This voice calling Jinnian.
Nalan Jinlian heard it clearly.
It wasn’t Jinlian, although the sound was somewhat similar, it was definitely different.
Moreover, the voice of Prince Rui, Chu Yu, was filled with urgency, a sincerity and genuine fear and concern that she could feel. Even the hand holding her waist was trembling.
What happened afterward, Nalan Jinlian had no memory of it all.
When she woke up again, it was in the bedroom of Qinglian Garden.
The room was lit, and she wanted to sit up slowly, but she couldn’t muster any strength.
Her mouth was bitter.
They fed her medicine, but what medicine was it?
A few maids were moving around, and Nalan Jinlian felt she should recognize them, but somehow didn’t.
"Miss, what’s wrong?" Juan Ye asked softly.
Nalan Jinlian shook her head, "Who are you?"
Juan Ye was instantly frightened into tears, "Madam Qin, Madam Qin, come quickly, the Miss doesn’t remember me!"
Soon, a woman hurried in, "Miss, you’re awake. Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable?" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel★fire.net
Looking at the person in front of her, Nalan Jinlian shook her head.
Nalan Jinlian, she is Nalan Jinlian, but who is Jinnian?
Her mind was a mess, seemingly remembering something, but it was too blurry to recall anything.
Who is the person in front of her?
Just hesitating, outside came the sounds of fighting, Madam Qin’s face changed dramatically, and she quickly reached out to pull Nalan Jinlian, saying, "Miss, quickly, come with me!"
"Yes, those people outside have come to kill you, Miss, we must leave!" Madam Qin said, not caring for Nalan Jinlian’s will, pulling her out of bed without even putting on shoes or clothes.
A dark figure entered the room, and several maids immediately attacked him, only Juan Ye was scared and hid under the table.
Nalan Jinlian watched as he swiftly killed those maids with his sword, reaching out to her, "Jinnian, come, I’ll take you away!"
"In your dreams!" Madam Qin shouted angrily, protecting her behind.
Nalan Jinlian looked at him, seeing him entirely wrapped in black, revealing only a pair of deep, dark eyes.
"I am Nalan Jinlian!"
"No, you are not Nalan Jinlian, you are Yun Jinnian. Jinnian, come, I’ll take you away from here, back to your true home!"
A true home? Could it be this is not her home?
To be honest, she remembered nothing, only knowing she was called Nalan Jinlian, as if someone constantly whispered it in her ear, otherwise she couldn’t remember.
Madam Qin wanted to say something else but was kicked away by the man in black, and as he reached to grab her, Nalan Jinlian screamed, "No, I won’t go with you!"
But no one listened to her, she was wrapped in a cloak smelling of blood, embraced by the man’s left hand, taken out of the room.
Nalan Jinlian had never seen such slaughter, the courtyard was filled with bodies, many men in black fighting desperately against those entering, while outside people fell one after another, charging in relentlessly.
Mouth agape, not knowing what to say, only feeling her stomach churning, she suddenly vomited.
Vomit splattered all over the man in black.
Yet he wasn’t disgusted, rather he lifted his sword-wielding hand, gently wiped her mouth with the back of his hand, and softly murmured, "Don’t be afraid, I’ll take you home, never to lose you again!"
He used his body to shield her from the killing behind, no longer letting her see the bloody scene.
Nalan Jinlian looked at him, in her eyes only seeing his tender, entangled eyes, asking word by word, "Who are you?"
