Shi Wu was just filled with worry and heartache for Shi Li, but when he suddenly heard her ask him if he was angry, it took him a while to react and he looked at Shi Li with a complicated expression.

The hand that had been holding the sword for many years raised its head, as if wanting to touch her face, but felt it was abrupt, so it slowly put it down.

He said: "You must have had a hard time over the years."

Originally, I thought Shi Li was just an ordinary girl, but who knew she was picked up by Qianqi Tower just like me. I immediately imagined her difficult past.

Shi Li felt even more guilty, "Actually..."

"If you really don't want to leave, then continue to do what you want to do. No matter what happens, I will be with you." Shi Wu interrupted her.

He didn't even ask what Shi Li was doing in the palace, or what her status was in Qianqi Tower.

[Anchor, what virtue do you have...]

【Perfect Husband~~~】

[Anchor, why don’t you just tell him your identity? I don’t think he will be angry! ]

Shi Li looked at the frank and sincere Shi Wu, hardened her heart, and then lowered her eyes. She still did not reveal her identity, which was her biggest secret.

The room suddenly became very quiet.

Shi Wu took a step back and said, "Then you should go to bed early. I will..."

"Someone come! Catch the assassin!"

A sudden sound outside interrupted Shi Wu's words.

An assassin was found in the palace!

Shi Li became nervous and looked at Shi Wu worriedly, thinking that he had just been discovered.

"It's not me." Shi Wu shook his head with certainty. Although he didn't dare to say how powerful an assassin he was, it was impossible for him to be discovered after sneaking into the palace.

But no one knew what this assassin, who had nothing to do with them, was going to do, as he actually alarmed the guards in the palace, making the palace suddenly noisy in the middle of the night.

"Don't go out for now, hide here with me." Shi Li was also worried that Shi Wu would be caught if he went out at this time, so she let him hide in her room for the time being.

As for outside, the king had already been alarmed.

Upon hearing that an assassin had entered the palace, the king's face turned pale and he slammed the table in anger, "Catch the man for me immediately!"

The last time Madam Yu was assassinated in the palace, no clues were found. Now there is another assassin in the palace, and the king is very angry.

The guards in the palace felt uneasy and began to search the palace for suspicious figures.

Such a high-profile search also alarmed other people in the palace.

Madam Yu hurried to the king's side and looked him up and down nervously, "Is your majesty okay? What happened?"

"It's nothing, you don't have to panic." The king was very pleased with Mrs. Yu's nervousness and gently embraced her.

Madam Yu also cooperated very well, acting like a little bird, and stood beside with an admiring look on her face.

After a while, a guard came back with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Your Majesty, we haven't found anyone suspicious yet, but..." The guard hesitated, making the king angry again.

"Say!"

"Someone spotted a suspicious figure near Lady Zi's bedroom." The guard lowered his head and reported in a low voice.

The purple beauty is naturally Zhiyan.

The king was stunned for a moment before he reacted and frowned.

Everything around became quiet in an instant.

No matter what, the guards must not search the bedrooms of the women in the harem when searching the palace, otherwise... it would not be glorious.

"Your Majesty, Lady Zi is young, so don't scare her." Madam Yu spoke at the right time, making the monarch look at her with relief.

"Don't alarm them..." The king was about to say stop searching when Zhiyan walked in from outside wearing a cloak.

Perhaps because of the night wind, her face looked grim, but her eyes were exceptionally firm.

After entering, she bowed to the king and Madam Yu, then raised her head and said, "I think we should search it. I will have a clear conscience, and it will also put everyone at ease."

She was gentle yet resolute, and after she finished speaking, she looked at the king in a way that made people's hearts melt.

The king subconsciously let go of Madam Yu's hand and took two steps towards her.

Madam Yu witnessed this scene, and a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes, but she could not show it on her face. She even said sympathetically: "Miss Zi, you don't have to do this. But if you are worried, you can let the guards take a look. Just in case... don't hurt the beauty."

The ambiguous words were deliberately intended to lead Zhiyan into a relationship with the assassin.

Zhiyan heard it, but she didn't know whether the king didn't understand the meaning or didn't want to pay attention to it, so she didn't respond.
