"Anxia." Su Jingning called softly to the outside of the door.

The door was slowly pushed open, and An Xia, dressed in blue, came in from outside.

"Miss." She bowed to Su Jingning.

"Go and find out for yourself the identity of the killer in Huoshan that day." Su Jingning said in a slightly cold voice.

"After the girl got into trouble, I went to Huoshan to investigate. The killers in Huoshan that day were not only the ones the girl met. There was another group. Because they died deep in Huoshan, the soldiers who searched did not find them. As for their identities, I don't know the leader yet." An Xia replied to Su Jingning.

"There are two groups? Do you know who the target of the other group of killers is?" Su Jingning looked at her and asked softly.

"I checked all the people who were in Huoshan that day and found that the Prince of Beiyang had left for a while and came out of the Huoshan hunting ground early. If I'm not mistaken, those people's target was the Prince of Beiyang. These two groups of killers are from the same group." An Xia replied in a deep voice.

Su Jingning frowned slightly, which meant that the group of people assassinated her and Gu Yan'an at the same time. The person behind the scenes wanted to kill both her and Gu Yan'an.

His Majesty was also at Huoshan Hunting Ground, so the defense of Huoshan Hunting Ground was definitely very strict. How did so many assassins sneak into Huoshan under such tight defense? Unless someone deliberately let them in.

Thinking of this, Su Jingning suddenly looked up and asked An Xia, "Your Majesty, who will be responsible for the defense of Huoshan Camp during this spring hunt?"

"It seems to be General Cheng Shu."

General Cheng Shu of Dingnan was a well-known upright person. Could she be wrong?

"Go and check who he has met recently, or who has asked to meet him, and also check the people at his family recently." Su Jingning ordered.

"Yes." An Xia said and turned around and walked out.

After An Xia left, Su Jingning lay down, gently covering her wound. She had slept for three days, but she still felt dizzy and wanted to lie down.

Click——

Su Jingning heard a very light sound. She was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to take out the knife under the pillow, but she seemed to think of something and slowly withdrew her hand. She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

She felt the man slowly approaching her, getting closer and closer until he stopped in front of her bed. Su Jingning smelled the faint ancient sandalwood scent he brought in the air. It was really him.

Gu Yan'an stood beside Su Jingning's bed. During the three days she was in a coma, he knew that her condition was unstable and sometimes better and sometimes worse. He waited outside the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for three days but did not dare to go in to see her. He was afraid that when he saw her fragile appearance, he would not be able to control his blood parasite and would get sick in front of her.

It was not until today, when he knew she had finally woken up, that he dared to come in and see her.

Looking at Su Jingning's pale and sickly face, his heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife. He was indeed a monster and a disaster. He just wanted to be closer to her, but he had caused her to become like this.

Gu Yan'an looked gentle and caring, looking at her frowning brows. She had lost so much blood, it must be very painful, right? He gently reached out to smooth the hair on the side of her face, but was afraid to wake the girl up.

I wanted to reach out my hand, but it was held tightly by a slightly cold little hand.

Gu Yan'an met the girl's dark starry eyes. There was no trace of sleepiness in those eyes. She was just pretending to be asleep.

Su Jingning tightly grasped Gu Yan'an's hand, his almond-shaped eyes were slightly cold, and he stared at Gu Yan'an with his big round eyes, his voice was a little stiff with anger:

"You want to leave without saying anything."

She stared at Gu Yan'an closely, struggling to get up, accidentally pulling at her wound. She frowned, but still didn't let go of his hand, as if she was afraid he would leave.

Gu Yan'an nervously helped her up with his other hand.

Su Jingning sat up straight, looking at Gu Yan'an, whose face was pale and his eyes were tired, and her eyes suddenly became wet. She looked at him, her voice was a little aggrieved with tears:

"Gu Yan'an, don't sneak away again."

Seeing Su Jingning suddenly burst into tears, he felt a little helpless. He tried clumsily to wipe away her tears, but the more he wiped, the more tears came.

"Don't cry, I'm here, I'm not gone." He coaxed awkwardly.

"Gu Yan'an, come closer to me, my wound hurts." Su Jingning's nose was red from crying, and he held Gu Yan'an's hand even tighter.

Gu Yan'an looked at her tearful eyes, which were full of caution. He gently moved closer to her and looked at her carefully, hoping that she would stop crying.

"Ayan, you idiot...does it hurt?"

Gu Yan'an looked at the girl who suddenly jumped into his arms, holding his breath, not daring to move. He seemed to hear his heart beating violently. She... hugged him and called her Ah Yan!

His eyes were full of doting and warmth. He slowly reached out his hand, gently patted the girl's trembling back, and coaxed her softly, "Don't cry, okay? I won't leave. I'm a fool, okay..."

With his gentle coaxing, Su Jingning finally stopped crying. When she saw him, she thought of how he would die. She suddenly became very scared, afraid that he would leave, and she was even more afraid that she would never see him again.

"Ayan, I regret it. I regret telling you that day in the hunting ground that we are just friends." Su Jingning buried his head in Gu Yan'an's chest and spoke in a muffled voice with a heavy nasal tone.

There was a flash of nervousness, fear and some uncertainty in Gu Yan'an's eyes. He gently pulled Su Jingning away, looked down at Su Jingning, with a seriousness in his eyes that he had never had before.

"What do you want to say?"

Su Jingning's eyes were slightly red, and she caught the fear and uncertainty in Gu Yan'an's eyes, and her heart ached slightly. She looked at Gu Yan'an with a sincere and clear expression:

"Gu Yanan, I like you. So I am afraid that you will get hurt, sad, angry, and I am afraid that I will not see you. Every time I see you, I feel at ease. As long as I am with you, all my worries will disappear. Gu Yanan, I want you to always be by my side, and I want to be with you forever."

The girl's voice was soft and shallow, but every word she spoke caused a great stir in Gu Yan'an's heart. He stared at her closely, trying to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and his hand holding her shoulder trembled slightly.

After Su Jingning finished speaking, she suddenly closed her eyes, not daring to look up at him. She only felt that his eyes were a little hot when he looked at her, and her heart was pounding like a deer. It seemed that all her courage had just been used up.

Suddenly, she was gently embraced in a warm embrace. He held her very tightly, like a lost treasure, carefully and lovingly. Because he held her so tightly, she could even hear his fast and strong heartbeat and his slightly trembling body.

"Su Jingning, I took what you said today seriously, so you can never regret it." He lowered his head and rubbed the girl's furry hair, his eyes full of tenderness and attachment.

His voice was soft and pleasant, concealing his love for her.

Su Jingning didn't say anything, but just gently hugged his waist, slowly tightened his hands, and nodded vigorously.

Gu Yanan hugged Su Jingning, happy as if he was hugging the whole world, but no one seemed to know that the girl in his arms was everything in his world...
