Chapter 115 This guy has a really good physique.
Sheng Sheng's intuition told her that it must be related to Empress Zheng.
But intuition is useless; evidence is.
These items were found in Empress Zheng's palace. They now know the truth: Cuilan is Empress Zheng's person.
However, these items are no longer in Kunning Palace. Even if she confronts Empress Zheng with these two items, Empress Zheng can still deny it.
Moreover, Xiao Hei broke the teapot in Empress Zheng's bedroom while trying to put out the fire. Caiyun is always observant, so she will definitely notice something is wrong.
"If I had known we would find something so useful, I should have had Xiao Hei bring it to Sheng Sheng right away." Sheng Sheng regretted it a little. "No, no, Sheng Sheng should have gone with Xiao Hei and shouted for others to come and see. That way, at least we wouldn't have had to go through the trouble of proving that these were found in Kunning Palace."
Zijuan comforted her, "Princess, think about it from a different perspective. At least now we have a direction, right? The official seal on every indenture is genuine. As long as we can find evidence to prove that this Granny Wu is Empress Zheng's person, or find something amiss with Granny Wu and the Niu family's deaths back then, we can make Empress Zheng speechless even if she wants to deny it!"
Zijuan is right. Although Empress Zheng may be prepared now, it is impossible to be completely thorough.
If she does something, she will definitely leave some trace.
"This servant believes that the most important thing right now is for Your Highness to increase the number of people in Yuqing Palace. After all, the other party is the Empress. What if Empress Zheng still wants to harm our princess?"
Zijuan was genuinely afraid that another assassin would break in.
What happened last time has scared Zijuan so much that she hasn't been able to sleep well for a long time and has been having nightmares for days.
In my dreams, I always see the scene of that day, with the sound of things falling to the ground and Cuilan holding a knife, about to stab me.
Every time she was startled awake, she would anxiously come from the side room to check on Shengsheng. Only when she saw that Shengsheng was sleeping soundly in the quilt would Zijuan feel at ease.
Sheng Sheng perked up again: "Alright! Let's not delay, let's quickly give these things to my brother and let him figure them out!"
"Alright, then this servant will put it away for the princess now?"
"Oh, no need, no need."
Sheng Sheng cleared her throat and called out to the rafters, "Brother Zhui Feng, where is my brother? There's something urgent here!"
Chasing the Wind: "..."
Zijuan was unaware that Shengsheng had been protected by bodyguards all along. When she saw Shengsheng talking to thin air, she looked up at the sky with some confusion.
It's completely empty; there's nothing there.
Zijuan asked blankly, "Princess, who are you talking to?"
After a while, there was still no movement on the roof beam, because Zhui Feng was thinking about whether or not to go down.
Zhu Yue leaned over and patted his shoulder: "Go ahead, Princess, I'll take care of things here. Hurry up and finish going to find His Highness, so I can go and inform His Majesty."
Zhui Feng paused for a moment: "...Don't say things you shouldn't say."
Zhu Yue raised an eyebrow: "What shouldn't be said? Like, did the princess hire a bunch of rats to cause chaos in Kunning Palace, or did the princess raise a group of animals comparable to the best spies in the palace?"
Zhui Feng stared at Zhu Yue silently. Zhu Yue spread her hands and said, "I am His Majesty's man. If His Majesty asks me, I will naturally not hide it."
This means that Zhu Yue wouldn't say it voluntarily, but if Xie Yuxiao asked him, he, as Xie Yuxiao's person, would definitely tell him everything he knew.
Zhui Feng knew that this was already the biggest concession Zhu Yue had made, and the duty of the secret guards was to give their lives without any concealment from their masters.
It's just that Zhu Yue was probably moved by Sheng Sheng's feelings for her young master, which is why she made such a concession.
Zhui Feng didn't say anything more, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Sheng Sheng.
Zijuan looked down and saw the person who had appeared out of nowhere. She was startled and cried out, "Ah! Don't come any closer!"
Zijuan quickly stepped in front of Shengsheng, spreading her arms to protect him, her body trembling as she confronted Zhuifeng.
Zhui Feng looked at her expressionlessly, his narrow eyes completely calm. After all, he had practiced martial arts for many years and had a very good physique. His all-black outfit accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist.
If we ignore the long sword at his waist.
Zijuan roughly compared the two men's physiques and mentally estimated how much time she could buy for the princess to escape if she rushed up and hugged him. But when she met Zhuifeng's cold and indifferent eyes, Zijuan felt like she was about to die.
Sheng Sheng peeked out from behind Zi Juan, blinked, glanced at Zhui Feng, and then at Zi Juan.
"Sister Zijuan, this..."
Sheng Sheng wanted to introduce Zhui Feng to Zi Zi Juan, but before she could finish speaking, Zi Juan closed her eyes and rushed forward with a look of grim determination, tightly hugging Zhui Feng and grabbing his hands, trying to prevent him from drawing his sword.
"Princess, don't worry about me, Princess, run!"
Sheng Sheng: Huh? (Confused face)
Chasing the Wind: Huh? (Shocked face)
Three children: Oh? (Eating melon seeds face)
Zhui Feng was startled by Zi Juan. His usually expressionless face showed a rare change in expression as he looked at Sheng Sheng with shock and a hint of confusion, silently asking her what to do.
Zijuan is a woman, so Zhuifeng doesn't push her away like he usually does with Zhuyue. Besides, his hand is being held tightly by her right now.
Sheng Sheng was both amused and exasperated. She gently tugged at Zi Juan and said, "Sister Zi Juan, he's not an assassin, he's Brother Zhui Feng! Zhui Feng is the bodyguard that Brother arranged to protect Sheng Sheng."
Zijuan suddenly opened her tightly closed eyes and looked down: "Ah...?"
Sheng Sheng: "Mmm, Sister Zijuan, I was just about to tell you something, but you were too fast, I didn't even get a chance to finish. I was talking to Zhuifeng, he usually hides on the roof or in a tree!"
Zijuan listened blankly to her words before realizing that she had just been thinking about the scene of Shengsheng being assassinated, and suddenly became a little overreacted.
"Cough cough."
Zhui Feng coughed lightly, and Zi Juan turned around to meet his cold yet slightly embarrassed gaze.
Zhui Feng looked down at her hand, which was being held tightly, and gestured for her to let go.
"ah."
Zijuan was startled again, as if his hand was as hot as boiling water and she had been burned, and quickly let go of his hand.
Then she realized she was still close to him, so she immediately jumped away.
Thinking about what embarrassing thing she had just done, Zijuan was too embarrassed to look up, her face flushed red, and her mind was in a whirl.
Not an assassin, the alarm bells ringing in Zijuan's heart quieted down.
While feeling awkward, it's also easy to get distracted.
Are all martial artists like this? It feels like his whole body is hard and stiff, and he could knock her out with one punch.
Wow, this person has a really good figure...
