Zhu Yu was taken aback when she saw this, and when she saw Shen Lingyuan running away, she also took two steps forward, but Shen Lingyuan was too fast for her to keep up, so she could only shout with all her strength, "Anyway, please Let her live!"

Although Shen Lingyuan reacted quickly, Naihe was not very familiar with the furnishings in the Prince's Mansion. When he passed a garden, he completely lost sight of that person.

Although the shadow is agile, it looks very thin. Shen Lingyuan can roughly confirm that it should be a woman. If it is an ordinary maid, it would be fine, but you may not be able to hear anything from such a long distance. You can guess the speed of the woman's escape just now. Nine out of ten he is someone who knows martial arts.

Shen Lingyuan's face was not very good-looking, he did not agree to meet here from the beginning, if Shen Lingyuan knew in advance that Concubine Hui wanted to spare Han Yue's life, he would never come.

Could it be that there is an organization similar to Yelin around the prince?

Things seem to be getting tricky.

But there is also good news, that is, the other exit of this garden is a long distance from the entrance, so that person is definitely still hiding in a corner of this garden, waiting for an opportunity.

Shen Lingyuan controlled his movements, making the sound from his feet as quiet as possible, and then moved slowly step by step, because now the whole garden is quiet, even the sound of the wind blowing can be heard, only a piece of The aroma of apricot blossoms is the only disturbance.

Although the sense of smell is limited, as long as the woman dares to attack Shen Lingyuan, with the strong hearing of young people, she can definitely catch it in an instant and fight back.

Although Shen Lingyuan didn't know the exact location of this place, judging by the location of the corner where he and Zhu Yu were talking, Shen Lingyuan could also infer that there were probably no people in this garden, so he didn't need to think about it for the time being. other.

But it can't be delayed for too long. Although Zhu Yu is used as a cover, it's good to catch people. If they don't catch people, it is very likely that they will be exposed together with Concubine Hui's master and servant.

Time passed by every minute and every second. It has to be said that this person hides very well. Shen Lingyuan's patience is almost exhausted. After thinking about it, he slowly put away his defensive posture, and then said to the empty tunnel.

"Girl, I know you're listening. I want you to know that I'm not the one who broke into the Prince's Mansion without permission. I'm the commander of the City Patrol Division. I'm here to pray for the grandson. You should have some reasons for this." Even if you haven't heard of it, please show up and give Lu a chance to explain."

After Shen Lingyuan finished speaking, the only response to him was his own echo, and there was still silence. The fragrance of osmanthus was still strong, which made Shen Lingyuan, who was not interested in the fragrance of flowers, feel dizzy for a moment and moved slowly.

At this moment, he missed the clear fragrance of medicine around Shen Yanqing.

At this brief moment of distraction, a soft shout came from behind Shen Lingyuan, and Shen Lingyuan immediately squatted down to dodge. But it is also really dizzy, so I can only dodge the attack at the next best.

However, what Shen Lingyuan didn't expect was that the moment he lowered his head, he saw blood stains on the ground.

Shen Lingyuan opened his mouth in surprise, he didn't expect that this person had to choose an opportunity to escape because he was injured, not because he wanted to wait for reinforcements to hide.

In this way, it must not be someone from the Prince's Mansion, maybe some gangster or a petty thief, this is exactly what his duty as the City Patrol Officer is, if he is caught and handed over to the Prince, it will save Cao Shun's suspicion.

Shen Lingyuan lost his scruples, and after dodging the woman's punch again, he swung his right leg backwards with his left foot as the axis, and the woman leaped back sharply to avoid the blow.

However, Shen Lingyuan didn't give her a chance to escape any more, and stepped on the ground to borrow strength, and struck out with a heavy punch. The black veil on the woman's face was lifted by the wind of the fist, but Shen Lingyuan was stunned for a moment, and even made a move to withdraw her strength. .

It was also because of this that the woman was given an opportunity. She knew that she was in a state that could not take the punch forcefully, so she bent her left arm, and that slender arm instantly softened into soft silk, wrapping around Shen Lingyuan's body. The arm not only deftly defuses the force, but also uses Shen Lingyuan's strong arm to wrap around behind him and jump down from the steps.

Shen Lingyuan turned around in an instant, and the woman looked back at him at this moment. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Shen Lingyuan was able to confirm that it wasn't his dazzled just now.

The woman had a pair of eyes that he was very familiar with.

The two just stared at each other silently, as if thousands of years had passed, until the sound of messy footsteps came from outside the garden, the two of them made a move, a flash of light flew out of the woman's hand, and after a few In an instant, it disappeared from view.

Shen Lingyuan didn't chase anymore, but pinched the glowing thing between his fingers accurately. He took a closer look, and found that it was a sharp silver needle that could easily be overlooked if the woman didn't look carefully. Just use this thing to attack him, even Shen Lingyuan can hardly dodge it.

Shen Lingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and twisted the body of the needle with his index finger and thumb, which made him feel more familiar.

"Commander Lu!"

The moment Shen Lingyuan heard Cao Shun's call, he pinned the silver needle to the hem of his sleeve, but he didn't do anything to deal with the bloodstains on the ground.

When Cao Shun rushed to his side, he was very surprised and said, "Commander, what's going on here? Why are you here?"

Shen Lingyuan pretended to be solemn: "After Eunuch Cao left, Lu found a dark shadow stalking around Meiyuan, so he had to find out. He was injured by me and fled here. Since the terrain is not familiar, so If he is not caught, please Eunuch Cao immediately notify the prince and gather all the soldiers to search!"

However, Cao Shun didn't seem to agree with Shen Lingyuan's words, his eyeballs rolled around several times quickly, his complexion was visible to the naked eye, but he still didn't give Shen Lingyuan an answer.

It seems that this person also knows something, but now is not the time to startle the snake, the right way is to cover Concubine Hui's master and servant to escape.

So Shen Lingyuan immediately took a step forward, pulled Cao Shun's skirt, and said angrily, "Does my father-in-law think I'm lying? If that thief did something to the prince or other nobles, you will be able to bear the responsibility for the crime at that time?"

Cao Shun's face turned pale from his rude action, he waved his hands quickly, and when Shen Lingyuan let go, he knelt on the ground limply, "Yes, this servant will go to inform His Highness and summon the government soldiers to search. "

Shen Lingyuan nodded, "It's inconvenient for me to act in the inner courtyard now, so please ask my father-in-law to bring me to meet the prince. The thief has been injured by me, and he will not be able to escape."

Cao Shun obviously had something in his heart, and although he responded, he was reluctant to move. He left the small garden and entered the front yard under Shen Lingyuan's push and push.

Naturally, the matter of praying for the child was in vain. After Shen Lingyuan met the crown prince and explained the situation, Rong Cong was much more experienced than Cao Shun. Searched all the top and bottom of the mansion, but naturally no one was found.

Shen Lingyuan felt very guilty about this, and immediately transferred the city inspector to guard around the prince's mansion closely, until he caught a little thief who couldn't do light work at all.

As for the woman in black——

On the night when the City Patrol Division withdrew its defenses, in the Prince's Mansion.

As soon as the crown princess fell asleep, Rong Cong quietly left the Meiyuan. He didn't bring a single attendant. He walked quickly through the garden where Shen Lingyuan was fighting with an unknown woman, and arrived at a remote courtyard alone. There were still candles burning in the house. Only then did Rong Cong slow down, pushed the door open and entered the room.

Sitting in the pavilion was a woman with a pale complexion, holding a not-so-exquisite lucky bag in both hands, leaning on the soft pillow alone, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes staring at the red candle burning on the desk in a daze, even someone entering this No one was found in the house.

It wasn't until Rong Cong opened the pearl curtain on the circular wooden frame door, and the strings of pearls collided with each other making a froze sound, that the woman turned around.

She seemed to jump when she saw the man coming, she lifted the quilt and was about to get down to salute, Rong Cong quickly stepped forward and grabbed her arm, looking at her bandaged shoulder with distressed eyes.

"There is no need to be polite between you and me. Lie down quickly. Only those who have been busy dealing with city inspectors these days have time to accompany you. Tell Gu what's going on."

The woman lowered her eyes when she heard the words, with a look of self-reproach, she bit her lips and said: "Yuan'er has caused trouble for His Highness, I thought that there would be no guests coming to the inner courtyard that day, so I want to take advantage of it." When there were few people, I quietly went to pray for my grandson, but I didn’t expect to meet that strange person. Without a word, he just slapped me."

The prince sighed, "Did you wear all black at that time, and you were still walking along the path, and even sneaking around?"

The woman blinked: "Although it sounds weird, it seems to be so."

The prince laughed angrily at her: "He is not a weirdo, but a newly appointed commander. You are sneaky in front of him. He thought you were a thief, so he chased you, but you can still escape from him. , Gu Cai really has to thank God."

"I hid on the osmanthus tree in the small garden. He didn't find me and was stopped by Eunuch Cao." The woman explained, and then she looked suspicious, "But he is a man, why did he come to the inner courtyard?"

The prince was stunned for a moment, and looked away: "The reason for this is too complicated, I will tell you about it later, you should take good care of your injuries first."

The woman lowered her head again, she could see the disappointment, "Okay. Is Your Highness leaving again?" As she spoke, she squeezed the lucky bag in her hand.

"Gu said, you don't have to do this."

Rong Cong saw the woman's small movements, he said, and took the lucky bag from the woman's hand, "Let me give this to Rong Jin for you."

"Really?"

The woman said in surprise, and then showed a bright smile to Rong Cong.

Rong Cong nodded and patted her hand, "Really, and Gu will stay with you tonight, and I want to discuss something with you by the way."

The woman happily moved a body inside, raised her eyes and said, "Please speak, Your Highness."

Rong Cong obediently sat next to her, grabbed the woman's slender waist, and let her put her head on his shoulder, "I was still hesitating, afraid that your body would be too much to go to Mucheng with me, but after today's incident I figured it out, the biggest danger is that you are not by Gu's side. So, how about packing up tomorrow and going to autumn hunting with Gu in seven days' time?"

The woman raised her head timidly: "But am I afraid of hindering Your Highness?"

The prince rubbed her hair, "No, you can really make Gu feel at ease."

The woman buried her head in the prince's chest shyly, and said slowly, "Okay."

And what Rong Cong never saw, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
