Then he raised his hand to give Dou Lianyi a look.

"Look, I didn't lie to you."

"Where's the chest?"

Dou Lianyi took a quick glance and found that there was really no more bleeding, so she grabbed Duan Wujiu's collar again to see how injured his chest was.

However, the hole pierced by that long sword could not be solved immediately with internal force. Duan Wu Jiu hesitated for a moment, and felt a little at a loss.

"Duan Wu Jiu, what are you doing!"

Dou Lianyi was extremely anxious. The strong smell of blood in her nose just now could not be dissipated. She could not forget that Duan Wujiu stood in front of her at that moment and took the sword for her. picture.

She thought she would die there, but now she was even more afraid that Duan Wu Jiu would die!

Duan Wujiu pondered in embarrassment for a while, then glanced at the masked assassin lying on the ground, secretly kicked the opponent's body with his toes, and opened an acupuncture point, making the opponent suddenly think that he had a way to escape. Chance.

When the assassin groaned and twitched, Duan Wu Jiu had a reason to lean over and pull him up. Then he smiled at Dou Lianyi and said, "There is an assassin in the palace. I must kill him." Take it to Dongchang, Miss Dou, please help yourself first."

After that, he turned around and flew away with the assassin as if he was running away.

Dou Lianyi was left confused, standing there and blinking.

"Duan Wujiu, come back here!"

Dou Lianyi was so angry that she stamped her feet. As soon as she finished speaking, several palace maids hurried in from outside the Merlin with palace lanterns.

As soon as they saw Dou Lianyi, they all breathed a sigh of relief. The leader was Jin'er.

"Miss Dou, you scared me to death. Why did you disappear in the blink of an eye? I have been looking for you for a long time. If I hadn't just bumped into Master Duan outside, I wouldn't have known what to do!"

Jin'er trotted forward, looked at Dou Lianyi from side to side, and was completely relieved when she found that she was safe, and couldn't help complaining anxiously.

"I'm really sorry for making you worry, Aunt Jin'er."

After all, Dou Lianyi still didn't tell anyone about the assassination in the plum blossom forest. On the one hand, she still didn't know who the murderer was behind the scenes. On the other hand, Duan Wujiu was involved, so she didn't want to let others know too much of the inside story.

"Forget it, Miss Dou, just be okay. I will take you back to Guiyuan now."

"Sorry, Aunt Jin'er."

Dou Lianyi followed Jin'er and left the plum blossom forest smoothly, but when she walked far away, she still couldn't help but look back.

Even though he didn't see anything, he could still inexplicably feel that there was a gaze sending him away in the distance.

Extremely reassuring.

When they returned to Guiyuan, after Jin'er took care of everything, they found Dou Lianyi sitting on the steps, holding her chin and looking at the sky in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Jin'er subconsciously followed Dou Lianyi's gaze and looked up at the sky. She found that there was only one bright moon and nothing unusual, so she asked with concern.

"Miss Dou? What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing." Dou Lianyi smiled, shook his head, and asked Jin'er to sit next to him.

Thinking that Aunt Jin'er had also stayed in the palace for many years, Dou Lianyi asked tentatively: "Aunt Jin'er, what kind of person is this gentleman?"

Hearing this, Jin'er's eyes widened and she quickly looked around to see if anyone was passing by. Then she lowered her voice and waved her hands nervously: "Miss Dou, why did you suddenly mention Mr. Duan!"

Dou Lianyi thought of a reason and responded: "After all, it was because Master Duan pointed the way that Aunt Jin'er could find me smoothly, so I thought about whether I should say thank you to him in person."

"Miss Dou, if it were anyone else, this servant would definitely approve of you going to thank him, but that's Mr. Duan. Everyone has to go around when they see him. Why are you so reluctant to come forward? ?”

Seeing that Jin'er looked frightened when he mentioned Duan Wujiu, Dou Lianyi pursed her lips, feeling a little complicated for some reason.

"Speaking of which, is Master Duan really as scary as the rumors say?"

"I don't know about this slave. It's just that everyone says you can mess with anyone. Don't mess with Mr. Duan from Dongchang. Otherwise, there will be no difference in the palace of the King of Hell."

Jin'er took a breath of cold air and rubbed her arms with both hands. It seemed that she was still a little taboo about mentioning Duan Wu Jiu.

"Is that what your master is doing at that time?"

"Yeah, otherwise how could he be called the 'Living King of Hell'?"

Jin'er shrugged, although she was still scared, but in the deep palace backyard, Duan Wujiu was considered a secret source of conversation among the palace people, so she probably knew something about it.

"Then he really is," Dou Lianyi paused and asked in a low voice, somewhat unspeakably: "Father-in-law?"

"Yes, all the people in this Dongchang are father-in-laws, no one is a normal man."

Dou Lianyi hesitated for a moment, then cautiously assumed: "Is it possible that he is not?"

Jin'er waved her hands very firmly and denied: "It's impossible. You must know that the emperor has personally agreed to allow Master Duan to freely walk in and out of the harem. If he is not the father-in-law, it will be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor and his head will be lost." !”

These words frightened Dou Lianyi so much that she didn't dare to ask any more questions, for fear that Jin'er would find out something.

"That's right. If Mr. Duan were not the father-in-law, how could he be so wanton in the harem with his appearance?"

Dou Lianyi couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.

Although the voice was not loud, Jin'er also heard it. She laughed out loud and joked: "What Miss Dou said is absolutely true. In fact, more than one person in the harem thinks that Master Duan is handsome, let alone compared to others." For an ordinary girl, she is even more beautiful than Concubine Rong. If it weren't for the father-in-law, I don't know how many girls would be secretly interested in her."

Dou Lianyi was stunned for a moment. Duan Wu Jiu's almost demonic face could not help but appear in her mind, and her face suddenly turned red and hot.

She quickly stopped talking and said with a smile: "Thank you Aunt Jin'er for clarifying the confusion. In this case, I won't provoke this 'living king of hell' anymore. I also want to leave the palace safely." Woolen cloth."

"Don't worry, Miss Dou. With the Empress protecting you, you will naturally be able to leave the palace safely."

Jin'er comforted Dou Lianyi with a few words of warmth, and the two of them didn't mention Duan Wu Jiu anymore.

Originally, Dou Lianyi had been thinking of finding an opportunity to see Duan Wujiu again to see how his injury was and whether it was serious, but she did not see Duan Wujiu in the harem for several days.

The longer he didn't see it, the more uneasy Dou Lianyi felt.
