Ye Shuhua walked alone on the street, observing the pedestrians around her.

I don't know what happened to Liji, she told him in advance that he shouldn't be injured again if he was on guard, right?

Just as I was thinking about it, a cool breeze passed by my back.

Ye Shuhua subconsciously leaned forward to dodge, and then dodged sideways the opponent's second attack.

She turned her head sideways at this time and saw that it was indeed a bamboo shadow.

But looking at her eyes, she said, "You're not a bamboo shadow!" Who the hell are you! ”

The man sneered, "The one who killed you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, she immediately pulled out her soft sword from her waist and began to attack violently.

Ye Shuhua's dagger was too small, and the soft sword was soft and sharp, and it couldn't be blocked at all.

After a few strokes, her arms and neck were scratched.

The two stood opposite each other, and the autumn rain began to fall again at some point.

Wet forehead, shredded hair clinging to his face.

The rain said as he slashed across his forehead and then across his neck, carrying blood down his neck.

Ye Shuhua's eyes flickered from side to side, as if he was looking for something.

The person on the other side sneered: "Don't look for it, the other two are too difficult to protect themselves, and it is impossible for them to save you." ”

"You, just wait to die today!"

"Wait!" Ye Shuhua stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "Since I will die today, can you tell me who you are?" ”

The man hooked his lips and sneered: "Who I am, you will never know!" ”

After speaking, she flashed her sword and stabbed straight at her heart.

Ye Shuhua lifted the dagger and wanted to block it, but found that his arm had no strength.

My legs also looked like they were filled with lead, and I couldn't move!

The sword was poisonous, but it wasn't fatal, it just made her stiff and unable to move.

The soft sword was as thin as a cicada's wings, but it was extremely sharp, cutting through the autumn rain and stabbing straight into her heart.

Just when the soft sword touched the placket of her clothes, the soft sword stopped abruptly, and the eyes of the person opposite widened, and his eyes became dilated, and then he fainted without opening his mouth to say a word.

Ye Shuhua didn't know what was going on yet.

Seeing Jiuyu rushing over, he stepped forward and took a complicated look at the "bamboo shadow" on the ground, and hurriedly strode in front of Ye Shuhua.

"Princess, how are you?"

"I was poisoned, stiff and couldn't move. Lizhen, how is he over there? ”

Jiuyu took out a medicine bottle from his waist, this is a pill that can cure a hundred poisons, and I don't know if the poison of Li Kingdom can work.

But he could only try, he took out one and fed it to Ye Shuhua.

Only then did he say: "That person on His Highness's side is a little difficult, and His Highness is worried about you, so let me come to look for you first." ”

After taking the medicine, Ye Shuhua obviously felt that the stiffness of her body was alleviating, and after a while, her body returned to normal.

"Fortunately, this hundred poison pills work." Ye Shuhua moved her legs and arms, and then ordered: "You go to find a rope to tie her up, and I'll go find Liji." ”

"Don't look for me." Li Zhen came from a dark alley, his clothes were not messy, and he was not hurt at all.

Ye Shuhua stepped forward and looked at it carefully before relieving her heart.

It seems that this time again, the danger has been saved.

She was relieved, but Li Zhen looked at the wounds on her arms and neck, and her eyes were full of distress.

hugged her cautiously and said, "It's all my fault, it's still too late." ”

"As long as you're okay." She leaned into his arms, her face full of happiness.

The two of you and me are nong, completely forgetting that there is someone around them.

Jiuyu was anxious and worried, not knowing where the real bamboo shadow had gone, and whether he was still alive, but he saw them here.

"That, Your Highness, Princess, you're almost done, we still have to find Bamboo Shadow."

In the Yunwei Palace, in the darkroom.

On the cross iron frame, the fake bamboo shadow was tied with iron chains, and Jiuyu took off the wooden hairpin on top of her head, and at the same time pulled out the silver needle that pierced the top of her head.

After a while, the other party slowly woke up.

The injuries on Ye Shuhua's body had already been bandaged, and she and Li Zhen sat opposite the fake bamboo shadow.

The human skin mask on the face of the fake bamboo shadow has long been pulled off, and Ye Shuhua doesn't know that face.

But guess she won't be the one who really wants to kill herself.

She will find out who is behind it, but for now, the first task is to find Bamboo Shadow.

She held the human skin mask in her hand and observed it carefully, "This kind of human skin mask that is extremely realistic and extremely close to the skin is only made by bamboo shadows. However, this mask is extremely vulnerable to damage when removed, so it needs to be replaced frequently. Come to think of it, Takekage must have been locked up by you! Say, where is she being held! ”

"Hmph, hahahaha, the second princess is smart, she can guess that I am not a real bamboo shadow, and I will be exposed by setting up a situation today, how could I not have thought that I would force the human skin mask to kill that despicable guard."

The fake bamboo shadow laughed unscrupulously and fearlessly.

The hand holding the human skin mask tightened, and the brow was lowered.

Ye Shuhua's heart couldn't help but tremble, she was really afraid that what the other party said was true.

But then she soothed her brows and said, "No way! Bamboo Shadow won't tell you how to make a human skin mask. No matter how you torture her, she won't say anything! You must have hidden her somewhere! ”

Ye Shuhua is very sure.

The fake bamboo shadow was still smiling, but when he heard this, a trace of panic crossed his eyes.

Ye Shuhua's eyes were like electricity, and naturally she didn't miss her panic.

Li Zhen on the side also saw it clearly, stretched out his hand to hold Ye Shuhua, gave her a reassuring look, and then ordered: "Jiuyu, give you an hour and let her speak, you can do it." ”

Jiuyu looked at the fake bamboo shadow tied to it and smiled gloomily.

"No problem, Your Highness, make sure to complete the task!"

Ye Shuhua and Li Zhen came out of the dark room, only to find that it was already dark outside.

After a simple dinner, Ye Shuhua sat in front of the window with a frown.

"What's wrong? Still thinking about Bamboo Shadow? ”

Ye Shuhua held one cheek with his palm, looked at the night outside the window, nodded and said: "It's all my fault, I didn't notice the change in Bamboo Shadow at all, if I had found out the problem early in the morning, maybe Bamboo Shadow would have been rescued a long time ago." It's not until now, her life and death are uncertain. ”

Li Zhen stepped forward, hugged her in his arms, and comforted: "You can't blame you, she looks so similar, no one can notice anything wrong." ”

"You say, Takekage must still be alive, right?" Ye Shuhua was scared at first.

"She must be alive." Li Zhen gave a positive answer and gave her hope.

Ye Shuhua also hoped that Zhuying was still alive.

Ji Cui, who was waiting on the side, also knew what was going on from the young lady and His Royal Highness.

She lowered her eyes in contemplation, then quietly exited the room.

Then he walked towards the house of the bamboo shadow with broken steps.

Once she got to the house, she began to rummage.

"Jicui, what are you doing?"

An abrupt voice sounded from behind her ears, startling Ji Cui, she covered her heart and looked back to see that it was a fallen leaf.

Glared at him impatiently, "You want to scare me to death, you get out of the way, don't block my light." ”

Falling leaves looked confused, raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, and asked, "What are you looking for?" I can help you find it. ”

"Oh, you don't care, you can't help me. Go, go, get out, go back to sleep. ”

Ji Cui suspected that the fallen leaves had been noisy in his ears, and pushed him out of the house in a daze.

It was only after she was able to calm down that she began to rummage again.

Thinking about something while looking for it.

An hour passed, and he couldn't ask about the whereabouts of the bamboo shadow, and Ye Shuhua couldn't sleep peacefully.

Li Zhen also waited with him.

Seeing Jiuyu coming out of the dark room, he just waited for him to speak.

saw her shaking her head in frustration: "No matter how I torture her, she will bite to death and say that Zhuying is dead." ”

"I didn't say a word else, and she fainted in pain at this point."

Ye Shuhua's heart was still tightened after all.

But she only pondered for a moment, and then said, "Then check it yourself!" Let's go to Bamboo Shadow's room first to find out if there are any clues. If she wants to change the human skin mask frequently, she must go and get a new one made of bamboo shadow. ”

"You can always find a clue!" Ye Shuhua said, and walked towards the bamboo shadow room.

But as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Ji Cui coming out of it.

When she saw Miss, she said happily: "Miss, the slave knows how to find out where Bamboo Shadow is held!" ”

"This is the night when I just came to Li Country and just lived in Yunwei Palace, Zhuying found the slave and said that there was something she hid in her house, and if she disappeared one day, let the slave and maid find her, and she could be found."

As she spoke, Ji Cui handed the things in her hand to the young lady.

Ye Shuhua took it and looked at it as a small bamboo tube with a cylindrical thumb width, and when she opened it, there was a kind of incense inside.

She leaned in and sniffed it, the scent was peculiar, but nothing special about it, just as she wondered.

Ji Cui pointed to the air not far away, "Miss, look at it." ”

There was a glowing purple light in the air, wisps of light.

Ye Shuhua twisted her eyebrows and thought for a moment, before she suddenly realized: "It's Misty Incense!" Bamboo Shadow applied a mystical incense on his body, and the mystical incense will not dissipate if it remains in the air or on objects, even if it is windy and rainy, it will stay in place. In the bamboo tube is a special incense powder, which will attach to the mystical incense as the fragrance wafts out, and finally appears purple. ”
