Chapter Thirty-Eight: Something Goes Wrong

87_87438Although he was ready to endure hardships, it was the first time that Shouxin had done such a thing as sleeping in a tree.

After the first half of the night, she changed shifts with the guard, and at this moment it was already dark in the courtyard, and even the maids in the side room had turned off the lights and fell asleep.

Shouxin went up the tree, lying on a thick branch, and smiled bitterly in his heart. I wonder if Shoufu would laugh at a handmaid like Fluttershy, but they are not as good as a handmaiden like Fluttershy.

And she couldn't sleep when she was lying like this. Thinking that Xiaolongjie in the TV series "The Condor Heroes" in her previous life actually slept on the rope, she felt that after she went back, she would not practice when she was not on a mission, so that she could rest less sadly during the mission.

On such a night, she didn't even have the mood to look at the stars, so she took out a few books she had bought with the guard from her arms, and slowly read them by the cold moonlight.

The time to read a book passed quickly, but it hurt her eyes to read a book in poor light for a long time, so she only read for an hour, and then she felt that her eyes were sore, and she had no choice but to put the book away. And now, she still didn't feel the slightest bit sleepy, so she had to sit up cross-legged and start practicing internal skills.

Although practicing internal strength is a bit boring, it can make you feel a hundred times more energetic, even if you don't sleep, you will still have energy tomorrow.

However, this kind of practice on the tree under the moon is the first time to keep the heart. The faint moonlight sprinkled on her hidden figure, and she felt that there was a flow of light around her body that she couldn't see, like a dream.

I don't know if the moonlight is too beautiful, or if she is extra serious tonight, and after a week, she unknowingly arrives at dawn. She opened her smart eyes and glanced at the courtyard, and there were already girls and little girls getting up and walking around. And she was so engrossed just now that she didn't notice anything.

She jumped off the tree and walked towards the place where the previous night's guard had been. Because they are the same people who carry out tasks together, they feel each other's breath and know each other's exact location. "Defensive ......" Shouxin lowered his voice and told the strange appearance of his own practice just now, and the defensive posture was surprised when he heard it, and then he was relieved: "Little junior sister, this is another realm for you, no wonder the master said that you are born with strange roots and bones, and you are suitable for practicing martial arts." It's just that you're too unvigilant, so be careful next time. ”

"I see." Shouxin stuck out her tongue, and she didn't know why, so she relaxed. Presumably because she knew that the defensive position was under the tree, she would trust the senior brother of the defensive position wholeheartedly. "On the defensive, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"No, I noticed that something seemed wrong with that servant." The guard pointed to the maidservants standing in front of the beds of the six princes and the six princesses.

"Oh?" Shouxin also looked over, and the maid between them stood dumbfounded, her eyes were full of blue and black, but her hands were tightly clasped together, and Shouxin knew that this was a nervous expression.

"She's been standing here for about a quarter of an hour, and she hasn't moved a single step, and something is clearly wrong."

"Looking at her dress, it seems that she is the eldest girl in the house, and she should be next to the sixth princess, right?"

"Yes, I saw her serve the Sixth Imperial Concubine up close last night." The defense has always been careful, and his memory is good, and he remembers clearly who has been close to the Six Princes and the Six Princes and Concubines from yesterday to now.

"Then let's pay more attention, the sixth princess is pregnant, but don't have any problems." Shouxin's favorite thing to watch in his previous life was court novels and TV series, and he was no stranger to this kind of intrigue in the palace.

"Well, if the six princes and the princess are separated today, we will also act separately. You can't let the heirs of the six princes have problems. "The defense deeply thinks that they were sent by Yi Xun to protect the six princes, so they have no obligation to protect the six princesses, but with the flesh and blood of the six princes in the belly of the six princesses, they can't ignore it.

"Good!" Shouxin did not object, and the two of them paid close attention to the situation in the room of the six princes.

During this period, Shouxin also made a while, the legs of the six princes were inconvenient, so the two of them must have done that with the six princesses...... Thinking of this, Shouxin snickered for a while. Of course, this is a laugh without any ridicule, and after laughing, he lamented the misfortune of the six princes. However, seeing the eyebrows of the six princes and the six princesses yesterday, it can be concluded that the two of them have a good relationship, and the six princesses must not dislike the legs of the six princes. Yi Xun also once said that he must find the leg of the six princes who must find the miracle doctor, and he also hopes from the bottom of his heart that the legs of the six princes can get better. Such a man who is as tough as a bamboo should not waste his good years in a wheelchair.

The sun gradually rose, and the servant girl who was suspected by the guard also came to her senses, and she hesitated for a few minutes before going to fetch water to serve the six princes and the six princesses who had just gotten up inside.

After washing, it was time for breakfast, Shouxin and Shou looked at each other, Shou Xin stayed here, and Shou followed the servant all the way to the kitchen.

After a while, the maidservant came over with the girls who were passing the meal, and the guard also returned, and said to Shouxin in a low voice, "There is nothing wrong. ”

"It's better not, we can't let our guard down." As he spoke, the maidservant standing at the door took the soup cup from the hand of a food delivery girl and brought it in.

"There's a problem." The defender and the guard looked at each other, and both found a problem. If it weren't for the two of them's extraordinary eyesight, even the girl next to the servant girl wouldn't have noticed anything wrong.

"How can we stop it? This servant girl is also cruel enough to herself, seeing that her fingers are red, I am afraid that she has something on her hands. ”

"Well, there's no other reason to explain why she just put her finger in the soup cup." The defense thought so, but he didn't know what she had in her hand, if he acted rashly, but he didn't find her handle, and the soup was fine, no one would believe it, but let the two of them expose their whereabouts.

As she spoke, the maid had already brought the soup cup to the table, and was holding a spoon to add soup to the six princes and the six princesses!

The sixth prince has been working in a wheelchair all year round, and his health is not good, but the princess has a body again, so she used tonic soup early in the morning.

"Gotta stop her." Shouxin couldn't let anyone have an accident, so he picked up a small pebble and hit the wrist of the maid who added the soup to the soup. The movements were coherent and swift, but in a second, the servant screamed, and the whole bowl of soup was spilled, and her own hands were burned.

"What's going on?" The sixth princess said in a displeased tone, and looked at the maidservant suspiciously.

"The servant deserves to die, the six princesses atone for their sins, and the servant deserves to die...... the servant girl hurriedly knelt down to ask for guilt, begging for mercy again and again, and kept kowtowing.

"Alright, let's clean it up!" The sixth prince waved his hand, but he didn't even look at the servant, obviously impatient with her like this.

The maidservant only stopped kowtowing and looked at the six princesses carefully.

The Sixth Princess couldn't help but be even more annoyed: "Didn't you hear what the Sixth Master said?" Pack it up. ”

"Yes." Only then did the maid stand up for jewelry, but her hands trembled a little, and her lowered face was full of fear. She was frightened by Shouxin just now, and she didn't realize that someone had hit her, but she felt that the soup cup fell because of a pain in her wrist. She ignored the burns on her hands, she just felt that she shouldn't have done it, and now God punished her, so that she couldn't do bad things.

She cleaned up the mess in the room and walked out with the broken soup cup and the rag with sugar water. Shouxin let the guard continue to star, and he followed the maidservant.

After the maidservant threw away the things, she took a handkerchief and wrapped the fragments, but she had no way to obtain evidence of the soup.

When she returned, in a corner, she found the handmaid kneeling down to heaven and whispering words from her mouth. Shouxin took two steps closer and listened carefully.

"God, please forgive me. I'm forced to do something bad, it's the first time I've done something bad, woo. They used my parents' lives to force me, what should I do? Woo woo woo ......" The servant girl sobbed quietly, and Shouxin understood why she wanted to harm her master.

It stands to reason that the maid close to the sixth princess should be the girl she married, which can be said to be the most heartfelt, but the maid in front of her actually persecuted her master, although she didn't say who she was trying to kill, but it proved that she was forced. This kind of bridge guard was not surprising at all, sighed, shook his head and went back.

quietly told the situation to the defensive, and the defensive said: "Let's find an opportunity to sue the sixth prince, we can't do anything about this matter for the time being, I'm afraid that her family was caught by the bad guys." ”

"yes. You say, will the six princes help her when the time comes, or will they just get rid of her? ”

"I think I'll get rid of it!"

"But she also had no choice! Besides, she hasn't succeeded yet! Shouxin sighed, feeling that there was too much helplessness to be born in this ancient period. Just like her, she is here to work tirelessly as a secret guard for others.

"Even if she had to do so, she had already betrayed her master. Death is the best ending for her! ”

"Oh, defensive, do you say that if one day I betray my master, I will also be killed?" The Guardian Ghost made such a sentence come out of nowhere, which frightened the defender, and he hurriedly covered Guardian's mouth.

"You're crazy, how can you say such a thing?"

Shouxin glared at him and pulled the hand off his mouth, "I just asked casually, and I didn't say that I would betray my master, what are you doing so nervous?" ”

"Shouxin, you shouldn't even have this kind of thought, understand? Otherwise, you don't even know how to die. The tone of the defensive was heavy, because he didn't want to see the day at all.

"Okay, okay, I'll stop talking."

"It's not that you don't say it, it's that you don't have ideas." The defensive position is very strict, and it is the first time that Shouxin has seen him with such an expression.

"I know, I knew you were so nervous, so I won't talk about it."

"Humph!" The defense was a little angry, and more worried about the guard. He knew that Shouxin was different, but now that they were the secret guards of their masters, they shouldn't think about such a thing, if the words just now were heard by others, they might be unable to escape death
