The next day, shortly after dawn, Zhenliang was awakened by Nangong Yu's urgent knock on the door.
After Zhenliang put on her clothes and stood up to open the door, Nangong Yu looked her up and down nervously. Seeing that she looked calm as if nothing was wrong, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, you are safe, otherwise I would not be able to leave."
blame."
It must have been when Nangong Yu came to the Neon Inn that the guards guarding her told him about the assassin he encountered last night. Therefore, he knocked on her door uneasily and had to see her in person to feel relieved.
The matter has calmed down, and in order to hide the secret of An San, Zhenliang will naturally not tell Nangong Yu about the Caihua silver thief, lest he blame himself or the guards, or even accidentally tell Nangong Lie about these things one day.
"All of your subordinates are masters, how can anything happen to me?"
Suddenly, Nangong Yu's eyes fell on Zhenliang's opened lips. Because of the effect of her mask, he didn't notice the abnormality on her mouth. Now when she opened her mouth, he keenly noticed that something was wrong.
Seeing Nangong Yu Junmei staring at him with a slight frown, Zhenliang smiled slightly, raised a hand and waved it playfully in front of his eyes, "What's wrong?"
Nangong Yu pointed to her lips and said, "Why are your lips so red and even have a cut?"
This... Thinking of the initiator, Zhenliang felt really ashamed and angry. She didn't expect that even after she slept, the mark on her lips would still be so obvious.
For a moment, Zhenliang could only say shyly, "I'll tell you the reason, but don't laugh at me."
Nangong Yu did not doubt that there was something wrong, and said seriously, "No."
Only then did Zhenliang lower his eyes and look at the instep of his feet, while whispering, "I heard the sound of fighting outside last night. I was very scared. I was afraid that there were too many people coming and they were too powerful and your subordinates couldn't defeat them. So,
, unknowingly, out of fear, I bit my lip tightly, and accidentally bit it open."
Nangong Yu completely believed what Zhenliang said, and at the same time he took it seriously and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Zhenliang pretended to be angry and said, "Are you a swindler? You promised not to laugh."
Nangong Yu cupped his hands and quickly held back his laughter and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm not laughing at you, but I just find it weird. I can understand why people bite their lips when they are afraid, but I have never heard of anyone biting their lips because of this.
Lips. Do you think so?"
"Yes, I'm stupid." If Nangong Yu can believe his explanation, which is what Zhenliang wants, why would he care about him making fun of himself?
"You said this, I didn't."
Zhenliang looked at Nangong Yu struggling to hold back his laughter and said kindly, "You can laugh if you want, I don't mind."
Nangong Yu shook his head seriously, "If you don't laugh, you won't laugh. I can't help it."
Thinking of the attack last night, Zhenliang thought about it in his mind and asked, "The Neon Inn was attacked last night. Are those people specifically targeting me?"
Nangong Yu shook his head, "According to what Dongzi and the others tortured and interrogated, those assassins were just street gangsters. Because they accidentally heard that someone had rented out the Neon Inn, they had the evil intention of taking advantage of the situation and wanted to come in and steal some money. If
If we are specifically targeting you, we won’t be taken down by Dongzi and the others so easily.”
Zhenliang curled his lips. Although he didn't agree with it at all, he couldn't explain it clearly. Those people were obviously sent by the mastermind behind the scenes to try to lure the tiger away from the mountain, because only by luring those guards away could the Caihua Silver Thief be able to keep track of the ghosts.
He slipped into her guest room easily and unconsciously.
"The third prince secretly took me out of the palace this time. Did any other unreliable people know about it, or did the news accidentally leak out?"
"Impossible, I was very careful." Nangong Yu firmly denied it, trusting his own arrangements and arrangements, and also trusting his subordinates.
Zhenliang snorted lightly, not despising Nangong Yu, but hating the mastermind who wanted to murder him.
"Whether you believe it or not, they are coming for me." Although there is still a smile on Zhenliang's face, his expression is extremely serious. It does not look like a joke at all, as if he knows some inside information, "Third Prince, wait a moment.
, I'm going to wash up."
"Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs for breakfast."
Nangong Yu went downstairs and sat at the dining table, silently motionless. Although he did not respond to Zhenliang's firm words, he took them to heart. After careful consideration, he came to the conclusion that even if those words were spoken last night,
The person came for Zhenliang, and they should be the enemies of General Yuchi's mansion who were not worthy of fear. They should have nothing to do with him or the imperial palace.
After Zhenliang came downstairs, he had no appetite because he didn't have enough sleep last night, so he ate breakfast reluctantly. After Nangong Yu finished it, he said, "Third Prince, please send me back to the palace."
Nangong Yu happily agreed, and the group of people walked out of the Neon Inn one after another. When the carriage passed a familiar location on the Pangtuo River, Nangong Yu's heart couldn't help but "thump".
He suddenly remembered that last night by the Pangtuo River, when he was introducing the origins of various colored lanterns to Zhenliang, he inadvertently raised his eyes and saw a cute and familiar figure on the other side of the river falling into his eyes.
She nodded slightly at him, pursed her lips and smiled, and glanced at the masked Zhenliang next to him. When he raised his eyes again, she had mysteriously disappeared.
.
With her dexterity and intelligence, it should be easy to guess who the people around him are. After all, she cares about everything related to the imperial brother, and women are jealous. Once she determines who the people around him are, will she?
will give birth to...
The sound of the horse's hooves suddenly accelerated, and Nangong Yu shuddered all over, cursing himself: No, no, she is kind, gentle, weak and timid. She is the sister Xuan Wu who grew up with his childhood sweetheart.
Her temperament is well understood, so there is absolutely no way she will become one of those scheming and unscrupulous women in the harem, no, absolutely not!
Someone else must be trying to kill Rabbit!
As soon as Zhenliang returned to the palace, he quickly reached the palace from the secret passage exit of the pasture.
Yinye was pacing back and forth in her bedroom, her face full of doubts and anxiety, but she didn't realize that Zhenliang was already standing behind her.
"Yinye?" Zhenliang shouted softly, otherwise, she was afraid that Yinye's soul would be scared away.
"Empress? You're back!" Yinye heard Zhenliang's voice, as if grasping a life-saving straw, he immediately turned around and rushed to grab her and said, "It's a bad thing, a very bad thing!"
"What happened?" Zhenliang wondered secretly. Could it be that the news of her leaving the palace had leaked and even spread in the palace?
It wouldn't be surprising if the news really leaked out. After all, her attack last night was very likely related to this. Maybe it was some woman in the harem who was jealous of her and bribed the Caihua silver thief to taint her, thus making Nangong Lie dislike her.
, abandon her, and achieve the goal of making her completely fall out of favor.
