He continued to wipe Su Qingci's body. "It could be someone sent by Gao Jiarong to monitor me, or it could be someone in the court who is dissatisfied with me."
Seeing Su Qingci's face as if facing a great enemy, Lu Huan comforted him softly, "I'm here, don't be afraid."
Su Qingci also remembered the man in black whom he saw tonight. Wasn’t he on the roof of someone else’s house at that time?
Later, after seeing her, I followed her for a while.
Could it be that it has something to do with that person?
Lu Huan carried her to the bed, covered her with a blanket, and then went to the closet to get a set of her underwear.
"I might have to go out and take a look later. You go to sleep first and don't have to wait for me."
Su Qingci let him put on her inner clothes, "Where are you going?"
"We have secret guards arranged by me around our courtyard, but this person was able to avoid their eyes and ears and climb onto our roof quietly and silently. It is obvious that his strength is extraordinary." Lu Huan analyzed in a serious tone.
"So I have to go out and explore it myself to see if I can find anything," he continued.
"If we can't find any trace of that person, I'll have to instruct them to be more vigilant."
Su Qingci pulled his sleeve and said, "I have something to tell you."
Lu Huan: "Wait until I come back, or tell me tomorrow... tomorrow."
"I'll go investigate first. If I can catch him, I won't have to worry about him later."
Su Qingci let go: "Okay."
Anyway, it was just a quick glance, and it couldn't necessarily be the man in black, Su Qingci thought.
"Be careful and come back soon."
"good."
Lu Huan tucked the corner of the quilt in for her. "Don't worry, I'll ask Zitan to watch outside. Just sleep peacefully. Nothing will happen."
Su Qingci nodded, "Okay."
…
Su Qingci looked at the top of the tent in confusion, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She didn't know why, but she always had a bad feeling in her heart.
She hadn't slept well for several days, and today she went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. She was extremely tired and fell into a deep sleep in no time.
Su Qingci slept extremely soundly, as if immersed in a sweet dream.
In her sleep, she vaguely felt Lu Huan return to the room, gently stroking her cheeks and the red mole at the corner of her eyes.
"Hmm..." She subconsciously turned over and hugged the troublesome big hand tightly in her arms.
Although her eyes were too sleepy to open, she still asked drowsily, "Are you back?"
Time passed minute by minute, and finally a low and gentle response came: "Yeah."
However, because he was too tired, Su Qingci did not notice anything unusual.
The speaker's voice seemed slightly different from Lu Huan's, and the temperature of the palm...also changed slightly.
Lu Huan's body always had a hint of coolness, perhaps because it was the turn of summer and autumn, and the night still felt a bit stuffy.
So she got used to falling asleep next to Lu Huan at night, with his arms around her chest, enjoying the unique coolness and tranquility.
It was not until the next morning, when Lu Huan returned from outside exhausted, that Su Qingci suddenly recalled what happened last night.
She suddenly realized - the arm she hugged last night seemed to be warm!
This discovery made her feel confused and at the same time inexplicably uneasy.
What happened? Did I sleep too long and remember it wrong?
Su Qingci took off Lu Huan's soiled robe and asked, "Did you just get back?"
"yes."
Su Qingci was speechless for a moment, his mind in a mess.
She clearly remembered that Lu Huan came back after she fell asleep.
But at this time Lu Huan said that he had just returned.
Lu Huan said tiredly, "We've been searching all night, but we haven't found anything."
Su Qingci felt a faint sense of unease and anxiety in his heart. "Didn't you say that we have secret guards arranged by you in our courtyard? Didn't they find any trace of the assassin?"
Lu Huan silently looked off into the distance. After a long moment, he slowly spoke, "All the secret guards I deployed were drugged by the enemy..."
"All?" Su Qingci opened his eyes wide in surprise.
"right."
"And my secret guards didn't notice anything unusual beforehand."
"This can only mean that the other party is either fully aware of the situation in our mansion, or he is as light as a swallow and has extremely high attainments in Qinggong, so he can move freely between the beams at night without being noticed."
"But the problem is, I don't know where these people come from."
Great at light work, yet not attracting attention?
Speaking of this, Su Qingci couldn't help but recall the man in black whom he saw last night.
At that time, the man was standing quietly on the roof of another house, overlooking the entire Shangjing City from a high vantage point.
When he followed her whereabouts, following her closely like a ghost, his movements were as light and agile as a flying swallow.
Not only that, from the look in that man's eyes, Su Qingci could clearly feel that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
It seems that he is probably also a senior secret guard who has undergone rigorous training?
"I have already told my father about this matter. We still need to consider it in the long run." Lu Huan said.
"They must be coming for me. They've already got the whole mansion under their belt. Tomorrow, I'll take you to a farm outside the city to stay for a while and take shelter."
Su Qingci thought for a moment and said, "Since they're here for you, it might not be convenient for me to go to the manor under your name."
