The moment he took the girl into his arms, Xiao Yinhan regretted it.
She has lost a lot of weight, and the flesh she had gained so hard before is gone again.
It fell lightly into his arms, as if it would be broken accidentally.
In an instant, gloomy, irritable and dark emotions swept over his heart, making the man's face become extremely gloomy and terrifying.
It was like this every time, as long as she was not by his side, a fatal accident would happen.
It was his fault, he shouldn't have believed that anyone else in the world could protect her!
The sudden increase in strength on her waist made Jiang Tang groan involuntarily, and it also made her come back to her senses and try to explain to the man:
"My lord, you heard that I will be here because..."
Before she finished speaking, she was placed at the entrance of the courtyard by the man. He held up her delicate face with calloused fingers. His expression was unprecedentedly stern:
"None of this is important. You come here immediately and don't look back. Leave the rest to me."
Jiang Tang was stunned for a moment: "Wang..."
"Go right now!"
Xiao Yinhan directly pressed her shoulders and pushed her out the door. Jiang Tang, who was delicate and frail, could not withstand his strength and took two steps outside.
In my mind, the system is already playing the sound effects of fireworks, accompanied by its scream of being drunk on sugar:
[Ah ah ah ah, the male protagonist doesn’t care at all whether he is the host or not. He just wants to deal with the aftermath for you! Even if you kill him, he won’t care. What kind of fairy CP is this! The system is going to faint.
He passed away!!!]
【Today is also a day to call for the host’s love!】
Jiang Tang, who was still hesitant at first, was immediately shaken by the system's words.
She bit her lip, looked at Xiao Yinhan with aggrieved and sad eyes, and then made up her mind not to cause trouble to the man, turned around and left.
That one look was so lingering and pathos that it almost made Xiao Yinhan unable to hold back and pull the person back into his arms for a good coaxing.
It wasn't until he saw the girl's figure gradually disappearing into the darkness that Xiao Yinhan loosened his clenched fists, his face completely darkened, turned around and stepped into the dead man's courtyard again...
-
[Host, be careful, there is someone in front of you, stop quickly!]
Hearing the tense sound of the system, Jiang Tang hurriedly stopped and stood in a dark corner.
It wasn't until the footsteps faded away that she continued running towards where she lived.
[Host, quickly hide behind the rockery! 】
Maybe tonight is destined to be an uneventful night. The deserted road when we arrived suddenly became thrilling for some reason.
If there wasn't a system alarm that sounded accurately, Jiang Tang would probably have hung up halfway.
After finally returning to the room, the moment she closed the door, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
[I finally came back. I was so shocked tonight that I almost couldn’t breathe.]
The system spoke in a plaintive electronic voice, and Jiang Tang nodded in agreement.
Just as she was about to speak, her mouth was suddenly covered by a touch of warmth. For a moment, her hair stood on end and her soul almost flew away.
【Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!】
The system in my mind screamed: "Why is there another one here?"
Jiang Tang, who was originally in a panic, was suddenly made less afraid by its scream.
"Who are you asking me to ask? Shouldn't you be the one who discovered these?"
[I was just here to give directions to the host and didn’t check the room. Don’t be angry, host QAQ~]
"Master, don't be afraid. I'm Zhu'er. The prince asked the slave to wait for you in the room. I let go of my hand, so don't scream."
Zhu'er said cautiously, and when she saw Jiang Tang nodded, she slowly lowered her hand.
Jiang Tang had guessed early on that Zhu'er was Xiao Yinhan's person, but she didn't say it explicitly, so she pretended not to know.
But in this situation, it suddenly appeared scary and real...
"you can……"
"Master, why do you smell of blood? Do you look injured?"
Jiang Tang and Zhu'er spoke at the same time, the latter's voice was lower and faster, and she instantly recalled the bloody death scene just now because of the other's words——
She was so close just now that she knew without even thinking that the woman's blood should have been splashed on her body.
In the deep darkness, Jiang Tang seemed to still be able to see the woman's crazy and ferocious appearance before she died.
She really saw a lot of death during this "trip"...
"It's not my blood, it's someone else's."
The girl's sweet but calm voice said such words, which inexplicably made Pearl's scalp numb.
Although she knew that the woman who could be attracted by her master was definitely extraordinary, Jiang Tang had always given her the feeling that besides being beautiful, she was weak.
Hearing her say this kind of thing is really a bit...subversive.
"Master, please take off your clothes quickly and give them to me. I'll fetch water and clean up for you. I'm afraid someone will be here soon."
Zhu Er was surprised and made a quick decision. Jiang Tang also thought her suggestion was reasonable. Just as he was about to nod, he heard a scream coming from outside——
"It's flooded, it's flooded, come and put out the fire -"
Both of them were stunned and looked towards the door in unison.
Through the closed door, one could still see the raging fire outside.
In an instant, Jiang Tang suddenly understood that someone's method of dealing with it was...
-
The sound of calling for firemen woke up many people, and people in the cold palace were awakened from their sleep.
Everyone is panicking, what happened this summer? How long ago did the last fire go out, why is it coming again?
Next time, it won't be their turn, right?
For a time, everyone in Leng Palace was extremely scared...
Acting urgently, Jiang Tang, with Zhuer's help, quickly and simply cleaned the traces on his body with cold water from outside, and then handed the blood-stained palace clothes he changed to Zhuer for disposal.
"Master, please go back to bed and lie down. What happens tonight has nothing to do with you. You are asleep and don't know anything."
Before leaving, Pearl warned again.
Jiang Tang nodded. Her heart was still pounding until she closed the door and sat back on the bed.
【Tonight, it’s so exciting...】
After a long time, the system let out such a sigh.
Jiang Tang sat on the edge of the bed with her long, wet hair and said nothing. She didn't know what she was thinking.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [Don’t be afraid of the host, the male protagonist has already...]
The system wanted to talk to her about the male protagonist's current situation, but as soon as it started, there was another rapid and fierce knock on the door.
The movement was much louder than when Pearl arrived just now.
[The host is Grandma Nian.] The system said hurriedly.
Jiang Tang nodded and did not rush to speak, but asked: "Zhu'er has been here for so long, won't she be discovered?"
The system was stunned for a moment. It didn't expect that the host would consider this question, and it didn't know how to answer it for a while.
The knocking at the door continued.
Seeing that the system was silent, Jiang Tang stopped asking, swallowed, and said, "Who is it?"
There was a strong sense of sleepiness in his voice, as if he had just been awakened from sleep.
There was a knock on the door, and the next moment the familiar voice of Mother Nian sounded: "It's me, Mother Nian, Haitang, are you okay?"
Jiang Tang said nothing.
After asking, Grandma Nian waited for an answer from inside, but after waiting for a while, there was no sound inside again. She frowned and felt anxious again.
This person is extraordinary, don’t let anything happen to you again!
Who has been affected by this two-and-a-half days?
With this thought in mind, she raised her hand to continue knocking on the door.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a "squeak" and the closed door opened.
The girl stood at the door, with her long hair loose and wearing a white singlet. The lantern in her hand reflected her pale face, making her look as beautiful as a naughty ghost in folklore.
Grandma Nian was stunned for a moment, and then she came back to her senses, but her voice could not hide the tremor:
Grandma Nian didn't know what she was thinking, so she subconsciously glanced into the dark room where the girl had no candles, as if there was a man hiding in it.
This horrifying thought only flashed through my mind. A promiscuous palace official would be decapitated. It was impossible, impossible, impossible...
"There's a fire over there in the side hall. I'm worried that you might come take a look and have to leave soon."
Aunt Nian explained the situation and then became concerned about Jiang Tang's health: "You look a little bad, are you okay?"
Jiang Tang shook his head: "No, I'm just out of breath. I don't know what's wrong."
Just this sentence made Grandma Nian's heart beat hard. She said, "Don't feel uncomfortable at this messy moment!"
Thinking of the chaos the girl had caused in the first few days after arriving, she felt her whole body hurt, and her head hurt the most: "Go back and lie down, don't come out. Have a good rest, I won't let others disturb you."
After that, he added: "If you still feel uncomfortable, there is no need to come out tomorrow."
She guessed that if the emperor knew about it tomorrow, there would be even greater chaos, so Jiang Tang wouldn't come if he couldn't help it.
Jiang Tang nodded: "Thank you very much, mama."
"It's okay, it should be."
Aunt Nian waved her hand and told Jiang Tang to go back and rest quickly, then turned and left.
System: [That’s good, they won’t doubt the host anymore. 】
Jiang Tang said "hmm" and returned to bed.
She lay down, but the noise outside kept pushing into her ears. It seemed that the fire was really big...
"How did he get into the palace? It was such a coincidence."
She thought Jiang Tang was going to sleep, but she suddenly asked such a question.
Even the system is silent.
It is a system, not a god.
If you could do anything, you wouldn't agree to the host taking such a risk tonight!
At this time, there was a noise outside, and it seemed that the imperial guards were coming.
[The body of the host, the concubine, was discovered, and the guards began to cordon off the investigation. 】
The words of the system made Jiang Tang feel nervous. Even if he knew that someone was the male protagonist and would be rampant until the end of the novel, it did not mean that everything would go smoothly for him.
If you get caught...
While Jiang Tang was uneasy, the guards also dutifully woke up the people in the room one by one to investigate.
I don't know if it's because her room is far away, or if it's because Granny Nian really meant what she said and won't let anyone investigate.
Until the noise gradually died down, no one came to Jiang Tang's place.
Inexplicably, she became the only "pure" person in the chaos of war.
However, even with such "purity", she couldn't sleep at all.
People are lying on the bed, but their hearts are flying outside.
[The host, the male protagonist, he...]
There was a "squeak" in the darkness, and the system's words stopped abruptly. Instead, the only window in the room was pushed open from the outside, and a black shadow jumped in.
Jiang Tang opened his eyes the moment he heard the voice: "Who?"
She subconsciously clenched the dagger that Zhuer had given her for self-defense before leaving, and wanted to get up from the bed vigilantly.
But as soon as she moved, the black shadow pressed towards her.
The next moment, a familiar smell mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke entered the nose.
"King...well..."
Jiang Tang only had time to say one word before his lips were blocked by overwhelming kisses.
The thin quilt on her body fell to the ground at some point, as if she wanted to convey all the uneasiness and longing of the past few days to her through this desperate kiss.
Jiang Tang tried to struggle, but his hand was grabbed...
It wasn't until she was bitten hard that she woke up from her intoxication. She called out "Your Majesty" tenderly and aggrievedly, and looked into those hot and bright eyes in the darkness:
"I'll come back tomorrow night."
When speaking, the man's voice was still wheezing and his breath was unsteady.
"What?"
Jiang Tang was confused for a moment, thinking that he heard wrongly, and asked without realizing it.
Is the palace your home? Come as soon as you want?
There is such a big fuss tonight, how dare you come?
Xiao Yinhan loosened and tightened his big palms that held the girl's wrists, and finally let her go with his strong self-control.
Then, under Jiang Tang's shocked eyes, she got into the wardrobe that she thought was useless, and just disappeared...
At this moment, Jiang Tang still didn't understand that there was a secret passage in this room.
Wait, is there a secret passage in the room?
[The male protagonist is so brave! He dares to dig a secret tunnel into the palace. In ancient times, wasn’t this a beheading? 】
Before Jiang Tang could say anything, the system in her mind activated.
Jiang Tang blinked, the soot exploding in his mind had not yet calmed down.
So...is this the reason why he placed her here?
-
The next day, as expected, the entire Leng Palace was in panic.
Jiang Tang could have stayed in the room and not gone out as Mother Nian said, but out of consideration for inquiring about information, she still showed up in the morning.
"Haitang, are you okay? You were really scared to death last night!"
As soon as Jiang Tang showed up, he was surrounded by several familiar maids: "Mammy called us to gather and said that there would be something to announce later."
While Jiang Tang was listening, he glanced around the crowd and saw Zhuer who was also gossiping with the little palace maid next to her.
It seems that she escaped successfully last night, and I don't know what method she used.
"Haitang, do you know? I heard that Concubine Fang was killed by the maid who served her!"
Jiang Tang was stunned: "The maid serving her?"
"Yes, yes," Ming Lan nodded: "You didn't go to give her a sachet, did you? The Ouchi guards are investigating. If you go, you should go there too."
Jiang Tang opened his mouth and was about to speak when the system in his mind shouted:
[Host, you are so smart! Did you guess that this would happen early on, so you didn’t redeem it last night? 】
Jiang Tang opened her mouth and closed it again. If she was really that powerful, she wouldn't be so embarrassed last night.
