Chapter 39: Life is all about acting

ore, coaxing her with various enticements, "Why aren't you playing That's so boring! Are you just going to stay cooped up here all day How about I take you out of the palace for a drink This palace k..."Hold, seize the assassins! Not one escapes!"

"Protect the princess!"

Suddenly, a contingent of warriors surged out from beyond the palace walls. Jun Liye retracted his hand. "Looks like Su Ziyi has arrived." 。"It's such a pity, they got off cheap!" Looking at Su Ziyi who was getting closer and closer, Su Qingying turned her head to Jun Liye and said, "My elder brother is here, with him here is enough, you quickly take me back to the room, be sure not to let him find out." 。"With a slight tilt of her head, Jun Liye said, "If I'm not mistaken, you seem to be very afraid that Su Ziyi will know everything about you. Such skill in killing without leaving a trace, Su Ziyi should be unaware of it, right" 。"Jun Li Ye, everyone has secrets, I don't necessarily have to tell you." 。Su Qingying was extremely annoyed by Jun Liye's sensitivity. It truly was a hassle talking to this demonic creature, one couldn't afford to be careless for even a moment. 。Raising an eyebrow slightly, Jun Liye stretched out his hand to embrace her waist which was wrapped in the quilt, and silently flew back to the sleeping palace. 。The night breeze lifted Su Qingying's delicate hair, and a faint fragrance wafted, lingering in Jun Liye's nostrils, unsettling her heartstrings. 。Su Ziyi's guards surrounded the assassins. Each assassin was a highly trained killer, seeing no chance of victory, they all committed suicide with poison, not giving their pursuers any clues. 。"Damn it!" Su Ziyi was furious, a chilling aura surrounding him. 。He was careless and didn't expect that someone would actually attempt to assassinate Ying'er within the Qingming Imperial Palace. 。"Your Highness, this subordinate failed to protect Your Highness. Please punish this subordinate." 。Su Ziyi's face darkened involuntarily, and a clear anger flashed in his eyes, "Can we find out who sent the assassins" "Reporting to Your Highness, all these assassins were death row inmates, no trace could be found." 。“I felt the temperature around me drop drastically. The Dongxuan Guard shivered, but he gritted his teeth and continued, “But we found that several of the assassins had a similar tattoo on them. It looked like it belonged to a royal family member.” 。"

"Investigate and find out everything about them!" A cold light flashed across Su Ziyi's phoenix eyes, her red lips tightly pursed." 。He wants to see which royal relative wants to take Ying'er's life! "The subordinate obeys." 。He walked at a leisurely pace to Su Qingying's sleeping quarters, hesitating for a moment at the door. After all, men and women shouldn't be alone together, so in the end, he didn't push the door open. 。"Ying'er" "What is it, Brother Emperor" Opening the door, Su Qingying had already changed into her inner garments. Hearing her voice, she sounded like she had just woken up from a dream. 。Su Ziyi saw that she was safe and sound, and he instantly breathed a sigh of relief. "It's alright, there were assassins in the palace, I was worried about disturbing you. It's good that you are fine." 。"

"Assassin I fell asleep as soon as I returned from the palace banquet, elder brother. Did an assassin hurt you" Su Qingying nervously pulled Su Ziyi's body close, looking him up and down to make sure he was unharmed before letting go." 。Seeing this, Su Ziyi couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty is fine. If you're tired, I won't disturb you any further. Go to sleep." 。"Well then, older brother, farewell." 。As Su Ziyi's footsteps gradually faded away, Su Qingying finally let out a long sigh. 。

She shut the door, leaving behind the guards Su Ziyix had sent to protect her. 。Jun Liye leaped from the rooftop, letting out a cold snort. "I didn't expect you to be such a good actor, even Su Ziyi was fooled by you" 。"Walking to the octagonal pearwood table, Su Qingying poured herself a cup of tea and gave him a cool glance. "Never heard that life is all about acting You can't see through much, Jun Liye. Now you can leave. This place is small and can't accommodate you." 。"Hmph, you're quite good at throwing people under the bus." 。When can you cure this king's poison This king needs a deadline. 。Jun Li said at night. 。atching the man's departing figure, her neck stretched out like an old snake, wishing she could pounce on him.Muttering insults at her own lack of backbone, Su Qingying struggled to tear her gaze from...
