Hearing this, Chu Nian suddenly frowned, and heard a scream from the west wing, which sounded like Qiao'er, Chu Nian's figure suddenly burst out, and Tao Jinyan glanced at each other, and the two went to the west wing together.

At this stall, I saw Mei Xiang's face full of panic, and her eyes were slightly red: "Lady! Wife! There are assassins who put Zhu's mother ......"

As soon as she was halfway through her words, she felt a breeze blowing by her side, and then, the plain white figure disappeared around the corner, and Tao Jinyan also followed, while looking at Mei Xiang who came up, and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, tell me, what's going on?" ”

Mei Xiang followed behind Tao Jinyan, opened her mouth, her eyes were so red that she couldn't say why, seeing this, Tao Jinyan had to patiently soothe: "Slow down, what do I ask you, what do you answer." ”

"But the assassin is here?"

Mei Xiang nodded.

"Someone hurt?"

"Zhu, Zhu's mother ......"

"Do you see any characteristics of the Assassins?"

With Tao Jinyan's persuasion, Mei Xiang finally calmed down a little, but still said with red eyes: "The slave maid just went to prepare hot water, passing by the west wing, I heard a muffled sound from inside, followed by a scream, the slave maid hurriedly went in to investigate the situation, and saw a black shadow falling out of the window lightly, Zhu's mother fell to the ground covered in blood, Qiao'er was already crying in fright. ”

"Don't see the features? This is difficult...... "Tao Jinyan didn't stop, the folding fan in his hand tightened his back behind him, and he saw that the plain white got into the west wing, Tao Jinyan hurriedly followed, and entered the west wing, and suddenly an inexplicable bloody breath mixed with a strange aroma came to his face.

Tao Jinyan frowned, and saw Chu Nian step forward, half-kneeling on the ground, his hand tightly clutched by another calloused hand.

Blood was left all over the ground, the crossing was on the tip of her heart, Mother Zhu's eyes gradually dilated, and when she saw Chu Nian at the last second, her subordinates did not forget to hold Chu Nian's hand tightly: "Mother...... Lady, old slave...... I'm afraid I don't have a chance in this life...... Continue to take care of the lady, lady...... Take care of ......"

After finishing speaking, Mother Zhu's eyes were filled with tears and fell into Chu Nian's arms, and Qiao'er on the side cried unadultly.

A silent and cold atmosphere in the room suddenly spread, Tao Jinyan's footsteps stopped, and the room was still filled with the cries of Qiao'er and Meixiang, but it made people feel inexplicably silent.

A person knelt on one knee on the side of the couch, holding a figure covered in blood in her arms, and even the corners of her plain white skirt were dyed red, but she didn't know it, just looked at a certain point in the air expressionlessly, her eyes gradually focused from sloppy to concentrated, and then, a momentum suddenly burst out.

Tao Jinyan secretly said that it was not good, and then saw Chu Nian bend down and gently put down Mother Zhu's figure, and then walked slowly and logically in front of Tao Jinyan.

Tao Jinyan half-lowered his eyes, looked at the pair of eyes that seemed to have no emotion, opened his mouth, but found that he could barely speak, and then, he felt that his waist lit up, and the plain white figure held the long sword that was originally hanging on his waist, and the sword split the window of the west wing.

The plain white figure turned into a streamer and disappeared into the night, Tao Jinyan frowned, turned his eyes to look at the two maids who fell to the ground crying, sighed, and hurriedly chased out the ruins that had just been split by Chu Nian.

From the window of the west wing to the wall of the Chu family, there is also a garden in between, and almost all the trees in a straight line between the window and the wall have been cut off.

Seeing the big hole in the wall not far away, Tao Jinyan couldn't help frowning again, and at the end, he let out a "tsk" and hurriedly chased after him.

But further out, along the way, the trees were destroyed, but the plain white figure was never seen, Tao Jinyan had an inexplicable sad feeling in his heart, muttered for a while, turned around and flew away in the direction of the palace.

On the other hand, Chu Nian forced himself to calm down and followed the route that the assassin might pass, cutting off the trees that blocked the way, and chasing him out, and the sword aura overflowed everywhere the long sword went, and it was barren.

Walking all the way to the outskirts of the city, Chu Nian found that the surroundings were empty, his reddened eyes gradually cooled, and his subordinates trembled inexplicably.

Zhu's mother, Zhu's mother's ...... Chu Nian half-lowered his eyes, clenched the long sword in his hand, and felt that something was about to come out of his chest.

Something, lost.

Although Mother Zhu is just a servant, since she became Chu Nian, Mother Zhu has taken care of her like her biological mother, Mo said that Chu Nian's feelings for Mother Zhu were different, and now Chu Nian has an inexplicable dependence on Mother Zhu.

Mother Zhu has always been a kind person, not to mention treating Chu Nian as a parent, Chu Nian has always treated Mother Zhu as another mother.

But today, right under her nose, Zhu's mother was killed.

Calmed down, suddenly a huge sense of powerlessness invaded Chu Nian's body, the long sword in her hand finally couldn't hold it, and it landed on the ground that was still covered with snow and water with a "zheng" sound, she looked at the loneliness around her, and suddenly a great pain hit her heart, and she suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a long roar.

"Uh-"

She crouched on the ground with her head in her hands, and with no one around, she finally didn't have to force her composure.

I don't know how long it passed, until Chu Nian's sadness almost fermented to the peak, but there was a sound of footsteps behind her, but Chu Nian didn't realize it, and then, a lotus fragrance suddenly wrapped her whole body.

A burst of warmth came from behind him, and Ming Xiu's deep voice came from his ears: "Go home, it's okay, go home." ”

The word "go home" spat out from his mouth, like a magic sound in his ears, Chu Nian bit his almost dry lower lip, and the next roar rushed out of his mouth without screaming.

"Want to vent?" Ming Xiu's voice sounded again, and his rough big hand spun up on the little face that had already been soaked with tears: "It's okay, there is me." ”

Chu Nian raised his eyes slightly, his reddened eyes met those narrow and deep eyes, and suddenly an inexplicable fragility struck, Chu Nian's body shook slightly for a moment, and then fell into the arms with the fragrance of lotus flowers.

The arms that wrapped around her body were reassuring and powerful, but they could never fill the inexplicable pain in Chu Nian's chest.

Her body was lifted horizontally, suspended in the air, and a faint wind washed away the tears on her cheeks, but the breeze seemed to be mixed with stiff ice, blowing people's faces with pain.

Ming Xiu lowered his eyes slightly, and then covered her eyes with his big sleeves: "Sleep, sleep, everything will be fine." ”

Her red lips moved, the scent of lotus flowers still penetrated into her nose, and her watery eyes gradually closed, allowing the man above to carry her anywhere.

By the time Ming Xiu appeared in the Vanilla Residence, it was already the night after night, and Mother Zhu's body had been placed by Mei Xiang, who had gradually calmed down, just waiting for Chu Nian to come back to deal with the matter.

Seeing Ming Xiu's figure, Tao Jinyan came back to his senses, and his face was a little tired: "How is she?" ”

Ming Xiu shook his head lightly, his face was slightly gloomy: "The state is not good, Lone sent her to Lone's bedroom, and now Ye Lao is taking care of her." ”

Momo's eyes darkened, he sighed, and then said, "Where did you find her?" I chased her and didn't see her all the way. ”

Ming Xiu pursed her thin lips and didn't speak, at this point, she saw Mei Xiang walking into the room with a basin of water, her eyes were swollen and she didn't want to speak, when she saw Ming Xiu, she flattened her mouth, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Ming Xiu nodded: "You go down to rest first, don't be busy, your lady is fine." ”

Hearing this, Mei Xiang seemed to be relieved, she nodded, and her voice was a little choked: "Your Highness, lady...... Please Your Highness, Mother Zhu has watched me and my mother grow up since I was a child, she is like the mother of the two of us, and now that Mother Zhu is gone, the mother will definitely not be able to bear it, if the mother is out of control...... Please bear with your Highness. ”

Ming Xiu nodded, and saw Mei Xiang turn around and go out, at this stall, Tao Jinyan stepped forward and said, "Who do you think did this?" ”

Hearing this, Ming Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he shook his head gently.

Tao Jinyan sighed again, and said helplessly: "I thought I could have a good talk with her today, but I didn't expect this to happen, the thief was really hateful, and he killed her servant in front of me and her." ”

Ming Xiu pursed his thin lips and didn't speak, then he saw Tao Jinyan thinking about it while continuing: "However, as far as it seems now, this thief's light skills are at least above me, Chu Nian needless to say, although she has strong perception, she doesn't know light skills at all, but this thief can kill people under the nose of me, a dignified martial arts alliance leader...... I didn't notice it. ”

He paused, and looked at Ming Xiu with a slightly heavy gaze: "It seems that the other party's path is not simple, if I guess correctly, you and Chu Nian are both targeted." ”

Hearing this, Ming Xiu frowned and turned his eyes to look at Tao Jinyan, and saw that Tao Jinyan's face suddenly relaxed, and said: "Although the other party's light skills are good, as the leader of the martial arts alliance, I will naturally protect Chu Nian's safety, and you can ask for more blessings yourself, but I also believe that the other party is not so bold as to dare to sneak into the palace to kill you, you still ...... Go out less! ”

Leaving this word, Tao Jinyan turned around and walked out of the house, leaving Ming Xiu alone to stand quietly in the house, there was still blood and inexplicable aroma in the house, Ming Xiu's face showed a complicated color, and after a while, his face suddenly sank, and then, an inexplicable cold silence suddenly spread throughout the room.

"No matter who you are, whoever makes her sad will definitely make you pay ten times the price!"

……

When Chu Nian woke up from the dream, it was already noon the next day, she rubbed her eyes, trying to rub the blood red in the dream, and only after a long time did she get up, looking at the magnificence around her blankly.

It wasn't until the sound of the little eunuch and Ming Xiu talking outside the door that she knew where she was, and after calming down for a while, she lifted the quilt and got up, and Ming Xiu had already paced into the house.

Seeing her figure, Ming Xiu's eyes flashed slightly: "Awake?" ”

Chu Nian nodded, there was no expression on her delicate face, and she walked towards the door after getting out of the soft collapse, but was stopped by an acquaintance's arm, she looked back blankly, and looked at Shang Mingxiu worriedly: "Where are you going?" Can I follow you? ”

The figure in front of him paused, then looked back, revealing a pale and feeble smile.
