My Husband
The chaotic screams outside the car window made Lin Suisui feel worried again. At the same time, she couldn’t help but scold herself for being happy too early.
The current turmoil in the palace was aimed at taking the crown prince’s life. Now, not to mention that the crown prince’s life wasn’t in danger, even his position as the crown prince wasn’t endangered. He was only imprisoned in the Li Palace!
How could the mastermind let this go?!
The most direct way was definitely to send someone to assassinate him!
As long as he killed the crown prince, everything would be fine.
The carriage was dark. Lin Suisui was protected by the crown prince. The man’s heavy breath sprayed on the side of her neck. She subconsciously cowered and wanted to hide, but the man on top of her protected her even more tightly. “Don’t move!”
The close contact made the sound of their heartbeats intertwine.
“Those assassins outside came prepared. Those guards won’t be able to last long.” The man leaned into her ear and whispered about the situation. It was clearly a matter of life and death, but his calm attitude made it seem as if he was just going out for a walk. Before Lin Suisui could react, the crown prince had already started to take off her heavy and cumbersome outerwear. “Follow me closely later. These clothes are too cumbersome. Take them off!”
“I’ll do it myself!”
Lin Suiyun reacted quickly. Without hesitation, she agreed with the crown prince’s actions. The crown prince saw that she was cooperating, so he released his grip on her. Lin Suiyun quickly took off her heavy and cumbersome outerwear. Not only that, but she also quickly removed the heavy headdress from her head. Her black hair was tied behind her head with a strip of cloth. She didn’t throw away the messy pile of jewelry, but stuffed them into her arms.
Seeing the crown prince staring at her, Lin Suisui blushed and explained in a low voice, “We have to use the silver in the future.”
The crown prince didn’t say anything about her actions. He just chuckled and continued, “Follow me closely later!”
Lin Suisui nodded vigorously. She did use her actions to show that she definitely wouldn’t be a burden in this life-and-death escape!
Previously, Lin Suisui had already witnessed the crown prince’s display of strength in the East Palace. Therefore, even if the surrounding assassins quickly gathered, he could still kill his way through the crowd with ease. He protected her and successfully obtained some resting time in the byzantine alley nearby.
Lin Suisui, who had finally stopped running, felt exhausted.
Every time she panted, her chest and lungs hurt. However, she couldn’t care less about resting now. Instead, she anxiously turned to look at the crown prince, who was sitting against the wall and resting.
She was only tired from running for a long time, but he had fought his way here with injuries. After this battle, he was probably even more injured.
“Are you alright?!” Lin Suisui said as she checked the crown prince’s condition under the dim moonlight. Unable to do anything else, she could only temporarily tear off her skirt and bandage his injuries.
“You can leave now.” The man leaned against the wall for a short rest. Although his face was pale and he looked slightly fragile, Lin Suisui still didn’t dare to treat him as an ordinary person.
Even if ferocious beasts were injured, they were still ferocious beasts!
She didn’t have the time to think too deeply about whether the crown prince’s words were sincere. She only knew that there were two attacks that she couldn’t have dodged on her own just now, and that the man in front of her had blocked those two attacks for her. At this moment, one wound was on his shoulder, and the other wound was on his back. At this moment, his flesh was lacerated, and the wound looked especially terrifying. If the weapon had deviated even slightly, then…
No matter what, the crown prince had saved her life. No matter what, she couldn’t abandon him!
Besides, she knew nothing about the world in front of her. Compared to others, the man in front of her who was willing to protect her was more trustworthy.
“You should know that if you follow me in the future, there will definitely be danger everywhere. If you choose to go home now, they will definitely be able to protect you if they want to.”
The crown prince’s voice was extremely low, but he analyzed the pros and cons for her.
Lin Suisui didn’t say anything, but didn’t stop bandaging him.
When she had dressed both his wounds, she turned to look at the crown prince and replied word for word, “I’m not leaving.”
“As far as I know, my fourth brother is still waiting for you.” The crown prince opened his eyes. His eyes made his expression look innocent and aloof, but Lin Suisui knew very well how misleading such eyes were.
She blinked and was silent for a moment before saying, “But you’re my husband now. What happened in the past doesn’t matter anymore. Besides, I’m not an ingrate. You protected me twice and saved my life. I can’t leave you behind!”
“If you want to stay, then stay.” The crown prince stared at Lin Suisui for a long time, as if to confirm the veracity of her words. However, he didn’t dissuade her any further. Instead, he used this short window of escape from the pursuers to continue to rest and recover his strength.
It was nighttime now, so the nighttime darkness helped them hide from pursuit. The greatest test for them would be after dawn.
“Your Highness, we can’t stay here any longer. If we wait until dawn, we won’t be able to hide your injuries.” What the crown prince could think of, Lin Suisui had naturally considered as well.
She stood up straight and circled around to check the situation around her. She quickly squatted down again and suggested to the crown prince, “We have to find a safe place to lie low first.”
“There are hiding places, but we’re surrounded by pursuers. It won’t be easy to get past them.” The crown prince opened his eyes and looked at Lin Sui. “Are you sure you want to take the risk with me?!”
Lin Suisui couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath. She reached out to help the crown prince up to show how much she despised his continuous probing.
The crown prince didn’t refuse Lin Suisui’s help at this moment. He stood up and simply led Lin Suisui into another alley. He moved skillfully and quickly through the dark alley. However, no matter how familiar he was with the terrain, with the siege outside, there was still some danger.
With the sudden flurry of footsteps and swaying torches at the entrance of the alley, Lin Suisui had an idea. She turned around and threw the nervous crown prince against the mud wall behind the debris. She cried out, “Husband…”
