Chapter 295 Protecting the country for her (14)

Author: Qi Yao

But this does not affect Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao hugged the tree trunk tightly and closed her eyes, as if she could gain infinite power in this way.

Just like when I was in heaven, I found my own little world.

To be honest, since she came to this plane, her heart has always been tense, and it seems that she has never relaxed.

She had no clue how to save her life or how to complete the mission.

Every day, she not only had to battle wits and courage with the Prime Minister, but also tried every means to make Nie Chi relax his vigilance towards her.

It's really too difficult.

Yuan Yao felt a little depressed.

Xiao Shuanzi stood behind her, watching her actions, and asked with some worry, "Your Majesty... what's wrong with you?"

"..."

Yuan Yao opened her eyes.

She let go of the tree, took a few steps back, shook her head, "It's okay, go back."

After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the side room.

After walking only a few steps, a person suddenly ran over not far away.

Yuan Yao recognized that this was Nie Chi's attendant, and was about to ask him what happened, but he hurriedly spoke first, "Your Majesty, the prince was assassinated near the fish pond!"

"What?"

Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became anxious, "Why was he suddenly assassinated? Is the emperor injured? Where is the assassin?"

The attendant lowered his head and replied, "The assassin was not caught. The prince's hand was chopped off with a knife. He is currently in the back room."

Yuan Yao frowned slightly and followed him to the side room where Nie Chi was. He turned around and told Xiao Shuanzi, "Quickly go down the mountain and ask a doctor to come over and show the emperor a look. And hurry up and send someone to catch the assassin."

"No need."

The door of the wing at the end of the corridor was suddenly pushed open.

Nie Chi walked out of it.

His whole body was the same as when he came here, except that the sleeve of his left arm was scratched. You could vaguely see the cut on his arm, which was still bleeding and stained his sleeve with large patches of bright red.

of blood.

But the expression on his face was also cold, as if the assassination had no impact on him.

"The assassin has long since escaped. Your Majesty, there is no need to waste your efforts."

Yuan Yao was shocked by the blood stains on his body.

Before she could even react, she ran forward quickly and subconsciously wanted to hold his hand and check.

But Nie Chi dodged it easily.

Her hands were hanging in the air.

But he seemed not to notice, and just said lightly, "Your Majesty, you are dirty."

Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment, raised his hands and looked at it.

It's white and delicate, not even a trace of dust on it.

So she raised her head and looked at Nie Chi again, "Uncle Emperor, I just washed my hands after applying incense. They are not dirty."

Nie Chi paused for a moment, and his eyes fell on her hands involuntarily, with an unclear look in his eyes.

Yuan Yao didn't expect that he would be so disgusted with her touching him, so she gave up and continued to say worriedly, "Uncle Huang, you'd better go to a doctor to treat the wound quickly. If this continues, the wound will become infected."

Nie Chi's eyes moved away from her hands and fell on her face, as if he wanted to explore something, "Your Majesty, are you worried about me?"

Yuan Yao nodded.

She blamed herself so much that her eyes started to turn red and her voice trembled a little, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have forced you to come out. In fact, even if you didn't come out with me, the Imperial Master and the others must have become suspicious. Instead, they returned the favor today."
