Chapter 173: The Night of the Full Moon
Prince Shuo is dead!
Died at the hands of the intruding Assassins.
The news spread all over the world, and Lie Zechu ordered an all-out effort to track down the assassins.
At the same time, the scenery buried Lie Zeqing, the entire Great Lie Dynasty, hung white flags in March, ate fasting in March, and prayed for Prince Shuo.
After a few days of leisure, the ice finally recovered.
The injuries on her body barely left any scars, and she was still very satisfied with Wang Zhiqing's medical skills.
The sun was just right, and I stood in the small courtyard and stretched comfortably. I haven't moved my muscles and bones for a long time, so I made up my mind to go to the children to practice and see if their martial arts have improved.
As soon as the front foot stepped out of the hospital, before the back foot was lifted, it was stopped by Zhan Peng.
"Hey, big sister."
His innocent smile made her laugh involuntarily: "Shouldn't it be worth it today?" ”
"On duty."
"Then why are you here?"
Around here, there are already two secret sentinels, and arranging three of them is too much.
Although this courtyard is remote, it is not on the edge of the palace, and from the geographical point of view, there is no need to arrange so many secret sentinels.
Song Xuan was promoted to the chief of the guard, and she had no objection to this.
Song Xuan is the one with the most stable personality and the most comprehensive ability among all of them. Mature, calm, never panicked, and has strong leadership skills.
Ran Zongyan's eyes are not much different from hers, which makes her very pleased.
"I'm in charge of keeping an eye on the eldest sister."
Staring at her? I was puzzled.
"By the way, big sister, you can't get out of here."
Zhan Peng still smiled innocently and pointed to the half leg she had already come out.
Now Han Bing was stunned: "I can't go out?" ”
Zhan Peng nodded seriously: "Well, it's the prince's order." You are now a guest of Ping'er and Ninth Sister, so naturally you can only stay in their yard. There are other places you can't set foot in. ”
Isn't this a disguised way to lock her up again? It's just that the prison has been changed to this small courtyard.
"What if I have to go out?"
"Song Xuan said, you won't embarrass us."
Cold and icy, one by one, why do you see her so thoroughly?
"I'm going to the lotus pond now, and you can get me two bamboo poles or sturdy sticks."
He has a good plan, didn't she cross the wall ladder?
If she doesn't let her get involved, then she doesn't have to use her feet?
"Bamboo poles? What is it used for? ”
"Let's go to the lotus pond."
That's her lifeline, and she's been haunted by it since she failed last time.
"Oh, that big sister doesn't have to go."
"What's wrong?"
She suddenly had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, a woman's intuition is sensitivity.
"The prince has taken back the pool, and now, it doesn't belong to you anymore."
Han Bing didn't know if it was because she was too angry that she hallucinated, and she didn't feel annoyed by Zhanpeng's honest smile before...... Then why did she feel the urge to beat him up now?
From morning to dusk, Han Bing sat motionless on the broken chair in the courtyard.
Ping'er and Jiumei, who were already in good health, brought a lot of delicious things from the kitchen.
Although the emperor ordered the March of Lent, it was not binding on these high-ranking officials. Behind the scenes, it was time to drink, eat, and play, and it was not affected at all, and the same was true of the palace......
Ping'er was a little anxious: "Eldest sister, your body is just right, you have to eat some to have strength." ”
"Don't eat it, you can eat it, this dish is very good."
It can be seen that someone in the kitchen must have specially instructed that it is full of nutritious meals that are conducive to the recovery of patients.
Seeing that she refused again, Ping'er and Jiu Mei glanced at each other, didn't say a word, sat on the side and began to eat intently.
The aroma of food continued to stimulate her sense of smell, and her already hungry stomach suddenly began to protest strongly.
Han Bing hugged his legs and watched the sunset set little by little.
She was waiting, waiting for Ran Zongyan to return home.
I learned from Zhanpeng that he went out before dawn. As for where it went, he also did not know.
Even if Ran Zongyan was not in the mansion, she couldn't leave this courtyard. Otherwise, it would be a dereliction of duty on the part of the secret guards, which would bring them unnecessary trouble.
So she can only wait, when Ran Zongyan comes back, she must ask clearly, why can she go back with what she was given? And it was a unilateral announcement, without the consent of her, the party.
Not even a single notification...... It's just too much of a deception.
It's dark...... There is no news of him returning home.
The ice, whose patience had long since been exhausted, began to walk back and forth in the yard without stopping, leaving a deep footprint on the ground with each step.
She was venting, venting the anger that was rushing inside.
The already small courtyard is densely covered with her footprints.
Then in the stunned eyes of Ping'er and Jiu Mei, when she was about to repeat it again, the palace suddenly became lively.
Ran Zongyan is back!
Ping'er and Jiu Mei only felt a flower in front of them, and the cold figure disappeared.
"Sister Ping'er, what should I do? Did the eldest sister go to the trouble of the prince? ”
"Well, probably."
"How's that to be? Shall we go and see if we can stop it? ”
Ping'er smiled lightly, and pulled the ninth sister to the room: "Let's go, rest early." The eldest sister may not come back. ”
"Why?"
"Children's families, don't ask so many ......"
Han Bing stood at the door of Ran Zongyan's room, she was actually timid.
Obviously, she came to Xingshi to ask about the crime, and she came here, but she suddenly lost the courage to push the door in.
Why don't you knock on the door and take a look?
Before her hand could fall, the candle flame that was still lit inside was extinguished at once.
She was stunned on the spot, is this going to sleep?
Look up at the sky, isn't it early? Besides, not long after I returned home, I went straight to sleep?
People who used to often don't sleep in the middle of the night can sleep when the sky is still so bright?
Wait a minute!
Why is it bright?
The cold ice was like someone had pointed at it, and his whole body couldn't move.
The sky is not bright, because the moon is too bright, and it gives the heavens and the earth a layer of pure light.
Full moon night......
"Once it is the night of the full moon, the prince's illness will still recur, don't believe it, does the girl dare to bet with the old man?"
Wang Zhiqing's words kept echoing in her ears, and her heart suddenly rose.
To believe or not to believe?
In the end, she decided that seeing is believing.
Gently pushing open the window, she jumped lightly and stood firmly in Ran Zongyan's room.
She looked at the bed with trepidation, and it was empty......
What about people? He was the room she had seen with her own eyes, and then Yan Liangdong was waiting to wash up. She had been hiding outside, and she hadn't seen him come out.
But why is there no one in bed?
"Are you looking for this king?"
A cold voice came from her diagonally behind her, and the cold ice felt as if it was frozen, stiff and unable to turn back.
Was she put on a show by Wang Zhiqing? How would she explain this?
cleared her throat, and she finally chose to face it and never run away!
"I'm here to ask the prince about the lotus pond."
Thankfully, she had a perfect excuse.
She was answered by a long silence and his muffled grunt.
Feeling that something was wrong, Han Bing turned his head violently, and under the moonlight, Ran Zongyan's face was completely bloody, and the familiar and terrifying black line began to climb up from his neck again......
