I Married a Disabled Prince in Prison

Chapter 69

Yan Shuixin frowned, "Now that the matter has come to this, I won't deny it. I am indeed not Huang Yueniang. But it's better that you don't know my real name because it could lead to your death."

Li Youzhu thought for a moment, "Actually, I heard a man's voice in your room twice, but when I listened carefully, there was no one there."

Looking at her extraordinarily slim figure, he asked, "How can you possibly eat three bowls of rice for each meal?" He suddenly realized, with an almost certain tone, "There is a man hiding in your room."

"Since you already know, I won't hide it from you." The person who spoke was Xiao Yeheng. His figure flashed and he entered the kitchen in the next moment. In an instant, the temperature in the kitchen seemed to become colder.

Li Youzhu was just suspicious at first, but when he saw his left cheek was disfigured and his steps were slightly limp, he understood instantly. He glanced at the two of them and said, "You are the man and woman that the government officials and the men in black are looking for."

Yan Shuixin sighed, "Brother Li, why do you bother asking about this? Don't you know curiosity killed the cat?"

Xiao Yeheng's eyes were filled with murderous intent, "If that's the case, then just die!"

Condensing the real energy in his hand, and just as he was about to wave his palm, Li Youzhu quickly knelt down and said, "King An, spare my life! If I had the heart to betray you, I would have notified the magistrate today. If I could have given the magistrate important information, I would have received a reward of 10 silver coins. If I had directly contributed to the capture, I would have received a reward of three or two hundred taels of silver. But, I have no intention of earning such unscrupulous money."

Xiao Yeheng raised his thick black eyebrows and said, "Tell me, how did you know that I am King An?"

"The government officials and the gang of men in black searched for days without taking off their clothes. The county magistrate even ordered the city to be closed down. Ordinary robbers cannot garner this much effort from the government. Besides..." Li Youzhu glanced at Xiao Yeheng's appearance, "King An's left eye is a prosthetic eye, and his left cheek is disfigured. Upon closer inspection, you fit the description quite well. Although the person that the government wanted to arrest was not described as having a prosthetic eye, they probably didn't want the court to know they were arresting you."

"You are a clever man, but that will only make you die faster."

"King An, now that you are employing people, I am willing to go to the capital in person to deliver a message for you." Li Youzhu volunteered, "Please give me a way out."

Xiao Yeheng thought about it, "This is a good idea. But what about your old mother?"

"Her leg injury has mostly healed, and she can even walk on crutches. I will tell her that I'm going on a business trip with my friends, and that I'll return in two to three months. My mother can take care of herself."

Xiao Yeheng looked at Yan Shuixin, "Xin'er, what do you think?"

Li Youzhu heard him call 'Yueniang' as Xin'er. It turns out that her name is Xin'er?

Yan Shuixin took out a pill from the paper bag in her sleeve and fed it to Li Youzhu. Her voice was as calm as water, "This is chronic Chuanchang Powder. The poison will take effect in two months. You can only get the medicine for the antidote once you reach King An's Mansion in the capital. There is an antidote, but I am the only one who can make it. If you have the heart to betray me, you will die of intestinal rupture."

Li Youzhu smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, I will never be a traitor."

In fact, he volunteered to deliver the message to the capital because he knew where she was headed and just wanted to see her more. Furthermore, he also gets the opportunity to help her.
