The air in the winter was bitingly cold. When the man said these words, the anger on his body subsided, and his pure eyes fell on Li Huang.
She seemed to be burned by this gaze, and quickly looked away. She sneered coldly, straightened her sleeves and sat down aside, "I don't even know your last name, where you live, and how many people are in your family. How can I keep you here?"
Are you around?"
"I don't have a name."
"For a person without a father or mother, a name is a very luxurious thing. As you can see, I have nothing, and my job is to lick blood with a knife. It is God's blessing that I can survive to this day."
"If the princess is willing to keep me, who I am and what my name will be depends on you."
The young man's tone was calm, and he tore himself apart and spread it into pieces in front of Li Huang.
Just wait for her answer.
Li Huang was stunned for a moment. Why did she feel sad when she heard this?
It was as if someone had said the exact same words to her before.
She took a deep breath, the cold breath went straight into her lungs, and she felt a little more awake.
"I have said that I will not raise idle people."
"good."
He didn't say anything else, he just cupped his fists, saluted Li Huang, tapped his toes, and jumped out of sight.
With this kind of skill, even Mu Feng wouldn't be able to match him even one-tenth of the way.
After the young man left, Li Huang didn't think much about it, just thinking that he had quit in spite of difficulties.
However, at night, Li Huang took an early rest.
Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound in the hall, as if something heavy hit the ground.
Li Huang was not asleep at first, but when he heard the noise, he got up smartly.
But the scene before her eyes made her a little bit dumbfounded.
"What's this?"
She pointed at the man in black clothes who was tied up on the ground, and quiet eyes widened in surprise.
The young man took out a clean handkerchief, wiped his hands with a look of disgust, and said calmly: "The assassin who slipped through the net yesterday."
"What?" Li Huang was shocked, "Weren't all the assassins from yesterday silenced?"
"Yesterday he was giving instructions in the dark. I didn't chase him after he escaped."
The young man didn't say much. After he finished speaking, he kicked the man in the lower abdomen. The man's facial features were distorted by the pain. He hurriedly curled up and begged for mercy: "Master, please forgive me! Yesterday, we received a temporary business, and it was said that it was for free.
We intercepted and killed one person, and that person was rewarded handsomely, so I couldn't hold it back, so I agreed!"
But who knew that the person who wanted to intercept and kill was the current eldest princess!
Li Huang's sleep instantly faded away, and his eyes instantly condensed, "How did you know that I would go to Duke Anguo's Mansion yesterday?"
The man hugged himself bitterly and said in pain: "The employer told me that I only need to wait there. I just get paid to do things. How did I know that the person in this carriage is Her Royal Highness?"
In fact, even if the assassin was not found, Li Huang already had the answer in his heart.
The journey from the palace to the eldest princess's residence only takes a stick of incense, and no assassin would be stupid enough to commit an assassination on this road.
Yesterday, she had not decided to go to Pingyang Hou's Mansion in advance. But these people obviously intercepted and killed her on the way to Pingyang Hou's Mansion.
Therefore, the person behind the scenes can only be someone close to her who knows her well and understands her.
Besides Li Chuchu, who else would have the courage to attack her?
The young man only glanced at Li Huang, and with just one glance, he seemed to see through what Li Huang was thinking.
"What does the princess plan to do with these people?"
Li Huang raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man with some surprise.
He is quite smart.
Even if the truth of this matter is investigated, even if these people are given a hundred courages, they will not dare to bite the princess.
So Li Huang had no intention of getting to the bottom of it, he just wanted to teach him a lesson.
Unexpectedly, this young man could directly guess what she was thinking.
Li Huang calmly withdrew his gaze and said two words: "It's up to you."
"good."
Without a word of nonsense, the man directly picked up the person on the ground and dragged him out like a dead body.
Just as he walked to the door, Li Huang's slightly deep voice suddenly came from the hall: "From today on, your name is Ning Qi."
Ning Qi?
The young man turned his head, hesitating for just a moment. Even when he realized that Li Huang was about to let him go, there was not too much joy on his face, and he just responded calmly: "Okay."
After that, he left without looking back.
The night is as dark as ink, and the cold weather can turn your breath into ice.
In the second princess's house, Li Chuchu got up from the bathtub, and the servants quickly wrapped her in a blanket. Before she could change her clothes, suddenly, there was a "crash" in the bathtub behind her.
Li Chuchu turned around sharply, and immediately let out an "ah" sound, and screams echoed through the sky.
"Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"
…
Early the next morning.
As soon as Li Huang stood up, he saw Ling Yuan rushing in with an angry face.
"What's wrong? Who's giving you a break this early in the morning?"
Li Huang rubbed his eyebrows and glanced at Ling Yuan, whose face was red with anger, in a funny way and asked.
When mentioning this tea, Ling Yuan was filled with resentment: "My servant heard that last night, a dead mouse fell into the bathtub while the second princess was taking a bath. The second princess was so frightened that she summoned the imperial doctor overnight. I don't know.
Where did this rumor come from? It must be that Your Highness deliberately teased the Second Princess, which frightened the Second Princess."
Dead rat?
This damn rat is pretty good at picking places to drop it.
Li Huang raised the corners of his lips and smiled nonchalantly: "You should have gotten used to this kind of thing a long time ago, so don't take it to heart."
"But I feel aggrieved for Your Highness! Every time the second princess encounters any disaster, she throws dirty water on your head. How many grievances have you suffered over the years because of these rumors?"
The reason why Li Chuchu dared to shirk the blame so openly was because she relied on someone to protect her. Even if that person hadn't returned to Beijing, he would know the news about her as soon as possible.
Thinking of that person, Li Huang's eyes dimmed.
In ten days, he will return to Beijing, right?
Li Huang took a deep breath and said calmly: "There is no need to dress up today. Go get me a set of simple clothes."
In the past, Li Huang's makeup was exquisite and luxurious, showing the air of an eldest princess, but today she did not wear a hairpin, and simply tied up her dark hair with a piece of silk.
Before daybreak, Li Huang came to the martial arts arena alone.
In the middle of the martial arts arena, stood a tall figure.
Black robes and black hair, jade trees facing the wind.
As soon as Li Huang walked to the martial arts arena, Ning Qi noticed her aura. He turned around and met Li Huang's gaze.
The young man has a handsome appearance. Facing the light of the morning sun, half of him is shrouded in a faint halo, like a dream.
"Why are you here?"
Li Huang paused and looked at Ning Qi in surprise.
If she remembered correctly, he was still injured. Although he was covered up by a black robe yesterday, Li Huang's sense of smell was naturally sensitive, and the smell of blood on his body was strong. If he hadn't killed someone, he could only
It was his wound that split open. How could he still get up after such a serious injury?
Ning Qi ignored Li Huang's question, turned around and took out a long sword from the weapon rack nearby and threw it to her, "Didn't the princess say she doesn't want to raise idle people?"
"But I have no intention of abusing the injured."
"This injury is nothing." Ning Qi's expression was indifferent, and she really couldn't see anything wrong. But Li Huang clearly noticed that his movements were a little slow, but he didn't even blink, just like those
It’s like the injury is not on you.
Li Huang walked up to him, and there was a pleasant cold fragrance on his body. It was not like the incense that a young man from aristocratic families would use every day, but more like it had been immersed in some special environment and developed over time.
"Does it hurt?"
"No problem."
Li Huang narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone: "I hate people who lie the most."
Mo Jingzhan's eyelashes trembled and he raised his eyes to look at Li Huang.
"Does it hurt?"
Li Huang asked him again.
The young man frowned, hesitated for a moment, and unexpectedly said, "It hurts."
"It's okay if it hurts." Li Huang took out a bottle of medicine and threw it to him, saying, "Since you want to stay with me, it's better to recover from the injury as soon as possible."
"good."
Li Huang was satisfied with his attitude. After explaining, he asked him to change the dressing.
Although she wanted to regain her martial arts skills, she knew that this was not something that could be accomplished in a short period of time. First, she had to improve the delicate body she had developed over the past few years. In order to be the woman that Gu Chenzhou likes, she has learned to be dignified over the years.
Wen Jing put aside her own preferences and became something she didn't like.
Now that I think about it, I just find it ridiculous.
The sun is rising and the weather is getting slightly warmer.
Yunwai Building has a sign posted today and is closed for business.
In the house on the top floor, there was suddenly a burst of ghostly crying and howling: "What did you say? You work as a guard in the princess's mansion?"
Fortunately, the soundproofing effect of Yunwai Building is very good, otherwise Xiao Yunlan's screams that shocked the heavens and earth would have woken up the ancestors buried underground.
The beauty opposite slumped down, the young man's body was slightly tilted, and he was playing with a glass cup worth a thousand gold with his fingertips, and a faint sound escaped from his throat.
This neither salty nor bland voice made Xiao Yunlan feel like he was struck by lightning. He immediately knelt on the ground and said without tears: "My eldest son, you are the son of Prince An. If the Three Continent God of War knew that in the capital city, I
If you are taken care of like this, you will definitely come to destroy me in turn! Not only the God of War of the Three Continents, but also the disciples of the World Academy and the spitting stars can drown him!"
