12. Strange assassin in black
Shen Qinghuan brushed aside the bamboo leaves, and a burst of plum fragrance mixed with the smell of wine rushed into the tip of her nose, and she felt that it smelled very good. There is still a little pride in my heart, not to mention anything else, her winemaking skills are among the best. Thinking like this, the depression in her heart temporarily disappeared.
Qing Huan was about to put the wine in her mouth, when she heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and she frowned slightly. He put down the jar in his hand and walked cautiously towards the place where the sound came from.
Seeing a dark "thing" in the corner, she squinted her eyes and said, "What is it?" ”
The "thing" suddenly moved, and Shen Qinghuan was so frightened that he took a few steps back, it turned out to be a person! The man walked forward quickly, covered Shen Qinghuan's mouth with his hand, and whispered, "Don't make a sound, find a place for me to hide." ”
A smell of blood wafted in, "Hmm... Hmm...... "Shen Qinghuan really has a hard time and can't say it, in order to drink happily, she deliberately broke away with Ah Jing, now it's good...
Listening to his voice, it seems to be an adult man. Her eyes kept glancing at the people behind her, and all she could see was darkness and a pair of deep eyes.
She thought to herself, could it be that Jiang Yang thief stole something from the house and was hunted down? That being the case, in order to save her life, she might as well hide him first, and then report him to Daddy at that time.
Shen Qinghuan stretched out his hand, pointed into the room, and motioned for him to go inside.
The man in black held her hostage with one hand and covered his chest with the other, and it could be seen that the smell of blood must have come from here.
Qing Huan quickly found a dark corner in the room, asked him to hide in, and instructed him: "You are here, don't move, wait for me to send the people outside, and tell you, you come out again, you know?" ”
The man in black didn't speak, but there was a flash in his eyes.
Shen Qinghuan didn't stay any longer, and immediately walked out. At this moment, six soldiers walked in from outside, and she was a little strange, the person who came was the Janissaries in the palace, not the people in the palace.
She couldn't help but subconsciously glance back, doubting the identity of the person in the room.
"Little county lord, we were ordered to arrest a court official, I don't know if the little county lord saw a man in black here with blood on his body." Said the Praetorian Guard, who took the lead.
Shen Qinghuan couldn't help but gasp, the person she saved was actually a criminal in the imperial court? So should she tell them that the man was in the house at this time?
When he was struggling, Chen hurriedly walked in and said, "A few military masters, have you caught that person?" ”
The Praetorian Guard, who took the lead, said respectfully: "Madam, you haven't caught it yet." We were planning to search the courtyard of the little princess. ”
Search? Shen Qinghuan was a little unhappy for a moment: "I said I didn't see it, do you want to search it too?" ”
"This..."
Chen glanced at Qing Huan and said, "Xiao Huan, you really didn't see it?" ”
"Seriously." If you lie, you always have to be round, Shen Qinghuan said without changing her face.
Chen smiled and said to the Praetorian Guards: "The military master saw it, but my little girl didn't see the criminal, and my little girl didn't cover it up. Besides, it's always hard to search for my daughter's boudoir, right? ”
"Then, there is a lot of disturbance, and the subordinates retire." Praetorian Guard.
Chen looked around and asked, "What about your subordinates?" ”
"I'm going to break it up." Qing Huan said.
Chen caught a glimpse of the scattered wine on the ground not far away, and said, "You, the one who is going to get married, is still drinking." ”
"Mother, it's because I'm getting married, I can't drink casually in the palace anymore. I'm just going to have a few more sips now. Chen shook his head and was about to leave, but suddenly turned around, looked at Qing Huan and said, "Xiao Huan, go back and burn this dress." ”
Qing Huan was startled, and when she looked down, there was a drop of blood in the place where the skirt was not obvious.
Qing Huan wanted to say something, but saw that Chen had already turned his head and left.
She scratched her head and hurried in, only to find that the man in black was gone.
Shen Qinghuan felt that her heartbeat was a little fast, everything that happened just now was like a dream, her mother knew that she was covering the man in black, but she deliberately ran to help her out of the siege, and pretended not to know, why is this?
The man in black was a key criminal of the imperial court, how could he come to the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Perhaps, what is the connection between this man in black and his father and mother?
Just thinking about it, Ah Xin suddenly walked over and said, "Miss, what just happened?" I heard from them that there was a man in black in the courtyard? And how many other Praetorian Guards are coming? ”
"By the time you came, I would have been killed by the man in black." Shen Qinghuan lightly nodded Ah Xian's head and said, "Go and bring in the jar of wine under the peach tree." ”
Ah quietly obediently obeyed his fate.
Holding the wine, Shen Qinghuan had no desire to drink, and lay on the couch, a little dazed by these things. The deep eyes of the man in black appeared in her mind from time to time, making her feel a little distant.
