"What the hell is going on! Assassin, how did the assassin come in!"

Looking at the unconscious Yuan Shu, Princess Yuan pointed angrily at the crowd kneeling in the outer room, and asked loudly.Kneeling in front of them were Qing Wan and several of Yuan Shu's personal servants, all lying on the floor sobbing and unable to say a word.

The captain of the patrolling guard stepped forward, knelt on the ground and lowered his head, and replied: "Just now when I was patrolling, I found a maid carrying that plate of food towards this side. The subordinates came forward to inquire, but she replied that it was the princess who was following her. The one who gave soup to the princess. The subordinates confirmed that she was indeed someone close to the princess, so they let her go. Unexpectedly..."

Unexpectedly, when he was on tour again, he heard the sound of a dagger falling to the ground, and broke in without the princess' response, but he narrowly saved the dying princess, and the assassin escaped right under his nose.

"The subordinate is incompetent, please punish the princess!"

Princess Yuan raised her eyebrows sharply after hearing this, and asked, "You said you saw the maid next to my concubine? May I ask her name?"

"Go back to Wangfei, she said her name is Yunxiu."

The captain of the guards just barely finished speaking, and Qing Wan and the others who were lying on the ground hurriedly raised their heads, crying and said: "It's Yunxiu! Princess, it was Yunxiu who just said something happened in your courtyard, so she sent her away Without us, we don't even know..."

"That's enough! Shut up, the captain of the guards will go to the concubine's courtyard to check immediately, and drag the rest of the people down to punish fifteen."

Concubine Yuan, who had been worrying about gathering for many days and was always reluctant to get hurt by Yuan Shu, was punishing her servants so severely for the first time.Looking at the waiters who were dragged down by covering their mouths, the anger dilutes the last trace of hesitation.

"Reporting to Princess Qi, the Princess has woken up!"

"Really? My Ah Yu..." Princess Yuan lost her voice in excitement when she heard that Yuan Shu was safe, and walked quickly to the inner room, weeping with joy, she didn't look as fierce as before.

Cheng Wenmeng received the last injection, and also untied Yuan Shu's acupoints that had been touched just now. His deep eyes fell on the finger marks on Yuan Shu's neck, and he couldn't help being a little annoyed.Fortunately, that person withdrew his hand. If he used a little more force, even Immortal Da Luo would not be able to save him.

Yuan Shu, who had been suffocating for a long time, finally regained her breath, opened her eyes dimly, and saw a bright light in the room, she blinked her watery eyes in some discomfort, and finally saw clearly the person sitting on the edge of the couch.

"Uncle Cheng, cough cough!"

It's okay if you don't speak, but when you speak, you will feel severe pain, as if your throat has been cut off, and you can't speak at all, and the pain is burning.After a few dry coughs, she burst into tears.

Cheng Wenmeng hurriedly stretched out his hand to stroke her back, comfortingly said: "Okay, don't talk, your throat is hurt, it will heal after a while."

Only then did Yuan Shu stop coughing, lay on the couch with a blushing face, and stretched out her hand to touch the still painful neck.The memory also began to come back, the suppressed powerless struggle, the terrifying suffocation, and the silent cry for help... Suddenly, she looked into the room in shock, but the figure had long since disappeared, only the lotus jade pendant was left Lying quietly beside her.

"Ah Yu woke up? It's fine! It's fine!"

After a burst of footsteps, Princess Yuan appeared at the bead curtain. When she saw Yuan Shu on the couch who had regained her sanity with her eyes open, she didn't bother to wipe her tears, so she ran over and hugged her tightly. she.

"It scares the mother and concubine, my Ah Yuan must not have any accidents, absolutely no accidents!"

Yuan Shu didn't know how great a mother's love really was, and even though she knew she was not her own, she still regarded her as the concubine of Yuan Wang, who was so dear to her flesh and blood.Lying in Princess Yuan's arms, Yuan Shu, who had just experienced a life-and-death battle, couldn't hold back her tears, and cried non-stop as she hugged her mother and concubine's waist tightly.

That's it, it's okay to call her childish, but she just can't help but want to find a safe breath in her mother's arms.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay, the concubine mother will definitely let someone catch the assassin, Ah Yuan is not afraid."

Yuan Shu's act of seeking shelter like a wounded little beast undoubtedly hit Princess Yuan's soft spot, hugging her pitifully, both mother and child couldn't help crying.On the other hand, Cheng Wenmeng, who had already stood aside, looked around the inner room in a blink of an eye, trying to find clues, but when he saw the lotus jade placed beside his pillow, he paused slightly.

As far as he knew, the princess of his family never took it off after he put it on.

Keeping this matter to herself, she took a step forward and persuaded Princess Yuan respectfully, "Princess, don't worry, the princess is fine now, but her throat is hurt and she can't speak, and it will recover after a while."

Hearing this, Princess Yuan wiped her tears, and Princess Yuan lifted Yuan Shu from her arms. Taking advantage of the bright light, she saw clearly that there were several bruises on Yuan Shu's snow-white neck, and the fingerprints were clearly visible. , You don't need to think about it to know that someone pinched it.

"Military Master, no matter what, we must catch that man!" Angrily, he gave an order, turned around and stroked the wound, looked at Yuan Shu with pity, and said, "Ah Yu is not afraid, and I will not be afraid again in the future." There will be no such thing.”

The sore throat was unbearable, and Yuan Shu couldn't make a sound, so she nodded with tears in her eyes.After living for so many years, the moment she was pinched by that person, everything was really empty. Being too close to the edge of death was a fear she had never felt in two lifetimes.She has always lived in peace, no matter in that advanced society or this feudal ancient times, she is always a delicate girl who is well protected by her family.

Even when Yuan Li did something to her before, at least she never thought of killing her, but just now, when she was strangled by the neck, she knew clearly that the man had murdered her.

As for why she gave up in the end, she didn't know, in short, it wasn't because of the guard breaking in. In the few seconds before that, that man was fully capable of killing her in an instant.

Who is she?

Although unable to speak, Yuan Shu was still able to write. She took a pen and ink and summarized what happened tonight, including the matter of the jade pendant.After reading the few lines, Cheng Wenmeng and Princess Yuan saw deep meaning and astonishment in their eyes.

"It's actually a technique of disguise. It seems that this person is not simple. A group of a few people who are not strange can slaughter a whole family. I'm afraid it will take some effort for such a stranger." Cheng Wenmeng said indifferently, with hidden hints in his words concern.

As for Princess Yuan, after watching a section of Yu Pei, her complexion changed slightly, as if she was afraid that Yuan Shu would become suspicious, so she forced her expression back and absent-mindedly answered Cheng Wenmeng's words, but Yuan Shu was watching her.

"It's already late at night. The princess has been feeling unwell recently. The princess has subordinates to watch over her. Please return to the main garden to rest."

I think Cheng Wenmeng also saw it, so he found an excuse just now.Princess Yuan walked down the steps, comforted Yuan Shu for a while, and then left with a group of people. Before leaving, she went out with Cheng Wenmeng and said something.When Cheng Wenmeng came into the inner room again, Yuan Shu had already put on the jade pendant.

"The girl is scared, don't be afraid, Uncle Cheng will stay here for a few days, and when your father comes back, he will wipe out those people." He sighed while touching Yuan Shu's head.

Yuan Shu saw his self-blame, her heart was flustered, she opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't make a sound in frustration, and shook her head dejectedly.For now, she wants to know more about who that woman is.

"Okay, don't think about it, you are tired too, go to bed early, there are people guarding outside, it's okay."

Noisy and noisy in the middle of the night, it was already early morning by this time, Yuan Shu, who had been frightened for a while, naturally lost her energy, and after being comforted by Cheng Wenmeng, she quickly fell asleep.

Looking at the little man who was sleeping peacefully, Cheng Wenmeng, who was standing with his hands behind his back on the side of the couch, frowned deeply. Now more than ten years have passed, and he, who has never been married and has no children, has long regarded Yuan Shu as a daughter.For so many years, Yuan Shu has lived happily in the palace. He thought it would be like this for the rest of his life, but... it seems that everything is about to start.

Your lord, you should be back soon.

After this night, the palace added more guards, and even Yuan Shu's dormitory had a few more guards.Seeing the time flies, it will be the middle of July, as in previous years, Princess Yuan ordered to go to Chengyun Temple to worship Buddha.

The weather in July is getting hotter and hotter. Although there is a lot of ice in the palace, Yuan Shu is unwilling to waste it.Someone moved a brocade couch to the water pavilion, hung a light gauze to shade it, and waited for the breeze to blow.Holding a golden spoon and digging the fruit smoothie in the enamel bowl, occasionally looking at a pond of picking lotus, with a waiter playing a fan beside him, it is a proper enjoyment.

"Qingwan, just sit down, the wind keeps blowing, you burn incense so quickly, why bother."

A few days passed, and the scars on her neck quickly disappeared. Thanks to Cheng Wenmeng's miraculous medicine, even her voice recovered early.Looking at Qing Wan squatting on the ground and fiddling with the incense burner, Yuan Shu kindly persuaded her.

"Princess, this is the happiest thing at the moment. The water pavilion stops to cool off, and you burn incense and play the piano and drink tea. Even Your Majesty praises it." Fashionable Yuan Shu.

The despised person held his forehead speechlessly. If she remembers correctly, this kind of incense burning has become popular a few years ago. I don’t know which literati are so leisurely. The hot air is mixed with Yuxiang, which is a special feeling.

"Your butt doesn't hurt anymore? Why don't you stop and sit down?"

After all, the sky has been peaceful for more than ten days, and Yuan Shu felt a little aggrieved if he didn't take the opportunity to enjoy it.Qingying, of course she was dragged down that night and beaten for fifteen days. Princess Yuan was so angry that she forgot to pardon her. She couldn't get out of bed after being beaten for several days. Yuan Shu went to Cheng Wenmeng to ask for medicine. It just got better.

Hearing this, Qing Wan's hand that was on fire stopped, and she gave Yuan Shu a blushing look, and said with a smile: "Princess, you are embarrassing me with this again! Don't worry, my ass will be healed soon! Tomorrow Will be with you."

There was a hint of reluctance in his silly smile, but no resentment.

Yuan Shu also smiled, and replied: "That's a good relationship. The road to Chengyun Temple is a bit far away, and I'm worried that you won't be able to go."

"Ah! Let's go?" Qing Wan was so shocked that she even ignored the things in her hands, threw them all on the ground, and looked at Yuan Shu in surprise, for fear that she had misheard the word.

"That's right, tomorrow I'll be in the same car with my concubine mother, so you have to walk beside me." After finishing speaking, Yuan Shu pouted sympathetically to show her innocence.

Qing Wan immediately became messy in the wind, her buttocks were not in shape at all, and her walking was still a little unnatural.Think about the way to Chengyun Temple, it is in the outskirts of the city!In the past years, she always drove with her princess, and complained about the long distance in the car. If she was really told to walk over with her feet... then she would be dead!
