Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

"Okay, okay, okay, don't be greedy. What's mine is yours, and what's yours is still yours, okay?"

"That's pretty much it."

Gu Huai thought Lu Yaoyao's slightly pouting look was adorable, and he couldn't help but move closer and kiss the corner of her lips.

Lu Yaoyao was startled by his sudden intimate behavior and shrank back awkwardly.

Gu Huai didn't care too much.

It was not until the night was deep that Gu Huai came out of Lu's mansion.

Lu Yaoyao had just called the maid to bring in some water and was about to wash up when she keenly noticed someone entering her boudoir.

"Who?" Lu Yaoyao asked sharply, quickly grabbing a pair of scissors from the table and getting ready. Her heartbeat quickened as she glanced around warily.

The house was silent, with only the occasional sound of the night wind coming from outside the window.

"If you don't come out, don't blame me for being rude!"

As soon as Lu Yaoyao finished speaking, a masked man in black flashed out from behind the screen, holding a short blade with a cold glow, pointing it directly at Lu Yaoyao.

"Who are you? How dare you break into my boudoir at night!" Lu Yaoyao was shocked for a moment, but she felt that if there was only one person coming, she could handle it, so she was not so panicked.

The man in black did not answer, but his eyes revealed a sinister look, as if he wanted to eat Lu Yaoyao alive.

He moved and attacked Lu Yaoyao.

Lu Yaoyao dodged sideways and easily avoided the attack. She was about to fight back with the scissors in her hand, but for some reason, her body suddenly began to weaken, as if she had been given cartilage powder and could not muster any strength.

She was startled and changed her tactics, quickly running to the window and preparing to jump out to escape.

However, just as she was about to jump out of the window, the man in black caught up with her and grabbed her ankle.

"Hmph, you want to run? Not that easy!" The man in black sneered and pulled Lu Yaoyao back with force.

Lu Yaoyao fell heavily to the ground, the pain was so severe that she almost fainted.

But she knew that she must not give up resistance at this time, otherwise death would be the only way waiting for her.

She endured the pain, got up and continued to deal with the man in black.

But her abnormal body was a real hindrance. Her arms and legs were slashed several times by the sharp blade in the hands of the man in black.

"Prepare to die!" The man in black looked at Lu Yaoyao, who was desperate and helpless, lying on the ground and moving backwards, with blood winding under her body. Killing intent flashed in his eyes. When he was about to kill Lu Yaoyao with a knife, Lu Yaoyao spit out a dense needle from her mouth, which shot straight at his throat.

The man in black dodged quickly, and the dense needles flew past his neck. While he was distracted, Lu Yaoyao jumped out of the window.

"Someone come, there is an assassin..." She shouted with difficulty, but the yard was empty and not a single servant heard her call and came to support her.

The servants were probably killed before the assassin came in.

After Lu Yaoyao understood this, she ran forward with all her might.

It was very quiet all the way.

Not a single servant passing by saw it.

It seems that the assassin was fully prepared before coming to kill her.

But who wants to kill her?

Dog system, why don’t you make a sound now!

Lu Yaoyao escaped from the Lu Mansion. Not only did her body feel weak, but her mind also began to fall into chaos.

He ran wildly without any sense of direction until he had used up his last bit of strength and finally crashed into a carriage.

"Who dares to ram the Crown Prince's carriage?"

As a sharp voice sounded, Lu Yaoyao's mind filtered out other information, leaving only the word "Crown Prince".

It’s Xie Qingchen!

Then she is saved.

"It's me." She said weakly and then fainted completely.

"It's Miss Lu."

When he closed his eyes, Qingfeng's shocked and worried face was reflected.

Qingfeng turned the woman lying on the ground over, looked at her face clearly, and confirmed that it was Lu Yaoyao. He anxiously said to the people in the carriage, "Your Highness, it's Miss Lu Yaoyao. She doesn't know what happened? Do you want to come out and take a look?"

Xie Qingchen lifted the curtain and walked out. The assassin hidden in the darkness saw Xie Qingchen's face coming out through the curtain and his figure fled backwards.

Xie Qingchen got off the carriage and roughly checked Lu Yaoyao's physical condition. After confirming that she was not in danger of life, he quickly scanned the surroundings with a sharp gaze.

There was silence all around, with only the sound of the wind, and no so-called murderous aura.

But he still frowned.

"Qingfeng, quickly inform Gu Huai and ask him to come to the East Palace immediately. Then send someone to investigate the Lu family to see if there is anything unusual there. I will bring Lu Yaoyao back to the East Palace." Xie Qingchen ordered in a deep voice, with unquestionable majesty in his tone.

Qingfeng took the order and left, while Xie Qingchen carried Lu Yaoyao onto the carriage and asked the coachman to whip the horse as fast as possible to rush back to the East Palace immediately.

Inside the carriage, Lu Yaoyao curled up with her brows furrowed, looking defensive and uneasy.

Xie Qingchen thought about it, sat down beside her, and gently held her hand. A warm power passed from his palm into her body.

After returning to the East Palace, Xie Qingchen immediately ordered people to place Lu Yaoyao in the side hall of his own bedroom and summoned a doctor to treat her.

After a careful examination, the doctor confirmed that apart from some minor external injuries and the effects of the incense, Lu Yaoyao was fine and would recover after a few days of rest.

Xie Qingchen's brows finally relaxed after listening to the doctor's report.

However, we will have to wait until she wakes up to find out what exactly happened to Lu Yaoyao.

At the same time, after receiving Qingfeng's notification, Gu Huai rushed to the East Palace anxiously.

Along the way, dangerous scenes that Lu Yaoyao might encounter kept appearing in his mind. His fists were clenched, and his eyes were full of anxiety and anger.

Arriving at the East Palace, Gu Huai went straight to the side hall of Xie Qingchen's bedroom. Fortunately, Xie Qingchen had already informed the servants, so he had a smooth journey.

When he opened the door, he saw Lu Yaoyao lying quietly on the bed, unconscious, and his eyes immediately turned red.

"How is she?" Gu Huai asked the doctor beside him.

"General Gu, please rest assured. Miss Lu is fine now. She just needs to rest." The doctor replied.

Gu Huai nodded, confirming that Lu Yaoyao was not in danger. He then remembered to pick up his proper etiquette and saluted Xie Qingchen, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Your Highness, why did Yaoyao encounter an assassin? What exactly happened?"

Xie Qingchen frowned and said, "This matter also feels strange to me. Qingfeng has sent secret guards to investigate the Lu family. I believe there will be news soon."

Hearing this, Gu Huai calmed down a little. He walked to the bedside, sat down, and held Lu Yaoyao's hand.

"Yaoyao, you have to wake up quickly."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left your house tonight. If I had known your life was in danger, I should have stayed with you the whole time."

Xie Qingchen's eyes changed rapidly several times, and finally became cold. He gave the doctor a look, and the two left together, leaving the side hall to Gu Huai and Lu Yaoyao.
