C18 There Was No Other Way

Yue Qing slowly opened her eyes and bent over to pick up the wooden stick. She said in a low voice, "Shuangyao did something. She saved an assassin from the prison. It seems that the assassin has a special relationship with her."

The Crown Princess' tightly closed eyelashes moved slightly, and her throat moved slightly.

"Benefactor, this way please."

Yue Qing stood up and turned around to walk towards the small monk.

The Crown Prince's Mansion.

"How is it?" Once the Crown Princess returned to the palace, the Crown Prince impatiently waved his hand and chased her out. He anxiously looked at the Crown Princess and asked.

The Crown Princess unhurriedly flipped through the paper and smiled, "Your Highness, Bodhisattva said that I will have a son." Her fair hand gently opened the tightly clenched fist of the Crown Prince and placed it on his palm.

Hearing this, the Crown Prince thought for a moment and nodded.

The Crown Princess' smile deepened as she told the Crown Prince about Yue Qing's situation in detail.

Southern Pacifying King's Mansion.

"Eat. Not bad." Shuangyao walked in with a plate of food. She glanced at Lin Mo's shoulder and saw that the wounds had gradually healed.

Lin Mo tidied up his clothes. His face was expressionless, and his ears were red. "Thank you for saving my life, Miss. If it wasn't for you, my corpse would have already been buried in the Unmarked Common Graves. I don't even know how I should repay you for saving my life …"

"Give me the heart blood."

Lin Mo was stunned when he heard this. He then pulled open his clothes and closed his eyes. "Alright, come on."

Shuangyao could not help but giggle, "I am not in a hurry to take your heart blood. Wait until you are completely recovered before you give it to me." She turned around and walked out the door. She covered her chest with her hands and kneeled on the ground, groaning in pain.

"What's wrong?" Lin Mo heard a dull sound and looked up. Shuangyao bit her lower lip tightly and groaned in pain. She walked a few steps and was about to touch Shuangyao with her hands when she retracted her hands. She hurriedly circled around Shuangyao, but she was powerless.

After a long time, Shuangyao's pain faded away. Her tightly knitted eyebrows gradually relaxed. She lay on the ground tiredly and panted. She closed her eyes and the sweat on her forehead slowly dripped down and disappeared into her hair.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. It's just an old illness."

In the next few days, Lin Mo saw Shuangyao flare up a few times.

On this day, Lin Mo healed his wounds and asked Shuangyao to take the heart blood. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Did you get poisoned? Tell me what kind of poison it is. I'll find the antidote for you." Apart from the pain, Lin Mo also found that Shuangyao did not need to eat.

Looking at the dishes that she cooked every day, Lin Mo knew that Shuangyao had given him her food.

Shuangyao's hand paused for a moment. An inexplicable emotion appeared on her expressionless face. She quickly hid it. "No, let's go."

Lin Mo hesitated for a moment before he walked out. A strong fragrance came over and the pungent smell made him cover his nose. "Don't you think the smell here is too strong?"

Hearing that, Shuangyao sniffed and found nothing. Suddenly, she remembered her own physique and her eyes turned cold. Her tone was also a bit cold.

"It has nothing to do with you. Hurry up and leave."

Just as the two of them thought that everything was going smoothly, a group of men in black came out of nowhere. When they saw them, they pulled out their swords without saying a word.

"Who are you?"

The two of them fought with them, but before they could figure out their goal, hurried footsteps came from behind them. Those men in black quickly took off as if they had never appeared.

Shuangyao and Lin Mo looked at each other and looked at the people who came with vigilance.

Jun Liye walked over step by step with a bone-chilling coldness in his eyes. His gaze was slightly focused as he coldly looked at Shuangyao and then Lin Mo.

"Full of lies."

Shuangyao turned her body to the side and blocked Lin Mo's figure. She sneered in her heart and said indifferently, "So what if you are full of lies? The prince still needs me, a liar!" Her eyes flashed with a cold light, without any fear.

"Take down the assassin."

Jun Liye ignored Shuangyao's existence and waved his hand.

Shuangyao held her sword against her slender neck. "Your Highness, did the former princess not want this second medicine?" She thought that she understood Jun Liye. Once she said that, it would definitely be as she wished.

Sure enough, Jun Liye fiercely pinched the sword and gritted his teeth as he said, "Stand down and let him go! Don't let me know that you lied to me, otherwise …"

He stared at Shuangyao with a cold light flashing in his eyes. His fierce tone did not cause Shuangyao to waver.

"Miss, why don't you follow me?" Lin Mo also saw that Jun Liye did not dare to hurt Shuangyao, so he asked in a low voice.

Shuangyao's eyes never left Jun Liye's body. The hatred in her eyes caused Lin Mo to be stunned for a moment. He gradually matched her with the woman in his memories.

He suddenly widened his eyes and placed his hand on her shoulder. "I know who you are. You must follow me."

Shuangyao tilted her head in surprise. From Lin Mo's expression, she could tell that he had indeed recognized her. She shook her head and said, "There are some things that I don't want to do myself. It is meaningless for me to live."

Lin Mo followed her gaze and looked at Jun Liye. He pursed his lips in pain. He knew Shuangyao's character. "Is there no other way?"

"There's no other way. You can leave. If you leave, don't come back."

Lin Mo gritted her teeth and turned around to leave. She also said, "I will come back and save you."

Such arrogant words made Jun Liye unhappy. "I won't be lenient next time. Where is the second medicine?"

Before Shuangyao could speak, Yue Qing rushed over and nervously pulled Jun Liye's arm. "Prince, why did you let them go so easily? Isn't it better to cut the weeds and get rid of the roots? Otherwise, the spring wind will grow again."

Jun Liye fiercely shook off Yue Qing's hand and glared at Yue Qing with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

Yue Qing bit her lower lip and turned to look at Shuangyao, "Who knows if the Saintess is colluding with the assassins. If they are here for your military token, then it will be dangerous."

Shuangyao gently put down the sword in her hand and took out a handkerchief to carefully wipe the blood on her neck. She seemed to not feel any pain as she said with great force, "Mrs. Qing seems to have forgotten the pain after the scar is healed. She still dares to provoke this Saintess. Is she tired of living?"

As she spoke, she threw away the handkerchief and lightly stepped forward. In a flash, she appeared behind Yue Qing and grabbed her neck. Shuangyao leaned down and said in Yue Qing's trembling ears, "Do you want me to help you recall?"

Yue Qing shook her head nonstop as she looked at Jun Liye with a hint of desire.

"Shuangyao!"

When Shuangyao heard the familiar voice, the corner of her mouth curled up as she looked at Jun Liye mockingly, "Since you care about her so much, why do you still..."
