"Miss Shen, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up......"

In the middle of the night, Shen Lingxi was sleeping soundly, when he suddenly heard an anxious call in his ears.

She opened her eyes in a daze, and saw Yuzhu, who had not appeared for a long time, standing anxiously in front of her bed.

"Yuzhu?" Shen Lingxi shook his head, immediately came to his senses, and sat up, "Where have you been these days?" I have something to ask you. ”

"If the girl has any problems, she might as well ask later." Yuzhu's face has always been indifferent, and it is difficult to hide the anxious look, "In half an hour, an assassin is going to take the life of the eldest princess, and I ask the girl to find a way to save the eldest princess, if it is a little later, I am afraid it will be too late." ”

Shen Lingxi's face changed, and he hurriedly got out of bed, "I'll go find Chu Yan for help." ”

In the upper room, Chu Yan was holding a long sword in his arms, and he was sitting on the soft couch by the window, closing his eyes and resting.

The window lattice was propped up by him with a thin slit, facing the west wing where Shen Lingxi was resting, and he could pay attention to the movement outside the room at any time.

Hearing the sound of the door opening in the west chamber, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his inky starry eyes flashed with sharp cold light in an instant.

Seeing Shen Lingxi running out in a panic, he sat down, strode out of the room, and greeted him.

The slender hand pulled through her sleeve, and the tall and straight figure caged her behind her, looking warily at the wide open door.

"What's wrong?" He turned his head sideways, his eyebrows cold, but faintly keen.

Shen Lingxi was shocked by this series of actions, and his expression was slightly stunned.

Seeing that his robe was neat and there was no tiredness between his eyebrows, she finally came back to her senses.

Is this all the time I haven't slept and stayed in the room?

Shen Lingxi knew that they were "detained" in the eldest princess's mansion this time, and someone would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble.

But she didn't expect it to be so dangerous.

"Half an hour later, an assassin will come to kill the eldest princess." She said bluntly, "Please also ask Your Highness to go to the rescue quickly." ”

As he spoke, the corner of Shen Lingxi's eyes caught a glimpse of Yuzhu's soul shadow, and he was about to float towards them, and his heart was shocked.

Afraid that he would be bounced away by the evil qi around Chu Yan's body, she hurriedly said, "Don't come here, don't come close!" ”

This sound made Chu Yan "brush" and instantly pulled out the long sword in his hand.

The sword blade glowing with cold light, wrapped in a chilling killing intent, pointed directly at the direction of Shen Lingxi's line of sight.

The violent aura around him made Yuzhu's soul turn pale with horror, and he retreated suddenly, finally understanding why Shen Lingxi would let him stop.

Chu Yan didn't notice anything unusual there.

There is nothing there.

"Who are you talking to?" He asked.

"It's Yuzhu." At this time, there was no need for Shen Lingxi to hide it from him, "He just woke me up, told me about the assassination, and asked me to find a way to save the eldest princess." ”

Yuzhu was already a dead man.

If a dead man can speak, he is a ghost.

Chu Yan's eyes were slightly dark.

This is not the first time that Shen Lingxi has said such absurd words in front of him.

In the past, out of trust in her past words and deeds, Chu Yan would choose to believe.

But after last night's incident, Shen Lingxi had no integrity at all in front of him.

Shen Lingxi could see the doubt in his eyes at a glance.

In a hurry, she subconsciously stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, and said urgently: "You said you would believe me......"

As soon as the words came out, she was shocked that something was wrong, and hurriedly stopped, her eyes were full of weakness.

suffered, and it was exposed again.

Chu Yan's eyes darkened, and a light flashed under his eyes.

He had said to believe her.

But at that time, he was "Ning Liulang".

So, when did she know his identity?

Was it after knowing "Chu Yan", or before that?

Chu Yan's cold gaze swept over Shen Lingxi's watery eyes and landed on her onion-white fingertips clenching her sleeves.

Inadvertently, he thought that before, in the old nest of the Hidden Moon Pavilion, she would also be in front of people, grabbing his sleeve like this.

At that time, although she had concealment and calculation, she had never done anything hurtful.

On the contrary, in his eyes, she was dressed for the deceased, with pure compassion in her heart......

Chu Yan's cold starry eyes were a little loose.

"Keep up."

He closed his sword, pulled back his sleeve with a blank face, and walked towards the courtyard gate.

This time, he wanted to see what tricks the little liar was up to.

Shen Lingxi saw that he believed in himself, and his heart was slightly relieved.

Just as he was about to step up to follow, he suddenly heard Yuzhu's voice coming again, "There are those martial maids guarding outside, and they are not all credible. ”

When she turned her head, she saw that the jade bamboo had floated to the wall in the northwest corner of the courtyard.

Yuzhu: "Go from here, there are no guards, I'll take you there." ”

"Wait." Shen Lingxi hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Chu Yan's sleeve, stopped him from opening the door, and repeated Yuzhu's words in a low voice.

Seeing him look down at his hand, Shen Lingxi withdrew his fingertips slightly crampedly, turned around and walked towards the wall where Yuzhu was.

Chu Yan crossed her and flew up the wall, and sure enough, when he saw that there was no martial maid outside, his expression was slightly condensed.

He was about to go down, when he suddenly found Shen Lingxi still standing in place, looking at her with raised eyebrows.

Although he didn't say anything, his expression was already asking, "Why haven't you come up yet?" ”

Shen Lingxi's eyebrows skipped a beat.

If it had been before, he would have taken her straight to the wall.

But now, he was waiting for her to go up at the top of the wall.

This means that, subconsciously, he has already decided that she will work lightly.

Until this moment, Shen Lingxi finally understood that her footwork to dodge the sword move last night should have been seen by him.

Later, clumsy lies such as "spraining an ankle" were probably already seen through by him.

She didn't know anything about it, and even imagined that she could still "form a good relationship with him with cause and effect" when she lost trust.

It is estimated that in the eyes of this imperial grandson, she is not only a liar now, but also a liar with strong martial arts!

Shen Lingxi sighed silently in his heart.

But you still have to keep smiling, "Please forgive me, Your Highness, I will only protect myself, it is true, I really will not work lightly." ”

Chu Yan glanced at her, didn't say anything, flew in front of her, and stretched out his hand to her.

It's just that his hand could be stopped when he was about to touch Shen Lingxi's body.

When he was hesitating whether to hold her slender waist or pick her up like he did last night-——

I saw Shen Lingxi take half a step forward directly, softly into his arms, and his slender arms tightly wrapped around his waist.

"Your Highness Lao, bear with me, I'm fine, let's go." Her little face, pressed against the placket of his heart, whispered.

Chu Yan's thin lips were pursed, only to feel that his heart seemed to be burned by something, causing his fingers hanging in the air to curl slightly, and finally slowly fell on her waist......

*

With Yuzhu leading the way, Chu Yan took Shen Lingxi to perform light skills, avoiding the guards, and it took a lot of time before he quietly landed in the courtyard where the eldest princess was resting.

The courtyard was dark, and there were no lights.

Xu is reason why Wu Wan was sent to protect Chu Yan and Shen Lingxi's small courtyard, and there was no one on duty outside the courtyard.

Yuzhu led the two of them through the half-open window into the eldest princess's boudoir.

There were no maidservants in the room who were on night duty.

"Meow ......"

Xue Tuan and King An were both in front of the eldest princess's bed, but the eldest princess didn't know anything about it, and was still lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.

Shen Lingxi was about to wake her up, when she heard Yuzhu's voice coming from the roof, "The assassin is coming, be careful!" ”
