His eyes were unclear, and his knuckled fingers put all the medicine bottles and other items back into the medicine box.
"It's better if you don't pretend. This pretentious look is more off-putting than the vulgar powder in the flower house."
The ambiguous atmosphere collapsed instantly, and Shen Zhaoning bit his lip without saying a word.
Her little tricks looked a little clumsy in Jun Beicheng's eyes, so instead of staying in embarrassment, it was better to take the opportunity to run away.
Just as she was about to get up, Zuo's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, the assassin has been caught."
Jun Beicheng glanced at Shen Zhaoning who was curled up on the bed, raised his hand and grabbed the quilt to cover her whole body, and then turned around and went out.
In the yard, the assassin at Zuo's feet was dying, and he confessed honestly: "It was Princess Anyang who ordered me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo's knife fell on his neck, blood splattered, and he died.
Jun Beicheng stood under the night, with a haze in his eyes: "The hands of the Duke's Palace are getting longer and longer, and they regard Prince Zhan's Palace as their home."
Zuo picked up the assassin's body on the ground, his upright face exuding righteousness: "Then this person must have gone the wrong way. I will send him back now."
So, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and there was an assassin's corpse at the door of the Duke's Mansion.
As for Shen Zhaoning, of course she went back to sleep. With her injuries like this, Jun Beicheng was too cruel to attack the wounded.
Since the injury was on her back, she could only sleep on her stomach. When she was tired, she would turn on her side. When the wound was touched, her scalp became numb and she gasped.
Shen Tianci opened his eyes drowsily, his face flushed: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at the little guy's concerned face, how could she dare to tell the truth?
He patted his son on the back and said softly: "It's okay, go to sleep."
But Shen Tianci still discovered it the next day. It was such a big hole that required dressing changes and was bleeding. How could it be hidden?
The little guy grinded his baby teeth and his face turned red with anger: "Dad! Did the prince hit you?"
Shen Zhaoning was slightly stunned, wondering why this little guy had such a big opinion against his cheap biological father.
He explained: "Of course not. Dad did it accidentally. It's okay. It will be fine soon."
But Shen Tianci didn't believe it at all. It was clear that his mother went to Xuan Yu Pavilion last night and came back like this!
Thinking of that cruel cheap dad, he ran out angrily.
Shen Zhaoning looked at his son who disappeared at the door and laughed dumbly. This boy was getting more and more tempered now.
But she didn't say bad things about certain people to her child. It was entirely Jun Beicheng who gave the child a bad impression, so she couldn't blame her.
After Shen Tianci ran out, he strolled outside Xuan Yu Pavilion. The entire palace was the most heavily guarded. He tried to sneak in several times but was stopped by others.
Zuo came out just in time, carried him with one hand and left: "Don't play here, the prince doesn't like children, uncle will take you to practice martial arts."
Today Shen Tianci was not in the mood to practice martial arts at all. He just wanted to avenge his mother and kept struggling.
If it weren't for that cheap dad, he and his mother wouldn't have to hide in Tibet to survive.
He was very angry and kept hitting Zuo with his little fist: "If you don't go, don't go! Let me down!"
Zuo smiled and put the man down, and ran away before he could even say a few words.
He looked puzzled: "This kid usually likes to go to the martial arts training ground with him, why is he so popular today?"
It wasn't until he accompanied Jun Beicheng back to the yard at night, when more than a dozen hidden weapons flew towards him, that he finally realized. Maybe Shen Lin was injured here last night and went back. This kid was holding his breath!
The two of them had been on the battlefield for a long time, and naturally they were not injured. Looking at the rough but highly lethal wooden arrows, it was not necessary to guess whose handiwork it was.
This is the same as the little assassin who injured Princess Anyang last time.
Zuo found a thread that triggered the mechanism behind the door. As soon as they opened the door, the mechanism crossbow buried in the soil would be triggered.
Two machine-shaped crossbows covered with mud were placed in Jun Beicheng's hands. The palm-sized gadgets were very delicate.
The mechanism crossbow this time is much more sophisticated than the one used against Princess Anyang last time. The shape may seem simple, but the level of sophistication inside is beyond what current craftsmen can achieve.
Each of these gadgets can actually fire eight crossbow arrows at the same time, and each shot is extremely powerful.
The key point is that the lower layer of the mechanical crossbow actually has a place to store spare wooden arrows, which can be quickly and automatically loaded after firing the arrows.
As long as it was filled with wooden arrows, it was hard to say that he and Zuo would not be hit.
Judging from the current craftsmanship skills of Great Southern Kingdom, it is impossible to achieve this level!
Now the latest mechanical crossbow manufactured by the Ministry of War can be carried with you. It is one foot three inches long, can fire three arrows at the same time, and can be quickly manually loaded.
This is the best that Da Nan Guo craftsmen can do at present.
But now a four-year-old child actually has skills that surpass the craftsmen of the entire Great Southern Kingdom. He obviously doesn't believe it.
The last time he didn't think much about it was because of what happened, but this time it was different.
Jun Beicheng's eyes flashed with amusement. If a four-year-old child can't do it, then there is still a child's mother.
He had always felt that something was wrong with Shen Lin, but he couldn't find out what the problem was. Today, it gave him an extra layer of surprise.
That's a lot more fun than being plotted by a four-year-old.
"Bring the boy here."
A Zuo followed the order, searched around the palace, found Shen Tianci hiding in the kitchen, picked him up and left.
Needless to say, the matter was exposed and the little guy made up his mind not to admit it. Anyway, he was not caught in the act this time.
When he arrived at Xuan Yu Pavilion, he looked resolutely at his cheap father in front of him, without kneeling or saying a word.
Jun Beicheng was not angry, but found it interesting. There was a hint of interest in the corner of his mouth: "Did you bury the hidden weapon?"
