Li Siwan looked around, looking for a breakthrough.

But the man in the audience suddenly stood up.

And moved closer to the stage.

The stage is too high, so it’s better to walk from the back.

During the interval between performances, Li Siwan turned around and prepared to run backstage.

Xiu'er is probably tripped now, and if I were caught at this time.

That would be the end of it.

But before she could take two steps, she found that a man in black was chasing her from the backstage.

Attacked from both sides, there is nowhere to escape.

Li Siwan held medicine powder and silver needles in his hands, mixed them on the stage, thinking of the final way to break out.

Seeing that the opera was coming to an end, there was a sound of gongs and drums, and as the actors bowed, a man in black suddenly rushed towards Li Siwan.

Li Siwan was caught off guard and subconsciously scattered all the medicine powder and silver needles.

The man in black was knocked back, and when he regained his balance, he found a silver needle stuck in his neck.

The man in black was obviously angry after being hurt by such a delicate woman.

The murderous intent was already revealed. Just as Li Siwan turned to escape, the man in black stabbed Li Siwan's back with the long sword in his hand.

"No!"

The man who was originally standing in the audience realized something was wrong and suddenly spoke up.

But it was too late.

Li Siwan staggered backwards and was forced to the edge of the platform.

She watched the sword approaching and had no time to dodge, so she was stabbed hard in the shoulder.

The intense pain made Li Siwan frown in agony, and blood slid down the wound, staining her clothes red.

Li Siwan raised his foot and kicked the man in black.

She used this force to turn around, intending to take this opportunity to fight for her chance of survival.

The angry man in black slapped Li Siwan on the back.

She was caught off guard and when she turned over, her head hit the stage pillar behind her. Her vision went black and her body was shaken out of control by the impact.

The next moment, she fell directly from the platform in her costume.

The cold wind lifted the corners of Li Siwan's clothes, and endless coldness ran through her whole body.

Li Siwan just felt very tired, and she stretched out her hand hard to grab something.

She had finally made it to this day, so of course she was unwilling to die like this.

but……

It seems too late.

At this moment, she seemed to see Xiahou Su.

Maybe he was thinking too much about it, he actually had hallucinations when he was dying.

Xiahou Su, see you in the next life.

Li Siwan slowly closed his eyes, as if ready to leave.

The man in the audience saw that something was wrong and rushed towards Li Siwan.

But there was another figure that was faster than him.

"Late night!"

With an angry shout, a figure flashed by, passed the man, and directly caught the falling Li Siwan in his arms.

The blood on her body and her pale face irritated Xiahou Su's nerves.

"Late night?"

no respond.

At this moment, Li Siwan had already fainted.

Don’t worry about anything else, saving lives is the most important thing.

Xiahou Su's sharp gaze fell on the man.

Just a glance was like thousands of arrows piercing through.

The man's expression paused, and Xiahou Su turned over, holding Li Siwan, flew onto the galloping horse, and rode away.

The man looked at the disappearing figures of Xiahou Su and Li Siwan. Although there was guilt in his eyes, he still waved his hand.

"Keep chasing!"

He didn't want to hurt her, but he couldn't let her go.

The men in black responded and planned to chase after them.

Wu Yu suddenly appeared from the darkness, holding a sword in his hand and standing in front of the people in black, blocking their way.

The scene was already in chaos, with the crowd scattered. Xiahou Su was already riding his horse, so Wu Yu didn't need to do anything. In just a moment, he had disappeared.

Wu Yu didn't intend to take action. Seeing Xiahou Su leave, he turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

The man frowned, "Keep looking, but remember, don't hurt her again."

"Yes."

On the other side, Xiahou Su and Li Siwan were heading towards the west of the city.

"Wanwan, nothing will happen to you. I won't let anything happen to you."

Xiahou Su looked at the shocking blood on Li Siwan's body and found it increasingly difficult to breathe.

Xiahou Su held the reins tightly and kept speeding up the horse, but he also hugged Li Siwan tightly to reduce the bumps for her.

He never thought that this would be the case when he saw Wanwan again.

In just a few days, she became like this.

If he had been a step later...

Xiahou Su didn't dare to think about it.

When they arrived at the courtyard in the west of the city, Wu Yu had already called for the doctor to come back.

Xiahou Su anxiously put Li Siwan on the bed and asked the doctor to examine him. Only after confirming that there was nothing serious did he breathe a sigh of relief.

After the doctor left, Xiahou Su sat down beside the bed, reached out and held Li Siwan's hand tightly, his eyes red with guilt and heartache.

"It's all my fault. That day, the emperor suddenly asked me a question, but I didn't have the chance to tell you, so I secretly proposed to cancel the engagement. If it weren't for that, you wouldn't have left without saying goodbye, and you wouldn't have been hurt!"

"Wanwan, now that I'm well again, I won't let you go again. I will never let you leave my side again."

"Evening..."

Every word Xiahou Su said was full of tenderness, but it was a pity that Li Siwan couldn't hear a word.

Xiahou Su stayed with her just like this, waiting for Wu Yu to come back from outside, then he gently covered Li Siwan with a quilt and walked out.

"Checked it out?"

"Yes, the group that injured Madam Young Master were not from Nanji, but from Dongxiao."

"From Dongxiao?"

"Yes, and their master is not simple either. He is the current young state master of Dongxiao State, Cheng Yufeng."

"It's him?"

Cheng Yufeng, Xiahou Su knew something about this person.

The son of the current national teacher, he has been extremely talented since childhood, and his scheming is unfathomable.

Although he is young, he has surpassed his master and is now the most trusted person by the King of Dongxiao.

The two countries are at peace, so what are they doing in Nanji?

And why is Wanwan involved?

Xiahou Su was puzzled.

"Can you find out what happened to Wanwan?"

"It seems to be just a coincidence. According to Xiu'er, the young lady saw injustice and stole the man's treasures. Among these treasures, there happened to be one that was stolen from Cheng Yufeng a few days ago. It seems to be very important."

"No matter how important it is, you shouldn't hurt her!"

Xiahou Su's expression was gloomy and his breath was even more sharp.

"Make some arrangements to get back what Wanwan has suffered."

"But young marquis, will it affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries if we are so hostile?"

"If we don't know who the other party is, why does it matter to the diplomatic relations between the two countries?"

There was a cunning look in Xiahou Su's eyes, and Wu Yu reacted immediately.

"I'll do it right now!"

The two were talking excitedly but didn't notice that Li Siwan had opened his eyes in the room.

She was lying on the bed, looking through the gap in the window, and just happened to see Xiahou Su's back.

The moment she opened her eyes, Li Siwan admitted that she was surprised.

After leaving Kyoto, she thought about Xiahou Su all the time.

Now that he suddenly appeared by her side, especially when she was at her most vulnerable, she was naturally happy.

However, besides the joy, there is also a lot of melancholy.

It wasn't because of his breaking off the engagement, but because of her being attracted to him.

The current situation is really embarrassing.

Perhaps he came to her for help as a friend.

But she couldn't just treat him as a friend.

So how should I face him?

Now that he's here, it's impossible for me to leave on my own, but I don't want to get entangled with him...

When Xiahou Su turned around, an idea suddenly flashed through Li Siwan's mind.

She supported herself on the corner of the bed with one hand and tried to sit up, but she couldn't help but groan because of the pain from the wound on her shoulder.

"hiss……"

After hearing the sound, Xiahou Su, who was outside the door, pushed the door open and walked in.

"Wanwan, are you awake? How do you feel now? There is still a wound on your shoulder, don't move!"

Xiahou Su said this and reached out to support Li Siwan.

Li Siwan looked at Xiahou Su, pretending to have a confused and unfamiliar look in his eyes.

Then he frowned and withdrew his hand that was being held.

"May I ask, Master?"

what?
