The wind blew in the treetops at night, the moon shadow was swaying, Qin Huai felt that the room was slightly cold and tossed and turned, she wanted to call Mingyue to get another quilt, but thinking that Mingyue had already been allowed to go back to rest, she gave up this idea.

She shrunk back and wrapped herself tighter, remembering over and over again what had happened today, she didn't know if she was doing it right, but she held on to the hope that her father would come and summon her if he knew.

"Whoosh-"

It was as if something was passing through the window.

Qin Huai didn't think about it, he just thought that the wind had blown something off, but the next moment, a long arrow shot in from the window and nailed straight to Qin Huai's bed beam.

She was startled and hurriedly sat up, hugged the quilt and shrank into the corner, and was already in a cold sweat behind her. She didn't know whether to shout for help or wait for an opportunity to escape.

Soon, the door was gently hooked open from the outside, and Qin Huai held his breath and didn't dare to move.

She only came back today, so someone is in a hurry to take her life?

Listening to the footsteps, there was more than one person coming, and she hid with trembling hands to peek aside, and she could see the bright scimitar in the dark night.

Her heart was tight, and she couldn't figure out who wanted her life, but she couldn't take care of it much when it was so dangerous, and she hurriedly groped around, but all she could use to defend herself was a jade pillow at hand.

Just as the hunched black-clad assassins were still a few steps away from her bed, a white-clad figure landed on the ground first, throwing out a burst of force with his sleeve, forcing them back.

The man in white turned around and picked up Qin Huai, and put her firmly on the beam of the room in three steps, and before Qin Huai could react, this person had already lit the candle in the room with a fire fold.

At this time, Qin Huai was condescending, seeing Gu Bai Xiu dressed in white staring indifferently at the five black-clothed people directly below her, she suddenly relaxed her heart.

She had seen Gu Baixiu's martial arts, and with him in these people, she was definitely not an opponent, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Gu Baixiu pulled out his Changxiao from his waist, and a few flew in front of those people.

Yu Xiao made a move, his clothes were flying, Gu Baixiu's good face hooked Qin Huai's heart again, she didn't see the moves he used clearly at all, and those people were subdued one by one.

Before Qin Huai could shout for him to stay, those assassins glanced at each other, tilted their heads and committed suicide by taking poison.

Gu Baixiu didn't pay attention to the corpses of these assassins lying on the ground, but once again climbed onto the beam of the room and hugged Qin Huai down.

"Princess, how are you?"

As soon as she got off the ground, Mingyue stumbled in, and immediately understood everything in front of her.

Qin Huai shook his head and glanced at the five people on the ground, unable to stop thinking nonsense.

"Could it be that my father wants my life?"

Although Qin Xuanlang is dead, but his father's doubts have not been solved, and the lack of evidence does not mean that the matter is false, what if the father decided to act secretly just to calm people's hearts?

Her heart was half cold, she didn't expect her father to be so disappointed in her......

Could it be that the nearly 20 years of getting along day and night are difficult to offset the difference in blood?

"No, these people's kung fu and clothing don't look like palace guards, but like killers in the rivers and lakes."

Gu Baixiu searched for any tokens on the assassins, and at the same time opened their mouths to check the dosage of the poison, and then opened his mouth to interrupt Qin Huai's thoughts.

Mingyue was anxious, pulled Qin Huai to sit down first, and remembered today's events.

"Could it be the county lord? It's also possible for the people of the Li family! ”

Qin Huai shook his head and analyzed.

"If she is really going to use this method to kill me, how can she live in the princess's mansion with all her might, and arouse suspicion in vain? And I just had a quarrel with Li Que today, if something happens on the second day, how can he say it clearly. ”

In the past, there were more than 100 guards in Qin Huai, and there were dozens of secret guards, but now these people have been transferred away by their father, and the princess's mansion is also in chaos.

Thinking of this, Qin Huai suddenly reacted, she had been immersed in loss these days, and had never thought about something.

"When I was trapped in the dark room, you were taken for questioning, but I could hear the noise outside. It stands to reason that many of the servants in the princess's mansion came out of the palace, and they will not be in chaos when they encounter this situation. And the men hired from the city might flee in fear, and there is no way to create such a panic, and I suspect that some of them have deliberately planned this. ”

Mingyue also twisted her eyebrows and thought about it, and then responded: "If the second prince is not dead, these things can be pushed on him, not to mention the farce in the mansion that day, but now that the second prince is dead, who should be so impatient...... What about your life? ”

"I've been proud for so many years, and I can't count the people who can't get used to me."

At the beginning, she had no one in her eyes, and even the queen had long been tired of looking at her, so what about those courtiers and concubines?

Once she gave him two slaps because of an unreasonable remark by Xu Jiyuan, a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and she was proud to give him thirty boards because of Concubine An's pampering, and the things she did can be said to be innumerable.

From an outsider's point of view, now that she has come out of the mansion of the Third Emperor Brother, it is equivalent to losing all the ability to protect herself.

Qin Huai understood that now was not the time to find out who wanted to kill her, if these people didn't go back tonight, they would definitely be discovered, and I was afraid they would send someone else to come again......

At this time, Gu Baixiu was still standing motionless, his face was as usual, as if he was waiting for Qin Huai's next order.

She is no longer a high-ranking princess, although she has not counted the treasury, but she also knows that she will not be able to come out with anything of value at this time. Not to mention feeding Gu Baixiu, I'm afraid I can't even protect myself.

*

Early in the morning of the second day, Qin Huai got up and went to Qin Yue's residence, but Qin Yue's close maid Bai Lu stopped her at the door.

"Our county lord hasn't gotten up yet, please wait outside the door for a while."

Bai Lu pulled a sharp voice, looked at Qin Huai with a flicked face and looked at Qin Huai proudly, not only did he not salute, but his tail was almost up to the sky.

is obviously a guest, but he put on a posture of the host's house.

This rainy monsoon is windy, do you want Qin Huai to stand outside the house and wait for her to get up?

Qin Huai was angry in her heart, if she had been in the past, she would have broken in and dragged her up by Qin Yue's ears.

However, she stayed up all night last night, and after thinking about it, she still decided one thing, that is, she would change her way of life from today.

She turned her eyes to see that Mingyue was also suppressing her anger because of her admonition yesterday, and thought to herself, how could she not lead by example.

"Your master doesn't recognize life, there is such a big thing in the whole yard and you can still sleep so well, sure enough, only a dull person like my cousin can live in such a daze."

Qin Huai deliberately amplified his voice, saying that Qin Yue was a stupid person, just to provoke Qin Yue to come out.

But it was obvious that Bailu would be wrong, she twisted her thin waist, and she didn't give face even more.

"Princess, it's normal for your current situation to encounter no matter how big things are, but our county lord is here to meet you this time, and we can't solve your problems."

This girl thought that she was here to ask Qin Yue for help, looking at her arrogant appearance, it didn't look like she had planned the assassination last night with her master.

At this moment, Qin Yue yawned and pushed open the door, and said with a smile: "Yo, cousin came so early, originally people said that older people feel less, but it turned out to be true." ”

Judging by her unwashed appearance, she should have just gotten up not long ago.

Qin Huai fixed his mind and said truthfully: "It is indeed a greeting, there was an assassin in the princess's mansion last night, so I wanted to see if my sister was affected here?" ”

"Assassins?"

Qin Yue was nervous at first, and then she figured it out, she stepped out of the room with Bai Lu's hand, and glanced at Qin Huai with her spare eyes.

"Bai Lu, I guess someone thinks that we are in the way here, and they are trying to drive us away?"

Seeing his master talking like this, Bai Lu hurriedly caught up with the conversation.

"I'm afraid the county lord is wrong, you are staying in the princess's mansion to save face for the princess, how can the princess be stupid enough to drive you away. Besides, our Hou Ye is His Majesty's own brother, if you and the princess really have any unpleasantness, this matter is not trivial. ”

Intimidate?

actually used the identity of Qing Bohou to suppress himself, Qin Huai sneered in his heart, this master and servant sang and reconciled, since they insisted that the assassin's matter was made up by Qin Huai, then she didn't have to continue to ask.

"My cousin is too worried, I just feel that my princess's mansion is very empty and silent, I wanted Mingyue to get me two monkeys, but now it seems that I don't have to spend that unjust money, it's too late for me to be happy."

Of course, Qin Yue refused to swallow this breath, and she was about to open her mouth when she was interrupted again by Qin Huai.

"It's a pity, our princess's mansion doesn't have good food to entertain guests, only food prepared for monkeys, and I'll let someone in the back kitchen bring it in a while."

I really raise myself like a monkey!

Qin Yue's heart trembled, but what if Qin Huai really didn't let the kitchen bring him food?

At this moment, she thought of one more thing, and smiled sweetly.

"Cousin, when I came yesterday, I already posted to the nobles in the capital, and tomorrow they will come to the princess's mansion as guests, and I also ask my sister to entertain me well."

Hearing this, Qin Huai was also shocked, and immediately asked: "Do you know what kind of place this is, how dare you openly convene a gathering of noble girls!" ”

This is her princess's mansion, Qin Yue even openly convened the dance music by herself, and did not treat herself as an outsider.

Seeing Qin Huai's obviously frightened appearance, Qin Yue smiled as if he had succeeded in his treacherous plan.

"Cousin, don't be afraid, this time I used my own name, just to meet my former friends, of course, also to brainstorm, to set a few eulogies for the prince's brother to scatter among the people, so that the people can see the prince's brother's life account."

Qin Huai underestimated her, and before she arrived at the princess's mansion, she had already thought about such a thing, and arranged the opportunity between the nobles and daughters in her own mansion, for fear that those people would not see her downfall!

Seeing that Qin Huai was speechless, Qin Yue added another fire.

"Cousin, you don't mean to refuse, do you? If you think that the prince's brother was so good to you, you won't turn your face and be ruthless, right? ”

The prince's kindness to her Qin Huai has never been felt, since she was a child, the prince has been raised in the East Palace, and it is rare to see each other a few times a year, and every time they are unhappy.

If the second emperor brother Qin Xuanlang is a villain, then this prince Qin Xuanyi is no one in his eyes.

It's just that since Qin Yue has found this kind of reason, if she openly refuses, not only will she be charged with disloyalty and unfilial piety in the eyes of outsiders, but even her father will probably be even more disgusted with herself. But if she does it well, this honor is also Qin Yue's, and she can't please herself.

"It's okay, I'll see how affectionate you are for the prince, what tricks you can write for the prince, don't disappoint me."
