"Who would come to this cold palace at night!" Tang Nian muttered in a low voice. A small lamp came closer and closer, and Xie Jincheng's breath whispered in Tang Nian's ear.
Tang Nian's heart beat like thunder, and his eyes widened instantly.
In front of him, a figure appeared silently.
The man was dressed in black robes, with a hood covering his face. He held a dagger with a cold light in his hand and looked around carefully.
Tang Nian swallowed and did not dare to move.
"Huan'er." The man in black robe said hoarsely and took the woman who was also wearing a hood into his arms.
The woman stiffened and tried to struggle, but was tightly held in the arms of the man in black robe.
"Huan'er, let's escape!"
What a coincidence!
He was so lucky that he happened upon a guard having an affair with a palace maid.
Tang Nian didn't dare to say anything, but accidentally stepped on a dead leaf.
"Who?!" The man in black robe immediately let go of the person in his arms and rushed towards Tang Nian's direction.
Tang Nian couldn't avoid it and was tightly covered by the man in black robe.
"Let's go!"
Tang Nian yelled at Xie Jincheng, who immediately turned around and ran away.
Tang Nian was almost choked by the man in black robe. When the man in black robe wasn't paying attention, he bit his hand suddenly.
The man in black robe felt pain and let go of her.
Tang Nian immediately ran away, but within a few steps, the man in black robe grabbed him by the collar.
"Young man, you have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth." The man in black robe sneered, holding a dagger to his neck, "Since you have ruined my good deeds, don't blame me for being rude!"
Tang Nian's skin was numb, and he was thinking about how to escape the man's grasp, but he found that a cold iron chain had been wrapped around his neck at some point.
His eyes widened suddenly, and he saw an unparalleledly handsome man appear in front of them out of thin air, with the corners of his mouth raised, staring at him with a half-smile.
"you……"
"Shut up." The man interrupted him impatiently. With a wave of his hand, the man in black robe screamed and fell to the ground, covering his arms.
Tang Nian looked at him blankly, and then at Xie Jincheng who was watching them warily.
Is he... saving his life?
The man was approaching them step by step, and Tang Nian subconsciously blocked Xie Jincheng.
The man stopped and looked at him with a half-smile, "Young man, you are quite loyal."
Tang Nian swallowed and spoke carefully, "Um, thank you for saving me."
"Yes." The man responded lightly and turned to leave.
"Um, can you tell me what happened to you just now?"
The man paused and turned to look at him, his narrow red phoenix eyes half smiling, "Want to know?"
"Um."
"I won't tell you!" After saying that, the man flew away.
"Hey, you haven't told me your name yet!"
"Master, let's leave quickly!" Xie Jincheng grabbed Tang Nian's arm, not wanting him to continue to have an entanglement with the man.
If what he thought was correct, that man should be the envoy.
"Yes, so is your sister. Why haven't you come for so long?"
Before the two of them could exchange a few words, Tang Nian saw a familiar figure walking towards them.
"Cousin!" Tang Nian waved excitedly.
The person who came was none other than Tang Xinyao. She walked up to Tang Nian and looked him up and down, "Are you okay?"
"fine."
"It's okay." Tang Xinyao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xie Jincheng, "Let's leave quickly. I just saw blood stains all over the road on the road. Let's leave this place of right and wrong quickly."
Tang Nian nodded, and the three of them were about to leave, but they found that several masked people suddenly appeared and surrounded them.
Tang Xinyao's expression changed, and she was about to run away, but was knocked unconscious by a masked man with a sword hilt.
"Xin Yao!" Tang Nian exclaimed, but saw a masked man rushing toward him with a dagger.
At the critical moment, a figure flashed past and deflected the dagger.
It's that man again!
Tang Nian's eyes widened as he watched the man fly up and fight with several masked men.
Within a few breaths, several masked men fell to the ground.
The man held Tang Nian with one arm and glanced at him, "Little one, I saved you twice a day, how can you repay me?"
Tang Nian swallowed and immediately broke away from the man's arms, "Who knows who those men in black are looking for? They must be here to kill you."
"Oh! Then what do you mean by the three of you breaking into the cold palace at night?"
"you……"
Tang Nian was afraid of exposing Tang Xinyao and Xie Jincheng, "It's none of their business. If you want to expose, just expose me."
The man's narrow red phoenix eyes stared at him with a half-smile, and the corners of his mouth raised, half-smile, "He is a loyal man, but it's a pity..."
His hand gently stroked Tang Nian's cheek, his eyes full of amusement, "It's a pity that you are so unlucky."
Tang Nian was stunned, but the man suddenly retracted his hand and turned to leave.
"Hey!" Tang Nian grabbed his sleeve, "You haven't told me your name yet!"
The man paused and turned to look at him, his narrow red phoenix eyes half-smiling, "Want to know?"
"Um."
"I still won't tell you!" After saying that, the man flew away.
Tang Nian: "..."
This day, he encountered two fatal disasters. What kind of shitty luck did he have?
"I'm afraid those killers are coming for him." Xie Jincheng looked at the direction where the man disappeared. It was the post house where the envoys lived. If the man sincerely wanted to expose them, he would not let them leave.
I'm afraid that this person is not a kind person.
"Master, it seems that today is not the first time we have recognized each other. Tang Xiunv, let's meet again in the future if we have the chance!"
Tang Xinyao was stunned, "What?"
"What did you call me?"
Xie Jincheng responded word for word, "Tang, Xiu, female."
Tang Xinyao's face was ashen, "Are you still blaming me? Jincheng, I am your sister, are you saying that my life is worse than death?"
"You should have died a long time ago, right? Xie Shuyi, or Concubine Shu?"
Tang Nian: How could siblings be so choked? Maybe something happened to them that they didn't know about before.
"Okay, okay, let's talk about it another day! Tang Xiunv is more exposed. Go back and rest early! Let's just pretend that what happened today never happened."
Tang Nian was about to leave when he heard a woman crying from behind.
He was stunned and turned around, only to see a woman in palace clothes covering her face and running away.
"Isn't that just..."
Tang Nian was about to speak, but was interrupted by Tang Xinyao.
"Okay, let's go!"
Tang Nian frowned, but didn't say anything and followed Tang Xinyao out of this place of right and wrong.
As soon as they stepped out of the cold palace, they saw a large number of officers and soldiers rushing into the cold palace.
The man in black who was holding a dagger and wanted to kill him, and the three killers who fell to the ground, the only one who escaped was the palace maid named "Huan'er".
"Dead people!"
"Fengxiang Palace's pure concubine is back to kill people!"
