The man in black cautiously shuttled through Queen Lin's bedroom, and the guards outside did not notice that there was an extra person in the house.

The emperor was worried about Empress Lin's safety, and in order to protect himself, he arranged a master of the rivers and lakes beside Empress Lin.

Legend has it that this master of the rivers and lakes has very good hearing, and can hear voices from miles away. This master of the rivers and lakes is generally in the dark outside the emperor's bedroom.

This killer has always been wearing a mask, and no one has ever seen him in real form, except for the emperor. This killer only recognizes the emperor and the queen, and he does not obey other people's orders.

A few years ago, there has always been a legend about the man in black on the rivers and lakes: one night, the man in black stayed in the dark outside the emperor's bedroom as usual to protect the emperor's safety.

That night, an assassin infiltrated the main hall and prepared to assassinate the emperor, but the emperor was drowsy and unaware, but the man in black outside heard two different breathing sounds in the room.

Realizing that someone had sneaked into the Emperor's chamber but fearing to disturb the Emperor's rest, the Man in Black grabbed his bow and stabbed to death the Assassin who wanted to attack.

When the emperor woke up and learned the whole story, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Afterwards, the emperor rewarded the man in black heavily, and people began to know that the emperor had a guard who could hear several people in the house even if he was separated by a wall.

Since then, there have been far fewer people trying to assassinate the emperor.

In the main hall, the gilded incense burner is exuding circles of red sandalwood. There is a bed in the center of a room almost as large as two classrooms.

The quilts on the bed are all edged with fine gold threads, and the square pillows are hand-embroidered with a phoenix spreading its wings.

The queen was sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes closed in contemplation.

The man in black walked lightly in front of Queen Lin and knelt down. The man in black knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists and said, "See the queen mother for the little one." ”

Queen Lin slowly opened her eyes, not surprised at all by the person Queen Lin who appeared in her room late at night, but was unusually calm.

Empress Lin said unhurriedly, "You're here?" …… Get up, you don't have to be too restrained if there is no one else here. ”

After thanking the queen, the man in black got up and asked, "I don't know what the queen called me so late?" ”

Although this master of the rivers and lakes was found by the emperor, he was also loyal to the queen. The man in black has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has always been tight-lipped and knows what to say and what not to say. For so many years, I only did my part.

That's why Empress Lin thought of looking for him to carry out this assassination plan.

Empress Lin was afraid that the more Chu Xinying knew about the incident back then, the more unfavorable it would be to herself and Chu Yufei, plus Chu Xinying had hidden for so many years, and he definitely wanted to avenge his mother.

How could he miss this great opportunity, and now he doesn't know what Chu Xinying is going to do next. Therefore, he must kill Chu Xinying before he acts, otherwise it will be his own Chu Yufei who will be killed.

Empress Lin said calmly: "Seventh Prince Chu Xinying, you know, you find an opportunity to kill him, go to a place outside the city to bury him, remember that this matter must not be known to others." After Queen Lin finished speaking, the man in black left through the window again, without stopping for a moment, without dragging mud and water at all.

Since then, the man in black has been secretly observing, looking for a suitable opportunity to assassinate Chu Xinying.

Chu Xinying completely got rid of the image of being stupid, Chu Xinying handled government affairs during the day, and as soon as she had time, she couldn't wait to go back to her palace to find Qin Xue Chuhan, when the two of them got along together, the air was filled with pink bubbles.

One day, the annual lantern festival is held in the city. This is a tradition left by our ancestors and has been carried down to this day. At that time, the streets and alleys of the city will be placed with lanterns of different shapes and unique shapes.

At such times, boys and girls bring their own lanterns prepared in advance and put them into the river. At the same time, I made a wish, and I heard that the wish made in this way is likely to come true.

On this day, Chu Xinying was very happy when she heard about the folk lantern festival. Qin Xue Chuhan always complained that life in the palace was too boring and boring,

There were too many rules and regulations, and Chu Xinying decided to take Qin Xue Chuhan out secretly to have a look.

Chu Xinying asked Qin Xue Chuhan to dress up as a maid and pretend to be her maid. The two of them slipped out of the palace without incident.

The two of them were walking in the market and looking at the dazzling array of goods, Qin Xue Chuhan looked at a sachet in the distance, and did not notice the carriage rushing from behind. Just when the carriage was only a few meters away from Qin Xue Chuhan, Qin Xue Chuhan suddenly turned around, but it was too late at this time.

Qin Xue Chuhan thought that he was going to die in a car accident at a young age, and he was so frightened that he couldn't even move his feet. At the last moment, Chu Xinying stopped and hugged Qin Xue Chuhan and moved Qin Xue Chuhan to a safe place. Qin Xue Chuhan and Chu Xinying looked at each other, Qin Xue Chuhan looked at Chu Xinying's deep eyes, and there was only one person in them.

Chu Xinying put Qin Xue Chuhan down, sorted out his clothes and said, "Be careful in the future, you must not be distracted when you walk on the road, do you hear?" Xu was just frightened, and Qin Xue nodded lightly for a long time.

The man in black has been secretly probing and found that Chu Xinying and Qin Xue Chuhan secretly went out of the palace to the market tonight. There are many people in the bazaar, and the place where Chu Xinying was killed is the best in the bazaar, firstly, it can be avoided by anyone, and secondly, even if someone finds out, it can be said to be an accident, and no one will investigate it too much.

Qin Xue Chuhan and Chu Xinying came to a stall selling lanterns, and the two of them had to buy ready-made ones without making them themselves in advance. The two of them carried the lanterns they bought to the place where there were few people by the river, put the lanterns into the water, and folded their hands to make a wish.

At this moment, Chu Xinying suddenly stretched out a black hand behind his back and was about to push Chu Xinying into the water, Chu Xinying suddenly opened his eyes and turned sideways to avoid a section. When Chu Xinying closed his eyes, he felt that someone was very close to him, and he was very uncomfortable, so he wanted to look back, but that person had already made a move.

The palace was heavily guarded, and it was not so easy to kill Chu Xinying under the emperor's nose. But now that Chu Xinying and Qin Xue Chuhan ran out by themselves, without the protection of the palace, it was naturally much easier. Chu Xinying sneaked out, and he didn't bring an entourage or guard with him. It's a great time to start.

After Chu Xin had a brief discussion with the man in black, Chu Xinying's physical strength had already consumed most of it, but Chu Xinying had always protected Qin Xue Chuhan behind him. Chu Xinying does not have an advantage in numbers, so he can't fight. Chu Xinying knew that his martial arts were not the opponent of the man in black
