C12 Give me your hand

"Your Highness, perhaps Madam has already returned!" "I'm fine, I'm fine," Brook said as he held a lantern to illuminate the situation within the small boat. However, he didn't see Bei Yunyi's figure, so he couldn't help but speak up.

Qin Lianshuang looked at the calm Lotus Pond again. A layer of frost instantly covered her pretty face.

Don't let him find out that this lowly slave had gone to find a date with the Blue Luan!

Just as Qin Lianshuang was about to leave, the sound of water suddenly came from the lotus pond.

Li Mu immediately lowered his head and pressed it against Bei Yunyi's lips, passing the air in his mouth to Bei Yunyi.

Only then did Bei Yunyi, who was struggling in her embrace, slowly stop. Her tensed body was no longer as tense as before. Instead, it was as soft as water as she leaned on Li Mu's arm.

"Gua Gua!" A frog jumped into the water from the lotus leaf.

Qin Lianshuang withdrew her sharp gaze and quickly left the Lotus Pond.

After the two of them left, Li Mu, who had his eyes tightly shut, opened them. The bright moonlight penetrated the water and entered his pair of eyes that were as thick as ink. It was terrifyingly deep.

In the next second, he coldly pushed Bei Yunyi away.

Once she was out of the water, Bei Yunyi took deep breaths, her face paler than paper due to the intense fear, the wet clothes sticking tightly to her trembling body.

The clear and cold moonlight scattered on her miserable figure, giving her an exceptionally helpless and lonely appearance.

After an unknown period of time, Bei Yunyi's fear gradually calmed down, and her previously blank mind recovered at this moment.

At this moment, her two feet were stepping on the reef and her two hands were gripping the small boat's bed. She was surrounded by silence, and had long since left for who knows where.

Bei Yunyi took several deep breaths, trying her best to climb onto the small boat. However, the fear just now had caused her body to feel weak, and she was completely unable to muster up any strength.

The cool wind blew against her moist body, causing her delicate body to tremble uncontrollably.

Everything was just a matter of wishful thinking. Who would helplessly help her?

She did not tell her to Qin Lianshuang because she knew how valuable she was to Qin Lianshuang. In this way, they would not offend each other.

"Give me your hand." Right at this moment, a slender hand that was still stained with a few drops of water reached out to her. The voice was low and it revealed a faint sense of alienation.

Bei Yunyi raised her gaze. Deimos had already put on his clothes and was half-squatting in front of her.

His entire face was half hidden in the night, and only a rough outline could be seen.

His eyes were still downcast, as if he wanted to cut off all connections with the world.

He was clearly a secret guard beside Qin Lianshuang, but for some reason, even when he was half-crouching in front of her, she could feel a faint sense of majesty and king-like aura flowing through him.

Even though he had carefully hidden it, he could not hide the things that were revealed in his bones no matter how hard he tried.

Was this really the temperament that a dark guard should have?

Her understanding of the 'past' only stopped at the fact that he was Qin Lianshuang's secret guard. It was as if he was a captive that Qin Lianshuang had brought back from the battlefield a year ago.

However, from the looks of it now, this Li Jun's identity was definitely not as simple as being a captive!

It was as if from the moment she was reborn, everything around her had quietly changed!

Bei Yunyi placed her small hand in Qin Lianshuang's palm and was quickly grabbed. With a tug, her soft and powerless body was pulled onto the small boat. "Wuwuwu, wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu …"

The wet clothes stuck to her body like water, outlining her exquisite and soft curves. Under the hazy moonlight, she was as beautiful as a mermaid.

In addition, her summer clothes were thin and light colored. After being immersed in the water, they became transparent, clearly revealing all of her personal clothing.

"You stay here for now, I'll go get you some clean clothes!" From start to finish, his gaze had not landed on Bei Yunyi. After pulling Bei Yunyi onto the shore, he turned to leave.

As a result, Bei Yunyi's legs went soft and she was unable to stand. The moment she let go of him, her body involuntarily fell to the ground.

After pausing for a second, Li Jun still reached out her hand to support Bei Yunyi. Her low and suppressed voice was ice-cold as she asked, "Have you had enough?"

Pretend? He actually felt that her current fear and weakness was all an act?

What good would it do her?

To get his sympathy?

Bei Yunyi raised his gaze to look at Li Mu. His eyebrows were still lowered, and his expression, hidden in the darkness, revealed an ice-cold aura that prevented strangers from entering.

Bei Yunyi used one hand to support the railing of the ship, and the other to push away the door in front of her. She took a step back, and even though she tried to make her voice sound calm, it was still mixed with a slight tremble: "Go, your highness won't be able to find me, you'll still come back later."

She wasn't afraid that Deimos would know that she had been playing dumb all this time. In any case, she already had a hold on him, didn't she?

Li Jun slightly narrowed her eyes and looked at Bei Yunyi's legs. Under the moonlight, both of her legs were weak and her calves were trembling uncontrollably.

She was not acting, but she was truly afraid.

"Why are you playing dumb?" This time, his tone wasn't as cold as before, but it was as usual without any feelings or waves of emotion.

Bei Yunyi caressed the railing as she sat down on the wooden board. The gentle breeze blew against her body that was constantly dripping water. The moist and cool feeling seeped into her pores, causing her to unconsciously hug her body, her back facing away from the water.

"Did you take that crescent-shaped jade?" Bei Yunyi did not answer the last question. His voice was very calm, but the trembling was still lingering in his heart.

At the end of the line, his tall and straight body was dragged along by the moonlight into the lotus pond, giving off a chilly and lonely feeling.

If she didn't say anything, that meant her guess was correct.

"I always thought that it was me who had lost it. I've been thinking about how to explain it to the owner of this jade!" Bei Yunyi's tone was much more relaxed. Other than the wet clothes that stuck to her body feeling cold and uncomfortable, the bone-deep fear had already slowly disappeared from her heart. "But I still have to thank you!"

In his previous life, he saved her, so this' thank you 'wasn't enough.

However, she couldn't help but think that if he hadn't saved her in her previous life and allowed her to drown in the Lotus Pond, then she wouldn't need to become Qin Lianshuang and Princess Blue Luan's medicine in the future. She wouldn't need to die such a miserable death!

Li Jun remained silent for a long while before she finally opened her mouth again: "If you have the chance, you should leave the Jin King's Manor!"

Bei Yunyi couldn't help but let out a slight smile. As expected, Li Mubai and Liushui Zi knew about it.

"Why?" She asked back, knowing the answer.

"Didn't you understand that day when you barged into that place where the princes and princesses met? Your Highness likes the Blue Luan Princess, not you! " He had been by the prince's side for more than a year. He had never asked about the number of people Prince Jin had killed, nor had he felt sympathy for him.

But he moved against her because of her crying child? Because she endured her fear and barged into the hunting grounds to find the jade in the shape of a crescent moon? And it was also because … Her eyes were like his cigarette?

If only he could say these words to her in his last life!

"Thank you for telling me this, but do I have a choice now? "My dad is just an imperial physician from the great hospital!" Bei Yunyi's words revealed a trace of helplessness. The only choice she had was either kill Qin Lianshuang, or make Qin Lianshuang genuinely like her.

It was just a gesture of raising his head, yet it revealed a wordless sense of deterrence. His lightly pursed lips slightly parted: "If you want to live a little longer, don't be tempted by the prince, and don't ever touch the prince's bottom line again!"

That was all he could do. He wouldn't mess up his plans for an unrelated person.

With that, he walked up to the pavilion and prepared to leave.

Bottom line? It referred to the matter where she took Qin Lianshuang's belt on the street and made him feel embarrassed!

Because of what he had experienced when he was young, his heart and self-esteem were extremely sensitive!

Bei Yunyi seemed to have thought of something …

The dark and painful years of his childhood had been caused by the death of his mother's wife and his half-ruined face.

Without his mufei, he had lost the warmth and protection of his childhood. It was normal for other princes to bully him and ostracize him.

Coupled with his ruined face, he not only became a target of ridicule and a monster in the eyes of others, but also an object of disrespect for the Emperor.

After that, it became more and more intense, which was why it made him so sensitive. No one was allowed to mention even a single word about his face.

To him, that half destroyed face was a symbol of humiliation and trampling on his pride!

But what if she cured his half-ruined face so that he would never have to wear that silver mask again?

And then she was compensating for all the warmth and care he had lost since he was young?

The curve of Bei Yunyi's lips couldn't help but deepen.

This was even more direct than using her appearance and gentle personality to make Qin Lianshuang slowly like her.

One was to approach him slowly and then walk into his heart.

The other one started directly from his heart!

Thinking of this, Bei Yunyi immediately turned around to chase after him.

If she wanted to return the warmth and care that he had lost since he was young, she needed to understand in detail everything that had happened to him when he was young …

"Wait a moment, can I beg of you …" In her haste, Bei Yunyi did not even look at her feet. She directly stepped on the hem of her skirt that was dragged along the ground.
