Stranger and Chen in the Palace

Ling Yichen had no choice but to jump out of the carriage with Xue Zimo, and as soon as he got out, another rain of arrows hit him.Ling Yichen quickly raised his sword to block, and the surrounding guards quickly gathered around Ling Yichen and Xue Zimo.

Seeing that the bow and arrow had forced them out of the carriage, the attackers quickly appeared. There were thousands of them, all of them were quite skilled.Although there were two thousand guards on Ling Yichen's side, they were evenly tied with the 1000 guards for a while.

Seeing the situation of the melee, Ling Yichen immediately took Xue Zimo to another direction where there were fewer people. When the leader of the other party saw that Ling Yichen wanted to slip away, he brought a small group of people and went straight to kill Ling Yichen.

"It's finally here." Ling Yichen's eyes flashed.

Xue Zimo was surprised, did he expect that someone would come to assassinate him?Don't allow him to think too much, the leader of the opponent has brought the small team to kill him.

When Ling Yichen saw the number of people, he began to think about it, which was almost as he had expected.Xue Zimo suddenly felt that the leader of the other party looked familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while.

The group of assassins surrounded Ling Yichen as soon as they came up, and all of them made killing moves at him, with a clear and definite target.

As soon as the two sides fought each other, Xue Zimo was shocked to find out that the martial arts of the visitor was so high that he was not under the hidden guard beside Ling Yichen.

However, Feng Lianhuang and the others had already been sent by Ling Yichen to escort the previous batch of assassins, even though the guards around them couldn't spare them at all.Ling Yichen seemed extremely embarrassed dealing with this group of assassins alone. If he hadn't had the Iron-cutting Fixing Sword in his hand, he might have died in the opponent's hands. Xue Zimo was very anxious.

At this time, a cold knife suddenly stabbed Ling Yichen's vest obliquely, and Xue Zimo blocked it with his body without thinking.

Ling Yichen noticed the cold knife stabbing him one step later, he just wanted to dodge sideways, but when he saw Xue Zimo rushing over to protect him, he was shocked and hurriedly took Xue Zimo away.Even so, Xue Zimo was still stabbed in the arm, and the glaring blood immediately stained his white clothes red.

Seeing that he was injured, Ling Yichen became ruthless immediately, ignoring the dozens of swords piercing around him, and pierced through the heart of the man who had cut Xue Zimo just now.

Seeing that Ling Yichen was about to be stabbed by chaotic swords, forty hidden guards including Lian Feng Lianhuang suddenly descended from the sky and blocked the swords stabbing Ling Yichen all around.

Ling Yichen quickly helped Xue Zimo to sit down, tore off the skirt of his clothes, and bandaged his wound.

The white clothes on Xue Zimo's body were stained red in large swaths by the gushing blood, and his face turned pale quickly, probably because of the deep wounds.

Ling Yichen was so anxious that he hugged him tightly: "Mo, how are you?"

"Your Highness..." Xue Zimo called out with difficulty.

Ling Yichen's eyes sharpened, and he ordered Lian Feng and Lian Huang: "Except for the leader, kill everyone!"

Lianhuang glanced at Xue Zimo worriedly, and then threw himself into the melee.

Obtaining Ling Yichen's order to kill, the hidden guards used the most ruthless killing moves. In a short while, most of the opponent's troops fell down. Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader wanted to escape, but was stopped by Lian Feng and his men catch.With the help of the hidden guards, the other guards quickly controlled the opponent's troops.

Xue Zimo's face became paler and paler, and his mind gradually fell into a coma. Ling Yichen hugged him and shouted anxiously: "Go back to the post station, find the doctor—"

As soon as he returned to the post station, the doctor was brought over, Xue Zimo had already passed out, and Ling Yichen was beside him anxiously.

The doctor started to clean Xue Zimo's wound. The wound was still bleeding, but it was smaller than before. Only then did Ling Yichen see how deep the wound was, and his bones were gone. He was so angry that he punched the wall hard.

The doctor was so frightened that his hands shook, Xue Zimo on the bed frowned, Ling Yichen grabbed the doctor's collar, and said viciously: "If you dare to shake your hand again, I will chop it off right away—"

The doctor nodded in fright, with cold sweat on his forehead, and he was even more careful with his hands, for fear that the Third Highness would really cut off his hands.

After applying medicine, the bleeding from the wound was stopped, and the doctor repacked the wound.

At this moment, the person on the bed couldn't even see a trace of blood on their lips. Ling Yichen's heart ached, and he grabbed the doctor's hand and asked nervously, "Is he all right?"

The doctor nodded quickly, and said cautiously: "Reporting to Your Highness, although this son's wound is deep, but fortunately he didn't hurt his bones, his hand will not be seriously injured, but he lost a lot of blood, I'm afraid he needs to take good care of him for a while, and he will have to take care of it in the future." Be careful to raise it."

Ling Yichen felt great resentment when he heard this, and ordered the doctor to decoct the medicine immediately, at any time within twelve hours.

Since then, Xue Zimo has been in a coma, and Ling Yichen has been guarding beside him non-stop. It was not until the third morning that Xue Zimo woke up. He opened his eyes weakly and saw that Ling Yichen was holding his other uninjured hand and kneeling on the ground. Beside fell asleep.

After guarding for two days and two nights, Ling Yichen looked haggard, and even stubble had grown out.Xue Zimo moved his hands, wanting to touch Ling Yichen's face.After just a little movement, Ling Yichen's whole body trembled, and suddenly found that the person on the bed had woken up, and said pleasantly, "Mo, you're awake, how do you feel?"

Xue Zimo smiled weakly at him, indicating that he was fine.

Seeing that his face was pale and he didn't even have the strength to speak, Ling Yichen felt distressed: "Wait, I'll call the doctor." Then he called the doctor in, and the doctor took Xue Zimo's pulse and nodded.

"How?" Ling Yichen asked nervously.

The doctor nodded again: "Your Highness, this young master is fine, but he has lost too much blood and his body is a little weak, so he needs to recuperate. In addition, remember not to use force on the injured hand, and don't touch the water, otherwise it will be troublesome if the wound opens again. .”

Ling Yichen nodded again and again: "I will pay attention."

After sending the doctor away, Ling Yichen asked someone to bring another bowl of porridge. He carefully lifted Xue Zimo up and let him lean in his arms. Even though his movements were very gentle, Xue Zimo still frowned involuntarily.

Ling Yichen looked at his uncomfortable expression, his eyes were slightly red, and he fed Xue Zimo porridge in small bites.Xue Zimo only drank half a bowl and stopped drinking. Ling Yichen gave him a few mouthfuls of medicine before helping him to lie down again.

After eating something, Xue Zimo felt that he had gained some strength. Seeing that Ling Yichen was still guarding him and refused to leave, he said softly, "Go and rest for a while."

"I'm right here, you can sleep a little longer." Ling Yichen said stubbornly.

Xue Zimo really felt that his whole body was extremely weak and his head was groggy. He really didn't have the strength to persuade him anymore, so he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.Ling Yichen knelt gently by the bed, held his hand and fell asleep...

When Xue Zimo woke up again, he found that Ling Yichen was looking at him without blinking: "How long have I been asleep?"

"Not counting before, a little more than eight hours." Ling Yichen said softly.

Xue Zimo struggled to remember, Ling Yichen was shocked, quickly supported him, and said anxiously: "The doctor said, you can't use your hands hard, just say what you want."

Xue Zimo thought for a while: "I'm a little hungry."

Ling Yichen was very relieved when he heard that: "I'll ask someone to bring you food right away." He said and ordered the people outside the door to bring porridge.

Xue Zimo smiled, Ling Yichen helped him into his arms, carefully avoiding his wounds, wrapped his arms around him and said, "Wait a minute, I'll be here soon."

Xue Zimo sat up and saw that there was an extra bed in his room. He looked at Ling Yichen puzzled: "Why is there an extra bed?"

"From today onwards, I will take care of you every step of the way." Ling Yichen said.

Xue Zimo thought that the two of them would live in the same room, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Ling Yichen said first: "If you think this bed is in the way, we can also share the same bed."

Xue Zimo looked at him for a long time before sighing: "Let's keep it!"

Ling Yichen smiled smugly.

The porridge and medicine were delivered in a short while, and Ling Yichen said distressedly while feeding, "Is the wound painful?"

Xue Zimo nodded: "Well, a little bit."

"A little?" Ling Yichen frowned, obviously not believing it.

Seeing this, Xue Zimo smiled, and suddenly remembered the assassination, and asked, "Who are those people, you knew they would come?"

Mentioning this matter, Ling Yichen's eyes darkened: "It's the people sent by Ling Yihong. I knew it was him since they assassinated at the station. Those people were just tools he used to blame Ling Yihao. Wait for me Send the assassin back to the imperial capital, and then send the second batch of real killers to kill me halfway. Once I die, Ling Yihao will be the most suspected, he wants to kill two birds with one stone!"

Xue Zimo was puzzled: "But how did King Yu know that you would definitely send someone to send the assassin back overnight?"

Ling Yichen said: "Actually, it's the same whether to send or not to send. I deliberately distracted Lianfeng Lianhuang and the others, so that the other party would relax their guard, and I could lure them to show up, so as to obtain evidence of Ling Yihong's corruption."

Xue Zimo remembered that the leader was very familiar, and asked, "Who is the leader?"

"Huang Zaizhong." Ling Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xue Zimo was stunned, no wonder he felt so familiar: "The people he leads are all very high in martial arts, I don't think they will be much worse than Lian Feng Lian Huang and the others."

Ling Yichen's eyes were cold: "In order to kill me, Ling Yihong even sent out all the hidden guards around him. Xiao Ye reminded me a long time ago, that's fine, now I have cut off all the hidden guards around him."

Xue Zimo sighed: "Do you know how dangerous it was at that time, if Lian Feng and the others arrived a little later, you would really die."

Ling Yichen recalled the scene at that time again. In fact, everything was in his expectation, but Xue Zimo was injured for him, which was beyond his expectation. If he hadn't taken Xue Zimo away at a critical moment, he might have died at the hands of that person.

Thinking of this, Ling Yichen felt very scared, and at the same time hated himself for being incompetent, even if he stayed by Xue Zimo's side, he still couldn't protect him well, first Xiao Zheng threatened him, and then this matter.Ling Yichen secretly swore in his heart that he would definitely win this battle for the throne, and only by standing at the highest place could he protect the person he cared about the most.

Seeing that his expression was not very good, Xue Zimo thought he was too tired, so he said, "Go to sleep for a while, I'm much better already."

Ling Yichen held his hand tightly, looked into his eyes and said firmly, "Mo, I won't let you get hurt again!"

Xue Zimo lowered his eyes and smiled, and said for a while: "I believe you—"
