The Queen’s Husband Chapter 34

The night came quickly. In the dark blue night sky, the stars hang far away in the sky, blinking mischievously.

 

In the carriage, after a tiring day, Yu Xinruo was fighting hard to keep her eyes open. Xiaoli and Xing’er, sitting opposite her, had also dozed off.

 

Qu Yang, who was sitting next to her, had a stern face. Yu Xinruo rolled her dark eyes, with a sly smile, tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder, pretending to be asleep. This cold young man seemed to be much gentler to her today.

 

Qu Yang glanced sideways at her, a faint fragrance drifted over to his nose, and his heartbeat could not help but fluctuate slightly.

 

The long black and curled eyelashes, the pretty nose, the pink tender skin, the attractive cherry mouth, such a quiet, soft but charming sleeping face. When she was awake, she could not stay quiet for a moment, chattering like a naughty child. She was so quiet and graceful when she was asleep, like a fairy who doesn’t belong to this world.

 

Qu Yang quietly stretched his hand behind her to separate her from the hard wall of the carriage. His cold eyes showed a touch of tenderness, and he continued to admire the pretty face so close to him.

 

Previously, when he heard people talk about the shamelessness of the former Queen, he was always indifferent because he felt that it didn’t concern him. But reality is so strange, and fate is so wonderful. There were so many beautiful girls from aristocratic families trying to woo him, but he ignored them all because, from the bottom of his heart, he despised those women who judged people by their appearance. Although Yu Xinruo was doing the same thing, he felt differently about her, she actually touched his heart!

 

Thinking of this, his eyes darken. He stared at the beautiful sleeping face in front of him, stretched out his hand to touch his face, and secretly wondered whether what she liked and cared about was just him or just this stunning face.

 

In his heart, he felt inexplicable worry and became depressed.

 

Yu Xinruo was only pretending to be asleep, but she couldn’t resist and fell asleep shortly. In her sleep, she muttered a few times, rubbed Qu Yang’s shoulder dissatisfiedly, and changed to a more comfortable position.

 

Qu Yang looked at her closed eyes, hesitated for a moment, then gently let her down comfortably in his arms.

 

However, at this moment, the horse pulling the carriage suddenly neighed loudly, the carriage shook violently twice and suddenly started running forward like crazy.

 

Qu Yang was startled and screamed inwardly. He quickly shook Yu Xigruo awake. Before she could ask questions, he had already gotten out of the carriage.

 

Xiaoli and Xing’er were also awakened and asked confusedly: “Miss, what happened?”

 

Yu Xinruo shook her head in confusion. She suddenly woke up when she noticed that Qu Yang was missing. She stuck her head out the window and screamed: “Qu Yang! Qu Yang! What happened!”

 

The sharp night wind, the violent bumps and the sudden acceleration of the carriage made her feel uneasy.

 

“It’s okay! Princess, stay in the carriage!”

 

Qu Yang’s cool and calm voice came along with the speeding night wind, which made Yu Xinruo’s worried heart calm down a little and she retracted her head, but she still felt that something was wrong.

 

Xiaoli and Xing’er clenched their hands in fear, with a flash of panic in their eyes. They looked at Yu Xigruo and said, “Miss, is Master Qu driving in front? The speed is so scary! By the way, where is the driver? Where has he gone, how can he let Master Qu drive the car!”

 

Yu Xinruo was frowning and thinking. Her expression changed when she heard this. She finally realized what was wrong! If the driver was fine, Qu Yang would not have run ahead and driven the car! Last time in the bathroom, she already knew that Qu Yang was good at martial arts. The carriage was running at a speed that was almost crazy and out of control. How could a person with good martial arts skills not be able to control a horse? This only means one thing, there is danger out there!

 

Thinking of this, Yu Xinruo’s heart skipped suddenly. She suppressed her fear and told Xiaoli and Xing’er not to move. She leaned out the window to see where are the carriage of the emperor and the seventh prince.

 

A bright oil lamp was lit in front of her carriage. As she looked back and forth, she couldn’t see the shadow of the other two carriages at all! Except for the echo from the wheels of the carriage on this empty mountain road, there was no other sound at all!

 

“Qu Yang! Did something happen? Why are the carriages of the Emperor and the Seventh Prince missing!” Yu Xinruo shouted to the night sky, but her eyes immediately widened in horror!

 

A towering mountain was approaching, and the carriage was about to hit the hard mountain wall!

 

“Ah——! Qu Yang! Be careful!” Yu Xinruo was so frightened that she closed her eyes and shouted.

 

The night wind that was rushing towards here stopped suddenly.

 

Yu Xinruo had closed her eyes for a long time, but she didn’t feel like she was being shattered into pieces. She couldn’t help but felt strange. She was about to open her eyes when she heard Qu Yang’s weak voice coming into her ears: “Princess…”

 

“Miss, has something happened to Master Qu?” Xiaoli said in a frightened voice.

 

Yu Xinruo opened her eyes suddenly, opened the carriage door and jumped out.

 

“Qu Yang! Qu Yang! You’re injured! Are you okay!” Yu Xinruo saw him lying on the ground with his eyes closed and his face pale. She was shocked and ran over quickly to him and shouted urgently.

 

His white clothes were stained red with blood in the abdomen area, He was indeed injured!

 

Yu Xinruo was shocked and frightened. The eye-catching blood stung her eyes. His face was so pale that it was almost transparent as if he would disappear from her eyes at any moment. She subconsciously hugged him tighter and called out his name repeatedly.

 

Xiaoli and Xing’er heard something was wrong and quickly jumped out of the carriage. When they saw the dead horse and Qu Yang, whose clothes were stained with blood lying in Yu Xinruo’s arms, they were even more shocked!

 

“Miss, why is Master Qu injured? Is there an assassin?” Xiaoli and Xing’er asked in shock.

 

Yu Xinruo didn’t answer, her bright eyes stared closely at Qu Yang’s closed eyes. She suddenly felt hollow in her heart and wanted to cry.

 

Qu Yang opened his eyes slowly and saw that pretty face full of worry, as well as those sad eyes. He couldn’t help but feel warm in his heart, and the wound on his abdomen seemed to be less painful.

 

“I, it’s nothing, you don’t have to worry…” After coughing twice, he forced a faint smile at her.

 

“You have lost so much blood, how can you be alright! How can I not worry!” Yu Xigruo shouted angrily, her voice ferocious, but there was concern in her tone.

 

He was shocked and looked at her blankly, but an inexplicable joy surged into his heart. Her face, her eyes, her expression, and her words all reveal her sincere concern and worry for him. Is the reason why she cares about him more than just his appearance?

 

He heard a tearing sound, when Qu Yang looked up, he saw Yu Xigruo tearing the hem of her clothes to wrap it around his injured abdomen trying to stop the bleeding.

 

“Xiaoli, Xing’er, go and check if there is anyone else around here, so they can help us.”

 

“Yes, miss!” Xiaoli and Xing’er looked at each other and replied quickly. They were at the end of a mountain wall, so they had to track back to the original path to check. After walking for a distance, they felt that they might be quite far away from Yu Xinruo. The surroundings were still pitch dark. As Xiaoli looked around, the undulating mountains were like a giant wilderness, as if it could swallow her up at any time. She shrank her neck in fear and said tremblingly: “Xing’er, let’s go back. This place is so remote and there is no sound. How can there be anyone here?”

 

Xing’er was also very scared. She held Xiaoli’s hand tightly and nodded in agreement, “I think so too. Let’s go back and report to the lady.”

 

  “Yes.”

 

The two held hands and hurried back. After taking only for a few steps, they heard the sound of horse hooves galloping towards them in the distance behind them. There was also an urgent shout: “Xinruo! Yu Xinruo! Qu Yang! Where are you!”

 

The voice turned out to be Jun Yilie’s!

 

When Xiaoli and Xing’er heard the sound, they couldn’t help but be overjoyed. They quickly put their hands into a trumpet in front of their mouths and responded loudly: “Your Majesty! We are here! Your Majesty, Master Qu is injured. Please come and save us!”

 

After the wound was tied up, Yu Xinruo stretched out her hand to straighten Qu Yang’s somewhat messy long hair, and asked with a pout, “Tell me, what’s happened? You were fine a moment ago, how did you get injured?”

 

Qu Yang looked at her quietly, with a faint smile: “I don’t know what happened too. The carriage suddenly ran out of control. I felt something was wrong, so I jumped into the driver’s seat to take a look. I was stabbed by the driver with a dagger unsuspectedly?”

 

Yu Xinruo said angrily: “What a bold coachman! Where is he? I must teach him a lesson!”

 

Qu Yang smiled and said: “I have already knocked him off the carriage, and he is probably dead now.”

 

“That’s good! Huh, this is too easy for him to die like this!” Yu Xigruo said, suddenly staring into his eyes, and said, “By the way, isn’t this coachman a servant of your Qu Mansion? How dare him to assassinate you?”

 

Qu Yang shook his head, frowned, and said: “No, he is not the coachman who came with us. Although there are many people in the Qu family, I basically know them all.”

 

Yu Xinruo also frowned, “That’s really strange. Could it be that someone wanted to assassinate us, so they changed the original driver?”

 

Qu Yang’s eyes flashed and he still shook his head.

 

At this moment, the surprised voices of Xiaoli and Xing’er came through the night sky: “Miss! Miss! We are saved! The Emperor and the Seventh Prince are here!”

 

When Yu Xinruo and Qu Yang heard this, they felt relieved.

 

Qu Yang took Yu Xinruo’s little hand, put it to his lips and kissed her gently, looked at her deeply, and said softly: “Xinruo, I am sorry to make you worry.”

 

This time he called her not her title, but her name, Xinruo.

 

Yu Xinruo’s heart was shaken, and she stared at him blankly, an uncontrollable joy rising from the bottom of her heart. He, he actually called her name! Does this mean that he is finally willing to accept her?

 

When the two of them looked at each other, the slightly sarcastic voice of the Seventh Prince Jun Aoyun sounded in his ears: “Oh, oh, Mr. Qu is injured, but he still has the mood to flirt with our princess. Isn’t this so romantic?”

 

Qu Yangjun’s face turned red. A little embarrassed, he let go of Yu Xinruo’s hand and lowered his eyes slightly.

 

A blush suddenly appeared on Yu Xinruo’s cheeks. She turned around and glared at Jun Aoyun fiercely: “Seventh Prince, are you a hedgehog? No matter what you say, they are so prickly!”

 

But unexpectedly, she caught a glimpse of Jun Yilie’s wrinkled handsome face looking concernly at her. She immediately stopped talking and snorted coldly.

 

After just one glance, Jun Yilie withdrew his gaze from her and rushed over. Seeing that Qu Yang was injured in the abdomen, his expression changed and he asked: “What’s going on? Why are you injured!”
