After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

Chapter 540 There is an Assassin (2)

Bai Jinqi's gaze made Xiluo feel a little nervous, but she remained calm and continued to play the role of a weak maid, saying, "Second Young Master, how could there be an assassin in the manor? Will that assassin go to kill the master? You must send me back quickly. The master is now in the library with Miss Jinhua. If they encounter that assassin, it will be troublesome!"

Bai Jinqi's expression darkened slightly, and he finally dispelled his suspicion of Xiluo. Although this woman knew some martial arts, she was definitely not an assassin. Jinxiu Villa had always been safe, and his eldest brother never made enemies with anyone, so no one would have the leisure to assassinate his eldest brother. Then the only target was probably the eldest prince and the princess who happened to come to the villa.

The woman in front of him was the princess's maid. If she had second thoughts, why would she wait until now? Given their close relationship, she should have succeeded long ago!

After this inference, Bai Jinqi's expression looked a little better. At least it could be confirmed that what the woman had just said was true.

Xiluo didn't know what Bai Jinqi was thinking, she was just feeling uneasy. She vaguely remembered that she stepped on the dust on the ground when she landed before, and she didn't know if she had left any footprints or traces along the way. Moreover, her clothes were stained with dust, which was rubbed onto them when she climbed over the wall.

All these details were circling in Xiluo's mind, making her extremely worried. It would be great if she could go back to the scene to take a look, but given the current situation, it was clearly unlikely. It seemed that she could only act according to circumstances.

Bai Jinqi thought for a moment, then turned to Xiluo and said, "Come with me to see my eldest brother first. Since he already knows about this, the entire villa should be under martial law. There won't be any danger in the library. My third sister is also quite skilled in martial arts, so you don't have to worry."

"Thank you, Second Young Master!"

Xiluo lowered his head, thinking about how to cover the dust on his body. Suddenly, Xiluo's eyes fell on the steps not far away, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

The two walked forward, and when they reached the stairs, Xiluo pretended to be anxious and didn't look at the road. She accidentally twisted her ankle and fell down the stairs. In panic, she reached out and grabbed Bai Jinqi's robe.

Bai Jinqi was shocked and quickly reached out to protect Xiluo's body, holding her in his arms. Then, the two of them rolled into the flowers together, covered in dust and grass.

In the darkness, Xiluo curled the corners of her lips slightly. Now, she didn't have to worry about covering up the dust on her body.

Bai Jinqi hadn't heard Xiluo's voice for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask with some worry, "Miss Xiluo, are you okay? Xiluo?"

Xiluo finally came back to his senses and said weakly, "I'm fine, I just think I sprained my ankle."

"Can you stand up?"

"it should be OK!"

Xiluo stood up with the help of Bai Jinqi. The injury on her ankle was caused by her on purpose. Although it was a little red and swollen, it was not as serious as it looked.

It was completely dark. Although lanterns were lit on the surrounding corridors, the shadows were dim and unclear because the villa was too large. The moon had not risen yet, so the place where Bai Jinqi and the others were was particularly dim.

Bai Jinqi helped Xiluo up. Xiluo tried to move her ankle and it really hurt. She pursed her lips and frowned, but met a pair of concerned eyes. "How is it? Can you walk?"

Xiluo was stunned, feeling a little strange. Was her current behavior a little too shameful? She was taking advantage of others' concern in order to protect herself, and yet, the person in front of her was so sincere.

Xiluo sighed inwardly, wondering why she had become so soft-hearted. In the past, even killing someone would be a matter of a quick move. But now, she was just taking advantage of someone, but she was so hesitant and hesitant. It seemed that she had lived a good life with the young lady for too long, and had forgotten how decisive she was when she was a killer.

Seeing Xiluo remained silent for a long time with only a frown on her face, Bai Jinqi decisively picked her up horizontally, causing Xiluo to exclaim, "Second Young Master! Put me down quickly!"

In the end, Bai Jinqi not only didn't put her down, but instead quickened his pace, "Let's go to Big Brother quickly, you can't walk fast enough!"

"I can wait here!" Xiluo's voice began to grit his teeth!

"Aren't you worried about the safety of the princess? You'll know the details after you get to your elder brother."

"you……"

Xiluo was furious, but felt that it was all his own fault. He could only lower his head, but his ears were already red. This time he was really embarrassed.

As for Yu Qingli and Bai Jinhua, not long after they entered the library, they heard the sound of bells ringing everywhere in the building. Yu Qingli didn't understand what was going on, so she turned around and saw Bai Jinhua with a serious face.

"Miss Jinhua, what happened?"

"Someone broke into the manor and accidentally triggered the formation! The sound of the bell is the eldest brother's order for us to gather."

"In that case, Miss Jinhua, you should go and take a look."

"How about the princess come with me?"

Yu Qingli evaded the question, "No, there's no need. Firstly, I don't know martial arts, and going there will only cause more trouble. Also, I'm not a member of the Bai family, so going there rashly is not in accordance with the rules."

Bai Jinhua nodded slightly and instructed, "Princess, please do not wander around. Once this formation is activated, the entire villa will be on alert. If you are not careful, you will get hurt."

"I understand. Don't worry, Miss Jinhua. I'm in this library. It should be safe here, right?"

"Of course. This is the safest place in the villa. There's absolutely no way thieves can break in here."

"That's good! Go over there quickly! Otherwise, Master Bai will worry."

Bai Jinhua then ran out in a hurry. Yu Qingli, who stayed in the library, had no intention of looking for books to read. She frowned and felt very uneasy. She didn't know who the person was who triggered the formation. Could it be Xiluo?

Yu Qingli paced back and forth, trying to calm herself down. She couldn't panic at this moment, otherwise, things would really be hopeless. She carefully recalled what Bai Jinhua had said just now. She said that someone broke into the manor and triggered the formation, so Bai Jinshu knew about it and notified them.

So, that person probably didn't know that there was a formation in this villa, but Xiluo did know it, and they had already worked out a way to avoid encountering the formation. With Xiluo's intelligence, he shouldn't knowingly commit a crime, unless he encountered some accident along the way.

Just as Yu Qingli was daydreaming, she suddenly heard a crashing sound coming from a corner of the library, followed by a muffled groan. It was obvious that someone had broken in.

Yu Qingli felt her heart beating wildly. She hesitated whether to go over and take a look. After a moment, she still felt that she should go and check it out. Moreover, she had a feeling that the man's purpose should be the same as hers, both wanting to find out the secret of Jinxiu Villa.

Yu Qingli walked cautiously towards the place where the sound came from.

Her steps were light and she felt uneasy. She could only try to keep calm by clenching her fists.

At this moment, a figure flashed by faster than her, and before she could even react, a sharp dagger was already against her lower back.

"Don't make a sound! Or I'll kill you!"

A slightly deep voice sounded from behind, causing Yu Qingli's heart to tremble. Why was it him?

Yu Qingli suddenly felt angry and amused. She said angrily, "Okay, then go ahead."

The man was startled for a moment, then put down his dagger in the next second and asked tentatively, "Lili?"

Yu Qingli turned around and what came into her sight was indeed that enchanting face. In the orange candlelight, Murong Yanhui's face was full of surprise and joy. Just as she was about to say something, she groaned and fell to the ground.

Yu Qingli was startled and quickly stepped forward to support him, "What's wrong with you?"

Murong Yanhui shook his head, biting his lips tightly without saying a word. Yu Qingli then realized that his handsome face was a little pale, his forehead was already covered with dense beads of sweat, and his red lips had even been bitten to the point of bleeding. It was obvious that he was trying hard to endure the pain. The strong smell of blood diffused in the air, making it hard to ignore.

"Are you injured? Where is the injury?"

Yu Qingli was anxious and angry. She pulled Murong Yanhui to check his wound, but Murong Yanhui held her hand and whispered in Yu Qingli's ear, "Seeing that Lili cares about me so much, this little injury has healed without medicine."

Yu Qingli's eyes suddenly turned red, and she said anxiously, "You idiot! You're still trying to be a hero even though you're injured. Do you think you're an iron man? Do you think you don't have flesh and blood?"

“Hehe… um…”

Murong Yan laughed silently, and perhaps because of the laughter, the wound was pulled, so he stopped quickly. Yu Qingli took the opportunity to bring a lantern over, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but be shocked.

The front of Murong Yanhui's clothes had already been soaked with blood, and his black nightgown was wet. There was a faint arrowhead sticking out near his chest, and the tail of the arrow was actually on his back. The arrow almost pierced his chest, but he actually said it was a minor injury?

Yu Qingli felt her blood boiling, her heart was filled with anger and heartache, tears welled up in her eyes, but she managed to hold them back. Her eyes only grew redder, and she looked aggrieved and embarrassed.

When Murong Yanhui saw her like this, she panicked and kept comforting her: "Lili, I'm fine, really..."

"Shut up!" Yu Qingli suddenly raised her voice, but worried that it would attract attention, she quickly lowered it. The anger and severity in her tone did not diminish at all. "Do you think you're so powerful? Such a serious injury can be fatal, you know! If you die, what should I do?"

At this moment, Yu Qingli suddenly realized how much she was afraid of losing this person. She had already let go of life and death, but she could not bear to see the person in front of her leave her!
