As soon as Xiao Yan came to the back garden, he saw the murderous Luo Yao, squeezing Liu Yinyin's neck. Liu Yinyin's feet were off the ground, crying and struggling with his limbs.
His face turned blue and white, as if he was about to die.
Just as he was about to speak out to stop Luo Yao, he saw Luo Yao's wrist move.
As a martial arts practitioner, he instantly understood Luo Yao's action. She was planning to break Liu Yinyin's neck.
She really had murderous intentions!
But before he could make any move, Mudan shot a small arrow at Luo Yao, interrupting Luo Yao's previous action.
Luo Yao looked at her bleeding arm from the arrow, then looked at Mudan, "I really underestimated you."
Mudan holds a pocket crossbow in her hand. This kind of pocket crossbow is complicated in workmanship and difficult for ordinary people to obtain.
Because Liu Yinyin's father was a deputy general, Liu Yinyin found some connections to get this kind of pocket crossbow for self-defense.
It's said to be for self-defense, but actually it's for defense against Luo Yao.
The action just now was interrupted, but Luo Yao still had no intention of letting go of Liu Yinyin, and instead pinched Liu Yinyin's neck tighter.
Xiao Yan walked slowly outside the small pavilion, his cold gaze always falling on Luo Yao, "Luo Yao, what are you going to do? Let her go quickly."
Luo Yao was already angry with Xiao Yan for giving the wooden box to Liu Yinyin, but now she saw him and became even more angry.
Her eyes were full of anger, and she asked Xiao Yan angrily: "Where is the box my mother left?"
Xiao Yan was speechless for a moment.
"Where did you put the box?" Luo Yao asked again.
Xiao Yan lowered his eyes slightly and did not answer her.
"You gave the box to Liu Yinyin, right?"
Xiao Yan did not deny it, but moved his lips, "Yinyin is just curious, and I just borrowed it to play with for a few days. Why do you have such a big reaction?"
"fart!"
Luo Yao couldn't help but curse.
Xiao Yan frowned in displeasure, "Why do you always have to embarrass Yinyin?"
"Am I making things difficult for her?"
Luo Yao was completely irritated by his words. She pinched Liu Yinyin's neck with a little more force.
As soon as she exerted force on her hand, the arm with the small arrow stuck in it began to bleed, and her feet soon turned red.
Even though her arm hurt like this, she had no intention of letting go of Liu Yinyin. This scene made Xiao Yan frown even more tightly.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Xiao Yan asked, raising his voice.
"I want her dead!"
"Luo Yao, don't challenge this king's patience."
Liu Yinyin took a deep breath and called out to Xiao Yan for help, "Li...Brother Wang, help me quickly!"
"She deserves to die!" Luo Yao gritted her teeth.
The two failed to reach an agreement, Xiao Yan gave Wuhen a wink, and they rushed to Luo Yao at the same time, one grabbed Luo Yao, and the other took the opportunity to save Liu Yinyin.
Xiao Yan grabbed Luo Yao's arm and just pulled her away when Wuhen took the opportunity to save Liu Yinyin.
Not willing to let Liu Yinyin be rescued like this, she saw Mudan approaching from the corner of her eye. She snatched the pocket crossbow from Mudan's hand and pointed the crossbow at Liu Yinyin.
Whoosh——
A small arrow flew straight towards Liu Yinyin's chest.
Xiao Yan was the first to react and subconsciously reached out to catch the small arrow. The small arrow passed through his palm and continued to fly forward, piercing Liu Yinyin's chest without hesitation.
Liu Yinyin felt a sharp pain in her chest, and then she fainted.
Xiao Yan let go of Luo Yao, rushed to Liu Yinyin's side, and caught Liu Yinyin who was about to fall.
"Yinyin!"
At this moment, what flashed through Xiao Yan's mind was the scene of Vice General Liu's death.
Vice General Liu had already died for him, and he could not let anything happen to Liu Yinyin again.
He picked up Liu Yinyin who was hit by an arrow and left directly to find Dr. Zhou.
Before leaving, he did not forget to give an order in a cold voice: "Take the princess back to the courtyard and guard her at all times."
"yes."
Luo Yao couldn't help but look back at the pile of ashes, and said silently in her heart: Mom, I'm sorry that I couldn't save your things, but I also didn't let go of the people who destroyed your things.
Luo Yao returned to the courtyard from the small pavilion, the blood in her arms kept flowing.
Wuhen sent her back to her room and stayed outside the door.
Bi Tao noticed the movement in the courtyard and hurriedly came to the door of Luo Yao's room. Just as she was about to go in, she was stopped by Wuhen at the door.
"The prince has an order, no one can enter."
"Why?" Bitao asked.
"The prince said you can't enter, so you can't enter."
Seeing Wuhen's firm attitude, Bi Tao didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Luo Yao sat down in the room, stared at the arm where she was hit by the arrow, and laughed at herself: "Fortunately, it only hurt the arm, not the vital part."
Last time she treated the wounds of Xiao Yan and Xiaoxue, she kept some unused wound medicine here, and now it finally comes in handy.
There were no extra tools in the house, and no one could help her. She could only find a towel and bite it in her mouth. She forced the pain to pull the small arrow out of her arm, and then applied medicine to her arm.
After all, there is a lot of inconvenience in self-medicating.
She worked for an hour before finally treating the wound.
She leaned against the table, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and breathed in the fresh air.
At this time, she heard Bitao's voice coming from outside the house.
"Why is there so much blood in the courtyard? Is something wrong with the princess?"
Wuhen said expressionlessly: "You can't enter the house."
"The princess is like this, and you still don't let me in. Do you want to kill the princess?" Bitao asked confidently.
Indifferent and indifferent.
He is Xiao Yan's man, so naturally he will only listen to Xiao Yan's arrangements.
Bi Tao glared angrily at Wuhen, "You..."
"Bitao."
Hearing the sound coming from the house, Bi Tao was overjoyed and answered, "Princess, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me, just take good care of Xiaoxue."
Bitao sniffed, her eyes quickly turned red, and she stared at the blood on the ground.
"You are like this and you still care about Xiaoxue."
Luo Yao smiled, "I'm really fine."
"The bloodstains in the courtyard are..."
"I'll explain it to you later!" She interrupted Bitao's next words.
Bi Tao felt a little relieved when she heard that her voice was full of energy and didn't sound like something was wrong.
Bitao wanted to ask what happened, but was driven away by Wuhen, "No one can come near this place without the prince's order. You should leave quickly!"
"snort……"
Bi Tao glared at Wuhen again, and shouted to Luo Yao in the room: "Princess, my slave is in the courtyard. If anything happens to you, just call my slave."
"knew."
Luo Yao was imprisoned until night, but she still didn't see Xiao Yan. She was a little disappointed.
If Xiao Yan doesn't come, it means Liu Yinyin is not dead yet.
After eating a few pieces of pastries to fill her stomach, she saw that it was getting very late, so she planned to go to bed and rest.
She is injured now, and taking good care of herself is the most important thing.
As soon as he lay down, the door was kicked open from outside.
She sat up in shock and saw Xiao Yan walking in...
