The rooms of the Wenxuan Palace's Masters were all coiled up, and there was no need to burn charcoal at night, it was very warm. Logically speaking, no matter how Xuan Tiange slept, it was impossible for her to feel cool. But tonight, this feeling came over her, causing her to flip around a few times, and in the end, she had no choice but to sit up on the bed, calling for the maidservant on night watch: "Han-er, look, isn't the coils not warm anymore, why is it so cold?"
There was a maidservant on night watch beside the Princess' bed, the maidservant was nestled there with a blanket, as long as the Master called, she would immediately respond. But the strange thing was, Xuan Tiange called a few times and waited for a while, but she did not hear the maidservant's response, and there was no movement.
"Han-er, why are you sleeping so soundly?" She frowned, lifting the curtain and looking down, she saw that the girl was sleeping soundly, and there was even a light snoring sound, sleeping even more soundly than her Master. She reached out and pushed down a few times, calling again: "Han-er, wake up, Han-er!" However, that maidservant did not react at all, still sleeping soundly.
Xuan Tiange suddenly felt that something was off, this Huan-er was her personal maidservant and had been with her for many years. She had always been the most reliable when doing things, how could she suddenly sleep even more soundly than her during night watch? This was something that had never happened before. Did Han-er fall sick? Or did an accident happen?
Just as she was thinking, at this time, laughter suddenly came from the middle of the room, she was shocked, raising her head to take a look, but in the dark night, there was a man in a brocade robe standing in the middle of her room, he looked to be in his twenties, wearing a light yellow winter robe that made him look very noble, his facial features were sharp, and he was a person with outstanding looks. She felt that this person was a little familiar, but in this kind of situation, she was shocked, how could she be in the mood to analyse where she had seen him before?
Xuan Tiange cautiously retreated, then grabbed the long robe next to the bed to wrap herself up, only then did she look around her surroundings, discovering that other than this man, there was no one else who appeared, it looked like the other party was alone, but she did not know if there were any accomplices in the dark. She asked warily: "Who are you? Why are you barging into This Princess' bedroom in the middle of the night? "
She didn't know whether she should scream or not. If she screamed, she was afraid that the other party would kill her before anyone came to save her. After all, a person who was able to enter her room under the watchful eyes of the secret guards outside the room and successfully knock out her maidservant, such a person's skills must not be bad. Moreover, an unmarried princess had her bedroom invaded by a man in the middle of the night. This was not a pleasant thing to say, and it was hard to say what would happen if word got out. But how could he not shout? Could she deal with this person?
Xuan Tiange was very conflicted. At the same time, she was also very afraid. Although this man did not seem to have any ill intentions, his eyes were filled with danger no matter how one looked at them. They were as sharp as a poisonous snake, piercing straight into one's heart.
She took a deep breath and asked, "Speak. Since you're here, you should at least let this princess know who you are."
After she finished speaking, the man finally spoke. His voice was very pleasant to the ears. It was a little feminine, but it didn't sound feminine. "I just came to see if the Princess of Dashun is doing well, and if she remembers me, an old friend," he said.
Old friend? Xuan Tiange was stunned and looked carefully, but the more she looked, the more familiar she felt. It was just that this person did not look like the Han people of Dashun. He looked more like the people of Gu Shu in Da Mo. Once she thought of Gu Shu, her eyes lit up, blurting out: "It's you?"
He was indeed someone she knew, but he could not be considered a friend. Xuan Tiange remembered. When she came to Da Mo to attend the wedding of Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tianming, she entered Da Mo a few days in advance, but she saved a heavily injured person from the streets one afternoon. Actually, it could not be considered saving. That person was covered in blood and collapsed by the side of the road. He just begged her to invite a doctor and leave some money. Xuan Tiange thought that since Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tianming were about to get married, it would be better if this sort of person did not appear on the streets, so she left him 20 taels of silver and went to the medical hall to call a doctor to take care of him. She had only met him a few times, but she had a deep impression of the injured person. Because even though that person was in a sorry state, the material of his clothes looked to be of good quality, his identity was either rich or noble. In addition, he looked like a typical person from Gu Shu, causing her to take a few more looks. At that time, she also suspected that person's identity, but it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. She had just arrived and had to go back after a few days. There was no need for her to care about other people's business.
But unexpectedly, a few months later, this person actually came to the capital of Dashun and even snuck into her room in the middle of the night. She was a little angry, but because she knew him, her fear lessened greatly. She asked the other party: "Why did you come to Dashun? Who exactly are you? " After saying this, she could not help but look him up and down, then asked in confusion: "The injuries on your body, are they all healed? You were quite badly injured back then. "
A smile appeared on that person's face, the corners of his lips curling up wickedly. He looked a little like Xuan Tianming's evil charm. He said: "Thanks to Princess Wuyang's help, they are all healed. And the reason why I came to Dashun is mainly to see my benefactor, are you having a good time in Dashun? "
"Of course This Princess is happy!" Xuan Tiange rolled her eyes, "This is my home, I am Dashun's princess, who dares to make me unhappy? Your worries are a little unnecessary, right? Also, the two of us do not have such a deep relationship, your reason is too fake and does not hold water. " She shook her head, denying that person saying that he came to see her. At the same time, she thought of the matter in the imperial palace. Earlier, she said that no one dared to make her unhappy, but in reality, she had been unhappy for the past few months!
Seeing Xuan Tiange's face fall, this state fell into the man's eyes, and a trace of worry appeared. He asked Xuan Tiange: "Did someone bully you?"
"What does this have to do with you?" Xuan Tiange scolded him with a dark expression: "Do you know what crime it is to barge into a Princess' room at night? Why are you not leaving quickly, are you waiting for This Princess to call someone to arrest you? "
She believed that she spoke very harshly, even though she was very curious about the other party's identity and goal, she still felt that it was best to send him away first, it was a little scary in the middle of the night. But after she said this, what she received was a sneer from the other party, he said: "There are a total of four hidden guards outside your room, there are two servants keeping watch at night in the courtyard, there is this sleeping maid in the room, in addition to the personal guards and guards of Wen Xuan Palace, there are many people here, and none of these people can stop me, do you think, who else can you call to arrest me?"
Xuan Tiange inhaled sharply, the feeling of danger from earlier came again, causing her to feel even colder. She subconsciously shrank back, hugging the blanket with both hands, she knew that this would not provide any protection, but she still wanted to fight for a little more security for herself.
That person stood on the spot without moving, his gaze always looking at her, only when he saw the fear in Xuan Tiange's eyes did he feel some regret. What was he doing? Scaring her? This was not his intention. Therefore, the evil charm in his gaze was slightly restrained, his entire aura also changed a little, his expression calmed down, no longer looking so sinister. He originally wore a black cloak over his light yellow long robe, even though it was already April in Dashun, to him, the temperature at night was still a little too cold, so he had to wear more. The hood of the black cloak covered his head, only revealing his face, looking mysterious and scary. At this moment, he took off the hood of the cloak, when he looked at Xuan Tiange again, he looked even more similar to when Xuan Tiange saved him in Da Mo.
"I did not mean to scare you." He took the initiative to speak, his tone also becoming much more normal, "I came to Dashun capital to do something, but wanting to see you was also sincere, after all, you saved my life, we Gu Shu people place a lot of importance on saving our lives." He did not hide where he came from, after all, the two met in Da Mo, and with his appearance, it was very clear that he was a foreigner, he could not hide it even if he wanted to.
Xuan Tiange's emotions gradually calmed down due to the change in his aura, she wanted to say that he could leave now that he had seen her, but what she blurted out was a very curious question: "What did you come to Dashun to do?" Thinking a little more, she remembered that the new ruler of Gu Shu was going to visit, so she guessed: "You are one of the new ruler of Gu Shu? Did you come with him? " After saying this, she shook her head to herself, "No, no, he should still be on the way and will not arrive so quickly, then you should be the vanguard, entering the capital first to scout. Un, this is normal, after all, the new ruler is visiting, Dashun and Gu Shu are not on good terms, sending someone in to take a look is normal. "
That person felt that her reasoning was interesting, so he crossed his arms in front of him and continued to listen, until Xuan Tiange finished her analysis, she added: "But the new ruler chose to come to Dashun at this time, I don't know if he is a friend or foe. Currently, the Eighth Prince is in power in Dashun, and Gu Shu's previous general had a very good relationship with the Eighth Prince. Thinking about it, there should be many remnants of that general in Gu Shu, and it's possible that the new ruler is secretly supporting the Eighth Brother. Therefore, you chose to come to Dashun at this time, I'm afraid that you want to help the Eighth Brother, right? "
That person shook his head very happily, telling her: "No, that's not the case, the new ruler does not know your Eighth Prince at all and does not have any good feelings towards him. On the contrary, if it was not for the Eighth Prince's instigation, would Gu Shu have lost a few important cities? Therefore, the new ruler hates him too much, how could he help him, Princess is thinking too much. "
"Really?" Xuan Tiange's eyes shone brightly, and she became excited, not caring about being afraid, leaning forward slightly and asking anxiously: "Is what you said true? Gu Shu really has a grudge with the Eighth Brother? "
That person nodded, "Really." Just as he was about to say something, his ears suddenly perked up, then he put his index finger to his lips to make a shushing motion, then lowered his voice and said to Xuan Tiange: "Someone is coming this way, I will be leaving first, we will meet again if we are fated." After saying this, his figure flashed, disappearing on the spot in the blink of an eye.
Before Xuan Tiange could recover, the person outside had already arrived at the door, it was a maidservant's voice: "Princess, are you the one speaking? Is something the matter? "
