Chapter 48 - Benwang Didn't Kill Her

He isn’t completely convinced yet he decides to marry her as his wife? It looks like she’s very important. For a man who’s born in the ancient era’s imperial family, what is the most important?

Kingdom! As for her who came from the modern era, she instantly thought of the word “kingdom”.

Linghu Shui Yue didn’t dare ask any more. She feared she would discover something terrifying that she couldn’t accept. Speaking of which, what in this world she couldn’t accept?

Thus, the entire tent quieted down. Even that tiger didn’t make any sound, obediently crouching in the corner then laid down, shutting its tiger eyes. There’s no need to mention Yang Lan Zhi who’s been knocked unconscious.

In the tent where the sound of a pin dropping could be heard, a faint, nearly nonexistant fragrance of orchids silently spread out throughout the entire tent’s air, permeating Zhu ninth’s lungs.

Zhu ninth lord realized, he couldn’t resist against the pure yang scent seeping into his lungs. Then, since this pure yang scent was beneficial for his wounds, there’s no reason for him to resist.

In the middle of the night, Yang Lan Zhi’s pair of peach blossom eyes whipped open, staring straight at Zhu ninth lord who was deep asleep. She discreetly shifted her inner force, realized her martial arts was sealed. Though her eyes were wide, she didn’t do anything.

After observing for a while, she only once again closed her eyes, resigning herself to her fate. This Zhu ninth lord was indeed terrifying! If it wasn’t for Commander Linghu, she feared for her life.

But, he discovered an interesting problem. You wang who killed without batting an eyelash actually didn’t take his life because of Commander Linghu, allowing him to barely dodge this calamity.

In the distance, the morning dawn gradually lightened. Under the foot of the mountain, a creek was crooked. In the forest, the birds sang and flowers were fragrant. A plume of smoke rose upwards.

Linghu Shui Yue woke up to find Zhu You Hong was all dressed and equipped while Yang Lan Zhi was still in an unconscious state.

She patted Yang Lan Zhi a few times but she didn’t show signs of waking. She couldn’t help resenting ninth lord, this man’s acupoint skill was too strong! But, using it on a weak female body, wasn’t it too much?

“Commander Zhu, how can we wake her?” She purposely emphasized the word Zhu, “She’s just a young lady. Aren’t you a bit heavy-handed? In this state all night, is it okay?”

“Benwang didn’t kill her!” Zhu You Hong stretched out two fingers to jab her in the back two times. What he meant was, this person deserved to die, I didn’t kill her, it’s due to his benevolence. In reality, it isn’t he was benevolent, it’s because of Commander Linghu.

Born into the imperial family, the man can speculate another’s thoughts. If he did kill this Yang Lan Zhi, Commander Linghu will think he killed an innocent person. But this Yang Lan Zhi in Zhu You Hong’s eyes was a person who should die.

Yang Lan Zhi seemingly waking from a dream, leapt up from the bed. Tall and graceful figure, after standing up, there’s a moment she was stunned frozen.

“You don’t need to be afraid!” Linghu Shui Yue noticed Yang Lan Zhi’s face was pale, seemed to have been frightened, her heart couldn’t bear it and immediately comforted her, patting her shoulder.

Yang Lan Zhi was silent for a moment, looking at Linghu Shui Yue then glanced at Zhu You Hong, asking a little cowardly, “Commander Linghu, what happened to this civilian girl last night?”

Linghu Shui Yue’s hands pinned on her shoulders, “You don’t need to fear. Ninth lord is heavily suspicious. Last night he couldn’t sleep so made you unconscious. It’s morning now, you can go back.”

“Commander Linghu, the night’s passed? This civilian girl can go back?” Yang Lan Zhi seemed to have broke out of her daze.

“Yes, you can go back.” Linghu Shui Yue nodded hard.

“Commander Linghu, can you lend a horse to this civilian girl?”

“Don’t give an inch, want a mile! Take your life and scram!” Zhu You Hong spoke on Linghu Shui Yue’s behalf. At the same time, as he stared at Yang Lan Zhi, his eyes filled with a warning look.
