Uncle Nine

Chapter 40
"Turn off the lights." Zhao Shuo walked towards the bed with a flick of his sleeves.

Li Huan understood, "Yes."

With an order, all the lights in the corridor of Yangxin Pavilion were extinguished.Except for Zhao Shuo's bedroom, the entire Yangxin Pavilion was plunged into darkness.

It's pitch black and blurry to be considered comfortable.

Xia Yu didn't expect that because of her careless move, she stepped on a roof tile and her whereabouts were revealed.With fast feet, Xia Yu galloped on the roof, ignoring the commotion below, just wanting to run back.

If you are discovered, you should return to Furong Garden as soon as possible.

Hua Sheng yelled, "Who is it? Come! There are thieves! There are assassins!"

A large number of palace guards came from all directions, and it was impossible to go back the same way.

Xia Yu was frightened and immediately turned down the roof.A donkey rolled and landed firmly, and a black figure quickly shuttled back and forth in the corridor.

The flames slowly gathered, and it was about to become a bird in a cage and a turtle in an urn.Looking around quickly, she saw the maids running around in the corridor at a glance.A servant girl left alone and ran into the darkness.

Xia Yu took a stride, performed a few beautiful volleys, and then a hand knife landed on the back of the maid's neck, and the maid fell to the ground.Fortunately, before the guards approached, Xia Yu quickly dragged the maid into a corner.

When Xia Yu came out of the darkness, she had already changed into the maid's clothes.Taking a deep breath, he lowered his head halfway, pretending to be panic-stricken, and galloped in the corridor.

Breaking away from the encirclement and the pursuit of the guards, Xia Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, she seemed to be a little lost in this random run.The courtyards of Prince Rui's Mansion are almost all the same, it is difficult for those who are not familiar with them to tell the direction.

The courtyard ahead was pitch black, with only a little light.May I ask, in Prince Rui's mansion, where the lights are brightly lit, how can there be such a fuel-efficient owner?No lights at night?And the walls of this courtyard are very high, a little higher than the outer walls of Prince Rui's Mansion, if there is no special meaning, it would be too strange.

Could it be Zhao Shuo's best friend who was kicked out of the "cold palace"?

There was no one around, there were guards everywhere, but no one approached this courtyard.Xia Yu's heart suffocated, could the tiger be inside?But—since there are no lights, does it mean that there are no guards here?If there were no guards, she would be safe by hiding here and waiting for the guards to hunt her down.

Now that the guards are searching for people everywhere, it is still a question of whether she can return to Furong Garden, it is always right to hide.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu jumped up and climbed the wall to enter.

There was no sound in the yard, and no movement could be heard.

Suddenly, Xia Yu's back felt cold, and she felt panicked, she subconsciously shrank her body, and walked inside with her waist bent.The lamp should be the main house, who could be living in such a strange place?

The closer I got to the light, the more uneasy I felt, as if there were a pair of eyes staring at me from behind.But looking around, there was no one.

Turning over and climbing up the beam, Xia Yu lay down on the skylight with a golden hook hanging upside down.

It was fairly bright in the room, but there seemed to be no one there.

She moved her body and found a pair of men's boots in front of the bed in the master bedroom.These boots are embroidered with golden silk auspicious clouds and dark patterns, and the candlelight glistens with golden light, it looks like a good thing at first glance.The curtain of the bed was hanging down, so she couldn't see who was on the bed.

The one who can afford to wear gold silk embroidered boots should be one of Zhao Shuo's favorite "concubines", right?

It's a pity that I can't see the beauty.

If you can't see it, you can't see it. Xia Yu landed on the ground, whispering to herself as if relieved, "Fortunately, there is no one."

As soon as these words came out, a familiar low voice came from behind, "Who? Dare to be presumptuous here?"

Li Huan? ? !

Dare she bravely break into the tiger's den?

It can't be such a coincidence, it's Zhao Shuo inside, right?
Xia Yu really wanted to slap herself in the face, in Xia He's words: Every year he hunts geese, but today the geese blinded him.

After pinching her thigh fiercely, Xia Yu plopped and knelt down to Li Huan, crying with the most authentic voice, "My lord, spare me, spare my life! There was an assassin in the mansion just now, and the servants were afraid, so they ran out. Please forgive me, Lord Li!"

"Even if there are assassins, they won't be able to make trouble in the Yangxin Pavilion. Why are you panicking?" Li Huan stepped forward and stood in front of Xia Yu, "If there is a next time, I won't be merciless. Get up!"

"Thank you sir!" Xia Yu stood up wiping her tears, turned around and left.

"Wait a minute." Li Huan said suddenly, "I don't seem to have seen you before. Are you new here?"

Xia Yu's heart twitched, damn Li Gouleg, don't let the young master turn over, otherwise——she clenched her sleeves subconsciously.Xia Yu is well aware of Li Huan's kung fu, to escape from under his nose is as difficult as going to heaven.

Fortunately, it's dark now, maybe—you can take a gamble!
Rolling her eyes, she took a deep breath.

Li Huan was approaching behind him step by step. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would run away and flee into the rockery beside her.

Count silently in my heart: one!two! ...

Before "Three" came out, Zhao Shuo's cold voice came from inside the room, "Who is outside?"

Li Huan stopped in his tracks, and replied respectfully, "My lord, she is the maidservant of the night watch."

A cold voice came from inside, "Come in."

Xia Yu raised her head in astonishment, her heart skipped a beat, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

It's over, it's Zhao Laojiu!
