The county horse is a medicine jar

The residence of the Four Princes.

Zhang Heng, covered in bruises, was lying on the bed. He managed to prop himself up and took a sip of the medicine that the maid gave to his mouth. Perhaps he drank too quickly, and he coughed several times due to choking. brow.

Seeing this, the maid hastily took out her veil, stroked his back gently, and carefully wiped the concoction that Zhang Heng choked from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, a figure quietly pushed the door and walked in without making a sound, standing silently behind the maid.

When Zhang Heng looked up and saw the person coming, his expression suddenly became happy, and he immediately pushed the maidservant away and said in a low voice: "You step back."

The maid looked at the medicine in her hand, with a hesitant look on her face: "But this medicine..."

Before she finished speaking, a woman's cold and emotionless voice suddenly came from the maidservant's ear.

"Let me do it."

The servant girl didn't even notice that someone was approaching behind her, and someone made a sound so suddenly, she was so startled that she stood up abruptly, tripped over the stool behind her, and the medicine bowl in her hand was not stable for a moment, and she was about to be knocked over. land.

At this critical moment, the person behind her made a decisive move, pushing and helping her to stabilize her figure, and at the same time, with lightning speed, she caught the medicine bowl that fell in mid-air. The concoction that came out fell into the bowl again, and a single drop stood firmly in the palm of his hand.

As soon as the maid stood firm, and she still hadn't recovered, the woman behind her withdrew her hand, and walked past her with the medicine bowl to the bed.

The woman who suddenly appeared was extremely unfamiliar. She was thin and straight, and although she looked beautiful, her expression was extremely cold. She was not dressed like a maid in the mansion, nor like a concubine in the backyard of His Highness. People don't know why they feel a little fear in their hearts.

Before the maid had time to investigate the identity of the woman, Zhang Heng asked her to back down again, but she didn't dare to ask, so she had to obediently back down.

The person who came here was Li Luo, the chief culprit who had caused the capital to be full of storms in the past few days.

After stabbing Shen Qingwan according to the plan that day, Li Luo went straight to find the fourth prince and returned to his life. Since there were officers and soldiers in the city searching for her traces, the fourth prince could only let her hide in the mansion for the time being.

To avoid leaking the news, the fourth prince kept Li Luo hiding in the secret room for the past few days, and she didn't show up until today.

Seeing Li Luo, Zhang Heng seemed a little excited. He struggled to sit up, looked Li Luo up and down a few times, and then sighed in relief: "Fortunately, you are fine, I thought you would fight with Qingyang County." , you will definitely not retreat completely."

Facing Zhang Heng's worry, Li Luo just nodded expressionlessly, then raised his hand and handed the medicine bowl in his hand to Zhang Heng, and asked casually, "Did the Fourth Prince tell you about that day?"

"I haven't seen His Highness in the past few days. Although I know that you have attacked, I don't know the details of it. I have been secretly worried that you will be injured."

Zhang Heng shook his head, took the medicine bowl from Li Luo, and drank it on his back. After the bowl of medicine was poured into his stomach, he still laughed at himself: "It's still so good, but it makes me feel uncomfortable if someone takes care of you." tight."

Li Luo took back the medicine bowl and put it aside, stared at Zhang Heng silently for a while, then suddenly asked: "Since the matter is over, when shall we leave the capital?"

"leave?"

Zhang Hengwen was very surprised. After pondering for a moment, he frowned and said: "But we finally solved the serious trouble for His Highness, and His Highness will definitely value us in the future. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to leave now... A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

After all, Zhang Heng leaned against the bed with a lot of thoughts, and said softly: "Actually, I also know that if my life was not in danger, you would not betray Lin Sishen, but now that you have no way out, Lin Sishen will not let her go." over yours."

Li Luowen turned away, looking out of the window, she couldn't help being fascinated by the whispers, she murmured softly: "I just want to leave as soon as possible, away from all the disputes in the capital."

Zhang Heng sighed deeply, looked at Li Luoyu and said earnestly: "I don't blame you if you want to leave, you have never seen your father or your biological mother, and you don't feel anything about this gratuitous hatred that has been planted on your head for no reason. But I am different, for many years I have not been able to sleep peacefully every night, dreaming that my father turned into a wronged soul and cried out, blaming me for not redressing Shen Jia's wrong for him..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Heng's voice trembled, he took a deep breath and continued: "I will avenge the Shen family's blood and deep revenge, you have done enough for me, I will not involve you in it again. I know you are right Lin Sishen still has affection, although she is Lin Ying's son, but seeing that she has taken care of you all these years, I will let her go."

I have to say, what Zhang Heng said really sounded like a brother who was only thinking of his younger sister, even if he was as cold as Li Luo, he couldn't help but be touched.

Seeing that Li Luo had been silent with downcast eyes, Zhang Heng put his hand on her shoulder lightly, and said softly: "You can stay here for a while, the wind is too tight now, I will ask His Highness to arrest you when the limelight passes. Send it out of the city safely."

Li Luo didn't withdraw Zhang Heng's hand, and didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "You are good at self-cultivation, I will come back another day."

After saying that, Li Luo turned around and was about to leave, but Zhang Heng suddenly stopped her after taking two steps.

"Li Luo."

Li Luo stopped but didn't look back, just silently listening to what Zhang Heng had to say.

Zhang Heng's eyes flashed, and he mentioned something that Li Luo didn't know as if casually speaking: "I heard that Lin Sishen was crazy, that day she assassinated His Highness in front of Lin Ying and the Ninth Prince, and almost succeeded, His Highness kept the matter a secret for the sake of the overall situation."

Li Luo closed her eyes, her thin lips moved slightly, and after a long time she asked aloud, "What do you want to say?"

Zhang Heng reminded softly: "I said this just to remind you that she is already crazy, and if she sees you, she will definitely seek revenge from you."

Li Luo frowned, and she asked in a cold voice: "You say this to remind me not to meet her in private?"

Zhang Heng's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly explained: "I'm just worried about your safety. You have already become enemies with her. Even if you have difficulties or you regret it, there is no way out."

"There is no way out..."

Li Luo murmured in a low voice, and then said with a sarcastic smile: "Yes, I really have no way out. If I betray her, I'm afraid Master won't tolerate me."

Although the assassins of the Shadow Gate were collecting money to kill people, the gate rules were extremely strict. It was a big taboo for Li Luo to betray his employer. What's more, Lin Sishen had some friendship with Master. Send someone to clear the door.

Even if she leaves the capital, she has no place to stay.

Thinking of this, Zhang Heng also sighed quietly, and said with a wry smile: "I keep saying that I don't want you to be involved, but in the end I still implicated you."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Heng gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind, and persuaded him: "Maybe you don't have to go, maybe you can stay and work for His Highness with me. His Highness never thought of killing Lin Sishen, and you don't have to fight with me either." She is an enemy, after we finish our revenge, we can go back to Tingzhou together."

Unexpectedly, Li Luo did not sternly refuse, maybe she really had no way out, she hesitated for a long time without saying a word, just as she was thinking, the door was quietly pushed open.

The fourth prince Shi Shiran, dressed in brocade and jade crown, pushed the door open, looked around the two of them, clapped his hands and said loudly: "If I have two capable people to help me, it will be like adding wings to a tiger."

The fourth prince turned his head to look at Li Luo, with a gentle and humble attitude: "Miss Li Luo, you and I have never had any enmity, and your brother is still under this king, and this king promised that he will reverse the case for the Shen family in the future. If you say The girl is worried that I have evil intentions towards Shen'er, but I have never killed her, on the contrary, the king will protect her. You and I will benefit from cooperation, so I don't know why the girl still hesitates?"

In fact, the fourth prince's solicitation was exactly what Li Luo wanted, and it was also a situation set up by her and Shen Qingwan, but she could not agree easily, fearing that it might backfire and make the fourth prince suspicious.

So Li Luo didn't agree, she asked in a cold voice: "I heard that she didn't die, so I actually missed it, don't you want me to do it again?"

The fourth prince withdrew his smile when he heard that, and his eyes suddenly darkened: "I thought the girl stayed in the secret room for a few days and didn't know anything about it?"

Li Luo calmly said, "Do you really think I'll just stay there obediently and not go anywhere?"

The fourth prince changed his face like flipping through a book. Seeing Li Luo's calmness, he swept away his gloom again, laughed and praised: "Miss Li Luo really does not act according to common sense. The chamber of secrets never leaves."

After finishing speaking, the fourth prince paced around Li Luo, muttering to himself: "Miss Li Luo just said that this king doesn't want you to do it again? But since Wan'er was assassinated, the palace is heavily guarded, and the guards around Wan'er have stepped forward every step of the way." Buli, if this king lets you go, how will you succeed?"

Li Luo said without hesitation: "The Ninth Prince has announced to the world to hire a famous doctor to come to the mansion to treat the princess. I can pretend to be the doctor who unveiled the list and ask to see him. I will use the name of practicing medicine to wait for an opportunity to assassinate."

The fourth prince thought for a while, and then said: "This is a good idea."

Li Luo raised his eyes to stare at the fourth prince, and said coldly: "Since I promised you to kill her, I will definitely do it. This is the only time I missed, and it will definitely be the last time."

"The number one assassin in the world really lives up to its reputation."

The fourth prince praised casually, and then said with disdain: "But she is nothing to be afraid of, she is just a dead person lying on the bed."

Hearing what the fourth prince said, Li Luo was quietly relieved.

That day Shen Qingwan had mentioned to Li Luo that if she became a useless person in the eyes of the fourth prince, according to the fourth prince's arrogant and jealous temperament, even if Li Luo took the initiative to mention the assassination again, the fourth prince would not agree to kill her.

Because the fourth prince has always been worried that he was supported by Shen Qingwan, so in order to wash away the shame in his heart, let Shen Qingwan become a useless person, ignorant but still alive, to see him ascend to the throne by himself, Obviously more to his liking.

Not only that, because of this, the fourth prince will trust Li Luo a little more, and everything is exactly as she expected.

This is what Shen Qingwan said to leave a little bit of leeway, she is still alive, the Ninth Prince has no intention of going to court to avoid the coup, and Lin Sishen will not die in despair.

Li Luo admired Shen Qingwan's control over people's hearts, and was even more shocked by her cruelty to herself and her loved ones.
