Hua Qingrao sat in front of the mirror, and slowly took off the human skin mask on her face, and the wound under the mask was indeed infected and worsened.

"Mother."

Si Luo pushed the door and walked in. When she saw Hua Qingrao's face, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly covered up. She put the porridge in her hand on the table and said softly: "Niangniang, the master saw that you didn't eat much at the banquet, so he specially asked the little one to bring you porridge." ”

Hua Qingrao naturally didn't miss the emotion in Si Luo's eyes, she lowered her head and smiled helplessly: "I'm scary like this, right?" ”

Si Luo lowered his eyes and said, "Why didn't Niangniang tell her master?" ”

Hua Qingrao slowly got up and walked to the table, her fingers sliding over the edge of the bowl. "A woman is a person who pleases herself, how can I show it to him."

A smile appeared on Si Luo's face, "But if Niangniang told the little one, isn't it equivalent to telling the prince about this?" ”

Hua Qingrao sat down, scooped up a spoonful of porridge and ate it: "He clearly recognized me that day, but he didn't set up a banquet to save me in time, and he saw that I was in dire straits. Gao Qixuan sent someone to ask for medicine, but he turned him away, so that I will have a scar on my forehead in the future. ”

Si Luo was shocked, she raised her eyes and said, "Niangniang means..."

Hua Qingrao put down the spoon and interrupted her with a chuckle: "I mean to tell the prince my words completely and word for word." ”

"The little one understands." Si Luo responded.

Zhao Yu just asked Si Luo to bring a box of ointment on the second day, and the others did not show up in the next few days.

Hua Qingrao never mentioned him, smeared the ointment he sent, and lived a good life in the house. The blush on her cheeks had faded, and the wound on her forehead had recovered miraculously and quickly from the ointment, leaving only a light red mark.

At night, Hua Qingrao had just laid down when she suddenly heard a shout outside the courtyard: "Catch the assassin!" ”

Then the door was slammed open, and two masked men dressed in black flashed in.

Hua Qingrao sat up with a spirit, and subconsciously thought that Gao Qixuan still refused to stop, and the fire outside the window became brighter and brighter.

The two masked men glanced at each other, stepped forward quickly and pointed their knives at Hua Qingrao, and said sharply: "Don't make a sound!" ”

Hua Qingrao glanced at them, she only had night clothes on her body, and even the knives she wore were the most ordinary, so she really couldn't determine their identities.

She said lightly, "You can't run out." ”

The two masked men didn't expect that at this time, she could still say this sentence so calmly, put the knife closer to her neck, and said angrily: "Shut up!" ”

Hua Qingrao felt that the sharp blade was next to her skin, and she didn't dare to make any more big moves, her eyes stared straight ahead and said, "If you tell me what the goal of your trip is, I can help you get out of danger." ”

The two masked men thought for a while, and asked in disbelief, "Can you really help us get out of danger?" ”

Hua Qingrao pointed to the knife on her neck, "I'm just a weak woman, and in this situation, what tricks can I play with you." ”

The masked man looked down at her, his eyes flickering in the darkness. "Okay, let me tell you, the purpose of our trip is to kidnap the county lord of Jingyao."

Hua Qingrao was shocked in her heart, isn't the county lord of Jingyao her? It seems that this is indeed someone sent by Gao Qixuan.

"Did you get it?" She asked tentatively.

"Phew!" A masked man said with an annoyed face: "Obviously I was about to get it, but I was discovered at this time." ”

Hua Qingrao's eyes drooped slightly, Zhao Yu should have expected Gao Qixuan to make a move and create an illusion of another her in the mansion.

She suddenly heard Zhao Yu's voice outside the door: "Did you find it?" ”

"Back to the prince, all the searches have been completed, and no targets have been found, only this room is left."

Hua Qingrao stared at the door and said slowly: "I'm afraid you won't be able to leave." ”

"You lied to us!" The masked man said angrily.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was kicked open.

The two masked men immediately became vigilant, and they watched Zhao Yu walk in step by step.

Zhao Yu closed the door, lit the candle in the room unhurriedly, and sat on the chair with a leisurely face to look at the scene in the room.

Hua Qingrao looked at his indifferent eyes and turned her head to the side to avoid his gaze.

The masked men were a little surprised by Zhao Yu's behavior, and they forced their momentum and said, "Don't come here, come here and we'll kill her." ”

Zhao Yu's eyes showed disdain, and he raised his hand and said casually: "Please, kill her, do you think you can run out?" ”

Hua Qingrao smiled lightly, "Haven't you heard of Prince Mu's reputation?" I'm just a puppet of his temporary favorite, do you really think my life is worth in his eyes? ”

This seemed to be said to the two masked men, and it seemed to be said to Zhao Yu.

The masked man had naturally heard of the reputation of Zhao Yu, the king of Mu, and there were countless concubines in the mansion, and he was addicted to wine all day long. The woman in front of him is really just like one of his concubines, and she doesn't have much control over him.

The two masked men looked up and saw Zhao Yu leisurely drinking tea, glanced at each other, let go of Hua Qingrao at the same time, and raised their bright knives to stab at Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu squinted, grabbed the teacup and smashed it into the face of a man in black. The teacup slammed into the man's face with unmistakable accuracy, causing the knife in his hand to mess up its trajectory.

Zhao Yu turned sideways and tried to dodge another knife, but after all, the blade cut through his sleeve, leaving a bloody mark on his arm. He didn't bother with the wound, and raised his leg towards the man's face.

The man stumbled and nearly fell to the ground. Another man in black walked up to him quickly, and the two stopped fighting, turned around and jumped out of the window.

Zhao Yu covered the wound with his hand and shouted to the people outside: "Catch it alive!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the sound of swords colliding instantly sounded outside the house.

Hua Qingrao stared at the wound on Zhao Yu's arm, but sat on the bed and didn't move.

Zhao Yu looked up at her with tenderness in his eyes, and he didn't speak for a long time.

The two of them remained in this state until a guard came in and said, "Lord Wang, the people have run away." ”

Zhao Yu's face sank, and he said sharply: "Waste! ”

The guard shuddered, and said respectfully: "It's the negligence of the humble position, and I ask the prince to punish him." ”

Without waiting for Zhao Yu to reply, Hua Qingrao got up and walked off the bed, and ordered softly: "Go get some trauma medicine." ”

The guard looked up at the place where the voice came from, and saw a woman in white standing there slim, as white as snow, as smooth as a clear wave, fairy and jade, ice muscles and jade bones. He couldn't help but look a little distracted, and looked at it for a moment to answer.

Zhao Yu looked at the emotion in his eyes, his face showed dissatisfaction, and he shouted, "Don't go quickly!" ”

The guard was yelled at, and instantly came back to his senses, his face turned red and said, "Yes!" ”

"Wait a minute." Zhao Yu added: "Let Si Luo send it." ”

"Yes."

The guard wanted to look at the stunning woman who looked up again, but because of the prince's vicious gaze, it was still important to save his life. He hung his head and slowly stepped back.

Only Hua Qingrao and Zhao Yu were left in the house. Hua Qingrao walked forward with her head hanging and carefully examined his wounds. Fortunately, it only punctured the skin slightly, and it was not a big deal.
