The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

Immediately afterwards, a group of men in black rushed into the room, led by Dark Night.

With a swift stroke, he killed the two men who had tried to harm Dongfang Wan'er.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the two heads rolled off.

However, because Ye Jiuchen's tall figure blocked Dongfang Wan'er's view, she did not see this bloody scene.

When Ye Jiuchen saw that Dongfang Wan'er was safe and sound, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally put at ease.

He asked gently, "Wan'er, are you alright? Were you frightened?"

After saying that, he carefully picked up Dongfang Wan'er, his eyes full of concern.

Feeling the warmth of Ye Jiuchen's embrace, Dongfang Wan'er felt a little awkward. She hadn't expected Ye Jiuchen to come to her rescue...

She shook her head slightly to indicate that she was fine.

Ye Jiuchen breathed a sigh of relief. He gently stroked Dongfang Wan'er's hair and said softly, "It's good that you're alright. With me here, you'll be fine."

"Ye Jiuchen, I'm fine, put me down..." Dongfang Wan'er struggled to get down, but Ye Jiuchen held her tightly and refused to let go. He said softly, "Wan'er, be good, you were just frightened, you need to rest."

Dongfang Wan'er was stunned and muttered to herself, "Ye Jiuchen, have you misunderstood something? I wasn't frightened..." However, Ye Jiuchen didn't seem to notice this and stubbornly held her, as if afraid that she would disappear.

Finally, Ye Jiuchen carried Dongfang Wan'er onto a luxurious carriage. Her eyes widened in amazement—this carriage was not only more luxurious than the one that had taken her home before, but also much more spacious.

After entering the carriage, Ye Jiuchen gently said to Dongfang Wan'er, "Come, Wan'er, have some hot tea to warm yourself up." Then, he handed her a steaming cup of tea. Dongfang Wan'er took the teacup, took a small sip, and felt the aroma of the tea spread in her mouth, a warmth rising in her heart.

Seeing that she had finished her tea, Ye Jiuchen asked with concern, "Are you hungry? Would you like some snacks?" As he spoke, he placed a plate of delicate pastries in front of her. Dongfang Wan'er looked at the tempting food in front of her and couldn't help but swallow, but she shook her head to indicate that she wasn't hungry yet.

Seeing this, Ye Jiuchen sighed softly, covered her with a blanket, and gently instructed, "It's a bit chilly, put on the blanket so you don't catch a cold." After saying that, he carefully tucked the edges of the blanket around her.

Dongfang Wan'er could no longer bear Ye Jiuchen's excessive concern and quickly interrupted him: "Stop, stop, stop! Ninth Prince, look at me now, I don't look like someone who has been frightened at all! Also, how do you know I've been kidnapped? Where is my mother? Is she alright?"

Faced with Dongfang Wan'er's questioning, Ye Jiuchen stopped what he was doing and answered seriously, "Your mother is fine. She has already gone to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. I met her on the way and told her that you would be home soon, and to wait patiently. As for how I learned about your kidnapping, it was quite a coincidence. I overheard people talking about it on the way, so I went to check it out, and unexpectedly found you."

"How did you find me?" This was the question Dongfang Wan'er was most concerned about.

“I have my own way of doing things. Here, have some tea…” Ye Jiuchen picked up the teacup again and poured the tea into another cup.

Dongfang Wan'er had no choice but to take the cup and take a sip. Hmm, the taste was not bad. She took a few more sips, savoring the aroma of the tea spreading in her mouth.
