3. Take refuge in the moon

"Eat." Shi Lian reached out and took a pill from his bosom and stuffed it into Xiangbao's mouth.

Xiangbao frowned slightly, there was a strong smell of blood, and the pill was probably soaked with blood on his body. Before she could breathe, he forced her to swallow.

"Hey......" Xiangbao opened her mouth, and the wound on her shoulder immediately hurt her teeth and grinned, "Why are you in Zheng Dan's dormitory?" ”

Shi didn't even snort, completely ignoring her.

"How's your injury......" Xiangbao couldn't help but ask as he saw that the blood from his wound kept pouring out.

"Take care of yourself." Still a cold, faint voice.

"Hmph, I'm afraid you'll bleed to death." Xiangbao snorted coldly, and by the way, reached out and picked up the black cloth that covered his face.

He was taken aback and hurriedly turned his head, which probably hit the wound with too much force, and he couldn't help but snort.

"Stop pretending to be a ghost, I can recognize your ghostly appearance, turn to ashes, Shi Lian!" With a mischievous coziness, Xiang Bao said.

Finally let out a bad breath.

Shi Lian was slightly stunned, she ...... Recognized him early in the morning? So...... to save him?

Seeing that he didn't react, Xiangbao reached out and pressed the cloth towel against his bleeding wound.

"Ahh He snorted softly and turned his head to glare at Xiangbao, "You want to kill me?" ”

"yes, yes, I want to kill you!" Xiangbao nodded and said with a grin, deliberately squeezing his wound hard, and the calm dead fish face finally had another expression.

His face was contorted in pain......

Xiangbao is secretly refreshed. Shi Lian was furious and reached out to push her away.

"Hey! I'm your savior! Seeing that he was about to turn his face, Xiangbao glared angrily and moved out of his identity as a life-saving benefactor.

The green tendons on Shi Lian's forehead jumped faintly, and finally lowered his hand. Seeing him look so deflated, Xiangbao immediately felt good and reached out to hug him.

"You...... What are you doing? Shi Lian was shocked.

Xiangbao gave him a blank look, wrapped her hand behind him, tied the wound with the cloth towel, and tied it fiercely. Temporarily blocks the flow of blood.

"Does it hurt?" Seeing that his face was pale, Xiangbao grinned and pretended to care.

Shi Lian ignored her.

"It's a lot of sweat." Raising his sleeve and wiping the sweat beads on his forehead for him, Xiangbao smiled.

Shi Lian shook his head, pulled Xiangbao and turned back to the palace. The most dangerous place is the safest place, and now the husband must think that he is out of the palace, and the net must have been laid outside, and it is not as safe as the palace.

It's a pity...... He was lost.

"Lost?" Xiangbao was next to him, quite gloating.

Eyebrows twitched slightly, and Shi Lian decided to ignore her.

Xiangbao laughed in her heart. It's just that the palace is full of assassins, and if you accidentally bump into it, you will send it to the door. Her Drunken Moon Pavilion is impossible to go, and Ziruo is Yun Ji's person. If there are other places to go, there is only Hua Mei and Zheng Dan's bedroom.

But...... Why did Shi Lian appear in Zheng Dan's bedroom? He knew where his husband was early in the morning, and he wanted to assassinate him? This doesn't make sense, if Fucha is dead now, it won't be any good for Yue at all.

"Why don't you go to Zheng Dan?" Xiangbao looked at Shi Lian and tried to suggest.

"Go to Hua Mei." Shi Lian frowned.

Xiangbao looked down at Shi Lian's injury, didn't say anything more, looked around, and half-helped him to the Lanyue Pavilion in the West Palace.

Hiding Shi Lian aside, Xiangbao reached out and knocked lightly on the door. Not long after, the door opened, and the maid who opened the door screamed in fright when she saw that Xiangbao was covered in blood, and Xiangbao hurriedly covered her mouth.

Shi Lian stepped forward and raised his hand to knock her unconscious. And so, the world was quiet......

"You!" Xiangbao let go of her hand and saw the maid fall limply to the ground, speechless.

"Just fainted." Shi Lian said lightly.

Xiangbao was relieved.

"Shih Tzu!" Hearing the maid's exclamation, Hua Mei walked out with her clothes on, and was startled when she saw Xi Shi covered in blood, "What happened?" ”

"Shi Lian is injured and wants to borrow your place." Xiangbao gestured to Shi Lian, who was standing behind her.

When Hua Mei heard this, he nodded cautiously: "Come with me, it's being checked outside." ”

"Search the palace again!" Xiangbao helped Shi Lian into the house when he heard a noisy sound of people not far from the house, followed by a sound of neat footsteps. Is it the army? That guy...... Isn't it the army that has been dispatched!

"That maid just ......" Xiangbao was a little worried about the maid who was stunned by Shi Lian, if someone found out, it would be bad.

"I'll take care of it." Hua Mei nodded, and suddenly frowned again, "It's just that General Shi was injured, and they are afraid that they will find this place along the bloodstains." ”

"Don't worry, I've hidden the bloodstains along the way, and now it's getting late, they won't notice." Xiangbao hesitated for a moment, "It's just that tomorrow when it dawns, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide." ”

Hua Mei nodded, and the door suddenly opened, and the three of them were startled. When he saw who was coming, Hua Mei breathed a sigh of relief: "Linglong, you scared me to death." ”

Linglong smiled: "I heard that something happened in the palace, so I came over to take a look." ”

Xiangbao looked at Linglong and was slightly stunned.

"It's ugly." Linglong smiled and pointed to the scabbing wound on her face, the terrible wound from the corner of her left eye to the bridge of her nose, making her originally delicate appearance hideous.

"Now is not the time to say this," Hua Mei looked sideways at Linglong, "Linglong, you came just in time, I'll take them to the back room, you help clean up the bloodstains, if someone comes to search, you say I'm frightened and resting." ”

Linglong nodded. Hua Mei hurriedly pulled Xiangbao and Shi Lian into the back room. Xiangbao helped Shi Lian to the back room, but she didn't know why, she couldn't help but glance back at Linglong.

Hua Mei helped Shi Lian sit down and looked back at Xiangbao: "Sister Xi Shi, have you recovered your memory?" ”

"Huh?"

"Idiot." Shi Lian snorted coldly.

Xiangbao glared at Shi Lian, and checked it by the way, the masked black cloth tied to him was already soaked, but fortunately, no blood oozed out.

"You sit down first, and I'll go find some clean clothes for you to change into." Hua Mei saw that they were covered in blood, and turned to look for clothes.

Xiangbao stood up and stretched out his hand to stop Hua Mei: "You go to the outhouse to look at some Linglong, I'll ...... Not assured. ”

"What are you talking about?" Hua Mei was very surprised, "How could Linglong ......?"

"Just let me be careful, let's go and see." Shaking his head, Xiangbao insisted. She didn't know what was wrong with her, she always felt that Linglong's eyes were weird.

Hua Mei frowned, glanced at Xiangbao a little unfamiliarly, and finally turned around and walked out.

When he turned around, Shi Lian was leaning weakly on the wooden couch, staring at Xiangbao.

"Get smarter." Seeing Xiangbao looking at him, he turned his head and said lightly.

Xiangbao raised his eyebrows: "Yes, for your little life, it's not good if you're not smart." Stepping forward, she struggled to put Shi Lian's arm on her shoulder.

"What for?" Shi Lian was stunned, a little unnaturally authentic.

As soon as he moved, the wound on Xiangbao's left shoulder immediately tore and ached, Xiangbao couldn't help but snort, Shi Lian was stunned, and didn't dare to move again.

"I don't want to see you hacked to death." As he spoke, Xiangbao looked around and saw that there was a curtain behind the bed, and he faintly saw that behind it was a large wooden barrel for bathing.

Holding Shi Lian, Xiangbao walked to the barrel with some difficulty, and he didn't expect that Fucha's sword would hurt him so badly. He was helped into the barrel and sat down, and Xiangbao sat in as well.

Although the barrel is large, it is still a little tight for two people.

"Why did you assassinate Zheng Dan's dormitory?" Lowering her voice, Xiangbao asked.

Shi Lian was silent.

"How many people came in?"

"Twenty." Just when Xiangbao thought he wouldn't answer, he suddenly opened his mouth.

Of the twenty people, is he the only one?

"Why did you save me?" Shi Lian suddenly spoke.

Xiangbao was slightly stunned and looked at him. Her face was close to his, and he turned his head a little uncomfortably: "If you don't want to answer, forget it." ”

Why? I started thinking he was Weiqin, so ...... After knowing that he was Shi Lian, why did she help him?

"Because you brought me out of the abyss under the cliff that day."

Shi Lian was silent.

"It's so cold, it's so dark, my life hangs on that branch that is about to break......" Xiangbao pursed her lips, "What a terrible feeling, now that I think about it...... I'm going to be shaking. ”

Shi Lian looked at Xiangbao in a daze, and almost reached out to comfort her.

"How dare you be so rude!" It's Hua Mei's voice.

There was the sound of footsteps, getting closer and closer. Xiangbao was busy silencing, not seeing Shi Lian's outstretched hand slowly retracted and clenched into a fist. And sure enough, they came.

Linglong, sure enough, she guessed correctly, she wished it was just her own suspicion.

"The king has an order, not to miss any corner of the palace, please forgive me." The tone is so tough.

The sound of those footsteps was getting closer and closer, and Xiangbao couldn't help but get a little nervous, and she unconsciously tightened Shi Lian's sleeve. Shi Lian lowered his eyes and looked at the hand that was tugging at his sleeve, so slender and so soft, he could even feel her temperature.

Maybe...... This was the closest moment he was to her in this life.

"There are assassins!" Outside the door, there was a sudden scream.

"Quick, out there!"

After a bit of noise, the footsteps finally died down. Xiangbao let out a sigh of relief and let go of his hand. Shi Lian looked at his sleeve in a daze, stunned.

As soon as the window moved, a cool breeze hit.

"Come out, it's okay."

Xiangbao looked up and saw that it was Yue Nu. The "There is an assassin" just now was shouted by her, right, she is also a person from Goujian?

"Smack!" A loud slap sounded.

Linglong slowly raised her head and looked at Hua Mei in disbelief, "You hit me?" ”

"Shut up! In vain I believe in you so much! Hua Mei looked angry, "You actually betrayed me, have you forgotten your identity?" ”

"Huh, identity?" Linglong sneered, "Didn't I pay enough for this?" ”

"Pay? When you first went to Tucheng, you should have understood what you had to face today, at least you are still alive now, who can so many dead sisters complain to? If the operation fails because of you, what face are you prepared to face the sisters under the Nine Springs! ”

"Look at my no-brainer, no-ghost look! I'd rather be dead! Linglong screamed.

Hua Mei covered her mouth fiercely: "Do you want to lure Wu Bing again?" ”

As if she had exhausted all her strength, Linglong suddenly quieted down and just cried silently. Hua Mei let go of her hand.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Linglong sat on the ground in despair, muttering with tears in her eyes.

Xiangbao was on the sidelines, silent. If Hua Mei hadn't gone out to block for a while, and Yue Nu appeared in time, they would have been arrested by now. Many things, as time passes, can no longer be returned. Just like the wound on Linglong's face, even if it can be healed, it will leave an indelible scar.

"I'll help you bandage the wound, although the poison has been resolved, it's better to bandage it." No longer watching that farce, Yue Nu said to Xiangbao.

"Let's take a look at Slen first, he's bleeding a lot." Xiangbao glanced down at his left shoulder, the blood was already bright red, and it was almost congealed, there should be no major problem.

"Bandage it, your body should be clear to itself." Yue Nu frowned, "If you continue to toss like this, the next time you have heart cramps, even I won't be able to save you." After a pause, she added in a low voice, "Wei Qin...... Leave it to me to take care of you. ”

"Then I'll bandage it myself, you can take a look at Shi Lian." Xiangbao compromises.

After hesitating for a moment, Yue Nu turned to look at Shi Lian's injuries.

"Bring some clean cloth." Yue Nu tore off Shi Lian's blood-soaked clothes and turned back to command.

Shi Lian snorted and did not speak.

"Yue Nu...... Don't you ask, how did he get hurt? Taking the strip of cloth handed by Hua Mei, Xiangbao looked at Yue Nu and said cautiously.

"I wonder how I could have come to your aid so coincidentally?" Yue Nu turned around and took the strip of cloth and looked at Xiangbao with an idiotic look.

"Huh?"

"What's my name?" Yue Nu asked.

"Hmm, Yue Nu." Xiangbao replied honestly, and then was stunned, "Are you Yueren?" ”

"Sooner or later, you will be found out by King Wu if you stay in the palace." While treating Shi Lian's wounds, Yue Nu said lightly, "I'll take advantage of the chaos to take you out of the palace tonight." ”

"But there are a lot of guards out there." Hua Mei hesitated.

"No problem." Yue Nu took care of Shi Lian's wounds and stood up.

"Then you can send Shi Lian out of the palace overnight." Xiangbao nodded.

"What about you, what are you going to do?" Hua Mei looked at Xiangbao with some concern.

For some reason, Xiangbao suddenly remembered the words of his husband, he said, the widow only waits for one day, if he doesn't see his wife come back intact before the sun goes down tomorrow, even if he turns Wu Guo upside down, he will find out you.

"Don't worry about me." Xiangbao Road.

Shi Lian raised his head, glanced at Xiangbao, and lowered his head a little weakly.

After being silent for a long time, Yue Nu helped Shi Lian up: "Can you go by yourself?" ”

Shi Lian nodded.

"I'll go get a set of clothes, you guys wait a minute." Yue Nu said and left in a hurry.

"Aren't you leaving?" Faintly, Shi Lian looked at Xiangbao.

Xiangbao nodded. Shi Lian didn't speak again, but suddenly drew his sword and pointed straight at Linglong. Linglong was stunned for a moment, and sat on the ground in fright, her face pale.

"What are you doing?" Hua Mei hurriedly stepped forward and blocked in front of Linglong.

"I don't worry about this woman." Coldly, Shi Liandao.

Xiangbao stepped forward and gently pushed away his sword: "You go now, she won't get in your way." ”

"I'll take a fancy to her." Hua Mei hurriedly assured.

"Besides, it's hard to explain one more corpse, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the corpse will stink if it can't be hidden for long." Xiangbao thought about it and said again.

"You're in the palace......" Shi Lian frowned.

"Don't worry about me, I'll protect myself." Xiangbao smiled.

Shi Lian's face was a little unnatural, he shook off his sword and snorted softly with his head sideways: "Who would worry about you." ”

Hua Mei on the side saw that the danger had passed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Linglong, who was sitting on the ground. Not long after, Yue Nu turned back and had an extra set of guard's clothes in her hand.

"Put on this and come with me."

Putting on his clothes, Shi Lian looked back at Xiangbao, and after a long time, he popped out a sentence of "idiot".

Xiangbao was stunned, and then he was angry: "Hey! I'm your savior! ”

Ignoring Xiangbao any more, Shi Lian turned around and disappeared into the night with Yue Nu.

Avoiding some terrifying wounds on his body, Xiangbao took a bath and stayed in Lanyue Pavilion.

In the wee hours of the morning, it suddenly began to rain. Before long, the rain became heavier and heavier, and there was occasional thunder.

Thunderstorms, has summer come unconsciously? After being woken up by the thunder, Xiangbao couldn't sleep anymore, lay down for a while, simply turned over and sat up, put on his clothes and leaned on the bamboo couch in a daze. A flash of lightning flashed, and the room was immediately illuminated, and then thunder rumbled. After this rain, the weather will get hotter and hotter.

There was a mess in her head, Xiangbao was actually a little scared, and with her husband's cleverness, how could she not see that she had deliberately let the assassin go......

He was so angry.

"You are mine, even if it hurts, you are not allowed ......to escape" coldly, the murmur of the husband suddenly sounded in his ears, Xiangbao was startled, and hurriedly turned back, but there was nothing.

With a sigh of relief, Xiangbao patted his somewhat hot cheeks and secretly laughed at his nervousness. That night of drunkenness, the grinding of her ears and temples suddenly came to her mind, and it was an experience mixed with pain and pleasure...... Xiangbao pinched her palm, feeling that the room was a little stuffy.
