In the early morning, the sky was slightly bright

"Mo Lan Mo Lan ......" Helian Xinya sat up from the bed, rubbing her eyes and snorting to evoke Mo Lan

Mo Lan was leaning on the screen and falling asleep when she heard her voice, and immediately woke up, picked up her coat and put it on her body, and walked to her bed: "Niangniang, it's still very early, why did you wake up?"

"Mo Lan, is it dawn," Helian Xinya lifted the silk on her body and grabbed her hand

Mo Lan was stunned at first, then looked out the window and briefly looked at the sky, "It's not bright and thorough."

"I'm going to get up, you bring me the clothes"

Under Mo Lan's puzzled gaze, she hurriedly put on the lilac floral palace skirt she handed over, and then got out of bed, and after Mo Lan put on her shoes, she saw that she was going out, and hurriedly put a deer antler cloak on her

Helian Xinya fastened the belt, took the candlestick in her hand, walked out of the hall quickly, stretched out her hand to open the temple door, her hand kept groping on the deadbolt, but she was stunned, it was not aimed at the door hole, and a drop of cold sweat slipped down the corner of her forehead

"Niangniang, let me come," Mo Lan's eyes darkened, and she walked to the door first and opened the deadbolt for her

Helian Xinya reached out and grabbed her other arm, gritted her teeth, and slowly looked out the door, it was still dark, and her eyes couldn't see anything except the candlelight on her hand

Could it be that yesterday's poison made her eyes ...... She didn't dare to think about it anymore

"Niangniang, you are okay," Mo Lan held her arm uneasily, she felt that Niangniang had been a little weird since last night

Helian Xinya just shook her head, took a long breath, reached out and pushed her hand away, "Mo Lan, I want to go and sit under the tree, if you are sleepy, go back and continue to sleep."

Well, why go under the tree

Mo Lan opened her lips to continue to ask something, as if she wanted to say something, but at this time, Helian Xinya had left her and walked towards the courtyard alone, she looked at her slow steps, gritted her teeth, and quickly followed, supporting her again

"Niang Niang Mo Lan accompanies you"

Helian Xinya looked back in surprise, her clear eyes looked like starlight in the flickering light of the candlelight, but they were ...... There is no focal length

Retracting their gazes, neither of them spoke again, and walked slowly towards the locust tree in the center of the courtyard, and after Mo Lan wiped the dusty stone bench with a silk silk, she slowly sat down and closed her eyes, while Mo Lan quietly accompanied her

She had to wait until dawn

After the sky finally brightened, Mo Lan looked at Helian Xinya, who was falling asleep against the trunk of the tree at some point, hesitated for a moment, put one hand on her shoulder, and shook it gently

"It's dawn for the mother"

"What," she quickly woke up and straightened up subconsciously

"It's already dawn, Niangniang" The candlestick placed next to the two of them had long been burned out, and only a small pile of ashes remained, and in a dazzling light, Helian Xinya opened her eyes

"Niangniang, can you see clearly," waiting for a moment, Mo Lan bent down and asked tentatively, her hands tightly grasping the corners of her skirt because of nervousness

“……”

Helian Xinya was silent at first, and in this short silence, Mo Lan's whole heart rose to her throat, and her eyes and palms gradually became sweaty, until she saw Helian Xinya nodded and replied softly, "Yes, I can see"

"Really," Mo Lan's hands grabbing the corners of her skirt suddenly let go, and she was about to shed tears excitedly, "Great, great, mother, so I can also put my mind at ease"

"Mo Lan, you have discovered something that I can't see at night," different from her excitement, Helian Xinya's tone was still calm, and her eyes really didn't have any problems during the day, but as long as it was a little darker, she couldn't see anything clearly

Mo Lan froze for a moment, her eyes dimmed, "Yes" When she got up this morning and opened the door, she guessed**

Helian Xinya frowned and lowered her eyes in contemplation, "Promise me not to mention this matter to anyone, including Le Ling and Qingluan, let alone Sue Helian Changfeng, and as long as it gets dark," she paused and bit her lower lip, "I need your help so that I don't see the flaws."

"Isn't it okay for Niangniang to sue Qingluan, the poison on Niangniang's body is solved by Qingluan, maybe she can cure it well, and Niangniang's eyes can't be sure," Mo Lan asked hesitantly

Helian Xinya's brows furrowed even more, her red lips coldly spit out a few words, "No"

Never let anyone from the Helian family know

"Mo Lan, while they are still up, let's go back," she said, giving her a deep look and rising from the stone bench

"Da, da, da"

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps from the opposite roof, and she glanced at Mo Lan, and then immediately turned her gaze to the roof, only to see a sneaky black figure crouching on the roof

"Who" both were shocked

Hearing their exclamations, the man in black on the roof paused for a moment, and his cold gaze shot straight at them, and a pair of black eyes on the black mask were deep and cold, but there was no charm

"Wow"

There was another sound, but it didn't come from the roof, and Gu Qingluan, who suddenly appeared not far away, glanced at Helian Xinya and Mo Lan lightly, and then tapped his toes, and the whole person flew up to the roof in the air with a long sword in his hand, and the cold light flashed

Sensing the movement, the man in black quickly moved away, hovering under the tree, the eyes between the two of them, when Gu Qingluan's long sword stabbed at him, his body flashed, and he deftly dodged away, and at the same time, his hands were wide open, and countless hidden weapons were released, Gu Qingluan's eyes were cold in an instant, and he quickly swung his long sword, "Bang, Bang, Bang", and shot down the hidden weapon flying towards her

Between the flying clothes, the figures of the two staggered back and forth, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while

"Niangniang, what should I do now, should I inform the Praetorian Guard," Mo Lan covered her mouth in horror, looking at the fierce battle on the roof in disbelief, and when she understood, she subconsciously stood in front of Helian Xinya

"Mo Lan, you hide behind a tree, don't worry about anything," Helian Xinya pushed away in a deep voice, and Mo Lan, who wanted to protect her with his body, "His target is me, not you, no matter how desperately you protect me, it won't help"

"But the mother"

"Okay, just listen to me, you step back," Helian Xinya interrupted her without question, her eyes locked on the man in black on the roof, she had just finished a spin on the roof, and the man in black's long arms straightened out, and a dagger flew towards her like lightning

"Be careful," there were a few exclamations

I only heard a sound of rubbing, a few strands of cut fine hair slowly fell to the ground, the dagger grazed her shoulder, Gu Qingluan on the roof breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, and in the blink of an eye when she turned her head and wandered, the man in black flew up, and slashed down at her heart, and the sudden palm qi made Gu Qingluan's heart ring, and she quickly retracted her gaze, she was forced to take a few steps back again and again by this palm

The calm eyes of the man in black still did not fluctuate, and after she distanced herself from him, she spread her arms and jumped off the roof, and the whole figure disappeared between the layers of courtyard walls

Fled

"Qingluan, don't chase anymore"

Gu Qingluan stared in the direction where he disappeared for a moment, and just wanted to pull her legs to chase after her, when Helian Xinya's voice came from the ground, her figure frowned slightly, but she still put away her sword and flew and landed lightly beside Helian Xinya

"Niangniang, you are injured," when she approached, she found that Helian Xinya was clutching her shoulders, and the silk handkerchief on Mo Lan's hand had been stained red with blood

"Yes, just now a dagger flew over and stabbed Niangniang," Mo Lan stared at her wound anxiously, holding a silk handkerchief, so anxious that she didn't know what to do

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Helian Xinya said lightly, not taking the shoulder injury to her heart at all, and turned her eyes to the dagger on the ground, "Qingluan, do you know why I didn't let you chase him?"

"Qingluan doesn't know, and this man is likely to be the person who poisoned Niangniang's breakfast yesterday, why didn't Niangniang let Qingluan chase it?"

If it weren't for Helian Xinya stopping her, she would have caught up with her, and here it was more like the palace was too loud, which would inevitably alarm the Praetorian Guards, and then the man in black would not be able to escape

Helian Xinya glanced back at her, narrowed her eyes slightly, recalled the scene when the dagger shot at her before, and muttered: "If he really wants to kill me, I can't hide at all, so his purpose is not to kill me, but yesterday was different, and the person who poisoned me yesterday had only one purpose, which was to kill me."

Gu Qingluan was silent for a long time, her thin lips were tightly pursed into a line, and she knew that Fang was the one she lacked consideration, but "Niangniang, according to this, isn't there two parties who are enemies of Niangniang in the dark?"

Helian Xinya lowered her eyes with a soft "En", looked at the wound on her shoulder that was still bleeding, although her face was calm, but her heart was tight, what she was really worried about was not how many people were enemies with her, but whether the man in black had heard her and Mo Lan's conversation just now

If the people of the Daimyo Dynasty knew that the problem of her eyes was equivalent to grasping her fatal weakness, who would it be, and who would it be that he sent An Lengdie, Mu Luorou, Liu Ruxi, Fang Yuyi, or Yuan Xin, and the Queen Mother dared to sneak into the Huaqing Palace and hide secretly on the roof

Damn it

"Now the things in the palace are beyond the scope of our previous estimates," she pressed her hand on the wound and couldn't help clenching, and finally had to admit this fact, the daimyo harem is really not a simple place, so many accidents have happened now, and she is beyond her strength

Gu Qingluan raised her eyes in surprise, a trace of heaviness flashed in her eyes, and then she chipped gloomily, as if she didn't expect her to say such a thing, perhaps, the current situation is indeed very tricky, especially the princess has even reached the point where her life is in danger, and if she continues like this, she alone will not be able to guarantee her safety at all

"Niangniang Qingluan, before entering the palace, I promised Lord Changfeng that I must swear to protect your safety to the death, and Qingluan is to blame for yesterday's and today's events."
