Chapter 28
Because he dared not, he made a wishful thought in his heart: to tie her hair up as her husband, as if he had married her.
At the time, she didn't understand why he suddenly offered to do her hair without waiting for her to refuse. Now, thinking back...
Liu Qishan, oh Liu Qishan, what else do you have that she doesn't know?
Nalan Jingwen suddenly moved closer to him and said carefully, word by word:
"Qishan, I took advantage of you yesterday, and today I'll ask you again: are you willing to marry me, Jingwen?"
Liu Qishan froze, instinctively trying to clench his fist, but it was firmly held in someone else's hand.
The warm sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating Liu Qishan. The warm, yellowish light enveloped him, making his aura even more gentle. He truly possessed an unparalleled beauty.
He opened his mouth slightly, his heart began to beat uncontrollably, and a sigh reached his ears.
"Why are you crying? Is marrying me such a disgrace?"
Liu Qishan hurriedly shook his head, "No?"
He wasn't aggrieved; he was willing. No one knows how long he had waited for this day or what price he had paid.
The moisture in his eyes was kissed away, and he smiled and said, "I do."
Then, a dizzying sensation followed, and she finally landed in a familiar embrace.
"what are you up to?"
"marriage!"
Since they had no parents, they could only worship Heaven and Earth.
There were no guests, no lively or bustling scene, only the two of them, two lonely people who met, found warmth in each other, their souls resonated, and became the most important people in each other's lives.
Even without a witness, heaven and earth can bear witness, and the hibiscus in front of the house can bear witness.
In this vast life, every encounter is no accident, and falling in love is even more difficult. It is a blessing from heaven to know and cherish each other.
May we live a peaceful and prosperous life together.
We swear that on this earth, our hearts will be united.
Let us wait until the green hills crumble and the rivers run dry, until our hair turns white and we are still together.
Nalan Jing looked up at Liu Qishan. Today, he was dressed in a bright red wedding robe, looking handsome and unforgettable.
He poured a glass of wine and handed it to Liu Qishan, then poured one for himself. He led him to the hibiscus tree by the door, and with a flick of his wrist, the wine in the glass poured down and disappeared into the soil.
"With the hibiscus as my witness, I hope to support my husband Liu Qishan, grow old together, and never leave him, no matter life or death."
Liu Qishan returned the warm hand and poured the wine in his cup in front of the hibiscus.
"Regardless of life or death, we will never leave each other."
Nalan Jingwen just stared at him, her eyes swirling with emotions, a glance that seemed to last a lifetime.
"You'll have to suffer in my hands for the rest of your life."
Liu Qishan's eyes were full of gentleness, which was dazzling.
"It's as sweet as sugar."
Just as he was about to pull the person into his arms, a sharp whistle rang out from the forest. The man shuddered. Before Nalan Jingwen could even look at him, two figures in black appeared before him.
Nalan Jingwen quickly shielded Liu Qishan behind him, his face grim, and his aura instantly erupted, surrounding the person behind him.
She looked warily at the two people kneeling on the ground and questioned them sharply.
"Who are you?!"
The two people on the ground looked at each other and clasped their hands in a gesture of respect.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty requests your return to the capital!"
Nalan Jingwen's alarm bells went off immediately. He stared intently at them, his mind churning with turmoil.
Wang Fu?
Rong Hengyu invited her to return to the capital?
The man who was seriously injured and still unconscious sent someone to invite her back to the capital?
Is the information wrong?
Although her mind was filled with a thousand thoughts, she remained cold on the surface. Noticing the trembling of the person behind her, she assumed he was afraid and patted his hand reassuringly.
He then said to the two people on the ground, "What prince? What prince consort? I have never met you before, and I already have a husband. Don't talk nonsense in front of my husband!"
With a flick of her sleeve, she exuded an aura of power.
The two people on the ground remained kneeling, their heads bowed even lower, giving the impression that they would kneel there until they died if she didn't go back with them.
"Your Highness! The Prince Consort is gravely ill and his life is hanging by a thread. Please come back to the capital with us!"
His words were forceful and clear, yet they were pressuring her.
She was very displeased, her expression sharp.
"I told you, you've mistaken me for someone else, get out of here!"
The two remained motionless, like statues.
"Please, Your Highness, come back to the capital with us!"
Upon hearing this, Nalan Jing pulled Liu Qishan around and went inside, leaving them kneeling at the door. However, a sharp whooshing sound came from behind them. Nalan Jing reacted quickly, trying to push Liu Qishan aside.
Liu Qishan dodged her push and instead tried to push her away.
Her eyes narrowed, and her face instantly darkened. She nimbly dodged Liu Qishan's hand. The arrow that pierced through the air was heading straight for Liu Qishan. With a twist, she pulled him into her arms. The arrow, which was about to pierce Liu Qishan's heart, grazed her shoulder, tearing her clothes instantly and drawing blood.
The blood soaked into the red wedding dress turned dark red.
"Ah Wen!"
Liu Qishan smelled blood and hurriedly tried to check her injuries, but she dodged him.
She didn't have time to reprimand him for sacrificing himself to save her. She shoved him away and shouted, "Run! Run deeper into the forest! Don't look back!"
"Jingwen!"
"Run if you don't want to get involved! I'll come find you!!"
Liu Qishan hesitated for only a moment, and the reddened eyes he saw when he turned around were etched into her heart. She knew that Liu Qishan was the smartest person and would never be a burden to her in the slightest!
After that arrow, a large group of men in black suddenly appeared around them, swords in hand, their target very clear: her!
She sensed their intentions, but inwardly she was relieved that they weren't after Liu Qishan!
She grabbed a stick and smashed a man in black who was rushing towards her to the ground with such force that the man could be heard groaning.
The two kneeling men immediately stood up and headed towards her.
"Protect the Prince!!"
A flash of cold light passed by, barely dodging the long sword thrusting from behind, but the sword's energy tore a hole in her clothes.
Another blow struck the longsword that was coming straight at him, and a section of the wooden stick was chopped off.
Her expression turned serious. She then turned around and kicked the man in the chest, sending him flying a long way until he crashed into the drying rack.
But she had no time to regret it, as a fierce killing move came straight at her from the side, and a sword flashed behind her, both carrying the aura of certain death.
She couldn't dodge it and could only catch it with her bare hands. The sharp blade sliced through her palm, deep enough to see bone, and blood flowed down her palm and onto the ground.
Even though she was exceptionally skilled and had learned some techniques in modern times that weren't available here, she lacked internal energy. No matter how unpredictable her movements were, she couldn't defeat so many people and quickly fell into a disadvantageous position, her body covered in wounds.
The two women were clearly skilled in martial arts, but they couldn't withstand the sheer number of people. Their inner strength was constantly being depleted as wave after wave of people advanced. They had used up more than half of their energy and shouted at Nalan Jingwen, "Your Highness! We'll hold them off, you must leave!"
Nalan Jingwen dodged the attack, her eyes dark and brooding. Who on earth wanted to kill her?! To be so ruthless!
Her strength gradually waned, her movements became sluggish, and she sustained many more wounds, yet they remained locked in a stalemate, neither able to get close to her.
They seemed to know that she had no internal strength, only some martial arts skills, and planned to wear her down indefinitely. If this continued, she would surely die!
Suddenly, something flashed past her eyes, and her pupils contracted sharply.
That red sign!
That woman from yesterday!
She understood, she understood everything!
That person yesterday was actually testing her!
Although she sensed something was off about the woman, she never expected that the news of her survival would be revealed so quickly! She had been so careful and discreet!
"Your Highness, hurry! Our men will be here to fetch you shortly!"
The two women fought hard to kill the men in black, almost one with each sword strike, but their movements were slightly sluggish as they continued to block the men in black who were rushing towards her.
He gave them a deep look, memorized the insignia on her body, and headed into the dense forest without looking back.
She must find Liu Qishan!
