C18 (1/2)

When night fell and all the palace maids had retreated, Huai Jin lied on her bed and thought about what Pu Xin had reminded him earlier in the day.

”The weather is going to change in the near future. Princess, you must be careful.”

From the moment it became night, Huai Jin was not even able to stand up, and now her mouth was even more dry. She stood up and poured herself a cup of cold tea.

Huai Jin took out a dagger from under her pillow and placed it on her waist. Then, she stood up and left the Yongan Palace, not disturbing anyone.

Following her memories, she arrived at a small pond in the imperial garden. The moonlight shone down like the moon, and everything around her was reflected in the water, including the figure of a person.

At the edge of the pond was the fake mountain, and with a quick step, Huai Jin turned to the side and disappeared.

The people behind him immediately quickened their steps to take a look. The rocks were jagged and arched in all directions, revealing a small path between them.

The man saw the path light up and was about to enter. However, just as he was about to enter, a dagger that glowed with a silver light pierced towards him. He squatted down and barely dodged it.

He dodged so easily, Huai Jin frowned slightly.

The shadow he saw in the water just now was not clear. Now, when the two of them faced off against each other, Huai Jin realized that the other party was actually the eunuch who assassinated him that night!

The young eunuch giggled at Huai Jin and extended his hand out to make another move!

The little eunuch was stuck at the entrance of the cave. After a few more moves, Huai Jin stopped fighting and went to Ze Fang Yuan's Merlin from the other side of the mountain.

Seeing this, the young eunuch also hurried to catch up. The fake mountain was very dark, and he had already knocked a few bags on his head. After a few turns, he finally saw the exit and was overjoyed.

However, this young eunuch did not lower his guard. He stopped at the exit, took out a pill from his bosom and threw it on the ground. The pill immediately exploded, emitting green smoke.

He knew that Huai Jin was definitely waiting for him somewhere, so he wasn't in a hurry. He took out a few more pills from his bosom, and with every five steps he took, he exploded one at the bottom of his feet. These pills were all made by him, and the effect was a bit worse, as the limited range was only five steps away.

”Are you coming out!? If you don't come out, I'll put some knockout drugs on this place! Let's see where you can hide then! ”

From the moment he met this little eunuch, he had always been smiling strangely at him. And now, there was always such a mess in his hands, and if there really were informants from the Northern Tomb of Li Consort Palace, the first person Huai Jin suspected was this little eunuch. What if he were to hand him over to the empress dowager or emperor?

Huai Jin sneered, then used her dagger to cut off a piece of her dress to cover her nose and mouth, holding her breath, she rushed towards the little eunuch.

The other party had also taken out her soft whip, but because she was injured internally, she could not use any inner strength. In a close combat battle, she was far inferior to Huai Jin who possessed extremely high fighting techniques, and in a few rounds, she slowly revealed her disadvantage.

Huai Jin found a chance to grab ahold of the little eunuch's whip and pulled him over, then turned and gave him a flying kick. The young eunuch's grip on the whip became weak and he released it. He crashed into a plum tree, causing the plum blossoms to fall.

The young eunuch tried his best to prop himself up, but because of the new injuries, his body was now riddled with deep scars and he was unable to stand up.

Seeing Huai Jin walk towards him, the young eunuch raised his head and knocked into a tree trunk. A jade hairpin slid down his head. Tilting his head, he caught the jade hairpin and used his remaining Qi to shoot the jade hairpin at Huai Jin.

Huai Jin squinted her eyes, the dagger in her hand flew out, about to collide with the jade hairpin!

But just at that moment, a fan appeared from the side, directly striking Huai Jin's dagger.

The whip that was tying the young eunuch was pulled out, Huai Jin forcefully retracted the whip, and also retracted the fan into her hands.
