Chapter 217 Encounter at night
Late at night, high in the moon, quiet in the city.
Everything in the world seemed to fall into a deep sleep.
Zixi's figure quickly shuttled through the night, passed through the wide pavilion and courtyard, and in a few breaths, the princess's mansion flew out.
Before asking Chu Ning's words, Zixi originally planned to go to the palace, so she said that she would go back after Zi Shi.
However, Chu Ning promised her to take her into the palace tomorrow morning, so Zixi naturally no longer had to take this risk - no matter what, the palace was guarded strictly and was not so easy to break through.
After leaving the eldest princess's mansion, she let out a long sigh.
Helping Su Jin detoxify was a key task.
Chu Ning is a very powerful person. Even if she may not be able to be a helper, at least she cannot be her own resistance.
Saving Su Jin - although it was considered a transaction, Zixi knew that Chu Ning would remember this favor.
Moreover, since Su Jin knew who was the poison, Chu Ning knew that the poison in Su Jin was to deal with her. Even if they would not take the initiative to deal with Chu Huan, they would not be so loyal that they would still protect him.
This will undoubtedly bring great convenience to Zixi's future actions.
Therefore, Zixi was in a good mood.
But this good mood only lasted for a few breaths.
The stars and moon are dim tonight, and the streets of the Imperial City are dark and silent. Zixi is planning to go back to the Prince's Mansion, but he did not expect to meet someone.
A man.
A man with rapid breathing, staggering steps, a tall figure, and a red dress.
Even though the moonlight in the sky is dim, there is no light on the street.
But how could Zixi not notice such a man appeared on the road?
The man was injured, seriously injured, and the smell of blood was very strong.
Zixi paused slightly, stopped a little more than ten steps behind the man, and quietly watched the man staggeringly and walking forward.
She looked quietly for a while, frowned slightly, and felt that the man in front of her was a little familiar.
It was not just because of the familiarity that I had glanced at, but the man's back made her feel familiar.
And this familiarity made her follow without any hesitation.
The man should have good martial arts skills, but he can still use light skills after being injured - but the light skills are not very smooth. After walking for a while, he would stagger and stop for a while, cover his heart and cough a few times, and then continue walking.
Zixi followed him silently.
After a cup of tea, the man walked to the gate of a grand mansion.
There are lanterns hanging in front of the door of the mansion.
Just as the light was shining, Zixi, who was hidden in the dark, clearly saw the messy scars on the man's body. His red clothes were almost broken, and the scars were bloody...
Zixi frowns even deeper.
"Young Master is back." The two guards outside the gate obviously recognized the man, and hurriedly saluted respectfully, then smelled blood in the tip of their noses, and suddenly looked up, "Young Master is injured?!"
The man took a deep breath and said lightly: "I'm fine, open the door."
His voice was low and clear and peaceful like flowing water.
"Yes." The guards quickly opened their mouths, one of them helped the man into the gate of the mansion, and the other guard closed the gate in a very urgent tone, "Go and call Mr. Jin, and you will say that the young master is injured."
"yes!"
Zixi stood outside the door, listening to the sound of footsteps inside the door gradually fading away.
After standing quietly for a while, Zixi looked up and looked at the vigorous and elegant words "Qin Mansion" on the plaque above the mansion, and frowned slightly.
