Chapter 13 Caught in the Act
I was startled, and the knife in my hand fell to the ground.
The man stared at me and repeated it again.
"This Prince is asking you a question."
"Answer This Prince."
I wanted to kill him but was caught in the act.
Assassinating the current crown prince, even if I had ten heads, I was afraid it would not be enough to chop off.
I pursed my lips.
"I just wanted to check if Your Highness's wound was better..."
This lie was actually very clumsy.
But he believed it.
He sighed, "This Prince's life is entrusted to you."
After saying that, he closed his eyes again.
This time, I did not dare to act rashly again.
I had been too impulsive earlier.
At this hour, others must have already left the hunting ground, leaving only me and Zhao Yan.
If he died, even if I did not kill him, I was afraid I could not escape the blame at that time.
I could not drag him, so I could only wait in place.
After a while, the imperial guards came searching.
I followed them back to the Eastern Palace.
Zhao Yan was seriously injured, and the emperor and empress were extremely anxious.
Zhang Ruhua also came.
For some reason, I always felt that she secretly looked at me several times.
The empress wiped her tears and said to me:
"Zhao Yan has always valued you the most on ordinary days. You just stay here and guard him."
I quickly agreed.
Perhaps I was too guilty. That day, I did not dare to leave him for half a step.
While guarding, I fell asleep.
In a daze, I noticed someone carrying me onto the bed.
My lips were also pried open by someone.
Gently bitten once.
