Blood Eater

Chapter 148 There is no warm quilt!

The chaotic footsteps of the bodyguard gradually approached. Yang Yi, the king of Jin, was anxious and wanted to leave this place, but it was dark in front of him, and a fishy sweetness surged up to his throat.

In his hazy eyes, a vague but familiar figure appeared like a ghost. With a light foot, he was picked up by him. Yang Yiping spit out poisoned blood and slowly closed his eyes.

"The assassin is over there. Come on, everyone, keep up. Don't let the assassin run away!"

The guard in the palace chased the figure hiding in the night excitedly, forcing the man to panic and run to the Zhengde Hall of Fengyi Palace...

The night was getting darker, and the lights of Zhengde Hall were much darker. In the silent study, there was a slight noise, and a figure quietly flashed. With the dim Changming Palace candlelight outside the corridor, it covered the dark bookcase in front of you.

Chu Ruoxi carefully glanced around, and the desk was covered with a few large Xuan paper. It must have been Yang Yiping's brush words used to hide people's eyes and ears, which were very ordinary...

She tiptoed close to the bookcase. Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the window lattice, and a cold light came. Chu Ruoxi didn't have time to think about it. She turned away, raised her arms, and her sleeve arrows shot directly at the figure.

The man was agile, and the cold light turned. With a crisp sound, the flying sleeve arrow was grabbed by him.

Unfortunately, he ignored Chu Ruoxi's back move and missed an arrow, and the cold light hit the man's back. He let out a low muffled hum and rushed forward.

Chu Ruoxi took this opportunity not to stay for a moment and grabbed the door.

You must quickly return to the side hall before your identity is exposed!

The silent night suddenly burst into the sky, and many people rushed in from the Zhengde Hall. They either entered through the gate or fell from the sky with eaves and walls. "Come on, the assassin hit me with a sword and can't run far."

Assassin? Why is it an assassin again?

Chu Ruoxi was surprised and didn't have time to think too much about it. The way back was blocked. She thought about it and simply didn't do it. She pulled the veil and appeared in the courtyard.

"What's so panicked about? His Royal Highness the King of Jin has rested. Aren't you afraid to shock His Royal Highness the King of Jin?

"Princess?"

A guard looked at her suspiciously and glanced behind her. "The assassin broke into the Zhengde Hall. The subordinates were ordered to arrest the assassin. It's not safe here. Why is the princess here alone!"

"Lin Tou, the assassin has been caught!"

A small bodyguard ran up quickly and proudly pointed to the person behind him who was tied up. "This boy was hit by a sword and wanted to climb over the wall, but fell off the wall."

"If you dare to assassinate the emperor, Prince Tongrui, this man is impatient to live. He is tied up and strong. He will be escorted back to ask the emperor to fall."

"Wait a minute!"

Chu Ruoxi stopped the bodyguard and stared at the person who was tied up by them, beaten black and swollen, and dying, "Dong Fu?"

The bodyguard surnamed Lin saw Chu Ruoxi's obstruction and asked puzzledly, "Does the princess know this person?"

When Chu Ruoxi saw that the person in front of her was Dong Fu, her heart seemed to have fallen into the bottomless abyss, and a chill went from the soles of her feet to her heart - guessed right, she was set up again!

"Princess..."

Seeing that Chu Ruoxi was silent, Lin's bodyguard asked for instructions in a low voice: "If it's convenient, can you let the little assassin go back to work!"

"Wait a minute, he... is not an assassin, he is my guard."

Chu Ruoxi stepped forward and raised Dong Fu's chin. He was beaten very badly, but Chu Ruoxi saw at a glance that Dong Fu was now beaten by someone before these bodyguards took action. "Dong Fu...Dong Fu! Wake up."

"Princess, this... this man assassinated the emperor. Are you sure he is your guard?" Lin's bodyguard also kindly persuaded each other. What happened under everyone's eyes, the assassination of the emperor is a serious crime of nine clans. Smart people can't avoid it. How can anyone send the truth by themselves?

"Well...um..." Dong Fu raised his eyelids twice and muttered a few words. His mind was still a little vague. Chu Ruoxi shouted with a force in his hand and said, "Come on, who beat you? Who have you met?"

Dong Fu's chin was painful, and he woke up a lot. Seeing that it was Chu Ruoxi, his body moved, but he was clamped to death. "Little...Miss, there is a... trap!"

"Who is it?"

Chu Ruoxi asked in a low voice.

"I can't see... clear, too... too fast, too... too awesome!"

Chu Ruoxi's heart is completely cold. Dong Fu's martial arts skills are not weak, and his eyesight is not as good as ordinary people. There is no problem with things in the dark. Looking at the total palace, I'm afraid there are few people who can knock him down in an instant.

Will it be him?

"Have you seen the hair?" Chu Ruoxi leaned up and asked softly in his ear.

Dong Fu looked puzzled and seemed to think of something in an instant. Just as he was about to answer, Lin's guard shouted, "You can't let the emperor wait for a long time. Take him away immediately!" He bowed to Chu Ruoxi: "I'm sorry, princess, the emperor's order is there. The younger one should take this person back to restore his life first!"

"There is light, light..."

Dong Fu just said two words to Chu Ruoxi and was dragged by the bodyguard, "Let's go. When I see the emperor, what you said, it's not over."

Light? What light?"

The noisy courtyard returned to quiet, leaving Chu Ruoxi alone. Looking at the bodyguard tied Dong Fu to restore her life, she was anxious and afraid, and there was a trace of uneasiness in her heart for no reason.

Who is in the dark, repeatedly attacking himself and again, designing and framing himself?

I'm afraid that today's event will come around to me again. What should I do?

Yang Yiping!

I don't know why Yang Yiping suddenly appeared in her mind. She raised her steps and quickly ran to Yang Yiping's dormitory.

"Princess...Princess...Please stay!" Grandpa Xu did not dare to pull Chu Ruoxi, so he had to trot with her to dissuade him. Although the prince was dead, the title of her crown princess was still there, so they had to continue to call her like this.

Eunuch Xu finally stood in front of King Jin's bedroom in Zhengde Hall, "Your Highness has slept peacefully. What's the matter with you? Why don't you come back tomorrow?"

Chu Ruoxi is anxious, and her heart is even more empty. There is only one idea. She must find Yang Yiping. As for why she wants to find him, she can't explain it clearly.

"Eunuch Xu, I have something urgent to find Your Highness. Please let me in."

Eou Xu knew that there was only this crown princess in the eyes of the king of Jin, but the king of Jin's strange temper, who dared to disturb him when he was asleep, was likely to be directly thrown away by him early tomorrow morning to feed the Taiye Lake.

Neither of the two masters could be offended. He begged bitterly, "Please pity the poor old slave. His Royal Highness the King of Jin will sleep peacefully. If someone comes to disturb you, no matter who it is, it will be very miserable?"

Does Yang Yiping have this rule?

Chu Ruoxi's eyebrows and eyes were slightly cloudy, and it was clear in his heart that it must be this ambitious "stupid prince" who pretended to be stupid during the day and did not want to be noticed at night, so he set such a rule to hide people's eyes and ears.

"Eunuch Xu, don't worry, the king of Jin blames me for everything. You let me in. I have something urgent to find His Royal Highness the King of Jin. I'm afraid that you will die miserably, and I won't plead for you!"

Chu Ruoxi's threat made Eunuch Xu's face change greatly. After thinking about it, he violated the rules of the King of Jin and only offended a master. If he offended the crown princess in front of him, he was afraid that the King of Jin would not only not help him, but also flatter her.

"The princess misunderstood. How dare the old slave hinder you? Your Highness slept. You went in so rashly. There is a difference between men and women, or..." Seeing that Chu Ruoxi frowned and his face gradually became gloomy, Eunuch Xu quickly changed his words, "The old slave is going in and ask His Royal Highness the King of Jin. The crown princess wait a moment!"

Gunuch Xu greased the soles of his feet and quickly flashed into the room before Chu Ruoxi changed his face.

Chu Ruoxi secretly twisted his clothes and thought that Dong Fu was following Lin Shuangqing. How could he be made like this instead? And those bodyguards also insisted that he was an assassin, which made no sense. No matter how much Dong Fu was restrained, he did not dare to assassinate the emperor without his own order...

What about Lin Shuangqing?

I was in a hurry and forgot to check if she had come back. There were so many guards in Zhengde Hall before, and there was such a big movement. If she was in the side hall, she should also hear it. Is it right to come out and check one or two?

"Ah!"

A scream came from the inner room. Chu Ruoxi was shocked and his thoughts returned - this Yang Yiping is really full of drama, poor Eunuch Xu!

"Squeak!" When the wooden door was opened, Eunuch Xu covered his forehead with one hand and bowed to invite Chu Ruoxi in: "Your Highness woke up, please come in!"

"You... your injury, Eunuch Xu, you are too careless. Your Highness is in poor health, so you can pick up your life. If it were Your Highness's health, I'm afraid you would have seen the King of Yan long ago."

Chu Ruoxi flashed into the room and said, "Hurry up and find an imperial doctor to get some medicine. Your Highness doesn't like to be disturbed. You all take it easy and avoid it if you can!"

Eunuch Xu couldn't say anything about his suffering and retreated. "Thank you for your advice. I'm going to the imperial hospital." Chu Ruoxi didn't want people to follow. He didn't understand the meaning. He happened to vent his anger in it: "What are you looking at? Don't you know your Highness's temperament? Why don't you get far away and wait in the yard and guard carefully? Do you want to ask Your Highness to give you all the best?

Chu Ruoxi laughed in his heart and came to Yang Yiping's bed. He struggled to get up, and his white pajamas oozed several blood stains. His heart was palpitated, as if he had been pricked by a needle.

"Your Highness, don't move, be careful to tear open the wound!"

She reached out to help Yang Yiping. Sure enough, she responded to her guess that a body that had just came out of the quilt was like an ordinary person. She didn't feel that his quilt was warm. As expected, he had just come back and lay down for a short time.

Perhaps, if Grandpa Xu hadn't stopped him and broke in, he might not even have taken off his clothes.

Yang Yi lay down gently, took Chu Ruoxi's hand, and was a little worried: "Ruoxi, Grandpa Xu said it was late, but you were in a hurry to see me. Is there something wrong?"

Chu Ruoxi didn't know where to start for a moment. Although she knew that Yang Yiping might already know what had happened, and maybe he was the person who secretly dealt with her, she still chose to come to him.

Is this a moth to put out the fire?
