My eyes widened in horror, watching an arrow pierce Han Ruoshi's back shoulder, she let out a miserable cry and fell softly into Pei Yuanxiu's arms.

Blood stained them both!

What's going on?

How can there be an arrow?

I couldn't believe my eyes, I looked at Pei Yuanxiu with a shocked expression on my face, hugged Han Ruoshi, and reached over with one hand to cover the place where he was shot by the bow and arrow, blood gushed out along his fingers, and immediately dyed most of Han Ruoshi's back red.

Just now, the arrow was aimed at Pei Yuanxiu, I could see it clearly, but just as Han Ruoshi reached out to help his shoulder, the arrow hit her back shoulder by mistake!

"Sister!"

Han Zitong was already stunned, and hurriedly pounced at this time and hugged Han Ruoshi's arm: "Sister, what's wrong with you?!" ”

And the guards who were following them rushed over at this time, surrounded them in the center, and blocked them with their bodies.

“……！”

It was as if I had been struck by lightning, and my whole body trembled.

This scene reminded me of the beginning, that night in Jixiang Village, almost the same scene, Pei Yuanxiu was shot in the heart by an arrow that suddenly appeared, and those guards immediately rushed up to surround him in the middle, blocking him with flesh and blood.

It's been so many years, and although that incident almost changed my life, it's been a long time, and he hasn't mentioned it again, so everyone almost forgets about it, but I can't imagine that after so many years, history repeats itself again.

Could it be that the person who wanted to assassinate him in the first place is now doing it again?

Who is it? Who is it?

I turned my head and looked around, all around me were those desolate people, some were still fighting with those people, some had already sensed that the situation was wrong and retreated, and the soldiers on both sides were already about to run to us at this time, Wu Yanqiu, who was on the beheading platform in front, also took other officials from the beheading platform and hurriedly walked down from the beheading platform.

Not them...... Not them......

Who's that? Who will it be?

I thought about it, and subconsciously turned my head and looked at Februaryhong on the other side.

The bamboo curtain on the third floor, which had been hanging down quietly, had been lifted by the guards on both sides at this moment, and I saw Pei Yuanhao standing up from his seat at a glance, looking down with a surprised expression.

Obviously, he also saw the scene just now.

Obviously, it was also unexpected by him.

Immediately, he raised his head and looked around, and after a cursory glance, he beckoned, and several guards ran behind him, and he seemed to whisper something, and those people immediately turned around and left, without looking, and knew that they must have come downstairs.

But I also know that it's not him.

If it's not him, who is it? Who has to kill Pei Yuanxiu?

At this moment, not only was the whole scene chaotic, but my mind was also completely chaotic, when I looked back again, I saw that Pei Yuanxiu had already picked up Han Ruoshi, who was covered in blood, and those guards immediately surrounded them and protected them tightly, Pei Yuanxiu raised his head and looked at me again, and said with a heavy face: "Qingying, come here!" ”

“……”

I stood in the middle of the crowd, bumped by more and more people running around, and almost stumbled several times to fall, but I managed to hold on to my body, clenched the heavy thing in my palm, which almost hurt my palm, gritted my teeth, and walked towards them.

As soon as I approached, several guards stepped forward and protected me.

He glanced down at me, and didn't have time to say anything else, so he said directly: "Go!" ”

I was half-supported and half-pushed by the guards, and walked forward stiffly, and after taking two steps, I looked back again, and the execution ground that had been pretended to be strict and steaming, after the scuffle just now, was now only a mess, the people had almost dispersed, and the ground was still sprinkled with blood of unknown people, and I saw Rue Xiang also mixed in the crowd, and while looking back at me, she retreated to the long street next to her.

One last glance at the third floor of Februaryhong, which was already empty, only the slightly swaying bamboo curtain remained, swaying gently in the wind.

After our group crossed the river, we got into the carriage and hurried all the way, and finally returned to Jinling Mansion.

Because of Han Ruoshi's injury, Pei Yuanxiu has been hugging her all the time, and she is also sitting in the same carriage, when our carriage stopped, after I got off the carriage behind, I saw that they had already walked towards the house.

And on the ground, there were drops of blood that were so bright red that they were almost piercing all the way.

I don't know if it's because of the blood-red color, or the smell of blood, I was a little distracted, and when I walked through the door, I almost tripped over the threshold, and after stumbling a step, I looked up again, and there was no one in front of me.

I only heard the noisy shouting in front of me, it was he who was ordering someone to hurry up and call Yao Lao to go over there to treat Han Ruoshi's injuries, and those attendants and maids were even more frightened at the moment, and they all followed to serve, and there were only a few unfamiliar faces left at the door, they looked at me silently, didn't say anything, turned around and left.

I stood in the somewhat empty doorway for a while.

Fortunately, Su Su came after a while, and as soon as she saw me standing there in a wooden manner, she hurriedly came over and grabbed my arm: "Miss! ”

I looked up at her, "Hmm. ”

"How are you?"

"Huh?"

"I just came over and heard them say on the way that someone was hurt, not you, right?"

As she spoke, she grabbed my arm and looked up and down, seeing that her little face was pale with fright, I hurriedly said, "It's not me, it's Han Ruoshi, she was shot by a cold arrow." ”

"Cold arrows?"

When Su Su heard this, her brows furrowed, and she seemed to remember something, and hurriedly looked at me: "Whose cold arrow?" ”

"I don't know."

Speaking of which, I was a little conscious, but I felt a little sleepy, and when I saw my pale face and tired look, Su Su hurriedly said, "Isn't the eldest lady very tired?" Do you want to go back and rest first? ”

“……”

I was silent for a moment, and glanced at the place where the noise came from—it stands to reason that as the lady of this house, I should go over and have a look, but if I really passed, it would be boring to be self-deprecating, and besides, I still need time to digest and even accept what happened on the execution ground.

So, I said lightly: "Well, you can help me go back." ”

Su Su hurriedly helped me, and the two of them walked towards the inner courtyard. As I walked down the road, I casually asked, "By the way, why did you suddenly get out of the yard?" ”

"Oh, today Yao Lao came to give Miss Miaoyan an injection, he asked me to wait outside, but I heard the noise outside at the door, and I heard them say, Childe and Miss have returned home, and said that someone is injured, I am worried that you are injured, so I hurried over to see."

I nodded, and suddenly came back to my senses: "Yao Lao is still in the inner courtyard now?" ”

"It should still be there."

As soon as I remembered the injuries on Han Ruoshi's body just now, and the fact that they asked Yao Lao to show her injuries, if this was a puff up, things would be complicated, so I hurriedly accelerated my pace.

Su Su may have realized this and helped me forward, but just as we reached the head of the small bridge outside the inner courtyard, my steps suddenly froze.

All the chaos in my mind, and those chaotic thoughts, suddenly became clear at this moment.

Su Su saw me stop suddenly and looked at me a little strangely.

I was silent for a moment, then turned to look at her and said, "Susu, I'll tell you something. ”

As soon as she heard that I was going to explain things, she immediately nodded, looking at me with a straight face, and I leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear, at first Su Su could still listen quietly, but when she heard the back, her face changed suddenly, and after I finished speaking, she looked up at me in shock, with an expression of disbelief: "Miss, this-"

"You remember my words."

"......" She was still a little unacceptable, and she was stunned to digest it for a long time, and then raised her head to look at me and said, "I, I listen to the eldest lady." ”

"Hmm."

"It's just—"

"Don't ask why."

Usually when I explain things like this, she will definitely do it without saying a word, and today, she did agree, but after a moment of silence, when I was about to continue walking, she still looked up at me again: "Miss, will it really be like you think?" ”

My steps sank again.

She asked me this, in fact, I didn't ask myself this way, but no matter how much I asked myself, no matter how many answers, at this moment, I still made such a decision.

"I hope, no."

After saying that, she didn't say anything more, and she hurried to follow, helping her to walk forward, who knows
