The leading maid whispered.

Shui Xinyuan did not look at the maid, but at the young woman behind the maid.

The clothes that are still dazzling and beautiful at night, the hair that is carefully tied up... are obviously different from other women.

"That's Miss Cao over there, right?"

"Yes, we are about to pass, are you here to lead the way?"

"no."

Shui Xinyuan stared at Bao Ji's face.

Under the moonlight, her snow-white face is as beautiful as a doll.

"I am a palace concubine."

"...Gong Qi?"

The leading maid frowned slightly, while Fajie behind her didn't even move her eyebrows.

"Get out of the way. It would be too rude for the little palace concubine to block our way."

"I have something to ask..."

Shui Xinyuan was worried that he might have mistaken the wrong person.

But seeing Bao Ji up close like this, she looked more like the beautiful woman she saw in Lu Wuxian's room that day than when she cried at the banquet that morning.

Although it cannot be said categorically that she is right, Shui Xinyuan believes that she is absolutely right.

Now there is no need to beat around the bush.

"You plan to follow His Highness Wuxian's order and kill His Highness Lu Fusu, right?"

The man following the team reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword hanging at his waist.

Bao Ji still didn't move.

"Or are you planning to do this for His Highness Wuxian?"

"Back off!"

The leading maid shouted sharply.

The man draws his sword.

"This is the concubine of Lord Cao Zicheng, the Minister of Civil Affairs! You are a mere palace servant, but if you dare to speak in such a tone, don't blame us for taking action!"

"Huh, I'm mentally prepared."

After answering, Shui Xinyuan also took a fighting stance.

"Miss Cao, I have seen you in His Highness Wuxian's room... If you are willing to do anything for His Highness Wuxian, I will also do something for His Highness Fusu."

I don't know if the other party sensed Shui Xinyuan's unwillingness to give in. Bao Ji's expression did not change at all and she faced the front coldly.

A man came over with a sword.

Despite this, Shui Xinyuan's courage made the sword-wielding man unable to find a weakness in wielding the sword, and also made the maids timid.

But Baoji narrowed her eyes slightly and opened her oiled lips, which were glowing red.

"What are you doing? Get rid of her."

……no way.

If your stubborn brother is willing to give up his position, at least one life can be saved.

It's this person's voice...

That's right.

Shui Xinyuan looked at the maid behind Bao Ji...the thin pot in her hand.

It was impossible for Lu Fusu to let the man with the sword enter, and it was impossible for Bao Ji to wield the sword herself.

poison.

Shui Xinyuan intuitively felt that it was poison.

She ran straight to the maid.

Bao Ji changed her expression for the first time.

The man jumped between Shui Xinyuan and the maid holding the pot. Shui Xinyuan slapped the man's face with his sleeve and turned over.

…just break the pot…

The maid holding the pot was so frightened that she backed away.

Shui Xinyuan reached out to grab the maid's sleeve, but the man slashed at her with his sword again.

"Well……"

His head just met the tip of the sword, and his hair was loosened.

The stabbing sword passed in front of him, and Shui Xinyuan dodged left and right in the corridor.

At this time, Bao Ji and the maid were ready to enter the house again.

……Can't!

Shui Xinyuan quickly passed by the man and caught up with the maids again.

"You woman!"

The two maids threw down their candles and rushed towards Shuixinyuan, who was about to snatch the thin pot.

"You and the lady go first!"

"no……"

Shui Xinyuan bit the arm of one of the maids, knocked the other one away, and caught up with Bao Ji's team again.

"...!"

She turned over to avoid the sword that was coming towards her, and the tip of the sword cut open the hem of her clothes.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Bao Ji taking the thin pot from the maid's hand and preparing to enter the room alone.

"no……"

...can't let her in.

Someone shouted something.

The arm was grabbed and dragged down.

The sword flashed.

Shui Xinyuan closed his eyes.

Scream.

One sound, two sounds...

"..."

I didn't feel like I had been stabbed, and I didn't expect that death could be so peaceful...

Shui Xinyuan gently opened his eyes.

I saw half of the clear moon peeking out from the edge of the eaves.

And the slender figure of a man standing with a sword in one hand.

"...Did you even bring the poisoned wine?"

A nostalgic but terrifying sound.

Shui Xinyuan stood up in shock.

Lu Fusu stood there, with an angry expression on his face that Shui Xinyuan had never seen before.

"After watching that weird scene this morning, I had already thought it was Lu Wuxian's trick... What kind of trick is this now, Cao Baoji?"

"I...I have nothing..."

The trembling voice was exactly the same as when she cried at the banquet during the day.

"I was just summoned by His Highness the Crown Prince, so I came here... but the girl over there was rude and rude..."

"She is my love."

Lu Fusu's words resounded clearly throughout heaven and earth.

"Even if others betray me, she will never... I called you here to see Lu Wuxian's plan. I didn't know you and Lu Wuxian were together, but today's crappy scene made me discover it.

Already."

"How could it be...I really don't have anything..."

"If you insist on claiming ignorance, I will ask Shui Xinyuan later. Shui Xinyuan's here is the best evidence."
