The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

Actually, it still hurts a little. No, it hurts a lot.

Yun Nian blinked and thought slowly,

The palm of her hand was cut open deeply, and the severe pain made her body tremble uncontrollably.

But the raging storm in Wei Qingjue's eyes made her feel that, at least at this moment, such pain seemed to be able to cover up the painful memory of having her flesh and blood cut off.

"Unbelievable!"

The assassin snorted disdainfully, and was about to use force to swing the sword sideways, which would hurt Yun Nian's hand again.

But he couldn't continue his movement, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he stared at the person behind Yun Nian.

Wei Qingjue pulled the dagger out of the assassin's chest expressionlessly, and the assassin fell backwards.

Yun Nian felt that the sword in her hand seemed to have lost its strength. She slowly loosened her hand and knelt on the ground. The severe pain turned into continuous pain, causing her body to tremble constantly and her head to become dizzy.

She was speechless for a moment. She wanted to use force with her hands but it was too painful to curl up.

"I...it's okay."

She spoke with difficulty, and thought of Wei Qingjue's fear of darkness.

"Are you... ahem... are you okay?"

If she's fine, you must wake up and take her out.

This, this bare-handed catching of a blade is enough just once.

But it's not bad, it's more bearable than the pain of lingchi.

She probably thought that she must look like the strong and determined heroine in martial arts stories, who was not afraid of danger.

But in Wei Qingjue's eyes, Yun Nian was like a cracked piece of porcelain. The porcelain was originally delicate, beautiful, and perfect, but now it was in danger of breaking because of him.

Why is there such a girl, who is obviously so afraid of pain and knows no martial arts at all, but is willing to stand in front of him and protect him when he is shrouded in fear?

He had thought about it many times. When he was thrown into the well, he kept thinking, if only someone could save him, or if only someone could accompany him.

He grew up alone and had already turned into an indestructible, cold-blooded and ruthless monster.

In the eyes of his subjects, he was the regent who had the final say; in the eyes of his subordinates, he was the master who could not be disobeyed; in the eyes of the Colos, he was an enemy who they wanted to kill as soon as possible.

Only Yun Nian seemed to really regard him as a person without any identity.

He himself did not realize how loving and heartbroken his eyes looked now.

Wei Qingjue leaned down. Although the surroundings were still shrouded in the terrifying darkness, he seemed unaware of it at the moment. All his thoughts were occupied by Yun Nian.

"Yun Nian... Yun Nian..."

The wound on her hand was too severe. If she couldn't get out of here quickly and find a doctor, perhaps her hand would not be able to be saved.

But all he saw was darkness, and there was still a buzzing sound in his ears.

The Regent finally realized that he needed to regain his composure, otherwise he would let down the chance of life that Yun Nian had bought with his own hands.

He tore open his inner robe and wrapped Yun Nian's hands to stop the bleeding. During this process, he tried to be as gentle as possible, but Yun Nian still trembled slightly in his arms.

"Hiss... Left, left, I heard the wind coming from there."

Yun Nian regained some clarity and spoke in a low voice, but her hand was so painful that it seemed as if she was pulling the wound when she spoke.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take you out soon."

A low and gentle voice sounded beside her ears. Yun Nian raised her head slightly. She couldn't see the face in the darkness, but could only feel the "thumping" heart beating when it approached.

But the speed of the beating seems to be different from before?

"A little further up."

Yun Nian did not hesitate and continued to guide the direction. Wei Qingjue was no longer afraid of the darkness, but followed her instructions and stepped on the slippery wall tiles.

"This must be some kind of dungeon or something?"

Yun Nian was still trying to distract him from the darkness, lest the silence in the night continue to spread.

"That assassin didn't seem to know this place either, which means they didn't do it."

"Don't worry, Yun Nian, I'm fine."

The sound came out through the vibration of his chest. Wei Qingjue's voice was incredibly gentle.

"I just... don't like the feeling of falling into darkness."

As if he felt it was shameful to say such words in front of Yun Nian, Wei Qingjue's tone revealed a hint of embarrassment that was barely perceptible.

"Well, it doesn't matter. I don't like the dark either. I also hate the cold and the snowy days. People have a lot of things they hate. There's no need to force yourself to accept them."

Yun Nian seemed to have forgotten his own pain and responded seriously,

"Oh yeah, they're here to hunt you down, but you've changed your appearance, haven't you? You've completely changed your appearance?"

After all, it was very easy to recognize her. Just look at Zuo Mingyuan and Xiyu beside her.

"Even if I change my appearance, I can't change my green eyes. Besides, they may not be sure that I am the person they are looking for. They just want to kill the wrong person rather than let him go."

Yun Nian nodded, not quite understanding.

"It seems that being the regent is not that easy. Many people want to kill you."

The sympathy in her tone made Wei Qingjue feel a little helpless. He stretched out his hand and touched the wall inch by inch until he found a groove.

"Crack!"

The sound of the wall moving was heard. Yun Nian turned his head and saw a hole half a person's height appeared in the darkness behind him, revealing the condensed moonlight.

"Look there!"

She pointed to the exit, and Wei Qingjue held her and ran forward effortlessly.

This seemed to be a long passage. The exit seemed very close, but it took Wei Qingjue several dozen breaths to reach the exit even though he was running at full speed.

The closer you get, the more you can smell the salty sea breeze in the air. The low grass and trees are lush, and you can even see water droplets on them under the moonlight.

"It seems to be the seaside, but the place where we fell is clearly on the outskirts of Dongling City. How could it be?"

"how come?"

The voice of the person in my arms was light and fluttery.

Wei Qingjue's thoughts raced. The docks by the sea were guarded by imperial guards, but if a ship approached from the unguarded coastline and entered the suburbs from there, the guards of Dongling City would not be able to react in time.

He took a step forward, and the cold moonlight fell on him, but the body in his arms seemed to become a little heavier.

"Yun Nian?"

He seemed to sense something and lowered his head. The girl finally couldn't hold on any longer and lost consciousness. Her soft, boneless hands dropped down, and the flesh on her palms turned out, which was much more boney than he thought.
