How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

A graceful black shadow passed through the eaves of the Prime Minister's Mansion under the cover of night. Her movements were light and her footsteps made no sound.

The servants patrolling below did not notice the uninvited guest, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was as peaceful today as usual.

The black shadow has been waiting here for four hours, from afternoon to night, without moving a single step.

After patiently waiting, she slowly figured out the servants' movements and began to act.

Her name is Mo Li, and she is an orphan.

She wears the night as her clothes and licks blood on the tip of her knife. This is what she does.

Bah, bah, bah. She is a thief, not a killer. She only wants money, not life.

Of course, as a roaming thief, she has never failed.

The reason is that those who failed have been locked up in the cells of the Heavenly Guards.

No, that’s not the point. The point is that this is the Prime Minister’s Mansion, and there must be many valuable treasures.

You ask her why she targeted the Xiangguo Mansion? Nonsense, of course the Xiangguo Mansion is rich.

Do you understand the principle of seeking wealth and honor through risk? If you don’t open a business for a year, you can make a living after opening it. This is the quality of a thief.

And as far as she knew, the current prime minister was a treacherous minister who oppressed the people, and all this money must have been ill-gotten gains.

She just took back the money that didn't belong to the Xiangguo Mansion. Can this be called stealing? This is called returning the property to its original owner.

"Great, the opportunity has come."

Mo Li jumped down from the roof and stopped in front of a room that looked very rich.

According to her observation, there is a shift change every ten minutes, and the shift change time is about five seconds.

That means she only has five seconds to act.

For a big thief, five seconds is more than enough.

She took out a piece of wire from her pocket and fiddled with the lock skillfully for a few times, and the lock opened.

At this time, the sound of footsteps was heard not far away, and the servants who were changing shifts were about to pass by here.

She jumped lightly and entered the house. The door was closed gently and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

Mo Li took a deep breath, calmed down his nervous mood, and looked around.

She has a natural night vision, and she can see things clearly even in the pitch-dark night.

This place is worthy of being the Prime Minister's Mansion. It is full of things she has never seen before, including paintings by famous artists, antique teapots, and calligraphy by famous people. Any one of these items would be priceless if taken outside.

"Okay, now take away everything you can."

Mo Li produced a bag from somewhere and prepared to take away everything inside.

After a while, her bag was filled with things. Since they were things from the Prime Minister's Mansion, they would definitely be valuable if sold.

But she also knew that these things could not be seen in public and could only be sold on the black market.

After packing a bag, Mo Li found that there were still many things that he hadn't taken away.

Although greed is a taboo for a thief, she had come here with great difficulty, and since these things were all looted, she had no guilt in her heart.

She conjured up a sack and happily filled it with the things in the house.

"Want me to hold it for you?"

"Oh, thank you."

Mo Li responded subconsciously and handed the bag that had been packed to the other party.

"hiss……"

The next moment, she couldn't help but hold her breath and felt a chill on her back.

When did it start? She didn't even notice that the other person was standing behind her.

Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy!

Mo Li didn't care about the treasures in the bag. He stepped forward and quickly distanced himself from the other party with the other unfilled bag.

Her target was the skylight in front. Although it was high up, she could easily reach it with her lightness skills.

If she was caught, she would suffer a terrible fate...

"Ouch."

Mo Li suddenly screamed, and seemed to be tripped by something, and the contents of the bag scattered all over the floor.

Tongxin twisted her waist slightly and retracted the thin chain around her waist.

At this time, Mo Li also saw the other person's appearance clearly. She had red hair and green eyes, a girl who looked about the same age as her.

However, there was a strange flash of blood in the girl's eyes, which she had only seen in those killers who killed people indiscriminately.

Mo Li couldn't help but stand there in a daze, staring at the girl in front of him with a pair of purple eyes, and said in disbelief:

"Bi Yan, why is it you? Aren't you dead?"

"..."

Tongxin looked at the man in black in front of her, only to see him take off his mask, revealing a delicate face.

There was a clear scar on her right eye, which brought back memories for Tong Xin.

But these memories are not very good.

"You don't remember me? We used to be companions."

Mo Li continued speaking, stepping back slightly, but all her subtle movements were seen by Tong Xin.

"remember."

Tong Xin nodded.

"Right, since we know each other, then just let me go. I promise to keep this secret for you."

Seeing an opportunity, Mo Li couldn't help but continue speaking, while at the same time he was already preparing to escape.

"Dead people are better at keeping secrets."

Tongxin raised a slender hand and gently patted her neck.

Mo Li’s eyes went dark, and before he could react, he lost consciousness on the spot.

……

"Um...where is this place?"

Mo Li slowly opened her eyes, and when she woke up, she found that her hands and feet were tightly tied with hemp ropes, and the technique was very professional, but this method of binding was a bit too embarrassing.

Her hands, feet, and body were tied up, so she couldn't escape even if she had great abilities.

Mo Li raised her head and saw a man sitting in front of her. He looked quite handsome and was her type.

But her current position doesn't allow her to think so much.

She is now like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

"Master, what are you going to do with her?"

Tong Xin asked, she looked at her former companions and said calmly:

"Why don't we cut her hamstrings first to prevent her from running away."

"Woooo..."

Mo Li was so frightened that her pretty face turned pale. She shook her head frantically and made a whimpering sound from her mouth.

"Tong'er, take the rag out of her mouth first."

Xu Chengling looked at the girl in black in front of him. It seemed that she was the one who knocked him down today.

If you look closely, she is pretty, but it's a pity that she could do anything else but become a thief and was caught.

"Bi Yan, is he your master now?"

When Mo Li saw Tong Xin calling the man "Lord", he couldn't help but ask.

"You know her?"

Xu Chengling looked at Tongxin. This female thief seemed to know her.

"She used to be part of an organization, but she didn't dare to kill anyone, so she was abandoned by the organization."

Tong Xin nodded and said.

Xu Chengling seemed to be thinking about something. Speaking of Tongxin's origin, according to her own description, she was adopted by a killer organization since she was a child. Later, because this organization committed many evil deeds, it was wiped out by elite forces sent by the court.

Xu Chengling still remembers that it was raining heavily that day and a girl covered in blood fell at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, with blood all over the ground beneath her.

The girl was dying, her empty green eyes staring at him, like a weak kitten with nowhere to go. If left alone, she would soon die here.

He has red hair and green eyes, nicknamed "Blood Yama". He is the top killer of the organization that was purged by the imperial court, and has killed countless people.

From that day on, there was no more Bloody Yama in the world, only a personal maid named Tongxin.

The fact that she is still alive must not be known to the court, otherwise she will be killed.

Tong Xin looked at the girl in black in front of her, and a murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

It seems that she can't be left alive.

Chapter 21: Are you still short of maids?

Xu Chengling carefully looked at the girl in nightgown in front of him and found that she was about the same age as Tongxin, with a pretty face and a bit of childishness on her face.

She gives people the feeling of a little heroine who comes out to travel the world with a pacifier in her mouth.

Judging from Tongxin's reaction, she seemed to be Tongxin's former companion, but he had never heard her mention her.

He thought that everyone Tongxin knew was dead, but he didn't expect that there was still one alive.

At this time, Mo Li raised his head, staring at him with a pair of lively purple eyes, and hummed softly:

"Hmph, if you walk along the river often, you will get your feet wet. Now that you have caught me, what are you going to do with me? Are you going to hand me over to the government?"

Xu Chengling smiled but said nothing.

"Are you planning to lock me up and humiliate me slowly? Gu, I will never give in."

Mo Li made a gurgling sound and looked like he would rather die than surrender.

She had seen scenes in novels like this, where the heroine, a thief, was caught by the hero, and after some indescribable training, she finally surrendered to him.

Could it be that he also wanted to do that unspeakable thing to me?

The more Mo Li thought about it, the more scared he became, but for some reason he felt a little bit of anticipation.

"Well, it's impossible to make a woman submit in real life. You've read too many pornographic books."

Xu Chengling shrugged and hit him mercilessly.

This female thief seems to have a problem with her brain. Are all the people from that organization like this?

"Ah."

Tongxin suddenly sneezed, as if someone was scolding her behind her back.

"Master, how about we silence him?"

Tong Xin suggested from the side.

"Wuwu... Don't kill me, just humiliate me."

When Mo Li heard that he was going to silence him, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and he lost all his courage.

"Tong'er, untie her first."

Xu Chengling said that he didn't know where Tongxin learned the binding method from, but it reminded him of some indescribable works.

"Yes."

Tong Xin nodded and untied the other person.

After being untied, Mo Li suddenly jumped up, looked at the man in front of him with some confusion and asked:
