The Hydra image is sharp-eyed and comprehensive.

Ning Rongzhang was shocked. It was this thing again.

There seemed to be a strong wind passing by his ears, and Ning Rongzhang subconsciously dodged. He heard a whimper behind him, and the poison arrow instantly pierced into the neck of the man in black.

The force was so great that the neck was pierced and the person died.

"Asan! Go after him!"

The assassin certainly couldn't run far, but the fact that his movements were detected so quickly showed that there must be some capable person behind this.

Nine head sashimi...

When he was young, Ning Rongzhang vaguely remembered that after his father was enfeoffed to the Western Frontier, there was a lot of trouble for a while, but then it gradually subsided. At this time, it appeared again...

It must be directed at him.

Ning Rongzhang put his fingers on the man's throat, but he was already dead. In less than a moment, the poison on the arrow had already turned his lips black, which was a double insurance mechanism.

In Suhua Yueshuang's courtyard, Ning Rongzhang sat alone in the middle of the courtyard. Ah San came back after a while and said with a fist, "Master, the person ran away."

As if it was within his expectations, Ning Rongzhang shook his head and glanced at the dark hut, "Get rid of the body."

"Yes."

-

There was no peace in Fulanxuan tonight. Qingzhu Hongye was busy taking care of Ji Mengshu who had a high fever. Until midnight, Ning Er heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the fever was gradually subsiding.

"That's good..."

Qingzhu came out of the bedroom tiredly, and seeing Fengshu's people still outside, he couldn't help but joked, "Hey - I say, your master hurriedly stuffed you here, doesn't that mean he doesn't want you anymore?"

Ning Er's eyes widened when he heard this and he retorted, "Impossible! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Oh, oh, it's just a few words, why are you so angry?" Qingzhu sat on the steps outside the palace, looking at the clear moonlight, supporting his chin with both hands, and then joked, "Then why else would I leave you here alone?"

Ning Er stood under the tree holding his sword, turning his back and not wanting to look at her. He felt aggrieved in his heart that the prince had sent him here for a mission, and it was definitely not what the little girl said.

"Ning Er, you said that we in the Ji Mansion are not short of guards. Besides, have you forgotten? The young lady has a skilled man in the farm outside the city. I wonder if his injury has healed?"

Ning Er turned around and was about to refute, but he saw Hongye coming out of the hall. It was obvious that she had heard what Qingzhu said, "What man? What about recuperation?"

Among the four, only Hongye was unaware. Qingzhu scratched her head in embarrassment, "Sister Hongye, when we left the palace that day, the girl went to the Colosseum and brought back a severely injured slave, and kept him in the suburbs."

Hongye's eyes widened as she glanced at Qingzhu, then looked at Ning Er, "Okay, you two, you actually hid this from me?"

Qingzhu quickly begged for mercy, "Sister Hongye, it was the girl who told us not to tell..." It's not like they were hiding it on purpose.

"Okay, keep your voice down, the girl just fell asleep." Hongye sat down next to Qingzhu, admiring the moonlight as bright as water. "The girl has her own ideas and plans. Qingzhu, do you feel that the girl has changed?"

"What's the difference?"

Hongye frowned and thought deeply, "I can't explain it clearly, but the girl is still a girl, but I feel that something is different..."

Ning Er curled his lips, "I think you choked and became stupid in the water."

"How dare you say that? If you hadn't taken us to that kind of place, how could our girl have fallen into the water? And how could she have a high fever now?" Hongye glared at him. Why did she follow him so trustingly in the first place?

Speaking of the fire in the inn, Ning Er was worried. He didn't know whether it was an accident or someone did it on purpose. If someone did it on purpose, he didn't know if the prince had enough people around him. Ning Er kicked the stones on the road in the pavilion, feeling depressed, extremely depressed.

Qingzhu agreed, "Indeed, the girl is a model of a noble lady from an aristocratic family. How could she go to a place like the Colosseum? Moreover, even if the girl doesn't like Your Majesty, she will get along well with Your Majesty because of the wishes of the Ji family and the Queen Mother, and will not feel bad for Concubine Liu in the palace." Qingzhu smiled and narrowed her eyes. "However, I still like girls like this. They feel more like human beings. People have seven emotions and six desires, joy and sorrow. Sister Hongye, what do you think?"

Hongye shook her head, "As long as the girl is happy, it's worth it."

The next morning.

The quiet Fulanxuan began to become lively. Jiang's mother went to Ji Mengshu's place without having breakfast, and the latter was still sleeping.

Qingzhu was guarding the outer hall. Hearing the noise outside, he had to come out to see, "Madam?"

"Is Shu'er feeling better?" Jiang's mother looked a little haggard. "I was worried about you, so I came to see you."

"Don't worry, madam. The girl's fever has subsided." Qingzhu made tea and poured water. Jiang's mother went straight to the bedroom. Looking at Ji Mengshu's peaceful sleeping face, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm glad that everyone is okay. I heard that there was a guard who came back with you yesterday?" Mother Jiang asked slowly while sitting in the outer hall.

Qingzhu replied, "Madam, the man saw us fall into the water yesterday and fished us out. When the young lady asked, she found out that the man had gone nowhere, so she asked him to be her bodyguard. After two trips, he followed us back."

Fortunately, they had colluded with each other in advance, otherwise, they really didn't know how to answer the lady's question. Fortunately, Jiang's mother didn't mean to delve into it. She drank a bowl of tea in the house and went back.

Qingzhu muttered to himself, "Madam may look strict, but in fact, she loves her daughter like a mother."

"What are you mumbling about?" Hongye brought a basin of clean water and looked at Qingzhu who was in a daze.

"Oh, it's nothing, nothing. Madam just came over to see the girl and asked about Ning Er."

Hongye asked nervously, "You didn't let it slip, did you?"

"Sister Hongye, after all, I have been with the girl for so many years, how could I let something as trivial as this slip out?"

Hongye nodded, "That's good. After all, a girl's reputation is more important than anything else. Moreover, our girl has a special status. If people find out that she has a close relationship with a man outside her family, it will inevitably lead to gossip."

"I know, I know."

Ji Mengshu woke up with a dry mouth and a smell of medicine on his breath. "Red leaves? Green bamboo?"

The girl is awake? The two were startled and hurried to the house. Qingzhu came closer with tea and said, "The girl is finally awake."

After drinking the tea, Ji Mengshu opened his clear eyes and asked, "Did I have a fever last night?"

"The girl is indeed very good at predicting things." Qingzhu praised.

Hongye continued, "The girl was weak and still had a high fever after falling into the water, but fortunately the fever has subsided. Is the girl feeling better now?"

Ji Mengshu nodded, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Don't alarm mother."
