At night, the lights of thousands of houses flicker and dim in the night wind, just like the ever-changing hearts of people.

In the study room of the Third Prince's Mansion, after discussing matters, the staff dispersed one after another. Luo Jingchen left behind his confidant Tang De, an espionage leader who had been with him since he was a child and was both master, servant and brother.

At this time, they were the only two people left in the study. Tang De saw that Luo Jingcheng's eyes were terrifyingly gloomy, but his expression also showed sternness, heartache and fear.

Seeing this, Tang De asked worriedly and hesitantly: "Your Highness, what about today's horse racing?"

The brush in Luo Jingchen's hand was almost crushed by him. "Tang De, let a few of your most capable and good-tongued people pretend to be people in the market, go to the places where the most people gather, and spread Princess Leyao's arrogance without leaving a trace.

Domineering, disregarding human life, and secretly murdering six maids. Remember, there must be no trace, and it must be well-founded. The circumstances of the murder of the maids can be appropriately exaggerated. Remember, it must not be found out that it is your person who spreads the news.

"

"Your Highness..."

This...will damage the princess's reputation.

Tang De hesitated for a moment, but when he received the frightening gaze from His Highness, he made a mental note and resolutely accepted the order: "I obey."

After Tang De went out, Luo Jingchen also put on night clothes and disappeared into the vast night.

In the palace, the Ziyun Palace in a quiet corner was quiet, and the night watch maid sat leaning against a pillar and taking a nap. In the inner hall, Cixuan sat on the bedside reading a book, and Jinyu was urged by her to go down to rest. The candlelight in the room swayed, and emitted sounds from time to time.

The crackling sound seemed to remind her to rest early.

When she saw something interesting, Ci Xuan habitually wanted to do some copying and annotation, but found that she had no pen. She got out of bed with her clothes on, came to the desk, and saw that the ink on the inkstone had been used up.

To write, I had to grind the ink again. It was late at night and I was afraid of making some noise if I was grinding the ink.

Forget it, thinking about it, Su Cixuan looked at her hands, her eyes darkened, and she had to put the book down.

Just as she was about to put out the candle, she suddenly heard the sound of slight footsteps outside the hall. Su Cixuan was startled, and a look of caution and vigilance suddenly filled her beautiful face. She held the candle in her hand and prepared to see what happened.

Unexpectedly, before she could get around the screen, she saw a tall figure flashing into the hall.

Su Cixuan suppressed the fear in her heart and thought to herself, such a tall figure was not a palace official in her palace!

Could it be that an assassin had broken in here? Thinking of this, Su Cixuan's heart suddenly rose to her throat, her eyes suddenly tightened, and she had already pulled out the silver hairpin from her hair with one hand.

"Cixuan, it's me." Perhaps sensing her defensiveness and fear, the visitor immediately spoke out.

"Your Highness?" Su Cixuan asked warily with her eyebrows twitching.

"It's me, Cixuan." Luo Jingchen's voice was full of concern.

Hearing the affirmative answer, Su Cixuan's heart beat faster and she became more panicked, but her guard did not drop because of this.

With panic, she thought for a while, but she still couldn't guess why he came. But no matter what the reason, he came late at night, alone and alone, which was shocking! Su Cixuan stood behind the screen, her heart beating wildly

, even her breathing was tight, she lowered her voice and said: "Your Highness comes late at night, and if someone discovers it, Cixuan will not be able to explain anything and will be doomed. No matter what the reason is for Your Highness, please come back quickly and we will talk about it tomorrow."

"Cixuan, don't be afraid. The people guarding outside your palace are already asleep, and no one will notice." He will naturally handle it properly, so how can he put her in such danger?

When Su Cixuan heard this, before she had time to say anything, she saw a figure flash and Luo Jingchen had strode to Su Cixuan, his eyes locked on her deeply, with pity and heartache in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, he came to her in complete disregard of etiquette. Su Cixuan's breath was suffocated, and his tall body cast a shadow in front of her.

"Your Highness, this is not etiquette. Your Highness, please get out quickly." At this moment, the person appeared in front of her, and Su Cixuan became even more panicked. She was afraid of disturbing others, so she could only lower her voice anxiously and urge him to leave quickly.

Of course Luo Jingchen wouldn't leave. He reached out and grabbed her shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Cixuan, don't be afraid, look at me."

Hearing this, Su Cixuan subconsciously raised her eyes to look at him as she was told. Her eyes were at a loss, but she was unexpectedly caught by his eyes. Her eyes went straight into his eyes, and reflected in his eyes.

she.

Su Cixuan was stunned for a moment. Even though she had a cold temperament, she had never looked at a man like this before, and it was still late at night. Su Cixuan's heart was beating wildly, without any structure, just like her nervous and chaotic heart.

Thoughts. After a moment, Su Cixuan suddenly woke up. What was she doing? She cursed herself in her heart, hurriedly avoided Luo Jingchen's eyes, forced herself to be calm, and kept her expression as cold as possible: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, to take such a risk."

Come here, Cixuan deserves to be treated with shame. Cixuan is fine. His Highness has also seen it. Please go back quickly."

Luo Jingchen seemed to have not heard her expulsion order. His deep eyes were still staring at her. Not only did he have no intention of going back, but he tried to hold her hand. Suddenly, the guard in Su Cixuan's heart rose again, and she hid.

Cairo Jingchen's hand subconsciously moved back, and he unconsciously raised his voice nervously and fearfully: "What is your highness going to do?"

However, Luo Jingchen didn't allow her to hide at all, and grabbed her wrist: "Don't be afraid, I'll look at your hands."

Cixuan, who was struggling, couldn't help but be startled when she heard this. Following his gaze, she saw that his attention was focused on her hands.

She suddenly understood that he was worried about her hands. Su Cixuan felt sad and her eyes turned slightly red.

"The medicine has been applied. It's okay. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Su Cixuan did not open her palms. When the horse went crazy today, in order not to be thrown away, she lay on the horse and held on to the reins and saddle desperately.

Because she was too frightened, she didn't feel any pain when she got off the horse. It wasn't until she returned to the palace that Jinyu exclaimed that her palms were blistered and bleeding. At that time, Cixuan slowly felt the pain, which was burning.

pain.
