Seeing the completely crushing killing scene in front of him, Guangtuan's heart collapsed.
Although this can't be considered too much interference in the plot, you have almost finished half of the original killers. How are you going to assassinate the fourth prince later?
After taking a few deep breaths, it spoke silently.
"No, you have merit points before, and these are not good people either."
After receiving the answer, the little girl blinked and acted even more carelessly. After quickly finishing the target, she shook off the sword in her hand. Thinking that this belonged to her younger brother, she put it aside without disgust and only stepped forward to place it on the corpse's clothes. Wiped.
In the end, I still felt it wasn't clean enough, so I just ran to the river with my sword in hand.
When Huo Lichi came back after capturing the victims alive, he could only see a pile of corpses lying in various directions, and blood spreading on the ground that had no time to penetrate into the ground.
His body suddenly froze on the spot, and even the fingers holding the sword unconsciously tightened. The fingertips were so hard that they turned slightly white, and he stepped forward to search one by one.
The man in black, who originally wanted to struggle a little, stopped talking unconsciously when he saw his appearance, and finally passed out without being able to hold back the effects of the medicine.
After searching the spot, Huo Lichi breathed a sigh of relief, followed the blood trail to the river, and then couldn't help but push the person into his arms.
Gardenia only felt her vision change for a moment, and then her nose bumped into the other person's. Tears of pain came to her eyes and her voice was muffled.
"What's wrong?"
The young man didn't say anything, he just held her silently. After a while, he let go and carefully wiped her tears.
Although he knew that the little girl was not as harmless as she seemed, her heartbeat stopped when she saw no one. It would be better to keep her away from such things in the future.
Gardenia realized what she was thinking of and gestured to him with the sword in her hand.
"I came here to wash this. It's too dirty."
After speaking, he sighed sadly.
"Fortunately, we finished eating first, otherwise we would have lost our appetite. I also thought about taking some back for them to try."
After listening to her words, Huo Lichi's tense nerves relaxed and his tone was natural.
"You can take it back after you finish it, or leave it to the imperial chef to cook."
Gardenia thought about it, and it seemed to work. Anyway, she was with her younger brother, and she didn't sneak out on her own. She didn't have to worry about being discovered or scolded when she went back, and she even helped!
Thinking about it, I unconsciously puffed up my small chest and expressed a pensive expression.
If there was any difference after that, it was that Huo Lichi suddenly became very clingy, holding hands all the time, and even had to have one hand free when he went back to ride a horse.
The two of them were not on the same horse, so walking side by side was awkward, but every time Gardenia struggled, the boy would look down at him without saying a word, and then the little girl would surrender.
Although she didn't know what irritated him, she generously forgave him for the sake of the skewers just now.
Returning to the palace, she was afraid that he would follow her, so she immediately stopped him after getting off her horse.
"Stop, you still have to go see His Majesty. You can't go back with me. Besides, I have to go back to the yard to change clothes and see Nan Qing."
As he spoke, he looked at him strangely and muttered, "I've never seen you so clingy before."
Huo Lichi pondered for a moment and felt that it was necessary to talk to His Majesty about the wedding. If this continued, Madam would be abducted by Miss Shen.
After handing him the sword and carrying the game he had killed later, Gardena waved to him.
"I'm leaving first. At worst, you can come find me after finishing the matter."
Looking at her back, the young man glanced at the man in black on the ground, casually picked him up and carried him to His Majesty's yard.
