That night, Yun Zishu was lying on the bed alone, staring at the light blue gauze curtains blowing in the wind with her eyes open. She couldn't sleep for a long time. She turned around and looked around, but she didn't see where Sicang was hiding.
Yun Zishu sat up and said, "Sicang."
"exist."
Yun Zishu looked up and saw Sicang hanging on the beam, his whole body curled up into a black ball that was not easy to find. If the lights were turned off at night, who could see that there was a person hiding there?
Yun Zishu couldn't help but think of the past.
Sicang's talent is undoubtedly the best among the shadow guards at the same time, but in the early stages of shadow guard training, the young man's ideas have not yet been completely solidified, and they will also engage in intrigues, because they know that the most powerful person must rely on the unity of others.
win.
Therefore, Sicang was often injured at that time, mostly due to joint attacks. In every round of life and death, the people with the lowest qualifications died, and a few people with good qualifications but not at the top level would die.
A group atmosphere was formed to work together to deal with Sicang.
If they want to survive, they can only work together to get rid of the strongest ones first, otherwise they won't even have a chance of survival.
So every time Sicang wants to survive, he must kill all the people who work together to deal with him. This process is very difficult. He can only try his best, even if he is seriously injured, he must use his last breath to kill everyone.
people.
Sicang is the strongest Shadow Guard. The word "strongest" sounds like an understatement, but no one knows how much it costs. He has gone through the ghost gates many times alone, and his skills are so perfect that he looks like a ghost, but...
How many times have I almost lost my life?
Over the years, he has had too much blood on his hands. His survival and eventual position as leader were all achieved by stepping on the corpses of countless people. Such a person should be ruthless and without any weaknesses.
Yun Zishu is the only exception in his life.
Thinking of the past, Yun Zishu's heart softened suddenly. She raised her head and looked at Sicang: "You come down first."
There was a gentle breeze blowing in front of me, and Sicang stood in front of him in a blink of an eye: "Your Highness."
Yun Zishu pointed to her shoulder and back: "Does it hurt here?"
Sicang shook his head: "It doesn't hurt."
"Let me see."
Si Cang unfastened his clothes, turned around and squatted down.
Yun Zishu saw that the place where he had tattooed was red and swollen, and couldn't help but frown: "It doesn't look good."
"It's okay." Sicang stood up and comforted her, "It doesn't matter if it hurts a little."
Yun Zishu was worried: "It's a little swollen. What if it gets infected?"
Si Cang looked at the worry on her face and felt warm in his heart: "There is still wine in the house, I just need to wipe it myself."
Yun Zishu ignored him, stood up and called Leng Yue: "Let Xue Yi come over."
"yes."
Not long after, Xue Yi came as ordered and saluted respectfully: "Your Highness the Princess."
"Come in." Yun Zishu motioned Sicang to sit down and asked Xue Yi to look at his shoulders and back, "There's a little redness and swelling here. Please prescribe some medicine and apply it over here."
Xue Yi raised his eyes slightly, looking at the words tattooed on Sicang's shoulder and back, and his heart was slightly shaken.
Yun Zishu spoke calmly: "I don't want what you saw tonight to be passed on to the second person from your mouth."
Xue Yi hurriedly knelt down and said, "People's girls don't dare."
"Go ahead."
“Yes.”
"good."
Xue Yi bowed and left, and soon returned. Just as he was about to apply medicine to Sicang, he saw Yun Zishu reaching out and saying, "Give it to me."
"Yes." Xue Yi gave the ointment to Yun Zishu, "Just apply it twice a day, morning and evening. It is best to avoid spicy seafood during these two days."
Yun Zishu hummed.
After Xue Yi resigned, Si Cang was about to stand up, but Yun Zishu raised her hand to stop him and asked him to continue sitting in the chair, "I'll apply medicine for you."
Sicang sat down quietly and was silent for a while: "I don't mind being seen."
Yun Zishu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "If you don't mind, there is no need to publicize it to everyone."
If a man and a woman can get married together, they will be praised for being affectionate if they have a name on their shoulders. At the moment, they have no name or distinction. It is just the relationship between the princess and the shadow guard, so it is better not to make it extraneous.
"yes."
After applying the medicine carefully, Si Cang felt a little distracted when he felt the touch of his hands brushing his shoulders. He actually wished that the red and swollen area was bigger and more serious so that she could stay longer while applying the medicine.
However, Yun Zishu naturally didn't know what he was thinking. Applying the ointment was not a long process. Yun Zishu quickly put down the ointment and went to wash her hands. When she came back, she looked at Sicang's shoulders and said, "Sit down for a while.
, wait until the ointment is absorbed before putting on clothes."
Si Cang snorted.
Yun Zishu turned her head and looked at the night outside. Dark clouds appeared in the sky: "Tomorrow should not be a good weather."
"It hasn't rained for a long time." Sicang looked over and said in a calm voice, "It might as well rain again."
Yun Zishu listened to the meaning of his words and smiled lightly: "It's time for a heavy rain to cleanse the dirty air."
Yun Zishu poured a glass of water and handed it to him.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Sicang took it, "It's getting late. Your Highness, please go to bed early."
Yun Zishu nodded, turned around and walked into the inner hall: "Pan Xuzhi and An Huaishan are cousins. As soon as the news came out that the emperor was going to grant me a marriage, Yun Zijiao's invitation was sent over. What do you think?
Is there any connection?"
Sicang nodded: "Maybe."
Yun Zishu's voice was indifferent: "It's okay if Pan Xuzhi is just a mean talker. At most, I can teach him a lesson. But if he has other ulterior motives, he will kill the Xiping Hou Mansion with his own hands."
Si Cangdan said: "Your Highness, you don't need to think so much. The Xiping Hou Mansion and An Shangshu Mansion will die sooner or later."
"The Ministry of Personnel..." Yun Zishu leaned on the bedside and muttered, "Who should be promoted to the top?"
Sicang stood up, put on his clothes, and walked into the inner hall: "Does Your Highness have a suitable candidate in mind?"
Yun Zishu said nothing and closed her eyes in silence.
She thought of someone.
A man who is aloof and arrogant but tragic and unfortunate.
In his previous life, he reached the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs at a young age, with good knowledge and abilities. However, because his younger sister was spotted by the prince and wanted to be taken as a concubine, she was rejected and the whole family was accused and the outcome was not good.
It even affected Su Zhaoyi and her son in the palace.
At that time, Yun Zishu had just married Xiao Yunheng not long ago, and she could still hear some news from the outside, so she clearly remembered that this incident should happen... around May or June?
Yun Zishu frowned and thought for a moment, it was indeed the season to wear thin shirts.
It's late spring now, and if nothing else happens, this should happen soon.
"Sicang." Yun Zishu ordered, "In the next few days, you will have people keep an eye on the Su family's movements, especially Su Muchen and his sister Su Qingzhi."
