After Su Qiuyue finished admiring the chrysanthemums, it was already noon. When she returned to Ziyun Garden, she saw Li'er looking inside.

Seeing Su Qiuyue come back, Li'er immediately came up to her and whispered in Su Qiuyue's ear: "Princess, I saw a stranger in the kitchen. This person seemed to have appeared on the day Mrs. Xiying was murdered."

Su Qiuyue was suddenly startled and said, "Li'er, hurry up and intercept that person. I'll come right after."

Li'er hummed and left in a hurry.

Su Qiuyue called Qian Hong and asked her to quickly invite the prince to the kitchen, then turned around and immediately went to support Li'er.

Outside the kitchen, Li'er saw the stranger was about to leave, and quickly blocked his path and asked with a smile: "Brother, what do you do? I'm very surprised when I see you!"

The strange man had a square face and a broad mouth, and was wearing coarse linen clothes. He smiled honestly and said, "Girl, I am a food delivery person. I don't come to the palace often, so the girl is surprised to see me."

"Are you delivering food? Where is Old Liu Tou?"

"Old Liu Tou is sick. I am his nephew. He specially asked me to deliver food."

"So that's it. No wonder I seem to have seen you before. You must have been to the palace before!"

There were beads of sweat on the strange man's forehead, but his tone was very natural: "Yes, when uncle Xiaoren is inconvenient, he will ask Xiaoren to deliver food. Girl, Xiaoren's family is still waiting for Xiaoren to go back for dinner. "Here, girl, give in."

"Don't be so anxious. Depending on the situation, you will have to come to deliver food in the future. We should get to know each other well, right?"

At this time, Su Qiuyue also arrived, and she immediately called several guards to catch the strange man.

"Who are you?" Su Qiuyue asked the man who was being held down by several guards.

The veins on the man's forehead were bulging, and he still had the same naive tone: "Why are you arresting me? I'm just a food delivery person."

Su Qiuyue walked up to the man and looked at him carefully. He had rough skin and looked like an ordinary person.

"Who sent you here? If you are willing to tell the truth, I will spare you." Su Qiuyue stared at the man in front of her with bright eyes.

"The villain is the nephew of Old Liu Tou. My uncle is sick, so he asked me to deliver food. If you don't believe me, please send someone to inquire."

The movement in the kitchen quickly attracted many people to watch, and everyone pointed at the man.

After a while, Chu Feng rushed over. When he saw the strange man being held captive by the guards, he frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Su Qiuyue stepped forward and explained: "Your Majesty, Xiying's personal maid Li'er said that she had seen this man on the day Xiying was killed, so I asked the guards to capture him for detailed questioning."

Chu Feng heard this and asked Li'er: "Do you really remember that this person came that day?"

Li'er nodded and said, "Back to the prince, Li'er did meet him that day."

At this time, the strange man shouted: "Girl, I have indeed been to the palace before, but I have never done anything bad. Please investigate!"

Chu Feng thought for a while and said: "Ah Cai, quickly go to Lao Liutou's house to investigate. If he is really a food delivery man, I cannot unjustly accuse him. If he is really a villain, I will not forgive him lightly." ”

"Yes," Ah Cai took the order and quickly retreated.

At this time, Xie Wanqing and Lin Weiyu heard there was movement here and rushed over together. Not long after, Qiu Tingting and Shen Xianyun arrived one after another.

The man was held down firmly and could not move. He scanned the crowd, his eyes resting on Su Qiuyue's face.

Su Qiuyue was a little embarrassed by the man, but she quickly adjusted her mind and looked at the man, humph, you better not let me find out that you are the bastard murderer, otherwise you will be able to look at me.

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and a flying knife flew towards the man's throat at high speed. Between the lightning and flint, a stone flew from the roof, hitting the flying knife just in time, and it was about to touch the man's throat. At that moment, the direction shifted, and the flying knife finally fell to the ground.

Everyone was so frightened by the sight in front of them that they held their breath, and the women even screamed. The scene was extremely chaotic.

The man turned pale with fright, but he broke free and struck Su Qiuyue with a palm.

Before Su Qiuyue could recover, she saw the man attacking her with a ferocious expression. She quickly dodged to avoid the fatal palm.

Seeing that the attack missed, the man attacked Su Qiuyue's face again. Su Qiuyue's three-legged cat kung fu was no match for the man's, and she was hit in the shoulder by the man.

Su Qiuyue felt a sharp pain in her left shoulder, but she had no time to think about it and dodge the man's attack.

Seeing the man escape and attack Su Qiuyue, Ye who was hiding on the eaves immediately flew down, stood in front of Su Qiuyue, and fought with the man.

Although the man was very skilled in martial arts, he was no match for Ye. After a few strikes, the man was defeated.

Chu Feng was far away from Su Qiuyue, so he could not rush to rescue her immediately. Seeing that Su Qiuyue was injured, he quickly helped Su Qiuyue.

"Are you okay? Does it hurt?"

Su Qiuyue said with a mournful face: "It hurts me so much, maybe the bones were dislocated!"

Chu Feng anxiously ordered the people around him: "Go and ask the imperial doctor from the palace to come over and show the princess's injuries. Go quickly."

"My subordinates, go immediately!" The guard who received the order did not dare to neglect, and went to ask for the imperial doctor as if on the fly.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Chu Feng discovered Ye's existence.

He supported Su Qiuyue and asked dissatisfiedly: "How dare you bring a man in!"

Su Qiuyue didn't expect that Chu Feng would still tell her this at this time.

"My lord, I didn't bring him here. Besides, if it weren't for him, I might not have saved my life."

"Then how did he get in?"

"He flew in by himself. If you don't believe me, ask him yourself!"

"Humph, stay away from him from now on!"

"I don't. He is my bodyguard. How can he protect me if I am far away from him? Xiaoye, you are right." Su Qiuyue said while looking at Ye.

Chu Feng felt sour. With such a good-looking man surrounding Su Qiuyue, there was no guarantee that Su Qiuyue would not be tempted.

But it's not necessarily that Su Qiuyue, a woman with a cold nature, doesn't even look down on herself, and she definitely doesn't like the man named Ye, Chu Feng comforted himself like this.

Chu Feng looked at Ye up and down, feeling increasingly uncomfortable: "I will protect you from now on!"

Su Qiuyue immediately refused: "Your Majesty, you are busy with things, I don't need your protection."

Chu Feng was choked and speechless, and glared at Su Qiuyue.

Ye walked over at this time, picked up the flying knife on the ground, and said lightly: "This knife is quenched with poison, and the blood will seal your throat!"

The man who was captured again had a ferocious face that became distorted, and he said viciously to the crowd: "We are in the same sect, and you actually want to kill people and silence them!"

As soon as the man spoke, the place fell silent.

what happened? Are there any accomplices of the man in the crowd?

Everyone became uneasy.
