Chapter 712 The Assassin and the Eldest Princess

The cold light is withdrawn.

But the sword was still pointed at Luo Qingzhou's throat, and the cold air stung his skin!

Luo Qingzhou stabilized the internal energy and blood surging in his body.

He raised his sleeves and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Just as he was thinking about whether to return to the underground again, Yue Wu's voice suddenly came from outside: "Your Highness, Yuan Zhong, the leader of the Royal Forest Army, has come and said that there is an assassin in the palace.

, I don’t know if he has escaped here. For the safety of His Highness, he hopes that His Highness can allow him to bring people in to search. Also, he hopes that His Highness can temporarily put away the underground formation. Their people are already underground, and they also want to go.

Let’s search the underground here.”

Nangong Huoyue's eyes were always fixed on the masked figure in front of him. Hearing this, he said calmly: "Let him go."

"yes!"

Yuewu immediately turned around and left.

Not long after, she came back and replied: "They have retreated to a distance and are guarding outside, saying that they are protecting the safety of His Highness."

Nangong Huoyue said no more, her eyes still staring at the motionless figure kneeling on one knee in front of her with her head lowered. Then she reached out and pulled off the red belt from the screen next to her, and slowly tied it around Yingying's hand.

slender waist.

After doing this, she glanced at the figure again, then turned around, stepped on the velvet carpet with her bare feet, and walked to the table next to her and sat down.

Then he picked up the flask, poured a glass of wine, and tasted it slowly.

In the room, there was silence.

Luo Qingzhou knelt on the ground with one knee, his throat was pressed against the tip of the sword, and there was no expression on his masked face. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, and he remained silent.

a long time.

Nangong Huoyuefang put down the wine glass, looked at him again, and said in a calm tone: "Have you seen my body?"

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and remained silent.

The tip of the sword that was at his throat suddenly pierced his skin with force.

A drop of blood spilled out along the tip of the sword.

Luo Qingzhou still didn't speak.

Nangong Huoyue picked up the wine pot, poured another glass of wine, and said, "Tell me why you appear here."

Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment and said: "I was wandering around the ground at will and broke in here accidentally. I didn't mean to offend, nor did I have any intention."

Nangong Huoyue looked at him and said, "But people outside say you are an assassin."

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said: "I will never dare to assassinate you..."

Nangong Huoyue said: "Oh? Do you know me?"

Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "As a person from Great Yan, who doesn't know about me, the Great Yan Heavenly Girl?"

Nangong Huoyue stared at the mask on his face for a while and ordered: "Take off the mask on your face."

Before Luo Qingzhou could do anything, a hand suddenly stretched out from beside him and took off the black tiger mask from his face.

After being injured by the old eunuch, his disguise technique had become ineffective.

Now, he has returned to his original body shape and Chu Feiyang's appearance.

He still lowered his head, looking intently, with a look of respect on his face.

Nangong Huoyue ordered again with a majestic look: "Raise your head and look at me."

Luo Qingzhou slowly raised his head and looked at her.

The two looked at each other.

Nangong Huoyue's face was majestic and cold, and she said calmly: "Chu Feiyang, you came into the palace late at night, not for an assassination, but why?"

Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment and said: "It has nothing to do with Your Highness."

"Whoa!"

The tip of the sword at his neck touched his throat again.

Nangong Huoyue raised her eyebrows and said: "Oh? Does it really have nothing to do with me? I thought you came to me specifically. After all, that day, you defended me in the palace and made such an impassioned speech

if."

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and remained silent.

Nangong Huoyue ordered again in a cold voice: "Raise your head and look at me. You are not allowed to lower your head until I ask you to do so."

Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to raise his head again and look at her.

Nangong Huoyue's eyes were majestic and indifferent. She stared at him for a while, then she picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

A wisp of wine flowed down the corner of her red lips, then slid down her snow-white and slender neck, landed on her white and perfect collarbone, and continued downward...

Luo Qingzhou lowered his eyes.

Nangong Huoyue put down the wine glass, looked at him and said, "Let me ask you again, did you see my body when you came out of the ground just now?"

Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then lowered his gaze and said, "There was fog beside the pool. I did see His Highness getting up from the bath, but I didn't see it clearly."

Nangong Huoyue said calmly: "That's what I saw."

Luo Qingzhou said no more.

Nangong Huoyue said calmly: "Tell me, how are you going to explain to me?"

Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "What does Your Highness want to explain?"

Nangong Huoyue stared into his eyes and said coldly: "Gouge out your eyes or cut off your tongue, you choose one."

Luo Qingzhou frowned slightly and slowly tightened the jade rat in his hand.

Just as he was preparing to accumulate strength and drill into the ground, Nangong Huoyue suddenly said coldly: "You can't run away. No one will catch you underground? Only here in this palace can you survive. Only I can.

Make sure you get out safe and sound."

Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said: "Your Highness, I don't want to harm myself. If Your Highness needs help with anything else, I will definitely agree."

Nangong Huoyue seemed to think for a moment and said, "Anything else?"

After a pause, she looked at him again and said: "I haven't thought of it yet. After you look at my body, what do you think can make me stop pursuing it? With my identity, what can I need?

Do you help?"

When Luo Qingzhou didn't know how to answer, she said calmly: "Chu Feiyang, for the sake of protecting me in the main hall, I can give you another choice without hurting yourself. However, for the time being, I

I haven’t thought of anything yet, but you need to promise me now. No matter what I ask you to do in the future, you can’t refuse.”

"Of course, I will never let you harm innocent people, let alone do heinous things."

Luo Qingzhou thought carefully, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. I am willing to serve Your Highness."

Nangong Huoyue's eyes flashed with light, and he said: "There is no evidence for what you say, but there is no evidence for it in writing!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yue Wu had already brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone, spread out the rice paper on the table, and studied the ink herself.

Nangong Huoyue picked up the pen and wrote a paragraph on the rice paper, saying: "Come here, copy it, sign your name, press your fingerprints, and drop your blood."

Luo Qingzhou paused, got up from the ground, walked to the table, and carefully stared at the words on it several times. Fang took the pen, copied it in another handwriting, and signed his name.

Immediately, he pressed his fingerprints, wiped blood on his neck, and pressed it on it.

Nangong Huoyue picked up the rice paper, looked at it carefully for a while, then put it back on the table, looked at him and said: "In that case, I will spare you today. However, Chu Feiyang, if you don't want to do anything tonight,

If word gets out, you should know what the consequences will be."

Luo Qingzhou immediately bowed and lowered his head and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will never dare to tell anyone what happened today. If there is any news, God damn it... I will not die!"

Nangong Huoyue raised her eyebrows and said, "Why don't you dare to say that the sky is thundering?"

Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and said again: "If there is any rumors, the sky will strike like lightning!"

Nangong Huoyue said again: "One more sentence: I will cut off my descendants."

The corner of Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched, and he could only say again: "If there is any rumor, the sky will strike with lightning, and the descendants will be cut off!"

Nangong Huoyue nodded with satisfaction. Just as he was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Your Highness, the Queen Mother is here, and Eunuch Li Zhong is following behind."

As soon as these words came out, Nangong Huoyue's eyes narrowed, he pondered for a moment, then looked at the young man in front of him and said: "Li Zhong is a master. It's too late for you to go out at this time. As for the underground, you can't even go underground."

After saying that, she turned her head and glanced at the bath, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Hide in the water, remember, don't let out any breath, don't make any movement."

Luo Qingzhou did not dare to hesitate, immediately entered the bathtub, sank to the bottom of the water, held his breath, used the breathing technique, and stayed motionless at the bottom of the water.

Nangong Huoyue looked at the petals on the water gradually returning to calm, then put away the things on the table, and then said calmly: "Tell the queen that I am taking a bath and let her come in alone."

"yes."

Yueying and Yuewu both retreated.

Not long after, a rush of footsteps came from outside. As soon as he entered the door, he said with a panicked face: "Huo Yue, are you okay? An assassin just appeared in the palace. The assassin suddenly appeared in your emperor's brother's palace. If it weren't for

Eunuch Li happened to come out of seclusion and found out. I'm afraid that your imperial brother... Well, I don't know how the assassin sneaked in there, but he was only separated from your imperial brother by a wall. Even now, the queen mother is still frightened."
