Chapter 913: Chapter 915: Visiting to Request Help (3 more updates)
Just in that flash, a dagger cut across his face, burning with a fiery pain.
Zhou Yunshen immediately understood that the man in black did it on purpose.
By the time Teng Fei and Teng Mu arrived, the man in black shouted, "Retreat!"
He was the first to fly up to the rooftop, and the others quickly followed.
"Chase them..." Teng Fei shouted, about to follow.
"No need!" Zhou Yunshen spoke calmly.
He turned and entered the room.
Teng Fei and Teng Mu immediately followed in. Someone had already gone to fetch the Mansion Physician.
Zhou Yunshen sat on the chair, allowing the Mansion Physician to clean and apply medicine to his wounds. "Your Highness, rest assured, the wound on your body isn’t deep, but the cut on your face is quite severe. It needs proper care, or it will leave a scar!"
Zhou Yunshen looked at Teng Fei, "Go to the Yun Family and summon Princess Yijia!"
"Now?" Teng Fei asked in surprise.
"Yes!"
Zhou Yunshen’s tone was very certain. Teng Fei swallowed, then exited the room.
He went to harness the carriage to fetch Yun Jinnian from the Yun Family.
Inside the room, Zhou Yunshen looked at Teng Mu, "Teng Mu!"
"Present!"
Zhou Yunshen gestured, and Teng Mu immediately leaned in. Zhou Yunshen whispered a few words, and though Teng Mu’s expression remained unchanged, his heart was in turmoil.
As a man, he stood strong and upright.
Killing and arson wouldn’t make him bat an eyelid; he could act without hesitation even against the elderly or children if necessary.
But to lay a hand on a woman, especially one who had saved his master’s life, he suddenly understood Teng Fei’s hesitation and reluctance.
Perhaps Teng Fei harbored no romantic feelings for Yun Jinnian, but rather it was his gentlemanly demeanor at play, too much...
"If Teng Fei can’t handle this task, then you will. If you can’t handle it either, what use do I have for any of you!" After Zhou Yunshen finished speaking, and after Teng Mu left the room, he slumped gently into the chair.
He closed his eyes.
Thinking of Yun Jinnian’s unmatched beauty today, her ethereal grace, the unparalleled elegance of her glance, the dignified demeanor in every move, all were flawless, all were mesmerizing. His body involuntarily reacted, desiring to press her beneath him, to take her fiercely.
Watching her cry, watching her beg for mercy, watching her allure and juiciness...
Thinking of this, Zhou Yunshen clenched his fist, the amorous scene in his mind causing him to hum in response.
A moment later, he exhaled, "Someone!"
"Master?"
"Prepare a bath and change of clothes!"
The servant, though wanting to say it was best not to bathe with an injury, saw Zhou Yunshen’s slightly flushed face and dared not speak more, preparing hot water to assist Zhou Yunshen’s bath.
Seeing the wetness on the undergarments, the servant was too astonished to speak.
Zhou Yunshen cast a faint glance, causing the servant to immediately lower his head, daring not to think further.
"Thud, thud, thud!"
The sound of horse hooves was especially piercing in the silent night, especially after the curfew.
The patrolling guards stopped the carriage, "Who goes there?"
Teng Fei stuck his head out of the carriage, displaying a Token, "I am Guard Commander Teng Fei beside the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom. The Crown Prince has encountered an assassination attempt; I am to fetch Princess Yijia from the Yun Family to consult His Highness!"
The guard captain, having some knowledge, and recognizing Teng Fei somewhat, replied, "So it’s Guard Teng. We will escort you through!"
"Very well!"
Teng Fei responded coolly, then returned to the carriage.
The carriage was escorted by the guards to the Yun Residence.
When they knocked on the gate of the Yun Residence, the gatekeeper was startled.
"Please inform Master Yun that Guard Teng from the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom requests an audience!"
"I do not know which Master Yun you wish to see?" the gatekeeper quietly asked.
There are three Master Yuns in this residence!
