroundings. He whispered, "Continue the investigation and report back at any time." A glimmer of determination shone in his eyes, reflecting his unwavering resolve.
As he pushed the door open, Luo Hanfei immediately felt Zhao Huiyin's glare. He raised an eyebrow, his expression curious. "What's wrong?"
"Weren't you off courting the princess? Why are you here?"
Zhao Huiyin was well aware of the jealousy lacing her words. She was furious, her face flushed red. She had gotten hurt for him, taking an arrow meant for him, only for him to go off and enjoy himself while she endured the mocking remarks of several maids.
"Are you jealous?" Luo Hanfei asked, genuinely surprised. His eyes widened slightly, but he showed no anger as he pulled a chair and sat beside the bed. "Don't forget you're just a lowly guard."
"I wouldn't dare presume," she retorted, "I just worry about wasting your time and tarnishing your reputation!"
Ugh! Ugh! Just as Zhao Huiyin was about to turn away and ignore him, she moved slightly and felt a sharp pain in her back. "Damn—"
The pain nearly brought tears to her eyes as she cursed inwardly: In my next life, I won't shield any man from arrows, especially not an ungrateful jerk like him!
"Don't move," Luo Hanfei said, pressing down on her shoulder with just the right amount of force.
Zhao Huiyin turned her face into the pillow to avoid looking at him. Suddenly, she felt a cool sensation on her back and gasped, "What are you doing...?"
"Don't move!" Luo Hanfei reprimanded her in a deep, authoritative voice. "This is a medicinal plaster from the palace; it's very good for your wound."
Zhao Huiyin was momentarily stunned into silence before she exploded with anger. "You pervert! You're taking this chance to peek at me, aren't you?!"
She injured her back and couldn't wear clothes, so...she had a lot of spring scenery! She still had clothes last time, but this time...she lost a lot! Her face turned red, she was ashamed and angry. Luo Hanfei was quite disdainful, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile: "With your figure?" Zhao Huiyin gritted his teeth, wishing he could sit up and beat him up immediately! "Get lost!" she roared. "But, considering that you were injured for me, I can let it go." Luo Hanfei lifted her chin, gently lifted her chin with his fingers, and blew ambiguously on her face, "How about it?" Zhao Huiyin glanced at him coldly, with disdain in his eyes: "You should go find your princess." She wouldn't be fooled so easily! Those Maid who came in reluctantly to serve said that Princess Yunshuang was Luo Hanfei's fiancée, and the marriage was granted by the emperor! Damn, he went to prostitutes even though he had a fiancée, villain! He deserves to be syphilitic! "Are you jealous?" "Bah!" Luo Hanfei didn't care at all, still smiling: "Little Guardian, the more you act like this, the more I appreciate you. What do you say we should do?" Being appreciated by a handsome guy was something she had always dreamed of, but why did she feel a chill when she heard Luo Hanfei say that? Zhao Huiyin wrinkled his nose, looking disgusted.
