Chapter 12 Lin Xiao is arrested
"Your Highness!!! Wan'er thought she would never see you again! Waaaaahh ...
Su Wan'er was successfully rescued. She seemed to have lost all her strength, throwing herself into Murong Yi's arms, tightly hugging his neck, sobbing uncontrollably. Tears streamed down her pale, terrified face like a burst dam. Her body trembled uncontrollably, clearly still trapped in the fear and shock of being imprisoned by the bandits.
Murong Yi gently pulled her into his arms, one hand softly stroking her back, while the other hand gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. His eyes were filled with endless tenderness and heartache, as if Su Wan'er were the only person left in the world at that moment.
His lips trembled slightly as he softly comforted her, "Wan'er, don't be afraid. I'm here. You're safe now. Those bandits can't hurt you anymore." His voice was deep and powerful, carrying a magical ability to dispel all gloom.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoqian felt a complex mix of emotions. Not wanting to disturb the long-separated lovers, she silently turned away, dragging her injured body, and staggered to another corner. She slowly crouched down, leaning against the cold wall, and pulled a strip of cloth from her bosom to bandage her wound.
The pain from the wound made her frown, but what puzzled her even more was the heartache welling up inside her. She wondered to herself, could it be because the original owner of this body, Lin Qianqian, had a crush on the Ninth Prince, Murong Yi, that she was having this conditioned reflex? This unfamiliar yet intense emotion spread wildly within her, leaving her with a complex mix of feelings. She sighed softly, as if trying to expel all her troubles and confusion with that breath.
As she was lost in her thoughts, she was completely unaware that a pair of eyes were watching her intently from a dark corner. Those eyes held a cunning and malicious glint, like someone stalking wounded prey, waiting for the perfect moment to launch a surprise attack.
Lin Xiaoqian was completely unaware of the approaching danger. She kept her head down, focused on her inner world, pondering the intricate emotional entanglements between this body and Murong Yi. Meanwhile, the danger lurking in the shadows was closing in on her step by step, like a shadow in the night, silent yet deadly.
The bandits who had just been captured were hiding in the shadows not far away. A servant could be seen whispering to the bandit leader, "Boss, it was her just now. She ruined our plans and rescued that little girl. She's quite formidable. Even after I stabbed her, she could still fight back. She's much tougher than that crying woman from before!" Upon hearing this, the bandit leader's face immediately darkened, his eyes filled with anger and dissatisfaction.
After treating her wounds, Lin Xiaoqian was still worried about the safety of Murong Yi and Su Wan'er. Despite her mixed feelings, she decided to put aside her personal emotions for the time being and get up to go find them.
Completely unaware, danger crept silently behind her like a shadow. Those treacherous bandits, seemingly appearing from some hidden corner, swiftly unfurled pre-prepared sacks.
Like well-trained hunters, they moved with swift, fluid movements, catching Lin Xiaoqian off guard and forcefully slinging the sack over her. Lin Xiaoqian instinctively struggled, but the bandits shoved her heavily to the ground, followed by a barrage of punches and kicks. She groaned muffledly inside the sack, her vision plunging into darkness. A surge of intense unease and anger welled up within her, yet she was powerless to escape this sudden predicament. She could only helplessly allow the bandits to hoist her onto their shoulders and hastily head towards the unknown depths of darkness.
