Chapter 1068 Liu Yue Extra: There Is an Assassin

Outside the palace, Zhou Mansion.

The lights were always on in Zhou Zhiyuan's study, and two figures were reflected in the window. Mrs. Xu, the eldest mistress of the Zhou family, stood at the door of the courtyard and looked at them coldly. She turned back to her courtyard without saying a word.

"Young mistress, aren't you going to give the stewed ginseng soup to the young master?" The maid behind Mrs. Xu asked in a low voice.

Mrs. Xu walked slowly and leisurely, with her back straight and elegant. She didn't speak until she returned to her room.

"He has important matters to discuss with the future crown princess. Why should I not disturb him? Ginseng decoction is very tonic. If I don't heal him, why can't he love me?"

When Xu's mother in the room heard this, she came forward to serve Xu's ginseng soup and said, "This eldest lady didn't have such a temper before. She has become domineering since the marriage. How do you know the blessings and misfortunes?"

Mrs. Xu's hand holding the spoon paused, "Mom, be careful! No matter what happens to my sister-in-law, she still has to go into the palace. I'll just bear with her and wait until she gets married."

Seeing that there was no one around, the old woman quietly whispered in Mrs. Xu's ear, "I heard from the foreign steward that my wife went out to buy a maid, but she didn't come into the house. Instead, she bribed a dental shop and sent her to Caobang."

"Caobang? Isn't the eldest young master cleaning up the Caobang for the prince? My mother is helping the Caobang buy maids? This is really strange!"

Xu stopped drinking the soup, stood up and walked around twice, "You must never mention this to the second person again. Ask your fellow villager to see if he can figure it out, and then come back to me."

Over there, Zhou Lanqing looked depressed, with a layer of worry on her pretty face, "Brother, what does the prince mean? Can you let the prince marry me sooner?"

After Zhou Zhiyuan heard these words, he said, "Sister, I just said this here and forgot about it as soon as I got home. Is this what you, a daughter of a boudoir, can say?"

"Hmph! Why are you pretending to be a sanctimonious gentleman? If I don't marry the prince for a day, aren't you worried about the long nights and dreams?"

"The prince has great trust in me now. I heard someone said that the prince reprimanded the officials of the Ministry of Industry that day, and said that he hired me because I am hands-on in everything and hardworking. I never thought that I, Zhou Zhiyuan, would be where I am today."

Zhou Lanqing is still unhappy. It is the eldest brother's business to be respected. The most important thing is to please the prince. But now the prince has not said a few words to her. I don't know if the prince will remember it. What does she look like?

Song Ruiyang really didn't care about what Zhou Lanqing looked like, as long as she looked like Zhou Zheng, a decent person and not disgraceful to the royal family.

At this moment, all he tried to remember was the appearance of the man in black in front of him, "Who is coming?!"

The man in black's martial arts was not outstanding, but within ten moves he was able to block him two feet away. However, there was an unyielding determination about him that did not care about his own safety, which made Song Ruiyang curious.

I have not made any unjust, false or wrongful convictions, and I have only been working in the Ministry of Industry for more than half a year. The Ministry of Industry is no better than the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, etc. What could make someone have such deep hatred for me?

The probing look in Song Ruiyang's eyes was seen in Liuyue's eyes, and she encouraged herself, "If you lose the battle, you won't lose. I didn't expect this guy's martial arts to be so good! Come to think of it, I have to use some small tricks!"

Having made up her mind, Liuyue immediately raised the sword in her hand, leaped up to a height of ten feet with a single step, sank her wrist, and pointed the sword towards Song Ruiyang's chest.

"What a light kung fu!" Song Ruiyang praised in his heart, and calmly protected his heart pulse, waiting for Liu Yue to get close to him before delivering a severe blow.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yue had just reached Song Ruiyang's attack range, and his whole body was suddenly out of position like a magic trick, and turned to attack Song Ruiyang's abdomen.

This change came so suddenly that Song Ruiyang couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and hurriedly swung his sword downward to block the insidious attack.

Xiaoluzi just happened to step in with someone carrying water, so for the second time today, he yelled out those three words in a sharp voice, "There is an assassin~!"
