Chapter 12 - Individuals

After changing her clothes and blowing on the lamp, just as she laid down, she heard a sound from above. She immediately jumped and her figure flashed to the door. Just as she was about to open the door, she was grabbed by a large hand.

With a glance, she saw Chu Yi Chen, who was wearing only a black brocade robe, with her hair draped over her back like ink, and a colorful mask on her face.

Damn, when did this old brat come out? Why didn't she feel it at all? He really was an expert.

Only after silently cursing did she feel dejected, only then did she realize that his big hand that was covering her mouth was too big, it even covered her nose. Was he really not letting her make a sound, or was he trying to directly suffocate her to death!

She reached out her hand and pulled his hand down, exposing his nostrils. She then patted the back of his hand.

This meant that the position of the hand covering the mouth was the correct one.

Only now did she realize that the back of this old boy's hand was still soft and smooth. It seemed that he had taken good care of himself normally. However, the hand that covered her mouth was a bit rough and felt somewhat callused.

Just from her small movements alone, Chu Yi Chen already wanted to laugh. How could this girl be so fun? At the same time, she felt admiration and shock at her calmness and calmness.

What kind of mental quality was this? How did she train this? However, she could imagine just how terrifying and breathtaking her life had been in the Zhuo Mansion these past few days.

The sound outside was not very loud, as if someone was approaching. Was he here to listen to the sounds in the corner, or was he here for a night assault?

Just as he heard someone approach the door, Chu Yi Chen pointed at the door. With a ”pu” sound, a muffled groan came from outside.

Following which, he heard a few more sounds. The courtyard was in chaos for a while before quieting down.

”Your Royal Highness, we've caught him.” A soft voice came from outside the door.

Chu Yi Chen released her, opened the door, and walked out.

Zhuo Qingyan followed beside him and looked around.

There were no less than twenty black figures standing in the courtyard. Under the illumination of the moonlight, they were extremely frightening. At the same time, there were three people either lying down or kneeling in the courtyard.

She looked away, frowning. When she looked down at the drops of blood on the ground, her eyes shone brightly.

”Take him to the dungeon.” Chu Yi Chen said.

”Yes sir!” ”Yes!” Those people responded and prepared to escort him away.

Then she reached out and tugged Chu Yi Chen's sleeve, and when he looked down at her, he saw that she was pointing at the ground, and then up at him, making a ”4” sign, and then to the left, to the wooden porch.

Chu Yi Chen immediately frowned, and also made a ”4” gesture, nodding to her.

The two of them followed the trail of blood to the left side of the wooden corridor.

Since they had taken off their shoes and were only wearing socks, there was no sound as they walked. Plus, there were still people walking around in the yard, so when the two of them arrived at a dark corner in the corridor, no one noticed them.

When Zhuo Qingyan approached, she had already grasped a hairpin in her hand as she scanned the area with intelligent eyes.

At the spot where the blood had disappeared, she suddenly raised the hairpin and thrust it upwards.

Suddenly, a black shadow sprang out from that place. It first reached out its hand to brush away the hairpin that was piercing towards her. Then, while it was jumping down, it kicked her on her back.

He kicked her until she staggered, but that person underestimated her. That was because behind Zhuo Qingyan was a black clothed Chu Yi Chen.

Before his foot could hit the ground, a palm hit him in the chest. When he flew back, the kicked Zhuo Qingyan had already twisted her body back from the staggering movements and tossed the hairpin in her hand back.

The man felt a sharp pain in his back and his body slammed heavily into the ground.
