Chapter 120
Nalan Yin also saw her, and beside him was the traitor who was charging at him with a knife.
Nalan Yin watched helplessly as the long sword slashed a bloody wound across his back in front of Nalan Jingwen. His expression froze, and he knelt heavily on the ground.
Just as the knife was about to pierce his body, a familiar figure descended from the sky, wielding an axe, and accurately chopped off the traitor's head.
Helian Ziyu smiled and looked at Nalan Jingwen, as if seeking credit, while his axe kept swinging, reaping heads.
Nalan Jingwen's heart, which had been pounding, returned to normal. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and flew over with the two people in his arms, landing next to Helian Ziyu and tossing the little girl to her.
"then."
Helian Ziyu caught the little girl steadily in his arms, his slashing motion completely unaffected. He even thoughtfully turned the little girl's face towards him, preventing her from seeing the bloody scene.
With Helian Ziyu's help, a clean area was quickly cleared, where Rong Hengyu would be safe for the time being. She quickly squatted down to check on Nalan Yin's condition.
She frowned, quickly applied pressure to stop the bleeding, tore off a piece of cloth from her clothes to bandage him, and then held him in her arms.
Throughout this process, Nalan Yin neither fainted nor cried out in pain; she simply watched her movements calmly, her dark, beautiful eyes filled with complex emotions.
When Rong Hengyu saw Nalan Yin, a dark glint flashed in his phoenix eyes, and he immediately squatted down to help.
Soon, all five thousand people were cleared out, with no one surviving. The scene was a mess, with corpses lying everywhere.
Helian Ziyu placed the little girl in her arms on the ground, and soon a man took the little girl from her, knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to Nalan Jingwen and Helian Ziyu.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my child, thank you..."
Helian Ziyu helped the person up, saying, "No need to thank me, go back now."
Pei Yunche rushed over in a panic, staring intently at Nalan Jingwen to check if she was injured. Only after confirming that she was unharmed did he feel relieved, but tears welled up uncontrollably in his eyes.
He raised his hand to wipe away his surging tears, but his eyes never left her for a moment.
Nalan Jingwen ignored them and looked at Nalan Fengxing who was walking down.
"Your Majesty, Nalan Yin is injured. I will take her back to heal her."
Nalan Fengxing nodded. "Go ahead, you don't need to worry about the rest."
Nalan Jingwen then looked at Hongyun and Jingchi, who had rushed over, and said, "You two escort the Prince Consort back to the manor, Chenghe go and fetch the imperial physician!"
She picked him up and carried him in her arms. She had only taken one step when she felt her sleeve being tugged. Turning around, she saw Pei Yunche looking at her with teary eyes.
"what about me?"
Nalan Jingwen then turned his gaze to him. Seeing that he was completely unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Go back to the General's Mansion first. I will come to find you after I have dealt with everything."
She paused, then said, "Be good, listen to me."
Pei Yunche then let go of Nalan Jingwen's hand, watched her departing figure, and once again raised his hand to wipe away his tears.
Helian Ziyu saw this scene and walked over, raising an eyebrow slightly.
"You're also one of Nalan Jingwen's men?"
Pei Yunche glanced at her, then turned back without answering her.
Helian Ziyu wasn't annoyed. She clicked her tongue and said, "You are good-looking, but you're a bit stupid. If you marry Nalan Jingwen, you'll probably suffer a lot."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yunche glared at her.
"What do you mean!"
Ignoring his indignant gaze, Helian Ziyu hoisted the axe, still dripping with blood, onto his shoulder and smashed it to the ground.
She found a place to sit down anywhere, not minding the dirt, and looked in the direction where Nalan Jingwen and his group had left. She said, "Her husband doesn't seem like someone to be trifled with. He looks dignified and composed, and considers the big picture. Even when he was captured by the traitors, he didn't easily reveal any emotion. In fact, it is people like this who are the most terrifying."
She paused, then continued, "And the one in her arms, what's his name? Nalan Yin? He doesn't look like a simple guy either. You probably can't beat the two of them."
Pei Yunche pursed his lips, recalling the first time he met Nalan Yin on the street, his provocative gaze and smile...
He couldn't help but argue, "Nalan Yin is her younger brother. If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. If you dare to ruin her reputation, I won't let you off!"
Helian Ziyu scoffed, looking at him as if he were an idiot.
"They both share the surname Nalan, how could I not know their relationship? But so what? Such things have happened in the royal family since ancient times. Nalan Jingwen may not care about him, but Nalan Yin may not."
Pei Yunche lowered his eyes, his hands clenched under his sleeves, seemingly lost in thought.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"You're too naive. Let me give you a couple of pointers so you don't get sold out and end up counting the money for someone else."
"you!!"
Helian Ziyu ignored his angry expression, stood up, dusted off his robes, and turned to leave.
In fact, she was paying attention to Nalan Jingwen, and naturally she was also paying attention to the people around her. However, Pei Yunche seemed to have no scheming at all. How could he possibly outmaneuver the men around Nalan Jingwen?
Just a few words of advice were enough to make Nalan Jingwen's backyard more interesting. Shouldn't she thank herself?
Thinking of this, the smile on her lips grew even wider.
……
Wangfu.
Nalan Jingwen quickly returned to his courtyard, placed the person on the bed, and then instructed the servants to come in and help Nalan Yin undress.
She was just about to leave when her hand was grabbed.
Nalan Yin stared intently at her, "Why did you save me?"
"It wasn't me who saved you, it was Helian Ziyu."
Nalan Jing heard this and said it was true.
Nalan Yin didn't speak, but just stared straight at her.
Nalan Jingwen sighed and turned around to pull his hand away. “Since I have chosen to help you, I must take responsibility for you to the end. Besides, you have signed a blood pact with me. If you die, I will not be able to live either. So naturally I must save you.”
"Or what kind of answer do you want?"
Nalan Yin remained silent, staring intently at her, a complex mix of emotions swirling in his eyes.
"I will go out and have the servants help you change your clothes."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nalan Yin gripped her hand again, her expression stubborn and her voice pleading.
"No one else."
"only you……"
Nalan Jing sighed, not thinking much of it, assuming he didn't want anyone to touch him. Without a second thought, she took off his clothes, leaving him only in a thin undergarment.
She sat on the edge of the bed, her expression complicated.
"Didn't I tell you to go back to the palace? Why didn't you listen?"
Nalan Yin simply said, "You promised me, so if you die there, wouldn't I be at a loss?"
"So you went there alone? And ended up getting injured."
Knowing she was in the wrong, Nalan Yin remained silent, unusually refraining from arguing with her.
