C12 Sentencing

Nian Qingci suppressed the panic in her heart and hugged Si Junling's leg without letting go.

However, before she could say anything, a sharp blade attacked her from behind. Her clothes had been cut by the sharp sword Qi, and her instinct for survival made Nian Qingci turn around.

The wheelchair that led Si Junling to sit turned in a circle.

The assassin's sharp blade hacked straight towards Si Junling's back.

Si Junling quickly dodged, but due to the fact that he was dragging Nian Qingci, he slightly hindered Si Junling's movements.

The sharp blade sliced open his shoulder, and the sound of flesh breaking apart drifted to Nian Qingci's ears.

Warm blood splattered all over her face.

"Your Highness!" Guan Zhong's screams immediately exploded.

There were countless Shadow Guard hiding in the darkness. Seeing that Si Junling was injured, they quickly suppressed the black-clothed man.

The leading Shadow Guard immediately kneeled down and begged for forgiveness, "This subordinate came late to save you, and was willing to accept the punishment."

"Who is it?" Si Junling's tone was very calm and he didn't seem angry at all.

However, the atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly froze.

Especially when Si Junling's indifferent gaze landed on her face.

Nian Qingci immediately let go of his arms.

A trace of fear subconsciously flashed through his heart, and he couldn't help but take a small step back.

Standing in front of this man, she actually had a feeling that she was completely seen through.

"Yes, Your Highness. It's the people under the crown prince." When Shadow Guard said this, it was unknown if he did it on purpose or not, but his gaze actually turned towards Nian Qingci's direction.

It was this glance that made Nian Qingci quickly regain her senses.

He acted like he was frightened and hurried behind Si Junling.

Nian Qingci subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief when she couldn't see his eyes.

Tears welled up in his eyes as he said, "Your Highness, you're injured, how about I help you bandage it up …"

The voice was clear and pleasant, and seemed somewhat pitiful.

with this face...

Guan Zhong, who was on the side, couldn't help but take a glance out of the corner of his eye, but he was still a bit shocked.

"No need." However, Si Junling refused. He raised his hand and put it on Nian Qingci's shoulder, covering her right hand in his palm.

Nian Qingci felt a burning sensation on the back of her hand, causing her to unconsciously shrink back.

The man's palm was rough and harsh, extremely different from the man's impeccable appearance.

Si Junling didn't seem to be using much strength, but Nian Qingci couldn't get rid of him.

What was this man trying to do?

"Wangfei, tell us, how should we deal with these people?"

Hearing this, the entire yard instantly quieted down.

The quieter it was, the stronger the pressure.

Nian Qingci looked down suspiciously for a moment.

He was the master of the manor, yet he had come to ask her how she was going to deal with these assassins?

Nian Qingci's thoughts spun a few times before she chose the safest answer. "To barge into the Prince's Mansion and hurt his highness, that is a crime punishable by death."

"Is that so?" Si Junling asked back lightly.

What kind of reaction was this?

Si Junling and the crown prince did not get along with each other, as these people were people of the crown prince.

Nian Qingci couldn't make up her mind and could only say, "Of course."

"Take him away." This order was given by Si Junling to his men.

Once the Shadow Guard and the butler received the order, everything in the courtyard was quickly cleaned up.

It was impossible to tell that there had been a bloody battle here.

With the help of the moonlight, Nian Qingci could vaguely see the injuries on Si Junling's back. After thinking for a moment, she gathered up her courage and pushed the wheelchair in the direction of the bridal chamber.

"Your Highness, I have medicine in my room, I'll help you bandage your wound."

Si Junling remained silent. Nian Qingci thought that he had tacitly agreed.

She wanted to live comfortably in this Third Prince's Mansion, and occupy a seat that belonged to her.

He had to please the man in front of him.
