Chapter 17: Scare
"Where are the people?"
She suddenly opened her eyes, her body suddenly became lighter, the quilt that was tightly covering her disappeared, and the voice of a strange man was in her ears.
Shen Tingyu had foolishly been covered by the quilt once before. After that, she always slept in this position in the corner. As long as she stood up, she could lift the quilt and would never be trapped by the quilt again.
At this moment, she fell out of the quilt and onto the bed. A man in night clothes stood in front of her bed, casting a huge shadow over her. She opened her eyes and looked at the sharp dagger in his hand.
He suddenly felt cold all over and wanted to kill her!
If the killer hadn't known that the rag doll was her own imperial master, she would have been killed by the man's dagger at this moment.
She was trembling with fear and wanted to hide quietly in the corner under the bed.
She moved her body little by little, but because she was worried that the assassin would discover that she was alive and able to move, her speed was as slow as a snail.
She didn't expect that someone would come to assassinate her!
Could it be that Feng Ruonan was arrested and imprisoned, and wanted to drag her down with him before he died?
Or was it because she told Lord Sun in the court today that his beloved wife's bellyband was secretly worn by a political enemy, which made him lose face.
Or maybe she had offended some important person inadvertently and offended someone?
Whoever it was, she hadn't expected it.
However, with a bang, some hidden weapon flew in from the window.
The short arrow was shot out quickly, breaking the tranquility of the night. The man in black frowned and swiftly turned his body sideways. The short arrow narrowly brushed past his shoulder, leaving a light blood mark.
It was obvious that the short arrow was heading towards the heart of the man in black.
Following the direction of the arrow, she saw An Chi with a serious face.
She was stunned for a moment, and her eyes were full of hope when she looked at An Chi.
The body moves faster and faster. Quick! Hide quickly.
An Chi rushed forward with a long sword in hand, shouting, "Come here, there's an assassin."
However, outside the yard was quiet, as quiet as death, with no movement at all.
Shen Tingyu slapped his forehead, feeling a little annoyed.
Because she had told the palace servants not to approach her yard, there wasn't even a single soldier guarding outside her yard.
At this critical moment, when she needed protection, there was no one outside except An Chi.
The room was completely dark; it was bedtime, without even a candlelight. In the darkness, An Chi and the assassin engaged in a fight. The two were evenly matched, and for a moment, it was difficult to tell who was the better of them.
The man in black was very skilled. He did not want to fight and after being discovered, he fought and retreated, while An Chi kept clinging to him and did not let him escape.
The fight between them was very fast and tense, and Shen Tingyu was a little nervous.
Suddenly the man in black seized the opportunity, sprinkled out the sleeping pills, and tried to escape through the window.
An Chi had already held her breath, but she still inhaled some of the drug. She shook her head, gathered her composure, and her voice began to waver: "How can I allow you to escape safely in the palace?"
She swung a sharp sword, hitting the man's vitals, and held on to the man in black, refusing to let him get close to the window and escape through it.
The man in black was startled. He didn't have much time to fight with An Chi anymore and just wanted to get away quickly. So he deliberately took An Chi's sword but avoided the vital parts, and then swung a palm at him at a very close distance.
An Chi was knocked out and both were injured, but the man in black gained a chance to escape.
Shen Tingyu was extremely worried when he saw An Chi injured and spitting blood.
"Don't even think about escaping!" An Chi chased him relentlessly, refusing to let him leave easily.
The murderous intent in the black-clothed man's eyes grew stronger, and at this time, the drug that An Chi inhaled began to take effect, and his resolute eyes began to gradually become blurred.
An Chi's subtle abnormality was first discovered by Shen Tingyu, who was always paying attention to her.
She paced back and forth anxiously, thinking to herself: Oh no! An Chi is in danger!
While the man in black was not paying attention, Shen Tingyu was very fast. She climbed onto the table skillfully, pushed a precious colored glass lamp to the ground, and then quickly hid behind the potted plant on another table.
The sound of the glass cup falling and shattering caught the attention of the man in black.
He instantly became alert, looking around, his ruthless eyes fixed on the debris on the ground, "Someone come out."
"Who disturbs my quiet cultivation?"
Shen Tingyu pretended to be annoyed after being disturbed, and his voice was cold with a hint of dangerous anger: “It turned out that a mouse came into the room.”
Taking advantage of the objects to cover her voice, she ran around the room while speaking, creating a mysterious feeling that the sound was everywhere.
The man in black froze in his place. He was indeed puzzled, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who is playing tricks? Come out, I see you."
Shen Tingyu raised her eyes and saw the man in black looking in the opposite direction of her. She knew in her heart that he was deceiving her.
"Aren't you here to kill me? How come you don't know who I am?"
She chuckled softly, and the bell-like laughter echoed in the room. It was particularly creepy in the dark night, making people feel creepy.
The black-clothed man's pupils contracted violently. He looked around but didn't see anyone in the room. He swallowed hard and tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand: "Are you... a human or a ghost?"
"I am naturally the imperial teacher of the current dynasty. I have successfully cultivated to the level of a semi-immortal. Didn't I tell you that I asked you to kill me?"
"Could it be that they want you to come and die?"
"You've killed so many people with your own hands, and you're responsible for hundreds of lives, yet you're still afraid of ghosts."
"but--"
"You should be afraid, because you've committed so many sins. The souls of those you've killed are watching you from behind! Every one of them hates you so much they wish they could skin you alive and eat your bones, so that you'll be their companion for eternity."
A feeling of being watched came from behind. The man in black was surrounded by darkness, and his eyes involuntarily wanted to look back.
Shen Tingyu ran happily while shouting to scare the man in black. Fortunately, she was a puppet now, so she could run and talk without being exposed by breathing heavily.
She laughed contemptuously and continued to threaten him, "Tell me the master behind you, and I will spare your life."
With a crunch!
The windows were tightly shut.
The man in black trembled as if he had been reminded. His face turned pale and he was about to climb out the window. His speed was so agile that it seemed as if there was a ghost chasing him from behind.
Seeing that the man in black had half his foot on the window frame, she crouched down and walked out of the dark corner, rolled on the ground a few times, and then rushed to An Chi.
She climbed onto An Chi's shoulders, patted her cheek with her little hand, and said anxiously: "An Chi...are you okay? You vomited a lot of blood! Wake up..."
She reached out to An Chi's nose with her trembling little hand to feel his breath.
call--!
Great, she's still alive, just in a coma.
Unexpectedly, the man in black, who had half a foot on the window frame, turned back habitually. His body's inherent caution allowed him to see clearly the movement of Shen Tingyu jumping and climbing onto An Chi's shoulders, and his pupils contracted violently.
Stopped and left.
