At night, the comfortable spring breeze blows away the boredom of the day, so that the whole person calms down with the night.

Zhuang Xianchen sat in the pavilion in the inner courtyard, looking at the still water that twisted and looped through the entire palace courtyard, and his heart was very tense.

That year, he was hunted down by the Assassins, and he almost died.

I had no choice but to abandon the ship and fall into the water, and I met Zi Xuan. She saved him and took him back to recuperate......

"Master." Qingli came in with a bowl of hot soup, and his eyebrows moved slightly: "You haven't eaten anything all day, just drinking medicine, I'm afraid that your stomach will be uncomfortable." This hot soup warms the stomach the most. You can sleep well after drinking. ”

Zhuang Chenchen didn't make a sound.

So Qingli put the hot soup in his hand: "The slave and maid are gone." ”

She went out neatly and closed the door. According to the princess's orders, don't say a word. But at this time, so many people in the lower courtyard were crowded into one room. The doors and windows were not to be opened. Humid, sultry, and dirty, the princess must have had a hard time.

If you can't sleep, forget it. At this time, Cen Muning could smell the sour smell on his body.

After washing so many lists, quilt covers, and working all day without listening, my body was already wet with sweat. So I went to sleep when it was naturally air-dried, and there was no smell. Turning over and over, she didn't think of any way to get his attention, a man who has a heart to belong to, it is too difficult to ask him to have a love affair with another person. What's more, she just wants to take revenge with his power, and love is too extravagant.

Maybe someone like her who has a murderous heart will not get it for the rest of her life.

On the pavement, there is some movement.

Several women took advantage of the fact that everyone was asleep, and slowly got up in the night.

Cen Muning vaguely felt that something was wrong, and her heartstrings were tense.

She was worried that there was no way, no, someone sent her a way.

Several women pounced almost simultaneously from different directions. He held down her hands and feet and covered her mouth. Some people opened the door, and some people drank to stop the people who slept next to her. He carried her out of the room so easily.

Thrown in an inconspicuous corner of the lower courtyard.

This is where she washes her clothes in the afternoon, and there is a well next to it.

Cen Mu Ning thought that Xin Wei would be among these people, and even the one who instructed them to kill them. Unexpectedly, after seeing these people clearly through the moonlight, there was no shadow of her.

"Princess, shouldn't she be a precious body? How could you be left in such a place? ”

"Who knows how she offended Her Highness!"

As the two women were talking about her, a hand suddenly clasped her waist. Cen Mu Ning resistantly shook the hand away: "What are you doing?" ”

"The princess is dressed and fed all day long, how can she be so slender and slender. Could it be that the food in the palace is not to taste, or are you simply stuffed into it and embarrassed? The woman's laughter was so sharp that it was piercing to hear.

Cen Mu Ning looked at her with a cold face: "Who told you that you have to eat the fat head and big ears of the brocade clothes and jade food?" It's not a slender figure, how can you be considered a lady. ”

"Poof." I don't know who laughed and made these women laugh.

But their laughter was still suppressed, presumably for fear of alarming people.

"Lady? My Fair Lady, Gentleman. The woman stepped forward and grabbed her jaw. It's a pity that you're just like us now. They are all women abandoned by His Highness. Once we came to this lower courtyard, every five days, someone would take us to bathe, change clothes, and freshen up. Those who have injuries on their bodies are removed, those who are inconvenient in their bodies are eliminated, those who are clumsy are eliminated, and those who have unpleasant voices are eliminated, and the rest are lucky enough to meet His Highness. However, if His Highness hadn't taken a fancy to it, he wouldn't have such an opportunity for three or five years. Probably for a lifetime......"

"What does it have to do with me?" Cen Mooning looked at her suspiciously.

"What does it have to do with you?" The woman sneered: "You have to taste the taste of us." Otherwise, how can this world be peaceful. ”

She stepped forward and pinched Cen Muning's jaw: "Do you think that you were born with a lot of money, and we deserve to die?" I want you to taste it too. If Princess Ruiming died in the lower courtyard of his mansion, it would be good to spread the news. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the women went crazy and swung their fists like raindrops. It fell on her all at once.

In order to protect her face, Cen Muning had to curl up and hold her head.

Let them fight like this. She knew that if there was a disturbance, it would definitely alarm the dark people in this mansion, and soon Zhuang Chenchen would get the news.

As for whether he will come, it is unknown.

"Stop, what are you doing!" The woman's voice came from far and near, and finally she vigorously pushed away the two women, trying in vain to stop them.

However, two fists were invincible to four hands, and after only a few strokes, she was pushed to the ground.

"Someone, help, there are assassins......" The woman who was pushed down cried out, shattering the hard-won tranquility.

In the night, such voices traveled far and wide.

Of course, Xinwei heard the movement, but she didn't choose to watch. Instead, he went to the door leading from the lower courtyard to the backyard of the palace.

"Stop, whoever dares to leave the lower courtyard without permission will die." The guard drew his saber from his waist.

"Hurry up and inform Yin Li, someone has attacked the princess. If it's too late, the princess's life will not be guaranteed, and you can't afford it. ”

Cen Muning only felt that there was someone who was desperately protecting her. Firmly hugged her from behind, blocking a lot of punches for her.

Although I don't know who this person is, I have a sense of déjà vu. That feeling reminded her of her mother. If her mother is here, she will take good care of her, where will she suffer such hardships.

Pain does not come from the body, but from the heart.

Everything she endured today is because she wasn't strong enough. I don't have the ability to avenge my mother......

When Zhuang Xianchen arrived, Cen Muning was already dying, but she was still being attacked.

Even the maid who was holding her was about to die.

The green plowman raised and fell, and none remained. The blood of those women was splattered everywhere. The air was filled with the familiar smell of blood.

"Princess, it's not good to be a slave, I didn't expect this layer. It's made you suffer. Qingli looked at her and tried to help her up, but found that her body was as soft as a puddle of sand, and she didn't have the strength to support her.

"Master, I'm afraid the princess is not lightly injured." Qingli raised her head and said with tears in her eyes: "For the sake of her teaching the slave maid to make that hot soup, can the master allow the princess to return to the middle courtyard and recuperate well?" ”

Zhuang Chenchen's anger came from the fact that she dared to pretend to be Zi Xuan. Let him think that Zi Xuan is back.

But when reality tells him that this woman is nothing more than a fake, she wants to spy on the secrets of her heart, and then replace them. For her own planning, the anger was overwhelmed.

Actually, he didn't want her to die. He didn't say a word, turned and disappeared into the night.

"Master......" Qingli was in tears, not knowing what to do.

"Still stunned to do something, the master didn't object, just acquiesced." Yin Li had to be reminded.

"Take her with you...... Save her......" Cen Mooning pointed to the servant who fell to the ground, although she couldn't see who she was. But how could she not save each other with such desperate protection.

"Yes." Qingli comforted her: "Don't worry, master, the slave must have saved her." ”

Cen Muning finally closed her eyes with peace of mind and fainted.

"Master." After helping to settle the princess, Yin Li returned to the study.

Although Zhuang Chenchen didn't make a sound, his eyes looked at Yin Li.

"The imperial doctor said that the princess's injuries were not light, and the injuries on her original body were not yet well-healed, so I am afraid that she will have to carefully recuperate for a while." Yin Li looked worried: "My subordinates also asked, the person who reported to the guards was Xinwei." I'm afraid she knew that her master cared about the princess, so she would do this. ”

"When did this king care about the princess?" Zhuang Chenchen was dissatisfied with this sentence.

"A subordinate's slip of the tongue." Yin thought about it, he didn't care why he went to the lower courtyard by himself. This is the first time the master has gone back to the lower court. As soon as I got the news, I rushed to it. After adjusting his face, he said again: "My subordinates think that His Highness doesn't want the princess to die so soon." After all, she is more useful if she is alive. ”

"If you know, it's good." Zhuang Chenchen stiffened his face: "Tell the imperial doctor to give her the best medicine." and the account in the palace has not been settled, and the mother and son can't spare her. How could she just die? ”

"Yes." Yin Li still felt that the master just cared about her, but he didn't want to admit it.

"Who came out to save people?" Zhuang Chenchen asked unhappily.

"It's a girl named Bingling." Yin Li had to be a little more vigilant. "It's also a coincidence, when the princess first entered the palace a few days ago, this girl was sent to His Royal Highness for selection."

"What's going on?" Zhuang Chenchen vaguely felt that there was still content in it.

"She once served in the Prime Minister's Mansion." Yin Li squinted his eyes and said.

The people of the Prime Minister's Mansion were all gathered in his courtyard. Zhuang Chenchen hooked his lips slightly: "Feel the bottom well." ”

"Yes." Yin Li arched his hand: "My subordinates will do it as soon as possible." ”

originally thought that after tossing this day, he would be able to sleep well.

But in the middle of the night, Zhuang Chenchen was awakened. He dreamed that the hands that lifted him up from the water were not the same as usual. So he didn't care about the discomfort of choking, and tried to look at the face of the woman behind him.

It turned out to be Cen Muning!

How could Zi Gui be gone?

He sat on the huge Nanmu bed, panting. Cen Muning, a damn woman, just come to him to make trouble. It even appeared in his dreams. That's a place that only belongs to the purple gourd.

He was not convinced, put on his clothes and entered the boudoir of the middle courtyard in the night.

The bitterness in the room was full of bitterness, and Qingli stayed awake all night and stayed by his side.

"Her face ......" Zhuang Chenchen glanced at it, that nasty look. But her face was immaculate, unwound.

The princess held her head and covered her face. The arm hurt a little badly. The maid named Bingling protected the princess from behind, and the injury on her back was not light. Qingli felt that the master's ability to come was the best comfort for the princess. So he answered, and gently closed the door and withdrew.

"You, a woman, think that you can confuse men in the world with your looks and intelligence?" Zhuang Chenchen snorted lightly and lifted the quilt.

Sure enough, what Qingli said was right, her arms, blue and purple, are indeed a little scary.

But are these hands the ones that held her in her dreams?
