Chapter 517 I Didn't Save You
Before the incident, she heard footsteps outside the cave and assumed it was Prince Yu returning.
Unexpectedly, a complete stranger arrived.
Judging from his clothing and appearance, he was a farmer.
He was quite surprised when he saw her, seemingly not expecting to find a woman in the middle of nowhere. He cautiously looked around, and when he was sure she was alone, he had evil intentions.
She was terrified and dared not reveal her identity, fearing that if the other party knew who she was, they would kill her instead.
She dared not show her fear, feigning composure, and took out all the silver she had, begging the other party to spare her.
But the man said, "My lady, I want more than just your money; I want you too."
She turned pale with fright and retreated helplessly as he approached, wanting to shout for help.
Even if it attracts the Northern Qi emperor's secret guards.
It's better than losing your innocence.
The man seemed to read her mind and chuckled, "Within a hundred miles, there's only our Jinyang Village. Even if you attract people, no one will come to your rescue. If you're unlucky and attract other men, you'll be bullied by one more person."
She was both shocked and frightened, and her stomach churned as she looked at the smile on the man's face.
The next moment, the man pounced on him.
She was terrified and screamed for help.
No one responded.
The man tripped her and made her fall to the ground.
She wanted to escape, but her body was weak, and she was completely paralyzed, utterly incapable of resisting. How could she accept this, to lose her chastity and die here without any dignity?
In order to survive, she pretended to be in love with Prince Yu and sought a way to live by staying by his side.
But she has already tried so hard to live, so why push her into the abyss again and again just when she sees hope?
Just when she thought she was about to be humiliated and die, Prince Yu suddenly descended from the sky and saved her from the villains.
The two looked at each other, and tears rolled down her cheeks. She wanted to speak, but no sound came out.
Only her lips opened and closed a few times.
For some inexplicable reason, Prince Yu was able to understand Princess Guangning's lip movements.
She said: You're back.
Prince Yu stared intently at her pale face. Her wet eyes were still filled with fear and helplessness, with a hint of grievance, as if she were blaming him for leaving her alone in the cave, or perhaps complaining that he had returned too late.
He leaned against the stone wall to stand up, slowly walked to her side, and offered her his hand.
Princess Guangning was deeply frightened, emotionally fragile, and very unsettled. Having escaped death, she had no one to rely on except for Prince Yu, a familiar acquaintance.
She was afraid that Prince Yu would abandon her, so from the moment he appeared, she struggled desperately to run to his side and grasp at this lifeline.
However, no matter how hard she struggled, her body remained motionless.
She was filled with despair, staring at Prince Yu with fear and unease.
Prince Yu seemed to hear her plea and, instead of abandoning her, moved closer to her.
As he drew closer, Princess Guangning was able to see his appearance clearly.
His face was covered in blood, and his eyes and brows were filled with a terrifying ferocity. His coarse cloth clothes were stained red with blood and carried a strong stench of blood. He looked like a demon from hell, which was extremely frightening.
Her first fear was the Imperial Tutor, and her second fear was Prince Yu.
Logically speaking, she should have been even more afraid of Prince Yu, who had witnessed him commit murder and appeared before her in such a terrifying manner.
Strangely, she didn't find it scary at all; in fact, she felt a strange sense of peace.
A voice inside her told her that Prince Yu would not harm her.
Princess Guangning looked at his blood-stained hands and moved her lips: "I...I can't move."
Surprisingly, it made a sound.
However, his voice was very hoarse.
The next moment, she felt a lightness in her body as the man held her in his arms.
"what--"
Princess Guangning gasped in fright and instinctively grabbed the man's clothes.
Prince Yu lowered his eyes, staring at the hand gripping his collar: "Can't you move?"
Princess Guangning released her grip on Prince Yu's clothes, ignoring his teasing, and instead hugged him tightly, burying her face in his neck.
Prince Yu had never been so intimate with another woman before, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. He frowned, and before he could put her down, he felt the woman in his arms trembling slightly, her hot tears dripping onto his neck, burning his skin.
After a moment of silence, Prince Yu did not pull her off his arms, but instead carried her quickly away from the cave.
After all, someone had died in the cave, which could very likely attract wild beasts, making it unsuitable for anyone to stay. More importantly, Princess Guangning might have encountered villains in the cave and would feel afraid and resistant to it.
Prince Yu decided to go to the ferry first and set off for the Great Zhou ahead of schedule.
Neither of them spoke a word the entire way.
After they descended the mountain, Prince Yu heard the person in his arms sniffle softly and say in a muffled voice, "Your Highness, thank you for saving me."
Prince Yu stopped in his tracks, his expression gradually becoming serious.
Back then, he was tied up and humiliated in a cave by a hunter, and he longed for someone to come and rescue him.
Save him before everything happens.
But that's until he killed the man.
The guards finally found him.
Today, he rescued Princess Guangning in the cave.
Before anything happened.
Save her.
It protected her pure and innocent soul, keeping it untainted.
But all of this has a different meaning for him.
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Prince Yu felt as if the heavy shackles binding his heart had been broken, and he felt completely relaxed.
I didn't save you.
