Chapter Eighty-Four: Assassination in the Palace

I think the moonlight is good tonight, does Concubine Ai have the heart to go out for a walk with me? Nalan Zhi stood in front of the window, looked at the bright moon, and turned to ask Liu Ruoxin.

"Of course the concubine is willing." Liu Ruoxin's beautiful face showed a shy expression, and she stayed by Nalan Zhi's side, taking a walk on the mountain path.

"The sudden appearance of the emperor today really moved the concubines very much." Liu Ruoxin felt the temperature from Nalan Zhi's palm, she didn't expect that the emperor would care about herself like this.

"It's fine if you're okay." Nalan Zhi just smiled lightly and didn't say anything more.

The night on the mountain path is not as dim as imagined, but under the light of the moon, it looks white and flawless.

The two of them walked on the path for about half an hour, and the cool breeze was blowing, which made Liu Ruoxin feel a little chill.

"It's late autumn, Your Majesty, it's important to take care of the dragon's body." Liu Ruoxin stopped, tidied up Nalan Zhi's clothes, and then pulled him back the way he came.

Nalan nodded, it was indeed not too early.

"Niangniang, the bath water you ordered has been boiled, Niangniang can go to the bath." After Liu Ruoxin and Nalan Zhi returned to the room separately, the palace maid came to invite her to take a bath in late autumn.

Liu Ruoxin nodded, and followed Wanqiu into the shower. After a long day of hard work, it's time to take a good shower, change clothes, and relax.

Liu Ruoxin untied her clothes and walked into the bath bucket gently, but she didn't find that standing at the door, Nalan Zhi, who happened to be passing by, looked at herself affectionately.

With snow-white skin, thin collarbones, and bright red petals accompanied by clear water sliding from Liu Ruoxin's slender neck to his chest, Nalan Zhi only felt a surge of men's masculine blood.

"Ah...... See Your Majesty! Late autumn was about to prepare new clothes for Liu Ruoxin, but she happened to bump into Nalan Zhi at the door, and quickly knelt down in a panic.

Nalan Zhi didn't care about the late autumn, but walked into the bathing room by himself, looked at Liu Ruoxin, who was a little unaware, and said: "Since this is the holy land of Buddhism, then I will let you go this time, and when you return to the palace, you have to serve me well." ”

The expression on his face and the serious look made Liu Ruoxin blush instantly. She clutched her chest and nodded.

Nalan didn't linger any longer, walked out of the room, and summoned Dongfang City.

"What did Concubine Liu do today?" Nalan Zhi looked at the respectful Dongfang City in front of him and asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, after Concubine Liu finished the Buddha today, it seems that she has set up a wordless spirit card." Dongfang Cheng knelt at Nalan Zhi's feet and replied truthfully.

Wordless spirit cards? Nalan Zhi fell into deep thought, could it be...... Two words suddenly crossed out in his memory, and he suddenly recalled that Liu Ruoxin seemed to have mentioned the name "Hong'er".

However, he didn't ask Liu Ruoxin why he wanted to set up this spirit card, because he vaguely felt in his heart that it was better not to mention it.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Nalan Zhi got up and washed. Hearing the movement, Liu Ruoxin, who was sleeping next to him, also woke up.

After both of them packed up, they were going back to the palace. After all, Nalan Zhi is the emperor, so he can't stay outside, so it's better to go back early, anyway, the matter has already been done.

Just thinking of her previous life, Liu Ruoxin still thought of that child, and she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart.

Glancing at the plainly dressed and pretty woman on the side, a trace of sadness flashed on her face, and a trace of doubt flashed in Nalan Zhi's eyes.

Why?

After thinking for a while, seeing that Liu Ruoxin had returned to normal, Nalan Zhi also put this matter behind him, stepped forward and hugged his beloved woman, speaking in a soft tone.

"Go back, and if you want to come in the future, you can always come and pray for blessings."

Hearing this, Liu Ruoxin smiled indifferently, even though she knew that it was impossible to come over at any time, she still nodded, looked up at the man holding her gently, and said, "The concubine thanked the emperor first." ”

Listening to the pleasant voice of the strange and anxious person, Nalan Zhi brought a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, scratched Liu Ruoxin's upturned nose, and said softly: "When I have time, I will accompany you in person." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Ruoxin in his arms was stunned, and only after a while did he whisper: "Okay." ”

With Nalan Zhi's insight, he was more or less aware of the actions of the woman in his arms.

But the atmosphere is too good now, and he doesn't want to break it. Back in the palace, there are open and secret battles everywhere, and a quiet moment like this one is too rare, why should he use some trivial things to destroy it?

The two snuggled up and talked for a while, and Dongfang Cheng came in and said that it was time to leave.

Sitting in the carriage back to the palace, Liu Ruoxin finally turned around and looked at the temple, and a touch of amazement crossed her heart.

I am also more determined to never let things like that happen in my previous life since I started all over again.

Halfway through the carriage, it was suddenly attacked, and the other party came at the carriage alone.

Looking at the assassins outside, a trace of fierceness flashed on Nalan Zhi's handsome and jade-like face.

No one knew about his coming, and the Assassins weren't here for him.

Then there is only one possibility left, and their target is Concubine Liu.

Thinking of this, Nalan Zhi said in a cold voice: "Dongfang, let people stay alive." ”

Dongfang Cheng, who had a serious face, heard the words and agreed, and went into battle in person.

There were dark guards and Eastern City, but in a quarter of an hour, those assassins were dead, and those who were caught were caught.

After making sure that there were no fish that slipped through the net, Dongfang Cheng came to the carriage, and said with a respectful fist: "Your Majesty, all the assassins have been subdued, and please ask the emperor to show you." ”

Sitting firmly in the car, Nalan didn't worry at all when he heard this, so he got up and jumped out of the carriage. Liu Ruoxin said that she also wanted to go down, so she reached out and personally helped the person down.

Since Nalan Zhi could think of the assassin and came for her, Liu Ruoxin could naturally think of it too.

The two of them approached the two Assassins who had survived, and when the Assassins saw the bright yellow figure, their eyes flashed with horror.

This appearance made Liu Ruoxin even more sure that the other party really didn't know that there was Nalan in the carriage.

There was no emotion on his handsome face, and Nalan Zhi just went up to stand in front of the assassin, who began to tremble in his legs.

Originally, they only thought that they were dealing with Liu Ruoxin, so naturally they would not send any elites, a few outlaws were enough.

But he never imagined that the emperor would appear, which made the assassin not afraid.

Sweeping over the assassin on the ground whose legs trembled, Nalan Zhi's eyes were cold, and his thin lips opened lightly: "Who asked you to come?" ”

A casual sentence came out of the mouth of the man in front of him, but it shook the figure of the assassin kneeling on the ground, and one of them said tremblingly: "Yes...... It was the concubine in the palace who asked the little ones to come, and the little ones didn't know that it was the emperor inside, so please spare the emperor's life. ”

With that, the assassin began to kowtow frantically, and when he saw his companion like this, the other one also began to kowtow, each time very hard.

But feeling the storm of their master's cohesion, before they could say more, Dongfang City had the interest to pull the two assassins down.

Nalan Zhi, who was standing with Liu Ruoxin, was extremely black on his handsome face at the moment, with an angry look, and his voice was even more cold and piercing: "Lin Yunwan? It seems that I am usually too kind, so that these women are more and more arrogant, and now they even do such things as buying murder. ”

Liu Ruoxin, who had been bowing his head and meditating since he got off the carriage, couldn't help but jump when he heard the emperor's cold words.

Not to mention that the words of these assassins could not be trusted, but she did not think that woman had such great ability to bribe someone to assassinate her.

Besides, if it was a concubine in the palace, it would be impossible to take the risk when she knew that Nalan Zhi was coming, and she only sent such a few minions.

Seeing that the emperor seemed to believe what the assassin said, Liu Ruoxin thought, just go back like this, and the emperor will definitely ask Lin Yunwan for the crime.

Wouldn't that allow the real mastermind to get away with it?

With such a thought in her heart, Liu Ruoxin couldn't help but say softly: "Concubine Wan is in the palace, and she doesn't have any outsiders, how can she contact people outside the palace?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the angry Nalan Zhi's mind suddenly sobered up.

He was angry because he thought about what would happen if he wasn't here today.

These assassins seemed insignificant in front of the Dark Guard and Dongfang City, but if Liu Ruoxin was allowed to face him, there was no possibility of escape.

How could he not be afraid?

Now when she heard Liu Ruoxin say this, she also began to be suspicious, and said: "You are right, with Concubine Wan's ability, it is impossible to arrange such an assassination. ”

Not Lin Yunwan? Who's that again?

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Ruoxin still didn't have any clue in her heart.

I really couldn't think of it, Liu Ruoxin's brows furrowed slightly, she raised her head and asked Nalan Zhi, and said, "The concubine in the palace, knowing that the emperor is here, will definitely not take such a big risk to kill me." ”

This is a doubt that has just risen in her heart, and now she can't think of it, so she asks.

No matter how much you want her to die, you should know that if Nalan stops, sending so many people will not help at all.

After all, when the emperor travels, he has a secret guard with him.

Nalan Zhi, who was still exuding endless cold air, shook his head and said, "When I come out, let the stand-in stay in the palace to cover me." No one in the palace knew about my exit from the palace. ”

Hearing this, a flash of surprise flashed in Liu Ruoxin's eyes. She didn't know before that there was such a thing as a stand-in for the emperor.
