Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 465 The General's Daughter vs. the Deposed Crown Prince with No Heir (2)

When Shen Shuyi found Zhao Heng using the coordinates provided by 66, he was already lying motionless in the woods.

She walked over quickly and, by the moonlight, saw that incomparably handsome face.

Just as she crouched down to check his injuries, the seriously injured and unconscious man became extremely wary and raised his hand to attack her neck.

Shen Shuyi pressed his hand down, "Don't move if you don't want to die."

"Who are you?!" Zhao Heng's eyes were cold and sharp.

Shen Shuyi snorted, "I will be your savior. If you resist again, you may bleed to death."

Zhao Heng didn't sense her murderous aura, and seeing that she was a young girl with her face covered by a light veil, he exhausted himself and lowered his hand.

He said weakly, "I'm sorry."

Shen Shuyi took out a top-grade healing medicine she had redeemed from the system. "Where are you injured? Let me stop the bleeding first."

Zhao Heng no longer had time to consider her purpose in saving him; he only wanted to return to Chang'an alive.

"Lower left abdomen." In the moment when his old ailment flared up and he was lost in thought, he was stabbed by an assassin.

Shen Shuyi told 66 to be aware of their surroundings, then reached out and unbuttoned Zhao Heng's clothes, saying, "I'll stop the bleeding for you."

She moved swiftly, applying needles and medicine without looking away. After applying the medicine, she used the soft sword beside Zhao Heng to cut a long strip of cloth from her long skirt to bandage the wound.

During this time, the pain brought Zhao Heng back to his senses. His gaze fell directly on the girl's face, which was covered by a light veil, revealing only a pair of clear and beautiful eyes.

As she bent down to apply medicine to herself, a delicate fragrance wafted over, like the sweet scent of red plum blossoms in winter.

"Alright." Shen Shuyi pretended not to notice his gaze, reached out to take his pulse and felt his forehead.

Zhao Heng had been holding on. He had signaled to his men after he was seriously injured and fell to the ground, hiding in the woods, waiting for reinforcements to arrive. Unexpectedly, he encountered this young girl with remarkable medical skills, and the bleeding had already stopped.
"Thank you."

Shen Shuyi glanced around and said, "I'm really unlucky. I went out for a walk at night and ran into this terrible thing."

"I don't know if the thugs who wanted to kill you are still around, which makes me afraid to go back to the post station."

After she finished speaking, she looked down at the man lying on the ground.

Zhao Heng's expression returned to calm, as if he were still the gentle and polite crown prince. "My men will be here soon. If you trust me, you can wait a bit before you leave."

With her around, I have an extra layer of protection should my injury change.

Shen Shuyi seemed to be considering it.

"I'm still a young, unmarried girl. What's the point of me staying with you? I need to find a way back. I can't let my brother find out I ran away."

"My subordinates are very tight-lipped, so you can rest assured, young lady."

Shen Shuyi looked at him suspiciously. "If you weren't so handsome, I might not have bothered with this. Who knows if you're a good person or a bad person?"

"Oh no! Grandma says the better-looking people are, the more likely they are to lie."

Zhao Heng's consciousness grew increasingly hazy.
Shen Shuyi looked at the unconscious man. "66, how far are Zhao Heng's men from here? Have all the assassins been dealt with?"

[The assassin has been eliminated; his men are on their way. Why don't you stay, host? It would give you more opportunities to spend time together.]
Shen Shuyi gently shook her head, "If I take the initiative to approach him in the early stages, I'm afraid he'll suspect my motives. It's better to let him come closer to me, and then I'll leave first."

Knowing of her remarkable medical skills, Zhao Heng would think of her first when he wanted to treat his old ailment.

It was already past midnight when they returned to the post station. There was no sound outside, and even the guards at the gate had left.

Shen Shuyi slept until dawn, and when she woke up in the morning, it was Lvwu who helped her wash up.

"Miss, there are quite a few soldiers standing outside, and a luxurious carriage. I wonder who the owner is," Green Willow muttered to herself as she combed Green Willow's hair.

Lüwu was her personal maid who had served her since childhood. She was lively, efficient, and loyal. Shen Shuyi, of course, knew what was going on outside; it was just a matter of whether Zhao Heng was willing to reveal his identity.

She walked out of the room wearing a light purple dress and with her hair styled in a gentle and charming updo.

As soon as she arrived at the inn's dining area, she saw Zhao Heng, whose face was still somewhat pale, but whose handsome features remained undiminished. He was dressed in luxurious clothes and wore a jade pendant at his waist.

Shen Feng stepped forward first. "Shuyi, this is Prince Su. He will be traveling with us back to Chang'an."

When Shen Shuyi saw Zhao Heng, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, lowered her head slightly, and stepped forward to pay her respects.

"My daughter greets His Majesty."

Under the sunlight, Zhao Heng could clearly see the girl's face; her small face was so beautiful it seemed otherworldly.

Even though she wasn't wearing a veil, he recognized this Miss Shen as the skilled young doctor who had saved him the night before.

Moreover, he had already checked and there were no other young women around.

Zhao Heng looked away. "Miss Shen, there's no need for such formalities. Come and have breakfast with us."

Before Shen Shuyi could answer, a strange look flashed in Shen Feng's eyes. Why was this Prince Su, who had always been indifferent to women, inviting Shuyi to dine at the same table?
Shen Shuyi didn't think too much about it. The original owner grew up with her maternal grandmother and wasn't bound by many formalities, so her words and actions had a natural liveliness.

Her eyes crinkled into a smile. "Then I thank Your Highness for the seat."

Shen Feng initially intended to refuse, but since one person had ordered food to be served and the other had already sat down, he had no choice but to sit down as well.

Shen Shuyi glanced at Zhao Heng out of the corner of her eye. He was a tall, gentle man, looking like a refined gentleman.

No one spoke during the meal, and the group finished their breakfast and prepared to depart.

Zhao Heng's subordinates and Shen Feng were all inspecting the carriages and horses, leaving only Shen Shuyi and Zhao Heng. She stepped forward and said with a light laugh:
"I never expected to meet the famous Prince Su here."

"A renowned name? I wonder what Miss Shen thinks of me?" Zhao Heng thought she looked even more beautiful when she smiled, as if a fairy had gained a touch of mortal charm.

Shen Shuyi didn't expect him to say that, but anyone can say flattering things, and she looked him in the eyes quite sincerely as she said it.

"Rumor has it that the prince is a great hero who stands tall and upright, striking fear into the hearts of the enemy!"

Zhao Heng smiled faintly, "I think Miss Shen is the truly remarkable person."

Shen Shuyi winked at him, "I don't understand what you're saying."

Seeing her feigned innocence and radiant smile, Zhao Heng didn't expose what had happened the night before.

Once inside the carriage, Shen Shuyi planned to sleep all the way to the General's Mansion, but someone wouldn't let her be so comfortable.

At noon, they rested and had lunch in the wild. When Shen Shuyi was drinking water under a big tree, Shen Feng came over.

"Now that you're back at the General's Mansion, don't be willful and make things difficult for Qingyi again."

Shen Shuyi raised her eyes and looked at him coldly, "What do you mean by that?"

"Do you really think I pushed Shen Qingyi into the lake ten years ago?"

"Or are you now that you're going to inherit the General's Mansion and want to lecture me as the head of the family?"

Shen Feng seemed to have his thoughts stepped on and became furious.

This scene was witnessed by Zhao Heng, who was resting and setting up camp not far away.
