Suddenly, as if a strong wind was blowing, the apricot branches in the forest were knocked to and fro, and the petals all over the sky were scattered randomly. Yan Ling suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Be careful!" Before Yan Ling could react, Liang He had already stood up and pulled Yan Ling behind him.
Although Yan Ling felt vaguely that something was wrong, he still hadn't figured out what happened? However, Yan Ling is not stupid enough to stick his head out to check now.
Then, the sound of swords clashing suddenly made Yan Ling wake up, and he couldn't help but clenched his hands nervously.
Yan Ling originally thought that after Yan Shuang realized that she liked His Highness the Crown Prince, she would not worry about being alone with His Highness, so she would bring the third prince to disrupt the situation. But he didn't expect to encounter a group of assassins.
Could it be that the third prince is planning to do it again and save the beauty once again? Yan Ling had some random thoughts, and it seemed that he was less nervous this way.
"Are you scared?" After a while, the voice gradually subsided, and Liang He turned around and asked Yan Ling.
"It's okay. How are you, Your Highness?" Yan Ling shook his head and looked around. The ground had been cleaned up. Apart from some fallen branches and leaves, there was basically nothing visible.
"It's okay. Since yesterday's incident, I have strengthened my guard. Unexpectedly, something that was originally nipped in the bud actually happened." Liang He saw that Yan Ling's face looked a little ugly, so he stretched out his hand and gently kissed her. Patted her on the back.
On the way back, Yan Ling's expression wasn't very good either. Liang He, on the other hand, suddenly seemed to remember something.
"Could the guests that Miss Yan mentioned just now refer to those assassins?" Liang He frowned. This man looked straight at Yan Ling with a sharp gaze.
Yan Ling was complaining in her heart. She originally thought that Yan Shuang and Liang Yi would follow, but she never expected that a group of assassins would suddenly appear. Yan Ling was not expecting this situation now.
"Your Highness, Miss is not that kind of person. Those assassins must have nothing to do with Miss." Qing'er suddenly knelt on the ground and said hurriedly.
As soon as these words came out, the other three people in the carriage looked a little ugly. Originally, according to Qing'er's status, it was impossible to stay here. However, just now Yan Ling was really frightened. After Liang He's consent, he called Li Yi over, and unexpectedly Qing'er also followed him.
At this time, Qing'er's words seemed to be defending Yan Ling on the surface, but no matter who looked at them, they would probably regard these words as an excuse for a guilty conscience. In fact, it was tantamount to convicting Yan Ling.
Yan Ling subconsciously raised his head to look at Liang He, but found that the man's eyes were not looking at him at all, but at Qing'er who was kneeling on the ground with a gloomy expression.
Yan Ling saw a sneer appear on the corner of Liang He's mouth, and the majesty of his body was released without concealment, and he said in a cold tone: "When did I say that I doubted your young lady? Even if I don't trust others, Ling Er, I can rest assured." Very."
This was the first time that Yan Ling heard the word "Ling'er" from Liang He since his rebirth. This sense of trust that seemed to be from another life turned out to be so familiar. It seems that no matter when and where, Liang He will be very relieved about himself.
Yan Ling suddenly lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Liang He's face, but he had betrayed this trust! Now facing Liang He again, Yan Ling couldn't help but want to escape.
"Slave, this is not what I mean, this is just what I mean." Qing'er didn't expect that Liang He would behave like this. Her face turned pale for a moment, and she was so frightened that she was speechless.
"Shut up! I'm talking to your master, when will it be your turn to interrupt?" Liang He seemed to be really angry this time.
Logically speaking, Liang He had no need to take care of Yan Ling's maid, and she could easily be regarded as a nuisance to her master. But for some reason, Liang He felt a little angry in his heart when he saw Yan Ling lowering his head.
"Your Highness, please calm down. It's because of your lax discipline that I bumped into His Highness. Please atone for your sins." Yan Ling could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb. He stood up and was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Liang He. Stop it.
"You know, I didn't mean that." Liang He softened his expression and looked at Yan Ling seriously.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Yan Ling actually felt that there was some grievance hidden in Liang He's words just now.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has spoken harshly, and I cannot bear this." Yan Ling lowered his head and answered calmly, with a touch of alienation in his tone.
In his previous life, Yan Ling worked as a spy beside Liang He. In this life, in order to avoid Liang Yi, he borrowed his name again.
No matter what the purpose was, it could be regarded as taking advantage of Liang He. Yan Ling suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she couldn't breathe.
Liang He was a little unable to accept Yan Ling's sudden change, but looking at Yan Ling's somewhat ugly expression, he did not continue to ask any more questions. He just sighed quietly, feeling a little sad.
"I invited Ling'er twice, but he was assassinated both times. I take it seriously."
Before Liang He finished speaking, Yan Ling felt worried and interrupted: "Your Highness the Crown Prince! It's my bad luck, how can I blame His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Why did Ling'er talk about himself like that?" Liang He frowned. Neither of them noticed that something had changed.
"What? Are both of you okay? Who asked you to do something in front of the prince!" In a secret room, Liang Yi, dressed in white, pointed angrily at the people below. His face was twisted with anger, and he was not as noble as usual. appearance.
Of course, Liang Yi would not be so stupid as to come to save the beauty for the second time. This time, he was really murderous. Although, in the end, he just planned to seriously injure Yan Ling and teach her a lesson.
But I never expected that the people sent would actually take action directly in front of Liang He. As a prince, Liang He is surrounded by guards. Do I need to say more about him? If Liang He hadn't been worried about falling into the trap of "driving the tiger away from the mountain", I'm afraid none of these people would be able to come back!
At night, Yan Ling leaned on the bed wearing a snow-white coat and drank the soothing soup sent by Li Yi.
After a while, Li Yi saw that Yan Ling was still in a daze, and said worriedly: "Don't worry, Miss, have a good sleep to recuperate your spirits. Just be careful to prevent such things in the future."
Yan Ling seemed to be stunned, and then answered the question, "Li Yi, what do you mean when you say His Highness the Crown Prince is like this?"
Li Yi did not expect that this was what Yan Ling was troubled about. He covered his lips and said with a smile: "So the young lady is thinking about this. In my opinion, it is a good thing that His Highness the Crown Prince trusts the Young Lady so much. Moreover, Your Highness the Crown Prince"
Yan Ling listened carefully at first, but in the end he just felt that Li Yi seemed to have a talent as a matchmaker. His face turned dark and he tapped Li Yi's forehead speechlessly.
"Miss, what should we do with Qing'er?" Li Yi suddenly became serious, with a little anger in his eyes.
Mentioning this name, a coldness flashed in Yan Ling's eyes.
