Chapter 4

Who Are You?!

The girl threw herself into his arms in an instant. Smelling her fragrance, Lu Ze subconsciously reached out to grab her waist, letting her soft arms wrap around his neck.

The soldiers who had come looking for them with torches heard the commotion and stuck their heads out. They only saw a couple hugging each other. At this moment, the higher-ups were anxious, so the group didn’t come in to investigate. They only whistled a few times and left jokingly.

When the alley returned to silence, Lin Suisui quickly jumped off Lu Ze like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She lowered her head in embarrassment and tidied her dress, not planning to explain what had just happened.

Lu Ze only looked at her deeply before turning around and continuing to lead the way.

The rest of the journey was smooth. It took less than an hour to get to their destination. It was an inconspicuous old courtyard at the edge of the capital.

This place was located in the suburbs of the capital.

Lu Ze didn’t explain further. He just walked to the crack in the wall and took out a key. He unlocked it and walked in with Lin Suisui.

After entering the courtyard, Lin Suisui realized that there was really another world inside. Although the furnishings in the room weren’t luxurious at all, they were organized and tidy.

Lin Suisui had just taken out a match and lit the candle on the table when she was shocked by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind her. She turned around and saw that the man who had brought her all the way was pale and unconscious on the ground.

“Your Highness, you-“”

Lin Suisui hurried over and squatted down to push him. As she listened to his heavy breathing, Lin Suisui’s expression immediately turned ugly. She reached out to take the pulse of the crown prince, who was still on the ground. After checking, her heart skipped a beat. His condition was quite bad!

The Crown Prince’s body still had some remnant poison. In order to escape today, he had forcefully protected her all the way through most of the capital city. At this moment, he was naturally exhausted.

It seemed that the most important thing now was to detoxify him!

After Lin Suisui helped the crown prince to the bed and settled him down, she began to search the room for something that could resolve the situation. Her efforts had paid off. Although she didn’t find anything to detoxify him, she had found something to bandage his external injuries with.

She quickly treated the crown prince’s wound again. Before she could catch her breath, dawn approached.

Seeing that the crown prince was starting to show signs of a fever and was still unconscious, Lin Suisui, who was a doctor, went to the room and found some men’s clothes. With a blush, she washed his body and changed his clothes.

There were probably no women in this house. She searched around but didn’t find anything suitable for her to wear. However, she couldn’t care less now. She chose a smaller-sized hemp garment and in the side room, she quickly changed out of her palace clothes. She wrapped the clothes that the crown prince had changed out of into a bundle and found a quiet place in the courtyard. She dug a hole and buried it.

After busying herself with cleaning up, Lin Suisui ran to the kitchen again. This time, she brought back some pot ash and branches that hadn’t been burned off when she boiled the water.

She had limited materials on hand, so she could only use these materials to camouflage herself. At this moment, she was going out to buy medicine for the Crown Prince. If she went out with her previous face, she would be looking for trouble!

She was very dexterous. After some simple camouflage, her beautiful face became like that of a servant.

After camouflaging herself, she didn’t forget the crown prince, who was still lying unconscious on the bed.

Thinking about how the they had escaped those people’s assassination attempts yesterday, she felt that the entire capital would definitely be full of chaos today! If the people from the Military Department came to patrol, there would be no one at home. If those people barged in, wouldn’t the Crown Prince be in danger?!

Therefore, she quickly repeated her old trick. After a while, the crown prince, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, looked like a sickly scholar.

After finding a pen and paper and leaving a message for the crown prince, she quickly left the small courtyard with a banknote.

Although she was unfamiliar with the surroundings, fortunately, there was a pharmacy diagonally across the alley. Lin Suisui lowered her head and brushed past a team of fully armed soldiers who were searching. She calmly walked into the pharmacy.

She handed the medicine list that she had already made at home to the shopkeeper of the pharmacy and walked out with a string of medicine bags.

Not only did Lin Suisui buy medicine, but she also bought some materials and tools that she could use now. She even bought some condiments and a cooing old hen on the way back.

It was also because of the smoke emanating from ‘him’ that the soldiers who passed by her several times didn’t notice anything.

Lin Suisui’s footsteps were neither fast nor slow, so when she passed by the crowd, she heard a lot of news from them. The news that the crown prince had committed treason and fled was no longer surprising.

What was discussed the most now was the news that the third daughter of the Left Ministry had married the fourth prince.

Since it was said that the fourth prince and the third miss were a match made in heaven, what did the fourth prince mean by stopping her on the official road?!

Pfft!

Did he want to have his feet in two boats?!

How shameless!

Lin Suisui despised the fourth prince’s shamelessness. She carefully pushed open the courtyard door and returned home. Seeing that the stone she had deliberately placed at the courtyard door was still there, she heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that no outsiders had come when she left!

She closed the door of the courtyard with ease and walked towards the room with light movements. She was still worried about the Crown Prince’s injuries and was anxious to check on his condition. Unexpectedly, as soon as she lifted the curtain and entered the door, she was grabbed by the neck by a slender hand. A huge force threw her against the wall at the side. The huge force made her back ache with pain, but before she could cry out in pain, she saw a pair of eyes that were like that of a ferocious beast.

The man’s grip tightened quickly, and what entered his ears was a whisper that sounded like that of Hades. “Who are you?!”
