Xuanyuan Jin didn't see the eunuch come back for a long time, so he walked out to find out.
When he saw the eunuch dead in the alley outside the back door, he couldn't help but be stunned - with his martial arts skills, he couldn't catch a woman who was eavesdropping and was killed?!
Especially when he saw the fatal wound, the cold light in his eyes rose even more. Who... was that person?
Clenching his fists, Xuanyuan Jin hesitated for a long time, and finally ordered his subordinates to dispose of the eunuch's body and keep a low profile. As for tomorrow's plan, he had to launch it because the arrow was on the string!
Even if the plan was heard, he would like to see who has the ability to break the plan?
Su Tong ran all the way until she reached a secluded river, where she stopped to take a breath.
Fortunately, no one caught up!
She felt a sticky feeling on her neck. When she reached out and touched it, she almost screamed - it was all sticky and full of blood!
Fortunately, none of it was fresh blood. The blood that had just shed should have started to solidify.
After exhaling a breath, Su Tong felt a little relieved. She slowly walked to the river and observed the wound on her neck from the reflection.
"Fortunately, it's just a scratch on the skin..." She looked carefully and murmured to herself. She was lost in thought when she suddenly saw a man with a silver mask in the reflection, standing coldly behind her.
,"ah……"
Su Tong was startled, exclaimed, and accidentally leaned towards the river.
Damn it! She finally realized what it means to have a bad year!
She had closed her eyes and was ready for close contact with the cold river water, but her waist tightened suddenly, her body was pulled back, and she stood firmly by the river again.
"Are you okay?" the man said calmly, his voice deliberately pretending to be hoarse.
"Thank you... thank you!" Su Tong took a deep breath, adjusted her nervousness, and added half-jokingly, "If you make a little noise when you walk, I will be more grateful."
"Ha..." With a sneer, the man handed over a bamboo tube filled with water. He raised his eyebrows and gestured, "Take it and wash it."
If she doesn't wash it, it will look really shocking on her neck!
Su Tong took the bamboo tube in his hand blankly, her eyes couldn't help but be filled with gratitude, and her heart couldn't help but be filled with guilt - she seemed too small!
He is her savior! He has helped her so many times! Not to mention standing behind her, even standing above her, she shouldn't have any complaints!
"Um..." Su Tong suddenly spoke up while wiping the blood on his neck, trying to change the slightly depressing atmosphere, "Did you shake open that knife just now?"
He didn't answer, but looked at her quietly, seeming to be focusing on her neck, observing her injuries.
"Hey!" Su Tong's voice became louder, she raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, and added with a smile, "Why do you want to save me?"
She had a bold guess: This man probably knew her! So it was necessary for her to test it out.
"Passing by." He spat out the two words carefully.
"But this isn't the one time, you can't pass by again, right?" Su Tong said reluctantly and hurriedly responded.
The man stopped talking and stared at her quietly for two seconds with his deep eyes. Finally he stood up and left directly - Xuanyuan Hao was not stupid, so he naturally noticed that she was testing him!
And he would naturally not give her a chance to discover her identity!
"Hey!" Su Tong stood up, chased him two steps, and shouted pitifully at his back, "You are a good person who will do your best to the end, can you lend me some money?"
His back paused, neither moving forward nor turning around, as if he was wondering what she wanted the money for.
"I just made a fortune, hired a carriage, and used up all the money..." Su Tong told the truth, "Now I want to buy a silk scarf or something to cover my neck..."
Otherwise, she would walk back with blood dripping from her face!
The man moved. Although he still didn't turn around, Su Tong could tell that he was probably taking the money bag.
So she took the opportunity to shamelessly come up to her, and held up her little hand in an awkward manner: "Don't worry, I will definitely return it to you! How about you tell me your name and where is your home? I can deliver it to your door..."
"No need to pay it back!" Xuanyuan Hao put a piece of silver into her hand and left directly past her.
Want to find out my name and residence? Su Tong, you'd better save it!
Su Tong held a large ingot of silver in his hands and watched him go away helplessly before frowning and coming back to his senses - he just wanted to borrow some money to buy a silk scarf, that's all! It seemed like he didn't buy it often.
People who don’t have money have no concept of spending money! And they “borrowed” so much at once!
To put it all together, although we can't know who he is, we can still guess his identity - he is either rich or noble!
At dusk, Su Tong strode into the Three Princes' Mansion, swinging a bag of broken silver.
She bought a white silk scarf, which she is currently tying around her neck, looking elegant. She also bought a lot of silver needles, which... are of course useful!
When she stepped in from the front door, she found that the key face turned green instantly, which made Su Tong feel even more dismayed - look! She can disappear unknowingly and come back arrogantly...
House arrest? This is just your behavior to piss yourself off!
"Princess!" Although his face was ugly, the butler still maintained his respect on the surface, and after saluting, he said, "Your Majesty has been waiting for you in the other courtyard for a long time!"
