Duan Shengyi couldn't remember where he was, couldn't distinguish the surrounding scenery and direction, and walked aimlessly.

Suddenly, she looked up and saw a familiar figure in front of her, dressed in bright yellow, her heart was full of surprise, and she hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty! Emperor's cousin! Before he could turn around, she trotted over herself.

When she got close to him, he slowly looked back at her.

She tilted her head slightly, raised her face, and kept a sweetest smile, but when she saw him slowly turn around, his eyes were bleeding, and there should have been a pair of bright and dazzling eyes, but now there were only two dark and terrifying deep holes.

Duan Shengyi was so frightened that she screamed, but she was hugged by Mu Churan's waist, so that she couldn't get out, and his strength became stronger and stronger, and she felt that her ribs were about to be squeezed by him.

"County Lord, County Lord!" A woman's soft voice beckoned from the side.

Duan Shengyi opened his eyes suddenly, but found himself lying on a bed, the pale orange curtain enveloped most of the entire couch, and the woman who spoke was kneeling on the edge of the bed on the other side, holding a bowl in one hand.

"I'm afraid the county lord is having a nightmare, please don't move yet, let the slave maid help you with good medicine." The woman held the medicine bowl and continued to smear something black and slimy on Duan Shengyi's body.

Duan Shengyi found that all his shirts had been untied, and even his belly pocket had been taken off. She showed a hint of shame, frowned, and just wanted to move, her ribs hurt tightly, so she had to give up this idea.

"The county lord can't move, otherwise he will have to re-align his bones." The woman reminded softly.

Duan Sheng gradually recalled the nightmare encounter before, when he was injured by the assassin and broke his ribs. She carefully identified the surrounding environment again, and found that this was still the palace of Nanyuan, so she asked the woman.

This woman is the medicine woman in the palace, and she came to treat her on the orders of the emperor. Because Duan Shengyi's injuries were serious and he was unconscious, it was inconvenient to move him, so Mu Churan specially ordered her to stay in Nanyuan to recuperate.

In fact, Mu Churan was also to prevent the news from leaking, and the royal garden was broken into by a group of assassins, and the spread was detrimental to the majesty of the heavenly family. All the living mouths that night were Mu Churan's cronies, and they were all silenced, and Duan Shengyi was also placed under house arrest by Mu Churan in the name of facilitating his injuries.

Duan Heng couldn't even control his sister, so he was the cousin who took care of it for him.

No one can say for sure whether it was because Xiao He replaced Duan Shengyi and was taken away as a hostage, which made Mu Churan a little angry with Duan Shengyi.

However, at this moment, Duan Shengyi had another idea, and she felt that Xu was left in Nanyuan because Mu Churan was enlightened for a while and understood her hard work. Although she is injured now, she has been favored because of this, what is it if she has a few broken ribs, and she is willing to break a leg.

Duan Shengyi grabbed the young doctor and asked, "Has Your Majesty ever come to see me?" ”

"If you go back to the county lord, you have come to see it once." The doctor thought for a moment and replied truthfully.

When Duan Sheng heard this, he was even more happy, the girl's thoughts were all written on her face, and she imagined Mu Churan sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at herself with concern and pity. The doctor looked at her with a little happy look, and wondered whether to make it clear to her, Mu Churan just stood at the door of the hall and asked the imperial doctor who was treating her if she was still alive, and her tone was extremely indifferent, and her face was terrifyingly cold.

Inside the main hall of Nanyuan.

Liu Zixin made a statement to Mu Churan, suspecting that the assassin was related to Xiao He. His reason was also very simple, "Obviously, His Majesty had already asked Lord Xiao to go back to the city first, and his carriage had already gone away, why did he appear here again last night?" This is clearly to make an appointment with someone to do something wrong! ”

Han Qiu, who was still waiting on the side, frowned, and didn't care about etiquette, so he retorted loudly: "My son-in-law was originally going back to the city, but he changed his mind temporarily, if it wasn't for the son-in-law who arrived in time, would you still be able to stand here and talk to your master?" ”

After Liu Zixin heard this, he looked at Han Qiu with disdain, "Look at this vulgar appearance, I don't believe that you are a scholar." ”

Han Qiu glared at him, showing no weakness, "Whether I am a scholar or a little girl, my son-in-law has the final say, do you need to dictate?" ”

While they were arguing, Duan Heng came in from outside, and he looked around outside, but he didn't have a clue, so he came back first to resume his life. Mu Churan's face was very ugly, and Han Qiu asked him to find it himself.

That Liu Zixin was still sneering on the side, "What are you looking for?" Definitely got home safely. It's all a group, making a show for us. ”

"Enough!" Mu Churan only spoke up at this time to stop him, although he could understand Liu Zixin's suspicion and vigilance, he could not allow him to slander Xiao He again and again.

Whenever he remembered Xiao He's thin body blocking in front of him, his heart ached inexplicably.

Even if there are many doubts there, but he believes her, so they can be invalidated and let him turn a blind eye.

"You go out and look for it again, inside and outside the city, increase the scope, and you must get her back for me!" Mu Churan said in a deep voice and waved his hand.

Duan Heng asked the imperial doctor about Duan Shengyi's situation, and then went out directly to find it. In public and private, he is the most dedicated person. Liu Zixin knew that Duan Heng had a personal relationship with Xiao He, but he thought that he was also a royal prince, no matter how much he had a personal relationship, it should not be as good as his friendship with the royal family, so he followed behind and listed his various doubts about Xiao He.

Seeing that he was so obsessed with Xiao He, Duan Heng couldn't help but ask, "What did Lord Xiao do to make you have such a prejudice against him?" ”

Liu Zixin drove the horse and walked a few steps in parallel with Duan Heng, and said to Duan Heng with a solemn and sad expression: "I'm afraid the prince doesn't know either, that Lord Xiao is a broken sleeve!" ”

Duan Heng was quite surprised, Liu Zixin actually came to this conclusion, and said a little suspiciously: "Could it be that Brother Liu knows something?" Duan Heng guessed that since Xiao He followed Mu Churan and them all the way south, Liu Zixin must have seen something to say this, and he couldn't help but be a little curious, plus some unspeakable sourness.

Liu Zixin made a deep gesture and shook his head, "Don't say, don't say." ”

Han Qiu followed behind and listened to some fragmentary sounds in his ears, and paid attention to the word "broken sleeve", although he didn't know what the broken sleeve meant, but according to Liu Zixin's tone and demeanor, he probably knew that it was something not very good, so he remembered it.

When Xiao He suddenly woke up, he found that he had fallen asleep leaning against the edge of the wine shelf, and there was no movement in the entire wine cellar. She thought the Assassin was gone, and was about to make her way to the cellar exit, when she was hit by something thrown at her.

It is a few pieces of clothing, and the soft fabric is in the middle of the door. There was no rumor at all, and he was thrown over like this, which made Xiao He can't help but admire that this person's internal kung fu is indeed profound. Almost at the same time, voices were heard in the darkness.

"Put it on. Let's go out. ”

Then the footsteps went a little farther away. After Xiao He changed his clothes, he followed the assassin out, only to look down and find that he had given him the clothes of the people of Nanyuan Palace. So, the two dressed up as palace people, and left quietly through the back door without being discovered.

At this time, Xiao He should have taken the opportunity to leave, but she noticed that this person did not take the initiative to let him go, so she simply didn't mention it, and came out with him, firstly, because she wanted to follow him to find out the details of Qinglong Hall, and secondly, because she was curious about this Jianghu organization.

If it was only based on his loyalty to Tang Qinghua, why didn't they do anything to Mu Churan a few years ago, so they chose this time to assassinate. Or is it that revenge for the so-called prince and prince is just a cover, and the real reason is only known to people in Qinglong Hall.

The two of them rode a horse together, and it only took half an hour to reach the gate of the imperial capital.

At the gate of the city, the city guard sent people to check the crowd of people, and because of the imperial order, they were very careful at the moment. The assassin had already prepared, exchanged the horse for a cart, and said to Xiao He: "You have to be obedient at this time. ”

Xiao He frowned slightly, and he pointed out that he couldn't move, and he secretly said in his heart that he was careless. After she was carried by him on the cart, he blindfolded her with a black cloth.

When she entered the city gate, she heard him tell the guards that he had brought his blind mute brother into the city to see the doctor. They were already wrapped in the clothes of ordinary people, and there were indeed no flaws in them. The guards guarding the door glanced at Xiao He who was lying on the cart, and let them in without asking too much.

Xiao He was taken by him all the way, walking through the streets and alleys, although he didn't know where to go, he had never heard all kinds of sounds around him. She listened intently until she entered a place filled with aroma.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and the handkerchief she was blindfolded was removed, and she was a little uncomfortable for a while. Although the lights in this room are not too bright, the decoration made of colorful silk brocade is dazzling. She hadn't been to this place before, but she knew it.

The famous Goolan courtyard in the imperial capital, the land of fireworks - Huan Ge Building, but now this hour is not yet the time to do business, and everywhere seems deserted. The man stuffed a piece of silver into the porch and gave it to the turtle who was yawning under the porch, and led them to an empty room upstairs.

"Childe, are you playing on your own? Or do you want to call the girls you know well? The turtle man said, and couldn't help but glance at Xiao He behind him. The glance swept back and forth between the two of them, and a meaningful smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

That expression was self-evident, which made Xiao He feel a little angry in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of dirty relationship this guy imagined himself and that person in his heart.

"No need to say hello, let's just rest by ourselves." The assassin waved his hand and told him to go out first.

After the others went out, the assassin turned around and asked Xiao He: "You don't ask me when the antidote will be given to you, are you really so afraid of death?" ”

Xiao He threw him a cold look, "What you gave me is not poison at all, and naturally there is no need for an antidote!" ”
