Chapter 154 Murder and silence?
"You're familiar with it?"

Yun Shu glanced at him.

Yun Chuhuan: “…”

In the past, when he wanted to kill the palace servants, he would often hear this noise, and it was indeed very familiar.

However, if he said this, he would be easily beaten by his fifth sister, so Yun Chuhuan smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject:
"Fifth sister, should we go over and take a look?"

"have a look."

Yun Shu sighed:

"What if it's an innocent little maid who was bullied?"

In a place like the palace, there are many people who flatter the powerful and bully the weak.

If she really made a mistake and was to be punished, that would be fine, but even though she was a princess, it was not appropriate for her to extend her influence into other people's palaces and meddle in other people's affairs.

But if not...

Following the direction of the humming sound and going around a small path, I saw a girl dressed as a palace maid being dragged by two guards towards a secluded place.

The girl was almost in despair as she saw the surroundings becoming increasingly remote.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Yun Shu and Yun Chuhuan, and a strong desire to survive suddenly burst out from his eyes:
"No no no!"

“Isn’t this that guy?”

Yun Chuhuan slapped his head fiercely:
"The one we met today, the one following the bridal sedan, the Crown Princess's personal maid!"

His eyes widened in shock:
"Didn't her master just get promoted from concubine to principal wife? How could this be..."

"What are you doing?"

After all, she was someone she had just met not long ago. Almost the moment she saw the palace maid's appearance clearly, Yun Shu also recognized her identity.

If the Crown Princess's personal maid were to say at this critical moment that she was bullied by the two guards, even Yun Chuhuan would not believe it.

But if it wasn't the behavior of these two guards themselves, then it must be the order of the Crown Prince or the Crown Princess.

But... why would he attack this personal maid for no reason?
Murder and silence?

Yun Shu narrowed her eyes. The two guards turned their heads when they heard her voice. They were also startled and quickly knelt on one knee to salute.

But what’s interesting is that the hand covering Cui He’s mouth didn’t even let go:

"I greet Princess Sheng Ann and His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince!"

"What is this for?"

Seeing that the other party did not answer his question, Yun Shu raised his eyebrows and asked again:
"What did this little maid do wrong?"

"Your Highness, this maid is dishonest. She even dared to take the items bestowed by the emperor in the East Palace...ah!"

The hand covering Cui He's mouth was bitten by her unexpectedly, and the guard retracted his hand in pain.
Cui He immediately seized the opportunity, struggled to break free with all her strength, and ran towards Yun Shu with all her might:

"Princess Saint Ann, save me! I know..."

Cui He's cry for help stopped abruptly when the guard behind her reacted, drew out his sword and threw it forward with force.

She lowered her head in disbelief, looking at the tip of the knife piercing through her body, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Blood instantly soaked the ground. Yun Shu stretched out his trembling right hand and touched his cheek, and indeed, he felt a few drops of blood.

Cui He fell down less than two meters away from her.

Facing the long knife piercing through his body and the moment the blood splattered, the chill from the soles of his feet rushed up to his head!

Yun Shu took a step back in confusion, and Yun Chuhuan beside him covered his head and cried out in shock:

"There's an assassin! Come quickly, rescue..."

This process may sound long, but in reality it only took a second or two.

Before Yun Chuhuan finished shouting, the guard who had just taken action suddenly drew out the sword of another guard beside him.

The sound of the long sword piercing into flesh and blood rang out again, and the guard who was stabbed was full of disbelief.

I don't understand why this guy suddenly went crazy.

He opened his mouth with great effort and was about to say something when the long knife in his chest was violently pulled out again.

puff!
This time, the blood gushed out even more.
He suddenly opened his eyes wide and fell down with resentment.

"Get him quickly!"

This series of events happened so suddenly that even though Yun Shu recovered quickly, he was still a step too late.
The moment A Ku's figure appeared, the guard turned around and slashed with the knife, killing himself as well.

"What...what is going on?"

The danger was over, and Yun Chuhuan stopped yelling, but he was still in a daze:
"What does he mean?"

"Silence."

Ah Kun had no choice but to speak for himself. Before he hid himself again, he pointed at Cui He and whispered:

“This one’s still alive.”

alive?

Yun Shu's mind moved, and he quickly looked towards Cui He. Sure enough, he saw Cui He's blood-stained fingertips tremble slightly, and the corners of her lips twitched as if she wanted to say something.

She quickly squatted down, signaling Yun Chuhuan and the others to keep quiet, and she leaned over to listen carefully -

"Princess...Princess, I wanted to...have an abortion today...

The prince... said that he... still has a way to make you... make you..."

She couldn't finish the last few words, and the vitality in Cui He's eyes completely disappeared.

Yun Shu stood up in a daze. Just then, the guards who were called by Yun Chuhuan when he shouted "there's an assassin" also arrived.

Looking at the three people lying on the ground, the guards were horrified and quickly knelt down to apologize:

"I am late in coming to your rescue, Your Highnesses, and I hope you will forgive me!"

"You know you're late!"

Yun Chuhuan came back to his senses from his confusion, and when he saw this group of people again, fear suddenly surged in his heart:

"If that man really wanted to assassinate me, I would be dead by the time you bunch of rubbish come here! You..."

"Don't talk about it for now."

Yun Shu's mind had completely calmed down by then. She deliberately exposed her slightly trembling hand and covered it with her other hand.

When he spoke, he even added a subtle tremor:
"Are you guards from the East Palace?"

"Yes."

"Well."

Yun Shu "pretended to be calm" and pointed at the guard who had taken action:

“Just now I saw these two people dragging a little palace maid to a deserted place, so I asked them what they wanted to do.

The little palace maid took the opportunity to break free, as if she wanted to ask me for help, but she was killed by this man after she ran just two steps.

There was another guard, and he killed them all, including himself.

You'd better tell the prince about this. Maybe this person is not simple and has some secrets."

"Yes!"

The guard leader bowed in response and then tentatively said:

"Then I will escort the two princes back first?"
