This is a porcelain with a narrow mouth.

Shen Shu's hand only reached the neck of the pot, and it couldn't be stretched anymore.

She shook the body of the pot, and the water in the pot touched the wall of the pot, making a faint noise.

The sound of the empty sound, if you distinguish it carefully, is very similar to the empty sound of the medicine pot that day!

"There must be poison hidden in the bottom of this pot!" Shen Shu is determined.

When Shen Jinming heard this, his eyes widened in astonishment.

Shen Shu picked up the candle flame on the table with a solemn expression, walked up to Shen Jinming, and shone the light of the fire on his face-

Under the reflection of the candle flame, Shen Jinming's black pupils seemed to be covered with an abnormal layer of light gray.

Shen Shu closed her eyes and carefully searched the information that came to her mind when she tasted the "bamboo leaf flavor" hot water.

"The poison in this water is the gray cloth of the deep forest of Yunjiang, colorless, because it was born in the poisonous miasma bamboo forest, there is a very faint smell of bamboo leaves. If you take it for more than five days, you will lose your sight, and if you take it for more than ten days, you will bleed to death! ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Shen Jinming, but even the people eavesdropping on the roof, their faces changed in unison.

That's when —

"Bang-"

Outside the room, there was a sudden sound of broken porcelain.

Fuxi's voice came into the room from outside the courtyard: "What person! Come! Come on, there are assassins! ”

Shen Shu frowned deeply when she heard this.

At this time, it was the middle of the night, and if she was found in the third brother's room, she was afraid that she would be beaten to death by her father.

She hurriedly said: "You are not deeply poisoned, the antidote to Gray Buyi needs to be unraveled by needles, and you want to come to Taohuazhai tomorrow." I'll go first, this kettle, and the medicine pot in the meditation garden that day, should be from the same person, we must find out who it is. ”

Shen Jinming nodded solemnly: "You go, I'll go ahead and drag them, and early tomorrow morning, I'll go to Taohuazhai to find you after giving Daddy." ”

After saying this, Shen Jinming hurriedly walked towards the front yard.

Shen Shu wrapped her arms tightly, pulled her legs and ran towards the bamboo forest in the backyard!

She ran extremely fast, and the sound of her wet shoes "popping" and the rustle of bamboo leaves in the night breeze mixed together, as if mixed with some strange noises, so that she had no time to distinguish them, and she couldn't tell them.

Fortunately, the corner door is in the depths of the bamboo forest, not too far away from Shen Jinming's Mingyue Zhai.

Shen Shu panted through the corner door, locked it with her backhand, and pulled out the key.

He quickly wrapped the black big coat back into the oilcloth bag, went straight into the water, and swam in the direction of his yard.

Faintly, Shen Shu seemed to hear the third brother's courtyard, full of people.

She was full of joy in her heart.

Fortunately, I went to the third brother's yard on a whim tonight to find that the kettle was poisoned.

I'm even more glad that I ran fast, otherwise I was caught by the people sent by Daddy to guard outside Mingyuezhai, I'm afraid she won't want to go out of the house again in her life.

*

On the other side, Mingyue Zhaili.

Shen Jinming hurriedly walked to the front yard, and saw Daddybu's soldiers outside the courtyard, swarming in with bows and arrows on their backs.

As soon as Fuxi saw him, he rushed forward directly, his honest face was full of anxiety and concern: "Third Young Master, where is the assassin?" Are you injured? ”

As he inquired, the soldiers rushed straight into the room.

"Stop!"

Shen Jinming stopped in front of the soldiers, his face sank, and he glared at Fuxi fiercely: "What assassin?!" Fuki, are you hysterical tonight? What the hell did you see this time, what a fuss! ”

When the soldiers heard this, they all turned their heads to look at Fuxi.

They are all soldiers of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and they have been seconded here by Shen Changshi in the name of arresting them in the past few days.

On a big night, if you are played by a servant of the Shen Mansion as a monkey, it is not a beautiful difference.

"It's not a ghost, it's not a ghost."

Fuxi shook his head like a rattle, and said hurriedly: "Just now I entered the courtyard, I saw two figures lying on the roof, as soon as I made a sound, they flew down, they should have entered the room, did they hurt you?" ”

"What did you say?!"

Shen Jinming's face changed instantly.

He thought of Shen Shu who ran to the backyard: "Oh no! Fourth sister! Fast! Go after it! ”

After saying this, Shen Jinming took the lead and strode towards the back of the room......

*

Shen Shu went ashore, took off her wet shoes, quietly walked under her window, and threw the oilcloth bag and wet shoes into the grass and trees in the corner.

She looked back in the direction of the bamboo forest—

I saw that the wall of the inner courtyard was lit with fire, and the figures were crowded.

Shen Shu was shocked in her heart, she didn't dare to delay, and quickly jumped into the window and closed the window lattice.

The room was silent.

The maid who kept vigil, Green Peach, slept in the outer room, separated from Shen Shu's bedroom only by a wall.

Shen Shu didn't dare to light the lamp, took off her wet clothes in the dark, changed into the bedclothes that she took off before leaving, and quietly opened the window and threw the wet clothes into the grass and trees.

She had done all this with trepidation, and then looked at the fire on the wall in the distance, it was no longer as dazzling as before—

It seems that the third brother has already settled the people who are guarding outside Mingyuezhai.

Shen Shu breathed a sigh of relief silently, and was about to close the window lattice-

Suddenly, as if she thought of something, the back of her neck suddenly jumped cold, and her scalp was numb!

She remembered very well that before she left for Mingyuezhai, in order to prevent the maids from finding her leaving, she deliberately closed the window from the outside.

And just now, when she came back and jumped into the window, the window was open!

Between the electric light and flint -

Shen Shu thought of the gaze that seemed to be in the bamboo forest just now, and it was impossible to catch it.

and the strange sound mixed with the sound of bamboo leaves when escaping......

If this window is not opened by the green peach.

That's it—there's someone in her room!

With this thought, the hairs on Shen Shu's whole body exploded.

She instinctively denied the possibility of Green Peach entering the house.

It also instantly occurred to me that in Mingyue Zhai just now, Fuxi's "assassin" was not her, maybe it was ......

Shen Shu's body didn't move, but her eyes turned quickly.

In her limited vision, she couldn't see at all, and she couldn't feel at all where the person in her room was hiding.

Shen Shu's fingertips trembled uncontrollably.

She did her best to pretend that nothing had happened, and closed the window lattice.

Stretching out his hands and groping, he walked to the bed.

She took off her shoes, lifted the quilt, got into bed, and lay down.

The left hand seemed to be unconscious, reaching under the pillow.

Until I felt the cold and hard dagger hidden in the crack of the pillow.

Shen Shu's heart, which had been in her throat, was finally quietly put back in her stomach.

Very good.

Tonight, there are only two people in this room, her and Green Peach.

She looked in the mirror today, and there were no ash marks on her eyebrows.

Nine times out of ten, you can't die.

The eyebrows of the green peach are also very clean, and the same is true.

The person who hid in the house fled from the bamboo forest of Mingyuezhai into the inner courtyard, and did not go to the inner garden where it was easy to hide, hide, and escape, but she came to her peach blossom house.

It means that this person is coming for her.

If the third brother knew that the "assassin" in Fuxi's mouth was someone else, he would definitely come to Taohuazhai as soon as possible to check on her situation.

So now, she just needs to wait for an opportunity.

Just wait until the person in the house does something to her, so that she can surprise the opportunity to kill!

The thought just came to mind—

A strong wind suddenly hit from Shen Shu's right rear!

She only felt a numbness in her shoulder socket, and the hand that was holding the dagger tightly suddenly loosened.

A tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her couch, leaning down and staring at her, like Mount Tai pressing the top, with a suffocating majesty.

And his voice was low and hoarse, but there was a vague smile: "I just saved you, does the girl have to take revenge?" ”
