Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Chapter 198 Assassination on a snowy night

Su Ying looked Cui Yi up and down. Seeing that she was a little embarrassed, Su Ying smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Where did you go just now?"

Cui Yi said uneasily: "My slave... I went to the kitchen just now. The lady said that the soup should be simmered over low heat, so I was asked to keep an eye on it in the kitchen."

Xia Yu on the side tested the dishes on the table one by one with a silver needle. Seeing that there was no change, she ordered the person who was testing the dishes to taste them one by one before nodding towards Su Ying.

After finishing the meal, Luoluo helped Su Ying back to the dormitory to rest. On the way, she suddenly asked: "Sister just asked Cui Yi where she went, but she suspects that Cui Yi put those pearls there intentionally?"

Su Ying touched her still flat belly and said, "The servants serving in the mansion are carefully selected by the prince and they understand their backgrounds. It's not that I don't trust you, but have you ever understood the origins of Cui Yi?"

Luoluo supported her and said while walking: "No, she said that her mother is dead and her father is a gambler. He was chased by debt collectors that day and was rescued when he met us. She was in the house. She is always rushing to work, for fear that I won't let her go. This is for no reason. Why would she harm her sister?"

Su Ying looked at the heavy snow falling outside with an unusually indifferent expression: "Perhaps...she originally appeared to get close to me through you. As for the reason, it's not that there is no reason, it's just that you don't know."

Luo Luo was shocked, looking at Su Ying with fear in her eyes: "What should sister do now?"

Su Ying patted her hand reassuringly: "Just do as usual, don't disturb her. Let's see what she wants to do?"

The night in the palace was as quiet as usual. The cold wind outside brought with it the white snow flying like catkins, instantly dyeing the entire courtyard into a sea of ​​white.

The gentle orange-red candlelight spread slowly in the room like water waves, and coupled with the charcoal fire burning in the stove, the temperature in the room did not feel cold at all.

Su Ying slept soundly, maybe because she was pregnant, she always went to bed early.

In a daze, she seemed to fall into a warm embrace. Su Ying hummed softly and found a comfortable position. Suddenly an idea flashed through her mind. She suddenly opened her eyes and pushed away the person next to her with a cold voice. Asked: "Who?"

"Ah Ying, are you going to murder your husband?" A familiar voice came to her ears, and with the faint candlelight, Su Ying could clearly see the longing face.

Su Ying shouted happily: "My lord, why are you back?"

Situ Jin kissed her gently on the forehead and said, "I miss you!"

After saying that, he put his hand on her belly and asked gently: "Has he been obedient recently?"

Su Ying's voice was soft: "It's good. It's not noisy. I just want to sleep all day long. Ever since Luo Luo came, she has always tried different ways to make food for me. Look, I've become fat."

Situ Jin touched her beautiful face and said, "You can have a good pregnancy at home. I brought Shen Yu back and asked him to stay by your side to protect you."

The night was silent, and the cold wind outside the window roared violently, bringing with it fine white snow that made the windows crackle.

No matter how loud it was outside, Situ Jin still heard an unusual sound in his sleep. In the dark night, his eyes looked like an eagle at the black figure, his hands clenched into fists, and he gently pushed Su Ying in. push.

At this moment, a sharp blade suddenly pierced the window curtain and stabbed towards the bed. Situ Jin hugged Su Ying and rolled inside, avoiding the sharp blade, and directed his fist towards the man's face.

The man could barely avoid it, obviously not expecting that there was another person on the bed.

Su Ying was awakened by this sudden movement, and then she saw clearly that the person in front of her was wearing black clothes and covering her face, and the sword in her hand was facing them with a cold light.

Seeing that there was someone else on the bed, the man in black didn't hesitate to fight and ran out hurriedly. However, as soon as she left the room, a sword stabbed her from top to bottom. Even though the man in black avoided it in time, her arm was still stabbed. A cut was made.

The man in black ran out along the corridor, with Shen Yu chasing after him, and he was about to catch up. At this time, around the corner, Luo Luo suddenly rushed out.

The man in black did not hesitate to take Luoluo into his hands. Shen Yu's expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly said: "Let her go!"

The man in black said coldly: "If you don't want her to die, then get out of the way and let me go!"

"How capable do you think you are? Even if I let you go, you still won't be able to escape from Prince Jin's Mansion." While the man in black was speaking, several more secret guards flew in from the darkness and pulled the man in black away. Surrounded by Luoluo.

Luoluo turned pale and shouted: "Cui Yi?"

The man in black paused and said coldly: "Shut up, I'm not a Cui Yi."

Luo Luo bravely said: "I know it was you. You were the one who sprinkled pearls on the floor during dinner tonight. You wanted to harm my sister. I wasn't asleep just now. I saw you change clothes and come out while I was sleeping. I followed you out, I knew you went to my sister’s room.”

The man in black didn't expect that she could guess his identity, so he stopped pretending: "I thought you were really stupid, but I didn't expect you to be a bit smart."

Luo Luo ignored her sarcasm and said, "You approached me just to enter the palace and harm your sister?"

Cui Yi's face darkened: "She and Prince Jin killed my master, and I want to avenge him!"

Cui Yi held Luo Luo and retreated step by step until she reached the wall before stopping. She looked at Shen Yu and said, "You... all get out of here..."

Shen Yu's face was extremely cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for my sister's sake, I should have killed you long ago..."

Cui Yi stared at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "What a pity, Shen Luoluo is your biggest weakness. If you don't want her to die, just be obedient and let me go! Otherwise..."

Before she finished speaking, the sword in her hand moved slowly towards Luo Luo's neck. This movement successfully threatened Shen Yu. He waved to the people behind him, and those people retreated quietly.

Shen Yu was still standing two meters away from Cui Yi and threw the sword in his hand: "I don't have any sharp weapons in my hand now. If you let her go, I will let you go."

Cui Yi stared at Shen Yu fiercely and said, "I'm afraid you forgot the dagger at your waist?"

Shen Yu slowly took out the dagger and was about to throw it when he heard Cui Yi say: "Wait a minute..."

As she spoke, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly: "I'm still worried. Why don't you use that dagger to destroy the meridians in your right hand, and I'll let her go."

Hearing this, Luoluo shouted anxiously: "Shen Yu, don't listen to her, you can't..."

Cui Yi said sarcastically: "Are you distressed? Do you know how distressed I was when you killed my master? I just want his hand today, which is an advantage for you."

Shen Yu slowly pulled out the dagger. The sharp dagger shone with an icy cold light. He smiled disdainfully: "Sister, don't be afraid, close your eyes."

Luoluo cried, shook her head, and said tremblingly: "No, I beg you!"

The sword in Cui Yi's hand was pushed forward, and the white snow fell down one after another. The white snow that fell on Luo's shoulders was dyed bright red before it melted, which looked particularly dazzling in the white sky.
