He managed to find his voice, but his heart was beating so fast with fear that he couldn't speak.
He was only a guard, a guard from the's Duke Duan Palace. They were neither family nor close, but for his son, for him, they didn't even care about their lives.
"You … "Who are you, who are you …"
He knelt on one knee and let Liu Ruo Qing lie in her arms. His body trembled intensely, showing the fear that he was exuding from the depths of his heart at this very moment.
Liu Ruo Qing forcefully lifted her eyelids, looked at the crystal light hidden in his eyes, and smiled powerlessly.
It was great that she could die in his arms. If that happened, then she would have no regrets in her life.
She moved her lips and tried to speak, but no sound came out.
She wanted to touch his hand before she died, but just as she raised it, it drooped down in the next second.
Farewell, husband, Qing Er will be leaving first …
You said you would bury me and reassure me. You must do it.
Seeing her closed eyes, Yan Yuan's body trembled even more violently.
He held her face in his hands as tears welled up in his eyes. He didn't know why he was so scared and sad over the death of a guard, but he just couldn't control his emotions.
"Little... Xiao Niu, wake up … "Wake up, wake up, hurry and wake up …"
His voice was so hoarse it was almost impossible to hear.
He continued to hug Liu Ruo Qing's body and shook him lightly. "Xiao Niu, wake up, wake up … …"
Right at this moment, a few other people appeared behind them. The moment they saw Yan Yuan, their eyes lit up, and quickly ran over, "Your Highness!"
The people who came were Qi Feng and the rest who rushed over after receiving the signal from Yan Yuan.
Seeing the person in Yan Yuan's embrace that seemed to be dead, Qi Feng was surprised for a moment, especially when he saw the tears that remained on the face of his own Duke.
Ever since the princess passed away, he had only seen his highness shed a single tear. He had then concealed all his emotions, fearing that his highness would not be able to hold on due to his sorrowful emotions for too long.
But at this moment, the prince was finally crying. He actually cried for a man …
At this moment, Qi Feng's heart was a little complicated, but at this time, he didn't have any extra time to think. He went forward, picked up the young son beside Yan Yuan, and said to Yan Yuan: "My prince, first take Bull Guard to see this."
As he said that, he used his eyes to signal the other secret guards to bring Liu Ruo Qing out from Yan Yuan's embrace. However, Yan Yuan did not let go, but carried Liu Ruo Qing straight away, ignoring the complex gazes of the other secret guards, as he quickly walked in the direction of the King Jing Palace.
King Jing Palace —
"Hurry and call Mr. Lu over."
He kicked open his own room with one leg and carried Liu Ruo Qing inside.
He put her on the bed and reached out to take off her clothes, wanting to check her injuries.
When he violently ripped off Ye Xing Yi's clothes, her white clothes were dyed red with blood. Looking at Yan Yuan, he felt a stabbing pain in his heart.
With trembling hands, he untied her undergarment. When the clothes were completely opened and he saw the layer of cloth tightly wrapped inside, Yan Yuan's hand stopped.
He was not a human being, so he naturally understood what the scene before his eyes meant.
In that moment, Yan Yuan's entire body trembled, as though something was about to rush out of his mind.
He turned his gaze towards Liu Ruo Qing in shock. Seeing that his face was still flushed despite being unconscious, he finally understood where he felt that something was wrong previously.
Yan Yuan stared at her face for a long time, but his body was trembling even more violently than before.
Some were excited, some were uneasy, some were in disbelief, and some were filled with fear and hesitation from the bottom of their hearts.
He was afraid that this time … He had guessed wrongly again. He was afraid that this time, he would be the one to make a fool of himself.
Even though, when everything that had happened was linked together, that kind of guess was pretty much the same.
He suddenly laughed, but what followed was surging tears.
He reached out and squeezed her hand, which was frighteningly cold. He laughed and cried, and his body trembled violently.
He knelt by the bedside and gently caressed the hair on her forehead with his hands. His tears continued to fall uncontrollably. "It's fine, it's fine …"
"Your Highness, the Mr. Lu is here."
Qi Feng didn't care about etiquette at this time and rushed directly into the bedroom. Seeing Yan Yuan half lying on the bed, looking at the unconscious person on the bed with a gentle gaze, Qi Feng avoided his gaze, his expression a little awkward.
Your highness looks at a man like that, really...
The moment Qi Feng started, he felt goosebumps all over his body, but that person was his master, even if the King had that kind of thought, as his bodyguard, he could only turn a blind eye.
Lu Yuan He didn't think as much as he did, he quickly walked to the bed, "King …"
Just as he opened his mouth, he was pulled towards him by Yan Yuan. Yan Yuan said with a trembling voice: "Mr. Lu, this king begs you, you must not let anything happen to her, you must!"
He didn't dare to imagine if he could still hold on even if he lost her again. He really didn't dare to think about it.
Lu Yuan He felt that the hand Yan Yuan used to grab onto his clothes was using a lot of strength, but that trace of trembling was extremely obvious.
Lu Yuan He looked at Yan Yuan's face, those black eyes of his had a pleading look, but he also saw a hint of light that had disappeared before, and now it had returned.
He lowered his eyebrows and looked at the unconscious person on the bed. Was the light in the prince's eyes because of the Bull Guard?
The life of a little guard was actually able to make the prince use the word 'beg'. This showed just how important the Bull Guard was to the prince.
No, it wasn't to the extent of catching up with the princess, it was to the extent of treating her.
It's a pity, why is Bull Guard only a man.
Lu Yuan He sighed in his heart as he stretched out his hand to take Liu Ruo Qing's pulse.
Liu Ruo Qing's pulse was weak, as though she was about to die at any moment. She had to exert a lot of effort to be able to detect her pulse, and a moment later, her eyes widened up in shock as she looked at Yan Yuan.
But at the moment, he was not in a rush to say anything, he just continued to feel Liu Ruo Qing's pulse.
As the pulse detection time deepened, Lu Yuan He's brow creased even more tightly, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn. As Yan Yuan stood at the side, he didn't know when, but his back had already become ice-cold.
Time passed bit by bit, Yan Yuan's entire person seemed to have frozen and did not move at all, until Lu Yuan He withdrew his finger from Liu Ruo Qing's wrist.
