Smack!

There was a sudden sound at the door, and Chu Yueqing's heart jumped, and he opened his dark eyes. She stared at the door for a long time, and then she quietly breathed a sigh of relief and let her guard down.

Bursts of thunder rose from the ground, booming and booming, and from time to time white light entered the chamber. Chu Yueqing never closed her eyes, and when the thunder flickered, several figures were reflected on her door.

Someone!

Chu Yueqing didn't move, his eyes were staring at the door, who was it?! Did you come to her?

But the men didn't come in, the white light flashed again, and the door was empty.

Could it be that she was dazzled and misunderstood?

Chu Yueqing shook his head, and his body was a little cold: "It's not necessarily wrong, it's normal to have a bad vision at night." ”

Muttering to himself like this, Chu Yueqing pulled the thin quilt over his body, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

After about half an hour, Chu Yueqing felt a little sleepy. At that moment, the door of her room was pried open, and the person who plucked the door was cautious and made a very small sound.

Chu Yueqing heard it, since she was taken to the secret room by Zhao Yu to bully her last time she jumped off the horse again, her ear power has been getting better and better. Probably a blessing in disguise.

But this time she didn't open her eyes, and there was a contest in her heart immediately, there were real people before, but they knew that she was awake, so they didn't enter the room.

Could it be a thief who came in and headed something?

From the outside, Chu Yueqing had her eyes closed, her face was calm, and she really looked like she was asleep, but her brain was running rapidly, and in an instant, she had already hypothesized a variety of possibilities.

The door was gently pushed open, followed by the sound of chaotic and soft footsteps, their breathing was shallow, if it weren't for this silent night, if it wasn't for Chu Yueqing not really asleep, I'm afraid they stabbed her a few times with their swords, she wouldn't know how she died.

For money? For things? Or at her?

Under the thin quilt, Chu Yueqing clenched his hands tightly.

In Yunlaiju, her silver may not be enough for the thief to look at. If it was for things, she didn't have anything to worry about except a few tattered clothes and a few pieces of jewelry that she bought.

Could it be for her, but she didn't offend anyone? It's nothing more than when he was in the pawnshop, so that the old shopkeeper vomited a little more blood, but he won't be so stingy that he hires a killer!

Just when Chu Yueqing was thinking wildly, there was another push in his ears, and it seemed that these people disagreed. They whispered a few words.

Chu Yueqing listened with all his energy, but he didn't understand what they were saying for a long time.

Not from the capital. What the shopkeeper told her flashed in her mind, could it be someone who lived in another room on the third floor?

After only a short period of pushing, several people seemed to have a common decision. Then Chu Yueqing heard the sound of human skin and cotton rubbing, and thought that she was unpacking her burden.

Chu Yueqing's heart was a little calm, if he just asked for some gold and silver, let them go. Anyway, her money bag was pressed under her pillow, and the bag contained only two sets of clothes and one of her pair of earrings, as well as a headband and a wooden hairpin from the guy in the store when she bought the clothes.

They muttered for a while, and this time Chu Yueqing heard a few official words.

"She's not alone..."

“… Martial arts are very poor"

intermittently, interspersed with their dialects. Chu Yueqing listened carefully, but still couldn't understand. Their accents were strange, not like the language she was familiar with.

Then, it didn't take long. They seemed to have reached a consensus again, and after a slight grinding sound, they walked out of Chu Yueqing's room with gentle steps and closed her door again.

Didn't do anything to Chu Yueqing.

The thin quilt has been deformed and wrinkled by Chu Yueqing.

It was long after they left that Chu Yueqing opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no sleep all night, and when it rained all night, there was no momentum to stop, and the thunder hit people's ears every once in a while.

Chu Yueqing's eyes were blue, and he sat up from the bed, and his appearance was gray. She walked over to the table and flipped over her cloth baggage.

Clothes, headbands, hairpins and earrings, not a single one is missing.

Chu Yueqing couldn't help frowning, she walked to the window and stared at the street washed by the heavy rain.

Those men were not thieves. The thief never returns empty-handed, even if he dislikes her things for not being valuable, he will take a few of her things.

That's to take her life?

But she wasn't hurt in any way, and they didn't even come near the head of the bed last night...

Who are they?

Horses galloped past under the windows, and the rain poured down and fell on the riders downstairs.

Chu Yueqing recognized the service of those people as the guards of the Hao Palace.

Looking for her?

Chu Yueqing stepped back, she hadn't figured out how to face Xuanyuan Hao.

……

The shops on the street opened one after another, and although there were no customers in the shops due to the rain, everyone had a smile on their faces.

The people are still very happy and grateful for the arrival of this rain.

The guards of the Hao Wangfu rode back from the city gate, and when they saw the palace, the chief of the guard hurriedly ran into the Zhuxin Courtyard.

Xuanyuan Hao stood under the porch, he stood all night, counting the endless rain in a daze. Thinking back to the conversation between him and Qingqing yesterday over and over again, although his attitude was a little colder, he didn't say anything unkind, even if Qingqing was angry, he wouldn't go back overnight.

Could it be that something is happening again?

Xuanyuan Hao's heart tightened, and his expression became more and more indifferent.

As soon as the chief of the guard came in, he noticed that their prince's face was even more gloomy than yesterday, and he unconsciously felt that his throat was dry, and a sense of retreat clouded his heart. I wondered if I would report the news later.

However, Xuanyuan Hao had already seen him.

"Have you found it?" The voice was low, melted into the boundless rain, with a little coolness.

The head of the guard almost slipped on his leg when he stepped on the steps, his heart throbbed, and it took a moment to stabilize: "Back to the prince, his subordinates are incompetent, and no trace of the princess has been found." At the city gate, there was no news of the princess. ”

Both horizontally and vertically are dead, and the chief guard holds the mentality of dying early and surpassing life, and smashes the two bad news at Xuanyuan Hao together.

Xuanyuan Hao's eyebrows frowned, and he said after a while: "You go down first, and you must not spread half a sentence to the outside world at this time." ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey." The chief guard was stunned for a moment, but the prince was not angry....With a little luck, the chief guard turned around and walked out of the Bamboo Heart Courtyard.

Xiao Xiangzi came from the other end of the corridor, holding Xuanyuan Hao's official uniform in his arms.

"Lord Wang," Xiao Xiangzi said cautiously, "It's time to go to the court early." ”

"No, no." Xuanyuan Hao said these two words lightly, which was not very categorical, but it made people have no courage to refute.

Xiao Xiangzi hung his head and didn't dare to speak.
