The Killer's Cleansing Manual

In order to reduce trouble, she bypassed the maids and guards, and after arriving at the kitchen, she found a roast chicken by casually searching.

This is the benefit of living in the princess's mansion. A simple midnight snack is as delicious as a feast outside. When it comes to the quality of life, the princess really didn't lie to her.

But in the past, there was always someone on duty in the kitchen at night, but I didn’t see him tonight?

Forget it, as long as there is something to eat.

Lin Shanjuan's brows were filled with joy, and he wanted to return to his room without even leaving. Just as he was about to stuff a chicken leg into his mouth, he suddenly remembered the wine he drank last night, and his appetite was immediately awakened. After thinking about it for a while, he sneaked back to the kitchen.

She looked around in the moonlight but didn't see anything that looked like it could hold wine. She only saw a wooden board with a pull ring on the ground.

An idea suddenly occurred to her: Could it be a wine cellar?

Thinking of this, she tentatively pulled open the wooden board, and sure enough, she saw a staircase leading down, and a cellar filled with wine jars of all sizes.

What else can I say? The alcoholic's natural intuition!

Lin Shanjuan went down and happily picked up a jar. A beautiful picture of eating roast chicken and drinking fine wine emerged in his mind. Unfortunately, it was interrupted.

As soon as she came out of the wine cellar, she saw a masked man holding a bag of powder and pouring it into a jar.

The masked man didn't expect the floor to be suddenly lifted up, and the two looked at each other in confusion for a moment.

"You..." Lin Shanjuan climbed up holding a jar of wine, "Are you poisoning me?"

Seeing that he was exposed, the masked man no longer concealed his identity. Cang Langlang drew out a sword, and the sword reflected the moonlight, giving off a chilling feeling.

He attacked without any warning, and Lin Shanjuan only had time to roll backwards to avoid it, but the man's sword was faster. If Lin Shanjuan had not turned her head in time to avoid it, it would not be the cabbage that was chopped into two pieces, but her head.

The fight between the two was about to break out. Lin Shanjuan had no weapon for self-defense, only a wine jar, which he was reluctant to throw away. In desperation, he hooked a wooden stick with his toes and held it in his hand to resist.

She had her back against the wall, and the masked man thought she had nowhere to hide, so he stabbed her with a sword.

This haste exposed his weakness, and Lin Shanjuan quickly dodged it, then took the firewood and hit the masked man's hand hard. The latter groaned in pain and let go of the sword.

Lin Shanjuan hooked up his sword and took it in his hand, then dodged to his side and kicked him in the ribs. The masked man took several steps back and finally stopped when he bumped into a basket of eggs. He was covered in egg yolk and looked extremely embarrassed.

He covered his ribs, became more alert, and glanced around as if he wanted to escape.

Lin Shanjuan played with his sword: "Are all the assassins here so despicable? You really sully the reputation of assassins!"

The man in black looked fierce and growled, "Stop talking nonsense!" His eyes were red as he grabbed another stool and smashed it down.

Lin Shanjuan broke the stool with a flick of his wrist. Although it was his first time using this kind of cold weapon, fortunately the sword was sharp enough, so it didn't matter if he was unfamiliar with it.

She took a step forward and knocked the man in black to the ground with her sword.

The man in black struggled to sit up, but the sword suddenly pressed against his throat, immediately stopping all his movements.

Lin Shanjuan snorted coldly, "You want her life so badly? You even resorted to poisoning. You really have no moral composure."

The man in black seemed to understand what she said, but he could at least hear the sarcasm in her words and the unwilling tone.

"If you want to kill me, just kill me. Why bother talking so much?"

Lin Shanjuan raised his eyebrows, "Your skills are soft, but your mouth is tough."

She put away her sword and prepared to ask the patrolling guards to take him away for questioning, but the masked man knew that his mission had failed, so he simply committed suicide by taking poison!

Lin Shanjuan didn't even have time to stop him before he saw him suddenly eat something, and then his body stiffened and convulsed and he died.

This……

?

She shook her head and muttered, "How much money did you get to do this? Now, not only did you fail to complete the mission, but you're also dead. It really is useless."

After saying that, she picked up the wine jar again and glanced out the window.

"I've seen it, so go back and report to whoever you need to. Remember to come back and have a drink with me when you're done."

Yue Liu, who was standing under the window, was stunned in surprise. After he came to his senses, he stood up and bowed, then went to Xihe to report with a little embarrassment, his surprise growing stronger.

She was lying in the corner... No, she had been gathering intelligence for many years, but she had never seen such a clean and beautiful move.

I clearly wasn't discovered the last time I followed him all the way, so how come I was exposed so quickly this time?

Could it be that she also pretended not to know my existence last time?

She originally wanted to wait until Lin Shanjuan was at a disadvantage before helping him, but she didn't expect to be discovered before she even showed her face.

Yue Liu thought as he walked, and ran all the way to Heyang Palace. He knocked on the door lightly, and Xihe's faint response came from behind the door.

"come in."

Yueliu pushed the door open and Xihe put down the book in his hand. "What's going on?"

Yueliu nodded, not trying to hide the surprise in his eyes.

"The Prince Consort went to the kitchen to get some food. During this time, someone did sneak into the kitchen with the intention of poisoning, and the Prince Consort saw them."

Xihe slowly stood up, walked around the table, and slowly paced to the side.

"You can ask the imperial physician to take a look. If he dies before the wedding, it would be a waste of these few days' effort."

Yue Liu laughed dryly, "Your Highness, the Prince Consort was unharmed... and he even subdued the man. It's just that the killer committed suicide by taking poison."

Xihe's eyes also revealed a look of surprise, and he frowned and asked:

"Then what are you doing back?"

Yueliu lowered his head uncomfortably to hide his embarrassment.

"I... was discovered, and the Prince Consort told me to go drink with her after I reported it."

Xihe: ...

She suddenly remembered the cocoon she had seen that afternoon, and understood: "I underestimated her. Well, you can go back."

Yueliu looked up cautiously, "Where am I going?"

Xihe rubbed his brow helplessly, "Do you still want to go drink with her?"

Yue Liu shook his head in panic. Xihe turned his back and said, "This way, we don't have to test ourselves. Let's see how her Kung Fu compares to yours."

Yue Liu pondered for a moment, then shook her head in embarrassment. "Your Highness, please forgive me. I don't know. The princess's moves were swift and ingenious, without any hesitation. The masked man was taken down in just three moves. This kind of martial arts is rare in the Middle-earth, and it's hard to tell where such a swift and decisive move came from."

So mysterious?

Xihe's eyes darkened, and he became more curious about the other side of Lin Shanjuan that he had not shown.

Yue Liu was still thinking about what she had just seen when she suddenly realized something else: "However... the Consort's moves seem to be a system of their own. While unique, it's clear... she has also undergone training."

"Training?" Xihe remembered how she easily snatched the dagger she used for self-defense the night before. Her keen perception was still there even when she was drunk.

Could it be that she is really a killer who is taking orders from someone?

"Just back off."

"Yes."

Hearing someone leaving, Xihe opened the window and looked towards the side hall.

Judging from the time, the people sent out to investigate may not come back for another month.

However, she did have some guesses that the results of her subordinates' investigation must be different from that of Lin Shanjuan.

Perhaps, she is not Huang Yue.
