She finished washing as usual, but still seemed a little absent-minded because she was worried about what might happen next.

Zhe Liu packed up her washing things, and was about to take them out the door, but saw Jiang Ning sitting alone in front of the window, her back looking a little lonely, "Your Majesty, you are not in a good mood?"

She hesitated for a moment, then sat down next to Jiang Ning again.

The other party just turned to look at her, Jiang Ning opened his mouth, and then stretched out his hand to support his forehead, showing a little tiredness, "No, I'm just a little tired."

Zhe Liu carefully looked at Jiang Ning's slightly red eye sockets, the eyeballs rolled around slyly, and then a smile that was too bright broke into Jiang Ning's field of vision.

Zhe Liu covered his face with a handkerchief, and his voice twisted into a somewhat strange tone, "It seems that our emperor is really powerful."

Seeing the strange and hostile expression on the other party's face, no matter how slow Jiang Ning is, he still tasted some other flavors from it.

She came back to her senses and pinched Zheliu's arm, "Damn girl, what are you talking about!"

Zhe Liu was twisted by her "Ouch", and his body dodged countless steps.

"Your Majesty, don't be embarrassed, you and the emperor are reunited, and this servant is also happy."

Jiang Ning lowered his eyebrows, recalling the hug in the corridor not long ago, and vaguely felt that there was still a little burning sensation on his flesh.

Her face was a little hot, she turned her face slightly, and the night breeze with the smell of green grass rushed to her face, "Okay, you go out first, I'm a little tired today, I want to rest early."

Seeing that she was depressed, Zhe Liu couldn't continue joking with her, so he agreed softly, took the washing utensils and walked towards the door.

"Girl."

Jiang Ning's voice was deep and muffled in the night wind.

"Huh?" Zheliu paused.

"After all, you are outside the palace now, you should be more careful in everything, don't eat indiscriminately... That's all, just be more careful."

Zheliu laughed softly, "Got it now, empress, this servant is no longer a child, she always knows the importance of doing things."

"Well. So be it."

The door squeaked, bringing in a gust of night wind, and Jiang Ning was the only one left in the room.

She sat alone quietly, but her heart was surprisingly calm. The windows were wide open, and the candlelight in the house fell through the windows on the ground in the courtyard, and was cut into several pieces by the steps.

The night wind blew her hair and it fell into her eyes. Jiang Ning squinted her eyes, and the candlelight in front of her eyes turned into bright spots on Mu Jingzhao's face that flickered on and off.

"Do you regret it?"

Jiang Ning opened his eyes wide, rubbed them tiredly, then got up, closed the window, turned around, blew out the window and walked to the bed.

The inside of the house was darkened, and the silvery moonlight fell on the paper window faintly, and the sound of insects came into the house from far and near.

Jiang Ning was lying on the bed, his body was put into a stiff and weird posture.

She closed her eyes, but her hearing was surprisingly sensitive. The gusts of night wind made her heart tremble as if hitting her eardrums, and even the sound of her breathing became a little heavy.

Jiang Ning lay stiffly, every muscle in his body was tensed. I don't know how long it had passed, not only did his body not feel sleepy at all, but he became more awake.

She seems to be recalling many things in this long silence. When she was young, she was babbling with pigtails, wearing small shoes and running around on the grass in the yard; Climbed a tree, but accidentally fell from the tree and grinned in pain; when he was young, he went to grab food from a wild dog with ragged clothes and disheveled hair, but was beaten and injured all over by the dog owner.

Thinking of her mother, sister, father, the proprietress, the old cripple who adopted her, the old bustard, Lin Zheng, Mu Jingzhao... so many people she even thought she had forgotten.

The house was still quiet, and finally even the sound of insects and wind seemed to gradually disappear, leaving only the sound of Jiang Ning's heavy breathing.

"Squeak." An inaudible sound exploded in Jiang Ning's head, her whole body was stiff, and she even trembled slightly with the sound of breathing.

She still kept her eyes tightly closed, but she could clearly feel the sound of footsteps approaching her, little by little, gradually coming to her bed.

An invisible sense of oppression enveloped Jiang Ning's whole body, and the air flowed in a different direction with the movement of the man. There was a flash of a knife in the room, and Jiang Ning opened his eyes instantly, and the dagger had appeared not far from her abdomen.

With a flash of her figure, she grabbed the medicine powder in her hand and threw it towards the opponent's cheek without hesitation.

"what!"

There was a scream in the room, Jiang Ning dodged, rolled from the gangster's side, and rolled to the table, she lifted a chair without hesitation, and threw it directly in the direction of the gangster.

The stool hit the top of the gangster's head with a muffled sound, and the gangster let out an instant cry of pain, staggering and about to fall down.

Jiang Ning picked up the stool and wanted to repeat the same trick, but the opponent was already prepared, dodged and slashed at Jiang Ning with a dagger in his hand.

Jiang Ning dodged hastily, but the blade still brushed against her arm, a sharp pain hit her, and the smell of blood gradually permeated the room.

At this time, the man in black had already come to Jiang Ning with a dagger in his hand. She retreated steadily, and her back hit the door and window behind her unexpectedly.The dagger in the hand of the man in black was raised high, and the white light flickered. He let out a contemptuous laugh.

Jiang Ning subconsciously touched the dagger at his waist, took it out and sent it in the direction of the man in black. When the blade landed on the corner of the man in black, he was knocked straight away. The man grabbed Jiang Ning's collar with one hand and pulled her away. mention.

In the darkness, the two looked at each other quietly. In the next second, Jiang Ning was thrown out instantly, and his body hit the wardrobe straight, making a muffled sound.

A dull pain swept over her whole body, and the strong smell of blood filled her nose. She had no room to resist anymore, and lay on the ground panting heavily.

The man in black took out the bamboo tube and poured the liquid in the tube into every corner of the room as he walked through every corner of the room. He stopped in front of Jiang Ning with a sinister and cruel voice, " All of this today is what you have reaped, and you deserve it.”

"who are you?"

Hearing Jiang Ning's voice, the figure of the man in black froze slightly, but he had no intention of answering.

He took out the fire pocket, lit it up, and laughed cruelly.

Jiang Ning tilted her body and lay flat on the ground. She closed her eyes and thought in a daze, "It can be considered that the soul has returned to its homeland."

At this moment, a hairpin came through the wind, pierced through the torn paper window, and instantly nailed to the man's elbow.

"Ah!" The man in black cried out in pain, a peacock feather hairpin was nailed to his elbow, and the torch in his hand fell instantly, igniting the kerosene in the room, and the fire spread across the room in an instant. Soaring into the sky. (end of this chapter)
