Chapter 68

Chu Yi looked at the blood stained by his fingertips touching the corner of his mouth, his eyes slightly condensed.

The warm breath from her fingertips made her wake up completely.

Xiao Yan's lips were still so soft, even if it was just a momentary touch, she could feel his hot breath.

Why was he injured again, Chu Yi pretended to look at him calmly, only to see a little new blood slowly seeping out of the corner of his mouth that had been wiped away by himself.

The cherished thoughts and memories dissipated, Chu Yi lowered his head and looked at Xiao Yan's origin.

Sure enough, streaks of red blood were spreading on the bluestone ground, and when he stepped on it, a smear of scarlet came out from the hem of his navy blue shirt, slipped down, and melted into the rain.

There was a very faint smell of blood in the air, and whether it was the smell or the blood, it would soon disappear without a trace in this heavy rain.

Xu Xiang is no longer there, and Xiao Yan is still the guard in front of the royal family. Who will hurt him?
Even though he looked as usual, except for the blood on his lips and the blood on the hem of his clothes, he couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. Compared to before, perhaps the injuries he suffered were not even minor ones. Chu Yi still narrowed his eyes slightly. A faint light passed by, and the index finger on his side curled up.

"It took some time on the road, and I didn't arrive at Weiyang Palace to inform me that I took the umbrella in Mingyue Pavilion."

Xiao Yan explained to Yin Bing succinctly that he did not answer Chu Yi's question, but took a half step closer to her.

The young man has long hands and feet, so he can hold an umbrella for her without any effort, blocking all wind and rain outside the umbrella.

He looked at Chu Yi, and there was a clear look of shame in his cold and clear phoenix eyes.

The little girl in front of her was pale and soaked all over. She looked pitiful, like a bird falling into the water. Her big black and white eyes were wet and bright.

He shouldn't say that the little princess is squeamish, she should always be as bright as the morning sun.

If you came faster, the little princess wouldn't get caught in the rain.

Only then did Chu Yi know that it was Yin Bing who asked him to go back to Weiyang Palace to get an umbrella, and there was only one explanation for Xiao Yan's sudden injury—he was on the way, uh, was beaten?
Maybe he shouldn't worry about whether he is okay, but should worry about. Is the person who beat him okay, is he still alive?

Yin Bing also saw the half-inch bloodstain on the edge of Xiao Yan's lower lip. She stared at the bloodstain for a long time, thought about it, and said, "This is a flying knife."

Only the thin flying knife used by the eunuch in the palace can make such a thin wound. Xiao Yan should be glad that the knife was not coated with poison.

"Flying Knife?" Chu Yi's eyes were slightly cold, and she pinned a lock of wet hair behind her ear, "Bengong really opened his eyes. When can we do anything to others in this palace?"

Xiao Yan looked at the bird's fluttering wings in front of him, and the blood-stained thin lips couldn't help but rise slightly, and the outlines became more and more sultry. Without knowing it.

He lowered his head, holding an umbrella like this, as if a petite princess was in his arms.

Xiao Yan knew that he shouldn't think like this, but at this moment, he still couldn't help but feel paranoid.

"It's my fault, or I got you in the rain." He restrained his eyes, and there was a hoarseness in his voice.

Chu Yi clearly heard the heartbeat of his loud voice.

She even glanced at Yinbing with a guilty conscience. The martial arts practitioners have good ears and eyesight. Did Yinbing also hear her heartbeat so loud?
Yin Bing suddenly said, "I didn't hear it."

".You may not speak."

"There's no need to apologize," Chu Yi avoided the innocent and confusing eyes of the young man, took a step back in a panic, and half of his body fell into the rain, "It was Ben Gong who wanted to get in the rain."

Said, in order to prove it to him, Chu Yi took the initiative to withdraw from the range of the umbrella, and his back was smashed by the rain in an instant, and it became cold again.

The strange thing is that with Xiao Yan by her side, the cold and sticky rainwater around her doesn't seem to be annoying at all. She looks at him and feels very at ease.

Xiao Yan stared at the water droplets hanging on Chu Yi's long eyelashes, and a few blue veins burst out from the hand holding the umbrella handle.

This little bird with wet feathers is really noisy.

Then, he couldn't bear it any longer, and threw the umbrella in his arms to Yinbing.

Yin Bing took the umbrella with a dumbfounded face, and the next moment, Xiao Yan threw the umbrella he was holding to her.

She had an umbrella in her left hand and an umbrella in her right hand. She lowered her head unhappily and stared at the sword around her waist, finding that she could no longer draw the sword.

However, in this way, the area supported is larger, and it can cover himself, the princess and Xiao Yan.

But holding two umbrellas alone is silly and tiring, Yin Bing wanted to roll his eyes at Xiao Yan.

"You, what are you going to do?" Chu Yi felt that something wasn't right, so he swallowed and stepped back.

"do nothing."

Xiao Yan said this, suddenly raised his arm, and hugged Chu Yi by the waist!
"Xiao Yan, you—!" The world turned around for a moment, and then, Chu Yi found that he had been trapped in Xiao Yan's arms. He even used only three fingers to hold her wiggling arm.

Even if she is in good health, she is still "weak and unable to take care of herself" in front of him.

"You are presumptuous! This palace is Princess Yongning!"

"Don't move." Xiao Yan's voice seemed to be right next to his ear, and Chu Yi felt that his ear quickly became hot.

"Princess, don't get in the rain, the minister will send you back to the palace."

He said in a low voice, with clear seriousness and stubbornness in his phoenix eyes.

The young man seemed to be very thin, but in fact, his chest was warm and wide, which dispelled the chill on her body. Chu Yi couldn't help burying the tip of his nose in his arms, smelling an extremely light peach sweetness.

Because he has candy in his pocket.

In the past life, Xiao Yan also had the same taste.

But he wouldn't look at him so sincerely and gently, and he wouldn't hold her gently in his arms. He would just sneer and throw her on his shoulders and carry her back.

The young man's breath brought her to the past, the Great Demon King bit her ear, breathed provocatively, and said: Chu Yi, do you know the consequences of disobeying this king?
Chu Yi subconsciously clenched the clothes on Xiao Yan's chest, without struggling, he still buried his head in his arms to prevent him from finding his flushed face.

She calmed her heartbeat and asked in a muffled voice, "Who hurt you? Yinbing asked you to go to Weiyang Palace to get an umbrella? What happened? What happened on the road? Is your injury serious?"

With Chu Yi's small movements, Xiao Yan's eyes darkened little by little.

"Princess don't need to worry, the minister is fine, the minister can recognize the person who hurts the minister."

He used his inner strength to dry his wet clothes, and walked forward with Chu Yi in his arms, walking slowly and steadily on the corridor, not letting the person in his arms get a drop of rain every step of the way.

Xiao Yan calmly folded his arms and continued: "When I was about to arrive at Weiyang Palace, I met five eunuchs with their faces covered, and I thought it was the people in the palace who were carrying out some kind of mission, and was about to take a detour to leave. , they suddenly exploded."

Chu Yi didn't notice his movements, Xing's eyes flashed with chills, and the hand holding his clothes tightened into a fist, and asked, "Who is there?"

She has no doubts about Xiao Yan's words, because in the past life, no matter who came to assassinate them, merchants and pawns, guards, old people and children, ordinary couples. No matter how flawlessly disguised these people were, he could easily see through them and ridicule them. some time.

Besides, now, there are only five masked eunuchs in the palace.

Knowing what happened to Xiao Yan when he was a child, Chu Yi even felt a little proud and distressed. How much suffering and torture did he go through to have such an ability?In fact, the Great Demon King used to be just a cute and simple child. In fact, now he is also happy that others did not despise him. He will put down his guard when he gets a candy. Even when his face is expressionless, she can see his eyes. various emotions.

Xiao Yan lowered her head, the angry little princess in her arms was light and soft, like a cool ball of cotton, and her body seemed to exude a faint floral fragrance.

Chu Yi was angry because she was injured, and she had no doubt that she could really remember who those masked people were, she believed in herself.

Realizing this, uncontrollable joy rose in his heart.

"Qibao and Chen Fu of Wenyuan Pavilion, Wang Zheng of Zhongcui Palace, and two other ministers have never met, so I don't know them."

Xiao Yan recalled the five people he saw. Although these people were all covered, and they started in the heavy rain, no one knew that he had experienced dozens of times, hundreds of times in Yong Kingdom's palace, from childhood to adulthood. He had long been accustomed to a similar assassination.

Since he became the imperial guard, he has known many people in the Yan Kingdom Palace, and they can't hide it from themselves.

Yin Bing held two umbrellas and followed behind these two people, his eyes were full of unhappiness.

She also wanted to hug the princess, this Xiao Yan really did it first, hmph, when she goes back to the palace to ask for Ayi, she will fall asleep with her tonight!
