late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 17
I watched the dart fly past my face, only a centimeter away, and the sharp edge of the dart would have sliced ​​through my carotid artery.

In other words, I just narrowly escaped death.

"Zhongzheng, are you alright?!" Lan'er exclaimed, and quickly ran up to me, staring at my neck carefully.

I shook my head in fear, my mind was still in a trance, "It's okay, Mei Shuang, go and see who it is!"

I know that the assassin must have escaped long ago, but what is the meaning of that dart!
mistake? !warn? !Or does it mean something else? !

Who is behind the assassin? !

Sushun? !Empress Dowager Ci'an? !Or someone else? !
Only now did I think of that little eunuch again, we should have detained him yesterday, maybe there was some reason for it.

But now, we know almost nothing about all these questions!
"It's good that it's okay. None of the days in this palace is safe for people. Now, those sharp claws hidden in the dark finally surfaced little by little!"

Lan'er seemed to know that all this would happen, she was much calmer than me, maybe it was out of helplessness.

But I can no longer sit still and wait for my death. If I want to survive, I must learn to fight!

"Our top priority is to find out who the little eunuch is, who is the assassin he mentioned, and how did he get the news! We must find out!"

There is a saying in the art of war: Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles!

We seem to be in a fog now, and the so-called truth is only a window paper away from us.

"This Rehe Palace is no smaller than the Forbidden City, and we can't find someone in a big way now, so what you just said is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack."

"But, do we have any other options? If we don't take any action, we are waiting to die."

"Perhaps, sometimes waiting is also a way. Maybe we will wait for the dawn soon."

Lan'er sat back on Luohan's bed, looking confident.

This kind of her is indeed very royal, but I am afraid that she is too powerful, and I will not be able to control her in the future.

In other words, my wording is wrong, I don't want to control her, I just don't want my country to be torn apart, to be divided up by the big powers little by little, and to leave the people in dire straits for a long time.

"For you, waiting is indeed a way."

Because as long as you survive these few days, you will be able to watch the clouds and see the sun. However, for me, the future is indeed dark.

Someone is hiding in the dark and could kill me at any moment!

"But, for me, waiting is sending me to my death!"

"If you take action, I guarantee you will die faster."

Laner looked at me with great certainty.

I understand what she means, but this feeling of waiting to die in the mist is really unbearable. Since I have come here, I can't die without knowing why.

"Okay, I see. I'm a little tired. I'll go back and rest first."

I went back to my room feeling a little bored, and at some point, Mei Shuang also followed me in.

"My lord, the assassin was not found."

Mei Shuang was ashamed and stood beside me dejectedly.

"The other party should be a master, and it's expected that he didn't find it."

"My lord, how about I help you find out about that little eunuch!"

Mei Shuang looked swearing, I knew she wanted to do something for me.

"This matter is too dangerous, let's talk about it slowly."

I didn't agree, after all, what Lan'er said made sense, now we are in the open, and the enemy is in the dark, no matter what trouble we have, the enemy will be aware of it immediately.

In that way, our situation will be even worse.

"Understood, my lord."

Mei Shuang withdrew.

I didn't pay too much attention to Mei Shuang. If I had just glanced at her expression at that time, the following things might not have happened.

Almost at midnight, Mei Shuang suddenly appeared in my bedroom.
