Chapter 227 Catch the Assassin!
In the previous life, the gold bracelet inlaid with seven-color gemstones belonged to her, so Xinmeng didn't think there was anything wrong with accepting this gift so readily.

In other words, she deliberately ignored the purpose of the Eighth Prince giving it to her, and what it meant for her to accept it.

At night, without lighting the lamp, she opened the window to let the cold moonlight into the room, and wiped the dagger in her hand with a white cloth over and over again.

The blood on the knife had already been cleaned, but there were inevitably some microscopic blood in the gap between the handle and the blade, which could never be removed.

She will never forget that day when she pierced Xiao Yi's soft abdomen with a short knife, the feeling that jumped in her heart instantly.

Carefree, but endless sadness flows slowly afterwards.

In the previous life, she died at Xiao Yi's hands, and she was so full of hatred that she wished she could eat his flesh and drink his blood.But her undying love for Xiao Yi was also true.

These two emotions are intertwined, and to describe it in one word, it is love and hate.

After rebirth, she retained not only memories, but also emotions.Because of them, she showed mercy to the Seventh Prince Xiao Yi, and could not like the Prince Xiao Qian no matter what, only the Eighth Prince Xiao Lang was an anomaly.

But today Xiao Lang sent a gold bracelet, which made her wonder, did she really have no intersection with him in the previous life?
But no matter how much she thought about it, she could only remember the rumors about him and the faint figure she saw from afar at the annual banquet in the palace.

With a soft sigh, Xinmeng put away the dagger.

Maybe she can use it for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet tomorrow night.It's always good to be prepared in advance and take precautions.

The prince Xiao Qian is a hypocrite, and the seventh prince Xiao Yi is a cold and decisive person.She didn't want to fall into someone's trick of cooking rice tomorrow night.

She looked at the room she was in under the bright moonlight. It hadn't been lived in for more than half a year, but it didn't have the musty smell that had been vacant for a long time.A whole set of mahogany furniture is placed in the right place, without extra decoration, which perfectly matches the owner's personality who likes simplicity and does not like luxury.

A face with clear eyebrows appeared in front of her eyes, Xinmeng smiled slightly, thinking that in three months, the eldest brother should be back.

The night gradually deepened, but Xinmeng did not feel sleepy.

she is waiting...

"Come on, catch the assassin!" In the silent night, the woman's sharp cry suddenly woke up the sleeping people.

One place, two places, three places... The lights in each courtyard of the General's Mansion turned on one after another.

The night watchmen held torches and searched for the so-called assassins, and some servants also participated.

Xinmeng closed the window and sat quietly in the darkness, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.

As expected, he did come, to find her.

Unfortunately, she didn't want to see him, let alone listen to his so-called explanation.

Therefore, she purposely hid in the courtyard of her eldest brother Shen Che, and let Songchun hide in the dark outside Fuyun courtyard. When she saw him, she immediately shouted "grab the assassin" to prevent him from approaching her boudoir.

With such a big commotion, he must not dare to stay in the general's mansion any longer.But just in case, she still decided to stay in the Green Bamboo Garden for one night, and return to Fuyun Garden before dawn tomorrow morning.

"Search carefully, don't miss any suspicious place."

"Captain, the eldest son's yard is unoccupied, do you want to search it too?"

"Stupid! It's just that no one lives there, so it's easy to become a hiding place for assassins."

"Yes, yes, you come with me."

Xinmeng in the room was secretly annoyed, she only wanted to scare Xiao Lang away, but forgot that the soldiers guarding the mansion wanted to search the mansion.
