I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

Chapter 2

Assassination!

Lin Suisui glanced at the golden hairpin still inserted between the eunuch’s eyebrows. After hesitating for a moment, she obediently moved to the side of the bed. Before she could speak, she was pulled onto the bed by a strong force. She was rudely thrown onto the inside of the bed and protected behind this man who had just woken up.

The eunuch in the lead stopped breathing. When they saw the crown prince, who had regained consciousness and suddenly sat up from the bed, the remaining lackeys didn’t dare to stay any longer. They wailed for mercy and crawled out of the hall in a sorry state.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the bustling inner hall fell silent again.

Lin Suisui carefully raised her eyes and glanced at the man beside her. Even without looking up, she could feel the oppressive gaze on her. Although she didn’t feel much malice, she still didn’t dare to act rashly.

“Don’t be afraid.” The man lowered his voice, as if he was worried that he would scare her. “Those people can’t hurt you.”

The crown prince’s kindness made Lin Suisui let down her guard. Seeing that the crown prince was about to get up from the bed, she subconsciously approached him. She quickly reached out to help him up. Seeing the crown prince’s cold gaze sweep over her, she retracted her hands and carefully shrank to the side.

“Why are you hiding? Do you think I’ll eat you?!”

Seeing Lin Suisui dodge to the side like a frightened rabbit, the crown prince snorted. Although his words were filled with dissatisfaction, he didn’t make things difficult for her.

Before the two of them could say anything else, their attention was attracted by a sudden flurry of footsteps outside the hall.

Compared to the eunuch who had just rushed in and was obviously looking for trouble, the group of people who came in now looked much more serious. Of course, most importantly, the person in the lead was holding an imperial edict.

To Lin Suisui’s surprise, although the East Palace seemed to have encountered a disaster, the Emperor didn’t issue an imperial decree to sack the crown prince. Instead, he only asked the crown prince and the crown princess to immediately move to the Li Palace and reflect on their actions.

As the carriage staggered along the road out of the palace, Lin Suisui, who had been tense, heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as they didn’t continue to be trapped in the East Palace, it would be easier to find a way out than here.

Lin Suisui was thinking about what to do after leaving the palace when the carriage suddenly stopped. Her heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously looked up at the crown prince sitting opposite her.

However, before the crown prince could respond, they heard a eunuch outside the carriage report respectfully, “crown princess, the fourth prince requests to see you.”

?

Lin Suisui felt danger. However, she had no idea who the fourth prince was!

To be safe, Lin Suisui refused without much hesitation. “It’s inconvenient at this time. I’ll pass!”

The crown prince still didn’t say anything, but it was obvious that the cold and oppressive atmosphere in the carriage had dissipated. Lin Suisui heaved a sigh of relief.

It seemed that her decision was correct, but what was the relationship between the fourth prince and the original host?!

Just as she was thinking about the situation in front of her, the eunuch returned again and continued to report to the car, “The fourth prince said that he has to meet you today. If you don’t agree, he won’t leave!”

What was wrong with him?!

Lin Suisui subconsciously had a more negative impression of the fourth prince, whom she didn’t understand at all.

In these troubled times, he had come to stop her, the crown prince’s wife, who had just married into the East Palace and was even sacked. No matter what kind of relationship they had in the past, he…

“I… I’ll be back after taking a look.”

Lin Suisui realized that she had addressed him wrongly and changed her words in a panic. Then, she crawled out of the carriage like a weasel, ignoring the cold snort from the carriage behind her.

With the crown prince’s appearance, the fourth prince’s appearance was probably handsome too. However, compared to the pressure and aggression exuded by the crown prince, the fourth prince seemed much less intimidating.

“Sui Sui, are you alright?!” Seeing her, the fourth prince, who was pacing back and forth anxiously, suddenly stopped and rushed towards her happily.

Lin Suisui didn’t dare to stay long. She stopped three or four steps away from the fourth prince. Facing the loving and anxious look on his face, she really couldn’t bring herself to say anything harsh.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back.”

No matter what kind of relationship they had in the past, if he still pestered her like this after she married into the East Palace, this would no longer be affection, but causing her trouble!

Lin Suisui turned around and wanted to walk back, but the fourth prince quickly snatched her hand and stuffed a rather thick pouch into her hand. His voice was slightly choked. “I know you blame me. I… I’ve let you down!

“There’s some silver here. You went to the Li Palace in a hurry, so I didn’t have time to prepare for it. Take this silver with you first. When I find an opportunity later, I’ll think of a way to save you!”

The fourth prince seemed to be afraid that she would refuse. After stuffing the pouch, he quickly let go and turned to leave quickly, leaving Lin Suisui alone on the palace path with the pouch in her hand.

What was going on?!

Lin Suisui didn’t have time to think too much about it. She carefully hid the thick pouch in her sleeve, turned around, and climbed back into the carriage. As soon as she entered the carriage, the familiar suffocating hostility assaulted her. If she hadn’t been mentally prepared when she returned, she would have really fled.

“Have you thought about the future?”

A deep voice sounded in the carriage. He sounded neither happy nor angry, but there was a sense of intimidating pressure, as if he was a murderer waiting for his prey to take the bait and was testing the waters before pouncing.

“?”

Lin Suisui originally thought that the crown prince would be angry because the fourth prince had met with her, but he didn’t.

But even so, Lin Suisui, who had no idea what was going on, also didn’t know how to answer. She pursed her lips and was thinking about how to deal with the dilemma in front of her when the carriage suddenly stopped. Before she could react, she was pushed to the ground by the crown prince.

A series of arrows flew from all sides of the carriage. Although most of them were blocked by the carriage’s walls, many of them still shot into the carriage through the window. If the crown prince hadn’t protected her, she would have been pierced like a porcupine!
