The eunuchs guarding them had no intention of actually intercepting the assassins in black, they were just showing off.

Anyone with a brain knows that if someone can commit such a blatant murder in the deep inner courtyard of the palace, the master of the assassin must be able to cover the sky with one hand in the palace.

Therefore, those guarding eunuchs will not really try their best to block it.

There are five black-clothed assassins in total, and their martial arts skills are all above average, but they are enough to deal with Rejoice and Sassoon.

However, it is a pity that Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli happened to be here.

After the five people entered the hall, Dongming Ziyu killed three, Shangguan Ruoli killed one, and the remaining one was left alive.

"Tell me, who is he?" Rejoice pointed her sword at the assassin's throat.

Of course the assassin didn't say anything, he looked as if he was ready to die.

Shangguan Ruoli saw that the assassin had a stubble and judged that he was a man, so he waved his hand and said: "No need to ask, just give him some love potion, throw it into any concubine's bed, and let the emperor destroy his nine tribes directly.

"

The assassin looked at Shangguan Ruoli, with a flash of fear in her eyes, as if she was the most vicious woman in the world.

He is not afraid of punishment or death, but he is afraid that his family will be implicated.

Dongming Ziyu said coldly: "Do as the princess says!"

"Yes!" Rejoice immediately took out a small bottle.

Ahem, actually she doesn't have a love potion, it's just an ordinary healing potion.

The assassin had a look of hatred on his face, "You can guess even if I don't tell you, I am the Queen's man."

"How can I believe your words?" Shangguan Ruoli looked at him coldly.

The queen has Dr. Zhao, who can kill people silently. Is it necessary to send a killer?

Dongming Ziyu said impatiently: "Don't waste your time, just kill him. Who in this palace can let the killer come and go freely, and fight for so long without alerting the patrolling Imperial Guards and Imperial Guards?"

emperor?

And after the incident was revealed, he framed it to the queen.

Sure enough, the assassin said: "Yes, it's the emperor, we are from the Royal Forest Army."

Dongming Ziyu gave Rejoice a look, and Rejoice killed him with a sword.

At this time, the eunuch guarding outside got up from the ground and walked staggeringly into the palace as if he had been seriously injured.

He was still shouting: "Here, there is an assassin! Is Princess Xuan okay?"

Dongming Ziyu ordered: "Let them come in and carry the body out."

Then he put his arms around Shangguan Ruoli's waist and climbed up to the beam, hiding in the dark.

Rejoice put the soft sword into her waist, picked up the assassin's sword as a cover, and let a few eunuchs in, "We have solved the assassin, you guys take away the body on the ground."

The eunuchs looked at each other in surprise. They didn't hear a few fights outside, but they didn't expect that several people would die like this.

It seems that Rejoice and Sassoon have good martial arts skills, or there are secret guards with strong martial arts skills.

After they cleared out all the corpses, Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli jumped down from the rafters.

Shangguan Ruoli took out the corpse-transforming powder from the medicine bag he carried and handed it to Rejoice, "Please move the substitute somewhere out of the way and melt it."

She felt a little self-blame and guilt in her heart. After all, the substitute was innocent, but he died here for her.

Rejoice took the bottle and carried the body out on the bed with Sassoon. They did not dare to go to the yard and disposed of the body directly outside.

Dongming Ziyu was a little worried about Shangguan Ruoli's safety, and said: "I will send some people from the dark side to protect you."

Shangguan Ruoli waved his hand indifferently, "No, I have Dr. Zhao, who is as picturesque as a doctor. Why are you afraid of the queen? She will have to send me back obediently the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Dongming Ziyu frowned, "She knows that you know her secret, what should I do if she jumps over the wall in a hurry?"

Shangguan Ruoli sneered: "In my opinion, she has been jumping over the wall. We can't always be in passive defense. She is our mortal enemy after all, why not let ourselves be happy?"

The one on the left is ours and the one on the right is ours, which makes Dongming Ziyu feel very good.

"Okay!" Dongming Ziyu held Shangguan Ruoli's hand, looking like he couldn't let go.

To be honest, Shangguan Ruoli always thought that she fell in love with him first and felt that she loved him more. But now, she seemed to feel that he seemed to love her more.

At least, she didn't feel reluctant or reluctant to leave him at this moment. She just wanted to let him leave quickly to avoid being discovered.

So, he urged: "Well, you should go back quickly. Even though the sound of fighting here did not attract anyone, it may not be that there are no experts watching around. The emperor has transferred people away by himself, so you should leave quickly."

Dongming Ziyu's eyes instantly turned sad, like a big pet abandoned by its owner.

Blinking his eyes, he said aggrievedly: "You don't even want to leave me at all."

Shangguan Ruoli: "..."

Hearing the sound of a large number of people walking around, Shangguan Ruoli said hurriedly: "It seems that the palace guards are here. Something happened to me here. The emperor has to make a show of explaining to you."

Dongming Ziyu kissed her and then walked out of the palace.

Shangguan Ruoli called Rejoice and Sassoon in who were hiding outside. Rejoice went to deal with the inquiries outside. Sassoon found a new quilt and spread it on the ground for her to sleep on.

The body double had been lying on the bed for three days, and Shangguan Ruoli was unwilling to lie on it.

There was no talking all night, and the food was left at the door in the morning.

Rejoice brought the food box in, opened the lid, and a burst of aroma wafted out.

Shangguan Ruoli took a look and saw that there were porridge, vegetables, steamed buns and steamed dumplings.

Although it is not as good as the usual food in Prince Xuan's Mansion, it is much better than Shangguan Ruoli's.

Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "I thought the food I was given was swill, but I didn't expect it to be so good."

Rejoice checked the food with a silver needle and said: "You are the princess. The queen brought you to the palace to recuperate. She is not a prisoner. How can I treat you harshly with the food?"

The silver needle did not turn black, and Rejoice placed the food on the peeled patent leather table with confidence.

Shangguan Ruoli knew that some poisons may not cause the silver needle to change color, and some foods are incompatible with each other and react in the stomach to form toxins.

Breakfast was very simple, nothing wrong with it.

Shangguan Ruoli had breakfast, had nothing to do, and started practicing Qigong.

Alas, she couldn't even remember the last time she practiced Kung Fu.

The lunch was quite sumptuous, with two large food boxes, so naturally nothing could be found.

Rejoice filled a bowl of ginger chicken soup and said, "Princess, today's chicken soup is very good. Please drink an extra bowl. Doctor Zhao said that patients with typhoid fever should drink more of this soup."

Shangguan Ruoli lowered his eyes slightly, "Do you have this soup every day?"

Rejoice said: "Not necessarily, sometimes it's red dates, ginger and pigeon soup..." She seemed to remember something and said: "Now that I think about it, it seems that there is ginger."

Sassoon said: "The substitute is afraid of hurting himself, so he likes to drink tonic soup."

Shangguan Ruoli nodded and looked at the other dishes. There was nothing incompatible with the soup.

After eating and digesting for a while, Shangguan Ruoli started practicing again.

At about three or four o'clock, Rejoice came in and reported: "Princess, Doctor Zhao is here."
