Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 306 Searching for the Assassin

After applying medicine to Zhu Jinyou, Zhu Jinyou asked Yan Xuan to go out, but insisted on keeping Luo Yu with him.

Luo Yu was helpless. After all, he had saved her life several times. This time he was just repaying her and they would owe each other nothing in the future.

Zhu Jinyou was lying on his stomach, shirtless. Fortunately, the room wasn't cold. Luo Yu looked at the shirtless man sprawled on the couch, his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and muscular figure swaying before his eyes. He felt it was particularly annoying and insisted on finding a quilt to cover him.

Zhu Jinyou tilted his head and followed her movement with his peripheral vision.

Seeing her coming over with a quilt in her arms, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Aren't you afraid of pressing on my wound?"

Luo Yu put the quilt away, found a stick from somewhere, and smiled slyly: "It's okay, I'll use this stick to support you, so I won't crush you."

Zhu Jinyou said aggrievedly: "Well, you have to stay with me tonight. Don't let the quilt press on my wound, it will hurt."

Luo Yu held his forehead with his hand: "Sister, even when I was stabbed and chopped, I wasn't as pretentious as you... By the way, I've experienced several different kinds of death, so what you're doing is nothing..."

There's nothing I can do. I owe him a big favor...

Luo Yu looked at the quilt she had made into a yurt, then looked at His Royal Highness Prince Ning lying underneath, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After thinking about it, he went to find a cashmere blanket to cover his uninjured and bare back so that he would not catch a cold.

"What were you laughing at?"

"It's so funny!"

When Zhu Jinyou wasn't being sarcastic, he was always teasing: "Are you afraid that seeing my slender body might give you some bad ideas?"

Luo Yu rolled his eyes at him.

"Could you please not be so confident? Do you want me to show you in a mirror how ridiculous you look right now? You look just like a hibernating bear lying at the entrance of a cave!"

"Then you can be a mother bear. Why don't you come in and lie down with me?"

"Now I just want to be a bear keeper."

The two of them teased each other.

Suddenly, Luo Yu lowered his voice and asked, "Have you guessed who the man in black is tonight?"

"Miss Luo Yu guessed who it was, so I'll guess who it was too!"

Luo Yu was too lazy to talk to him.

"Well, why did he want to kill you, but why did he also want to kill me?"

Luo Yu felt that he was implicated by Zhu Jinyou.

Zhu Jinyou smiled softly, not knowing whether she really didn't know or wanted him to tell her the reason himself.

"Don't blame me. Don't you have any doubts about what you've done along the way?"

Luo Yu pretended to be confused and asked, "What am I questioning?"

"In my eyes, you are more than just someone who knows animal language. Furthermore, the appearance of the dragon in a place like this makes me suspect that it has something to do with you."

In fact, apart from witnessing the disappearance of the white object after Luo Yu appeared, no one else could connect these events. However, Eunuch Yao was the most trusted person around the emperor, so he naturally had to be more cautious to prevent any accidents. Even if there was no evidence that could connect the dots, he would not let it go easily...

Luo Yu said "oh" and asked Zhu Jinyou: "Do you also think it has something to do with me?"

"I don't care who it's related to. Anyway, that dragon is fake, right?"

Luo Yu thought to himself, "Fuck!" a thousand times.

If the man in front of him was not more than ten years younger than the current emperor, the throne would definitely not be his, right?

"It seems I guessed right! You guys really do have a lot of secrets that I don't know."

Luo Yu sighed softly and said aggrievedly, "So, you want to start with me because you want to get some information about us, right?"

Zhu Jinyou: ...

She used her own trick against him again. No matter what he said, she would not believe his sincerity, even though she didn't know how much of his sincerity was mixed with his own selfish motives...

An incense stick later, Eunuch Yao came over personally with his men. It seemed someone had already informed him of the incident...

Yan Xuan shouted from outside the house: "Imperial City Division Yan Xuan greets Chief Envoy Yao!"

Zhu Jinyou immediately grabbed Luo Yu, who was sitting on the bedside eating melon seeds, and placed her hand on the pillow, playing with it carefully...

Luo Yu: Are you taking advantage of me?

Eunuch Yao pushed the door open and entered, his face anxious, "We heard that His Highness was wounded by an assassin, so we rushed here. I wonder if His Highness is seriously injured?"

Zhu Jinyou snorted.

"You're a little slow in your rush. If I had waited for Master Yao to come and save him, I'm afraid he would have bled out before you arrived!"

Luo Yu couldn't help but smile. This man was indeed the same sarcastic Prince Ning.

Zhu Jinyou noticed the smile on her lips and took the opportunity to grab her hand and rub it on his cheek.

"Luckily, Miss Luo Yu came to save me and applied medicine and bandaged my wounds. She is such a virtuous and good girl, and I like her very much."

Luo Yu grinned and tried to pull his hand out, but he was held tightly by the man. He didn't look like someone who had been wounded by a sword.

Eunuch Yao felt annoyed when he saw the two people shamelessly showing affection beside him, but he couldn't show his impatience to their faces.

"Your Highness, calm down. We live far away and didn't hear anything. We also went to bed early these nights, so when we heard about this, we were already asleep..."

"Oh, then whoever woke up Chief Envoy Yao will definitely get a few lashes! How about Chief Envoy Yao bring the person over here and apply some medicine?"

If I remember correctly, when Zhu Jinyou was stabbed by the sword, he stabbed a man in black in the right arm with a dart.

"Our family has never used violence against our subordinates. Your Highness, you are worrying too much."

"Oh, so no one of you will get hurt?"

Eunuch Yao: What does this mean? Could someone have been injured and not informed?

Luo Yu smiled softly, staring at Eunuch Yao and saying, "When the assassins appeared in my yard, I was really scared. Fortunately, I made a special powder and secretly sprinkled it on the assassins. Except for dogs and wolves who can smell it, ordinary people can't detect any smell at all."

Zhu Jinyou was quite curious and asked, "Oh, so magical? Then if I take a shower and change clothes, won't I be able to smell the smell anymore?"

Luo Yu continued, "That's not necessarily true. This smell will become ingrained in your body if it stays on you for just a few minutes. Even if you shower, wash your hair, and change clothes, it will still linger on you for a month."

"Miss Luo Yu is truly amazing. I really like you even more!"

Zhu Jinyou tilted his head and looked at her, his eyes tinged with a faint smile, like the hot flames of a furnace, eager to melt the sharp ice on the winter lake surface. The burning was so hot that the rising smoke swirled around and filled the air, making it ambiguous.

Luo Yu was frightened by the smoke: Shut your stinky mouth!

Eunuch Yao heard this and thought, could it be that they have already suspected him?

If they really investigate further, they will definitely find those people. It seems that when they go back later, they can only let those people hide in the mountains and forests and not show up.

Seeing that Eunuch Yao wanted to leave, Luo Yu took the opportunity to say, "Master Yao, I sincerely want to return to the imperial city with you, but now that His Highness is injured, and he saved my life, I cannot abandon him..."

Zhu Jinyou held her hand tightly and murmured, "Luo Yu, I am even more worried about you going to the Imperial City alone. I will go with you..."

Eunuch Yao certainly understood what they meant.

"We understand. We will set off again after His Highness has fully recovered!"

Luo Yu smiled knowingly and nodded in gratitude.

"Thank you, Master Yao, you are such a good person!"

When Eunuch Yao heard this, he praised him as a good person? Wasn't this obviously a mockery of him?

It seems that this lying Miss Luo Yu and the sinister Prince Ning are a perfect match!

When I return to Beijing, I will definitely report them to the emperor.

Wait for Eunuch Yao to leave.

Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief and tried to pull his hand away again.

Indifferent.

Luo Yu said angrily, "Is it comfortable to hold? Do you want me to use my hand as a cushion for you to sleep?"

"When Miss Luo Yu was injured, she slept on my shoulder. I used my hands to protect you all night long."

Luo Yu frowned. How could he, a prince, be so petty?

"You've forgotten how many meals I cooked for you. If you keep counting like this, you have to pay me back."

"I hunted, I washed the pots and pans, I cleaned the food..."

"Okay, okay, don't forget it. I can lend you a hand, right?"

If he continued talking, Luo Yu felt that he would not be able to sleep that night.

I can't believe that a grown man like Zhu Jinyou would become so fussy after falling in love.

Luo Yu thought about this and her mind moved. Falling in love? Did she really think she was in love with Zhu Jinyou?

However, apart from not having any actual physical relationship, the two of them had all the ambiguity that a couple should have. They can't just be coy and deny it, right?

Why not just talk about it? Anyway, no one stipulates that you have to get married or be together if you are in love. Who cares about it from the ancient times? Even the emperor wants to kill her. Isn't it crazy that she still cares about these broken rules?

Zhu Jinyou saw her sitting hunched over in the chair at the head of the bed with her eyes rolling around, looking just like a cute little fox with evil thoughts in mind.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking, how about we have a relationship? Don't be so ambiguous, it's too uncomfortable."

"What does it mean to be in love?" An unknown smile appeared on Zhu Jinyou's lips.

"It's like Xia Liang and Yan Xuan." Luo Yu put his face close to his pillow, took advantage of his hesitation to pull out a hand to support his chin, and said with a sly smile, facing his tilted head, "Your Highness, do you like me a little? I also have a good impression of you. Why don't we have a relationship and see if it's suitable for us? What do you say?"

"Do you really like me too?"

Is this person obedient but not paying attention to the key points?
