The demon queen seduces the cold emperor

Chapter 141 Mysterious Assassin, Critical Situation

This cry made the sleeping Xiao Shuanzi somewhat conscious, and when he rubbed his sleepy eyes and was about to sit up, the black figure had already jumped up, "Papa!" The sleeping hole made him tilt his head and fell into a deep sleep again!

After Duan Jinchu yelled out, seeing the black shadow leaping towards Xiao Shuanzi, she thought that this man was going to kill Xiao Shuanzi in a hurry, so she rushed over and hugged his waist and pulled him back. The man's arms were long enough, He didn't pay any attention to her, and didn't turn around until he fainted Xiao Shuanzi, pulled the black scarf covering his face, and whispered anxiously, "Xiao Chuanzi, it's me!"

"Who?" Duan Jinchu was taken aback, his eyes flickered twice, he was startled suddenly, and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Shunzi! Are you brother Xiao Shunzi?"

"Yeah." Xiao Shunzi responded, pulled Duan Jinchu's hand away, closed the window, then quickly took off the night clothes covering the eunuch's uniform, casually gathered them into a ball, jumped onto Duan Jinchu's bed, and slipped into the bed. He got into the quilt and stuffed the night clothes under the mattress.

This series of actions took less than half a minute!
"You go this way! You go that way! The others follow me!"

Outside the courtyard, there was a commotion suddenly, with the sound of chaotic footsteps approaching, countless torches illuminated the courtyard in an instant, and a slightly familiar voice came, Duan Jinchu was startled, walked to the bed in two steps, and said in surprise, "Brother Shunzi, you..."

"Hush——" Xiao Shunzi pressed his index finger to his lips, glanced vigilantly at the direction of the door, pulled Duan Jinchu's hand, and whispered eagerly: "Don't say anything, come to bed and lie down together!"

Duan Jinchu's heart was startled by that eager look. He looked at Xiao Shunzi in disbelief, hesitated for two seconds, heard the sound of footsteps getting closer outside, gritted his teeth, and resolutely went to bed and lay on the outside. Push it to the inside, and then put down the bed curtain.

"Xiao Chuzi, thank you!" Xiao Shunzi gasped a little anxiously, with beads of sweat dripping down his forehead, and said in a hoarse voice.

Duan Jinchu heard the movement, and spoke quickly: "What are you talking about? You survived Li Swill's beating for me, stood up to protect me when I was in danger, and treated me well. How can I abandon you?"

As soon as the words fell, the door was slapped on the outside with a burst of "Papa Papa!", accompanied by a sharp shout from the Imperial Forest Army, "The people inside come out for inspection!"

"What should I do?" Duan Jinchu hurriedly asked, feeling a little cold in his hands and feet.

"Don't worry about it, wait for them to break in and wait and see what happens!" Xiao Shunzi's eyes lit up, his right hand reached behind his waist, and touched a dagger!
"Master Baoyan, the row to the east was not found!"

"Master Baoyan, there is no trace of the assassin in the south!"

"The assassin must be here. He knocked open the door and searched from door to door. Keep your eyes open. The assassin is injured on his back. He must not be far away!"

"Yes, Lord Yan!"

Noisy voices kept coming, and then there was an imperial army slamming into the door. There was a momentary blankness in Duan Jinchu's bewildered head, assassin?Injuried?
In the midst of the chaos, there was a sound of "bang--", the door was smashed open, a group of imperial guards poured in, countless swords shone coldly in the room, some people searched the front room, and some rushed in. Inner room!

Duan Jinchu held his breath and focused his attention, pretending to be calm on his face, but his hands and feet were shaking like Shakang. Xiao Shunzi gently held her hand behind him, the temperature from his palm made her gradually calm down, and her brain was spinning like lightning and flint. Keep thinking about countermeasures!

A sword knocked off the quilt covering Xiao Shuanzi's body, and an imperial guard stepped forward to check with a sword, turned over him, his back was intact, and shook his head. Where there are no people, only behind the curtain is left!
The atmosphere was strange and weird. The small inner room was already crowded with five imperial guards rushing in. The other imperial guards who had searched outside to no avail followed in. Immediately, the room was filled with water!
Countless sharp eyes shot at the heavy curtain like arrows. Inside the bed curtain, Duan Jinchu's heart beat faster and faster, as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest. Like Xiao Shunzi, I felt more nervous than ever before!

A pair of sharp swords pointed at the curtain, and the Imperial Forest Army was slowly approaching, signaling each other with their eyes, and at the same time raised their swords in a tacit understanding, almost wanting to pierce through——

"what--"

"I'm so sleepy! Who's arguing?"

A yawn suddenly sounded from inside the curtain, followed by a lazy and hoarse voice that seemed to have just woken up from sleep, with words of complaint and getting up!

The Imperial Army was stunned, and quickly opened the curtain with a sword, and the bed curtain was also pulled open at this time. Duan Jinchu poked his head out, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and yawning again and again. When he woke up a little bit, his eyes narrowed A narrow gap, "Who is it? It's the middle of the night, why don't people sleep?"

"There's such a big commotion outside, how can you still be able to sleep? Get out of bed immediately, and get checked!" The leader of the Imperial Forest Army yelled fiercely, and pointed his sword at Duan Jinchu's throat!
Duan Jinchu seemed to be completely awakened by the sudden roar, his eyes widened, and he looked at the group of soldiers in armor in astonishment, his face immediately showed a stern look, "Presumptuous! Your Imperial Forest Army broke into it in the middle of the night What are you doing in my house? Don't you know who I am?"

The imperial forest army pointing at the sword was waiting to answer, another footstep sounded, the curtain in front of the screen was lifted, and it was Yan Xi, the deputy commander of the imperial forest army, who came in!

The entire respect room was searched, but this room was left with his subordinates who had been in it for so long and hadn't come out, so as soon as he entered, his sharp eyes stared at Duan Jinchu and the bed curtain that hadn't been fully lifted!
Just looking at each other, Yan Xi's eyes immediately filled with astonishment, but before he could react, Duan Jinchu had already yelled out, "It turned out to be you!"

Yanxi raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "The bed curtains were opened, and an assassin sneaked into the Chaoyang Palace to assassinate the emperor, and was injured by the emperor's palace mechanism. We chased all the way here and lost the trace of the assassin. Please cooperate with the inspection!"

"What? Assassinate the emperor?" Duan Jinchu was startled, his palms began to get cold again, Xiao Shunzi actually went to assassinate the emperor?Isn't that the task that Tianying will give her?Could it be that he is also a member of the Tianyinghui?No, it's impossible, if so, how could he not recognize her, and Xiao Ruoyun and the others never mentioned it!

After a while, Yanxi spoke again, "Xiao Chuzi, I know that you are the eunuch serving tea in front of the imperial court, and you are very favored by the emperor, but..."

"Hehe, my lord, you're thinking too much. I'm just sleeping soundly. I was disturbed by you all of a sudden. I'm just in a bad mood. Since it's a routine matter, how dare I stop it?"
