Chapter 643: The game has just begun
Inside the palace, it was very quiet at this time, even if the lights in these palaces had not been extinguished, but there was no sound at all, except for the cry of the gnats coming from the forest.
Such an atmosphere, coupled with the red silk that was blown around by the wind, really made people feel a little creepy.
After Xia Zhixue returned to the house, she planned to take a bath and change clothes.
After instructing the maids to prepare the water, Xia Zhixue looked at the hot water and looked at it for a long time. As soon as he slid the clothes off his body, he heard some movement outside the door, so he pulled back a piece of clothing vigilantly.
"Who...... Who's out there? Xia Zhixue crept slowly to the door.
"Is anyone outside?" Xia Zhixue felt a little panic in her heart.
β¦β¦
Xia Zhixue shouted a few times, but no one answered, not even the maid.
Xia Zhixue muttered in her heart, who else would make a movement outside the face on this big night, it might be an animal, but what if it wasn't?
Xia Zhixue hesitated for a long time, but still tiptoed the door and slowly opened a gap.
Coming out of the crack in the door, there was nothing but the cold wind. There was no one at all, and Xia Zhixue was now wondering if it was her own delusion just now.
But curiosity still drove Xia Zhixue to walk out slowly. Xia Zhixue straightened her clothes and clasped her hands in front of her chest.
After looking outside this door for a long time, Xia Zhixue still didn't see anything.
Just as Xia Zhixue was about to turn around and leave, he looked at a new dart on the door beam, and a note was nailed to it. Xia Zhixue remembered that when she came in just now, this thing was not there, was the voice she heard just now coming from this, then it means that someone has sneaked into the palace.
Xia Zhixue stood on her tiptoes and took down the paper on the dart. Now she is more and more scared in her heart, now that the palace is so heavily guarded, this dart can be silently nailed in front of her door, which shows that the owner of the nail dart, how powerful it is, she has no way of knowing.
Xia Zhixue opened the layer of paper, and there were only a few words on itβthis was just the opening scene.
The words snow seemed to be ghostly claws, ripping Xia Zhixue's heart little by little.
Ben casually put on his clothes and said that if he returned to the palace with Ouyang Huaiyu, it would be safer, but in this situation, there was nowhere to hide.
Xia Zhixue dragged the paper ball and had no sleep all night.
β¦β¦
The maid who came to report at dawn the next day hurriedly ran to Xia Zhixue's room.
A knock on the door sounded urgently, and Xia Zhixue tidied up her clothes and went to open the door.
"The emperor asked the slave maid to come and tell the princess that the seventeenth prince has woken up and is now having breakfast with the emperor."
Xia Zhixue cried with joy in an instant, and all her troubles had disappeared. Carrying his skirt, he ran towards Ouyang Huaiyu's room.
When Xia Zhixue ran to the place sweating profusely, she saw Ouyang Huaiyu looking at her innocently.
Ouyang Huaisen knew that Xia Zhixue and Ouyang Huaiyu must have a thousand words to tell now, so he had to leave the room silently, leaving the two of them to reminisce alone.
"Do you still know that when you wake up, what's the matter, Lord Yama won't accept you?" Xia Zhixue said angrily.
"Do I dare to die without your orders?" Ouyang Huaiyu had another unbeaten expression. Chase the book
Xia Zhixue stood there in a daze, tears flowing out: "Also, if you dare to die, you can try." β
Ouyang Huaiyu's eyes were also red, he knew that Xia Zhixue must have been very sad when he was in a coma.
β¦β¦
Xia Zhixue fed Ouyang Huaiyu a few bites of the things she brought: "If you eat good things, you can rest well, I ...... I kind of wanted to rest, so I went back first. β
Ouyang Huaiyu originally planned to stay with Xia Zhixue for a while, but thinking about it, Xia Zhixue must have guarded himself all night last night, and now he may not have rested, so he didn't stay any longer.
"Well, it's okay, you should go back and rest early." Ouyang Huaiyu smiled dotingly at Xia Zhixue.
Xia Zhixue nodded, put down the bowl in her hand, and went out.
Xia Zhixue actually didn't want to rest, or about the note last night, she originally wanted to tell Ouyang Huaiyu, but thinking that he was seriously injured now, it was not good to worry him, it was better to tell Ouyang Huaisen directly, no matter how he said he was also the lord of a country.
After Xia Zhixue came out, she went straight to the main hall, and her father-in-law outside the door stopped her, and then Xia Zhixue said that she had something important to do, so her father-in-law went to report it.
"Why did Zhixue come to me?" Ouyang Huaisen looked a little tired.
Xia Zhixue took out a note from her pocket, and then this Ouyang Huaisen said: "Last night, someone sent it, and I don't know what to do now." I originally wanted to tell the prince, but thinking about it, he was seriously injured and couldn't do anything about it, so he wanted to tell the emperor and see what the emperor could do. β
Ouyang Huaisen's face became ugly when he took the note, this huge palace was so heavily guarded, but it still allowed thieves to enter and exit freely.
"The next thing, I'll go back and think of a way, don't be in a hurry to tell the seventeenth brother about this matter first." Ouyang Huaisen waved his hand and asked Xia Zhixue to go back first.
Things are getting more and more complicated now, and the situation doesn't seem to be in their favor.
Now that they are in the light and the enemy is in the dark, it is not easy to catch them.
β¦β¦
When the man in black returned, he went to see Xinglei.
"How?" Xinglei asked, but looking at the appearance of the man in black, he already had the answer in his heart.
Star Thunder would have thought that the man in black would be successful in this operation, but this accident was really unexpected.
"Originally, there was a chance to solve Ouyang Huaiyu, but who knew that Jian Ling would suddenly appear that day." The more the man in black spoke, the angrier he became.
Xinglei felt that he was just lacking in his ability, and he felt that if it was him Xinglei who went out in this operation, he would definitely succeed, not like this, he was injured and fled.
"It's okay if this operation fails, but next time it happens." Although Xinglei was lost, he didn't blame too much.
After all, now two people are grasshoppers in the same boat. Cannibalism will only bring benefits to the other side.
"But then we have to act more closely and not go too far." Xinglei couldn't help but sigh.
The current situation is still very beneficial to them, after all, Ouyang Huaiyu and Ouyang Huaisen still don't know anything about them, even if there is a particularly powerful Jian Ling by their side, as long as they avoid him, things will not happen, there are too many accidents.
As long as they go according to plan, revenge can be done soon.
"It's time for you to put on a show, right?" The man in black smiled wickedly.
Xinglei rubbed his fingers and smiled: "Next, you just wait to see my good performance." β
