The sun sank into the horizon, and the moon was not bright. Dark clouds covered the moon, and it was a gloomy night.
Li Xiao was ordered to tidy up the documents for the past few days. When she looked up, she saw Lord Chen standing at the door of the study, staring at the courtyard in a daze.
She had a feeling that something was going to happen tonight.
She had been writing on the table for a long time, and her wrist was slightly numb. She stood up and walked around the table.
There was a green screen in Lord Chen's study. On the pure green screen, there was a painting of a Yonghe with white paint.
The green screen shone green under the oil lamp, and the surrounding wooden bookshelves were also slightly green.
She suddenly felt a chill in her heart, and she subconsciously looked down at her clothes.
Her light gray robe appeared grayish-green under the reflection of the green screen.
Her eyes suddenly widened —
That time, after touching Lord Chen, she saw Lord Chen's future scene. When she was killed by the shadow monster, she was wearing a grayish-green robe.
These days, when she saw that there was no grayish-green robe among the clothes that Mammy Chen prepared for her, she was very relieved …
The terrible scene of death in her mind suddenly gripped her.
It's this room, it's this robe, I … I'm going to die!
Li Xiao cried out in a low and hurried voice. She turned around and ran outside, pulling at her clothes as she ran.
"Ah!" Because she turned too quickly, she hit the footstool and fell to the ground.
Chen Jue heard the commotion and turned his head to look. He saw the little girl lying on the ground in a panic. Her face was pale and disheveled.
What's wrong now?
Chen Jue stepped in front of her and wanted to reach out to help her, but the panicked Li Xiao pushed his hand away.
He was stunned when he felt the pain in his hand.
This obedient girl never dared to do this.
The next moment, he saw Li Xiao fall to the ground and pull at her clothes in a panic.
With a tug of her grey robe, the lapel was ripped open, revealing her fair neck and beautiful collarbone.
"You …" Chen Jue was stunned. He had seen all kinds of big scenes, but he had never seen a little girl take off her clothes in front of him.
However, Li Xiao seemed to have been bewitched. She pulled open the lapel of her grey-green robe and tried to take it off in a flurry.
Her clothes were loose, revealing the white undergarment inside.
At the end of spring, spring clothes were made of thin materials. The light pink color of the dudou could be seen under the white cloth. The little girl's chest, which had already begun to develop, was slightly swollen.
Chen Jue's entire face turned red. His anxiety from tonight was completely dispelled by her behavior. He reached out his two large hands and grabbed Li Xiao's wrist. He angrily shouted, "What are you doing?"
Li Xiao only came back to her senses after being yelled at. She looked up at Lord Chen and her eyes instantly became watery. "My lord, I … I'm going to die …"
"What?" Chen Jue was stunned.
"I … I'm going to be killed by the shadow monster.
I … I divined for myself that I'm going to be killed by the shadow monster. "Li Xiao's voice was choked with sobs. The fear of death made her tremble slightly.
"Then why are you taking off your clothes!"
Chen Jue's voice was filled with anger. He reached out with two fingers on each hand, pinching her lapel and pulling it back.
Was there poison in her clothes?
"Put on your clothes properly!" He shouted in a low voice.
Li Xiao pursed her lips and muttered, "I … my lord, I'm going to die …"
Chen Jue's mood was also a bit unstable after hearing her words. Of course, it could also be because she was taking off her clothes.
Before the two of them could finish speaking, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Chen Jue was shocked. He immediately stood up and scooped up the little girl with his long arms.
Li Xiao also heard the footsteps. When she looked down, she saw that her clothes were disheveled.
Her face instantly turned red. She hurriedly turned around and tidied up her clothes.
However, her fingers were still trembling uncontrollably and her eyes were red.
She … she didn't want to die.
Chen Jue turned around. The red and embarrassed expression on his face hadn't faded.
He had just taken a deep breath when he saw Xu Ting coming in from outside the door.
"My lord."
Xu Ting bowed slightly to Chen Jue and said anxiously, "I brought the Shadow Guard to Su King's residence and surrounded Prince Six, but … I clearly didn't see Prince Six leave from any exit.
When I secretly went to check on him, I found that he was no longer in the room … "
"Disappeared into thin air?" Chen Jue's eyebrows tightened.
Xu Ting nodded. Under the illumination of the oil lamp, his expression revealed a hint of surprise and panic.
"Moreover, Su King's residence was covered with white cloth and black curtains … Princess Su passed away a few months ago." Xu Ting added.
Chen Jue frowned, "Then Princess Su was pregnant?"
Was it possible that Princess Su was the first pregnant woman to die?
Xu Ting shook his head, "I also heard about Princess Su's death some time ago. However, the funeral was very low-key. As for the specifics, no one knew."
Chen Jue pondered for a moment. He turned his head to look at Li Xiao. Seeing that she was still standing there with a frightened and helpless expression, he waved his hand and said, "Come and stand beside me."
Xu Ting followed Chen Jue's line of sight and looked at Li Xiao.
"The result of her divination said … tonight, Prince Six will most likely come to my residence." Chen Jue said.
Xu Ting frowned. Seeing that Li Xiao's face was full of fear, it didn't seem to be fake.
Thinking of her several divinations, "I don't know if the Assistant Minister of Rites fu will be there tonight — — Daren, how about I go over there to protect Jing Bei Hou's daughter?"
Chen Jue shook his head, "You stay here to protect me and Li Xiao."
Xu Ting: "?"
"I already sent Wang Yi over. He and Wang Hua are over there."
Chen Jue finished speaking and continued, "Today, I discussed with Jing Bei Hou. Tonight, the one lying in the Assistant Minister of Rites fu will not be Jing Bei Hou's daughter. Instead, it will be a female Shadow Guard arranged by Jing Bei Hou with excellent skills."
Xu Ting raised an eyebrow.
"I don't know if Prince Six will go to the Assistant Minister of Rites fu … …" Xu Ting's brows knitted together, almost crumpling into a ball.
"Can you perform another divination?" Chen Jue turned his head to ask Li Xiao.
Li Xiao obediently rubbed against Chen Jue and stood there, as if this could give her a lot of security.
Her line of sight fell on Xu Ting's body. Li Xiao then opened her mouth to speak: "If I perform divination for a person within two days, it won't be accurate.
Then I can only perform divination for Xu … … Lord Xu. "
Xu Ting frowned, somewhat embarrassed.
Chen Jue was just about to speak when the sound of footsteps came from the courtyard. Compared to Xu Ting's footsteps before, it was more urgent.
The three people all looked towards the door.
Wang Hua hadn't entered the study yet and said at the door: "Lord Chen, you guessed correctly!
That sorcerer really came to the Assistant Minister of Rites fu to kill Jing Bei Hou's daughter!
It's really … … it's really Prince Six! "
When Wang Hua's voice fell, his feet had completely stepped into the study.
He gasped for breath, his line of sight falling on Chen Jue's face. At this moment, he was truly convinced by this Lord Chen.
Chen Jue frowned and said to this Wang Qian Zong that he had just subdued: "Why are you shouting so loudly?"
