The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

Shen Runing turned to look at Zhenguo, who was still slumped on the ground and trembling.

"you……"

"Why did you cover her mouth just now?"

Zhen Guo's body shuddered violently, and she raised her head and stammered.

"Slave, slave...slave wants to do the best he can for you..."

As he spoke, his small eyes kept rolling around, obviously trying hard to guess Shen Runing's expression.

Shen Runing looked down at her and suddenly smiled gently.

"He's really a man who knows how to adapt to changing circumstances."

Zhenguo kowtowed repeatedly, making his head make a "dong dong" sound.

"For the sake of my help, please..."

"Please accept me! I can do anything for you, really anything!"

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

There was pleading and a hint of clever flattery in his voice.

Shen Runing said nothing, but his eyes fell on her indifferently.

Then he turned to look at Luo Mian.

Luo Mian understood what she meant. He lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead, then gently shook his hand.

"Pfft-"

The dagger pierced through his chest with great force.

Zhenguo's eyes widened and her mouth slightly opened, as if she couldn't believe her own ending.

Shen Runing said coldly.

"Those who betray their master have no right to live."

Everything falls silent.

The bedroom was filled with a fishy smell that was suffocating.

Xia Zhi hurried forward and urged in a low voice.

"Miss, Prince, please leave quickly. The noise is too loud."

Luo Mian raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, his eyes deepening a little.

Then he said with a half-smile: "Zhou Hui really has some skills."

Shen Runing looked at Xia Zhi and said softly.

"You want to stay and clean up?"

Xia Zhi was stunned, pursed his lips and nodded.

"If I leave, the Emperor will definitely... This is inappropriate."

Chunzhi and Qiuzhi also hurriedly agreed.

"Miss, please leave quickly!"

"Don't worry about us, it's okay!"

Shen Runing looked at the three people in front of him and felt a lump in his throat.

How could it be okay?

The imperial guards died, Concubine Zhao died, and even the dragon seed was gone.

Blood flowed on the ground in a small river, and the fishy smell was pungent.

If the emperor comes back, the three of them... will surely die.

What three little fools.

Luo Mian stood behind Shen Runing, his footsteps silent, and the next moment, he slowly hugged her in his arms.

"Ning'er, it seems our plan..."

"It's time to change."

Shen Runing turned her head and looked at him, with a slight redness at the corners of her eyes.

"Well, it's probably early."

"only……"

Before she finished speaking, Luo Mian lowered his head and buried his nose in the side of her neck, his voice muffled.

"What are you worried about, Ning'er?"

Shen Runing's shoulders stiffened, her ears were tickled by his hot breath, and her heart was inexplicably restless.

"...Prince Xiang."

"I wonder where he is hiding?"

Luo Mian's voice was hoarse: "Ning'er, are you afraid that while the mantis is stalking the cicada, the oriole is lurking behind?"

Shen Runing felt uncomfortable with his breath and turned around to push him away.

"Stop it!"

How could Luomian let go so easily?

She pushed twice, but nothing happened.

"Mian'er!"

She finally became anxious and raised her voice slightly.

Hearing that her tone was wrong, Luo Mian sighed softly and slowly let go of her hand.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to Ning'er."

He took a half step back, still smiling frivolously as he whispered in Shen Runing's ear.

"But Ning'er's look just now was really very tempting."

Shen Runing glared at him.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll really give you a knife."

"Are you willing?"

“You’ll know after you try it.”

……

You two seem to be inseparable, and there are three other people standing here!

Don't care?

Seeing his young lady and Prince Ruyang flirting so effortlessly at such an urgent moment...

Chunzhi, Xiazhi, and Qiuzhi looked at each other, their expressions filled with shock and a little trance.

The three of us were ready to die... but...

Where did you sprinkle the sugar?

The three people didn't dare to make a sound and could only communicate through small movements such as winking to express their shock.

Shen Runing seemed to sense something and glanced back at them lightly. The expressions of the three people instantly returned to normal, and they all straightened their backs, like three dying grasses that were still pretending to be straight.

"Let's go."

Shen Runing's voice was soft, but it was filled with a firmness that brooked no room for argument.

Chunzhi was stunned.

"Where are you going, miss?"

"Don't we... have to stay here?"

Shen Runing looked at the three of them with gentle eyes.

"There's been a change of plans. You no longer need to stay in the palace."

"what?"

Qiu Zhi jumped out, so anxious that even his voice changed.

"Miss, you are not doing this for us—"

"You don't have to change your plans just for us!"

Qiuzhi's face turned red and his eyes were red.

"I...it doesn't matter if we die for the young lady!"

Shen Runing's eyes flashed, and she suddenly reached out and covered Qiu Zhi's mouth.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

She scolded in a low voice, her tone unusually excited.

Qiu Zhi was stunned, staring at her blankly with his eyes wide open, his eyes full of confusion and stubbornness.

Shen Runing clenched her teeth, suppressed the sob in her throat, looked into Qiu Zhi's eyes, and recited every word silently in her heart.

——In the previous life, you died for me.

——How can I let you die again in this life?

Then he slowly released his hand.

"Be obedient and do as I tell you."

"Can……"

Qiuzhi wanted to say something, but was pulled back by Chunzhi.

"Don't ask. If the lady wants us to leave, then we'll leave."

Although the three of them didn't understand what the plan was, they finally adhered to the principle of "listen to the lady in everything" and took advantage of the chaos to sneak out.

The palace lanterns flickered, and the blood-red color in the hall had not yet dissipated.

Concubine Zhao's body was lying upside down with her eyes wide open, as if she died with her eyes open.

Luo Mian took out a slender metal tube from his sleeve, clicked his fingertips, and the mechanism started.

The flare broke through the air and headed straight into the night sky.

A moment later, a loud explosion broke the silence, and fireworks in three colors - red, deep purple, and gilded - bloomed over the palace.

The entire imperial city was alarmed.

The killing game has begun.

----

Zhou Hui looked up at the colorful flowers blooming above his head.

Then he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Talking to himself.

"...The plan is ahead of schedule? Okay."

"I knew it!"

"Teaming up with that lunatic Luo Mian is bound to bring bad things..."

Then he touched his chest.

"The stuff is still there."

He shook his wrist, snorted, turned around and walked deeper into the shadows, still muttering to himself.

"I was originally planning to fish in troubled waters, but ended up being forced to add more scenes early... What a miserable life."
