I just want to live a good life

Chapter 129 It's a Death Anyway

"Don't worry. The wooden box should have been put into the treasury along with the dowry. It will take some time to find it."

"Will you keep him in the general's mansion?"

"Probably not."

Su Nuan became even more anxious after hearing this.

Just as she stood up and prepared to take Xia Qingyao to the warehouse, Lily finally came back holding a wooden box.

"Little sister, what on earth did you put in there?"

"It's just some trinkets. You won't be interested."

"Sister, I'm going back today and will come to visit you another day."

After bidding farewell to Xia Qingyao, Su Nuan hurriedly left the Yongping Palace.

In the carriage, she carefully examined the wooden box in her hand, trying to recall some memories about it, but no matter how hard she tried, it was in vain.

The small copper lock on the wooden box looked delicate but was very strong. Su Nuan couldn't force it open even if she tried. She had no choice but to urge the coachman to drive the carriage as fast as possible so that she could return to the Prince's Mansion as soon as possible to use tools to open the box.

The carriage couldn't go through crowded places because it was running fast, so it took quiet paths all the way.

The distance that was supposed to take two incense sticks ended up taking a long time but we still hadn’t reached our destination.

Su Nuan was just about to ask where they were when the carriage suddenly stopped.

Then the coachman Zhao Zong lifted the curtain and put a short knife against Su Nuan's neck, "My Lady Concubine, we have arrived. Get off the carriage."

"My Lady Concubine, you'd better be obedient, otherwise don't blame me for being disrespectful to you."

Su Nuan glared at Zhao Zong fiercely, put the box in her hand on the seat, and got up and got off the carriage.

"Your Highness, it's really a good habit for you to go out without taking servants with you. It saves me a lot of trouble. I hate that girl named Bi Tao beside you the most. It's a pity that she's not here today."

As Zhao Zong spoke, he pushed Su Nuan into the side door of a house.

"I should have realized that there was something wrong with you earlier." Su Nuan said with regret, "I guess you secretly cooperated with Zhou Zhe when he kidnapped me last time. But there is one thing I don't understand. Since you secretly cooperated with Zhou Zhe, you should be his master. Why did you cooperate with me to escape?"

"Why? Of course it's because I'm not familiar with that loser! I only helped you escape because I wanted to use that loser to get rid of you."

Su Nuan's heart tightened. This Zhao Zong was plotting to kill her. It looked like today would be a dangerous day.

"Who do you belong to?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that the master wants you dead."

"What grudge does your master have against me?"

"Then you have to ask yourself."

Could it be that this is someone Xia Qingyan had offended again?

Su Nuan felt powerless.

"Originally, the master didn't intend to kill you. Keeping you by the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could help him drive away those annoying women who coveted His Royal Highness. But you actually made His Royal Highness fall in love with you. That is unforgivable."

"I was wondering who was trying to harm me, it turned out to be that male fox. If you want me to die, why don't you just kill me directly? Why did you bring me here?"

"Hahaha, look at what you said. It would be a waste to kill you directly. It would be better to let me enjoy myself before I die."

"Who gave you such courage? Do you think you can survive after harming me? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not let you go."

"It's because I can't live that I have to enjoy myself. It's worth dying to taste the Crown Prince's woman. Besides, the Crown Prince doesn't care about you right now. If I find out you're dead outside, I would have already fled the Imperial City."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Zong leaned forward and was about to kiss Su Nuan.

Su Nuan dodged hurriedly, and her neck was rubbed by the blade, and a string of blood rolled down the blade.

"My Lady Concubine, if you don't want to suffer before you die, just listen to me."

After saying that, Zhao Zong came closer again.

Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well fight this bastard to the death. No matter what, I can't let him get the upper hand.

Su Nuan gritted her teeth and slammed her head hard into Zhao Zong's chin.

With a bang, the two men collided with each other. Zhao Zong was forced to take two steps back, holding his chin and unable to speak.

Su Nuan wasn't much better off; she felt dizzy from the impact.

The first one to react was Zhao Zong. He rushed towards Su Nuan with the dagger in his hand, and whispered, "You dare to hate me even when you are about to die."

Su Nuan dodged the attack with her quick reaction and ran towards the door while shouting "Help!"

But Zhao Zong was good at martial arts, and after missing his first strike, he turned around and the short knife in his hand flew out and hit Su Nuan's shoulder.

Su Nuan endured the pain and didn't let herself fall down, continuing to run forward, but she could no longer shout for help.

He had only run a few steps when Zhao Zong caught up with him.

Zhao Zong grabbed Su Nuan's hair to prevent her from running forward.

Then he quickly walked around to Su Nuan, grabbed her collar with one hand and tried to pull it down.

Su Nuan didn't want to let this disgusting man touch her even if she died. She raised her foot and kicked Zhao Zong hard in the crotch.

She used all her strength in this kick, aiming to cripple Zhao Zong.

Unfortunately, the kick did not land effectively and Zhao Zong dodged it by turning sideways in time.

However, Su Nuan lost her balance due to the missed kick and staggered forward, almost falling into Zhao Zong's arms.

"My Lady Concubine, don't waste your energy. If you obey me, maybe I can let you live one more day."

The man approached Su Nuan with a grim smile.

Su Nuan stepped back step by step, holding a hairpin tightly in her hand under her wide sleeves.

The distance between the two people was getting closer and closer, and Zhao Zong reached out to touch Su Nuan's face.

Su Nuan seized the opportunity, suddenly jumped up, and stabbed the hairpin in her hand into Zhao Zong's eyes.

Zhao Zong covered his eyes and cried out in pain, and the next moment he reached out and grabbed Su Nuan's neck.

"you wanna die!"

Su Nuan struggled desperately, but this time Zhao Zong was very powerful. Su Nuan felt as if her neck was clamped by an iron clamp and she couldn't breathe.

She held onto Zhao Zong's hand tightly, leaving scratches on the back of his hand with her nails.

However, her shoulder injury made it impossible for her to use one hand, and her resistance became weaker and weaker.

Am I really going to die? But I still have regrets!

At the last moment of her life, Su Nuan just wanted to curse. She was reborn as a prince's concubine and it should have been a drama of house fighting and palace fighting, but why were there assassinations happening every day?

I saw that she was only breathing out but not breathing in, her face turned purple, and she was about to lose consciousness.

Suddenly, a masked man holding a dagger appeared behind Zhao Zong.

The man moved incredibly quickly, slashing Zhao Zong's neck with the dagger, and with a puff, a pool of blood gushed out.

Su Nuan only felt her face getting hot, and then the force on her neck gradually weakened and finally disappeared.

The masked man pushed Zhao Zong's body away, letting him fall to the ground, and then caught Su Nuan who fell.

The wound on her shoulder had caused too much blood loss, and coupled with the lack of oxygen to her brain, she could no longer hold on.

The masked man lowered his head and said to Su Nuan: "Don't be afraid, I won't let anything happen to you."

Although she couldn't see the man's face, the familiar feeling made Su Nuan feel safe, and she fainted while lying in his arms.
