If he had listened to you, stopping would truly be a loss of life, and he would immediately hug the Xiao Sui as he ran frantically. Of course, he could feel the wind coming closer and closer behind him, and his back was covered in cold sweat.

She opened her red and swollen eyes, and with a single glance, she saw Ke Zheng following closely behind her. In her heart, a wave of hatred instantly rose from within her heart, this was a hatred that she had never experienced before, filled with madness and ruthlessness, causing her to wish she could skin this fellow alive.

This hatred broke through the logic of Xiao Sui, leaving behind only the word "kill" in her mind.

The two of them sprinted along the way, and seeing that the exit was right in front of them, Shi Jinchen did not hesitate any more as he thought to himself, even if I have to receive this palm attack, I have to let the two of them escape.

On the other side, Ke Zheng was elated when he saw that his right hand was about to touch the back of Shi Jinchen, and he thought that today, he would have to deal with this Fourth Prince which was opposing him everywhere. However, he didn't expect to see that Xiao Sui was staring at him with bloodshot eyes, what kind of expression was that, filled with ruthlessness and ice-cold killing intent, as if he would be burnt to ashes!

Ke Zheng was alarmed and uncertain. Yue Hua had obviously not recovered her memories, so how could she have such a gaze?!

Thinking about how her Ke Zheng would end up in her hands, Xiao Sui couldn't help but become excited, and this excitement caused her body to tremble slightly. Shi Jinchen felt the person in his embrace suddenly tremble, and thought that she was afraid, and immediately wanted to console her, but before he could do anything, he was pushed away by Xiao Sui, and they exchanged places.

No — Xiao Sui!

He reached out his hand to grab onto the Xiao Sui, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not even reach the hem of her clothes.

The woman in front of him did not respond to him, but turned around and faced the Ke Zheng!

How dare she?! Shi Jinchen only felt that the world in front of his eyes seemed to have turned blank, only the resolute back of a woman remained.

The Xiao Sui and the Ke Zheng were precisely on the verge of destruction, and without any fear, she waved her fist and welcomed it. In that moment, she who was drenched in blood was like a silver spear that revealed its sharpness, directly thrusting towards the Ke Zheng.

Ke Zheng was also shocked by this ruthless killing intent, and this force was actually aimed straight at his heart! He anxiously turned and attacked with his palm at Shi Jinchen, using all of his strength to block this lightning fast attack. The two of them crossed each other in mid air, and after the Ke Zheng landed on the ground, he retreated a few steps, then could no longer control his own bloody throat, spitting out a large mouthful of blood. But Xiao Sui was not so lucky. She had just expended all her energy in one strike, and now that she had lost all her strength, she felt like a rag doll that had been smashed against a strange rock. She fainted on the spot, and blood was flowing out of the back of her head.

Shi Jinchen clutched at his chest, feeling alarmed and uncertain. Just as he was about to lift his Qi to check out the situation, a few guards behind him held him tightly.

"My lord, you mustn't!"

"Your Highness, now is the right time to leave. Let's take advantage of that Ke Zheng distraction to quickly leave!"

Shi Jinchen wanted to struggle, but no matter if it was the inside or outside, it was so painful that it seemed to split open. He looked at the Xiao Sui which twisted his body as he laid amidst the rubble, and he didn't even know if she was alive or dead. This was his Xiao Sui, that ancient demon, that girl who would talk back to him, that girl who would be angry at him, and that person whom he had sworn to protect well, was currently lying in the distance, whether he was dead or alive was unknown.

His heart felt as if it had been stabbed by knives, and he continuously spat out a few mouthfuls of blood in front of his subordinates. It was all because of his own incompetence and pride that he was in such a situation. Losing those he loved and losing so many subordinates were all his own fault!

The guards were used to seeing their master being so proud and reserved, so when had they ever seen him in such a sorry state? But now was not the time to think about it, so they did not dare hesitate at all.

Fortunately, there were people outside the cave supporting them, when they saw that only a few of the elite soldiers who went in remained, and that the Fourth Prince Emperor seemed to be severely injured, they were very suspicious, and that they should not stay any longer, and did not know whether the broken sword cliff assassins would follow the traces and come out, in order to make a long-term plan, it was better to leave as soon as possible.

Everyone quickly left the cave with their heavily injured and unconscious Shi Jinchen, leaving behind a few people to clean up the place, in case those assassins follow the traces and come …

The sunlight outside the window was especially dazzling, and even the birdsong beside his ears was especially disturbing. Shi Jinchen turned his body on the bed.

"Xiao Sui, close the window for me."

So Uncle Chen carefully stepped forward and closed the window. Since the start of the broken sword cliff battle, a month had already passed. The prince had been lying on his bed since his rescue half a month ago.

The doctor came over to treat them only to say that their injuries were too serious. Whether it was their flesh wounds or internal injuries, they needed to rest. The few of them didn't dare to disturb him, so they used the medicinal formula to take care of the prince.

The people in the manor naturally discovered that Xiao Sui had not returned with the prince, but no one dared to bring up this matter. Even in front of the Shi Jinchen, they still changed the topic.

Uncle Chen carefully walked out of the room, and gently closed the door. His Royal Highness' body was getting better and better with each passing day. However, his spirit … He looked at the tightly shut door behind him with worry. His Royal Highness hadn't left his room since he came back. In this month, he had spent most of his time lying on the bed.

When the Young Miss and the others heard that the Prince's body wasn't well, they had also come to visit him at home. However, the Prince avoided him at all times, and while he was in bed groggy all day, other than applying the medicine, there was almost no one else.

It would be alright if it was only like that, but every time he fell asleep, he would shout out the name of Miss Xiao Sui, and he would even cry for no reason. Uncle Chen had never gone with him to the broken sword cliff, so naturally, he did not know what had happened on that day. But the only thing he could be sure of was that ever since he came back from that battle, the Prince seemed to have received a huge mental blow, and he would often get inexplicably angry and break some things. He would often let the Xiao Sui wait on him, as if insisting that the Xiao Sui was still in the palace. In order to prevent his illness from getting worse, no one in the mansion dared to provoke him.

The doctor had prescribed some medicine to calm his mind, but it had little effect. Although the prince no longer had a frequent attack, he was becoming more and more addicted to sleeping. In the end, it was still impossible to cure.

The old steward sighed deeply. He looked at the tightly shut door behind him, but still turned around and left helplessly in the end.
