"Master, half an hour ago, that man left Chongyang Marquis, and the direction he went to was the Grand Sima Mansion."
"My subordinates fought with him, injured one of his arms, and deliberately let him go."
Xiao Mingxuan stood in front of the window, his eyes stern.
"Send someone to guard him and not allow him to step out of Da Sima's mansion."
"yes."
Qin Yin got the order and turned around to leave again.
At the same time, inside the Jade Cuixuan of Da Sima Mansion.
Hu Bingyu took medicine and her high fever subsided. Although she was in low spirits and her face was pale, she was still much better than when she passed out last night and didn't know what was going on.
"Miss, this slave deserves to die. Didn't you complete the task assigned by the eldest lady?"
Behind the heavy curtain, a man in black was kneeling on the ground. The clothes on his arms were punctured, and the flesh was turned out. The red flesh was obviously sprinkled with powder to stop bleeding, and it was red and white.
When Hu Bingyu, who was lying on the bed, heard this, her eyes were filled with frost, she stood up and gritted her teeth.
"Do you know that because of your mistake, all my hard work was wasted?"
"Originally it was Luo Jiuli who suffered humiliation and died, but what happened? He made wedding clothes for her."
"Ahem!!"
When I thought about Luo Jiuli's body being shaken by a thousand steps, he stayed in the Jiuwang Mansion.
Hu Bingyu's whole heart was filled with rage.
Jealousy, resentment, and unwillingness began to distort her beautiful face.
Even the coughing sound was filled with determination and hatred.
The man in black kneeling behind the curtain looked stagnant, especially after hearing Hu Bingyu's cough, a trace of inexplicable heartache flashed in his eyes.
"Miss, this slave deserves to die. I am at your disposal, but please put your body first."
"The eldest lady has just woken up, and the fever has just dissipated. Because of the slave's mistake, the eldest lady is worried. It is the slave who deserves to die, the slave deserves to die."
Early in the morning, he heard that the eldest lady was frightened. Not only was she unconscious, she also had a high fever. Even the palace doctor was invited into the Grand Sima's mansion.
He began to worry and worry endlessly.
He wanted to see her and protect her, even if it was just from a distance.
He knew that he was just a lowly secret guard, a shadow protecting the safety of the eldest lady, and the person least qualified to stand behind the eldest lady and accompany her.
However, the human heart is not a plant.
From the first moment he saw the eldest lady's charming smile and extremely beautiful face.
He knew he couldn't escape.
No one can escape the eldest lady’s talent and beauty.
On the side, Zi Wen quickly brought water and served Hu Bingyu to drink it.
She originally wanted to persuade him, but she opened her mouth and really didn't dare to mention Luo Jiuli's name.
She knew that the eldest lady's hatred for Luo Jiuli was like two people who were born to be incompatible with each other. She wanted to tear that woman to pieces.
Especially after the failure that night, the word Luo Jiuli became a taboo in Jade Cuixuan.
After Hu Bingyu sent out the evil fire, she seemed to realize that it was inconsistent with her personality.
Taking two deep breaths, the fingers that were clenching the corners of the quilt seemed to be deformed, but he still controlled his voice to calm down.
"Why are you back? Didn't I ask you to hide in Chongyang Marquis Mansion for two more days?"
"Replying to the eldest lady, I heard that the eldest lady was frightened last night and was worried. I was worried that others could not protect the eldest lady."
The majestic Grand Sima Mansion was thrown in by outsiders like a half-dead 'corpse' into an uninhabited land. This was not only a provocation to the Grand Sima Mansion, but also a humiliation to the secret guards like them.
"Then when you return home, are you being followed?"
The black-clad secret guard looked down at his injured arm.
"I was followed by someone on the way, and my sword was used. Fortunately, the person escaped before the battle, and I was able to return home."
"But don't worry, eldest lady, the servant only came back after throwing off his tail."
"Drop your tail? You are confused. I'm afraid the person you are fighting with is from the Ninth Prince's Palace or the Duke's Palace."
Hu Bingyu clutched the hand that was tied up and trembled uncontrollably. Her face was filled with an inexplicable expression, and her eyes moved back and forth, as if she was planning something.
"Let's go, you leave Da Sima's Mansion immediately."
The black-clothed secret guard who was kneeling on the ground suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of disbelief, but when he thought of the gap in his status, he lowered his head unwillingly.
Behind the curtain, Hu Bingyu's voice sounded again.
"This matter can be big or small. If the Yiguo government investigates and catches you, have you thought about the consequences?"
"It would be okay if it was just a righteous government, but I am afraid that the Ninth Prince will interfere in this matter."
"Although I didn't come forward, after all, you are the person beside me."
The words "You are the person by my side" made the dark guard in black suddenly soften his eyes.
"Don't worry, Miss. I know what to do. Even if I am really caught, I will never let those people hurt Miss."
After the black-clothed secret guard finished speaking, he kowtowed solemnly and glanced at the figure behind the curtain with a lingering look.
Immediately, he stood up and pushed the door open.
However, he would not have thought that what he would step into would be an abyss.
——
Early in the morning, the coldness of late autumn swept down the last fallen leaves in the capital, leaving a layer of fog hazy and psychedelic.
Luo Jiuli was forcefully dug out of bed by Nan Zhu and Nan Xing.
"What are you two doing? I don't have to practice or get up early."
Luo Jiuli rubbed his groggy eyes and looked out the foggy window with no sunlight at all, expressing his protest.
"Master, the Ninth Prince is here?"
"Master, the Ninth Prince said he would take you to see a big show."
stare!
Luo Jiuli suddenly became energetic and his eyes widened.
"The Nine Kings are here, where is he?"
Nan Zhu smiled.
"Are you waiting at the alley outside the mansion for the master to meet you?"
"Hurry up! Get me my clothes and some water for washing."
She can sleep anytime and anywhere, and she doesn't have to work anyway.
But it’s not every day that you can watch a big show.
Nan Xing, Nan Zhu and Chun Rong were also in a hurry.
In the alley outside the Duke's Mansion, Xiao Mingxuan, who had been waiting for a long time, finally saw Luo Jiuli, who had arrived late.
"I woke you up so early in the morning, but it was hard for you."
Xiao Mingxuan reached out and pulled her over, sitting next to him.
Luo Jiuli shook his head.
"I'm much happier than you who have to go to the morning court every day before dawn."
Xiao Mingxuan smiled and looked at the wall of the car. The wheels were rolling and they were out of the alley.
"Nan Xing, Nan Zhu said, do you want to take me to the theater? What theater? Where to watch?"
Xiao Mingxuan put his arm around her shoulders.
"You'll know when we get there."
——
At this time, outside Da Sima's mansion.
The guards brought by Qin Yin surrounded all the entrances and exits of Da Sima's Mansion, and the momentum was huge, attracting the attention of some early risers.
At the door, Mrs. Hu, who was dressed in a sapphire blue lightly textured peony ball, stood outside the door with the guards from Da Sima's mansion, confronting Qin Yin.
"You are just a dog slave from the Ninth Prince's Mansion. How dare you bring so many people to our Great Sima Mansion to run wild? You are like a bear's heart and a leopard's courage??"
