He continued to wipe Su Qingci's body. "It could be someone sent by Gao Jiarong to monitor me, or it could be someone in the court who is dissatisfied with me."

Seeing Su Qingci's face as if facing a great enemy, Lu Huan comforted him softly, "I'm here, don't be afraid."

At this time, Su Qingci also remembered the man in black whom he saw tonight. Wasn’t he on the roof of someone else’s house at that time?

After seeing her later, I followed her for a while.

Could it be possible that it has something to do with that person?

Lu Huan carried her to the bed, covered her with a blanket, and then went to the closet to get a set of her underwear.

"I may have to go out for a while, you go to sleep first, no need to wait for me."

Su Qingci let him put on her underwear, "Where are you going?"

"We have secret guards arranged by me around our courtyard, but this person was able to avoid their eyes and ears and climb onto our roof quietly and silently. It is obvious that his strength is extraordinary." Lu Huan analyzed in a serious tone.

"So I have to go out and explore it myself to see if I can find anything," he continued.

"If we can't find any trace of that person, I will have to tell them to be more vigilant."

Su Qingci pulled his sleeve and said, "I have something to tell you."

Lu Huan: "Wait until I come back, or tell me tomorrow...tomorrow."

"I'll go check it out first. If I can catch him, I won't have to worry about him later."

Su Qingci let go: "Okay."

Anyway, it was just a quick glance, and it might not be the man in black, Su Qingci thought.

"Be careful and come back soon."

"it is good."

Lu Huan tucked the corner of the quilt in for her and said, "Don't worry, I'll ask Zitan to watch outside. Just go to sleep and nothing will happen."

Su Qingci nodded, "Okay."

……

Su Qingci looked at the top of the tent in confusion, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind. She didn't know why, but she always had a bad feeling in her heart.

She hadn't slept well for several days and had gone back to the Prime Minister's Residence today. She was extremely tired and fell into a deep sleep not long after.

Su Qingci slept particularly soundly, as if immersed in a sweet dream.

In her sleep, she vaguely felt Lu Huan return to the room, gently stroking her cheeks and the red mole at the corner of her eyes.

"Hmm..." She subconsciously turned over and hugged the troublesome big hand tightly in her arms.

Although she was too sleepy to open her eyes, she still asked drowsily, "Are you back?"

Time passed minute by minute, and finally a low and gentle response came: "Yeah."

However, because he was too tired, Su Qingci did not notice anything unusual.

The speaker's voice seemed slightly different from Lu Huan's, and the temperature of the palm...also changed slightly.

Lu Huan's body always had a hint of coolness, perhaps because it was the turn of summer and autumn, and the night was still a little stuffy.

So she got used to falling asleep next to Lu Huan at night, with his arms around her chest, enjoying the unique coolness and tranquility.

It was not until the next morning, when Lu Huan returned from outside exhausted, that Su Qingci suddenly recalled what happened last night.

She suddenly realized - the arm she had hugged last night seemed to be warm!

This discovery made her feel puzzled and at the same time inexplicably uneasy.

What happened? Did I sleep too long or remember it wrong?

Su Qingci took off Lu Huan's dirty robe and asked, "Did you just come back?"

"Yes."

Su Qingci was speechless for a moment, his mind in a mess.

She clearly remembered that Lu Huan came back after she fell asleep.

But at this time Lu Huan said that he had just returned.

Lu Huan said tiredly, "We have been tracking for a whole night, but we have gained nothing."

Su Qingci felt uneasy and anxious. "Didn't you say that we have secret guards in our courtyard? Didn't they find any trace of the assassin?"

Lu Huan looked into the distance silently, and after a long while he slowly spoke, "All the secret guards I deployed were drugged by the other party..."

"All?" Su Qingci opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Correct."

"And my secret guards didn't notice anything unusual beforehand."

"This can only mean that the other party is either fully aware of the situation in our house, or he is as light as a swallow and has extremely high attainments in light martial arts, and can move freely on the beams of the house at night without being noticed."

"But the problem is, I don't know where these people come from."

You are good at Qinggong, but you don’t attract attention?

Speaking of this, Su Qingci couldn't help but recall the man in black whom he saw last night.

At that time, the man was standing quietly on the roof of another house, overlooking the entire Shangjing City from above.

When he followed her movements, following her closely like a ghost, his movements were as light and nimble as a flying swallow.

Not only that, from the look in that man's eyes, Su Qingci could clearly feel that he was definitely not an ordinary person.

It seems that he is probably also a high-level secret guard who has undergone rigorous training?

"I have already told my father about this matter. We still need to consider it carefully." Lu Huan said.

"I think they are coming for me. They have already found out everything about the mansion. Tomorrow, I will take you to a farm outside the city to live for a while and hide away."

Su Qingci thought for a moment and said, "Since they are here for you, it may not be convenient for me to go to the manor under your name."

"Why don't you go to the manor under my name? It's the dowry my mother gave me. It's been there forever. It's a good place for us to live."

Lu Huan smiled slightly, and gently kissed the bright red mole at the corner of her eye, and said softly: "Okay, then I'll take a rest first."

"Okay, I'll wake you up when lunch is ready."

......

Originally, Su Qingci wanted to tell Lu Huan about the man in black that she saw last night, but Lu Huan was in a hurry to go out to investigate, so she didn't have time to say it.

Lu Huan did not come home all night and only returned home this morning. He looked very tired at that time. She was afraid that if she told him what happened, it would make him too upset and disturb his rest.

Su Qingci was also confused and kept wondering who it was. She didn't think she had offended anyone, so it shouldn't be the man in black.

Lu Huan said that those who were eyeing them covetously either knew the situation in the mansion very well.

Or he may have extraordinary martial arts skills that allow him to avoid the sight of the guards hiding in the dark without being noticed.

So... which one will it be?

Su Qingci pondered for a long time, and still felt that it was unlikely that this was done by the man in black last night.

Although their eyes met for a moment at that time, she did not have any hatred against the other party, and she really couldn't understand why the other party would specifically target her and follow her.

What's more, whether the fact that someone appeared by her bed last night was true or not is still debatable. Maybe she just had a sleep disorder and had an absurd dream.

If he was really coming for her, why did he make such a big noise, causing Lu Huan to leave, but only touched her cheek and teardrop mole?

The more Su Qingci thought about it, the more she felt that something was fishy. This definitely didn't seem like an act directed at her.

Perhaps, the other party’s real target should be Lu Huan.

After all, Lu Huan himself said that these things were most likely the trouble caused by the enemies he made in the officialdom.

It seems that the answer is already apparent...
