Chapter XVI: Assassination

Su Wenmei frowned and was ignorant, and Bing'er brought a mirror: "Miss, should you be with the emperor...... Fish and water, right?! ”

The mirror in Su Wenmei's hand clattered to the ground: "No! No! No! I just, I was put on the sidelines, almost ...... Lost ...... That's it. ”

As she spoke, her face flushed as if she were about to drip blood, and then, as if she remembered something, she ran to the censer, lifted the lid of the censer, and saw some dark gray powder.

Last night, I smelled the smell and felt that something was wrong, there was really a problem! Her eyes were half-narrowed, and she took out a little incense ash with a handkerchief: "Bing'er, you ask the doctor to check it tomorrow to see what is left over from the burning." "The ash she usually burns is light-colored, this is dark gray, and it's obviously something that someone else added to her!

"Miss, could it be that Concubine Hui who wants to harm you?!"

Su Wenmei shook her head, she was in a hazy consciousness last night, and vaguely remembered that another man came to knock on the door, and called her name, and her voice was obscene, that should be the person who really wanted to harm her. She could feel that Concubine Hui was a very kind person, and she would never think of giving her * and letting a strange man ruin her innocence.

Moreover, Concubine Hui came to visit her today, although she had selfish intentions, she wanted Su Wenmei to enter the palace and get rid of her predicament of being suppressed in the palace. As long as she is a person with a little brain, she will not do it at such a time to assassinate her.

It seems that some people really can't hold back their black hands.

......

The next day, Su Wenmei freshened up, carefully covered the marks on her neck, and when she went out, she saw several maids whispering something around a pile, and she could vaguely hear Miss Su's words.

Her face sank, and she walked over unhurriedly, followed by Bing'er. Walking in front of the maids, one of the maids saw her and knelt down with a puff: "Miss Su! ”

The rest of the maids were also shocked and knelt down.

Bing'er also understood a little in her heart, and cleared her throat: "Miss Su is the righteous daughter of the old lady of the Gu Mansion, she was in the past, and she is now!" Before General Gu went to the northwest, he also made a special confession, asking you to take care of Miss Su! Now I'm getting more and more capable! You don't have to work, are you all here to chat and talk?! ”

Bing'er paused: "If people see what they shouldn't see and hear what they shouldn't hear, then Gu Mansion won't be able to keep people with many mouths and tongues!" ”

Su Wenmei didn't say anything during the whole process, only pretended to be calm and took Bing'er back to the room.

If in the past, the maids at the bottom made mistakes, she could have punished them. It's just that now, sitting in front of the window, looking at the kiss marks on her neck that can't be concealed in the mirror, she suddenly feels unconfident in her heart.

"Miss." Bing'er looked at her with some distress: "Those minions are too presumptuous, and Miss Hao is now the master of the Gu Mansion." ”

Su Wenmei was not in a hurry: "I was originally a righteous daughter who only entered the Gu Mansion halfway, but now that the old lady has died, as soon as General Gu leaves, it will be somewhat unjustifiable to live in the Gu Mansion again." Besides, last night's incident with the emperor is now known to everyone. ”

"It's not surprising that it's reduced to talking points." She looked down, a little sad.

"Miss." Bing'er asked, "Then have you ever thought about entering the palace...... With the emperor? ”

"Into the palace?" Su Wenmei lowered her head and smiled bitterly: "There are so many women in the palace, if the emperor just takes a fancy to me on a whim and enters the palace later, after a moment of interest, I am afraid that I will be gnawed by others and there will be no bones left, right?" She knows very well in her heart that now the concubines in the palace, even if they are just concubines and concubines, her father is also the minister of the three grades, not to mention Concubine Lan and Concubine Xiangui, all of whom rely on the position of their father and brother to seal the concubines.

She is just the righteous daughter of the Gu Mansion, and she definitely does not have such a strong backstage, and once she enters the palace, she doesn't know how many people's eyes are hot. If you lose your only favor, you will only be dead.

"But from Penang'er's point of view, the emperor loves Miss very much! Miss...... I also like the emperor. ”

She was silent. I like it a little, he is high-spirited in the court, but he always likes to laugh in front of her, and he looks like a little silly and stupid teenager.

But just this liking can't be a reason for her to jump into the fire pit.

Bing'er stood, taking in the expression on Miss Su's face from happy to lonely.

Bing'er squatted down and held Su Wenmei's hand with both hands: "Miss, no matter where you are or what decisions you make, Bing'er is willing to follow you for the rest of your life." ”

Wen Mei smiled, a warm current swelled in her heart, and she also clenched Bing'er's hand.

After lunch, Su Wenmei took Bing'er and a few Wu Ding from the Gu Mansion to walk around the long street. She found a pharmacy, asked the family to wait outside the door, and walked in with Bing'er.

"Shopkeeper!" Bing'er walked behind Su Wenmei, and as she spoke, she took out a handkerchief and spread it out in front of the doctor at the counter, and there was a little incense burner ash in the handkerchief: "Please show me what this thing is?" ”

The old man took the handkerchief and looked at it, sniffed it closely, licked it with his tongue again, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "This is the ylang-ylang fragrance that promotes the sunshine!" You two girls, how can there be such a thing?! ”

Ylang Ylang! Su Wenmei and Bing'er glanced at each other. Rao is old man lowered his voice to speak, but many people who came for treatment turned their heads sideways and looked at the two of them.

Su Wenmei blushed and sneered: "Uncle, don't get excited, this is not our thing, we just picked it up unintentionally, and we felt that it was fragrant, so we came to ask...... After speaking, he snatched the handkerchief in Lang Zhong's hand, pulled up the betel and left......

Call! It's so embarrassing, at this moment, Su Wenmei and Bing'er came out of the pharmacy, and they breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces were flushed.

But then again, who added such a thing to her censer?

The long street is not far from Gu's house, so Su Wenmei didn't take a sedan chair back and forth. She and Bing'er walked on the way back to the house, and they didn't mention those things because they were worried about the family behind them. It was a bit dull along the way.

"Miss be careful!" Suddenly, two three-edged darts flew towards Su Wenmei's front door, and one of the family members was quick and stepped forward to intercept a dart.

The other dart was dodged by Su Wenmei.

Su Wenmei looked in the direction where the darts were thrown, and there were two masked black-clothed men holding swords, one was tall, the other was petite, and they were about to touch a man and a woman.

The two men in black didn't talk nonsense, and raised their swords and slashed towards Su Wenmei. When the Gu family saw this, they drew their swords and stepped forward to rescue, but because they were defeated, they fell to the ground one after another not long after.

The person who can defeat Gu Fu Wuding, even if he is not a master, has some ability.

Where has Bing'er seen such a situation, he has long been frightened. However, in the face of the bad guys, he also stood in front of Su Wenmei: "Miss, you run, you ......"

Before she could finish speaking, the sword of a masked assassin slashed into the air, and Bing'er closed her eyes as if she were dead, but she was protected by Su Wenmei, and the two turned sideways. The Assassin's sword grazed the arms of both men, leaving a trail of blood.

Just like Su Wenmei couldn't have imagined that Bing'er would sacrifice her life for herself in a moment of crisis, Bing'er didn't expect that Miss Su would be injured for her.

Before they could react, the assassin's sword slashed again, and Su Wenmei had to let go of Bing'er and raise her sword to block it. However, now that she is injured, and her original martial arts are not good enough, how can she fight against the assassins?

Between the lightning and flint, Zhao Xunzhi jumped out of nowhere, and met the tall man in black with a sword. The man in black showed a surprised look, but he also greeted him. Soon, the tall man in black was subdued by Zhao Xunzhi. Another Assassin was also slashed at the wrist, and she fled in the chaos when she saw that the situation was not good. Zhao Xunzhi was ordered to protect Miss Su, but he was afraid that something would go wrong, so he didn't chase her anymore.

The tall man in black was injured in the leg and couldn't run, Zhao Xunzhi approached unhurriedly, without saying a word, like an indifferent killing god, and knocked him out cleanly with a hand knife.

Bing'er's heart is still beating like a drum at the moment, she originally blocked the sword for Miss, thinking that she was going to die, who knew that Miss Su would fight hard with the man in black for herself! She was afraid that the young lady would be killed, but fortunately, someone appeared at the critical moment and saved their lives.

"Miss Su! Can the injury be severe? Zhao Xunzhi walked in front of Su Wenmei, knelt on one knee, and checked Su Wenmei's injuries on the spot. He felt a little guilty, because he was secretly protecting Su Wenmei, so there was a distance between Zhao Xunzhi and them, just now the two assassins made fatal moves, and the action was too fast, if he came a little later, it was likely that Su Wenmei would die on the spot.

"May I ask who Childe is?" Su Wenmei hadn't seen Zhao Xunzhi before, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Under Zhao Xunzhi, I was ordered by the emperor to protect Miss Su." As he spoke, he frowned and looked at the wound on Su Wenmei's arm.

Su Wenmei's arm was stained with blood, but she was a little less injured than Bing'er, so she shook her head and looked at Bing'er on the side, and her hand involuntarily held Bing'er's hand tightly.

Zhao Xunzhi tore off a piece of the corner of his clothes and bandaged it briefly for Su Wenmei. Su Wenmei also took out her own handkerchief and did a rough bandage for Bing'er.

Then, Su Wenmei held Bing'er, Zhao Xunzhi carried the unconscious assassin, and several martial artists also supported each other and returned to the Gu Mansion, describing themselves as embarrassed.

When a few maids saw this, they quickly invited the doctor back to treat them.

Su Wenmei couldn't help but feel distressed when she looked at the injury on Bing'er's arm, and when she got home, half of the sleeves of this stupid girl's arm were stained red with blood.

The assassin was taken away by Zhao Xunzhi.

Su Wenmei pondered, the person who harmed herself this time was also in the palace, after all, she didn't have any fatal entanglements with others.

"Miss, the medicine is ready, you can drink the medicine quickly." Bing'er brought the medicine bowl over.

"You're also injured, didn't you say you don't have to wait for a few days and have a good rest?" Su Wenmei took the medicine bowl, pulled Bing'er, asked her to sit down too, and looked at her injured arm: "Let me see your injuries." ”
