The target of the assassination is the fox

The sharp blade rests firmly on my neck, only an inch away from the flesh.I lowered my eyes and saw that it turned out to be the underworld wind that I hid next to my body, and my heart suddenly turned cold.And seeing the person holding the sword clearly behind him, it was heart-wrenching.

How did she get here? !

"Dafang, a sword has no eyes, don't hurt your own people." I stiffened and laughed.

Dafang looked at me expressionlessly, and with a slight twist of her wrist, the blade surface was attached to the soft flesh of my jaw, chilling my bones.I couldn't help but think of the weird scene where she was sharpening her sword under the moon as if she was bewildered that night at the post station.

So he didn't dare to make a sound, and his eyes sneaked around, but he was startled when he saw it.Only then did I realize that the other side of the room had already been covered with brocade carpets, carved screens, and even an incense burner was lit.Two young maids with raw and tender faces were holding water basins and stood aside with their heads bowed.Without even thinking about it, he knew who the vaguely dressed figure was at the other end of the screen.

Oh my god... I suddenly panicked, I was so sleepy that I didn't even notice when someone came in!However, when these people travel through the deep mountains and old forests to find their masters, do they want to bring carpets, screens and incense burners so extravagant and exaggerated? !

And what is the situation now?Dafang handed over my sword and pretended to wipe my neck at any time. Could it be that the princess already knows my identity?Then wouldn't I be very dangerous... No, no, maybe there is still room for maneuver.

Looking at the coat covering my body, I calmed down and began to think about countermeasures.

Then there was a noise.The Princess Shi Shiran, who had finished washing and dressing, came out from behind the screen, with a beautiful appearance and a radiant face...with a refreshed face.I already felt a little sticky on my body, and I felt even more uncomfortable, as if thousands of ants were biting me.

Ah, I really want to take a bath, I really want to change clothes, I really want to burn incense, I really want to apply Huayu ointment to my face...

"Dafang." The princess raised her chin slightly and said calmly, "You guys go out first."

Dafang took a deep look at me, and at the same time she retracted her sword, she neatly tapped a few acupuncture points on me to seal my hands and feet, and then went out with two tender little maids.The moment the door opened and closed, I was surprised to see the man with the big knife who was tied up shamelessly and his accomplices lying under the tree in the distance!

I was sure I read it right, and my heart thumped.When I turned my head to look at the princess who was walking towards me gracefully step by step, I immediately felt a kind of despair that was imminent.

What to do, I can't move my hands and feet after being tapped, and I have no power to resist!

Ah, I always feel that the smile on the princess's face is so dangerous, she, what does she want to do to me? !I was so anxious that I broke out in a cold sweat.

In this short period of time, I have suffered from mental torture, and I have already begun to imagine the scene where the princess will take out a small dagger and stab me at a later time... It is only reasonable to kill people to kill people and vent their anger.

"Tell me, what else are you hiding from me?" When I was in a mess, the princess squatted in front of me and asked kindly.

I wanted to cry when I heard it.Princess, don't scare me. How much do you know? I don't know what else I can hide from you now.

"No more!" I shook my head like a rattle without bones, and then said affectionately: "Actually, the slaves didn't hide it on purpose, but because they had provoked many enemies before, even after entering the palace, they never dared to reveal it." Martial arts, I'm afraid of attracting attention. But no matter what, the servant is absolutely loyal to you, the princess! For the sake of the princess, the servant can even give up his life!"

I was eloquent, but the princess was unmoved, she just stared at me with a pair of beautiful eyes, with a smile that was not a smile.

...It seems that the drama of deep love between master and servant cannot continue.I shut my mouth in embarrassment and guilt, and when I quieted down, I felt something was wrong.

There is indeed something wrong with the face, itchy, weird... Oh no, my mask!

The time limit for the medicine treatment has passed, and with the sweat and rain last night and the rich facial movements just now, the mask is wrinkled and loose!So... the princess knows that I've changed my face!

As if to confirm what I thought, the princess reached out and touched my face directly, all the way to the back of the ear, and rubbed it carefully.Then, the mask was torn off.I looked at her tragically, but she looked at me blankly.

Huh, Leng Leng?What's wrong, princess, why did she have such an expression when she saw my true face?Could it be that she was still amazed by my beauty?

I am very surprised.It can't be... She is not a man, how could she be fascinated by it.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly pinched my chin and said in a deep voice, "Say, who are you and why are you approaching me?!"

The Princess used all her strength to pinch my chin so painfully, but her eyes were unprecedentedly cruel and furious, and the expression on her face was even more frighteningly cold.At this moment, I really felt the terrifying killing intent, and I was terrified.

How can you change your face when you change your face? Where did that weak and pleasant princess go last night!

I endured the pain, and quickly came up with the excuse I had rehearsed in my heart: "I am just a nobody in the Jianghu. I was entrusted by my benefactor to participate in the competition and enter the palace. The purpose is to stay by your side to protect and take good care of you... As for the identity of the benefactor, I have sworn not to reveal the slightest bit."

The princess narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at me for a long time, with the murderous intent in her eyes undiminished.

"If you don't believe me, just kill me." I calmed down and looked into her eyes stubbornly, trying to make myself like those high-spirited knights, and at the same time, I also showed a little disappointment and grievance after being misunderstood: If you want to kill, you can obey your lord, but I must never break my oath. I helped you out of danger yesterday, and I have lived up to my benefactor's trust." After saying this, he closed his eyes and went to die with righteousness and generosity.

The princess's expression changed, and the strength in his hand finally gradually eased, but his eyes were still dark, and he couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

She may have thought of how I worked hard to protect her last night, and carried her through a large mountain forest, and she was a little shaken.Or maybe she is calculating the possibility of me being entrusted and my future use value.

After a long while, she suddenly smiled, like an enchanting flower with thorns: "Oh, how could I kill you so cruelly?"

As she said that, she let go of the hand that was holding my chin, and patted my face lightly, with a gentle voice, as if lovingly: "If you dare to lie to me, I will definitely make you... life would be worse than death."

very scary!

My heart trembled suddenly, I felt that the princess's smile at the moment was creepy.I believe that her saying that life is better than death is definitely not just a casual threat. Once it is actually implemented... I can't even imagine it.

She stood up and looked at me condescendingly: "In our Jin Palace, not everyone can come and leave whenever they want. No matter who entrusts you, you will continue to be your maid in the future. Don't think about anything else."

"Princess, you want to keep me?" I was stunned.

"Didn't you say that you want to protect me?" The corner of the princess's mouth curled up, full of flair.

But I felt more and more uneasy, and asked cheaply: "The princess is not afraid... I am a bad person?"

"I tested you last night."

Her calm words fell in my ears like thunder.

last night?Did she test me last night?Oh... no wonder she would let me approach, and Dafang was able to lead people to find me without anyone noticing... I was terrified when I thought about it.But she stretched out her hand to lift my chin, and said with a smile: "However, you are really bad."

I'm really going to cry at her.

"From now on, follow me with peace of mind, and learn how to do things from Dafang." She stopped teasing me, and put her hands behind her back, showing a bit of a princess posture.

Looking at her fox-like long smile, I had mixed feelings, and felt like a fish on a chopping board.

This person clearly has doubts about me, but he wants to keep me, a character with unknown dangers, by his side, under his nose.It's a terrible desire to control.And the following days will be the real temptation for me, once I behave to dissatisfy her...

"I'll return this to you." She threw the mask back into my arms, paused, and added: "However, you are not allowed to wear it in the palace in the future."

I was already drenched in cold sweat, and I still replied subconsciously: "But I have many enemies, what if I am recognized?"

"You stay by my side, who dares to touch you?"

It's dangerous to stay by your side!I feel bitter.A certain princess coaxed a child and said: "As long as you behave well, I will guarantee you nothing will happen."

Be good... I have no words to say, only tears in my heart.

Alas, why did the money-obsessed person accept such a hot potato back then?It's no wonder that many seniors dare not touch the list related to Prince Jin's Mansion. It turns out that meeting this fox will cost even their own lives!

"What's your real name?" At this time, the princess asked again, but before I could answer, she made a conclusion: "Forget it, I'll call you Dahua in the future."

Immediately, his tone changed, and he said casually, "Also, what happened last night..."

Sure enough, he was still upset when he saw his embarrassing side, and wanted to kill someone to silence him, right? !When I saw this, I immediately became vigilant, and said very well: "Princess, I don't remember anything about what happened last night, really!"

"Huh?" She raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and the tone of the voice in her nasal cavity turned attractive.

Seems to be dissatisfied?

I have absolutely no idea what she means.And she gave me a cold look, then turned around and walked towards the door, leaving only a faint sentence: "After I finish dealing with the business, I will come back to settle accounts with you."

Huh? !I was stunned, wasn't this just a matter of reckoning?What else is there to settle?

But it turns out that the princess's real calculation is far from that simple.

The next day after we went back, the abbot of Maple Leaf Temple changed.The little white-faced abbot disappeared, but no one asked.Then suddenly a group of people from the government came and surrounded the Maple Leaf Temple.I haven't seen the princess again in those days. I only heard that she led a group of policemen to investigate a shocking injustice case of [-] lives a few years ago, and gave justice to the deceased.This matter spread quickly and became a righteous event that the people talked about.

And the assassination incident was also dealt with seamlessly. No one knew what happened that night at Maple Leaf Temple, and the accompanying guards also quietly changed into new faces.Our group went back to the house first.The concubine was recalled to the imperial capital by a letter from the empress dowager, saying that the chrysanthemums in the imperial capital were in full bloom, and she could return slowly.

As for the fate of those captured assassins, it is not clear.But I'm sure the princess must have done a lot of things quietly behind the scenes, otherwise the Killer House wouldn't have disbanded the three branches overnight.This can be said to have caused quite a storm in the arena, but those killer organizations swallowed their anger and did not dare to take any action.

Because they also understand that the princess has shown mercy, and this is just a small warning from her.

And what surprised me the most was that the people in the palace didn't show surprise or doubt at all about the change in my appearance, as if I was like this in the first place.Once I couldn't bear it anymore and asked Xiaolan, but I didn't expect this girl to look at me with tears in her eyes, and said with sobs that those unhappy past events should let go with the wind, and told me not to be sad, and the future of the palace The people here are all my relatives... I don't know what to say.

Alas, I really don't know whether it's joy or sorrow, compared to the change of my appearance, the rumor of Xiaolan is obviously more concerned, and it is spreading hotly in the mansion.Everyone said that Xiaolan met a very evil ghost moving the bed in the temple, and she was lying under the bed when she woke up.Up to now, there is still a talisman paper pasted on Xiaolan's bedside to ward off evil spirits.
