After Shi Manzi heard that Su Jingqian was injured, her almond-shaped eyes widened instantly, and she looked at Luo Huaizhou in shock, "Mr. Su is injured?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Manzi turned to look at Lin Wanwan again, with a hint of worry in her eyes. She originally wanted to say a few words of comfort, but when she saw Lin Wanwan's serious expression, she knew that any words she said were feeble at this moment, so she swallowed her words back in an instant.

I saw Lin Wanwan's fingertips paused for a moment, and the bright light in her starry eyes became colder inch by inch, leaving only a chill and chill, "Who hurt him?"

Her voice was exceptionally clear, like the first snowfall of frost. Even though Luo Huaizhou lowered his head, he could still feel the awe-inspiring killing intent emanating from her body, as if as long as he said a name, she would immediately find that person, and then He shot the man to death without hesitation.

"Yuewan..." Shi Manzi had never seen Lin Wanwan like this before. The candlelight and skylight intertwined on her body, half-bright and half-ambiguous. The cold eyes reflected the dancing candlelight, but it seemed to have been tempered by ice. This kind of aura that comes out naturally is like an ancient god that can dominate all things with a wave of his hand.

Shi Manzi opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to speak. She was a little shocked and a little nervous, but more importantly, she was worried. She subconsciously held Lin Wanwan's hand, as if comforting, but also worried.

Luo Huaizhou was stunned for a moment, a little surprised by the intimidating aura around Lin Wanwan, but she didn't think much about it, only assuming that she became like this after hearing the news that Su Jingqian was injured.

"Xiao Yuewan, I'm sorry! I..." Luo Huaizhou pinched his palms tightly, took a deep breath, and then plucked up the courage to slowly raise his eyes, his eyes full of regret and guilt.

"I don't know who hurt Jing Qian. It was so chaotic at the time... I only remember that the thieves covered my eyes with black cloth, blocked my mouth, and locked me in a room. , and threatened me that as long as I obeyed, he would not take my life. Later, I heard the sound of fighting outside, and heard the guards in my house questioning the group of thieves about my whereabouts, so I banged the house hard I was looking for something inside, hoping to attract their attention. Sure enough, someone soon broke in, and it was Jing Qian who rescued me from danger. It was only then that I knew that I had been kidnapped into the village by bandits. inside."

Luo Huaizhou's eyes gradually turned red, and his dusty eyelashes were blinking slightly, as if he was immersed in memories. He softly recounted what he saw and heard at that time, but the guilt in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

"There were a lot of bandits outside at that time. They had weapons in their hands and surrounded us fiercely. They threatened to make us never return. Later I found out that it was Jing Qian who led his men to break into the mountain stronghold and killed us. They killed their brothers and completely angered them. Fortunately, Jing Qian also brought a few martial arts masters. They fought fiercely with the bandits for a long time, and finally worked together to fight a bloody path, which helped me and the guards in the mansion escape from the tight siege. . Jing Qian protected me along the road, but the wind and snow were too strong and the sky was too dark. I was only focused on running away, and I didn’t notice that he had actually blocked several swords for me in secret. When I reacted, he His robe has been cut with several cuts, and blood is still oozing from it..."

Speaking of this, Luo Huaizhou's gloomy eyes were filled with water mist, and the bright red bloody mouths on Su Jingqian's body appeared in his mind. Against the background of his cold jade white skin, they looked extremely dazzling, as if The red lotuses blooming under the ice and snow are dazzling but eye-catching.

"It's all my fault. If I knew martial arts, I wouldn't have dragged Jing Qian down to this..."

Luo Huaizhou gritted his back teeth and tried his best to suppress the sobs in his throat. His clear voice couldn't help but be a little hoarse, "When Jing Qian escorted me to the carriage, he suddenly vomited a large mouthful of blood, and then I fainted. I was so anxious that I wanted to rush back to the palace immediately to let the imperial doctor treat Jing Qian, but it was snowing and windy outside, and the mountain road was difficult to travel. We were delayed on the mountain for a while before going down. Fortunately, Jing Qian took him with him. There was a hero among the people who knew some medical skills. He gave Jing Qian a pill and injected a few needles. When we entered the city, Jing Qian finally woke up. I originally wanted to place him in I asked the imperial doctor to treat his injuries, but he said that you were summoned into the palace by my mother. I am afraid that my mother will be angry with you because of my kidnapping, so I should go into the palace immediately and escort you out of the palace. "

After Luo Huaizhou finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes to cover the pain in his eyes. The self-blame and guilt deep in his heart tortured him repeatedly, making it difficult for him to let go.

If it wasn't for saving him, why would Jing Qian be so seriously injured? If it weren't for him, the queen mother would not have summoned Xiao Yue Wan into the palace, and Jing Qian would not be so concerned about it. He would rather hold on to his seriously injured body than see Xiao Yue Wan in good health with his own eyes.

Everything happened because of him, and he was ashamed of them...

Thinking of this, Luo Huaizhou sat down slumped and covered his face with his hands. He didn't even dare to think about Lin Wanwan's expression at this moment... Was it resentment, anger, or disappointment? Even though there are thousands of words surging in my heart, in the end they can only turn into a weak apology.

Shi Manzi had never seen Luo Huaizhou in such pain. In her impression, Prince Lu had always been cynical, but when he treated his friends, he was so sincere.

Shi Manzi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes fell on the dark red blood stains between Luo Huaizhou's fingers. Her heart seemed to have been squeezed hard, and an unspeakable sour feeling lingered in her heart. She opened her mouth and tried to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

After listening to Luo Huaizhou's statement, Lin Wanwan frowned slightly, her expression changed several times, and several complex colors that were difficult to identify passed through the depths of her pupils. Gradually, everything seemed to calm down again. There was only a hint of contemplation in her eyes, like mist, so thick that it almost swallowed her up.

From Luo Huaizhou's description, she could roughly guess that the so-called "master of martial arts" in his mouth should be someone from Tianshu Pavilion, and the hero who has some knowledge of medical skills is probably Zi Heng. . Zi Heng is not only proficient in medical skills, but also has a unique skill in disguise. He has been with Su Jin for many years, but he rarely shows his original appearance to others. Even she only saw him once by chance. It's not surprising that Luo Huaizhou couldn't recognize him. But what she couldn't figure out was that since they were here, how could Su Jin be so seriously injured?

She still remembered that when she was in Beiluo School, her uncle once said that Su Jin's talent in martial arts was no worse than Rong Sui's. If he was willing to study hard, he would definitely be able to outshine others with his wisdom. After so many years of separation, she originally thought that Su Jin had been busy with government affairs and had no time to practice martial arts. It wasn't until that day when she saw Su Jin taking action in the street that she realized that Su Jin's martial arts skills were not inferior to those of Zi Shu and Zi Yu. Therefore, since there are masters from Tianshu Pavilion in charge, and Su Jin's martial arts are far beyond those of ordinary people in the martial arts world, no matter how many bandits there are in the village, they will not cause Su Jin to be seriously injured, vomit blood, or even fall into coma.

Vomiting blood...coma...these two words kept passing through Lin Wanwan's mind.

Suddenly, her eyes froze, as if she realized something. Scenes of the past gradually appeared in front of her eyes, like a white lightning, exploding in her mind, splitting the thick fog, and illuminating the world.
