order, and took Tong Run out of the secret room.

"Your Highness!" Tong Run wanted to say something, but Sima Huai patted him on the shoulder and interrupted him.

"Don't mention it again." After confirming this matter, her heart was very tired, and there was no peaceful time in this life.

"Yes..." Tong Run shut his mouth obediently, followed Sima Huai, and walked towards the wooden house.

In the dead of night, Sima Huai came to the wooden house where he often stayed, and finally relaxed, lying on the soft couch and rubbing his temples.

With a creak, the door was opened, and Tong Run came in with two food boxes, followed by Lin Cang.

Tong Run arranged the food on the table neatly. The warm porridge was served with a few delicate dishes. His Highness didn't eat much today, so he specially prepared some more.

Sima Huai got off the soft couch smelling the fragrance of food, Lin Cang stood aside, his tall body blocked most of the candlelight, and the room suddenly seemed narrow.She knew that Lin Cang had news to report, and she probably didn't have time for dinner, so she waved and said, "Sit down, the three of us will eat together."

Tong Run and Lin Cang sat cross-legged unceremoniously, Tong Run had no appetite, and just sipped the porridge in the bowl, his eyes rolled on Lin Cang.

Being stared at by him, Lin Cang was so frightened that his eating speed also slowed down.

How could Sima Huai fail to see through Tong Run's little thoughts, put down his chopsticks after taking a few mouthfuls of food, "What's the progress?"

"Your Highness, the assassins by the Luoshui River and the assassins I met later are not the same group." Lin Cang wiped the corner of his mouth and said in a muffled voice.

"It's not what I expected." Sima Huai nodded, indicating that Lin Cang's investigation direction was correct.

"The time for this assassin to appear is so tight? Why is it not a group of people?" Tong Run expressed his doubts.

"Concealment methods, assassination methods, and strike styles are all different." Lin Cang said.

"Indeed, the assassination techniques, methods and targets are all different." Sima Huai tapped his fingers on the table subconsciously, the lights were flickering, and his expression was gloomy.

"Target?" Tong Run still didn't know, so the task of assassinating him for the first time was to support him, and the task of assassinating him for the second time was to protect him. He was not directly involved in these two times, so the doubt in his heart was the deepest.

"The first time in Luoshui, the target of those assassins was Chunyuan..." Sima Huai sneered, and he was also filled with evil spirits.When she saw the deep lake from the painting boat, she felt something was wrong.This weird and cold style is very similar to what happened in the past.

"Princess!" Tong Run exclaimed, actually cheering up His Royal Highness's darling idea!

"The second time on the streets of Luozhou, their target shifted to me." During the fight, she could feel the killer's target sensitively.

"So that person has nothing to do with this first assassination?" Tong Run looked thoughtful.

"No, there is a relationship. Their information is shared. But each is their own master, and it should be a cooperative relationship!" Lin Cang answered very seriously, as can be seen from various clues.Whether it is the targeting of the opponent or the grasp of their movements in the assassination plan, it shows that the relationship between these two groups of people is not simple.

"Partnership..." Tong Run's expression became much heavier.

And that manggou snake venom, things started to get complicated.

"I have a guess in my heart about this matter." Sima Huai broke the silence, her eyes were deeply covered, and she lowered her voice: "Lin Cang, do you still remember the purpose of my cultivation of dark guards?"

Lin Cang was startled, and a cold light flashed in his deep eyes.

"I'm afraid this matter has something to do with that 'Heavenly Master'. I set up the Dark Guard back then to investigate this matter." Sima Huai said.

Tong Run sat at the side, and when he heard the word 'Heavenly Master', his face instantly turned pale, cold sweat fell on his forehead, one drop, two drops, three drops... Lin Cang looked at his reaction, Breathing stagnantly, he hurriedly supported him and said, "A-Run~A-Run!"

"Your Highness, this is..." Lin Cang looked at Sima Huai with burning eyes.

"Take Ah Run down to rest." Sima Huai gave Lin Cang a deep look, without explaining anything.

Lin Cang didn't get an answer, so he picked up Tong Run and went out.

Seeing that the two of them had left, Sima Huai had no intention of eating, so he asked his servants to clean up the rest of the food, and sat down in front of the desk by himself.

Only the candlestick on the desk was lit in the room. Sima Huai took out a brocade box from the closet behind her. It was exactly the second day after her marriage that she took it out from Sizu Temple, and it was left by Princess Yuyang.

Opening the brocade box, the pocket watch was quietly lying in the brocade box. She walked to the desk and sat down, took out the pocket watch, and pressed the button on the top. After a full circle, the hour and minute hands on the watch point to the position of 25:[-].

Sima Huai looked at the copper kettle hourglass beside him, the time displayed on it was only the third watch.

She turned the mainspring of the watch lightly and turned it a few times. After adjusting the time, the watch made a clicking sound.

Folding his hands on the desk and burying his head in his arms, he felt drowsy with a hint of drowsiness, blurry pictures flickered in front of his eyes, and suddenly a clever Sima Huai was awakened by a thought of his own!

No, since I came back from Sizu Temple, no one has touched this pocket watch in the brocade box. The hands of opening the pocket watch today have stopped moving, but the clock was still moving when I opened it in Sizu Temple!A pocket watch can last up to one and a half days when it is wound, how can a watch last for more than ten years!I just found out now!What a mistake!

She slapped the table fiercely, Princess Yuyang had been in the dark all along!From the big wedding to the palace, from the palace to Sizu Temple, she has seen her own actions!Why did Princess Yuyang show up at this time after not showing up for more than ten years? !

Auntie, what the hell are you doing!

That's right, the moment she saw the watch, she was very sure that Princess Yuyang was her aunt in the previous life, and the grand aunt in this life!

Sima Huai pounded on the desk angrily. The matter of 'Heavenly Master' has not been investigated yet, and my aunt has come to intervene again!I have organized secret guards for many years, and when I found out the matter, the people I killed could not shake their roots at all. She has seen the ability of the 'Tianshi' a long time ago.

When the emperor's grandfather died, he was 38 years old.

When his father died, he was 35 years old.

When the mother died, she was 33 years old.

Their deaths are inseparable from this 'Heavenly Master'!

damn it!Now those people are targeting Chun Yuan again!damn it!Damn it! The assassination this time is not like an assassination, but more like provocation and threat.Thinking of this, my thoughts became more and more chaotic, and I could no longer control my emotions.

With a "bang", the desk was shattered, the candlestick fell, and under the impact of internal force, the candle flame was extinguished the instant it fell, and Sima Huai stood with his hands down in the dark and silent room.

The patrolling guard stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Your Highness? What are your orders?"

"Stand back, I'm fine."

"Yes." The guards knew His Highness's temper, so they continued to patrol without asking too many questions.

Sima Huai sat down on the ground, finally calmed down after venting, maintained a posture, and remained silent for a long time.

The next day, Sima Huai was still awake all night. She put on the Prince's regular uniform and came to the front hall, where Chun Yuan and Pei Yun were already waiting.

"Mother-in-law." Sima Huai greeted.

"Your Highness." Pei Yun replied, "Your Highness, don't work too hard and pay attention to your body."

"It's natural." Sima Huai glanced at Chunyuan, and was relieved to learn that she hadn't told Aunt Pei about the assassination. If she knew, it would only add to her troubles.

The carriage was ready at the gate of the palace, only Lin Cang and a team of guards were accompanying him this time, and Tong Run was asked by Sima Huai to rest in the palace for a few days because of yesterday's incident.

Sitting in the carriage, Sima Huai was in a daze, but his body was still upright.

Chun Yuan looked at her distressedly, it seemed that this person probably stayed up all night again.Couldn't help but said: "Fortunately, the prince is still some distance away from Danfeng Gate, why don't you take a rest first?"

"En? I'm not hungry." She didn't hear what the little princess was saying, and replied indiscriminately.

I'm afraid I'm really tired.

Looking at her increasingly thin profile, Chunyuan thought about it, moved out of a position, and took her hand.

Sima Huai felt the temperature in his hands, his head became clearer, and he turned his head to show a faint smile to the little princess.

It happened that the carriage bumped a bit, and Chun Yuan pulled her hand towards him, Sima Huai couldn't sit still, and accidentally fell in Chun Yuan's direction.

"Eh..." Sima Huai stood up in embarrassment, Chun Yuan pressed her shoulders, and said comfortingly: "Take a break. If the emperor's grandmother sees her later, she will feel distressed."

Sima Huai thought about it again, and with the emperor's grandmother's temperament, he had to give some instructions, and obediently lay on the little princess' lap, squinting his eyes.

Now she was really sleepy, and she didn't have any beautiful thoughts in her head. Smelling the fragrance of her body, she soon fell into a sleep state.

Chunyuan gently adjusted the wrinkled skirt for her.In her sleeping face, her often frowned eyebrows were stretched out, and her heroic eyebrows, thick eyelashes and high nose bridge could be clearly seen.There is no aura that surrounds her all year round, and only when she is asleep, will she exude a soft aura that belongs to a woman.

"Your Highness, Princess, the Danfeng Gate is here." Lin Cang said outside the carriage.

Sima Huai rubbed his head against Chun Yuan's thigh, reluctant to get up, completely forgetting the environment he was in.
