I just want to live a good life

Su Nuan followed Mu Yunting all the way to the pond. The guards from the Prince's Mansion had already surrounded the place, and Tracer was also there.

A body that had been deformed by being soaked in water lay beside the pool.

Su Nuan felt nauseous when she saw the unrecognizable face. She unconsciously leaned towards Mu Yunting and suppressed her dry retching by smelling the faint scent of plants.

"Can you confirm your identity?" Mu Yunting asked Tracer.

Tracer replied: "There is Lord Ye Yin's token in his arms, it must be Lord Ye Yin without a doubt."

"Has the identity of those assassins not been found out yet?" Mu Yunting's voice was already filled with anger.

"I am incompetent and have no clues about those people."

Mu Yunting frowned and said nothing.

Tracer asked carefully, "Your Highness, what should we do with Lord Ye Yin's body?"

"A rich burial."

When Su Nuan followed Mu Yunting away, she could clearly feel that Mu Yunting's footsteps were heavy, and he was obviously sad about Ye Yin's death.

The two of them came to the carriage. Su Nuan wanted to persuade them, but she didn't know where to start. In fact, when she thought about it, she didn't know much about Ye Yin. She only knew that he was the leader of the secret guards and was very skilled in martial arts, but she didn't know what kind of relationship he had with Mu Yunting.

After thinking for a while, she asked, "Ye Yin...how long has he been following you?"

Mu Yunting sighed and replied, "It's been ten years."

"I didn't feel anything when he was around, but I actually felt a little uncomfortable when he was not around." Mu Yunting said self-deprecatingly.

After ten years of companionship, even if he usually stays in the dark at night, it feels different to have someone accompany you like this. Su Nuan seemed to understand Mu Yunting's sadness when she thought about it, and her mood became more and more depressed.

"I don't know when Ye Yin will come back." Mu Yunting murmured softly.

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't be able to hear clearly what he said, but Su Nuan heard it clearly, and she looked at Mu Yunting in surprise.

But at this moment, Su Nuan was attracted by another voice. She had heard this voice not long ago. If it weren't for Ying Shu, it would have almost cost her life.

Like a conditioned reflex, she wanted to grab Mu Yunting's hand and dodge to the side, but Mu Yunting was faster than her and dodged to the side before her.

The fatal voice flew past Su Nuan's ears. She was stunned for a moment, looking at Mu Yunting who had abandoned her in disbelief.

At this time, the person who shot the arrow did not give the two a chance to breathe. The second arrow had arrived and flew straight towards Mu Yunting.

At this moment, a scream of pain came from behind a rock not far away, and then someone walked out from behind the rock, dragging an immobile person towards Mu Yunting.

This person was Ye Yin who had disappeared for a long time.

Without having to think too much, Su Nuan could guess that Ye Yin's disappearance before was a setup, but what was his purpose? Was it the half-dead person he was holding in his hand?

But what concerned her more was the fact that Mu Yunting had just fled without caring about her life or death. For a moment, Su Nuan felt very bitter in her heart.

Then, a whistling sound attracted her attention. Four men in black rushed towards Mu Yunting from four directions. The weapons in their hands flashed terrifyingly in the sunlight.

At the same time, a rain of arrows shot towards them, separating Mu Yunting from the four men in black. Following the rain of arrows came the soldiers in armor.

In just a short while, the four men in black were surrounded by the swarming soldiers. The two sides quickly fought each other, and the sound of weapons clashing was endless.

"Brother, we've fallen into a trap. Let's retreat."

"It's too late, go catch Xia Qingyan."

The voices of the two were drowned out by the sound of fighting, and the people around them did not notice, but Su Nuan heard it clearly. She looked at the two people who were talking in astonishment, and saw that one of them was helping the other to fend off the besieging soldiers, while the other was running towards her.

Su Nuan didn't think twice and turned around and ran towards Ye Yin. The man in black looked ferocious and ferocious. She subconsciously thought that Ye Yin was the only one who could protect her at this time.

Ye Yin seemed to have noticed the black-clad man's intention. He quickly dropped the man in his hand and stretched out his arms to protect Su Nuan behind him.

The man in black didn't expect Su Nuan to move so quickly. Not only did he miss, but he also faced Ye Yin.

“Ye Yin, you can even resort to such a despicable method as pretending to be dead. It seems that you are not that great.” The man in black said viciously.

Before Ye Yin could reply, Su Nuan spoke up from behind him: "You even plotted against a woman like me, and you still have the nerve to call others mean. Do you have any shame?"

The man in black looked at Su Nuan with a ferocious look: "You are such a lucky woman. I don't believe you can be so lucky every time. Even if we die together today, I will kill you!"

Su Nuan asked, "What grudge do I have against you? Why do you keep holding on to me?"

"Hmph, I won't waste my time talking to you. Give me your life!" The man in black shouted and swung a long sword towards Su Nuan.

Su Nuan was so scared that she quickly hid behind Ye Yin.

Ye Yin would not let the black-clothed man hurt Su Nuan. He dealt with the black-clothed man's long sword with his bare hands and was not at a disadvantage at all. Even if Su Nuan did not know martial arts, he could see that he would not be in any danger.

However, it was not easy for her to hide behind Ye Yin. She had to watch the fight while paying attention to the movements of the other three men in black, fearing that another one would show up and take her life.

Fortunately, the armored soldiers who surrounded them were all very powerful and suppressed the three men in black.

The battle only lasted for a while before the winner was decided. Three of the four men in black died and one was injured, and the injured one has been subdued.

The living man in black was exactly the one who had just ordered the arrest of Su Nuan, and the "big brother" in the eyes of these people in black.

"My Lady Concubine, the assassin is dead, you have to let me go." Ye Yin turned and said to Su Nuan.

Su Nuan looked down and saw that her hands were still tightly grasping the hem of Ye Yin's clothes, and the clothes were wrinkled by her.

She quickly let go of her hand and coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment.

After being freed from his restraints, Ye Yin quickly walked towards the subdued man in black. Su Nuan also quickly followed him. She wanted to know who had been trying to kill Xia Qingyan.

"Ye Yin, have someone send Concubine Xia back first."

A cold voice came from behind. Su Nuan did not look back because she did not want to pay attention to Mu Yunting or listen to him. So when Ye Yin made a gesture of invitation to her, she pretended not to see it and took a few quick steps to the man in black.

But just as she was about to ask the man in black, Mu Yunting grabbed her arm with his big hand and said, "Didn't you hear what I said? Go back first."

Afterwards, Mu Yunting picked up Su Nuan and threw her to the guards behind him without saying a word.
