As soon as his neck felt cold, a cold dagger was pressed against Li Huang's neck.
The young man's cold and stern voice came from behind, as if a pair of hands were lifting Li Huang out of the dark wontons.
She opened her eyes suddenly and gasped for air.
Behind him, the young man turned pale and asked with a half-smile: "I heard that the princess is looking for me?"
Li Huang came to his senses and his breathing calmed down.
There was a strong smell of blood in the air, and it seemed that the wounds on the young man's body were open.
She raised her lips and pretended to be calm: "You were injured because of me. If you die because of this, I will feel guilty."
"lie!"
The dagger suddenly went low and drew a bloody mark on Li Huang's slender neck.
"Presumptuous..." Li Huang was annoyed and wanted to grab the dagger around his neck.
Unexpectedly, the young man suddenly took a step back as if he had expected it. Li Huang caught the opportunity, stood up suddenly, and was about to stab the man with the hairpin.
However, as soon as she stood up, her chest felt cold...
"ah!"
She sat back quickly, crossed her arms over her chest, and glared at the boy angrily.
She has never been so embarrassed in her life!
This stinky gangster is despicable and shameless!
She gritted her silver teeth and said angrily, "Turn around, I want to change my clothes!"
The young man seemed a little surprised by her reaction, but he was a gentleman and actually turned his back. At the same time, he grabbed the pocket of Li Huang's clothes and threw it in her face.
Li Huang quickly tightened his clothes, and when the man's back was turned to her, he was about to yell for someone when he heard the young man's lazy voice in front of him.
"Want me to call someone for you?"
"..."
He has eyes on his back!
Li Huang was angry and scared. What she was angry about was that her majestic princess mansion allowed a strange man to come and go freely, and no one in the palace's secret guards noticed it!
What she was afraid of was that the knife in the boy's hand would cut her neck open before she called anyone.
After trying to pass, Li Huang became much calmer. She put on her clothes and sat down on a stone beside her calmly, "What was the reason for the injury this time?"
The boy's answer was simple: "Fight."
"Fighting? Are you being hunted?"
Hearing Li Huang's words, the young man twitched his lips and said, "You are very smart. It's just that if you were smarter, you could easily lose your life."
"..."
You really deserve the beating!
Li Huang muttered angrily. Seeing that the man had no intention of kidnapping her to leave, she was a little unsure of his intentions for a moment.
So, she asked tentatively: "If you are being hunted, I can send someone to escort you away."
"No need."
"Then you leave on your own, and I promise not to call anyone."
"no."
Li Huang was annoyed, "I can't even send you away, and you don't want to leave on your own. What do you want?"
The young man seemed not to notice Li Huang's anger, and said confidently: "I will stay here for the night."
Is he staying overnight? This is clearly coercion!
"Do you think that all the guards in my palace are working for a living? Do you want you to stay here? I don't want to lose my reputation?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the boy's joking laughter: "Could it be that if the eldest princess is seen bathing in a hot spring with a strange man at this time, her reputation can be preserved?"
"you!"
Li Huang choked. Thinking of the scene just now, he suddenly became furious: "If you dare to let a third person know what happened tonight, I will kill you even if everything is dead."
"Um."
He responded calmly, then inserted the dagger in his hand on the table with tea fruits and sat down leaning against the stone wall.
Thanks to the darkness, Li Huang could see the young man's face clearly.
Today he was not wearing a mask, showing his delicate little face.
Perhaps due to injury, his face was almost translucent in the moonlight, but it did not affect his handsomeness at all.
He has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a complexion like jade, and a noble air in his movements.
How could such a young man be an ordinary person?
Li Huang stared at this face, frowning.
As if aware of her gaze, the young man turned his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "Does the princess stare at men like this on weekdays?"
Li Huang gritted his teeth and said, "If anyone dares to talk to me like this, I will cut off his tongue."
With a 'Pfft' sound, the young man couldn't help but chuckle.
"why are you laughing?"
Li Huang asked angrily, but the young man just shook his head and gave her a meaningful look, "Princess, wouldn't you attack me while I was sleeping?"
My heart skipped a beat.
How did this bitch know what she was thinking!
Li Huang gritted his teeth and glared at him fiercely, even though he didn't speak, he already gave the answer.
The young man twitched his lips and said calmly: "If the princess really takes action, she should consider whether she should break off her arm or her head first."
What a dog man, how dare you threaten her?!
Li Huang turned away angrily, "You can do whatever you want."
After that, she didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore.
…
At dawn the next day, Li Huang woke up to Ling Yuan's call.
"Your Highness, it's time to get up."
Opening her eyes and seeing the familiar phoenix tent above her head, she sat up suddenly: "When did I come back?"
She was clearly at the hot spring last night. She originally wanted to catch the man while he was asleep, but she didn't want to fall asleep unknowingly.
Lingyuan looked at her with a puzzled expression and whispered: "Your Highness, why didn't you summon your maid to serve you after taking a bath in the hot spring last night? My maid searched all over the mansion this morning, and only then discovered that you have come back by yourself."
Came back on your own?
Could it be that boy...
Thinking of this possibility, Li Huang immediately covered his face and became irritated.
"Who did you see in the hot springs?"
Lingyuan shook her head, "When I went there, there was no one in the hot spring."
Could it be that the man left before dawn?
Li Huang rubbed his eyebrows and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
If you dare to threaten her, you are seeking death!
"There was an assassin in the house last night. I dyed his body with Thousand Miles of Incense. You send people with hounds to search! You must capture this person alive."
Hearing that someone had entered the house last night, Lingyuan immediately turned pale with fright. She hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Li Huang to check carefully: "Is Your Highness injured anywhere? Is there any physical discomfort? I'll call the imperial doctor right now."
"No need."
Li Huang frowned, thinking of what happened last night, and said coldly: "Don't make any noise, just find this person."
An assassin entered the eldest princess's mansion in the middle of the night. If someone with intentions makes a fuss about this matter, her reputation will be completely ruined.
As the eldest daughter of the royal family, she had to care about these things.
Lingyuan's eyes were red, she sniffed, and nodded quickly in agreement: "I'll do it now, my slave."
What Li Huang didn't expect was that not only was she looking for assassins, but the streets and alleys in the capital that day were also filled with people from the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
I heard that a thief broke into the house last night, but nothing was lost. It was just that the man who caught the thief, Prince Gu, was brutally attacked and now only has one breath left.
When the news reached Li Huang, she was feeding the fish.
"Gu Chenzhou was beaten to death by thieves?"
Li Huang was actually a little excited in his heart.
Gu Chenzhou is good at both civil and military skills, and his kung fu is not weak among the children in the capital. What kind of thief can beat Gu Chenzhou to death without alerting others?
Thinking of this, her eyes darkened.
Lingyuan came back with news, and at the same time there was another bad news.
"According to His Highness's wishes, I sent out hounds to search for Qian Lixiang. I can chase her to the end——"
"how?"
Li Huang had a bad feeling.
That man is not that easy to deal with.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Huang's idea came to him, Ling Yuan couldn't stop trembling, and said in horror: "I only found a dead mouse, and there was a sock hanging next to it."
Li Huang's heart sank. The sock she lost this morning...
very good!
Dog man, he is threatening her!
"Princess, do you want to continue searching?"
"No need."
Now that he has discovered Qian Lixiang, he naturally has many ways to get rid of her.
Li Huang waved her hands impatiently, thinking that a few days ago her father accidentally mentioned that she wanted to drink the eight-treasure soup she made by herself, so she stood up and said: "Take care of yourself and enter the palace."
