Killer Pretty Queen

Chapter 316 Chasing down the old man

"Yes, it's my daughter's mistake. My daughter has something to tell mother." Seeing Aunt Liu, Xiao Lianhua felt relieved, glanced at the servants around, and said in a low voice to Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu also noticed Xiao Lianhua's strangeness, and said calmly: "It's been a long time since our mother and daughter have said something intimate. You accompany your mother back to the room, and we mother and daughter have a good talk."

"What exactly happened?" As soon as she entered Aunt Liu's dormitory and dismissed those servants, Aunt Liu said displeasedly, "Do you know that what you did just now can easily arouse others' suspicion."

"He, he's here!" Thinking of Shen Xinghui, Xiao Lianhua couldn't help but shudder.

"He? Who is he?" Aunt Liu asked angrily about Xiao Lianhua's inexplicable words.

"What should I do? Shen Xinghui is here. He must be looking for me. If he reveals my identity, we will all be finished." Xiao Lianhua looked at Aunt Liu anxiously.

"Shen Xinghui?" Aunt Liu thought for a while and asked, "That's your friend at the border before? Didn't you tell me that you two have separated? Why did he still come to you?"

"Actually, I was the one who abandoned him. When the empress wanted someone to pretend to be the general's daughter, I abandoned him. I really never thought that he would find the capital from the border. Once my identity was revealed Aunt Liu, you are finished too. We are on the same boat now." Although she was worried, Xiao Lianhua did not forget to threaten Aunt Liu.

"You!" Aunt Liu was very angry at being threatened by Xiao Lianhua, but just as Xiao Lianhua said, the lives of the two are connected now, and Aunt Liu had to think of a way to get through this hurdle.

"Cut the weeds and get rid of the roots." Aunt Liu who calmed down said these four words.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Lianhua wiped her neck with her hands in a suicidal motion.

Aunt Liu nodded, "Do you still have feelings for that man? Now either he is dead or we are dead."

Aunt Liu's words reminded Xiao Lianhua of her current situation. In order to protect herself, Xiao Lianhua also became ruthless, "I will listen to you, Aunt Liu. But he knows martial arts, how can we eradicate the weeds?"

"You don't have to worry about this, I'm free to do it. Are you afraid that no one will want it if you have money?" Aunt Liu showed a cold smile at the corner of her mouth.

In the middle of the night, the General's Mansion was silent, and everyone had already rested.Aunt Liu and Xiao Lianhua changed into night clothes and quietly walked out of the General's Mansion.The two came to a ruined temple not far from the General's Mansion. It was gloomy and there was no one there.

"What are we doing here?" Xiao Lianhua looked around, but there was no one there, and asked Aunt Liu anxiously.

Aunt Liu glanced at Xiao Lianhua, did not speak, waited for a while, and soon appeared a person from the darkness###, startled Xiao Lianhua and Aunt Liu.

"Did you bring something?" The visitor covered his face, only showing a pair of sharp eyes.

Aunt Liu threw a small package into the masked man's hand, "This is just a deposit, and I will give you all the rest after the matter is completed."

The masked man opened the package, saw the silver and a note inside, nodded in satisfaction, quickly took out the note, tied up the package and said to Aunt Liu, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you solve this problem." Human." After speaking, the masked man quickly disappeared into the ruined temple just like when he came.

Xiao Lianhua, who had been silent all this time, already understood what happened, "You hired a killer."

"Do you think we two women can solve a man?" Aunt Liu said sarcastically.

"If it wasn't for you, would I need to waste so much money? If our deeds and our identities are exposed, do you think the empress will still protect us? Will the empress keep useless pawns? We have no way out .”

In the afternoon of the next day, Huangfu Haotian was called into the palace by the emperor to discuss matters, and he would not be able to return for a while.Xiao Li felt that this was a good time to leave the house.So he and Qin Jian changed into light outdoor clothes and opened the door to leave.

"The princess is auspicious." Just as Xiao Li opened the door, she saw Qingfeng guarding the door.

"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to follow the prince into the palace?" Xiao Li, who was startled, quickly calmed down and asked.

"I am under the command of the crown prince, and will stay by the crown princess's side to protect the crown princess from today on." Qingfeng said respectfully.

"No, I stay in the mansion every day, and I don't need other people's protection. You should protect the prince." Xiao Li immediately refused.Seeing that Qingfeng was still standing motionless at the door, Xiao Li became a little anxious, "Go and tell the prince, I don't want your protection, and I just want anyone's protection."

Qingfeng suddenly took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Xiao Li, "Before the Grandpa left, he said that the Crown Princess would not be easily protected by a humble official, so I asked the humble official to hand this letter to the Crown Princess, as long as the Crown Princess reads this If you send a letter, you will agree to be protected by a humble official."

Xiao Li read the letter dubiously, and it turned out that Huangfu Haotian sent Qingfeng to protect him because of the many things these few days, but he was afraid that he would not believe it, so he wrote a copy by hand.

It's just that I don't trust myself too much!

Xiao Li was burning with anger in her heart, but after all, it was someone else's handwriting, but thinking that she would be restricted wherever she went, she was guarded like Li Yan, and she felt uncomfortable. Coming back very late, Xiao Li already felt dissatisfied in her heart.

Angrily, he threw the letter into a ball on the ground, and gave Qingfeng a hard look, "I warn you, you can only protect me secretly, and you are not allowed to appear in front of my eyes without my order."

After speaking, Xiao Li hurriedly left the Prince's Mansion.

Getting angry when seeing Qingfeng is the same virtue as his heartless master.

As soon as Shen Xinghui walked out of the inn, he was hit by someone, and it seemed that something was stuffed into his hand.Before Shen Xinghui could react, the person he bumped into had disappeared.Shen Xinghui opened the note and saw that it was Xiao Lianhua's handwriting. Xiao Lianhua asked Shen Xinghui to meet in the woods in the suburbs.Shen Xinghui held the note tightly and strode away from the inn.

"Crown Princess, that's the person. He is Shen Xinghui, the person who helped me that day." Qin Jian pointed to Shen Xinghui not far away and said to Xiao Li.

"He seems to be going somewhere." Xiao Li observed Shen Xinghui carefully, "Let's follow up quietly to see."

Shen Xinghui came to the grove according to the place agreed on the note. At this time, the grove was very quiet, and occasionally the sound of the wind blowing the leaves could be heard.While Shen Xinghui was waiting for Xiao Lianhua to appear, four or five masked men in black jumped out of the tree.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Shen Xinghui looked at the man in black cautiously and asked nervously.
