Xuan Ningxuan's fingers kept moving on the table, and the fiery red candle light also swayed with the movement of Xuan Ningxuan's fingers.
My heart couldn't calm down for a long time. I always felt that tonight was weird and scary, and something seemed to happen again.
Xuan Ningxuan glanced at the sleeping Murong Jingwan, slowly stood up and walked to the window.
The late night wind ruffled Xuan Ningxuan's hair and chilled Xuan Ningxuan's heart.
Murong Jingwan slowly opened her eyes and looked at Xuan Ningxuan's back. The desolate back made Murong Jingwan feel the urge to cry.
"Xuan." Murong Jingwan called softly, interrupting Xuan Ningxuan's thoughts.
Xuan Ningxuan walked quickly to Murong Jingwan and asked softly: "Did I wake you up?"
Murong Jingwan shook her head and said: "Xuan, I can't sleep, I'm worried about my sister." Murong Jingwan knew that Xuan Ningxuan was worried, but she could only use this method to make Xuan Ningxuan leave her.
Xuan Ningxuan tightly held Murong Jingwan's right hand outside the brocade quilt and said nothing.
There was a commotion outside, and Xuan Ningxuan and Murong Jingwan's expressions suddenly changed.
Xuan Ningxuan quickly let go of Murong Jingwan's hand, walked to the door, opened it, and saw Li Fan kneeling outside the door.
"What happened?" Xuan Ningxuan couldn't hide the panic in his voice. Did something happen to Nishang? Or did something happen to Murong Jingshu?
"Your Majesty, this subordinate deserves to die. I failed to protect Princess Nishang. Please punish me." Li Shan said apologetically and presented the sword in front of Xuan Ningxuan.
Xuan Ningxuan took a few steps back and leaned against the pillar. The nails of his right hand made several marks on the pillar. Ni Chang died, and Ni Chang could not escape his fate. Who will be next? Murong Jingwan or Murong Jing
Shu?
Murong Jingwan sat up suddenly, Nishang is dead? Nishang is actually dead, it must not be the fourth brother who killed Nishang. Who is causing all this, seems to be planning something.
Seeing that Xuan Ningxuan didn't respond for a long time, Li Shan quickly pulled out his sword and wanted to commit suicide.
Xuan Ningxuan struck out and knocked the sword out of Li Shan's hand, "Take me to Nishang's palace."
Li Shan was stunned for a while, then quickly got up and took Xuan Ningxuan to Nishang's bedroom.
As if thinking of something, Xuan Ningxuan suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Murong Jingwan, and warned: "Jingwan, stay here, you are not allowed to go out, you know?"
Xuan Ningxuan left in a hurry, and Murong Jingwan stared blankly at Xuan Ningxuan's leaving figure. She made no move to get up, because she knew that Nishang's death must be the same as Jasmine's.
All this seemed to be directed at Xuan Ningxuan, but the rumors in the palace pointed the finger at her. Murong Jingwan was afraid for a moment that someone was seeking revenge. Shuiyun Palace killed many people in the world on behalf of the emperor. She
He is the master of Shuiyun Palace and cannot escape his responsibility.
Murong Jingwan quickly rejected this idea. If this was the case, the assassin would kill her first instead of Jasmine.
Xuan Ningxuan walked into Nishang's palace and found that the ground was covered with the corpses of the guards.
"Your Majesty, the guards were all injured by the sword energy, and they didn't even have the strength to resist." Li Shan said solemnly. The killer's martial arts were extremely high. Even if all the imperial guards attacked him at the same time, they could not restrain him.
Xuan Ningxuan's eyes widened. The assassin's martial arts skills were so high that no one in the world could control him. Did he offend someone unintentionally? Why did the assassin assassinate his concubine?
Xuan Ningxuan slowly walked into Nishang's bedroom, and Nishang's body had been put down.
Nishang's face was very calm, and the marks on her slender neck were exactly the same as Jasmine's. The murderer was from the same person.
Xuan Ningxuan frowned unconsciously and asked in a deep voice: "Any suspicious findings."
"Back to the emperor, this is something the assassin accidentally left here." The guard presented an ordinary chain to Xuan Ningxuan's hand.
Xuan Ningxuan looked at the chain in his hand carefully. There was no ornament hanging on the chain, but the chain looked very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"Besides this, is there anything else?" Xuan Ningxuan put the chain in his hand and continued to ask.
"There is no return to the emperor." The guard said respectfully. Except for the chain, the assassin left no one alive.
Xuan Ningxuan looked at Ni Chang's corpse with a solemn expression and solemnly ordered: "Bury the imperial concubine properly."
Turning around quickly, Xuan Ningxuan's eyes filled with mist. If he had let them out of the palace earlier, maybe they would not have died.
Slowly walking out of Nishang's palace, Xuan Ningxuan's heart couldn't calm down for a long time. What on earth had he done wrong? If someone wanted revenge, why didn't he come to him instead of killing those concubines who had no power to restrain the chicken?
Xuan Ningxuan didn't know how he walked back to Murong Jingwan's palace, his mind went blank.
"Xuan, is Nishang..." Murong Jingwan did not continue. She already knew, right, that Nishang was dead.
Xuan Ningxuan's eyes slowly focused on Murong Jingwan, and he quickly embraced her into his arms.
He only had four concubines, two of whom have died, and now only Murong Jingwan and Murong Jingshu are left. The assassin's martial arts are so high, how can he protect them.
Murong Jingwan let Xuan Ningxuan hold her. She knew what Xuan Ningxuan was afraid of, that her fate would be the same as that of Nishang and Jasmine.
Murong Jingwan was not afraid, but she didn't want anything to happen to the baby in her belly. She wanted the baby to be born safely.
Xuan Ningxuan slowly let go of Murong Jingwan, and her fearful mood gradually calmed down.
Murong Jingwan caught a glimpse of the chain in Xuan Ningxuan's hand, and her heart beat inexplicably faster. It belonged to her and Xuan Ningyi, and there was supposed to be a wooden carving on the chain.
Could it be that the deaths of Nishang and Jasmine were really caused by the fourth brother, and was it her actions that day that hurt the fourth brother's heart? Does he want to take revenge on Xuan Ningxuan, or does he want to take revenge on her?
Xuan Ningxuan found that Murong Jingwan had been staring closely at the chain in his hand, and his memory gradually became clearer. He remembered where he had seen the chain. Murong Jingwan had an identical chain, and there was an inconspicuous one at the bottom of the chain.
Wood carving.
It was impossible for Murong Jingwan to have time to kill. The only explanation was that Xuan Ningyi was still alive and came back alive to take revenge.
The only thing I can't figure out is how Xuan Ningyi's martial arts became so high. Could it be some kind of adventure?
Xuan Ningxuan's expression told Murong Jingwan everything, he was going to send someone to hunt down the fourth brother.
Murong Jingwan took a few steps back and slowly sat on the chair. She could no longer care whether Xuan Ningxuan would notice that she was awake. She only cared about Xuan Ningyi's safety.
Xuan Ningxuan looked at Murong Jingwan blankly, frowned and asked: "Jingwan, when did you wake up?"
Murong Jingwan slowly raised her head and looked into Xuan Ningxuan's cold eyes. When did she wake up? When Murong Jingshu wanted to poison her baby, but would Xuan Ningxuan believe it?
