Chapter 152 Xie Yu, You Fool

Xie Yu fell on top of her, and Shen Nanzi saw several sharp arrows pass through Xie Yu's back from his shoulder.

Her gaze shifted into the forest, where she saw several masked men drawing their bows and arrows, preparing to fire again.

Upon meeting a pair of familiar eyes, Shen Nanzi's eyes trembled violently.

At the same time, Qinghe had already drawn the soft sword from her waist, and with a flourish of her sword, she cut down two swords, which fell to the ground.

Shen Nanzi exclaimed in surprise, frantically stroking his back. She only breathed a sigh of relief after finding a flat surface.

"Xie Yu, are you insane? You are a prince, how can you save me?"

At this moment, it was clearly not the right time, but Shen Nanzi had to say that she was worried he would risk his own safety to save her again.

At that instant, a second wave of arrows struck.

Shen Nanzi rolled over, trying to pin Xie Yu down and shield him beneath her.

However, he seemed to know what she was thinking, and remained motionless while holding her body.

Fortunately, Xie Yu's guards arrived at that moment and joined the battle.

Together with Qinghe, they once again blocked the incoming rain of arrows.

Shen Nanzi knew that someone was trying to kill them.

The two of them looked up at the same time, surveying their surroundings.

This is a path at the foot of the mountain, next to farmland, but the crops have already been harvested and the autumn seeds have not yet been planted.

At this moment, the fields are like an open sheet of white paper, stretching as far as the eye can see, yet there is nowhere to hide.

And since the arrow was fired into the mountains and forests, there was even less chance of hiding.

This path isn't far; you can see from one end to the other.

At this point, they were in the middle of the line, and the best course of action was to turn back to the tents, where there were more guards.

The archers were positioned at the front; retreating was their best option.

Their eyes met, and they knew they shared the same thoughts.

No sooner said than done, Xie Yu climbed off Shen Nanzi, then bent down and hugged her, and Shen Nanzi was in his arms.

Qinghe and the other two guards stood with their backs to them, blocking their way.

"Hold me tight," he commanded sternly in Shen Nanzi's ear.

At this point, the situation was critical, and whether they could leave alive was a question.

Shen Nanzi did not struggle, and even abandoned her concerns about the strict separation between men and women.

Place your hands behind his back, trying to protect his heart and lungs.

Hold him tightly so he can retreat.

Shen Nanzi's enthusiastic cooperation warmed Xie Yu's heart.

There were only two hundred feet ahead; he was sure he could protect her and get her away.

However, the next moment, Xie Yu's pupils dilated, and Shen Nanzi also sensed the whistling sound that was breaking through the air.

Shen Nanzi wanted to jump down, but it was too late to protect Xie Yu.

Her body spun around, and her direction changed instantly.

Xie Yu once again shielded her against his chest.

Upon hearing the dull thud of the arrow piercing flesh, Shen Nanzi's eyes widened in shock as she looked up at Xie Yu.

He looked down at her, smiling as if nothing was wrong.

However, his smile was replaced by pain, and a crimson tinge appeared in his eyes.

Shen Nanzi hurriedly called out, "Qinghe, there are assassins here too."

Qinghe immediately turned around and stood protectively on their other side.

She struggled to get down, but her hands still dared not leave his back.

She stood on tiptoe, her chin over his shoulder, her eyes lowered.

What he saw next was horrifying, and his heart trembled. He had been shot three times in the thigh.

An arrow also struck him just an inch below his palm.

Tears welled up in Shen Nanzi's eyes instantly, and her voice was shrill, "Xie Yu, are you stupid?"

Xie Yu looked at her without saying a word, his eyes fixed on her face, a smile of no regret on his lips.

"Isn't it only right that I protect you? You've saved me twice."

Now is not the time to settle this score.

Shen Nanzi had lost her mind and was so panicked that she didn't know which wound to heal first.

Every wound looked as if it was bleeding, and the bloodstains were especially noticeable on his light blue robes.

It felt like a thousand arrows piercing her chest; she choked back tears as she called out his name, "Xie Yu!"

When Xie Yan received the news and arrived with the Imperial Guards, he witnessed this scene.

Shen Nanzi and Xie Yu embraced each other, her arms tightly around him, her eyes red, calling out Xie Yu's name with deep affection.

Xie Yan endured the suffocation in his chest, waved his hand, and sent hundreds of imperial guards behind him heading into the mountains.

The crisis was quickly resolved.

Shen Nanzi's eyes were bloodshot, and she held Xie Yu tightly, not daring to let go.

He seemed to be in so much pain that he could barely stand, and his body leaned against her.

This prince, who was treated like royalty, only drank in his spare time. When he was drunk, he would lie down, and when he woke up, he would be merry.

Raising birds and playing with cats, free from any constraints of power and desire, living a carefree and unrestrained life, when have they ever suffered such hardship?

Shen Nanzi hated the undercurrents behind this power, which caused a living person to suffer this calamity.

Xie Yan coldly observed this scene and gave orders to Xie Yu's two guards:

"Come here quickly and take the Sixth Prince back to the camp for treatment."

Hearing Xie Yan's voice, Shen Nanzi raised her head and stared at him with hatred in her eyes.

As she felt a lightness in her body, she pulled out the gold hairpin from her hair and rushed over, with an unwavering resolve.

It plunged deeply into Xie Yan's chest.

Dissatisfied that it wasn't deep enough, he pushed it in a little further with force.

Xie Yan took a deep breath, his lips twitching with pain, and looked down at her tightly clenched hand.

Between his palms, a gold hairpin sank into his crimson robe.

The location is the heart area.

Xie Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking about what had just happened.

It was as if Xie Yu was her man.

Ultimately, she sided with Xie Yu and regarded him as an enemy.

We must put him to death.

He looked at her, then wrapped his arms around her waist, his eyes red with tears. "Hate me? Want to kill me?"

Shen Nanzi has lost her mind because her brother was arrested and Xie Yu was assassinated.

Gritting his teeth, wishing he could tear the person in front of him to pieces, he said, "Xie Yan, don't pretend to be innocent."

"Only you know about my brother's affairs. If you didn't inform on him, who else could it be?"

"And these men in black, they were also sent by you."

Xie Yan: "No, these men in black have nothing to do with me."

Shen Nanzi looked behind him and asked, "Where is your bodyguard, Wuying?"

"Isn't he always by your side? Where is he now?"

Xie Yan's eyes trembled slightly.

Shen Nanzi stared into his eyes, tightening her grip, her lips and eyelashes trembling. "He's among the men in black you sent."

Xie Yan was startled and tightened his grip on her arm. "I will give you an explanation. Now, come back to the camp with me."

Shen Nanzi glared at him, "I don't need your reasons, I want you dead!"

After saying that, she gripped the hairpin with both hands and forcefully plunged it into her heart.

“With your death, the world will be at peace, and the throne will belong to Xie Yu.”

"Go to hell and ask King Yama for what you want!"

Shen Nanzi's hairpin pierced inward a little further, and Xie Yan's face twitched with pain.

He endured a tearing pain in his chest, not just the pain of flesh and blood, but also the pain inflicted by Shen Nanzi.
