Chapter 189: Night Thorn

In the darkness of the night, a dark shadow flashed in the night sky.

Chonghua washed up early and rested because Luo Chen was on duty in the palace.

There is Zimo outside at night, but he is just to be a companion, and Chonghua doesn't get up much at night.

is used to Luo Chen's arms, and there is no one in the cold bed. Chonghua has to lie down for a while these days before he can fall asleep.

After tossing in the quilt for a while, Chonghua began to make up for the cause of the Nine Emperors' injuries again.

Although she doesn't know much about the skills of the Nine Emperor Princes. But she still knows a little bit about this person. The Nine Emperors are definitely not the kind of people who are reckless in order to participate in the affairs of the rivers and lakes. In other words, if he only had two taels of silver in his pocket, he would not have looked at anything that he could afford to buy with a hundred taels of silver.

Although he was despised by Luo Chen during the meal. But Chonghua still feels that this matter has nothing to do with girls.

The Nine Emperors are not too young. The first love of Shenma can be completely expanded. The women in the palace are all the emperor's, and he doesn't look down on the women of the family. If you yearn for the rivers and lakes like this, you will naturally be attracted by the children of the rivers and lakes.

It's because I've never seen it before that I'm curious.

And for good reason.

"Kara", in the silence of the night, the slightest sound is so eye-catching.

Chonghua's body stiffened and tightened the quilt on his body. Slowly curl yourself up into a ball and move closer to the corner of the bed.

"Kara" does have a voice, and it looks like someone is prying the window.

The lattice window has only one small bolt. You can pry it open with a sharp knife. There was no moonlight outside, Chonghua squinted at the window, and could only vaguely see a dark shadow there.

"Zi Mo." Chonghua shouted quietly.

There was no movement outside. Chonghua was silent, what the hell is the purpose of building such a big house. If you can hear it at the door, there is still a screen at the door, and Zi Mo sleeps on the smoke cage outside. It's not too big to be heard. After all, it's a bedroom, and it's not convenient for the maid to sleep too close, right?

What to do? The man was sure to come in if he pried open the window. Chonghua reached out and touched the talisman knife that was placed under the pillow. On weekdays, Luo Chen is at home, and she never sleeps with a knife. Luo Chen was on duty in the palace these days, and she put the talisman knife under her pillow if she was not sure. Originally, it was to prevent nightmares, but who knew that one day it would really need to be used to defend against people.

The "click" lattice window was pried open. A dark shadow crept in.

I stepped on the woolly carpet and couldn't hear a sound. Chonghua secretly rejoiced in his heart that she slept late, otherwise he wouldn't know who died at this time, and he was strangled to death in his dream.

The figure slowly moved towards the bed. Chonghua's heart beat like thunder, holding the talisman knife tightly, slowly pulling the knife out of the scabbard and hiding it under the quilt, always ready.

With a slight coolness, the man slowly walked to the bed, and from the bulge of the quilt, he could tell that there was indeed a person sleeping on the bed. The man slowly drew his dagger and stabbed it down on the quilt.

Chonghua clenched his teeth, and saw that the man's dagger stabbed down, so he pulled out the talisman knife from under the quilt with lightning speed and stabbed the man without hesitation.

"Zi Mo!" Chonghua shouted.

Zi Mo outside suddenly woke up and rushed into the house.

Chonghua pressed the handle of the knife stiffly, and one of the man's arms was nailed to the bed and could not move. The hand hurt, and the man was taken aback. Hurriedly changed the dagger to his left hand and stabbed at Chonghua.

Before the dagger could be in front of Chonghua, the other hand was nailed to the bed by Zi Mo with a dagger.

Chonghua breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the bedside table. At this moment, I felt that my hands and feet were weak, and my back was full of cold sweat.

Zi Mo held down the dagger tightly, and could clearly feel that the other party was trying to break free. Gritting his teeth, a knife slashed at the man's neck.

Suddenly, the man collapsed on the bed, not moving.

"Light the lamp." Chonghua gasped and said.

Zi Mo immediately lit the lamp on the low table at the head of the bed, and saw that the person on the bed was dressed in black, and his face was covered.

"Is Canglan outside?" Chonghua asked.

Zi Mo shook his head: "Cang Lan went to investigate the injury of the Nine Emperor Princes." ”

No wonder, no one has ever touched it all day long. It seems that people are just waiting to sneak in when no one is at home. Looking at the shiny dagger stuck in the place where she was lying on the bed. Chonghua was cold for no reason.

If she had fallen asleep, she would have been dead, right?

"Tie up, shut his mouth and don't let him kill himself. Give it to the Second Highness tomorrow and let the Second Highness go down for interrogation. Chonghua reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It looks like I can't sleep tonight anyway.

Zi Mo nodded solemnly, and found a thick rope to tie up this person. And he gaged his mouth with a veil. He woke up the guards and threw them into the firewood room to be kept under strict control.

Chonghua hugged the quilt and looked at the two pools of blood on the bed, feeling uncomfortable.

"Mother, let's change a mattress for you." Zi Mo could also see Chonghua's discomfort. No one can stand the blood stains on the bed they sleep on.

Chonghua nodded: "It's to be changed." It's too late today, and I won't worry about it all night when I go to the blue yarn closet. Let's toss it tomorrow. And this may be an important piece of evidence, so don't act rashly yet. ”

Zi Mo had no choice but to give up when she heard her say this, and cleaned up the blue yarn cabinet outside for Chonghua to rest. He was still resting on the smokehouse.

Chonghua curled up in the quilt facing the wall, trembling uncontrollably. From the time she came, it seemed that this kind of thing happened a lot.

Other people have to face the ill-intentioned stepmother, the brave and unscrupulous sister or sister-in-law, the handsome and dashing but black-bellied male protagonist. But she has been running for her life and protecting herself. Don't talk about house fights, all fights.

What kind of routine is this?

The talisman knife had been wiped clean, but it still had a faint smell of blood. Chonghua held the talisman knife tightly, his mind chaotic.

Who was it who wanted to put her to death? Is it a virtuous concubine? Hua Guifei? Or Tongjiang Palace?

It should be unlikely that Hua Guifei will give her a good face, although it is usually not considered to give her a good face. But in the end, he is an elder. Luo Chen has such a good relationship with Xiao Jiu. There is no reason to be a gorgeous concubine.

Concubine Xian had no reason to kill her. After all, she is not the wife of the third prince Ming Media. It has nothing to do with the three princes. It also has no effect on the path of the three princes. Even if Concubine Xian didn't like her eyes, she wouldn't take such a big risk and send someone to assassinate her. You must know that if Luo Chen or the queen knew about this, she would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

Then, only the Tongjiang Mansion remains.

If Princess Tongjiang had a reason to kill her, she could indeed understand it. But now Zhou Wenyuan and Zhou Yayun already know where she went. Is there a must to kill her?

I can't figure it out.

If it is Zhou Wenyuan...... If it was Zhou Wenyuan, he would rather kill her with his own hands than fake the hands of others.

If it weren't for these people, who wanted her to die?

The more I think about it, the more I can't figure it out. Suddenly, the lights in the warm pavilion came on.

"Someone's coming!" Luo Chen's angry voice rang out in the room.

Chonghua was silent, isn't this kid on duty? Why did you come back in the middle of the night? And why didn't Mao go to the front door?

Zi Mo woke up and immediately walked into the house.

Luo Chen's face was blue and he pinched the blood-stained bed sheet with holes, and looked at Zi Mo with a gloomy face: "What about the imperial concubine?" ”

Zi Mo was stunned for a moment, and then realized that His Royal Highness must have been frightened when he saw the blood, and hurriedly replied: "Niangniang is on the blue yarn cupboard outside." ”

Luo Chen threw down the sheets and strode out of the warm pavilion. Sure enough, I saw Chonghua wearing clothes and walking out of the blue yarn cupboard.

"What's going on?" If there was only blood on the bed, he could understand it as a woman's monthly affair. But the bright holes in the sheets and quilts were obviously stabbed by knives.

After looking Chonghua up and down to make sure that she was not injured, Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Someone came in the middle of the night looking for me." Chonghua's tone was light, and he didn't want him to worry too much: "It's okay, everyone has tied you up and thrown it in the firewood room." Are you steaming or boiling tomorrow casually tossed. ”

Luo Chen's face darkened and he was about to go out, but Chonghua hurriedly grabbed him: "In the middle of the night, I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have something." ”

Luo Chen twisted his eyebrows and looked back at her: "It's really not hurt?" ”

Chonghua nodded: "I didn't fall asleep at that time." I heard someone priing the window, and I didn't know what he was going to do. When he came in, he caught the stolen goods and obtained the evidence. Fortunately, I slept with a talisman knife at night for the past few days, so I didn't get hurt. ”

Luo Chen's face was gloomy, and he squeezed Chonghua's soft hand. The center of the eyebrows is about to be twisted into a knot.

Chonghua felt that his hands were cold and cold, and he knew that he was really angry. Nonsense, it's all about people touching the bedroom to kill people, and it's a man who is angry.

"You don't have to be on duty tonight?" Only then did Chonghua take the time to ask him the question he wanted to ask.

Luo Chen nodded: "Xiao Jiu has been recruited, and I don't have to stay in the palace." ”

When Chonghua heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Who is it?" ”

Which version it was, she was curious to death. Luo Chen glanced at her angrily, and looked down to see her standing on the ground wearing only soft satin nightshoes. Stretched out his hand and hugged Chonghua horizontally.

Chonghua almost shouted, but fortunately he gaged it in time. In modern times, it is rare for a man to pick up a woman so lightly. You must know that modern men's physiques are not as good as those of ancient men.

"Sleep, I'll tell you tomorrow." Luo Chen hugged Chonghua and walked straight towards the blue yarn cupboard. In fact, it is also possible to live in Xinuan Pavilion, but Xinuan Pavilion has been converted into a small study by him. I usually go to read books or work at work. There are only two chaise longues, and there are no more than two people to sleep in.

It's too late today, so I'll be in the blue yarn closet now. I'll deal with the bed in the house tomorrow.

Zi Mo folded the curtain and went to rest on the smoked cage.

Chonghua was held in Luo Chen's arms, and his whole body warmed up.

"Scared?" Luo Chen's faint voice came from above his head.

Chonghua nodded and whispered, "I'm scared, but fortunately I'm bolder." ”

Luo Chen squinted his eyes and frowned: "Who is this whispering to guard against?" ”

Chonghua pinched his arm: "Zi Mo is still there!" ”

Luo Chen snorted and shouted outside, "Zi Mo, go back to your room." ”

Zi Mo couldn't wait for this sound, respectfully should be a flash, and thoughtfully closed the door. R1152
