Chapter 494: The Mysterious Man in the Cabinet
"It's so late, I thought the princess wouldn't be back to the palace today." It's the voice of the nine.
"I received the news that the prince's brother had returned to Nanzhao, and I couldn't hold it back, so I rode back. I hope that when I wake up tomorrow morning, I can see the sweetheart that my brother brought back. can make the prince's brother tempted, it must be very good. ”
Leng Qinghuan was taken aback, Princess Nanzhao actually returned to the palace overnight, was this to check her Gu worms?
If she finds out that she is here, and the disguise is torn, it will be a big deal.
In the midst of the crisis, he glanced around, and there was no other hiding place except for a cabinet in the corner of the room.
She was as light as a tanuki, ran to the cabinet, stretched out her hand and pulled it, it seemed that there was a hidden lock, but it was not opened.
Listening to the footsteps, the two outside the door were already talking and approaching the door, and were about to open the door and come in. The lantern in the other party's hand was already shining through the window.
Leng Qinghuan panicked.
At the last moment, the door of the cabinet behind her quietly pushed open, and an arm stretched out from inside, covering her mouth and dragging her towards the cabinet.
This rush is definitely in time for the stimulating effect of the midnight bell.
When Leng Qinghuan was highly nervous, he coldly stretched out an arm from behind him. If it weren't for the other party covering his mouth and nose, he would definitely scream out loud.
The man in the cabinet lowered his voice: "Don't make a sound! ”
The situation was critical, and she swallowed her screams with fear. There was a wolf in front and a tiger in the back, and there was a danger to the left and right, and she turned around and entered the cabinet with that strength.
The man closed the door of the cabinet tightly.
At the same time, Princess Nanzhao entered the room with Qi Jiu.
The princess was dissatisfied: "The door doesn't know how to lock it, aren't you afraid that the blind will break in?" No wonder those Gu worms ran out today. ”
"Today, the villain has specially explained, who is so careless? Tomorrow, the villain will definitely inquire and ask. ”
The princess said "um": "Where did you just go?" ”
With the lantern in his hand, he looked around before continuing to speak.
"This person has superb medical skills, good skills, intelligence and wit, and is stunning, he is indeed worthy of His Royal Highness the Prince, the only regret is that his identity is not a good match."
Leng Qinghuan knew that the two were talking about themselves, but they were really in no mood to listen.
Obviously, the person in the cabinet must have sneaked in here quietly and had a plan.
It may be that his arrival frightened him, so he could only hide in the cabinet in a hurry.
Princess Nanzhao came back suddenly, if his whereabouts were discovered, then he would also reveal his identity. So, as a last resort, he could only pull himself into the cabinet and hide.
In this way, the two should be neither friends nor enemies, and they should not be opposed.
The cabinet was cramped, and she and the people in the cabinet had to fit tightly together to barely fit it.
The other party is obviously a man, Leng Qinghuan can know from the thin calluses in his palms and wide joints when he covers his mouth and nose that the other party is still a martial artist.
The two of them were close to each other, Qing Huan's back was close to each other's chest, and the body temperature was transmitted through the thin clothes, and it seemed that they could feel each other's strong and powerful heartbeat.
Moreover, the hot breath exhaled by the other party's mouth and nose was sprayed on the top of his head, and this posture was extremely ambiguous.
Even, Leng Qinghuan could feel that the other party's body was trembling slightly, as if he was a little excited, trying to endure something.
This reminded her involuntarily that on the Mid-Autumn Festival night five years ago, she hid in a cabinet in a large hall of the palace, Qi Jingyun came in from the outside, and the two of them hid together, blushing and heartbeat, very embarrassed.
The difference is that at that time, the cabinets were spacious and not so crowded.
She felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to move, lest she make a little noise and alarm Princess Nanzhao and Jiu Jiu outside. You can only prepare in secret.
She didn't even dare to look out through the cracks in the cabinet, and could only hear Princess Nanzhao talking to Mi Jiu.
The princess's voice was inexplicably familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it.
"What is she? It doesn't matter if it's honorable or humble, my father and mother are both enlightened people. ”
Qi Jiu said: "It's not that her background is good or bad, but that she already has a child, but she is a woman raised outside by the head of the enemy family in Jiangnan." ”
Princess Nanzhao was a little surprised: "Already married?" How can my prince's brother still look at such a woman? He has always had his eyes above the top. ”
"Maybe it's just a whim. This woman is cold and alienated from His Royal Highness the Prince, unlike those women who are submissive, but it stimulates His Royal Highness's desire to conquer. ”
Princess Nanzhao pouted: "I still think of a famous lady who makes the prince's brother value it so much." How can a married woman be worthy of him? I'm afraid I didn't do anything to my brother? No, I will go and inquire, lest they may be glad when they see my father and my mother in two days' time. ”
"It's so late, there's no rush at this time."
The princess walked around the room, and the footsteps stopped, and the sound seemed to have been lifted with a crisp sound as if the earthen pot had been opened.
"If he is resting, I will not disturb him." Princess Nanzhao closed the clay pot and turned around to inform Yu Jiu: "Remember to tell the guards to guard this place and don't relax." You know, although the epidemic in Chang'an has passed, as long as my mother Gu is still there, there will be a chance to continue to break out. ”
Mi Jiu respectfully responded: "He Chang'an people don't know this insect Gu technique, if it weren't for this Liangjiang Lady who made a stumbling block this time and ruined our big thing, who would have known that the source of this epidemic was a group of small insects?" ”
Princess Nanzhao snorted lightly: "Tomorrow I have to meet this Mrs. Liangjiang, since that Leng Qinghuan died, I really haven't met an opponent of equal strength." Let's see if she's as good as you say. Let's go. ”
The two of them made a round of inspection, and when they saw that there was nothing wrong, they turned and went out, locked the door from the outside, and left together.
The two people in the cabinet listened quietly with their ears, and when the footsteps were far away, there was no movement, Leng Qinghuan took the lead and pierced the silver needle prepared in advance in his hand towards the person behind him.
The other party seemed to have expected her trick a long time ago, and even at night, he actually caught her wrist accurately.
Leng Qinghuan missed the blow, so he no longer shot, but opened the cabinet door, jumped out lightly, flipped forward, and landed lightly. When she turned around, the person in the cupboard was already standing behind her.
The two looked at each other.
The other party was masked in a black scarf, revealing only a pair of eyes, staring at Leng Qinghuan with a burning eye.
In the dark, Leng Qinghuan couldn't see the color in his eyes, and lowered his voice and asked, "Who are you?" ”
