"Apologise? You asked me to apologize to you? Haha, what a beautiful thought! I haven't asked you to apologize to me yet!"
Ke'er answered directly angrily, but she didn't realize that his cold gaze was not directed at her.
Ao Chenye ignored her shouting and turned his gloomy eyes to the guard.
"Didn't you hear what I said? Apologize!"
"ah?!"
At this moment, the guard was in a daze, and for a moment he could only respond to the question blankly.
"I just won't apologize, what can you do to me! Don't go too far!"
Ke'er continued her tantrum that she couldn't understand the situation, and while talking, she clenched her fist and waved it menacingly at his handsome face, feeling a sense of grievance and anger in her heart.
I was only focused on venting, but I forgot that there was a big knife on my neck!
She moved her head in excitement and wiped her neck directly against the guard's sword.
"careful!"
Ao Chenye screamed in surprise, his black eyes widened in shock and he waved his strong arm, and the strong and sharp golden light immediately struck the big knife.
At this critical moment, she heard a few "clang, clang, clang, clang" sounds, and the big knife across her neck broke into several sections.
Kerr finally realized what he had done.
In an instant, her cheeks turned pale in shock.
She instinctively covered her neck and opened her mouth wide in horror, but she was too frightened to say anything.
She almost got herself killed because of her recklessness!
At this moment, before she could recover from the shock, her body was suddenly pulled up.
As soon as the scene in front of her eyes flickered, she felt that she had stood up steadily. In front of her was a thick and powerful chest, so broad and majestic... For a moment, she felt a little hazy... an unprecedented sense of security...
…
Ao Chenye hugged her tightly, his heart beat uncontrollably, and he lost his calm and self-possessed image. He anxiously pulled down her hands and looked at her neck.
"Are you okay? Where does it hurt? See if there is any cut?"
His voice was very anxious, and he looked up, down, left, and right at her neck carefully.
Ke'er patted her heart to calm down her fright.
She replied in a frightened voice——
"Huhu, it's okay, okay, it doesn't hurt anywhere, I probably didn't get cut. Fortunately, fortunately!"
After confirming that she was unharmed, Ao Chenye raised his eyebrows, and the anxious look on his face was suddenly replaced by anger.
"Are you an idiot? You dare to move around with a knife on your neck? Do you think your life is too long?"
His emotions were a little out of control.
Seeing that his face had lost its usual elegant calmness, her heart couldn't help but fly, and a feeling of being cared about filled her heart.
She was smiling, her eyes were bright, and she was full of excited expectations.
"Wow! Are you very concerned about my life and death?"
Upon hearing her question, the guards on the side immediately pricked up their ears and wanted to know what the king's attitude was towards this girl.
Why did they misunderstand her as an assassin before and then suddenly change their attitude and care about her?
The servants' obvious attention made Ao Chenye feel a little embarrassed.
He let go of her with some caution, and then stood with his hands behind his back, his posture a little haughty.
"Idiot woman, if you get hurt in front of this king, won't you lose my face?"
After saying that, he glanced solemnly at the guards with swords, causing their raised ears to immediately drop.
Regarding his answer, Ke'er dimmed her eyes a little disappointed.
Soon, she became cheerful again.
"Haha, that's right. Then you have to protect me well in the future. If I get hurt, your face will be hurt."
Ke'er playfully reached out and pulled his handsome face, deliberately pulling the two red marks.
Ao Chenye felt a little uncomfortable under the gaze of many guards regarding her intimate gestures as if no one was around.
He avoided her delicate hands without leaving a trace, and in order to maintain his majesty, he gently cleared his throat and said, "You were frightened just now. I will ask someone to get you some tea to calm your shock... Someone, take the lady back."
"Yes." Two palace maids ran over and stood respectfully in front of Ke'er, inadvertently separating her from Ao Chenye.
"Miss, please come with me."
Ke'er bit her lip, feeling a little disappointed at his sudden seriousness. It seemed that in an instant, the distance between them widened again.
She looked at Ao Chenye, and he responded to her with a flawless and elegant reassuring smile: "Go ahead."
After saying that, he turned around and walked gracefully to the other side, surrounded by guards behind him.
With everyone following him, his back looked so noble, so noble that there was a faint sense of distance.
Ke'er just felt that something was blocking her heart, and she was a little depressed.
She pursed her tender lips, then turned around under the palace maid's respectful gaze and walked in the opposite direction.
Along the way, she looked at the surrounding scenery aimlessly.
As they were walking, suddenly a dark shadow came out of the corner. He was covering his face and holding a sharp sword and stabbed Ke'er straight at him.
This sudden situation made the three of them scream together: "Ah——"
In a panic, the man in black only stared at Ke'er with fierce eyes. The sword in his hand nimbly avoided the two palace ladies and stabbed her in the heart.
A palace maid closest to Ke'er pushed Ke'er out of desperation: "Miss, leave quickly!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the sword pierced her body, and she fell limply towards Ke'er. Ke'er screamed and instinctively reached out to support her.
However, at this moment, bright red blood burst out from the palace maid's body and splashed towards Ke'er's face. The thrilling blood made her pale in horror: "You... you..."
Having never experienced such a bloody scene, she was so frightened that she forgot her words. Her eyes widened in shock as she watched the palace maid's chest bleeding continuously...
Seeing that he had stabbed the wrong person, the man in black drew his sword without hesitation and continued to attack Ke'er.
Seeing this, another palace maid rushed over and helped the injured palace maid aside, and then pulled Ke'er anxiously and panicked: "Miss, hurry up, his target is you!"
The palace maid's voice made Ke'er recover from the blood spatter, and she passively let the palace maid pull her and run.
"Help, help, there is an assassin!" the palace maid shouted while protecting Ke'er.
Ke'er tried hard to overcome the panic and fear in her heart. She pushed the palace maid in a safe direction with her backhand. She tried to stay rational and urged in a trembling tone -
"He just wants to kill me. I'll hold him back. Hurry. Go and call someone. Hurry!"
With that said, she walked back regardless of whether the palace maid disapproved, exposing herself to the assassin again.
The palace maid watched anxiously as she returned to the dangerous place. After a moment of struggle, she decided that it would be best to call for help quickly.
On this side, before Ke'er could take a few steps, the assassin was already chasing her...
