The breathing sound was even in the room, and there was a light warm fragrance in the air.
The young man's eyes swept over the incense burner and the maid making the floor beside it.
The burning daffodils in the incense burner, if there was no big movement, was enough for this maid to sleep soundly all night.
After she wakes up, if anyone asks her if she heard any noises at night, in order to cover up the fact that she slept too deeply and failed to take care of the eldest princess, she will definitely claim that everything was normal at night and nothing happened——
One whole night is enough.
And under this situation, the only explanation for the death of the eldest princess was an emergency.
Everything will go according to plan...
The man walked to the bed and raised his hand to slowly hang up the bed curtain.
In the dimness, it can be seen that Princess Jingrong is sleeping peacefully, facing inward.
"The eldest princess..."
Even though he was sure that the other party must be asleep at this time, the young man still called out softly out of caution.
There was no reaction from the person on the bed.
Seeing this, the young man took out two long needles from his sleeves.
The long needle is sharp and shines coldly.
The man held the needle in his hand and stabbed the eldest princess at the back of her head——
The long needle carried the coldness, and the force of the attack was strong and fast. It penetrated into the hair and penetrated into the person's flesh almost in an instant.
At this moment, the person on the bed suddenly let out a muffled groan of pain.
The young man's face suddenly changed as he was about to get a second injection.
The eldest princess propped herself up with her hands and sat up suddenly. Her slightly trembling voice was filled with shock and anger: "Lan Zhu, it's really you... why do you want to harm me!"
The man's eyes changed.
For a moment just now, he was thinking that the reason why the eldest princess was able to wake up in the middle of the journey must be that she was prepared... or she had already noticed his identity - but at the moment, it seemed that she didn't know the person who wanted her life.
Who is it!
But these are not the most important things right now...
The man quickly regained his composure, picked up a soft pillow on the side, leaned forward suddenly, and covered Princess Jingrong's face tightly.
The other hand holding the silver needle tried to stab it again.
Although she has wasted her kung fu for many years in order to conceal her identity, she is a man after all. Given the huge disparity in strength, the eldest princess cannot easily struggle.
However, in the next moment, there was a sharp pain from the skin being cut open in his arm, causing the silver needle between the man's fingers to drop immediately.
Princess Jingrong held the dagger she had prepared in advance tightly in her hand. While the man was injured and looking after himself, she broke free from his grasp, threw herself off the bed, swung down the incense burner, tea cup and other items on the long table, and said loudly:
"Come, come quickly! Someone wants to kill me!"
The huge noise finally woke up the maid.
"Your Highness... Your Highness!"
The maid didn't know what was going on. When she first woke up, she couldn't adapt to the dim light in front of her. However, she vaguely saw a figure rushing towards Princess Jingrong. She climbed up without hesitation and grabbed the drum stool beside her.
Then he hit the man hard on the head.
He shouted in a trembling voice: "Someone, come quickly! Someone, come quickly!"
Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, the man's face changed again and again. He knew that today's affairs had been completely ruined, so he immediately jumped out of the window without thinking about anything else.
"Don't run!"
Lamps were lit everywhere, and as soon as the two women came out of the building, they saw the man crossing the railing, and one of them, a tall and strong woman with a broom in his hand, immediately chased after him.
The one who eats and lives in their eldest princess is actually murdering their eldest princess. She must catch the eldest princess and soak her in the pig cage for the eldest princess today!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you okay?!"
In the bedroom, the eldest princess fell beside the couch, her pale face covered in cold sweat.
She raised her hand and touched the back of her head. When a wave of more severe pain and dizziness hit her, she struggled to explain: "My injury is on the back of my head. Go and ask for...a doctor..."
The maid responded "Yes" repeatedly and quickly turned to the maids surrounding her and said, "Go quickly and ask Doctor Shan to come and see His Highness's injuries!"
The two maids trotted away.
"Your Highness... Your Highness?"
The maid turned around and saw that the eldest princess had her eyes closed tightly and she had obviously passed out!
Several people helped the person back to the bed in a panic.
"Have you caught him?" the steward who had just arrived asked in a deep voice in the hall.
"Mom, it's not yet..." The maid who was keeping vigil at night said nervously: "But this person has injuries on his body. I don't think he can escape from the mansion that easily. Now the guards of the mansion are searching everywhere."
"Can you see which one it is?"
"...It's Lan Zhu!" When she mentioned this person, the maidservant was extremely angry: "Your Highness treats him so well, I don't know why he is so crazy."
The stewardess pursed her lips.
I'm afraid I'm not crazy, but simply premeditated...
"Have you sent someone to inform the princess about this?"
The maid shook her head.
The incident happened so suddenly that everyone was in panic. The imperial doctor hadn't arrived yet, so there was no time to go up and send a message to the princess.
At this time, Doctor Shan, who was awakened by the knocking on the door, just put on his clothes and stood up to open the door.
"Imperial Physician! My Royal Highness is injured. Please ask the Imperial Physician to come over quickly and take a look!"
"Injuried?"
Doctor Shan couldn't hide his surprise and asked: "How did you get injured?"
"He was injured by a man..." The maid didn't say much, she just urged: "His Royal Highness is unconscious at the moment, please ask the doctor to rush over as soon as possible!"
Doctor Shan nodded and turned around to pack the medicine box, his eyes filled with confusion.
How could so many people be alarmed...
But at that moment, he rushed to the eldest princess' residence without any delay.
After some inspection, Doctor Shan said: "There seems to be no external injury on His Highness's body, and the blood on his hands does not belong to His Highness..."
"This is indeed Lanzhu's blood!"
The maid said anxiously: "But His Highness said before he fell unconscious that the injury was on the back of the head——"
"Back of the head?"
Upon hearing this, Dr. Shan checked the back of the eldest princess's head again, but shook his head slightly and said: "There are no traces of injury on the back of your highness's head. It seems that it was just a collision... plus the fright, so that's why
Causing fainting."
Princess Yufeng, who had just rushed over after hearing the news, heard this and immediately asked: "According to this, my mother should be able to wake up soon?"
The imperial doctor raised his hand to salute and replied: "Back to the princess, logically speaking, this should be the case."
Princess Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly to the couch.
And the next moment, his slightly relaxed expression immediately became tense.
——The person on the bed had no color on his face or lips, and the cold sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks.
Princess Yufeng thought in her mind and tried to shake Princess Jingrong's hand. The cold touch made her face change drastically.
"Can the imperial doctor see clearly? My mother looks like this. How can it be possible that she was just frightened and comatose!"
When she was young, she took her to the river to catch monkeys, but she pulled out a big black snake from the mud hole. Her mother, who could still keep her face straight, was definitely not such a timid and fragile person!
