Seeing this pool of blood, Lu Yang couldn't help but trembled in his heart. What he was most worried about had indeed happened! But what surprised Lu Yang was that this pool of blood was behind the door of the Princess Palace, that is, the Princess Palace.

internal.

But looking at the two neat rows of guards standing in the princess's palace, Lu Yang couldn't help but wonder. Under the care of so many guards, could the princess be successfully assassinated by Xiqiao?

This is obviously impossible!

Could it be that this pool of blood does not belong to the princess, but is left by Xiqiao who came to assassinate the princess?

Lu Yang could only guess this way, but until he saw the princess, all this was still unknown.

Just when Lu Yang was still debating whether to go behind the rolling curtain to see if the princess was there, the princess's voice suddenly came from behind the rolling curtain, but her voice sounded particularly weak now.

"It's so late, why do you come here to see the princess?" the princess asked.

Lu Yang frowned and listened carefully to the other party's voice. After confirming that the voice behind the curtain was definitely not Xiqiao's disguise, he asked: "Princess, why is your voice so weak? Has something happened?

?”

"The princess just went out for convenience and accidentally knocked her head." The princess's voice didn't sound as simple as just knocking: "But you don't have to worry, the princess has already sent someone to find the imperial doctor.

"

"Are you really okay?" Lu Yang always felt that something was wrong: "I called you twice just now and you didn't answer. I'm a little worried about your safety."

"Maybe I fell asleep because I was too tired just now." The princess's voice became weaker and weaker: "By the way, what did you want to say to me just now? You must have something important to say in the middle of the night, right?

?”

Because the princess was always behind the curtain, Lu Yang didn't know if there were rules here that prohibited the princess from letting other men see her face.

Although Lu Yang wanted to see the princess's injuries, he could only stand in front of the princess's palace and talk to her.

"If I guessed correctly, Xiqiao, the assassin I told you about, should have already been to the Princess's Mansion." Lu Yang replied: "I thought she wanted to assassinate you.

But she seemed to have gone to my place first. By the way, you probably didn’t see anyone suspicious just now, right?"

The princess pondered for a while, as if she was trying to recall what had just happened. After a long time, she shook her head and replied: "I just went out for convenience before half a stick of incense. As for the suspicious person, I

The princess has never seen her before."

Looking at the blood behind the princess palace door, Lu Yang could roughly guess the origin of the blood.

This pool of blood may have been left unintentionally after the princess was injured, or it may have been accidentally left by Xiqiao who happened to be here when the princess was out. Her arm was injured and she accidentally left it when she saw that the princess was not here.

Although he didn't know why Xiqiao didn't come to assassinate the princess first, Lu Yang was finally relieved when he saw that the princess was okay.

Although the encounter tonight almost involved lives, fortunately, there was no danger, and neither he nor the princess was seriously injured.

However, it cannot be said that tonight was fruitless for Lu Yang. After all, when Xiqiao assassinated him, his arm was scratched by the edge of the window. Such wounds would definitely leave scars, and it might not be right.

It will be helpful to trace Xiqiao's true identity in the future.

"I'm afraid the Princess's Mansion is no longer safe." Lu Yang pondered for a long time and said: "I suggest that we increase the manpower in the Princess's Mansion! If you are willing, I won't mind if you arrange two guards for me.

of!"

"This matter is left to you and Master Ma." The princess sighed and said: "Although you are a guest, there are too many inconveniences for me. Alas, my luck is really bad this year.

Thinking that poor eyesight can be bruised in your own house..."

After hearing the princess's self-deprecation, Lu Yang really didn't know how to answer the question. It was really difficult for a straight man like him to comfort people, so he agreed to the princess's request.

"Then Princess, please rest first. Leave this matter to Master Ma and me." Lu Yang raised his hand and gave a slight salute before leaving the Princess's palace.

Lu Yang, who came outside the princess's palace again, pinched his chin. He looked back and thought about the appearance of the guards in the princess's palace. He always felt that there was something indescribably weird.

But it was not convenient to ask the princess directly in front of the guards, so Lu Yang could only put aside the question for the time being and wait until he had the opportunity to ask Master Ma again.

After leaving the Princess Palace, Lu Yang returned to his room. Because Xiqiao was injured, Lu Yang was not worried about Xiqiao returning. There were guards guarding the Princess Palace, so the Princess should

There will be no threats.

So Lu Yang went back to the bed, pulled out the silver blade nailed to the bed board, and then rested.

Early the next morning, before Lu Yang could wake up naturally, Master Ma knocked on Lu Yang's door.

"Lu Yang! Are you awake?" Master Ma's voice sounded a little anxious, "I heard that the princess was injured last night, and there was an assassin in the county yesterday. Do you know about this?"

Lu Yang simply arranged his clothes and pushed open the door to see Master Ma, who was out of breath. He seemed to have rushed all the way after getting the news.

"I know everything about last night." Lu Yang seemed much calmer than Master Ma: "But fortunately, the assassin came to my side first, and then went to the princess's side after being injured. But the princess

The Lord's injury has nothing to do with the assassin, don't worry."

"What a sin." Master Ma was already anxious. He was very upset about why he slept until dawn last night without knowing anything. As a master, he didn't know anything about such a big thing!

"The assassin will probably come again, right?" Master Ma has completely run out of countermeasures. Even Lu Yang, who was listed as a distinguished guest by the princess, was attacked. I'm afraid there is no one in Jinchan County who can deal with the assassin.

People.

Lu Yang smiled and shook his head: "The assassin was injured last night, and he probably won't come back in a short time. Moreover, the princess has given you and me the task of expanding the bodyguards. If the guards in the county are strengthened,

If so, it might be difficult for the injured assassin to get close to the princess' mansion."

"The princess actually agreed?" Master Ma looked at Lu Yang in shock and said, "But I have proposed this matter to the princess before. Not only did the princess not agree, but she was quite disgusted with it.

Ah, it’s really strange…”

"Maybe this has something to do with appearance." Lu Yang replied.

Master Ma rolled his eyes at Lu Yang and said nothing. At this moment, his expression suddenly became serious as if he had remembered something: "Oh! By the way! There is another strange thing! I don't know what it is."
