Chapter 1222: Don’t want to pierce the window paper

The assassins went there at an early hour, but at midnight, none of them came back.

Chu An had a premonition that something was wrong, so he asked his subordinates to send a wave of more powerful assassins.

Bai Zhi didn’t sleep very peacefully. There was no peace outside, knowing that people were fighting outside, how could she sleep peacefully?

Suddenly, there was a noise from the window, and she was startled. She quickly held the scalpel in one hand and grabbed a bag of drugs in the other hand.

As long as the gangster approached, she would sprinkle the drug on his face.

She has been preparing this thing for a long time, but she has never used it, and she wants to use it once.

Someone jumped in from the window and landed lightly on the floor. The footsteps were very soft, but she could hear them very clearly. She never knew that the sound of human footsteps could be so light, but she could still hear them.

The black shadow walked towards her, not too fast, but step by step. The room was not lit, and it was dim, she could only hear the sound of soft footsteps and the rubbing sound of the cloth when the man walked.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and when he got closer to the bed, she even saw a hand reaching out to lift the green gauze-warm curtain.

It was too late and then too fast, she didn’t have time to think, she threw out the drug in her hand, spilled it on the man’s face, then raised the scalpel high, and was about to stab people, but her wrist was grabbed by a big hand: “It’s me!”

Bai Zhi’s eyes widened and she exclaimed, “Chu Yan?”

Chu Yan nodded, and just as he opened his mouth to speak, he fell… …

Chu Yan didn’t avoid her medicinal powder. Ordinary people can pass out as long as they smell a little bit, she sprinkled a whole bag on Chu Yan’s face, it would be strange if he didn’t faint.

Bai Zhi jumped out of bed, called Xiao Qing outside, and asked her to help light the lamp.

She found the antidote in the medicine box.

Seeing Chu Yan lying on the ground, Xiao Qing hurriedly asked: “What’s the matter? Was he injured again?”

Bai Zhi shook her head: “It was dark in the room just now, I thought it was someone else who came in, so I sprinkled a pack of drugs, but I didn’t expect it to be him.”

Xiao Qing covered her mouth and smiled lightly: “Yes, who let him sneak in in the middle of the night.”

Bai Zhi put the antidote under Chu Yan’s nose. A cool and refreshing smell penetrated Chu Yan’s nose. He woke up immediately, but he still felt dizzy.

“How is it?” Bai Zhi asked.

Chu Yan got up, patted the dust on his body, and said with a smile: “It’s okay, I’m very happy that you have such a reaction.” As calm as he was, he can hold his breath and shoot quickly.

“What’s going on outside?” Bai Zhi asked

Chu Yan frowned and turned to look out the window: “It’s the Seventh Prince’s people, they want to arrest you to restrain me. It’s a good idea, but can I make the same mistake a second time?”

Bai Zhi wanted to ask, was it just a mistake the first time? Didn’t he mean it?

She wanted to ask, but never asked, she knew the answer.

With Chu Yan’s temperament, how could he not expect what would happen after he left the palace? How could he not expect that when he went to Liu County, Chu An’s people would be able to find her?

He played a bitter trick and coaxed her back to the capital with half truth and half falsehood.

She knew he lied to her, he knew she knew he lied to her, and she knew he knew she knew he lied to her.

They all knew it well, but none of them wanted to pierce the window paper.

She didn’t think about what to do in the future, but he had already made all the preparations.

And she didn’t know this.

Nor did he intend to speak out before the matter was settled.

Sometimes, just such silence will give birth to many regrets that shouldn’t be there.
