Chapter 49: Get Out
Seeing Guo Jing leaving, Tang Ruyan entered the room without hesitation, she still had something to ask.
Concubine Xiu was lying on the ground, still breathing, and when she saw Tang Ruyan, there was a pleading look in her eyes, her lips trembled, and she uttered indistinct words.
Tang Ruyan sneered, it turned out that a person who trampled on other people's lives at will would be afraid when he was dying, of course she would not be kind enough to save this woman, as a concubine who gave birth to a prince, she could be poisoned, so the person who dealt with her can be imagined, so today is destined to be her sacrifice day.
"Concubine Xiu, do you know me?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Tang Ruyan's mouth.
Concubine Xiu's consciousness was already blurred at the moment, and after listening to Tang Ruyan's words, she reluctantly opened her eyes and glanced at it, and then there was surprise in her eyes, "It's you?" β
"It's me."
"Huh!" Concubine Xiu looked at the clothes on her body and sneered, "Dignified princess, it's really pitiful to end up so miserably, what if that man loves you?" Your identity is destined to not be able to be together, and love without an ending is destined to pay a huge price, but the harvest is only bitter fruit. β
Concubine Xiu's expression suddenly improved, and she looked at Tang Ruyan's eyes with resentment that could not be concealed, "Haha, wronged, wronged, but seeing you in pain, I am satisfied." β
Tang Ruyan's face sank, and he secretly thought about Concubine Xiu's words. Who was the man she was talking about? A name flashed through her mind, and Tang Ruyan couldn't help but shiver, but then forced herself to calm down.
Concubine Xiu didn't know about her amnesia, and she didn't plan to divulge her about herself to a dying person.
"People who are dying are still in the mood to laugh at other people's lives." Tang Ruyan looked at Concubine Xiu with disdain, undisguised her sarcasm.
Concubine Xiu's face was difficult to look at, perhaps because of the pain in her body, her face became distorted, and there was still a half-trace of beauty, "Tang Ruyan, are you laughing at me?" You will regret it, you will regret it sooner or later, you should have been a dead man, you should have been a dead ββγ β
Before the words were finished, her round eyes showed her unwillingness. Tang Ruyan raised her hand and closed her eyes, in this place, there are as many people as ants who don't look at each other, maybe a few years later, no one will remember that there was once a Xiuzhu Palace in this harem, and there was a red-faced Concubine Xiu living in the palace.
Time did not allow her to linger any longer, the guards had already broken down the door, and in a moment they would burst into the room.
Tang Ruyan got up, quickly groped around Concubine Xiu for a while, found nothing, and glanced at the room again, the palace maids who came in with her had already swallowed their breath.
Obviously, someone has set a trap just waiting for her to come to the net.
There are only a few people who can calculate so shrewdly in this harem. Tang Ruyan got up, saw the guards rushing in through the crack in the door, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, an unknown object flew out with a flick of his finger, the window was bounced open, and he jumped without hesitation and disappeared into the room.
"Catch the assassin!" The guards shouted and rushed into the room, not surprised to see Chen Heng's corpse on the ground, and immediately dispersed to look for the assassin when they saw no one in the room.
Hum! I was really prepared. Looking at the movements of those guards, Tang Ruyan, who was hiding in the dark and watching all this, couldn't help but show a hint of mockery at the corner of her mouth, of course she wouldn't leave, she hadn't figured out Concubine Xiu's words yet, her words were too strange and aroused her interest, in addition, since the other party had set a trap to catch her, then there must have been a deployment outside, and she would definitely be stopped when she went out at this time.
The most dangerous opponent is the safest opponent.
Adhering to this principle, Tang Ruyan did not leave the room, but just made the illusion that she was leaving, and after those guards left, it was much safer for her to follow her out than to go out rashly.
No assassin was found, and the guards quickly returned to the room to assemble, and the leader was still the young man, whose name was Long Zitian, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood, and could be described as a heroic boy, and had become the leader of the Praetorian Guard in the palace in the twentieth century.
At the moment, he was wondering. It was too sudden, he was originally at the scene of the Poseidon Festival, responsible for the order and safety of the scene, but suddenly someone came to report that there was an assassin on Concubine Xiu's side, so he hurriedly brought someone here.
"There are few dragons, and no assassins have been found." The guards told the truth.
Long Zi frowned slightly, walked a few steps around the room, suddenly stopped, turned around and walked towards Concubine Xiu who was lying on the ground, tried her pulse, and had already lost her breath, but her body was still hot, and it was obvious that she had just breathed, which was too much of a coincidence. "Evacuate Concubine Xiu's body first." The dragon leaned up, his face was calm and waveless, but his heart was turbulent.
"Yes." A few guards agreed, and immediately went out to deal with the relevant matters.
Tang Ruyan held his breath and stared, holding the dagger tightly in his hand. God knows that when Long Zitian paused, she almost made a move, and the place where Long Zitian stopped was where she was hiding, but just when she was about to make a move, Long Zitian suddenly walked away again.
He didn't find her? Tang Ruyan frowned, her eyes kept staring at Long Zitian, she confirmed that the person should have found her, she didn't know for what purpose, and she didn't want to pull her out in person.
Could it beβhe already knew her identity?
Thinking that he should have had a relationship with the original owner, maybe the other party wanted to give her a chance, last night's incident, although everyone saw that she had succeeded, but she knew in her heart that that person could be avoided, but he chose to retreat, making people think that he was invincible so he let the assassin run away.
In this way, Tang Ruyan felt that it was very likely that he would deliberately let her go. It's just that she really doesn't know what kind of relationship this young man has with the original owner, if she can be sure that this person has a lot of friendship with the original owner, she can take advantage of this person.
But she couldn't afford to gamble.
So she waited, waiting for the boy to find her, and she was sure that the boy would find her soon.
"Get rid of those corpses too." Long Zi leaned to the guards who were still in the house and commanded, and the guards hurriedly responded to the two of them carrying one to get those corpses away, Concubine Xiu, they naturally had to be polite, but it was completely unnecessary for the palace maids.
The guards were all gone, and only two people were left in the room.
Tang Ruyan still held his breath and waited.
Long Zitian naturally knew that there were still people in this room, otherwise he wouldn't have sent those people out, but he wasn't sure if the person hiding in the room was the same person as the person last night. But the powerful murderous aura he felt when he stopped just now was real.
So, he hesitated.
Moving a few steps at will seems to be very ordinary, but Long Zitian knows that every step he takes is thrilling, and maybe the person hiding in the shadows will give him a fatal blow at any time.
"If you dare to break into the palace in broad daylight, why hide in the dark?" Long Zi poured out his mouth, this sentence was a temptation, he was betting, the person in the room was the person from last night. Because there was no smell in the room that he was familiar with, the woman's favorite smell was almost a symbol of her status, and once upon a time, as long as he smelled it, he could be sure.
But now, it's different. He knew that she was in a foreign country and had such an identity, she must have suffered a lot, but how could she say that she was also a person with a noble status, how could she change so much.
This is one of the reasons why he is not sure. Even if a person changes, some small habits will still be retained.
But he couldn't forget those eyes, only those eyes that people had, and he would never forget them.
Tang Ruyan didn't make a sound, and there was a fierce struggle in his heart, should he go out or continue to pretend to be confused? She didn't know, but she knew that the boy exuded a dangerous aura, and this person, she was very difficult to deal with.
"This is Concubine Xiu's bedroom, and there are already a lot of horses and horses outside, and if you want to go out on your own, there will be more than luck." Long Zitian continued to probe the test. Of course, he also wondered why the queen mother was so prescient and had already arranged the people and horses, here, it seemed to be a trap, a trap with a concubine as bait, just waiting for the prey to enter.
Could it be that the dragon son was stunned, he didn't dare to think deeply, even if he was in a high position, but his accusation was to be responsible for the security of this palace and obey the orders of his master, and he had no right to ask about the rest.
Tang Ruyan was not stupid, of course he heard that this was his temptation, to be exact, he was not sure if the person in the room was her.
Take a gamble? No, she never fights battles that she is not sure of.
Since Long Zitian didn't find her out in person, it means that he has some scruples, otherwise he can do it directly.
At this time, a team of guards came in from outside, carrying a stretcher to carry away Concubine Xiu's body, Long Zi was silent, and waved his big hand: "Block the scene, before the assassin is caught, idle people, etc., are not allowed to enter and exit." β
Tang Ruyan's hanging heart finally let go.
She bet right, Long Zitian should have guessed her identity, and did not expose her, blocking the scene, ostensibly controlling her, but in reality? On the other hand, isn't that a form of protection?
