Just after the third watch, a strange aroma gradually wafted out in the corridor connecting the beast garden. Those fierce beasts that opened their teeth and claws during the day had already fallen asleep, and where the fragrance passed, the sound of the beasts' breathing became heavier and heavier.

The lock on the door made a soft "click" and fell to the ground. A tall figure in a dark black robe quietly paced in like a ghost, stopping in front of Chu Ning's sleeping bed. He drew a short knife and, without hesitation, stabbed it into the heart of the man on the bed.

A knife went down, but there was no expected blood splash, the ghostly figure was slightly stunned, and then a slender finger with a sharp nail clasped the veins on his neck, and a soft female voice came from behind him: "This time, it's my turn to ask you, is the sheepskin delicious?" Is it fun to stab people? ”

Ji Chongguang's voice was still cold and hard, without the slightest temperature: "Sure enough, if I stab you to death with a knife, I still think it's a pity, I haven't seen it for a long time, it's worth my own prey." ”

Before the words fell, the other hand had already been raised, straight into Chu Ning's eyes.

Chu Ning dodged sideways, and when Ji Chongguang approached again, he raised his elbow and slammed into his lower abdomen: "Come in the middle of the night and kill me, take your Ruyi bottle, and tell people tomorrow that it is the person who instructed me behind my back, and I am afraid of sin, and maybe I can also pull the son An Ye, who has the blood of the Su family, into the water, killing three birds with one stone, it is really a good calculation." ”

Ji Chongguang's lower abdomen ached, and he snorted, but he didn't stop, and the two rolled down to the hay ground together.

Chu Ning was pressed under him, her neck was firmly clamped by his eagle-like hands, and a pair of bottomless eyes were an inch in front of her eyes. Chu Ning only noticed at this moment that his eyes were different from ordinary people, they were not black and white, but the whole eyes were as black as night, and at this moment, with killing intent, they looked particularly terrifying.

"Death at my hands is not worth your life." Ji Chongguang's fingers tightened more and more.

Chu Ning's consciousness gradually blurred, and she saw Ji Chongguang's face showing a strange smile that was about to be completed. The corners of her lips hooked slightly: "That thing has been smashed by me, even if you strangle me, you can't find it." What's more, it's not necessarily who dies tonight! After saying that, a whistle suddenly came out of her mouth.

Hearing the whistle, a white shadow jumped in from nowhere, biting Ji Chongguang's neck, forcing him to let go of his hand.

The neck suddenly loosened, Chu Ning took a deep breath, quickly flipped his hand, and a delicate and small dagger stabbed straight into Ji Chongguang's ribs. When she was locked in, her body was searched cleanly, and there was not even a hairpin left, and this knife was naturally helped her get in by Mingxian.

"Just a dagger, do you think you can kill me?" Ji Chongguang sneered unabashedly, the wound under his ribs was still bleeding, but there was no abnormality on his face.

Before the words fell, a loud explosion suddenly sounded outside the door, and Ming instantly rolled up a chain with his tail and swung towards the stone wall of the corridor. The sound of the impact immediately attracted the attention of the palace patrol guards, and the chaotic footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Chu Ning looked directly at the past without fear, as long as the palace guards broke in, she would be able to tear off Ji Chongguang's disguise in front of people, and it was confirmed that he was here to kill people.

When the palace guards hurriedly arrived, they saw Chu Ning lying on the ground, covered with bloodstains. Chu Ning deliberately pinched his weak voice and said, "I'm sorry for everyone, report it, someone broke into the palace and killed someone...... Planted...... This man...... Ran over there......"

She pointed casually, and it was exactly the direction that Ming Instant told her about Su Sirong's residence. At the moment when the guards arrived, she suddenly figured out that only by involving more people could she succeed in exonerating herself, otherwise, she would be the scapegoat that the queen used to settle the dispute. And the most convenient to be involved is Su Sirong and Gongzi An, who have the same Suyin family bloodline as her.

When it came to the nobles in the palace, the guards didn't dare to hide it, so they could only choose to tell the queen. When Chu Ning was brought to the queen, Su Sirong and Jiang Cheng'an also arrived, and Jiang Chengyu and Ji Chongguang were also present.

Before the others could speak, Jiang Chengyu spoke first: "Queen Mother, today Chongguang specially entered the palace to meet his father, he just entered the palace with his front foot, and the suspect on his back foot was assassinated. "He is well-dressed, and even his boots are covered with pearl shells, which shows that he is usually very popular with the king of Qi, and in front of the queen, he speaks very casually.

The queen turned to Su Sirong: "This little girl said that the person who wanted to kill her ran to your bedroom, what do you say?" ”

Su Sirong glanced at Chu Ning, in this situation, even if she didn't treat Chu Ning in the past, she couldn't say it, so she could only bow her head and say respectfully and humbly: "The Su family has always been the most loyal to the king, and the glory and wealth are already in our hands, so we have no reason to do that kind of thing in the fire, don't you say?" ”

The queen let out a soft "um", and Chu Ning stepped forward and knelt down: "Queen, the person who came to kill me today was stabbed in the left rib by me, just check who has a wound on the left rib, you will know." ”

Her gaze swept over Ji Chongguang's face, and she just happened to see him looking over, and there was a smile in her dark eyes that Chu Ning couldn't understand.
