Chapter 282: Beautiful Killer VS Undefeated War God Prince 25
The night was as cool as water. Xuanyuan Cheng lay on the couch with his brows furrowed and eyes closed, but he could not fall asleep.

Outside the window, the cold moon hangs high in the sky, and the cold moonlight shines through the window lattice onto the ground, like a thin layer of frost.

Whenever Xuanyuan Cheng closed his eyes, all he could see was Yu Yao risking her life to block the arrows for him.

A sweet smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes were filled with heartache.

But then, his mind involuntarily emerged the expression of Yu Yao when she came back from the toilet at the horse farm.

At that time, she was absent-minded, her eyes were always wandering, and she looked like she was worried about something.

At that time, she said she was tired and I didn't think much about it.

But on the way back, they were attacked by the royal court of the Western Regions.

Thinking that she was a dancer presented by the Western Regions Royal Court to the Kingdom of Jing...

Xuanyuan Cheng didn't want to doubt whether she had anything to do with this matter.

But the harder I tried to suppress it, the stronger this doubt became.

He turned over in annoyance, his mind was a tangled mess that he couldn't sort out.

The night wind blew quietly into the room, causing the bed curtains to sway slightly, as if mocking his sensitivity and suspicion.

He even doubted the woman he loved.

He still went to save his woman regardless of everything.

If Yaoer knew that I doubted her like this, I don't know how sad she would be.

Xuanyuan Cheng sat up, staring blankly at the dark corner, his mind filled with her every smile and frown, as well as the scene of her desperately pushing him away to block the arrow for him, with her body covered in blood.

"Yao'er, why are you so stupid?" He hugged her and asked with great heartache.

"My Lord, I am fine, and I have no regrets..."

Her face was pale, but she forced herself to smile while enduring the pain.

"My Lord, I am very happy to be able to protect you."

"Don't worry, my lord. I'm fine."

……

Xuanyuan Cheng thought of this and slapped himself hard. The loud sound of the slap was particularly clear in the night.

He felt like a psychopath, a beast, and a bastard.

A man like him doesn't deserve a woman's love at all.

He stayed awake until dawn, a sleepless night.

I don’t know how long it took, but I heard a few birds singing outside the window and the sky gradually brightened.

Xuanyuan Cheng was still immersed in his own thoughts, unable to extricate himself.

At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door. It was Li Fu's voice: "My Lord, it's time to get up."

Xuanyuan Cheng took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and replied, "Come in."

Li Fu pushed the door open with his maid, and seeing that the prince looked tired with dark circles under his eyes, he knew that he did not sleep well at night.

I thought the prince might have trouble sleeping because of the attack yesterday...

Li Fu did not ask any more questions, as it was not something he, a servant, was qualified to ask.

She just asked the maid to help the prince wash up.

Xuanyuan Cheng was being served by the maid while asking, "Li Fu, how is the situation at Mingxi Courtyard? Did Yao'er sleep well last night?"

When Li Fu heard the prince's words, he bowed slightly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have not heard of anything unusual in Mingxi Courtyard. I believe Concubine Yu should be sleeping peacefully."

Xuanyuan Cheng frowned slightly, as if he was not satisfied with the answer, but he did not say anything more.

After washing up and having a simple breakfast, he went to the study.

Start to deal with official business.

Try to distract yourself with official business so that your mind won't be filled with random thoughts.

In the Mingxi Courtyard in the backyard, Yu Yao leaned against the head of the bed, holding a silk handkerchief in her hand, but her eyes were somewhat empty.

The sunlight shone on her through the window, but she didn't feel the warmth at all.

The house she lived in was decorated elegantly and exquisitely, with carved window frames and bed curtains embroidered with exquisite patterns, all of which demonstrated the dignity of the owner.

Xiangling pushed the door open and walked in, holding a bowl of medicine. She stopped beside her and said softly, "Master, it's time to take the medicine."

Yu Yao came back to her senses, took the medicine bowl, frowned slightly, closed her eyes, and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking, he handed the bowl to Xiangling and sighed.

Xiangling saw her master sighing and asked worriedly, "Master, are you in pain? How about I ask the female doctor to come and take a look?"

Yu Yao shook her head and stopped Xiangling from calling for a female doctor.

"I am very confused. I don't know what the prince thinks of me now."

"Master, don't think too much. You shielded the prince from danger, so he must be thinking of you for your kindness. You are pregnant with his child, and once the child is born safely, as long as you don't make any big mistakes, you will enjoy a life of wealth and glory. Even if you become the princess in the future, your presence will be a part of his." Xiangling didn't know the real story, so she smiled and comforted him.

Yu Yao curled the corners of her mouth. If she didn't have the identity of a Western Region killer, she really wouldn't have to worry, relying on the grace of saving her life, the child in her belly, and Xuanyuan Cheng's feelings for her.

She even has the ability to take the position of princess.

But there happened to be a killer from the Western Regions standing between the two of them, and her purpose of coming to Jingguo was to kill Xuanyuan Cheng.

She was not sure how this man would treat her after knowing the truth.

Should he execute her as an assassin, or let her go and let her continue to stay in the backyard of the palace...

Or wait until she gives birth to the baby, and then let her go, so that they will never see each other again in their lifetime...

"I hope so, but with my status...ah, I'm always afraid that I will lose the prince's trust and favor because of this."

Yu Yao looked out the window with a complicated expression, as if there were thousands of unspeakable thoughts in her mind.

At the same time, West Wind and North Wind began to investigate everywhere after receiving the order.

Xifeng sneaked into a seemingly ordinary inn.

He pretended to be an ordinary guest, chatting with other guests in the lobby, but his ears were keenly capturing every word of the people around him.

The inn was filled with the aroma of food and the noise of guests. Xifeng drank and ate while carefully distinguishing useful information.

At the same time, Bei Feng walked into a shabby teahouse.

The teahouse was filled with people from all walks of life. He sat in a corner, quietly listening to the gossips of those gangsters, trying to find any clues related to the attack.

In addition to West Wind and North Wind, the secret agents of the Qin Palace distributed throughout the country also went out and conducted secret investigations in various ways.

As night falls, the lights are on.

Xifeng put on a black nightgown and quietly sneaked into the mansion of a wealthy businessman.

In the heavily guarded mansion, he carefully avoided the patrolling servants and sneaked into the study to look for possible secret letters or account books.

Beifeng was in an underground casino, hanging out with gamblers.

He skillfully struck up conversations with them, extracting valuable intelligence from their casual boasting and complaints.

After several days of sleepless investigation, we found a lot of useful clues.

Even the West Wind and the North Wind discovered a shocking secret.

Concubine Yu, who is extremely favored by her master, is actually a top killer secretly trained by the royal court of the Western Regions.

She is proficient in beauty, martial arts, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing.

She even received special training on how to deal with men.

The reason why he was sent to Jingguo was to assassinate his master.

This discovery frightened both West Wind and North Wind greatly.

The two once doubted the authenticity of the investigation intelligence.

But no matter how they investigate or confirm.

All clues point to the fact that Concubine Yu is the top killer trained by the Western Region Royal Court.

This matter was of great importance, so Xifeng and Beifeng did not dare to conceal it and quickly went to report to Xuanyuan City.

In the Qin Palace, the night was as dark as ink and the moonlight was thin, barely illuminating the bluestone path in the front yard leading to the study.

In the study, the candlelight flickered, illuminating Xuanyuan Cheng's stern face.

He was wearing a black brocade robe with dark gold cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs. He was busy processing a pile of official documents, and there was a barely perceptible trace of fatigue between his brows.

"Master, I have something important to report."

The sound of Xifeng sounded outside the door, with a hint of urgency and solemnity.

Xuanyuan Cheng raised his eyelids slightly and said calmly, "Come in."

He lowered his head and continued to handle official business.

Xifeng pushed the door open and walked in, holding a secret letter in his hand. It was the information he and Beifeng had collected over the past few sleepless days.

He came to Xuanyuan City and bowed, "Master, after days of investigation by me and Beifeng, we have found some clues about the attack in the dense forest that day."

Xuanyuan Cheng stopped writing, looked up at Xifeng, and motioned for him to continue.

"The black-clad men who attacked the master that day were indeed assassins from the Western Regions Royal Court. They disguised themselves as a caravan and traveled a long distance from the Western Regions to Jing Country. Their purpose was to take the master's life."

Xifeng's voice was extremely angry, and he wished he could rush to the Western Region Royal Court right now and kill those wolf cubs.

Xuanyuan Cheng's face darkened, and the wolf hair brush in his hand snapped into two.

He stood up suddenly, his wide sleeves swaying, and sneered, "It's them!"

These words seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, filled with endless anger.

Xifeng had expected that his master would be angry. He thought that the identity of Concubine Yu's killer from the Western Regions had not been reported yet. Who knows what would happen if his master knew the truth?
He suddenly got a headache.
