The two of them arrived at the Pavilion, dismissed the servants, and Xia Yuhan got straight to the point.
"Prince Yile, Yu Han has come to visit without an invitation. I apologize for any disturbance this may cause. The purpose of my visit is twofold: first, to express my gratitude, and second, to inquire about the relationship between you and that person. That person is the one who secretly saved Yu Han."
"This King has never seen anyone as impatient as Yuhan!" Cang Yile deliberately teased.
His true intention was to suggest that Xia Yuhan could have waited until her injuries healed before coming.
However, Xia Yuhan seemed to misunderstand his meaning: "Your Highness, you jest. Yu Han is merely here to express gratitude; it's not as if I'm waiting to enter the Wedding Chamber!"
Cang Yile was momentarily taken aback, his charming smile freezing in an instant: "Yuhan thinks about the Wedding Chamber like this?"
Xia Yuhan had not expected Cang Yile to counter her; she discreetly assessed him: "Yu Han believes it is Your Highness who is eager for the Wedding Chamber."
Cang Yile replied, "How dare you speak to This King like that!"
Seeing Cang Yile's nonchalant demeanor, Xia Yuhan initially thought he was nothing special. However, when she followed his finger pointing subtly towards a certain direction and looked over, she discovered someone hiding not far away!
Coincidentally, that area had a garden where someone squatting in a corner would definitely not be easily noticed.
It turned out that she had misunderstood him earlier!
Xia Yuhan quickly whispered in a tone only they could hear, "Is this how Your Highness usually lives?"
"This King has long been accustomed to it," he replied, glancing back with a wickedly charming smile, exuding an air of invincibility.
"Yuhan, I do know that person you mentioned. He has always been quite arrogant, stubbornly believing that This King needs Yu Han to save him. However, he does have the capital to be arrogant; I have no choice but to rely on him!"
Xia Yuhan was shocked; this outcome was something she had never anticipated: "Why? How could this happen? Your Highness is still a prince of the Azure Dragon Kingdom; why would you obey a mysterious person? Moreover, that mysterious person wants Yu Han to assist you—doesn't that sound ridiculous? After all, Yu Han is just a mere woman."
“Yuhan, there are many unavoidable choices in a person's life.” Cang Yile said this calmly, as if his tragic background had nothing to do with him.
“What does the prince plan to do next? How does Yu Han fit into this?”
Cang Yile handed over the treasure in Xia Yuhan's hand, casually playing with it. In response to Xia Yuhan's question, he countered, “Xia Yuhan, would you like to make a deal with This King?”
Xia Yuhan hesitated a bit; she didn't want to get too entangled with the nobility, as one misstep could lead her into an irretrievable situation.
Seeing Xia Yuhan's hesitation, Cang Yile did not push her: “This deal isn't easy to make. If you agree, This King will not only help you uncover the truth you've always wanted but will also assist you in establishing your footing in Xia Manor. No, it’s that person who will help you. Of course, uncovering the truth will take time.”
“Prince Yile, Yu Han really wants to know what relationship the prince has with that mysterious person?”
“He is he, and I am I! It's just that he is powerful enough to be This King's wings. What can This King do? Being manipulated by him isn’t necessarily a bad thing; at least that person has a good nature. You might want to consider it.”
Xia Yuhan did not expect that despite being in adversity, Cang Yile remained so open-minded.
After deep contemplation, Xia Yuhan slightly opened her mouth: “Prince, what kind of deal are we talking about?”
A faint smile of bitter appeared on Cang Yile's face: “Are you sure you want to do this? This deal was proposed by that person; This King has no ability to make any deal with you, in other words, I have no ability to protect you…”
“Prince, you are too humble. Yu Han truly wants to know who set up such a grand scheme behind the scenes. Yu Han also knows that relying solely on her own abilities to uncover the truth could take an indefinite amount of time. If there is external assistance at the first opportunity, regardless of who it is, even if it costs Yu Han her life, she would not hesitate!”
Cang Yile looked past Xia Yuhan, pretending to be indifferent while playing with the treasure she had sent: “Oh? The truth is that important to you?”
“If I don’t know the truth, I will never know who the real Puppet Master is. The enemy is in the light while I am in the dark; if I strike, Yu Han will be defenseless and will always hover on the brink of life and death.”
In his heart, Cang Yile muttered: she really is a reckless woman!
“Yuhan, aren’t you being too impatient? This King hasn’t even specified what this deal entails.”
“Prince Yile, no matter how big the deal or how dangerous it is, it won't put Yu Han in too much life-threatening danger.”
It was nothing more than signing a contract of servitude...
However, she did not voice this thought. Furthermore, she also kept silent about her plan to use Cang Yile and the power of the mysterious person behind Cang Yile to deal with Canglong Hui. Xia Yuhan would not mention it either!
To make a deal with her, Xia Yuhan, the price would still be quite heavy!
If she had to pay a heavy price during the transaction, then Cang Yile, your cost would be several times that of Xia Yuhan!
She had never casually made deals with others; signing a contract of servitude was merely a way to strengthen her own power.
Moreover, she had just established herself at Xia Manor and had no strength at all. Since there was such a strong backing outside, why should she humiliate herself by relying on the mysterious person? At least during this time, she would be safe!
After hearing Xia Yuhan's words, Cang Yile smiled even more charmingly!
“Deal! Then it's settled! The transaction must be done slowly, one step at a time. You think of a way to find a suitable reason for keeping This King here. This King has to busy himself with flowers and plants, creating distractions. First update.”
Xia Yuhan understood. She glanced at the surroundings and noticed that she had lingered too long at Xia Manor, so she quickly bowed deeply to Cang Yile and prepared to leave.
“By the way, Prince Yile, on that day at the royal Palace Gate, whether it was the prince's voluntary help to Yu Han or if you were instructed by the mysterious person, Yu Han is very grateful for your assistance! Today, I have disturbed you too much; I take my leave!”
“Yuhan, you are being polite; this is merely part of my duty, so do not worry about it!”
As they were talking, suddenly strong and menacing figures in black clothes surged in from all directions...
For these people, Cang Yile felt no fear and frowned in displeasure: Were they here to test how high his martial arts skills really were? How ridiculous! But since you all think that This King is not skilled and only knows a little bit of martial arts, then This King will fulfill your wishes!
Upon seeing the appearance of the mysterious black-clad experts, Xia Yuhan immediately tightened her grip on the Hidden Weapon at her side and quickly moved closer to Cang Yile.
In a moment of urgency, Xia Yuhan anxiously asked Cang Yile: “My lord, do you know martial arts?”
Cang Yile pretended to be slightly flustered, speaking rapidly, "Do you know martial arts? How long can you hold on? This King can't last much longer!"
Xia Yuhan quickly assessed the situation and made a decision in a short time: "I don't know how long we can hold out, but we can take a bold chance! Prince, let's stand back to back. There are six attackers, and they are very skilled. If they decide to attack, they will do so together."
"Prince, there are two people to your left front. They are slightly built and lack momentum. Compared to the other four men in black, they seem a bit unstable. Just hold onto me and charge at those two!"
"How can I fight while holding you?"
Xia Yuhan had no time to waste on Cang Yile's complaints and simply dove into his arms: "Prince, please trust Yu Han this time! Attack now! Quickly!!"
"Alright! This King will follow your lead!"
With a loud shout, Cang Yile charged towards the two slightly built men in black.
At that moment, the other black-clad figures rushed in from all directions, surrounding them completely.
Xia Yuhan, tightly held in Cang Yile's embrace, dared not be careless. She seized the opportunity when the other four black-clad men converged from all sides, preparing to attack Cang Yile from behind. Xia Yuhan unexpectedly raised her right hand, and with a whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, four hidden weapons were launched!
Immediately after, the four black-clad men behind them fell to the ground dead before they even realized how it happened.
Originally, when Cang Yile sensed the intense killing intent approaching from behind and was preparing to counterattack, he did not expect Xia Yuhan to act faster than him!
The remaining two black-clad men saw their companions die inexplicably and, in their rage, unleashed their full strength with deadly moves!
After using hidden weapons to kill those four men, Xia Yuhan suddenly felt her strength waning. Coupled with her serious injuries and just having awakened, her body was extremely weak at that moment!
Cang Yile remained calm. After setting Xia Yuhan down with apparent effort, he engaged in a fierce battle with the two remaining black-clad men for several rounds before finally killing one of them and injuring the other. He deliberately let the injured man escape to report back to his master!
In truth, if he had used his true strength, he could have dispatched all six black-clad men in the blink of an eye!
After tidying up the aftermath, the guards of the Wangfu arrived. Cang Yile coldly laughed to himself, then disregarded everyone and walked towards Xia Yuhan.
He couldn't believe that Xia Yuhan had single-handedly killed four skilled assassins in black with hidden weapons in an instant!
"Yuhan, are you okay?"
Xia Yuhan lay on the grass, feeling a bit dizzy. Seeing that Cang Yile was unharmed, she finally felt relieved. "Yu Han is fine, just some wounds reopened. As long as the prince is okay, that's good. The assassin's sword was coated with deadly poison!"
"Alright, Yuhan, from now on don't say anything. This King will call a doctor for you right away; you won't die from poisoning! Quickly, someone!"
The situation was not yet resolved; how could Xia Yuhan die? It was all his fault for being careless and believing her words without protecting her in time!
Xia Yuhan hurriedly grabbed Cang Yile's sleeve and said with great effort, "No, no, I'm not poisoned. I just smelled the deadly poison on the sword."
