I Have a Secret to Tell Your Highness

"Don't be afraid, Your Highness. I will protect you, even if it costs me my life!" In Ji Beichen's astonished gaze, Gu Shiyan descended upon him like a celestial fairy, throwing herself at him to block the fatal blow.

"Splurt..." The sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out.

The next moment. Blood splattered in a horrifying sight.

Gu Shiyan fell weakly into Ji Beichen's arms. The girl's face turned pale, her breath feeble, as if she could pass away at any moment. "You..." Ji Beichen looked at her with immense shock, momentarily unable to speak.

His guards had caught up by now and began to engage in combat with the assassins. The leader of the assassins stared at his sword in a daze, cursing in his mind. How did his sword become dull? Did he injure the little girl? Or did the little girl sabotage his sword? He wished someone could tell him!
