Chapter 262

Chu Yunyao, who was sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes, quietly sat up from the bed, held her breath, and stared at the thin and long bamboo tube.

Miscense.

Not fatal, causes drowsiness.

Fortunately, I didn't burn incense in the bedroom tonight, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to detect such a light smell.

Chu Yunyao stared at the pipe that was retracted quietly, listened to the footsteps outside the window, and tightened her pillow...

Outside, there was a slight knock on the door.

"Young madam, young madam?" The people outside suppressed their throats, unable to tell whether the voice was male or female, "Are you awake? The young commander has a fever in the middle of the night, so he sent me over to ask you to take a pulse."

There was a dead silence in the bedroom.

The man's ear was pressed against the bedroom, and he didn't hear anything for a while. He drew out a gleaming knife, inserted it along the crack of the door, and opened the door bolt little by little.

Pushing open the crack of the door, the full moon like a silver basin hangs in the dark sky like a night pearl, and the moonlight pours down like flowing water, clearly illuminating the wedding bed carved with dragons and painted pillars.

The red gauze curtain was half covered, the bright red mandarin duck brocade was raised high, and the person on the bed was sleeping unconsciously.

The man in black pushed the door open a little wider, held a sharp knife that was shining with cold light, stepped through the door silently, and walked towards the person on the bed.

Standing in front of the bed, the man closed his eyes, the hand holding the knife handle trembling slightly.

"Young lady, I'm sorry!"

As soon as the words fell, the man suddenly stepped forward, and the sharp point of the knife pierced into the bedding.

easy.

The man lifted the quilt violently, and the quilt was empty, only two pillows folded together, and there was no one at all.

Realizing that he had been duped, the man suddenly covered his face with the scarf, turned around and wanted to run out.

"Who sent you here to kill me?" Chu Yunyao stood at the door with her slender body in a thin cotton shirt with her hands behind her back.

The man was startled, "You were standing behind the door when I came in?"

But he didn't see anyone at all.

Chu Yunyao stretched out a finger and pointed to the roof beam, "I'm on it."

The man raised his head and clenched the blade tightly in his hand. His pawn might be destroyed.

That being the case, let's get the job done.

The man raised his knife and stabbed at Chu Yunyao: "Young Madam, don't even want to know the answer in your life. Even if I die, I won't tell you."

Chu Yunyao sideways avoided the man's knife, and while dodging, she stretched out her hand suddenly and tore off the black cloth on the man's face. She was very surprised: "Why are you?"

It turned out to be Uncle Li who sweeps the courtyard every day.

Once when I was admiring flowers in the yard, I heard the servants chatting, saying that these old people who stayed in the Young Marshal's Mansion were all confidantes who served the former warlord's wife Su Wan, and followed Mo Lingyuan wholeheartedly to guard the Young Marshal's Mansion.

That's why the entire Young Marshal's Mansion is solid, and Mo Lingyuan treats these old people very well.

Chu Yunyao never expected that such an honest and dull old man would break into her bedroom in the middle of the night and assassinate her after lighting her with incense.

She asked herself that she had never had any enmity with anyone in the house.

Seeing that Uncle Li's face was exposed, his attack became more and more fierce. Chu Yunyao backed up again and again, finding the gap, and kicked him in the stomach.

Uncle Li took a few steps back, stabilized his figure, opened the window sideways, jumped up, and left the bedroom.

Chu Yunyao followed closely behind and shouted, "Come on, catch the assassin!"
