Cuiyun Palace Sleeping Hall

Zong Zheng Xiaoting took off her heavy palace attire and undid her bun, letting her long hair fall down like a waterfall. Under the flickering light, her slender and lonely figure was reflected on the window. Zong Zheng Xiaoting sighed deeply, wrapped himself in his cloak, and walked out of the bedroom in an irritable manner, wandering aimlessly in Cuiyun Palace.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting, who was full of worries, took one step at a time, slowly and slowly.

On her oval face, she has bright eyes, white teeth and charming eyes.

The only flaw is the sad look on her face, which makes people want to wipe away the worry between her brows.

"Ah..." Zong Zheng Xiaoting sighed. Regardless of the gradually colder weather and his tiredness from walking, he sat directly on the steps of the side hall, bent his knees, squatted down, hugged his knees, and rested his little face on his knees.

I looked up at the bright moon. It had only been a short while but I already felt that it was getting difficult to take a step.

I am just a princess, a pampered princess at that, yet I am still so defenseless. So, how did my aunt survive all these years in this cruel palace?

"It is true, just like a marquis's mansion is like the sea. From now on, Xiao Lang is just a passerby." Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the bright moon, feeling full of emotion.

The sound of "clang" was very harsh in this quiet empty courtyard.

It was this sound that made Zong Zheng Xiaoting notice the presence of a dark shadow deep in the rockery not far away.

"Who is it?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting frowned, obviously unhappy. Just when he was finding a rare opportunity to organize his thoughts, an uninvited guest suddenly showed up to disturb him.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting approached the rockery cautiously, and suddenly he felt a gust of wind blowing. Before he could recover, someone covered his mouth.

With his eyes wide open in fear, Zong Zheng Xiaoting quickly suppressed his anxiety.

At this time, you must stay calm!

That's right, the more you struggle, the more uneasy the criminals will become. Once they become uneasy, you will be the one to die.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's reaction made the man in black look slightly fixed. Under the moonlight, a hint of surprise could be vaguely seen in his dark blue eyes.

"Why don't you scream? Why don't you struggle?" A teasing smile and a low, yet magnetic voice came from behind.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting, with his mouth covered, rolled his eyes suddenly, cursing in his heart: You cooperated but still complain, you are sick!

However, Zong Zheng Xiaoting could only shrug his shoulders in response.

However, little did she know that this reaction made the man more interested. His blue eyes flickered and he chuckled. She was indeed a smart woman. Anyone else would have either kept silent or tried to break away and speak up at this time. However, this woman reacted so calmly.

A pill was quickly stuffed into Zong Zheng Xiaoting's mouth, and then the man's deep voice was heard again.

"You'd better be as obedient as you were just now, otherwise this poison will be enough to kill you."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting narrowed his eyes slightly. Another drug!

Am I just unlucky, or is this year just too old for me?

It's only been a few days, and I was poisoned by three people in succession for no apparent reason. Each of them acted like a big shot and threatened with my life!

Isn’t this human life not a life?

The most important thing is that he actually dared to touch her, Zong Zheng Xiaoting!

You know, what Zong Zheng Xiaoting can't tolerate the most, besides being robbed, is being threatened!

The way to make yourself happy is to make your enemy unhappy!

Zong Zheng Xiaoting chuckled, "Why does everyone think that this is the best way to kill someone? What's the joy of living, and what's the sorrow of dying? Sometimes, not everyone is afraid of death. Don't you know that there are women in the deep palace who want to die but can't?"

The moonlight was as bright as water, draped over Zong Zheng Xiaoting's cascading hair. Only the snow-white cloak wrapped around her frail body. Her face could not be seen, yet she had an air of pride and elegance.

There was an obvious touch in her dark blue eyes about Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words.

Under the mask, his brows were furrowed. What joy is there in life, and what sorrow is there in death? Is there anyone who is as fearless as himself?

The sword wound on the man's shoulder was bleeding, but his eyes were always looking at the person with his back to him, as if he was curious and puzzled about Zong Zheng Xiaoting's behavior and words.

At this moment, the originally silent night was brightly lit.

It seemed that a guard was searching for something.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting lowered his head, but saw faint traces of water on the ground. He suddenly became puzzled. Following the water traces, he slowly turned around, raised his eyes, and bumped into a deep eye.

I glanced at the man's shoulder and saw that it was not water stains, but blood stains!

"No matter how high your martial arts skills are, I'm afraid you're at the end of your rope. Otherwise, I wouldn't have discovered your whereabouts... You hurriedly covered my mouth and gave me medicine just now because you've reached your limit." Zong Zheng Xiaoting said affirmatively.

"So?" The voice was indifferent and distant.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting stared into the man's eyes, but saw that his eyes were still calm and fearless.

This kind of bearing is definitely not found in ordinary people.

Either he was sure of his escape, or he had other plans.

In this case, why not take advantage of it and curry favor with others?

Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised his lips and smiled, "How about we make a deal?"
