On this side, out of Lianxiang's sight, Shanshu looked back in the direction of the pavilion, with a shrewd glint in his eyes. Fortunately, An Tingyu had seen through Lianxiang's thoughts a long time ago and knew that Lianxiang would definitely find a way to see his face clearly, so they decided to take advantage of the situation and let Lianxiang be a witness for him. Then everyone would know that there was a masked and incomplete guard beside An Tingyu.
but……
Shan Shu touched his masked face and smiled slightly. "I didn't expect this girl's makeup skills were so amazing. She can actually make fake things look real. I wonder how many times she has fooled me before?"
Shanshu also remembered that An Tingyu took Dang Yan to Yihongyuan to investigate a case. In fact, An Tingyu's makeup was really perfect at that time. At least when Lianxiang showed him the portrait, he really did recognize that the person was An Tingyu. It was because Lianxiang mentioned Dang Yan that he discovered a problem, that is, Dang Yan would not obey orders from others, so he guessed that the person was An Tingyu.
But what if Dang Yan is not there?
Wouldn't it be easy for An Tingyu to deceive him?
So apart from that time, has An Tingyu ever lied to him again?
This question is worth pondering!
It was late at night and everyone was asleep. The moon peeked through the clouds, adding a hazy poetic touch to the dark night. However, under this poetic moonlight, screams came from Prince Jing's Mansion.
"ah--"
“Ghost!”
Jing Qingwu's scream startled all the servants in the palace. Her personal maid Zhen'er rushed in from outside, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
"Ghost... There is a ghost, I saw it, it's so scary!" Jing Qingwu, who has always been bold and playful, was frightened and her whole body was shaking. It seems that even if this girl is not afraid of anything, she is still afraid of gods and ghosts.
Upon hearing this, Zhen'er was also startled. She looked around in panic, but didn't see any ghosts. "Princess, are you seeing something wrong? There are no ghosts in this world."
"No, I wasn't mistaken. I saw it clearly. It was a woman in white clothes with disheveled hair. I couldn't see her face clearly, but she... she was bleeding from all seven orifices. I watched her... watched her slowly walk past my bed. When I came to my senses, she was gone. So it's real, Zhen'er. I didn't lie to you."
"Okay, okay, Princess, don't panic. Zhen'er believes you," Zhen'er soothed her. As she spoke, she raised her voice again, "Someone come! Hurry and report to the An Mansion. Have the prince return!"
…
"What? Haunted?"
After receiving the notification, Jing Aotian woke up from his sleep, and then looked at An Tingyu.
"There are no ghosts in this world. If there really are ghosts, it must be someone causing trouble. This matter can be a big deal or a small one. Aotian, you should go back quickly! Qingwu must be very frightened. Go back and comfort her." An Tingyu said.
"Okay, then I'll go back. You can continue sleeping!" Jing Aotian quickly put on his clothes, kissed her on the face, and then left quickly.
After Jing Aotian left, An Tingyu was no longer sleepy.
The Jing Palace was haunted and Jing Qingwu was frightened. This was somewhat her responsibility. If it weren't for her, Jing Aotian wouldn't be living in the An Mansion. If Jing Aotian didn't live in the An Mansion, no one would dare to cause trouble in the Jing Palace. So it was also her fault. I hope that girl didn't suffer any sequelae from this.
An Tingyu sat up from the bed and lit the lamp. She wanted to look at the accounts at the desk, but just as she lit the lamp, a gust of wind blew out her oil lamp.
An Tingyu was startled and secretly on guard, "Who?"
The wind came too strangely, it was not a natural wind, because this was her room, and the wind outside could not blow out her lamp, not to mention that there was no wind tonight, so it was caused by internal force.
As soon as An Tingyu finished speaking, a black figure appeared under the moonlight and stood at the window.
Through the moonlight, An Tingyu could only see a vague figure. Judging from her figure, the assassin was a woman.
woman?
Female ghost?
An Tingyu curled her lips coldly, thinking of something, "You really put a lot of thought into it! One moment it's the Jing Palace that's haunted, and the next moment there's an assassin here. The haunting is just to lure Aotian away, and your purpose is actually to kill me, right?"
"You are very smart, but no matter how smart you are, you will die!"
A sword shadow flashed in the moonlight, and the female assassin raised her sword and attacked An Tingyu.
An Tingyu slightly turned sideways, and the sharp sword pierced past her ear. She flicked her little finger and deflected the sword. Seeing that the first sword failed, the female assassin swung the sword back. An Tingyu turned over and crossed the table, and the sword shadow passed through her abdomen.
"What hatred do I have against you? If you want to kill me, you have to let me die knowingly, right?" An Tingyu said as she dodged the sharp sword.
The voice and figure of this female assassin reminded An Tingyu of someone, Lianxiang. The voice and figure were too similar to Lianxiang's. Moreover, Lianxiang had a purpose in entering the An Mansion. Could this be her purpose?
But is Lianxiang now pursuing personal revenge or national hatred?
Lianxiang's master is dead. Logically, she should return to Chen State and continue to serve Zhen State, but she did not go back. Instead, she tried every means to enter An Mansion, so she wanted to know why.
"If you want to know, go ask the King of Hell!" The voice was extremely cold, and his hatred for An Tingyu was clearly revealed.
"It seems that you don't intend to tell me. In that case, I'm sorry, but I don't intend to lose my life." An Tingyu suddenly became indifferent. She had been avoiding you, but suddenly she became domineering and fierce. Her moves were ruthless. After a while, the female assassin was hit by her palm.
