Chapter 1184: Chapter 1180: Zi Wei, It Must Be You!
Su Yingxue pointed at the body on the ground, “Who sent this?”
Mo Qi was first surprised, then knelt down, “This subordinate deserves death! I didn’t notice!”
He had just been guarding the young Crown Prince and was not in Su Yingxue’s courtyard, failing to detect any anomalies.
But around Song Garden, Shadow Guards were on watch.
The person who delivered this body had incredibly strong martial arts, managing to evade all the Shadow Guards and place a body in the courtyard.
Fortunately, he didn’t intend to harm Su Yingxue!
Otherwise, he’d have to prepare to commit suicide as an apology before Chu Yihan!
Su Yingxue’s heart grew even heavier; previously, she only suspected, feeling more that it was her own illusion!
But seeing this body without sensing any danger, she almost immediately concluded, “Zi Wei…”
It must be him!
Only his martial arts were so powerful that he could come and go without a trace, and even… preserve Wang Weiran’s body for her!
“Your Highness, who are you talking about?” Mo Qi equally couldn’t believe it.
Wasn’t Silver Moon Pavilion Number One, the assassin, returning to Lingnan with the leader of the Yue Family?
Lingnan was a thousand miles away from here.
Su Yingxue took a deep breath, “I’ll write a letter; you must deliver it to the Yue Family in Lingnan immediately.”
She wanted to ask Yue Lian if Zi Wei was still in Lingnan!
If he wasn’t there any longer, then the one who had been delivering the body to her and staying by her side all this time must be Zi Wei!
“Zi Wei,” Su Yingxue murmured softly, her eyes unwittingly became tender and filled with apology.
She had clearly told him to live a good life, to be an ordinary and happy person.
But why wouldn’t he listen, why did he come back to her side again?
Zi Wei lingered outside Song Garden for a long time, watching Su Yingxue with people and the body heading towards Yangzhou Prefecture; only then did he vanish without a trace.
When he delivered the body to Su Yingxue, it was very likely she had already sensed something; now, he could no longer follow her, or she would discover him.
She would get angry and chase him away.
Zi Wei coughed heavily, dragging his exhausted body back to the inn.
Yue Lian was waiting for him in the room, a look of joy on her face as if she had good news.
But before she could speak, Zi Wei spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Hubby!”
Yue Lian, frightened, turned pale and immediately supported Zi Wei, helping him to lie down on the bed.
Her eyes reddening, she dared not touch him, yet her heart soared with concern, “Hubby, what’s happened to you, are you injured?”
Zi Wei would leave every night and return very late; she thought his martial arts were unmatched and never worried about his safety, but now…
He was injured!
Zi Wei said in a muffled voice, shaking his head, “The wound isn’t serious.”
Last night he had been keeping watch over Yangzhou Prefecture. When Xiao Hui sent a team of assassins to snatch the body, planning to steal it and burn it, naturally, he had to preserve the body for Su Yingxue.
But the assassins raised by Xiao Hui, whose martial arts were not inferior to those of Silver Moon Pavilion, were all skilled killers. If he was only to kill them and take the body, it wouldn’t be difficult.
However, thinking that Su Yingxue still needed witnesses, he couldn’t kill that group of people. He had to secure Wang Weiran’s body, which inevitably led to him being exploited by those men and suffering some minor injuries.
Compared to the injuries he sustained on missions for Silver Moon Pavilion, this was nothing; he didn’t even feel the pain.
Yue Lian need not be so heartbroken for him.
But what he didn’t understand was that every single one of his wounds, every drop of blood he shed, tormented Yue Lian like a knife to the heart.
