All movements are instinctive.
She stretched out her hand to cling to the eaves of the palace, but her wrist suddenly tightened, and her body's downward momentum stopped.
Shen Yu raised her head and looked up. The assassin was holding the eaves with one hand and holding her tightly with the other. The hand holding her was unusually thin.
He turned his back to Yue, so that she couldn't see the assassin's face clearly, and she could only feel that there was a pair of eyes looking deeply at her.
Shen Yu trembled, "You..."
The glazed tiles fell to the ground and shattered.
"Over there!" The guard heard the sound and chased after him.
"Go quickly." Shen Yu said.
The assassin grabbed her and lifted her up suddenly, causing Shen Yu to fall on the eaves.
The assassin didn't spare a glance before turning around and walking away.
"Wait a minute." Shen Yu whispered and said quickly: "Don't go to the northwest, go to the southwest. The Forbidden Palace has changed its defense."
The assassin didn't stop, seemed to have no doubt about her words, and ran towards the southwest.
There was no time to think. Shen Yu looked at the imperial guards who were chasing after her. She raised her hand and slashed her arm. She gritted her teeth and endured the pain, and deliberately fell towards the eaves.
There was a "bang" sound.
At the same time as they landed, the Imperial Guard also arrived.
"It's Marquis Du Yu!"
Hearing the sound, the assassin paused slightly, but still headed southwest.
"Ahem -" Shen Yu lay on the ground, propped herself up and raised her hand to point in the opposite direction, saying, "Assassin, the assassin is going that way."
Even though she found a good angle when she landed, her whole body still hurt from the fall, especially the knife on her arm.
The guards helped her up, leaving the two of them behind while the others chased towards the northwest.
"Don't worry about me." Shen Yu broke away from the guard's support, "You go and help."
Such a big thing happened in the palace, and everyone ordered Jiang An to come from outside the palace.
When it was time to check in, Shen Yu was bandaging the wound on her arm. When she heard footsteps, she untied the half-wrapped gauze.
After Jiang An entered the door, he immediately saw his arm resting on the table. The wound was not small and serious.
"Why is it so injured?" Jiang An said.
"Commander." Shen Yu twisted the gauze around, put down her sleeves and stood up. The look just now was enough to clear her suspicions.
Jiang An sat down opposite her and asked, "How are those people doing?"
"It's very unusual." Shen Yu raised her arm, "The commander also saw it. If there is only one person, I can barely defeat him, but there is really nothing I can do with three people."
"Eh-" Jiang An said: "Don't worry too much. Just understand it. Can you tell which technique the assassin used?"
Shen Yu lowered her eyes, pretended to think about it, shook her head and said, "I can't tell. It looks a bit like the Jiugong Sword, but it's a sword. I really can't tell the difference."
"This is normal." Jiang An said: "Since you want to enter the palace to assassinate, you will definitely deceive others, how can you expose your flaws at will?"
Shen Yu said: "If the assassin was not caught, I will go and apologize to Your Majesty."
Jiang An knew as soon as he heard that Emperor Tongxu had no intention of punishing him, and he was indeed the popular person in front of Emperor Tongxu.
Jiang An was also happy to be a favor, "You have worked hard tonight. After bandaging the wound, go back and rest."
Shen Yu said: "It's just a flesh wound."
"Don't waste your body just because you're young." Jiang An said, "When we reach our age, physical problems will start to show up. It's better to go back."
Seeing Shen Yu's face looking troubled, Jiang An asked, "What's wrong? Are you in trouble?"
Shen Yu smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest with the commander, the house outside the palace has not been settled yet, and I now... don't have a place to stay for the time being."
Jiang An was stunned for a moment, "Then Beilin Prince's Mansion... Well, what I mean is..."
Prince Beilin always took this guard with him wherever he went, so it had long been spread inside and outside the palace that Prince Beilin and the current Du Yuhou were somewhat connected in private.
"I understand." Shen Yu said, "I had a falling out with the Crown Prince. As for the reason, the commander must be able to guess it."
Jiang An thought for a moment, but when he went to court in the morning, the way Xie Tingzhou looked at Shi Yu was really not innocent.
Seeing that he still had doubts, Shen Yu said, "If there is another way, who would want to be controlled by others?"
Jiang An understood now that Prince Beilin indulged in pleasures and had no taboos about men and women. Shigure, a guard, had no right to make his own choices.
Now that he has become the Marquis of Duyu and has a bright future, who would still want to serve others with sex?
Jiang An wanted to subdue this man, so he said: "Since you don't have a place to live, why not come to my house and stay as long as you want?"
Shen Yu looked at Jiang An intently, and he suddenly realized what he saw.
"Don't get me wrong. I still have a wife and children at home, so I definitely don't mean it. Besides, I'm not a manly woman," Jiang An explained.
Shen Yu lowered her eyes, "Sir, you are joking. I have asked someone to take care of it. I will just stay in the palace for a few days."
After the misunderstanding just now, Jiang An didn't try to persuade others, lest people think he was up to no good.
"Our front minister also has a doctor. Let the doctor handle it for you later."
"No need." Shen Yu said, "I don't like getting close to others."
Jiang Anxin thought that this person who had been a man's favorite disliked men's touch the most.
He didn't force it, "Then you rest first and I'll go watch the patrol."
Shen Yu stood up to see him off, "Command the commander to walk slowly."
After Jiang An left, Shun Shou came over, followed by a palace maid holding a tray.
"Master Yuhou." Shunshou said, "This is Longcui, one of our own. Please, Master Yuhou, please lift up your sleeves and let Longcui bandage it for you."
After Shunshou finished speaking, he went out and closed the door.
Shen Yu opened her sleeves. The bandage had not been bandaged yet, and blood came out again.
Longcui took a breath of cold air and said, "Sir, this wound is not small. I'm afraid it needs to be sutured."
"You sew it up." Shen Yu said.
Longcui didn't dare to do anything, "I don't know how to sew wounds."
"You always sew clothes, right?"
"Nvhong knows how to do it." Longcui looked at the wound, "How about informing..."
"you dare!"
These two words were plain and indifferent, but they had a sound when they fell to the ground. Longcui did not dare to speak under that majesty.
"Just sew if I ask you to." Shen Yu said calmly.
Anyone with some power would not put some spies in the palace, and Longcui was the person placed in the palace by Beilin Palace.
Longcui had only seen Yuhou from a distance before. At that time, she felt that his body was not that burly, but his whole body was full of aura.
This is completely different from the eunuchs on duty in the palace.
Even if he reaches the position of Telford's handprint, he still has to bend his back when meeting his master. This is because he has been a slave for a lifetime and can no longer bend his head.
"Sir, it has been bandaged," Longcui said, sweating profusely.
This Yuhou was indeed not an ordinary person. He stitched up the wound like this but never uttered a word.
Longcui warned: "Sir, don't get wet or use force in the near future to avoid the wound opening again."
Shen Yu nodded slightly and said, "Let Shun Shou come in."
Shun Shou entered the duty room and said, "If you have any orders from Marquis Yu, please tell me. I said, seeing you is like seeing him."
"Don't tell him a word about my injury tonight."
