Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Chapter 228 Attacked

Ah Cai bowed.

"I'm sorry, Princess. I want to buy something at the jewelry store here. Please wait here for a while."

As he was about to leave, a sword was placed in front of him.

Leng Shuang's eyes were cold.

"Why don't you ask the Crown Princess for permission in advance when something happens, but instead make your own decisions here? Is this how you act like a slave?"

"I……"

"Tell me, what on earth are you going to do!"

Leng Shuang's sword pushed forward a little more, approaching his throat.

Ah Cai froze, his face full of panic: "No, slave... slave is really in trouble..."

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps on the roof.

Leng Shuang suddenly raised his head, and through the moonlight, he saw that the roof was filled with people at some unknown time.

She looked sharply and stabbed Ah Cai's leg with her sword.

"what!"

Ah Cai screamed and knelt on the ground.

Before he could react, Leng Shuang picked him up by the collar and jumped onto the carriage.

Leng Shuang stood on the carriage, stepped on Ah Cai with one foot, held the reins with one hand, and shouted loudly.

"drive!"

The carriage rushed out of the alley quickly.

The men in black on both sides of the roof immediately drew out their knives, quickly jumped down from the roof, and chased after Shen Ruoxi's carriage and slashed at it.

With a "swish" sound, a cold arrow fell down.

Stabbed a Nightman in the chest.

He fell to the ground.

The others were obviously startled for a moment, and then subconsciously raised their heads.

I saw another group of people appear in the darkness. They were standing on the roof not far away, pointing their bows and arrows at the assassins below, releasing arrow feathers to block their steps, preventing them from getting close to Shen Ruoxi's body. carriage.

Leng Shuang held a sword and fought with several men in black who rushed over. These people were very skilled, which surprised Leng Shuang. She left a few people behind and drove the carriage quickly under the cover of arrow feathers. Rushed out of the alley.

Once outside, she kicked Ah Cai to the ground and whistled.

A wave of guards also appeared outside, protecting Shen Ruoxi's carriage. This group of people was well-trained and agile. They were specially selected by Murong Heng to protect Shen Ruoxi.

The situation was reversed in an instant.

Shen Ruoxi opened the car curtain and glanced at Ah Cai who was thrown to the ground. Then she slowly turned her eyes and looked at the assassins who were like trapped animals in the alley. There was a faint coldness on her beautiful face.

Leng Shuang asked in a low voice.

"Princess, what should I do?"

"Just leave one alive, enough for questioning."

Shen Ruoxi spoke slowly.

Leng Shuang nodded, then rushed forward, brought someone back, and then motioned to the guards on the roof.

After receiving her instructions, the guards showed no mercy.

Soon, there was a burst of screams and fighting in the alley, and then it fell silent.

The night was thick, and the smell of blood in the alley floated in the air along with the wind and blew out of the alley.

Ah Cai, who was on the ground, felt his legs weaken and his whole face turned pale.

Shen Ruoxi didn't look at Ah Cai, but glanced at the assassin captured by Leng Shuang and asked.

"Who sent you here?"

The man snorted coldly and did not respond. He just stared at Shen Ruoxi with a pair of eyes.

Then blood suddenly overflowed from his mouth, soaking the black cloth covering his face.

He tilted and fell to the ground.

Leng Shuang was startled, pulled off the cloth on his face, and stretched out her hand to feel his breath.

"Princess, I have no energy left."

"He has poison in his mouth."

Shen Ruoxi frowned, looking at the darkened lips of the man in black, her voice was slightly cold.

Then he looked at Ah Cai next to him.

Ah Cai was so frightened by this sudden change that his face turned pale. When he met Shen Ruoxi's gaze, he shuddered and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"The Crown Princess...the slave...the slave doesn't know, the slave didn't expect it...the slave didn't arrange all this!"

He was incoherent and couldn't speak smoothly when he was nervous.

Taoye walked over and slapped him in the face.

"You have the guts to murder the Crown Princess, but don't have the guts to confess? Tell me, what is going on?!"

After being slapped, Ah Cai finally started speaking fluently.

"Princess, I didn't want to harm you. It was... someone told me that they wanted to see you, so I brought you here... I didn't expect that I would encounter such a thing!"

Taoye stared at him.

"Who wants to see the Crown Princess in secret?"

"Yes Yes……"

Ah Cai's eyes wandered and he hesitated.

Shen Ruoxi said: "It must be Ning Lanxue."

Ah Cai was startled, raised his head suddenly, met Shen Ruoxi's see-through eyes, and lowered his head again.

He looked horrified.

"Princess...you, how do you know?"

Shen Ruoxi didn't respond to him and just showed a sarcastic smile.

"It seems that I have to go to the fourth prince's house to bother you in the middle of the night."

……

Murong Yu was wearing a navy blue cloak, with his hands folded in his sleeves, waiting at the door of Prince Rong's residence.

It's a cold winter night, and the freezing cold air seems to freeze one's bones to pieces.

Murong Yu paced back and forth, feeling dissatisfied with Su Sheng for a long time, but his face did not dare to show anything.

After waiting for a long time, people from Prince Rong's Mansion finally came out.

"Fourth Prince, I've been waiting for a long time."

Butler Yan Shou came out with a respectful smile on his somewhat old face, but what he said made Murong Yu very angry.

"Fourth Prince, our prince went outside to catch the wind. Now his head hurts a little. It is not convenient to see guests. Please come back another day."

"But this is the third time I've come here today."

Murong Yu suppressed his anger and frowned slightly.

He came here early this morning and found out that Su Sheng hadn't gotten up yet.

When he came over at noon, he said that Su Sheng had something to do and asked him to come back later.

After he came over in the evening, he finally waited until Su Sheng was at home. He went in and reported for a long time. He almost froze to death waiting in this cold night, but was told that Su Sheng had a headache and would not see guests.

I really don’t take him seriously!

Yan Shou was still smiling.

"This is really unfortunate. If something happens to you, can you tell me about it? If the prince is free later, I will convey your message to the prince."

"no need."

Murong Yu's face darkened and he suppressed the displeasure in his heart: "What I want to say must be said to Prince Rong in person. Since he is not available, I will come back tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned around and got into the carriage. Jing Liu pulled the reins and walked back in the direction.

On the way, Jing Liu consoled him.

"Your Highness, don't be so angry. Prince Rong holds a high position and there are countless people who want to curry favor with him. Now that you are missing, it may really test your patience and see if you are sincere."

"Ah."

Murong Yu sneered and said in a low voice: "Test me? If Su Sheng humiliates me like this today, I will definitely make him regret it in the future!"

No matter how high and powerful Su Sheng is, he is still a relative, and he is an upright prince!

If it wasn't for bad luck that I was in trouble now, how could I be so servile to him!

Murong Yu was in a very bad mood along the way.

When he arrived in front of his house, as soon as he stepped out of the carriage, he saw a group of people arriving in front of his house and surrounding him.

Murong Yu frowned.

"Who is so bold and dares to gather in front of this prince's house!"
