Chapter 240: Recklessness
"Okay." Chu Mohan stroked the tips of her soft black hair, and a trace of pity flashed under his eyes.
The picture of them getting along is beautiful and warm, but they don't notice that a pair of eyes are staring at them outside the window, jealousy, anger, and resentment are intertwined, which is creepy.
"Ah~~"
An abrupt scream pierced the quiet night sky, waking the two of them up. Chu Wanxiang followed the voice and looked out: "Who! Come out!"
"Ah...... Help me...... Help......
The terrible screams resounded in the night sky, Chu Wanxiang pushed Chu Mohan away, and rushed out like an arrow.
"There are assassins! Guards protect the prince and princess!"
Chu Wanxiang rushed to the window and opened the curtain. I saw a black-clothed masked man swinging his sword and slashing at Chu Mohan, with a sharp move.
Chu Mohan dodged sideways and pulled out his sword to fight with it. Chu Wanxiang took out his waist knife and jumped to the windowsill, jumped down to join the battle circle.
"Protect the prince and princess!" When the guards heard the news, they rushed up.
"Protect the Princess! Protect the king!" The hidden guards also poured out.
After a fight, the men in black were outnumbered and retreated, and were finally taken down by the guards.
"Presumptuous! How dare you assassinate the prince!" The leader of the guards shouted, "Hold on! Torture!"
The man in black resisted desperately and committed suicide by biting his tongue.
The leader of the guards reported to Chu Mohan: "The subordinates have found out that the assassin is a dead soldier cultivated by the Nangong family, and he is specially used to assassinate the prince."
"Nangong family!" Chu Mohan frowned, the Nangong family is a tyrant in the northwest region, and it is ambitious, trying to replace the Qin State and call the emperor to build the country, but because of its weak strength, it has not succeeded.
Chu Mohan groaned: "Send a message to the prince of Qin, asking him to send troops to help suppress the rebellion."
The guards commanded.
Chu Wanxiang leaned against the wall panting, her face pale. There was a lot of danger just now, and she felt scared.
Chu Mohan approached her: "Frightened?" new
Chu Wanxiang barely pulled out a far-fetched laugh: "No...... Nope."
"Your body ......" Chu Mohan paused, looking at her slightly tired face worriedly.
Chu Wanxiang leaned against the wall and stood up: "I'm fine."
Chu Mohan held her cold fingers: "Your face is ugly, lie down and rest for a while, and I will go and tell the cook to stew some bird's nest porridge for you to suppress the shock."
Chu Wanxiang nodded, turned around and went back to the bedroom. She leaned back on the couch, her eyes closed, recalling the scene just now, and her heart palpitated.
She wasn't afraid, she was guilty. If she hadn't blindly blocked her, Chu Mohan wouldn't have taken the risk to save her at all.
"Knock knock—" There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Chu Wanqing walked in with a bowl of bird's nest porridge: "Third sister, are you hungry?"
Chu Wanxiang raised her head: "You sent it?" Thank you."
"The third sister is too polite."
Chu Wanqing walked to the table, put the porridge bowl on the table, and said with a smile: "I heard that you are sick, so I specially asked the kitchen to boil a bowl of bird's nest porridge, you eat it while it is hot, warm your stomach, so as not to accumulate food."
"Thank you, sister." Chu Wanxiang scooped the spoon, blew the cold and put it into her mouth.
Chu Wanqing looked at Chu Wanxiang with a smile, and a different color crossed her eyes: "Third sister, this bird's nest porridge tastes good."
"yes, the chef is my father's old department."
"Then I'll try it another day, I heard that the imperial chef cooks delicious." Chu Wanqing smiled sweetly.
Chu Wanxiang nodded.
"When I went out today, I saw many people on the street talking about the Third Emperor's sister-in-law and the Fourth Emperor's brother, saying that they are so affectionate, and they are simply envious of others."
"They were loving."
Chu Wanqing lowered her eyes, concealed the gloom under her eyes, and continued to smile: "The third sister doesn't have to be modest, the third emperor's sister-in-law can meet such an excellent man as the third brother, it is really a blessing from the cultivation of the third brother."
Chu Wanxiang was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "Yes, if it weren't for the third brother, I might have died a long time ago."
"By the way, how could the third imperial sister-in-law be unconscious on the road
Above? I heard from people that it was a group of beggars chasing the third emperor's sister-in-law for silver."
Chu Wanxiang's eyes suddenly became sharp, and her tone was cold: "They were sent by the Mu family!"
"The Mu family......" Chu Wanqing said in shock, "Isn't the Mu family going to rebel?"
"The Mu family not only wants to rebel, but also intends to rebel, so I must get rid of them!"
Chu Wanqing's eyes rolled around, and she pretended to be at a loss and said, "Third sister, I'm ...... I don't know what to do?"
"You don't care about anything, stay in the inn, don't come out, and don't tell anyone you're here."
"Hmm." Chu Wanqing replied, thinking about a plan in her heart.
Chu Wanxiang went back to the house after admonishing her.
"The Three Emperors' Sisters-in-law......
"Shhhhhh Chu Mohan motioned for her to be silent.
Chu Wanqing hurriedly covered her mouth and quietly poked her head out to observe, only to see Chu Wanxiang lying on the bed resting. She breathed a sigh of relief, collected her emotions, and tiptoed out of the room.
Chu Wanxiang slept for a while, and woke up to find that her stomach was rumbling.
"Someone." She shouted.
The maid came in, "Princess, what do you command?"
"Cook something to eat."
The maid went out and got ready.
Chu Wanxiang got up and freshened up, changed into a loose long skirt, draped her long hair, and sat in front of the mirror. She stared at her own face in the bronze mirror, her gaze dark. Her skin is excellent, her facial features are exquisite, her skin is delicate, and she can be broken by blowing.
Her eyes were dark and clear, and her pupils seemed to be soaked in crystal.
Although this body was occupied by her through the resurrection of the corpse, she did not reject this feeling. Because of this soul, she fused more together, as if she had become one with this skin, without any disobedience.
She loved the body.
Her soul resides in her, she is who she is, she is who she is. This feeling made her have a moment of trance, and it seemed that she had returned to modern society.
"Third sister." Chu Wanqing called lightly.
"My sister is here." Chu Wanxiang turned around and smiled at her.
"Hmm. I heard that you are sick, so I specially asked the kitchen to make bird's nest porridge and send it." Chu Wanqing smiled gently and handed her the bird's nest, "Drink it while it's hot, this thing is good for girls."
Chu Wanxiang took it and ate slowly.
After eating, Chu Wanqing took the empty bowl and retreated.
Chu Wanxiang looked at the direction in which her slender back disappeared, and her eyes were dark.
As soon as Chu Wanqing left, Chu Mohan pushed the door in.
"What are you doing here?" Chu Wanxiang looked at him indifferently.
"I have something for you." Chu Mohan sat down opposite her, "What do you think of today's events?"
Chu Wanxiang raised her lips and smiled, "Of course I hope you are safe and sound."
"You ......"
"I'm serious." Chu Wanxiang interrupted him, "I'm not a fool, I won't be bullied. But don't worry, I won't be as reckless as I was last time."
Chu Mohan frowned: "What's wrong with you?"
Chu Wanxiang pursed her lips, suddenly threw herself into his arms, hugged his neck, and buried him in his chest: "Mo Han, I'm worried about you, I'm really worried about you."
Chu Mohan's body stiffened, and he slowly raised his hand to stroke her soft long hair, and his voice was low: "Wanxiang, what's wrong with you?"
"Mo Han, I don't know why, I always dream of you, I dream that you are covered in blood and fall into my arms...... I didn't dare close my eyes, I didn't dare to wake up." Chu Wanxiang muttered.
