That night, Zhu Sha applied the medicine given by Qi Mingye to Eleven's wounds. This did have a miraculous effect. The scars on his body gradually lightened, and the hideous stripes became lighter in color. Zhu Sha praised the medicine for its strange effect.
Eleven smiled lightly. Qi Mingye owed it to her, and she would not be grateful, let alone moved.
Zhusha went down to rest, and lay there for a while. Without any sleepiness, she got up and stood in front of the window to admire the moonlight. The moonlight was as bright as water, and she stretched out her hand, as if she could grasp it. She looked at the moonlight blocked by the clouds carefully, and then
Watching carefully the clouds dispersed and the moonlight fell like water again.
Vaguely, she seemed to hear the sounds of people outside the palace. When she listened carefully, the voices became clearer. It seemed that someone was shouting: "Hurry up, search carefully, and you must find the assassin."
Assassin? There is actually an assassin in the Dongzhao Palace? When I think of the hypocrisy and violence of the Dongzhao Palace, this assassin is either prepared or has a plan to become a benevolent person. The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and they seem to be outside the Chunhua Palace.
There seemed to be wind blowing behind him, and Eleven was about to turn around. His mouth was covered by a big hand, and a sword with a cold light was hung across his neck. Then there was a deep and strong sound that touched his ears, "Don't make any sound, otherwise be careful.
The sword recognizes no one."
Eleven nodded in astonishment before sending her hope out of the palace, waiting for the day of relief, but she could not lose her life at this time.
"Open the door,... open the door..."
The door of Chunhua Palace was banged loudly, and I believe Zhusha will open the door soon. Eleven was held hostage and retreated. The assassin was stunned for a moment when he saw an iron chain locked around the hostage's ankle. Then he warned her in a deep voice,
"Go and lie down on the bed. If you dare to betray me, I will pierce your body with a sword."
Eleven was lying on the bed, and the assassin hid behind the bed. The candlelight in the hall was dim and it was not bright, so it was difficult to see clearly that there was a person hiding behind the bed curtains.
Soon, the palace guards broke into the dormitory under the leadership of Zhu Sha. The leader was known to Eleven. He was Xue Zhaoqing, the commander of the guards.
Eleven sat up slightly and looked at him expressionlessly, "It's so late, are you guys okay?"
Xue Zhaoqing had also not seen the Eleventh Concubine for a long time, but when he saw her, he found that she was very different from before. Her appearance had not changed, but her light temperament had changed. He could not believe that such a person would become a new concubine because of Wang Na.
He cried, made trouble, and even ran away. He raised his hands and said, "Miss Eleven, please forgive me for trespassing. There are assassins running rampant in the palace, and someone saw him coming in this direction. I wonder if Miss Eleven has seen him?"
Eleven stopped looking at Xue Zhaoqing and looked straight ahead. She glanced at the cold sword on her waist from the corner of her eye and sighed calmly: "Eleven has been living in the deep palace for a long time and it is difficult to see strangers. If he sees an assassin, can he still be so stable?
?Commander, please look elsewhere. I am very tired and need to rest."
The layout of the entire dormitory was unbelievably simple. Under the table, under the desk, and the cabinet for storing clothes, they were all too exquisite to fit a grown man. Xue Zhaoqing was not suspicious and stepped back.
When people left, Zhu Sha covered her chest and said, "Girl, you must be scared. I'm scared to death."
Zhusha hadn't treated her long enough, and she didn't want to add another ghost if something unexpected happened, "Zhusha, I'm really sleepy, go and close the palace door and go back to the room to sleep."
"Aren't you afraid, girl? Do you want a slave to accompany you?"
Eleven shook his head lightly, "No need, you can go down."
As soon as Cinnabar left, the assassin appeared.
He looked at Eleven with strange eyes. She was so beautiful, but the decoration in the palace and the chains on her feet showed the fact that she was not favored by King Dongzhao.
