I opened my eyes wide in horror, and watched an arrow pierce straight into Han Ruoshi's back shoulder. She let out a scream and fell softly into Pei Yuanxiu's arms.

Blood stained them both!

What's going on?

How could there be an arrow?

I couldn't believe my eyes. I looked at Pei Yuanxiu in horror and looked shocked. I hugged Han Ruoshi, reached out with one hand to cover the place where the bow and arrow shot. Blood gushed out along his fingers, immediately dyeing most of Han Ruoshi's back red.

Just now, the arrow was heading towards Pei Yuanxiu. I could see clearly, but Han Ruoshi reached out to support his shoulder, and the arrow was shot on her back shoulder by chance!

"elder sister!"

Han Zitong was already shocked. At this time, he hurriedly rushed over and hugged Han Ruoshi's arm: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

The guards who were following them rushed over at this time, surrounded them in the center, and blocked them with their bodies.

“…!”

I seemed to be struck by lightning and my whole body trembled.

This scene reminded me of the night in Jixiang Village. It was almost the same scene. Pei Yuanxiu was shot into his heart by an arrow that suddenly appeared. The guards immediately rushed up to surround him in the middle and blocked him with flesh and blood.

So many years have passed. Although that incident has almost changed my life, it has been a long time and he has not mentioned it again, so everyone has almost forgotten this incident. But I never thought that history will happen again after so many years.

Could it be that the person who wanted to assassinate him had taken action again?

Who is it? Who is it?

I turned around and looked around. There were all the people around me, some were still fighting with those people, and some were already feeling that something was wrong and they retreated. The soldiers on both sides were about to come to us at this time. Wu Yanqiu, who was on the prison slaughter platform in front, also hurried down from the prison slaughter platform with other officials in the prison.

Not them...not them...

Who is that? Who will it be?

I thought about it, and then subconsciously turned around and looked at the February Hong on that side.

The originally quiet bamboo curtain on the third floor had been raised by the guards on both sides. At first glance, I saw Pei Yuanhao standing up from his seat, looking down with a surprised expression.

He obviously saw the scene just now.

Obviously, it was beyond his expectations.

Immediately, he raised his head and looked around. After a rough glance, he waved his hand and several guards ran over behind him. He seemed to have given some instructions in a low voice. Those people immediately turned around and left without looking, and knew that they must have come downstairs.

But I also know that it's not him.

Since it’s not him, who is it? Who is it that has to take Pei Yuanxiu’s life?

At this moment, not only was the whole scene chaotic, but my mood was also completely chaotic. When I turned around, I saw that Pei Yuanxiu had already picked up Han Ruoshi, covered in blood. The guards immediately surrounded them and protected them tightly with a tight seam. Pei Yuanxiu raised his head and looked at me, and said with a heavy face: "Qingying, come here!"

“…”

I stood in the crowd, being hit by more and more people running around. I almost staggered and fell several times, but I still barely supported myself, tightened the heavy weight of my palm, almost knocking my palms that hurt my palms. I gritted my teeth and walked towards them.

As soon as I approached, several guards immediately came forward and protected me.

He looked down at me, and had no time to say anything else, and said directly: "Go!"

I was half-helped and half-pushed by the guards, and my feet were stiff. After walking two steps, I looked back and looked back. The execution ground that was pretending to be serious and vicious, after experiencing the melee just now, there was only a mess left. Almost all the people had dispersed, and the ground was covered with blood from unknown people. I saw Yunxiang also mixed in the crowd, looking back at me, and retreating to the long street next to me.

Finally, I took a look at the third floor of Er Yuehong. There was no one there, only a slightly shaking bamboo curtain left, swaying lightly in the wind.

After our group crossed the river, we got on the carriage and rushed all the way, finally returning to Jinling Mansion.

Because Han Ruoshi was injured, Pei Yuanxiu kept holding her tightly and sat in the same carriage. When our carriage stopped, I got off from the carriage behind and saw that they had already walked into the mansion.

And on the ground, there were almost dazzling blood sprinkled with bright red drops.

I don’t know if it was because of the blood-red color or the bloody smell that made me feel a little lost. When I walked into the door, I almost tripped by the threshold. After staggering, I raised my head and saw that there was no one in front of me.

I heard the noisy sound in front of me. He was telling me to ask Yao Lao to come there to treat Han Ruoshi's injuries. The servants and maids were even more frightened at this moment. They all followed and served. There were only a few strange doormen left at the door. They looked at me silently, and said nothing, and turned around and left.

I stood at the somewhat empty door and stood for a while.

Fortunately, Su Su came soon. When she saw me standing there dullly, she hurried over and grabbed my arm: "Miss!"

I looked up at her: "Yeah."

"How are you?"

"Um?"

"I just came over and heard them say on the way that someone was injured, aren't you?"

As she said, she grabbed my arm and looked up and down. Seeing her scared face, I hurriedly said, "It's not me, it's Han Ruoshi. She was shot by a cold arrow."

"Cold arrow?"

When Su Su heard this, her brows frowned, as if she had remembered something, and hurriedly looked at me: "Whose cold arrow is it?"

Speaking of this, I felt a little perceptive, but a little sleepy. When I saw my pale face and tired expression, Su Su hurriedly said, "Are you very tired? So should you go back and rest first?"

“…”

I was silent for a moment and looked at the place where the noise came - logically speaking, as the wife of this mansion, I should have gone over and checked it out, but if I really went over, it would be boring to make myself. Besides, I still need time to digest everything that happened on the execution ground just now, and even accept it.

So I said lightly: "Well, please help me back."

Su Su hurriedly supported me, and the two of them walked towards the inner yard. While walking on the road, I asked casually: "By the way, why did you suddenly get out of the yard?"

"Oh, today Yao Lao came to give Miss Miaoyan acupuncture. He asked me to wait outside, but I heard a noise outside at the door. Hearing them say that the young master and the eldest lady have returned home, and said that someone was injured. I was worried that you were injured, so I hurried over to come and see."

I nodded and suddenly came to my senses: "Old Yao is still in the inner courtyard?"

"It should be still here."

When I remembered the injuries on Han Ruoshi just now, and they asked Yao Lao to come and see her for injuries. If I was exhausted, things would be complicated, so I hurriedly accelerated.

Su Su may have realized this and helped me walk forward, but just as we walked to the bridgehead of the small bridge outside the inner courtyard, my steps suddenly stopped.

All the chaos in my mind and those chaotic thoughts suddenly became clear at this moment.

When Su Su saw me suddenly stopping and looked at me strangely.

I was silent for a while, then turned to look at her and said, "Su Su, I will explain something to you."

When she heard that I was going to explain things, she nodded immediately and looked at me seriously. I leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear. At first Su Su could still listen quietly, but when she heard it behind her, her face changed suddenly. After I finished speaking, she looked up at me in shock, with a disbelief expression: "Miss, this--"

"Remember my words."

"..." She seemed to be a little unacceptable, and she was there for a long time, then raised her head and looked at me, and said, "I, I'm listening to the eldest lady."

"Um."

"only--"

"Don't ask why."

Usually when I explain this, she will definitely execute it without saying a word. Today, she did agree, but after a moment of silence, when I was about to continue walking forward, she still looked up at me again: "Miss, will it really be like you think?"

My steps sank again.

She asked me this way, but I hadn't asked myself this way, but no matter how many questions I asked myself, no matter how many answers, I still made such a decision at this moment.

"I hope, not."

After saying that, she stopped talking, and she hurriedly followed and walked forward. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the gate of the inner courtyard, she heard a noise. When she approached, she found that it was Han Ruoshi and the others who were arguing with Xiao Ni and Xixi at the door. Cao Hu and the others seemed to hear the sound, but they didn't say a word.

When I walked over, I happened to hear the maid say viciously: "If you don't let Lao Yao come out, I will tell you that our eldest lady is seriously injured now, and it is the young master who asked us to invite Lao Yao. If our eldest lady makes a mistake, don't talk about you Miss Miaoyan, even if your wife dies, you can't afford to pay!"

As soon as he said this, Su Su next to him immediately changed his face.

My face also darkened, but before I could speak, I heard a heavy voice: "Who said this?"

When he looked up, he saw that Yao Lao had already walked out of the bamboo forest. He was still holding the medicine box in his hand, as if he had finished applying acupuncture to Miaoyan. When he heard this, his face darkened and he looked at the maid who was talking with a hint of anger.

The maid would avoid the important things. When she saw him coming out, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Old Master, hurry up and take a look. In order to save the young master, the lady was stabbed with an arrow. If you don't go there, you're afraid--"

When Yao Lao heard this, he frowned: "What?"

At this moment, I walked over and said, "What she said is true."
