"Come quickly! Catch the assassin!"

Someone was sitting on the soft couch and playing with the jade pendant in his hand. His expression was indifferent, but he could not forget to shout to the outside at the top of his lungs.

Less than half an hour.

In the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, where one could only hear the hissing of little insects at night, dazzling lights were put on again.

A group of maids and servants rushed to the courtyard, and everyone looked worriedly at the room with the door tightly closed.

"Princess, are you okay?"

The housekeeper raised his hand and knocked on the door, asking softly.

And the only answer to him was the empty night.

Just when everyone was extremely anxious and wanted to break in.

The door opened.

Shen Ling, with messy hair on her head, looked aggrieved and pitiful, "Where is my husband... there is a thief who wants to harm me."

Looking at the people in front of the door, he didn't see the black-clothed secret guard who always followed him.

A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Shen Ling raised her hand and pretended to wipe away her tears. "He ran into my husband's yard. Go quickly and don't let the thief hurt your husband."

The servants present swept towards the courtyard of Jingsi "menacingly".

A man who had just "escaped" had not had time to change out of his clothes that were pricked by gold needles when he was annoyed by the noisy sounds outside.

"What is this for?"

Jing Si hurriedly changed out of his clothes. With a gloomy face, Jing Si took everyone's faces into his eyes, and there was murderous intent in his eyes.

The people below were all frightened to death by this sight, and everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.

"Back to the Imperial Master, the princess said that there are assassins and they are coming towards your courtyard. She ordered us to come here and have a look to prevent the assassins from hurting the Imperial Master."

The old housekeeper came forward respectfully and spoke with some worry on his face.

After he finished speaking, the gloomy face wrinkled.

How could this woman be worried about his safety? She clearly wanted to let people come to cause trouble for her!

"There are no assassins here, you..."

Before he finished his cold words, his eyes saw the girl coming with a lantern in the dark night.

He squinted his eyes and saw a proud smile on that face.

"Husband, how are you?"

Shen Ling also noticed the man who was looking at him, and stepped forward faster, with some tears in his eyes.

The scars have become much lighter, and even in the dark of night, that face is pure and transcendent.

"I, I'm fine. I heard from the housekeeper that there was an assassin in the princess's courtyard. Were there any injuries?"

Jing Si seemed to have a guilty conscience. Ever since Shen Ling came closer, Jing Si had been acting condescendingly.

Taking this action into consideration, the satisfaction on his lips reappeared.

She leisurely took out a jade pendant from the bag and raised it with both hands, "Husband, Ling'er pulled this off from that man's clothes. Why don't we take it to report to the official!"

As soon as the word "report to the official" came out, Jing Si almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

He raised his hand to stroke his forehead, pursed his lips again, and then said slowly, "No need, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely catch the assassin."

As if she saw something, Shen Ling's eyes lit up and she stared at someone, "Since your husband is so powerful, why not help Ling'er monitor the situation in Cheng's house."

It wasn't in a questioning tone, Jing Si just felt as if he had been tricked by this little girl, and had no choice but to nod in resignation.

Watching the little figure jumping away in the courtyard, his eyes would always soften a bit, which he himself didn't even notice.

Cheng Mansion, in the side courtyard.

Qiao Anru was looking at everything in the courtyard with a look of disgust. Although there were many bead curtains and soft couches, they were always not as comfortable as in the main courtyard.

The boy who was sent to look for the doctor also hurried back.

"General, madam, the doctor is here."

The visitor knelt on the ground respectfully and replied. When he saw Cheng Beiruo waving to him with a gloomy face, he swallowed and ran away in despair.

After the doctor put the box in his hand, he began to examine the wounds left by the white snake on the two of them.

After leaving the medicine behind, he left in a hurry.

Cheng Beiruo was still immersed in the annoyance of "Shen Ling's Retribution", and the air pressure in the room was so breathless.

"Brother Luo, An'er will give you some medicine."

Picking up the ointment from the table, Qiao Anru carefully lifted Cheng Beiruo's bitten thigh and applied the ointment gently.

The gleam of spring light revealed by bending down happened to enter Cheng Beiruo's eyes.

Before the medicine is applied, I hear the sound of "ba la", "ba la".

Drops of crystal clear tears fell on Cheng Beiruan's legs.

"Brother Luo...Why is An'er's life so miserable? He obviously didn't do anything, but..."

Qiao An looked like a little ant crawling around in Cheng Beiruo's heart.

The atmosphere seemed to be just right. The red eyes on her cheeks made Cheng Beiruo's heart tremble. He raised his hand to hook her forehead and was about to kiss her.

"Clang!"

Just heard a loud noise in my ears.

A sharp sword that could reflect the face was inserted into the wooden table.

"ah--"

Qiao Anru collapsed on the ground in shock, holding her head tightly with both hands.

His legs suddenly fell to the ground, and Cheng Bei'an felt his whole body twitching! Anger welled up in his heart!

"Who! Who is it! Come out! Ah!"

Pulling out the long sword, he slashed everywhere like a man possessed. Cheng Beiruo's face became so gloomy that Qiao Anru, who was on the ground beside him, was so frightened that his eyes widened and he dared not make a sound.

Jing Si appeared in the room dressed in black, exuding the aura of a king, looking at the two of them disdainfully with his cold eyes.

"You! It's you!"

Completely losing the support of his mind, he roared and stabbed the man with his sword!

Jing Si didn't panic and raised his big hand.

Another man in black suddenly appeared in the room, holding a sharp sword and swooping down steadily in the direction of Qiao Anru.

"ah--"

The screams echoed throughout the room again.

Qiao Anru kept retreating until her body hit the cabinet, unable to retreat!

Cheng Beiruo, who was charging straight at him, was also startled by the shout. He gritted his teeth and turned his head to block the sword.

"Who are you? Why did you come to my Cheng Mansion to commit murder? Did you do what happened before?"

Blocking the frightened Qiao Anru behind him, Cheng Beiruo wore his hair in a bun and his face was full of anger!

However, the man with extraordinary temperament did not speak, and a snow-white jade bottle appeared in his hand.

"say something--"

Cheng Beiruo's words were completely finished when he felt a black shadow flash across his eyes.

quick!

Scary fast!

There was a sudden feeling in my heart, but my hands had not yet caught up with my movements.

The jade bottle shattered into pieces in the man's hands, waiting for Cheng Beiruo to regain his senses.

There is only medicine powder flying like snow all over the sky!

The people in the house have disappeared.
