I just want to live a good life

At night, the following scene occurred near the Prince's Mansion: the Prince's concubine was running wildly in front, and two guards were following closely behind.

The two guards ran while begging, "My Lady Concubine, please don't run anymore!"

Su Nuan seemed to be deaf to the two people's pleas, not only that, she ran faster and faster.

Finally, the three of them arrived at the side door of the Prince's Mansion. Su Nuan seemed to see the light, took a deep breath, and sped up again.

Half a cup of tea later, when Su Nuan walked out of the toilet, her whole appearance had changed. Now, let alone running, she didn't even have the strength to take a step.

The two guards who had been chasing her were now petrified outside the toilet.

When Su Nuan saw the two of them, her face flushed. Thinking of how embarrassed she had just been, she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. But then she thought, this wasn't her fault. You know, she had been enduring for a long time in Fengyi Palace, and she had just encountered an assassin on the road and was scared. It was not easy for her to endure until now.

Everyone has times when they have to go to the bathroom urgently; she was just exaggerating!

Exhaling, Su Nuan slowly walked in front of the two guards, forced a smile to regain her confidence, and then asked, "What are your names?"

"Your subordinate Falcon."

"Your subordinate is Liefeng."

"Are you brothers?"

"Replying to the Concubine, we are colleagues."

Su Nuan said softly, "Then Falcon and Liefeng are just code names!"

Only members of special organizations have code names, which means that they are the special guards in the Prince's Mansion. For a moment, the words "secret guards", "blood droppers", and "plum blossom guards" kept circling in Su Nuan's mind.

"Are you the Crown Prince's secret guards?" Su Nuan asked tentatively.

Falcon replied, "Yes."

"Have you started following me a long time ago?"

Falcon replied: "Yes, we followed the Concubine to protect her."

The one who can mobilize the prince's secret guards is of course the prince himself, Su Nuan thought, and continued to ask: "Why did His Highness ask you to protect me? Did he know that I would be in danger?"

Falcon subconsciously looked at Liefeng, and seeing that the latter had no reaction, he replied: "Your Highness seems to have discovered that someone is harming the Concubine, so we are following you quietly to find out the suspicious person, and at the same time to protect your safety."

Su Nuan thought, protecting me without letting me know, is this a way to do good deeds without leaving a name? Mu Yunting shouldn't be so kind, judging from his disgust towards her, it seems more like he is treating her as bait.

However, no matter what, she was not killed by the assassin in the end, so she had to thank Mu Yunting for that. Not only should she thank Mu Yunting, but also the two people in front of her.

Thinking of this, Su Nuan clasped his fists towards the two of them, and then said seriously: "Thank you for saving me today!"

Falcon and Liefeng quickly clasped their fists and saluted.

"By the way, where are you guys when I'm usually in the Moonlight Residence?"

"Sometimes, it's on the tree in the backyard of Duiyueju."

Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, I understand. I will go there to find you tomorrow."

Under the two people's terrified gaze, Su Nuan dragged her legs and walked towards Duiyueju step by step.

The tense nerves completely relaxed, and the pain in the arm became more and more obvious. Su Nuan looked down and saw that the wound was still oozing blood, probably because the running just now accelerated the blood flow.

I guess he shed a lot of blood running all the way back.

Every step she took left a trail of blood. After taking a few steps, she felt her vision go dark and her head drooping.

"My Lady Concubine, are you okay?"

Falcon looked at the bloodstains winding on the ground and asked Su Nuan worriedly.

"I……"

Before Su Nuan could finish her sentence, her eyes went dark and she lost consciousness.

.

In a daze, Su Nuan found herself outside a room. In the dark night, an oil lamp reflected the two people in the room on the window, and one of them was still struggling violently.

Driven by curiosity, Su Nuan slowly approached the window, found a hole in the old window paper, and pasted her eyes on it.

In the room, a man in a gray gown had his back to the window. He was hanging another man on the beam. The hung man was swinging back and forth on the beam. Finally, his front swung to Su Nuan's side. A pair of blood-red eyes on his pale face looked at Su Nuan without warning.

Su Nuan screamed and woke up from her sleep. What she saw was the familiar bed curtains and the familiar room. Her heart finally settled down.

It turned out to be a nightmare, but it was too real, as if she had experienced it herself, and she had a sense of déjà vu about that scary face.

"Doctor Yao, the concubine has woken up."

A familiar voice brought Su Nuan's thoughts back to reality. The man called Doctor Yao by Chun Liu came to the bedside and nodded slightly to her.

"Your humble servant Yao Tai greets Concubine Xia."

Su Nuan replied, "Doctor Yao, there's no need to be polite."

"Concubine Xia, I will take your pulse now." As he spoke, Yao Tai's fingers gently placed on Su Nuan's wrist.

Su Nuan stared at the ceiling of the bed with empty eyes, and her thoughts unconsciously returned to the dream she had just had.

The face of the hanged man would not go away from her mind. At first, she was afraid to think about it, but when this face kept lingering in her mind, the memory of her original body, Xia Qingyan, seemed to be activated, and the face of a person in it overlapped with this face. That person was Cui Shaoyuan, who hanged himself because he could not bear the rumors and accusations.

What was going on? Did Cui Shaoyuan really commit suicide? Was it a dream or a memory hidden by Xia Qingyan?

"Your Highness, Concubine Xia is no longer in danger. I will write you a nourishing prescription. You will recover after taking two doses of the medicine."

Yao Tai's voice sounded again, but his words made Su Nuan slightly stunned.

She followed Yao Tai's gaze and saw Mu Yunting standing at the head of her bed with a cold face. She reluctantly sat up, hesitated for a moment and asked Mu Yunting: "Your Highness, has the assassin been caught?"

"Did you see the assassin's appearance clearly?" Mu Yunting asked instead of answering.

Asking her such a question probably meant that the assassin was not caught. Su Nuan replied with some disappointment: "The other party had his face covered, so I couldn't see. But I remember that man used a sword, was neither fat nor thin, and was about the same height as Steward Ding."

"Is that all?" Mu Yunting looked at Su Nuan with a gloomy expression.

Su Nuan was really scared today. First, she was assassinated, then she saw Li Liu's body, and just now she had that strange dream.

Now seeing Mu Yunting staring at her, she felt that he was like a ferocious monster and she shrank back unconsciously.

Mu Yunting frowned slightly, took a step forward and asked her: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Su Nuan thought about it carefully. She really had nothing to say about the assassin, so she said, "No more."

But as soon as she said this, she was stunned. She felt like she had seen this conversation before, as if Mu Yunting had asked her the same question before.

By the way, this is exactly what Mu Yunting asked before he left on the night he first traveled through time.
