With a soft sound of "ding-", the short knife came out of its sheath, and the cold light flashed.

Zhong Liang was still lying motionless, not reacting at all.

Pu Jia tiptoed back to Luohan's bed, calmed down, and slowly raised her right hand holding the knife.

She's used to killing. There was no difficulty in this matter, as long as it was aimed at the back of the heart, everything would be fine with a knife.

At this moment, this short knife seems to weigh a thousand catties. Pu Jia tried her best to collect her mind, but her wrist was still trembling slightly.

How can you kill people like this!

Pu Jia secretly scolded herself in her heart for being useless, but on the other hand, she couldn't help but feel sad.

This short knife was originally customized for her by Zhong Liang with the best swordsmith in the Great Zhou, and over the years, she had accompanied her to cut mutton, break through wolves, hack to death and slash countless gangsters and thieves—and now she was going to use it to kill him.

If the sword has a spirit, let it weep blood.

Cranky thinking is the most important thing at a critical moment. Fortunately, Pu Jia quickly came back to her senses, and gave herself a moment with the tip of the knife, and then she sobered up a little.

The emotion is right, and the knife in his hand is held steadily. Pu Jia held her breath and leaned forward, her right hand holding the knife raised high—

At this moment, two soft sounds suddenly came from the door panel: "Knock! Boom!! ”

It wasn't loud, and you could even hear a little cringe and hesitation. But at this moment, Pu Jia's whole body was tense, and such a slight sound sounded like thunder in her ears.

Zhong Liang is perceptive and suspicious. The slightest knock on the door, or the change in the breath of the person next to him, was enough to wake him up from his deepest sleep.

Pu Jia only had time to put down the arm holding the knife. It's too late to cover it up.

"What do you do?" Zhong Liang asked sharply.

Pu Jia was speechless for a moment, and involuntarily took two steps back under her feet, her lips moved, but she couldn't speak.

At this time, the door opened with a "clang", but the person outside the door heard the movement and couldn't help but break in.

Yuan Xiuzhen.

The elegant and demure beauty quickly turned the screen, and suddenly saw the short knife in Pu Jia's hand, and immediately turned pale with fright: "Oh my God! Princess, what are you doing?! Cousin—"

At this time, Zhong Liang's vision was a little clearer than before. He originally opened his eyes because he sensed the danger, but when he saw the short knife, and then looked at Pu Jia's panicked look, what else did he not understand?

Pu Jia knew that she couldn't quibble, so she simply turned her heart sideways and sneered: "You said it yourself: kill you while you are asleep, and I can change to a colt!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Xiuzhen, who was already colorless, let out a low exclamation, and hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth, and her weak body was about to fall.

Zhong Liang stared at Pu Jia for a while, and suddenly his face softened, and he smiled: "Crazy talkers, it's getting more and more unlikely!" The cousin of the Yuan family is the most gentle and cowardly, you beware of scaring her, your aunt is looking for you desperately! ”

Yuan Xiuzhen stood firm with the screen, looking at Zhong Liang in a daze, with a blank expression.

Pu Jia was even more stunned.

Since she "came back" yesterday, this is the first time she has seen Zhong Liang smile.

Although the smile seemed like something was missing, his tone was indeed relaxed and intimate, more like...... The daily flirt between lovers.

Thinking of this, Pu Jia only felt a blockage in her chest, and she almost felt nausea.

Zhong Liang looked at her a little helplessly, and his smile deepened: "The guest is here, why don't you put the knife away?" What a frizzy look! ”

Pu Jia subconsciously obeyed his orders, inserted the short knife back into the sheath with her backhand, and put it away.

Yuan Xiuzhen hesitated, and stepped forward lightly: "Soldiers, murder weapons." Princess, be careful......"

"It's okay," Zhong Liang interrupted her in a deep voice, "the princess won't even have that little bit of proportion. ”

Yuan Xiuzhen was choked with this sentence, and her face became more and more bloodless. A teardrop glistened brightly, swirling in the corner of her eye.

Pu Jia knew that Zhong Liang definitely didn't protect her out of kindness. But at this moment, her heart was in a mess, and she couldn't guess what kind of medicine he was selling in this gourd.

After thinking about it for a while, she finally chose to give up thinking for a while, looked up and asked Yuan Xiuzhen, "It's early in the morning, why did my cousin come to our house?" ”

Yuan Xiuzhen avoided her gaze in a panic, and bowed her head to salute: "Everyone in the family is already waiting in Chunxuan Hall, and Xiuzhen is ordered by the old lady to come and ask the princess to deign to move." ”

"So?" Pu Jia squinted her eyes and looked at her, and smiled lightly: "In a word, just send a girl to say it, how can you labor your cousin to come so far early in the morning?" ”

Yuan Xiuzhen lowered her head for a long time, and her pale cheeks turned suspiciously red.

Pu Jia looked at her coldly, thinking that there would be silence for a while, but the girl suddenly raised her head: "My cousin is seriously injured, and my uncle has ordered that no medical treatment will be allowed, and this time will definitely be difficult." Xiuzhen is a little familiar with medical science, and my aunt specially instructed me to take care of it for a few days in case of accidents. ”

Pu Jia nodded, indicating that she understood.

Yuan Xiuzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense little face was obviously stretched a little.

Unexpectedly, instead of putting on makeup and going out immediately, Pu Jia took two steps back and sat down again: "I don't have a shortage of people here for the time being, and I don't dare to work my cousin to worry about us and suffer." I don't like to see outsiders, so I ask my cousin to go back and tell the old lady that I won't go to Chunxuantang. ”

"How does this work?" Yuan Xiuzhen's face changed, "Tea and worship the elders on the second day of the wedding, this is the rule, how can you not go?" ”

Pu Jia sat steadily, and the smile on her face faded: "Really? I didn't know there was such a rule, and in the past, people always came to worship me. - Cousin knows the way back, right? My girl hasn't come back from running errands, so I won't send you. ”
