She was suddenly knocked unconscious over there last night, around this time...
Recalling the scene in the woodshed yesterday, Su Liuye's fingertips felt slightly cold, and fear welled up from the bottom of her heart.
If Chu Yan hadn't arrived in time, she might really have been burned to death.
"Aliu, what's wrong with you?"
Sensing her distraction, Chu Yan raised his eyes and asked.
Su Liuye shook her head, "It's nothing, I just remembered what happened last night."
Those people could follow her all the way from the capital to Pingyang Town, and even run into the house to catch her. Who knows what they might do next?
Chu Yan followed her gaze and looked out. When he saw the direction she was looking in, his face darkened slightly.
He put the chopsticks in his hand and held her hand, "It's okay, I will be here with you these days. While you are resting, Mr. Xiao has promised to go back to the capital to help you investigate the matter. Don't worry, I believe Xiao Your Excellency will investigate it soon."
"Really?"
Hearing Chu Yan say this, Su Liuye finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She came here this time to ask Xiao Yun for help. Xiao Yun was related to the Fifth Prince's Mansion. With his help, he might be able to handle the matter, or at least make the Fifth Princess less arrogant.
After the meal, it was already snowing heavily outside, and the biting cold wind blew through the window, scraping against my face like a knife blade.
Su Liuye quickly closed the window and took a look at the yard outside. Snow had already covered the ground. She deliberately looked up in the direction of the back door. Not sure if it was an illusion, but there seemed to be a person standing over there.
It's just that the sky was too dark and Su Liuye couldn't see clearly.
Just seeing that figure, Su Liuye felt numb and quickly closed the window.
"Husband!" She held Chu Yan's hand, "There seems to be someone outside!"
"where?"
Chu Xing's eyes flashed sharply, and he quickly walked to the window and looked toward the back door.
There was nothing over there but darkness.
Chu Yan asked Su Liuye to wait in the room. He walked over quickly and saw shoe prints on the snow-covered ground.
The snow just fell tonight, and no one else was passing by outside. It seemed like someone must have just passed by here. The shoe prints on the snow were very neat, which proved that the visitor was very familiar with the area. After entering the house, he came straight here.
The yard where Su Liuye lives is actually several yards away from the back door, but there is only one avenue here. The several yards in front are occupied by miners. They rest directly after returning from the mines and do not run around at all. The kitchen is not here.
From this point of view, this person came for Su Liuye.
Thinking that these people were so bold, Chu Yan lowered his face. After returning to the room, he closed the door and said, "A Liu, your isolation room should be tidied up. I will sleep next to you tonight. If there is anything you remember, notice me."
"Outside...is there really anyone outside?"
Su Liuye bit her lip lightly, thinking she had seen it wrong.
Those people are still staring at her!
If the guess is correct, these people should be the secret guards sent by the fifth princess. The secret guard was ruthless and would not give her a chance to resist when he attacked.
"Yes." Chu Yan didn't intend to hide it. Since the target of these people was Su Liuye, they naturally wanted her to know. "There are many shoe prints over there, they were all just stepped on. It started to snow in the evening, and it just started snowing. It's someone passing by outside that leaves shoe prints."
Su Liuye understood what he meant, and couldn't help but pull Chu Yan's clothes with her hands, her voice was slightly hoarse, "Husband, can you stay with me tonight? I'm afraid..." She looked at the person in front of her timidly. .
The dim candlelight in the room swayed beside her, reflecting on her fair face, and her eyes were full of water.
Chu Yan's Adam's apple slid and he felt a burst of heat.
He and Su Liuye hadn't seen each other for a long time. Although they were husband and wife, they still had no close contact.
The wing room prepared for Su Liuye was the same as the other wing rooms. They were all occupied by one person. The dim candlelight swayed in the room, giving off an ambiguous atmosphere. Chu Yan pursed his lower lip. Through his clothes, he seemed to be able to feel the warmth in Su Liuye's palm, and the soft touch rippled in his heart.
He glanced at the bed over there, feeling even hotter.
Because it was just a residence under the mine, the furnishings in the house were very simple. There was no other furniture in the room except a bed and a dining table and chairs.
If he stayed to sleep with Su Liuye, he would have to sleep with Su Liuye.
Sensing Chu Yan's eyes, Su Liuye immediately realized what she had just said, and her face suddenly became hot. She immediately let go of her hand, "Husband, I, I..."
"Okay, I'll stay with you."
Chu Yan felt guilty towards Su Liuye, and felt a little pain in his heart when he saw her like this.
He had brought Su Liuye to the capital for so long, but he didn't even have time to stay with her for a day. Thinking of this, Chu Yan felt even more guilty.
He went outside and brought hot water for Su Liuye to wash up. Before closing the door, he glanced towards the back door. He didn't see anyone. He didn't know if the person who did it was afraid to do it because he saw other people around.
After a simple wash, Chu Yan put a cover on the candle, and the light in the room suddenly became dim.
He put down the curtain on the bed and turned around to see Su Liuye sitting next to him, with two blushes on her fair cheeks.
Realizing that Chu Yan was looking at her, Su Liuye raised her eyes and looked at him quietly, then quickly lowered her head.
Because the curtain on the bed was closed, the surrounding space became narrow, and she seemed to be able to feel Chu Yan's masculine aura floating around.
She didn't dare to think too much, and hurriedly opened the quilt and lay down, looking at the people beside her uncontrollably from the corner of her eye.
Chu Yan's expression did not change. After putting down all the curtains, he also lifted up the quilt and lay down. As he moved, the undershirt he wore became loose, exposing the muscles on his chest.
Su Liuye swallowed, her heartbeat quickened, and she felt that the quilt covering her body was extremely hot.
As the man lay down, the distance between them was so close that there was only a palm difference. Su Liuye could touch the man's strong arm with the slightest movement.
There were two quilts on the bed. Su Liuye shrank into the bed, not daring to look at Chu Yan.
Seeing her little movement, Chu Yan swallowed again and tensed his body without moving.
But despite this, he still smelled the faint fragrance in the air, which was exclusive to Su Liuye.
He turned over and forced himself to sleep.
At this moment, the woman sleeping inside suddenly took the initiative to move towards him, her soft and delicate body pressed against his tight back.
"A Liu?"
Chu Yan was frightened, and it was the first time that Su Liuye came so proactively.
