Wu Zhou slowly lowered his head and kissed her lips gently, "Only you like this are worthy of my life."
"Haha...you said it in such a sensational way again, I feel...I really did something wrong."
At this moment, the speeding carriage suddenly stopped. In the otherwise silent night, the sound of rustling footsteps and the crackling sound of torches could be heard from all around.
It's like an ambush from all sides, or like a dragnet.
"grown ups……"
Wu Zhou looked at Qianye who was unconscious, took back the hand that was healing her, and pushed open the carriage door.
I don't know when a group of elite soldiers were surrounded, with their armor shining brightly and their faces looking majestic and solemn.
……………
When Chiba woke up, she seemed to have slept for a long time. Although the wound on her chest had almost healed, her body was still weak and weak, sending some unusual signals to her.
At this moment, they were no longer in the carriage. They were in a quiet and dim room. The furnishings in the room were slightly simple, but upon closer inspection, they were not so dirty and desolate.
Wu Zhou still held her tightly in his arms. In the silence, she could hear Wu Zhou's steady and slow heartbeat, as well as his slightly shallow breathing.
Their situation should be very passive. Let's not talk about this unfamiliar environment. She is injured now, and her injured body looks weird.
The energy in Wu Zhou's body had long been showing signs of drying up, but he had an inexplicable aversion to those straw boxes and refused to eat.
And death... He can only save one person at a time.
After sorting out the situation, Chiba gently said: "Where is this?"
"Capital City, Princess Mansion."
Chiba was slightly startled, "Why?"
"After you fell asleep, the carriage was already surrounded by soldiers and horses from the princess's palace. Everything was prepared, but we still don't know what they want to do yet."
Wu Zhou was just half-lying on the bed, raising his head and chatting, but did not move for a moment. Qianye even felt that she was pressing on Wu Zhou, making it difficult for him to even breathe.
She struggled to get up from him, but she didn't want to. Her arms were weak and she fell back with a thud, causing Wu Zhou to gasp loudly.
"What happened?"
Wu Zhou still didn't move, but slowly held his hand on Qianye's shoulder, and his voice suddenly became deeper, "Qianye, maybe I was wrong in insisting on having you accompany me before."
"Huh, what's the matter? Do you want to default on the debt after eating it all?"
"I can heal your injuries, but I can't do anything about the poison of the Demon King's son. Now that we are both in jail, I may not be able to protect you."
Wu Zhou said softly, stroking Qianye's hair and trying to hug her tightly. Such a small wish was difficult to achieve at this moment.
This may all be part of someone's plan. He couldn't just watch Qianye being seriously injured, nor could he watch her fall asleep due to the magic poison.
The consequence of treating her wounds and detoxifying her is that she will exhaust her energy and eventually return to the time when she was most defeated.
But at that time, he was not afraid of anything. He suffered all the humiliation and hardships, but his endurance would eventually come to an end. At worst, they would all die together. He never thought about losing his dignity and living.
But it's different now. He once hoped that Qianye could always stay with him. Even if she was involved in the disaster he suffered, even if she suffered all the hardships with him, he hoped that she could always stay by his side.
However, when the day did come, he no longer wanted her to accompany him.
He didn't want her to be tortured, he couldn't protect her.
He didn't even want his miserable situation to be exposed in front of Qianye. He couldn't protect her, not even himself.
No matter what kind of humiliation and cruelty, he could bear it, but he didn't want Qianye to see it.
For the first time in more than three years, Wu Zhou was frightened by the impending disaster. For the first time in such a situation, he felt that he could no longer accept it calmly.
