Chapter 17: Assassination

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

The lights in Chu Ning's house had already been turned off, and the palace people had all stopped one after another.

It was Jade who was on duty for the night, but when she was sitting in the corner and napping, she was silently put down.

The man pushed the door open and entered, and with astonishing eyesight, he bypassed the screen of the table and chair in the room and walked to the couch in the inner room.

Behind the layers of gauze curtains, the silhouette of a quilt bulges through the couch.

Chu Ning should have slept on his side facing the wall.

The man clenched the dagger in his hand, stepped forward slowly, lifted the curtain, and stabbed the quilt.

There was no sound coming from the quilt, and no blood was seeping out.

Suspicious that he hadn't stabbed deep enough, he picked up the dagger and stabbed him several times in succession.

Why is there no sense of blockage from the tip of the knife entering the flesh?

He was slightly stunned, and was about to reach out to pull the quilt, but there was a chill on his neck.

With a stroke of the golden hairpin, he was pierced by the golden hairpin, and blood beads appeared.

He didn't dare to act rashly, the golden hairpin pressed against his veins, touching the fragile surface as if out of nowhere.

"I'm sorry," the girl behind him laughed, "There is no thin quilt in the palace, and in the summer, you can only throw the thick quilt on the couch." ”

After Chu Ning sent Han Tang out of the palace, it was late at night when he returned to Heyi Palace.

She first went to the little pendant's room to change back into the princess's clothes, but when she returned to the room, she saw Jade lying at the door.

Chu Ning's heart tightened, pulled out a golden hairpin and held it in his hand, and quietly entered the room.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw someone poking her quilt and almost didn't laugh out loud.

"However, you poke a few big holes in the quilt of the main palace, and it should be much cooler to cover it, but it is very considerate."

The assassin's heart was crossed, and he suddenly became murderous again, "Enough, let's die." ”

As he spoke, he slammed his elbow back, hitting Chu Ning in the abdomen, she was knocked to the ground, and Jin Hai also fell to the side.

The assassin slashed down with a crisp thud, and his wrist was struck by a porcelain cup.

With a clang, the dagger landed.

The Assassin's wrist was numb from the shock, and when he realized that someone was coming, he picked up the dagger, turned and fled.

Chu Ning shouted at the assassin's back: "Go back and tell your master, don't want to know the whereabouts of the jade seal if you kill this palace." ”

As the Assassin stormed the door, he collided with Xiao Pendant, who had come to check on the situation.

In the dark, Xiao Shen'er only vaguely heard a "jade seal", and was a little stunned by the person, and was stunned at the door.

Chu Ning got up, and when he saw that it was Xiao Shen'er, he hurriedly asked loudly: "Jade!" Where did you go? ”

Xiao Shen'er was puzzled, "The slave is Xiao Shen'er, is Your Highness looking for Sister Jade?" ”

Chu Ning sighed in his heart, sent away the little pendant, and looked back at the silver-haired man who slowly walked out behind the curtain.

"You want to save this little girl's life?"

Chu Ning nodded helplessly and said, "I hope the assassin has gone far away and hasn't recognized Xiao Shen'er." ”

Liu Tingchuan picked up the golden hairpin that fell on the ground, brushed off the dust on it, and put it back on Chu Ning's bun.

Chu Ning turned his head to look at him, "The poison in this palace has been resolved, why are you still coming over tonight?" ”

There was a trace of ambiguous feelings in Liu Tingchuan's eyes, "I calculated that His Highness was in trouble, and I came here to resolve it for His Highness." ”

In the memory of the original owner, although he was a young national teacher, he never believed in ghosts and gods, and only used ghosts and gods as a tool to deceive people.

Chu Ning smiled with crooked eyebrows, "This kind of thing, it's okay to lie to others." ”

Liu Tingchuan's silver hair was faintly shining in the dark, and he stood there faintly, indeed having a bit of a worldly and independent immortal appearance.

"Somebody will believe it." He lowered his eyes, and Chu Ning couldn't see his expression.

Chu Ning rarely had a bit of the original owner's girlish heart in front of him, and asked reluctantly: "Then you have to deceive this palace until you believe you." ”

Liu Tingchuan said lightly: "I'm afraid that I will be in trouble. ”

He never said what was on his mind, and naturally he wouldn't tell Chu Ning, he was afraid that she would be abducted by Han Tang.
