1542 Yaoyao, I’m Not A Saint

Yaoyao stiffened up and blinked. Only then did she realize that she had hugged his arm while she was busy laughing cheerfully. She quickly released his arm and took a step to the side to distance herself from him.

The look in Beitang You’s eyes darkened slightly when he saw this. He felt a little exasperated and disappointed about it.

Zhang Yu coughed lightly and tried speaking in a tone he imagined this Cuihua might sound like. He said to the assassin, “I heard that you were ordered to ambush the Emperor during his journey, but you failed and got captured alive. How could you be so silly and risk your life to help those people?”

The assassin’s gaze dimmed when he heard this. “I owe Prince Chen my gratitude. He needed people to work on assassinating the Emperor and I could not refuse. Cuihua, I have let you down. Don’t wait for me. You should go on and marry another man.” He began sobbing sadly after that.

The other assassins who were not fed the hallucinogen began panicking when they saw this. They wanted to stop him from talking but they were all gagged.

When Prince Chen was revealed as the mastermind, they knew that it was all over for them and everyone looked depressed.

Zhang Yu turned to look at Zhang Yu and said in shock, “They were sent by Prince Chen.” Prince Chen had always kept a low profile and was respectful to their master. It had never crossed their minds that he would do something so traitorous.

Chen Jin said furiously, “Master has always treated Prince Chen well. How could he do something like this? He has been harboring malicious intent all this time!”

“How should we handle this?” Zhang Yu asked.

Beitang You glanced at him. “We should handle this in the appropriate manner.”

Zhang Yu immediately understood when he heard this.

These people had the nerve to try killing the Master. It was only natural that his master would not allow them to live.

However, his master was conscious of Princess Yaoyao being by his side. He did not want her to witness anything violent, which was why he worded his instructions that way.

The master and servant duo had worked side-by-side for many years and had already developed a strong rapport. Zhang Yu understood his master’s intentions.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Beitang You turned away from the assassins and reached out to Yaoyao. “The carriage is ruined and can no longer be used. How about riding a horse with me?”

Yaoyao frowned; she was hesitant about this.

They had ridden on the same horse just now because of the imminent danger. Now that the assassins had been annihilated and there was no more danger, she did not really want to be in such an intimate situation with him.

She turned to look at Zhang Yu and Chen Jin.

Unfortunately for her, it seemed like both of them did not notice her looking at them. They went further away as they discussed seriously, “A few of our horses have been shot dead. The only thing we can do now is squeeze closer a little. You should give your horse to the guards who lost their mounts. We can share a horse.”

Yaoyao, “…”

It was impossible for her to take a horse to herself due to the shortage. It would be better for her to ride with Beitang You rather than share a horse with a random guard.

She sighed and reached her hand out to him

Beitang You smiled and swept his gaze at Zhang Yu and Chen Jin. He quietly promised himself to reward them.

He held Yaoyao’s hand and smiled at her as he suddenly picked her up around the waist like a child.

Yaoyao, “…”

“Don’t worry. I’m not going to eat you.” Beitang You gave her a teasing look as he carried her up the horse and later climbed up the horse as well.

He did not give Yaoyao any chance to reject him as he pulled on the reins and quickly galloped away.

Zhang Yu and Chen Jin wiped their brows at the same time.

They had given their all to create an opportunity for His Majesty to be with Princess Yaoyao.

There was actually no lack of horses. Even if there were, they could still use the horses left behind by the assassins.

Yaoyao felt awkward sitting in front of Beitang You.

She did not mind that much when they were being chased by assassins due to the circumstances. Now that she had calmed down, she felt quite self-conscious about it.

No matter how much she tried to keep a distance, she would still bump into him due to the horse galloping.

Her back was pressed against his chest. She could feel the heat coming through his clothes. This made her tense up and her body stiffened.

It was actually uncomfortable to be sitting this way. She stayed in the position a long time before she finally could not bear it any longer and she twisted her body a little in an attempt to stretch. However, Beitang You grabbed her around the waist the moment she moved. “Don’t move, Yaoyao.”

His voice was huskier than usual and it sounded like he was trying to endure something. When he spoke, it sounded like he was right by her ear. His hot breath blew into her ears, tickling and numbing her.

“Keep your distance!” She immediately exploded and berated him in a panic, pushing him away with her little hand.

However, she had just touched him when he grabbed her hand directly.

Beitang You’s eyes narrowed as he glanced at her, and he suddenly said, “Yaoyao, I’m not a saint.”
