Chapter 48 Intimate Clothing
Sikong Xiaoxiao was cold, lying on the bed with a stiff body, not daring to move at all, and even not daring to exhale more, for fear that someone would find out that she was still awake.
The fact that this thief was able to break in without alarming a guard shows that he is strong in martial arts and familiar with the situation in the inner courtyard, and of course Dawn will suddenly think of the three princes.
At present, the people of the three princes are also in the Huguo Temple, and apart from him, Dawn can't think of anyone else who would target him like this.
But what does Wen Shiwei want to do? Of course, Sikong Dawn didn't believe that he would send someone to her room in the middle of the night and kill her.
When the moon was dark and the wind was high, when she was killing people and stealing goods, she didn't bring out any valuables from the house for people to hijack this time. The rest is only - thinking of this, Dawn broke out in a cold sweat again.
If he deliberately ruined her reputation and forced her to marry, what good would it do him? According to the trajectory of his previous life, it was Sikong Xiaoxiao who tried his best to marry Wen Shiwei.
In the end, Sikong Liang begged the emperor and made a holy decree, so the third prince had to marry.
Sikong Liang still loves his daughter, and there is even such a clause in the holy decree he obtained: During Sikong Dawn's reign as the third princess, no other woman in the mansion can share her glory.
In other words, it is okay for ordinary concubines to sleep or something, and there must be no side concubines. It was because of this that in those years, Wen Shiwei did not officially welcome Mu Xi into the mansion.
Instead of getting the throne before he can take Mu Xi into the palace, of course, what he is trying to arrange is not so simple, Mu Xi will be crowned a beauty after entering the palace. Then the emperor and Mu Meiren, the two of them joined forces, and actually framed Dawn so that they sent her into the cold palace.
In the end, Sikong's family was ruined, and the family was wiped out, and Mu Xi was the new queen.
Sikong Xiaoxiao knew Wen Shiwei very well, and he did this, ostensibly, to help Mu Xi get angry. Of course, it is possible to love her deeply. But I feel that the deep-seated reason is just using this as an excuse.
In the two years in the cold palace, Xiao Xiao figured out that in fact, Wen Shiwei had always been forced to marry her. Therefore, he has always had a grudge against the Sikong family in his heart, and the Jiang family has always supported the former prince, and he did this in order to eradicate dissidents and make himself sit more firmly on the throne.
Why is there such a fuss now? After thinking about it for a while in the dark night, Dawn immediately understood, Wen Shiwei did this, which was also a disguised persecution.
If the reputation of the second lady is ruined, even if she wants to marry into his mansion again, it is absolutely impossible for her to be the concubine and enjoy the honor of the emperor's marriage. But with his character, it is impossible for him to sneak into a young lady's boudoir in the middle of the night.
was bullied by a strange man for such an inexplicable reason, who else could she marry? Dawn was confused, not knowing what was going on.
The top priority is to take precautions and protect yourself. Only the "injured" Jiumei and the peony who took care of her slept outside, and the two weak maids, because there was such a big disturbance last night, they also sent more people to patrol the night.
However, the guards who were guarding outside were all arranged by the lady.
Dawn intuitively didn't want to ask them for help, and this matter did not rule out the possibility that it was arranged by the Jiang family, if this was the case, the guards came in, but I was afraid that the situation would be worse. Now the plan can only save itself, it can be regarded as the most dangerous situation encountered since rebirth, Dawn seems to be just lying calmly on the surface, but in fact, the heart is overwhelming, and countless possibilities have been considered.
Deliberately, Dawn reached out and pulled the futon on his body up a little, wrapping himself tightly from head to toe. Then he flipped around again, turning into the direction facing the window.
It looked like a person unconsciously turning over after falling asleep, but it startled the black shadow that came in, and quickly dodged behind the curtain on the side. A pair of small eyes full of fine light looked at Miss Sikong Er, who seemed to be sleeping on the bed, and after a long time, I saw that she still continued to sleep without any reaction, and it seemed that she was relieved.
At this time, the curtains have been opened a thin slit, and the bright moonlight outside the window shines in, and the whole room is shrouded in a layer of hazy dark light, and you can vaguely see the furnishings of various household items in the house.
Similarly, Dawn, who secretly showed a little slit in his eyes, also looked at the person through this bit of moonlight, only to see that his short figure looked very strong, and his face was covered with a black cloth scarf in black, so that people could not see his face clearly, but the crystal eyes were very eye-catching in the dark.
What is strange is that for the young lady of the General's Mansion who is lying on the bed, the man in black who broke in rashly does not seem to be very interested. His goal was simple, and he seemed to be familiar with the layout of the house, so he went straight to the closet, and secretly fumbled for a while, and then, only to hear the sound of a search.
Then, seeing that the man looked around again, Dawn quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, just listening to the movement in the room.
There was a slight sound of footsteps, the window was opened, and then—Dawn suddenly opened his eyes, only to see a dark shadow quickly disappearing from sight, and that person was gone?
Dawn quickly got up, quietly walked out of the window along the corner of the wall, and looked out, a piece of black oppression, except for the treetops of the trees, I couldn't see anything else at all. And this person didn't look back to close the window again after leaving, as if he didn't need to cover people's eyes and ears at all.
A bad feeling welled up in his heart, and Dawn quickly closed the window and closed the curtain, and then walked out of the door and called softly.
Peony was an alert maid, thinking that the young lady was going to get up at night or drink water, so she hurriedly put on her coat and walked in with a small lamp.
"Miss, why are you up?" Seeing that Dawn was standing by the window with only his middle coat, Peony asked in surprise.
After a while, Jiumei was fine, and she didn't even have time to put on her coat, so she hurriedly ran into the back room, "Miss, what's wrong, what's wrong?" ”
"Jiumei, you light another lamp, peony, and clean up the clothes in the closet." Although he was very anxious in his heart, Xiao Xiao's face did not show anything, and he walked to the table and sat down.
She also poured herself a cup of tea, but when she went out, she couldn't compare to the comfort of her own home, and naturally there was no peony to help her warm tea at night, and the cold tea was drunk into her stomach, and she felt cold all over her body.
The man just stopped in front of the closet for a while and left, and he was so fanfare that he was afraid that others would not know, so there was only one possibility, and what he took was-
