Transmigrating into a short-lived cannon fodder, she beat the son of destiny to pieces

Qi Yanzhi returned to the backyard of the Qi Mansion and saw Sui Ning still sleeping soundly. He immediately felt relieved.

He walked forward and tucked the quilt for her with trembling hands, his eyes wandering back and forth on Sui Ning's face almost greedily.

The moment he saw the man in black, he felt an unprecedented fear, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel secretly relieved.

Fortunately, he came to check it out every night, otherwise he couldn't imagine what terrible things would happen.

I clearly want to let go, but there feels like a nameless fire roaring in my heart all the time. This feeling is even more painful than death.

He couldn't let go, couldn't forget, couldn't leave, so he accepted the loss.

But looking at Sui Ning who was sleeping soundly and had no idea what was going on, all his words turned into a helpless sigh.

Qi Yanzhi gave her one last deep look and then climbed onto the roof.

Sui Ning opened her eyes after he left and called Liu Liu in a deep voice.

"Ningning, what's wrong?" Liuliu asked sleepily, yawning.

Sui Ning knew at a glance that it had just fallen asleep, so he patiently told it briefly what had just happened.

"what?!"

Liu Liu was a little dumbfounded.

It finally caught a fish, but almost missed the big opportunity!

"Go and check who sent the assassin just now." Sui Ning's face was stern.

Given the original body's cowardly nature, it would be impossible for him to offend anyone, but it seems that he was implicated.

Sui Ning has a candidate in mind, but she is not sure yet.

Liu Liu quickly responded, "Okay, wait for my good news!"

The stars in the sky are retreating and the dawn is coming.

Seeing that no one came to assassinate him again, Qi Yanzhi finally felt relieved and quickly flew away while the people in the backyard were still asleep.

Early in the morning, Qi Lin had just finished washing up when he saw an uninvited guest at the door.

He frowned slightly and said, "Why are you here?"

Qi Yanzhi didn't care about his dissatisfaction. With a solemn expression, he coldly spat out three words, "Go to the study."

Then, without waiting for Qi Lin to refuse, he strode straight to the study.

Although Qi Lin didn't understand why, he also sensed a hint of something unusual.

He quickly followed and carefully closed the study door.

"what's up?"

Qi Yanzhi pulled over a chair and sat down with a sneer on his face.

"Master Qi can't even protect a woman. I advise you to let go as soon as possible!"

Qi Lin frowned, his eyes slightly gloomy, "What do you mean?"

He didn't think Qi Yanzhi would be so boring that he came to him early in the morning just to provoke him.

"She was assassinated last night." Qi Yanzhi's eyes were deep and there was a chill in his tone.

Although this 'she' didn't say it explicitly, both of them knew it.

Qi Lin's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked hurriedly: "How is she? Is she injured?"

"No." Qi Yanzhi was a little surprised when he saw Qi Lin's slightly anxious face.

In his impression, Qi Lin has always had a dead fish face since he was a child. When his parents died, he also looked neither sad nor happy.

It seems like he doesn't care about anything, but now it seems that he has gained some popularity.

He explained, "I arrived in time to stop him, but that man was extremely skilled in martial arts and was as strong as me, so he escaped."

Hearing this, Qi Lin's brain started working quickly, and after thinking for a moment, he came up with a direction.

He asked with some certainty: "Is it because of me that you got involved?"

Although Sui Ning usually looks cold, she is actually kind in dealing with people. To make someone behind her want to assassinate her, he must hate her.

But she has a clean background and doesn't usually interact with people outside the mansion, so who could she offend?

"What else?" Qi Yanzhi retorted rather dissatisfiedly.

How could the mastermind behind the scenes who could command such a skilled assassin be an ordinary person?

As an Imperial Censor, Qi Lin's position in the imperial court easily aroused the jealousy of others. Who else could it be but him?!

It’s a pity that the man in black escaped!

"Think about it carefully. You have all those political enemies, oh... and the bad love life. I only have one thing to say: if you can't protect her, leave her to someone who can!"

These words sounded provocative, but Qi Lin did not defend himself. This matter was indeed his negligence.

But he also understood the meaning of Qi Yanzhi's words.

Apparently, Qi Yanzhi had not given up after the last "discussion" in the study.

Otherwise, how could he explain that he happened to appear in the backyard of the Qi Mansion in the middle of the night and happened to save Sui Ning?

But considering that he saved Sui Ning by accident, he didn't care about it this time.

"Don't worry." Qi Lin's expression was icy, his eyes gleaming with cold light. "It won't happen again!"

Humph, next time?

If it happens again, he won’t care about anything else. Even if it rains knives from the sky, he will definitely take Sui Ning away!

Qi Yanzhi's eyes flashed with mockery. "That's all I have to say. I just hope that Master Qi can move faster, otherwise who knows what will go wrong again."

After saying that, he strode away, leaving Qi Lin alone in the study with a gloomy face.

------

While Qi Lin was still looking for the real murderer, Sui Ning had already learned the truth.

It was midnight, late at night and everyone was asleep.

Sui Ning flew into the palace.

With the help of Liuliu's positioning, Sui Ning quickly discovered the secret guard hiding in the treetops outside Ruan Qingqing's courtyard.

Almost as soon as Sui Ning appeared, the secret guard discovered her, and of course Sui Ning didn't want to hide.

But just as the secret guard was about to say something, he found that he had lost his voice.

The secret guard was extremely shocked. Looking at the ghostly woman floating in the air in front of him, a trace of fear rose in his heart.

"Were you the one who entered my room last night?" Sui Ning asked with a sweet smile.

The secret guard noticed her strangeness and did not want to get entangled with her, so he turned around and tried to escape.

But he was soon restrained and pulled in front of Sui Ning using his demonic power.

In his shocked eyes, Sui Ning raised a wicked smile at the corner of her mouth, "I know you want to kill me."

When she said this, she didn't seem to be murdering anyone. Her tone was as casual as asking if you have eaten today.

But the more this happened, the more horrified the secret guard felt.

She continued calmly, "But you know what? The grass on the grave of the last person who tried to kill me is older than yours."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "click" sound, and the secret guard's neck was twisted off.

The evening breeze blew, the leaves in the yard rustled, and everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened just now.

In the bedroom.

Since she became pregnant, Ruan Qingqing's sleep has been getting worse day by day.

She went to bed to rest early.

But when she thought about how Qi Lin had come to question her today just for Sui Ning, Ruan Qingqing felt very aggrieved. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Suddenly she felt something sticky dripping on her face. It had a fishy smell, as if it had fallen from the top of the bed.

Is the roof leaking?

"Someone! Someone!"

Upon hearing the noise, the palace maid on night watch hurried in to light the lamp.

With the help of the light, Ruan Qingqing rubbed her eyes and looked up.

However, it would not matter if she did not look at it, because once she looked at it, she immediately lost her soul.

"Ahhh!"

A sharp scream was heard, Ruan Qingqing's face turned pale, and she rolled off the bed in panic.
