Your Majesty's Charming Concubine

Chapter 1280 Assassination
Now that Situ Yujing left, he was actually relieved.

Although Manman's attitude was already there, he was always a little uneasy because he was afraid that she would have no more love for Situ Yujing.

After all, Manman loved Situ Yujing before, and he wasn't sure if Situ Yujing still had a place in her heart, but Situ Yujing came to Xiliang for her.

Zhao Manman didn't know what was going on in Xiao Rongxi's mind, but when she turned around, she saw him standing aside with dim eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

Glancing at him, Zhao Manman went straight back to the yard without saying a word.

The night in Biezhuang was very quiet. Zhao Manman was leaning on the couch, reading a book in his hand.

There were some insects chirping outside the window, she couldn't help but put down the scroll and listened for a while.

Zhen'er, who was sitting by the side doing needlework, saw that it was getting late, but she collected her things and put them aside, and said to Zhao Manman, "Princess, it's late at night, this servant will help you to rest."

Zhao Manman nodded, supported her arm, and got off the couch.

After I untied and cleaned my hands, I went to bed.

After Zhen'er helped her to lie down, she left only one lamp in the room, and retreated out.

After coming out, I saw Xiao Rongxi was still sitting on the steps.

In the past few days, Xiao Rongxi has been guarding the princess almost every step of the way, even at night when the princess is sleeping, he will always guard outside the house.

For his intentions, Zhen'er saw in her eyes, and she couldn't help but change her opinion of him in her heart.

It seems that King Jin really wants to start over with the princess again.

Deeper and heavier, he just sat on the steps like that, his figure looked a bit lonely.

Zhen'er couldn't help persuading: "You have worked hard these few days, go to sleep, I will guard the princess tonight."

Hearing this, Xiao Rongxi glanced sideways at her, but refused lightly, "No, you just go to rest."

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Zhen'er thought about it and didn't try to persuade him any more.

As the princess is getting older, she wakes up more often at night and needs someone to watch over her. Originally, she was the one who kept vigil for the princess, but since Xiao Rongxi insisted on keeping vigil for the princess, she has saved a lot of trouble.

At first, she was a little worried, but after observing for a few days, she found that King Jin was very considerate to the princess, and the princess also rejected King Jin so much, so she felt relieved.

After Zhen'er left, Xiao Rongxi got up and sat down under the eaves of the corridor.

He didn't feel sleepy, his eyes were looking at the dark night sky, but his ears were listening to the movement in the house.

The room was very quiet, Manman presumably had already fallen asleep.

The corner of his mouth curled into a smile, and his eyes softened.

In the middle of the night, he couldn't help feeling sleepy, so he leaned on the pillar and squinted for a while.

Although there was nothing to do at night, he had been on duty for the past few nights, and after a few days, he was a little weak.

However, although he was a little sleepy, he did not fall into a deep sleep.

At this time, he seemed to hear some movement in the house. He thought it was the sound of Manman waking up at night, so he stood up and went to the door to listen.

She has such a big belly that it is difficult for her to move around. Manman won't let him enter the house to take care of her, but every time she wakes up at night, he is always extra vigilant. He can't go in to take care of her. It's good to stay outside the door.

He was thinking silently, and suddenly heard something was wrong in the house.

Without thinking, he opened the door.

I saw a man in black standing in front of the bed, holding a cold sword in his hand, and was about to assassinate Manman, but because of the movement of him pushing the door, he paused and looked back.
