Outside the house, noisy sounds sounded one after another, from far to near.
"Just in time, we can see Ximen Hao's reaction." The man in black picked up Su Ran's painting and climbed out of the window.
"Hurry up, the assassin has kidnapped the princess!" The guards of the North Palace had clearly seen the dark shadows coming out of the room illuminated by candlelight, and they all chased after her.
These guards were obviously well-trained for the terrain of the palace, and they instantly surrounded the men in black.
"If you die, you asked for it." The man in black glanced at the crowd of people around him who were eyeing him, and whispered in Su Ranhua's ear.
"I said, I'm here to live." Su Ranhua said calmly, her bright eyes looking around as she waited for the figure with the man in black.
"Are you so determined that Ximen Hao will save you?" The man in black's tone was full of ridicule.
"He didn't save me, he just wanted me to live worse than death under his authority, but for me, as long as I can live, that's enough." Su Ranhua said calmly.
"I never expected that Su Luo City could cultivate a daughter like you, who is much more interesting than Su Ranqing." The man in black's tone contained undisguised praise, but it sounded so sweet to Su Ranhua's ears.
He felt awkward, as if he was commenting on a toy.
"I'm telling you, I am who I am, don't associate yourself with irrelevant people, including Su Luocheng!" Su Ranhua's tone suddenly became clear.
"Oh?" The man in black was stunned for a moment, and glanced sideways at Su Ranhua. Her expression contained an air of indomitability that was awe-inspiring.
"I really didn't expect you to pursue my king's concubine so closely."
A sound resounded through the night sky, and Ximen Hao jumped into the circle of guards and stood in front of the man in black. His bright eyes like an eagle stared at the darkness under the night sky, and then glanced at the person shrouded in darkness.
Su dyed paintings, calm and calm.
"There is no way," the man in black seemed a little helpless, "I was discovered by the prince's people as soon as I appeared, so I had to grab something and find another way out, but it seems that the leverage in my hand is nothing, and I am afraid that this deal will not be completed.
Already."
Ximen Hao glanced at Su Ranhua indifferently, raised his right hand slightly, and made a decisive attack gesture.
"Woman, you really miscalculated." The man in black said to Su Ranhua in a low voice, while facing the swarm of guards, he quickly resisted.
Su Ranhua was attacked by the men in black and dodged the guards. Facing the light and shadow of the sword, he was not afraid at all and was as calm as water, but there was a trace of cunning hidden in his flashing eyes.
Ximen Hao stepped aside and looked at the fight in front of him with cold eyes. More eyes were placed on Su Ranhua's face, which looked calm and indifferent under the moonlight.
What kind of detachment is this?
"Damn woman!" Under the siege of the guards, the man in black gradually became unable to do what he wanted, and the Su Ranhua in his hand became a useless burden.
"Ximen Hao, I don't care about the women you don't want. I'll give them back to you!" The man in black shouted loudly and threw Su Ran's painting towards the group of guards.
After all, Su Ranhua bears the name of Princess Bei. No matter how indifferent King Bei is, she is still a troublesome person for the guards.
The guard who caught Su Ranhua was exposed in the siege. The man in black took the opportunity to raise a smoke bomb and escape.
"No need to chase." Ximen Hao ordered. He knew that with the martial arts of the man in black, it would be difficult to chase him after leaving the Beiwang Mansion. The identity of the man in black was secret, and chasing him fiercely would only break the relationship with him.
Any clues about him.
"Your Majesty," the guard who caught Su Ranhua helped Su Ranhua walk to Ximen Hao.
"Why did the prince let him go so easily? He is most likely the murderer of Xiaorou. My innocence lies with him." Su Ranhua asked.
"Oh? I thought you would hate me for not caring about you." Ximen Hao raised his eyebrows.
"I don't expect the prince to be threatened by assassins because of me, but I care about my innocence. Even if I am accidentally injured and die because of catching the assassin, I don't want to bear the infamy of a murderer!" Su Ran
The expression in the painting is solemn.
"Xiaorou's death will be finalized soon. But you are glad that you escaped." Ximen Hao said coldly, waved his hands to disperse the guards, and turned to leave.
The surrounding area gradually became peaceful, with only traces of the fighting remaining.
Su Ranhua stood under the night sky, and the watery moonlight elongated her figure, but did not illuminate the smile on her face.
She deliberately exposed the whereabouts of the man in black, just to let Ximen Hao know the fact that a mysterious man had sneaked into the Beiwang Mansion, which would increase the possibility of Xiaorou's death and help clear herself of suspicion.
She was not afraid of the man in black turning to kidnap her. Regardless of whether Ximen Hao negotiated terms with the man in black because of her, the man in black would never hurt her, otherwise he would have no chance of sneaking into Beiwang Mansion to deliver medicine.
Meaningless.
The man in black wanted to see Ximen Hao's reaction after he kidnapped Su Ranhua, but Su Ranhua just used him to put on a show in front of Ximen Hao.
In front of everyone, she was also a victim who almost died.
In the study room of the palace, the candlelight was still beating.
"Nothing suspicious about Xiaorou's death has been found yet?" Ximen Hao was asking Chen Mo, the commander of the palace guards.
"Back to my lord, my subordinates are incompetent and haven't found any clues." Chen Mo said with a cupped hand.
"Xiaorou was killed with a single knife. Either she was defenseless against the murderer, or the murderer had extremely fast knife skills and extremely high martial arts skills." Ximen Hao said, "It seems that this person with extremely high martial arts skills already has a candidate."
"Prince?" Chen Mo looked at Ximen Hao puzzled.
"The king wants to protect the princess. This case must be concluded as soon as possible, and the superficial work must be completed as soon as possible." Ximen Hao said, "Xiaorou was killed by the man in black. He deliberately borrowed the knife in the dining room to disturb the view. That one
The hairpin was indeed given to Xiaorou by the princess. It will be announced accordingly tomorrow morning."
"Yes, I will take your orders." Chen Mo said with cupped hands and exited the study.
Ximen Hao opened the window, looked at the crescent moon, and narrowed his eyes.
It was such a coincidence that the man in black appeared twice, both targeting Su Ranhua. It seems that they are opposites, but is this really the case?
Tonight's siege scene appeared in Ximen Hao's mind. It was his character that he would not be blackmailed by anyone, but he determined at a glance that the man in black would not really use Su Ranhua as a blackmail, because he
To escape from Beiwang Mansion, all he had to do was use his skillfully used smoke bombs. There was no need to hold anyone hostage.
Could it be that the man in black was sent by Su Luo City to solve Su Ranhua's problem?
Ximen Hao clearly thought of this, but decided to go with the flow and put Xiaorou's death on the man in black.
For such a woman full of conspiracies and calculations, Ximen Hao will not be afraid of Su Ranhua staying by his side, but will take good care of her! Su Luocheng wanted to use Su Ranhua to invade the tight defense of the North Palace, and he would let her
