The man's eyes were fixed on Zuo Xiangning.

His tense jaw revealed his nervousness and anticipation.

Zuo Xiangning's eyes were suffocated, and she glanced at his mask twice before saying, "Then you'd better not take it off."

The man sighed inaudibly, stood up and walked towards the door.

That night, Zuo Xiangning ate half a bowl of rice and walked two laps on the boat, feeling much better.

In the middle of the night, Zuo Xiangning, who had been lying in bed for several days without feeling sleepy at all, opened her big round eyes and looked at the reflection on the roof of the shed, swaying like water patterns, thinking about what had happened in the past year, just like dreaming Same.

After finally resurrecting her life, she couldn't live such a vigilant life, right?

What should I do to get rid of all those people who want to harm her!

Suddenly there were scattered footsteps outside.

Zuo Xiangning jumped up from the bed and sat up, walked to the window, and saw that in addition to the two little girls, there were three or four men standing in front of her door.

She knew that this was another person coming on the boat.

She just couldn't figure it out. Who sent these people? Why must she be killed?

"As long as the young master hands over Miss Zuo, we will never embarrass the young master." A man said with a voice like a bell.

"You tell me first who your master is, and then I can consider whether I should let him go." The masked man's deep voice sounded.

"Young master, you just need to remember that my master is not someone you can offend. If you don't want to suffer the calamity of annihilation, I advise you to stop immediately." The old man with a voice like a bell continued: "Sir, if there are any other Just ask for money or anything else."

"I just want to know who he is." The masked man asked: "I don't even know who the other person is, how can I believe your words?"

"Since the young master is so stubborn, it seems that we can only fight to the death." The laughter that sounded like a bell gradually faded away, and then the familiar sound of fighting came in again.

Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips tightly and listened nervously to the sounds outside.

After a while, the sound of fighting came outside her door.

After another half an hour, the outside gradually returned to calm.

"Is the girl awake?" the masked man's voice came from outside.

Zuo Xiangning opened the door and looked at the man standing at the door.

"Why are you up?" The man reached out to help her, but looked at the blood on his hands. He quickly took it back and said, "You are recovering from your illness. Go back to bed and lie down."

"Are you injured?" Zuo Xiangning looked at the blood dripping down his hand and frowned.

"Slight injury." The man said lightly, and pretended to wipe the blood with his sleeve unintentionally. However, not only was it not wiped clean, but his whole hand was covered in blood.

The masked man sent everyone outside, "You all go down and get bandaged."

"Shall I bandage it for you too?" Zuo Xiangning said, "I have a bottle of trauma medicine here, it should be very useful."

"Then I'll trouble you." The man said, entered the room, and began to take off his clothes in front of Zuo Xiangning.

"Just roll up your sleeves, there's no need to take off your clothes." Zuo Xiangning said hurriedly to the man.

"I have a serious injury on my shoulder." The man took off his black coat, and his white coat was stained with blood.

After the man took off his shirt, Zuo Xiangning's eyes lingered on his shoulders for a moment, then followed the diagonal one-foot-long scar on her back to the man's lower back.

There was a long, thin scar there, thick in the middle and thin at the ends.

Zuo Xiangning's face changed slightly.

Ling Xiao also had an injury here, which she helped to heal. Her fingers moved toward the scar, and when she was less than an inch away from it, she stopped.

"Are you seriously injured?" the man asked.

Zuo Xiangning quickly retracted her hand and asked, "The scar on the back of your name is quite long. How did you get it?"

"Last time, I fell from a height and landed on my back, and was injured by a stone." The man said.

Zuo Xiangning's eyes were fixed on the injury on her waist. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "There is also a long and thin scar on your waist. How did you get it?"

The man hesitated and said, "He was injured with a hidden weapon."

After he finished speaking, he felt the unusual silence of the woman behind him, and he turned to look at the dazed woman.

"What else do you want to ask?"

The woman raised her eyes and looked into the man's eyes, and said softly without answering the question: "I hate being deceived by others, and I hate being abandoned by others, especially the people I care about. If they treat me like this, the more I will hate them."

The man looked at her, the corners of his lips moved, but he said nothing.

Zuo Xiangning, who had been staring at him, could only see his lips and nothing else.

Frustrated, she took out a handkerchief and wiped away the blood around the wound, then carefully sprinkled the powder on his wound.

Zuo Xiangning put the remaining half bottle of medicine in front of him and said, "Apply again in three days."

The man turned his head and looked at her, "In about an hour, we will enter the capital city, and you can have a good rest."

Zuo Xiangning sighed, "What should I do after arriving in the capital?"

"What can you do?" The masked man said, "Of course you are with me."

"I have caused too many troubles, and they will continue to happen even after entering the capital. I guess you must be busy with something very important when you rush to the capital this time. Taking me with you will only make things difficult for you."

"Then what do you want? Do you want me to throw you on the street and let you fend for yourself and be slaughtered by others?" the masked man asked.

Zuo Xiangning pursed her lower lip, "How about sending me to Prince Chu's Mansion. As long as my eldest sister is here, she can protect me."

"I told you that the King of Chu also sent people to look for you. What does he mean? I haven't figured it out yet, but you want to send him to your door?" The masked man said: "Are you crazy? And now I'm afraid Prince Chu's Mansion is an unsafe place, and your sister can't protect herself."

"What do you mean by this?" Zuo Xiangning felt nervous and stood up from the chair. "What happened to my sister? Where is Brother Hong? Is he okay now?"

"The emperor is seriously ill, and several princes are busy fighting for the heir. King Chu has the best chance of winning, but he has also become a thorn in everyone's side. Now even a mouse can't even think of running into Prince Chu's palace." The man said, "You can only follow me now. It’s the safest.”

Zuo Xiangning could no longer speak.

She sat back on the chair and asked worriedly: "Are Princess Chu and the emperor's grandson okay now?"

"They are fine now, but it's hard to say whether they will be fine in the future."

Zuo Xiangning pondered for a moment and said: "The emperor has always liked the emperor's eldest grandson. No one should dare to touch him easily. As for Princess Chu, as long as she doesn't make a big mistake, no one can easily change her position as princess."

"The King of Chu has newly married two concubines. Their families are both from martial arts backgrounds, and they are not from the same sect as the Zuo family and the Jiang family."

Zuo Xiangning was slightly shocked when she heard this.

Zuo's father of the Zuo family was ill at home and could only rely on Zuo Zixi, so the Zuo family was considered a martial artist.

The main concubine of the King of Chu was a military general. Logically speaking, the concubines of the King of Chu should be mainly civil servants, but the King of Chu chose military generals instead.

Could it be the same as in the previous life, but Concubine Liu will be replaced by another woman?
