During dinner, Lu Qi handed Nan Muchen a letter, and the two of them left in a hurry.

Su Mumu was the only one left in the huge Longchen Pavilion.

The sun gradually sets in the west, and the sunlight disappears, leaving only the crimson sunset glow on the horizon, which looks particularly dazzling in the chaotic sky.

Su Mumu turned on the lamp in the main room, took some medical books on Duobaoge's cabinet, and started reading by the light.

During these days, Nan Muchen would go out every once in a while, and every time he went out it would be in the evening, and he would only come back in the dark at midnight.

But this has no impact on Su Mumu.

For her, she was free without Nan Muchen gesticulating around and ordering her to do things.

It was quiet everywhere, except for the occasional sound of Su Mumu turning the pages of a book, and there was not even a trace of unnecessary wind sound.

The orange light illuminated Su Mumu's quiet and fair face, her eyelids were lowered, her long and dense eyelashes were slightly rolled up, covering a pair of sparkling amber eyes, which were lively and charming.

Suddenly, a fresh smell of blood drifted with a gentle breeze. Although it was very faint, Su Mumu could still clearly distinguish it through her nose.

Su Mumu looked stern, quickly closed the medical book, blew out the oil lamp on the table in one breath, squatted down and hid under the table.

The main room suddenly fell into darkness. He squinted his eyes and observed the surroundings vigilantly. He smelled the smell of blood in the air getting stronger and stronger, and listened carefully for any unusual noises in the room.

The wind speed suddenly changed, causing the window to creak, followed by the sound of something falling gently to the ground.

Su Mumu squinted her eyes and could vaguely see a pair of feet not far from her!

This man broke into Nan Muchen's bedroom in the middle of the night, with a strong smell of blood on his body. He must be an assassin, and he was discovered by the guards of the palace, so he was injured.

Judging from this posture, he must be heading towards Nan Muchen, but it's a pity that he missed it today, and Nan Muchen is not here.

It must have been that the person who originally planned to poison him knew that the poison in his body had completely healed, so he couldn't bear to take action a second time.

If we can catch this assassin, we can find clues about the culprit behind the scenes, so we must not let him go!

But what to do...

As the steady footsteps of the man in black came closer and closer, Su Mumu became increasingly anxious.

Messy but brisk footsteps kept moving back and forth in the dark room, and finally stopped at the door. It seemed that they didn't find the person they were looking for and were planning to leave.

There was a sudden rustling sound in the dark room. The man in black, who was about to open the door and go out, turned his head sharply, and his eyes were finally fixed on the table where Su Mumu was hiding.

"Who is hiding there, come out!"

The entire face was covered tightly by black cloth, only a pair of small triangular eyes were exposed, glowing coldly in the deep night, full of alertness and murderous intent.

A petite figure crawled out from under the table. Su Mumu shrank, her big smart eyes flashing with fear, and said tremblingly: "Ah, it's none of my business, don't kill me, don't kill me.

…”

The man in black didn't seem to expect that there was someone hiding under the table. She seemed to be just an ordinary little maid. The alertness in her eyes faded a lot, and she lowered her voice fiercely and threatened: "Where is this stinky girl? She's looking for death!"

"Here, this big brother, I don't know anything. I'm just a maid. Don't kill me. I, I don't know anything!"

Su Mumu was sitting on her knees on the ground, talking nonsense, her body shaking like weak catkins in the air, she looked like a helpless girl after being bullied.

But how could the assassin be a sympathetic person?

One hand was covering the wound on his shoulder, which was still bleeding out, and the other hand was holding a cold long knife, approaching Su Mumu step by step...

It seems that this assassin will not let him go regardless of whether he is innocent or not.

A huge shadow gradually shrouded Su Mumu's head, and the dangerous aura was close at hand. The cold light that could tear the night apart was wrapped in a domineering wind, and rushed toward Su Mumu's face——

There was a commotion outside the house from far to near, as if countless people were approaching, and the orange flickering light became more and more obvious in the night.

The man in black stopped swinging the knife in mid-air, then put it on Su Mumu's neck. At the same time, he quickly squatted down and warned in a gloomy voice: "Don't make a sound, or I will kill you now!"

The cold blade pressed tightly against the skin of Su Mumu's neck. In addition to the coldness, she could also feel a faint pain.

Su Mumu opened her big hesitant eyes, pretending to be terrified and nodded, while her mind was spinning rapidly.

Although there is only one door between her and the guards in Prince Ding's Mansion, if she makes any noise deliberately at this moment, her head will definitely fall to the ground.

Therefore, it is better to follow this assassin for the time being and then find a way to deal with him to delay time.

"It should be in this direction, let me continue the search, and be sure to catch the assassin before the prince comes back!" A quick and unfamiliar voice gave an order outside the house.

The chaotic footsteps gradually faded away, and the light of the torch became darker and darker with the footsteps.

The man in black stared closely at the fire outside the house until it disappeared into the dark night together with the footsteps. His stiff body relaxed for a moment, and the knife on Su Mumu's neck also relaxed a little.

Su Mumu breathed out secretly, and the smell of blood on the tip of her nose became stronger and stronger. She rolled her eyes and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, uncle, I understand that you want to kill me, but if your wound is not bandaged, you may die.

"

She was telling the truth. Judging from the amount of blood oozing, if the bleeding stopped, hemorrhagic shock would definitely occur within half an hour.

The man in black looked at Su Mumu with an increasingly weird look. It should be said that he couldn't understand Su Mumu's intentions, but because of this, the hostility in his body was reduced a lot, and he probably had no intention of killing her again for the time being.

"Well, if you don't mind, I can bandage it for you..." Su Mumu said this carefully and tentatively, and she could clearly feel the hand of the man in black holding the knife trembling.

"Stop talking nonsense!" The man in black tightened his grip on the handle of the knife, a fierce light suddenly appeared in his eyes, but his voice became a little hollow when he spoke, "Take, take me to find your princess."
