Xiaoming was only a few distances away from the palace and it surprised Liu Jin Yu that the suspicious man didn’t stop following him.

‘Is he an assassin?’ She thought when her eyes widened to see the dagger in the man’s hand. He was ready to attack Xiaoming, who was only a few meters ahead of him.

Liu Jin Yu checked her pocket and realized that she had forgotten to bring a dagger with her. She ran after the man, and before he could attack Xiaoming, she kicked him from behind.

The man tripped and fell to the ground with a loud thud. However, the dagger was still in his hand. Xiaoming, who was ahead of them, turned to look. He was shocked to see an unknown man on the ground while Liu Jin Yu was glaring at the man.

The man stood up swiftly and wielded the dagger tightly. He was ready to attack Liu Jin Yu.

“Crown Prince, run to the palace,” Liu Jin Yu shouted. She dodged the attack of the dagger. Xiaoming did the opposite and stepped forward to help her. The man took out the sword that he had hidden inside his long robes.

Liu Jin Yu told Xiaoming to run and bring help instead of helping her.

“I cannot let him harm you,” Xiaoming said when Liu Jin Yu snatched the dagger from him.

.....

“Don’t be a fool. He is after you. Run towards the palace and send a few soldiers here.” Liu Jin Yu’s voice turned informal while she carefully watched the steps of the man who now had the sword in his hand.

He attacked them when Liu Jin Yu came in front of Xiaoming and defended the blade of the sword with the dagger’s blade that she had held. She pushed him with her entire strength and panted.

Xiaoming tried to help her when she stopped him. “Don’t act like a foolish person. Go to the palace,” she again advised him, “I will stop him.”

She fell to the ground when the man bent over on his knee and with the sword hurt her thigh. He promptly got up and kicked her abdomen. Xiaoming ran to Liu Jin Yu and took the dagger from him. He fought with the man now and easily defended his attacks. Gathering her strength, Liu Jin Yu rose to her feet.

“Jin Yu, run to the palace and bring help,” Xiaoming told her. “It is a royal command. If you don’t follow it, then you will get punished along with Wu Jin,” he threatened her.

Liu Jin Yu stepped back and ran as fast as she could towards the palace. Her right side pants were stained with blood and she felt extreme pain in her leg. But if she stopped, then Xiaoming’s life might fall into danger.

Xiaoming directed the dagger toward the man while the man’s sword was pointed toward him. They circled in a circle, waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack one other.

“Who are you? Who has sent you behind me?” Xiaoming inquired while staring into his eyes.

The man didn’t utter a word and this time attacked Xiaoming more fiercely than before. Xiaoming’s hand started to bleed as he tried to stop the blade, and his eyes turned red.

He somehow managed to push the man away and looked at his left hand. “Soon, the soldiers will be here. What do you think will happen then? It’s better for you to tell me who sent you,” Xiaoming tried to get the truth from the man.

Again, the man didn’t speak and continued to attack Xiaoming. He only defended his attack and kicked the hand of the man who was on the sword’s hilt. Xiaoming grasped the sword quickly and pointed it at the man’s neck. By then, a few soldiers had come to rescue the Crown Prince.

“Now, you have to undergo torture in the prison,” Xiaoming said, and the man lifted his hands above his head.

“Your Royal Highness, are you alright?” One of the soldiers asked. Xiaoming nodded and asked them to take the man to the prison. The soldiers acted on his command while he walked ahead to check on Liu Jin Yu.

To his surprise, she had come back to the same place. “The Crown Prince caught him,” she said with a smile and looked at his hand, which was bleeding. “That’s why I told the Crown Prince to run first, but he didn’t listen to me.” She took his hand in hers and told him that he should go quickly to the Royal Physician.

“What about you?” Xiaoming asked. “Your leg is injured too. Come with me,” he said.

Liu Jin Yu motioned her hands in the air to refuse. “That’s a small cut. I will go back. My master will get worried about me if he doesn’t find me,” she opined and stepped back. She bowed before him and told him not to come out of the palace.

She asked him to walk ahead first and then she would leave. Then Xiaoming stepped up, and the next second, he carried Liu Jin Yu in his arms.

“Your Royal Highness!” Shock prevailed on Liu Jin Yu’s face.

“Put me down, Your Royal Highness,” Liu Jin Yu said when Xiaoming asked her to hold him tightly.

“Just pretend that you have fainted, then no one will say anything. You are wounded and you must get treatment. Also, I don’t want it to stay as a scar. A woman must take care of her body,” he said. Liu Jin Yu blinked a few times while staring at Xiaoming. He started to walk toward the palace and brought Liu Jin Yu to his manor. Many servants watched them, and she decided to pretend that she was unconscious.

A faint smile formed on Xiaoming’s lips, and he held Liu Jin Yu close to him.
