The two of them were in such a conflict, but they didn't know that there was a huge chaos in the Snake Palace. A group of guards were chasing people with weapons in their hands, shouting.
"Catch the assassin, catch the assassin. Whoever comes, must catch him."
Holding a torch, they used the light of the torch to see a man in black rushing forward with a bright weapon in his hand. When they arrived outside the Lingyuan High Court, they saw that he suddenly jumped up and staggered onto the wall.
The leading guard shouted nervously.
They dared to disturb other places, but they definitely didn't dare to break into the queen's palace. They even shouted, and the leading guard saw him lying on the ground. He looked vaguely like a man. Without thinking, he grabbed it from the hands of the attendants beside him.
The arrow was shot with the bow.
"Hmph," the arrow hit the person, and the person grunted in pain. But he still struggled stubbornly, holding onto the wall with both hands and jumped down.
"Here, what should I do if I enter the spiritual garden?"
Seeing him jumping down like this, it was too late to fire an arrow. The guard next to him couldn't help but asked the leader next to him in embarrassment.
"We have to go to the door and report to Princess Xue'er. We must not let the assassin hurt the queen and princess's bodies. You guys, please surround me tightly. We must not let him escape. Come with me, hurry up and follow me."
I will report to the princess together."
Seeing that he could not catch up with the man, the leader said calmly. At that time, he led a few guards to the gate of Lingyuan. When he got there, he explained the situation, and the guards who watched the door came in to report.
Xiaomei and Xiaoqiu outside heard that an assassin had come out of the Snake Palace. Thinking that Princess Xue'er hadn't come back yet, they had no choice but to wake up Ling'er inside.
"Is there an assassin? Okay, let them come in and search. Xue'er, why haven't you come back yet? Is she going to be fine?"
Ling'er, who was lying inside, had actually not fallen asleep since Xue'er went out. Now that he heard that, he quickly turned over and asked strangely. But he still said thoughtfully, got up and saw that Xue'er was not there, helplessly and worriedly
ask.
"Madam, please relax. Princess Xue'er will be fine. She may have been delayed for something. She will come back when she is done. That slave asked them to come in and search her."
Looking at the worried master sleeping in the inner room, Xiaomei chuckled and persuaded her. At the same time, she turned around obediently and said to her, then turned around and went out.
"Well, let's go. Xiaoqiu, you can go down too. It's already very late and I want to take a rest."
Looking at the sleepy looks of the two girls, Ling'er said generously. She turned around and went back to the room, closed the door and went to sleep. Behind the screen, the room over there was Xue'er's room, and it was still empty without the little girl. Although Xue'er
Let Xiaomei and Xiaoqiu sleep behind the screen to guard her. But there is a difference between master and servant. The two girls did not sleep on Xueer's bed. Instead, they just stayed in the wing room in the hall outside.
Not long after she lay down, Ling'er heard the noise of people outside. She thought those people were searching for the so-called assassin. Thinking that Xiaomei and Xiaoqiu were there outside, she quietly continued to close her eyes and doze off.
.
Suddenly I heard a slight noise from the window next to the bed.
"who?"
Ling'er quickly opened her eyes and asked consciously. But as soon as she said the words, someone covered her mouth on the spot, and there was a vague feeling of coldness on her neck. She didn't think this coldness was a good thing. It seemed that she was being held hostage.
Lived.
"If you want to survive, you'd better keep silent." The person who came covered her mouth with one hand and warned in a low voice, while holding a dagger against her with the other hand.
"Ugh," Ling'er struggled consciously as she didn't understand why he was holding her hostage.
"Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you immediately. Go back to bed and keep lying down. It's best not to play any tricks on me. Or I'll move your head immediately."
The person who came was obviously annoyed by her struggle. He whispered, and the weapon placed on her neck consciously pressed down a little harder. The pain in her neck made Ling'er secretly vent her anger. The figure obviously became more honest.
Only by obeying his words honestly, Ling'er obediently lay back on the bed. Only then did she see that the person holding her hostage was a man dressed in black with a veil on his face. You can't see his appearance, but those exposed eyes, to be honest
It's a bit imaginary to be like Chen Feng, but definitely not.
Seeing this in his eyes, Ling'er suddenly remembered the first time she met Chen Feng. It was also the same situation. But she didn't know who this man was? Why did he sneak into her bedroom. People were still shouting outside.
, it seems that the assassin they are talking about is him.
"Try the quilt," the man said coldly when he saw her like this. Ling'er could only obediently cover her up, but when the man saw that she had covered her well, he boldly got into her quilt. The dagger was still placed in front of her and he said.
"When they came in to search, they said you were the only one, do you understand? You'd better be honest with me, or I'll stab you a few times."
Seeing the woman outside the quilt nodding honestly, the man let go of his hand covering her mouth.
"Queen, they said they saw the assassin coming here. Are you okay?"
As soon as they lay down, they lowered the bed curtains as usual. As soon as they lay down, Xiaomei's hurried footsteps could be heard outside. When they got behind the screen, they looked at the room lit by candlelight and asked the people inside.
"I'm fine. I just went to bed. What's wrong? Haven't you caught that person yet? Tell them to search elsewhere quickly. They must be caught as soon as possible."
According to the man's instructions, Ling'er could only tell the truth and at the same time asked them to search elsewhere.
"Okay, if you need anything, please call me and Xiaoqiu. We'll wait by the screen."
Listening to the clear voice of the master inside, Xiaomei said obediently and told the people who came to remind her at the door. Sure enough, not long after, those people shouted again and walked away elsewhere.
After making sure that they were all gone, Ling'er stood up slightly and looked at the man hiding under his quilt.
"Are you hurt?"
When she opened the quilt and saw the man covered in blood under the quilt, she asked in panic.
"You'd better not make any noise to me, understand? Or I,"
The man was panicked because she suddenly lifted the quilt. But when he saw her expression, she showed no hostility and her demeanor was obviously much calmer. However, the look between her brows was still full of domineering warning.
"Okay, I won't say anything. No one dares to come in here. Who are you? Why are you being chased? Hey, are you okay? Hey, hey."
Looking at his still tyrannical posture, Ling'er assured him angrily. She stood up slightly and checked his injuries. At the same time, she asked garrulously. But she saw that the man was obviously in pain, and his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was about to faint.
With an expression on his face, he quickly held his shoulders and spoke with concern.
As soon as she helped him sit up, the man sank and passed out. Seeing that he couldn't move, Ling'er panicked and pushed him and shouted, but the man still didn't respond.
"Xiaomei, Xiaoqiu, come in quickly."
Looking at the mess and mess on the bed, although Ling'er knew some common medical knowledge, but she was helping to bandage it alone, it was inevitable that there would be some noise. The two girls outside would definitely hear it. It would be better to let them know. Thinking of her getting up quietly,
He gently opened the door on the other side of the screen and shouted to the two girls outside.
"Mother, this, him;"
Xiaomei and Xiaoqiu saw her sneaky look and followed her in at a loss. When they saw the unconscious man on the bed, they panicked. Fortunately, Ling'er raised her finger in time to stop their panic.
"I don't know who he is. But he is so seriously injured. Xiaomei, go outside and get some herbs and gauze. His injury needs to be bandaged quickly, otherwise he will bleed to death."
Ling'er didn't give them a chance to ask due to the strange expressions on the two girls' faces. He directly explained and ordered Xiaomei to go out and get the herbs.
"But Miss, his origin is unknown, and he must be the assassin mentioned by the guards. I don't know what his purpose is in entering the Snake Palace. You save him like this,"
Seeing Ling'er's kind and kind look, Xiaomei was slightly embarrassed. But she still looked at her cautiously and said.
"I know this. But life is at stake. At least he didn't kill me just now. I believe he is not a bad person. As for why he came here? Let's ask him again when he wakes up. Hurry up, otherwise he will die.
.”
Looking at her cautious expression, Ling'er thought for a moment. He must have looked at her and said, while urging her to go out and get something.
"Oh, okay, Xiaoqiu, you are here to watch. If he wants to hurt the empress, you must stop him. I will come back immediately. Alas, I just don't know what happened to Princess Xue'er. She won't be back for so long tonight.
Will something happen? Oh, really."
Seeing the kind and pleading look in her master's eyes, Xiaomei felt so powerless. However, she still nodded her head and accepted her fate, still worrying about reminding Xiaoqiu. Seeing that Xiaoqiu was here, she turned around and went out to the room with peace of mind. Looking at the vast night, she took the
I was looking for what I needed, and at the same time thinking that Xueer had been out for so long and she hadn't been seen. I mumbled and complained unconsciously.
With the help of the two girls, the man's bleeding was quickly stopped. The wound was also cleaned and bandaged.
"Okay, he finally got the blood under control. Xiaomei, please tidy up the room as soon as possible. Oh, it's just Xue'er, why did that girl stay out for so long?"
Looking at the man who had bandaged his wound, he was hit by an arrow in front of him. Fortunately, it did not hurt his vitals. He just lost a lot of blood and fell into a coma temporarily.
The man with the veil removed is very young, with a somewhat domineering and majestic appearance. But he is not as handsome as Chen Feng. His is masculine, while Chen Feng is handsome. But he is full of kingly aura.
Watching the two girls tidying up the room and thinking about Xue'er who had been out for so long, Ling'er said worriedly again. She had been feeling uneasy tonight. Is it just because of this stranger who suddenly broke in?
Little did she know that Zoya had come back from outside. As soon as she returned to her bedroom, she received a letter from her mistress.
"What? Damn Silver Snake, let him protect him with all his strength. Unexpectedly, this guy actually came out before the battle, and Black Snake escaped without a trace. As a result, Wang and the others got an advantage. It seems that regaining the border is just around the corner. It will probably take less than a day.
King Zhou and the others will return to the court, you say. This,"
After reading the letter, Zoya could no longer control her heart and said angrily. Thinking that Chen Feng would come back soon, she could not help but walk back and forth trying to figure out what her plan would be when the time came.
"Miss,"
Just as she was thinking of a way, the mistress guarding outside suddenly came in and whispered to her.
"What? An assassin was discovered in Lingyuan tonight? You wait here, I'll come as soon as I can."
After hearing what the mistress said, Zoya said in surprise. She meditated for a long time, then suddenly made a sound, turned around and walked out.
"Alas, it seems that there are more and more troubles in the palace. I just hope that everything can return to peace as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be chaos."
Watching his master leave, Xiao San sighed thoughtfully, with a rare expression of helplessness and confusion between his eyebrows.
