After Chu Ci fell asleep, Rong Yu did not have the slightest bit of sleepiness.

Seeing Chu Ci's face that was filled with fear, even if she fell asleep, that fear did not dissipate.

It was as if she was in a terrifying nightmare, and cold sweat seeped out of her forehead.

It was rare to see Chu Ci like that, so Rong Yu felt very uncomfortable in her heart. Even though she didn't really like her arrogant and conceited attitude, she realized that he liked her even less.

It had only been a day, but he had already seen such a weak Chu Ci.

He furrowed his brows, took out the clean handkerchief from his bosom, and began to wipe her forehead.

"Rong Yu, save me! Rong Yu, Rong Yu..."

"No, don't blow, don't blow... Rong Yu, Rong Yu, quickly save me, Rong Yu … "

Her plea was accompanied by a deep sense of despair. It was as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

He was unfamiliar and uncomfortable with coaxing women, but his comforting seemed to be effective. Chu Ci who was just now in despair and fear suddenly calmed down, the fear on her face slowly faded away as well. Afterwards, she fell into a deep sleep.

The grip on his hand began to loosen.

Seeing Chu Ci's expression becoming tranquil, Rong Yu's heart also slowly relaxed.

Looking at Chu Ci's face, she saw that it was still pale white, but the fear on her face had completely disappeared, leaving behind a sense of tranquility.

After covering Chu Ci with a blanket, Rong Yu did not leave. Instead, he sat by her side the entire time.

The assassin dared to brazenly come to the Prince Rong's Mansion to assassinate Chu Ci. What was his intention?

It looked like he had to properly investigate.

After pondering for a moment, his gaze returned to Chu Ci's face. Seeing that she was already fast asleep and her face no longer had the same expression of fear from before, his heart slightly relaxed.

As he got up to leave, he discovered that the hem of his clothes had actually been grasped tightly by Chu Ci in the palm of his hand. Even though he was already fast asleep, that power hadn't relaxed in the slightest.

The expression in Rong Yu's eyes was startled for a moment, but in his heart, he secretly rejoiced because of her unspeakable reliance on him. The corner of his mouth also formed a light smile without his realisation.

He sat up on the edge of the bed, leaned against her back, and sat down beside her. He did not leave again.

My man, Biancheng is in charge …

He remembered how she had introduced him to everyone.

Although it was slightly vulgar in terms of words, hearing it in his heart made him feel strangely warm.

"Biancheng is in charge …"

Although his tone was slightly reprimanding, it still made people hear the tone of his words as though he was a pet.

On this night, Rong Yu did not sleep at all. On one hand, he was worried about Chu Ci.

Unknowingly, the sky had already lit up, and when Rong Yu realized that he had accompanied Chu Ci by his side for an entire night, his eyes couldn't help but flash with a hint of shock.

Turning his head back, Chu Ci was still sleeping soundly. The redness on his face had already faded, but his hands were still tugging tightly at the corner of his clothes, not loosening it.

In Rong Yu's heart, there was something strange, following that, a smile also spread out from the corner of his mouth.

His hand probed Chu Ci's forehead, the high fever had already subsided, and seeing that she wasn't feeling so uncomfortable anymore, he quietly heaved a sigh of relief.

It was at this moment that Luo Yan's low voice sounded from outside the door. "Prince."

Rong Yu's line of sight, swept towards the door once, retracted his gaze, reached out, gently removed Chu Ci's hand from the hem of his clothes, seeing that she did not have any signs of waking up, he got up and walked to the door, his footsteps subconsciously becoming lighter.

When he opened the door, Luo Yan was standing outside with a distressed look on his face.

"To the study."

"Yes, Prince."

In the study.

"Has the assassin attacked yet?"

Rong Yu sat in front of the desk and asked casually, as if he was not too concerned with the assassin's statement.

"Reporting to the Prince, no, this subordinate used all kinds of methods, but he didn't even say a single word."

Speaking to this point, Luo Yan's tone was filled with anger.

"Yes."

Rong Yu tapped his fingers on the table, intentionally or unintentionally. He looked to be deep in thought, which confused Luo Yan.

After a long while, Luo Yan still did not hear him speak, but still braced himself and carefully asked: "Prince, that assassin, how should I deal with him?"

His gaze carried an inquiring look as he looked at Rong Yu. pursed his lips, and after a long while, he said, "There's no need to ask anymore. Let him go."

Let him go?

Hearing that, Luo Yan's eyes were filled with surprise, he did not quite understand what Rong Yu was trying to do.

An assassin who recklessly came to the Prince Rong's Mansion to behave atrociously. Since he could not get anything out of him, shouldn't he just immediately kill him? How could the Prince let him go so easily?

Even though Luo Yan had too many questions in his heart, but since his master was planning to do this, there was naturally a reason for it. He nodded his head immediately, "Yes, Prince, this subordinate will go, and this subordinate will take his leave."

"Yes."

The door to the study room was opened and closed. At this moment, only Rong Yu was left in the study room.

Seeing that his eyes were deep and serene, his lips were still pressed tightly together without saying a word. He only walked to the window slowly, looking in the direction of the Longyi Pavilion, and went into a daze.

As he expected, torture was useless against that assassin.

From the fight he had with the assassin last night, it seemed that the assassin wasn't weak, and was definitely not an ordinary assassin.

At the same time, from another point of view, it could be seen that the mastermind was determined to put Chu Ci to death. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent an expert to infiltrate Prince Rong's Mansion alone.

"What is the purpose of killing Chu Ci?"

He stood by the window and murmured in a low voice. His eyebrows knitted together unconsciously.
