Chapter 168: Beware!
(Pink ticket 240 plus update)
"Did you see anyone?" Changsun Xian looked sideways at the people beside her.
The eldest grandson smiled. Two lovely pears bloomed, "Well, I see." β
Changsun Xian's left fist under the case suddenly opened and buckled on the carpet, but his face said with a worried face: "How is his health, what is his disease?" β
"The fourth brother is contaminated with the wind and cold," Changsun Xi's little face suddenly collapsed, "Sister, you better not go to see him, let him rest for a few days, okay?" β
Such a soft request, no one can bear to refuse, Changsun Xian looked into her bright eyes, and nodded without much hesitation, "Okay, then we won't go." β
Chai Tianwei didn't have any special reaction to Gao Yang, but Li Ke leaned his back against the railing and smiled softly at Changsun Xi: "Xi'er, when would you be so considerate to me." β
Changsun Xi turned his head sideways and smiled at him, and then muttered something to Chai Tianwei, Gao Yang snorted lightly, and said without face: "Can you compare with my fourth brother." β
Li Ke's eyes were still staring at the smiling eldest grandson. His lips opened and closed slightly: "Gao Yang, why can't you compare with him, my reputation outside is much better than his." β
is also a popular candidate for heir, Li Ke's reputation among the people is excellent, not only because he advocated and put forward several national policies for the benefit of the people, but in the eyes of outsiders, the third prince is a modest and pro-people representative. Although the imperial power does not care about the will of the people, the will of the people is indeed a sharp weapon in the struggle for power.
Gao Yang turned to look at the lake and said sarcastically in a low voice: "If it weren't for a few strategists with smarter brains, your reputation would not be as good as that of the eldest emperor." β
Li Ke raised his eyebrows, chuckled, did not see any anger, and did not answer her words, Yu Guang looked at Changsun Xian's slightly stiff figure, the hand holding on the railing, and tapped his fingers lightly.

When Yi Yu walked out of Li Tai's house, there were only two lanterns lit in the courtyard under the cover of night, and Zhao He was extinguishing the small stove in the small shed, and when he saw her come out, he asked in a low voice:
"Miss Lu, is the prince asleep?"
"Well, boil the water tomorrow morning." After the first night, the time to freshen up needs to be changed to the morning, and a massage before bed is unavoidable.
At noon, Li Tai slept for the first time in more than a month under her "service", and slept for more than three hours due to the interference of nightmare poison, and did not wake up until the evening. She can continue to sleep at night, which makes her inevitably sigh for a while, she hasn't slept for a month, and she can finally sleep, so she naturally wants to make up for it.
After admonishing Zhao He, Yu Yu returned to her room and asked the maid guarding the door to bring clean water to wash, and when she lay on the bed, she couldn't fall asleep over and over.
I had to put on another piece of clothing, light the candlestick next to the bed, take the "Book Mountain Miscellaneous Conversations" borrowed from Li Tai's study in the evening, lean on the head of the bed and continue to read the previous part.
A few days before the harvest, he found that when he went to the field every morning, a lot of grain was trampled, and the field was full of people's shoe prints, so he squatted in the field one night wearing a thick coat and waited for the person who spoiled the grain to come.
In the middle of the moon, the field suddenly sounded like a cow's "moo", the cry accompanied by the sound of the wheat field being trampled closer and closer to him, the old man hiding in the field slowly opened a three-finger-wide gap in the wheat ear in front of him. A few steps away, there was a figure standing, and under the moonlight, a cow's face was extremely hideousβ
Seeing the critical moment with relish, Yi Yu leaned outward and approached the candlestick, so he moved, but he glanced at the window on the side of the screen and behind the small building, and there was a faint black shadow on half of it!
She forcibly held back the screams that reached her throat, and after calming her emotions, she moved her lower body to the side of the bed, half-lowered her head, and secretly looked sideways at the black shadow that seemed to be immovable.
After a few breaths, the remnants who have lived in this house for a few days can be sure that the shadow of a tree outside the window is not something else, it is definitely a person!
When this thought was conveyed to her mind, she didn't shout in a panic, don't look at this secret mansion without guards, but she knew that Li Tai couldn't have arranged people in the dark, and now this sneaky person is definitely a person with bad intentions, since she can touch here, she must have some ability, I'm afraid that her shout has not reached the ears of people outside, and it has been run away by this person, and it is good to run away, other people's houses broke through the window and coerced her, that is called ridiculous.
The doors and windows of the small building are covered with sturdy oiled paper, although this specially made oiled paper cannot be seen clearly from the outside, it does not prevent the eyes from faintly distinguishing her movements through the light in the room. After Yi Yu frowned, the hand on the side of the bed groped under the pillow for a while, and when he touched a cold vial, his tense emotions suddenly relaxed, it's good to have this thing!
She looked at the motionless figure for a while, looked down at the neat middle coat on her body, and did not dare to extinguish the candle and pretend to sleep, so she could only lean against the head of the bed, and from time to time turn a page with her right hand holding the vial, and consume it with the man.
A quarter of an hour passed, and the man was still standing by the window covered by the screen, in fact, this person was standing in a very good position, if it weren't for the fact that Yu Yu was lying a little outward, plus the special window paper, she would definitely not be discovered.
Just as Yu Yu was speculating about the man's intentions, the figure that had been standing outside the window for a quarter of an hour finally waved slightly! At this moment, Yi Yu subconsciously grabbed the vial in his right hand, but the left hand holding the book suddenly cramped, and the book fell from his hand and slid to the ground along the side of the bed.
"Smack!"
The human condition launch is sometimes indeed a mistake, and the remnants of the response plan that I had just thought about for a long time fell to the ground at the same time. With a shake of his left hand, he ducked to the inside of the bed, and his right hand, which was holding the vial, quickly swung in front of him, and pried the cap open with his thumb!
Finished! Yi Yu really wanted to wail at the moment, how could the other party not notice such a big movement-
"Help!" After sitting stiff for a long time, I still have to scream.
At the same time as she spoke, the window behind the screen was split open with a "bump", and a figure rushed in, and the figure walked to the side of the jade bed in a flash-
"Bump! Touch! There were several loud bangs, and the door of the courtyard and the door of the bedroom were slammed open one after another. Yi Yu opened his eyes wide and looked at the masked man who had already walked to his bedside, turned around and drew the long sword at his waist with lightning speed, and blocked the dagger that stabbed him at the same time in the back with a "sonorous sound", and the two people who stabbed the dagger quickly were the two people who were waiting for Yu Yu in this courtyard - maids?
Only then did she suddenly realize, no wonder when she first came that day, she always felt that the atmosphere was strange, the people here were not only too quiet, but also moved as light and silent as cats, it turned out that they were martial arts.
Yi Yu hugged the quilt and shrunk in, looking at the three people who had already made two moves, and the lights that were clearly extinguished by their actions made her see clearly that the "thief" who was facing away from her was undoubtedly a man, of medium stature, and did not wear a black dress for night walking, but an ordinary pale cloth clothes.
Without waiting for her to look too much, the uninvited guest who had gone through four or five moves with the two maids seemed to be a little impatient, and his body rushed behind the two like ghosts, holding the hilt of the sword in one hand and forming a palm in the other, and hitting them on the back of the neck at the same time!
Yi Yu looked at the man in the blue clothes standing behind the two maids who fell in response to the sound with a bitter face, holding the quilt tightly with both hands, and when he was about to make a sound, he heard footsteps outside the door again, and this uninvited guest actually reached out after a glance at her, and turned to rush towards the window where he came in just now.
By the time the two men in charge of cleaning in the courtyard rushed in, he was gone.
From the intrusion of this uninvited guest to his departure, it was only a moment of effort, and this person swept by like a gust of wind, but it made Yu Yu wonder in his heart after relaxing-what is he here for?
"Miss Lu, are you alright?" Zhao He also walked in behind the two subordinates, and saw the Yu Yu who was "in a daze", and thought she was frightened.
Yi Yu shook his head at them, "I'm fine," and pointed to the two maids lying on the ground, "See how they are?" β
Although it is the duty to do so. But after all, she came in to save her, and if she was injured, she could find some medicine for the two of them.
Zhao He squatted beside the two maids lying on the ground, examined the back of their necks, looked up and said to Yi Yu, "It's okay, it's just faint," and then glanced at the broken half-person-high window, and then asked her, "Miss Lu, what's going on?" β
Yi Yu told her about the discovery of the black shadow from beginning to end, Zhao He pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the little one will personally wait outside the door tonight, as long as that person dares to come again, he will definitely let him go and never return." β
Yi Yu nodded, stretched out his finger and pointed to the broken window, "Move the screen over and make up for it, I'll take it for the night." β
Although there is a room upstairs, but after such an incident, she thinks it is better to stay where she is, tonight this uninvited guest is indeed strange, I don't know how long she stood outside her window, and broke in just to stun the two maids?
She doesn't know martial arts, but she can see from his speed that before Zhao He came, this person definitely had time to kidnap her, but he didn't, so what did he do?
After everyone retreated, Yi Yu put down the gauze tent, did not dare to turn off the light, lay on the bed and covered the quilt tightly, when he was thinking, he suddenly felt something strange at his feet, so he sat up again and reached out at the end of the bed to touch, and really let her find something out.
It was a note folded to the width of a finger, and she frowned and opened the veil, uncovering it, and looking at the candlelight, there was a handwriting she knew all too well:
On the evening of September 30, beware!
