Chapter 8 Princess Zhuohua [6]

After Zhuo Hua inspected it, he looked away, holding the lantern and swinging it around. He found that it was a small secret room surrounded by stones. Apart from the big cabinet, there was almost nothing else. When he looked to the side, he saw a stone bed. , with a figure huddled above it.

"It's him? A dog?" Zhuohua looked at the figure, without making any other movements, and asked the system in his mind.

"Hmm." The system said.

Hearing the system's affirmative answer, Zhuohua raised his footsteps and approached slowly.

Before she got close, the person on the bed seemed to have heard the movement, stood up suddenly, clawed her hands, and attacked her position.

Zhuohua was startled, and took a big step back, staggering his attack.

The man seemed to have exhausted all his strength in this attack, and he didn't pursue after the blow failed. Instead, he fell to the ground and gasped for breath.

Seeing that he would not fight back anymore, Zhuo Hua slowly approached and crouched down, illuminating the man's face with a weak candle light.

The man's complexion was pale, his sword-shaped eyebrows were furrowed in pain, his eyes were closed tightly, because he had just moved violently, his face was flushed sickly, and he actually gave birth to a coquettish attitude.

The man waited for a long time with his eyes closed. He felt that the person in front of him was not moving. He opened his eyes slowly, and saw the eyes of the little lady standing in front of him flashed with astonishment and confusion.

"Heh...heh..." Who are you?

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" He didn't ask, but the palace maid asked again.After saying that, she frowned and looked at his astonished expression. Seeing that he didn't respond, she raised her little face, searched for the wall lamp in the secret room, lit it with a candle, blew it out and put it in her arms, turned around and helped him up.

When the wall lamp was turned on, she realized that the man in front of her was only covered by a gray dress, revealing a pale and fragile body covered with scars.She remembered the items in the cabinet, and vaguely guessed something, but she didn't see anything in her eyes.

"Can't you talk?" The palace maid frowned and looked at him.His eyes were full of doubt and curiosity.

"Heh...heh..." He tried to speak, but he didn't utter a word. He could only look at her with doubtful and eager eyes.

"You want to ask me how I got here?" The maid looked at him with big bright eyes, and he couldn't help but look away when he saw his downcast side in those eyes, and nodded.

"I came down from the mouth of the well. I searched for a long time~" Zhuohua said innocently, "I thought there would be some big treasure, but I found it here~"

Did it come in from that well?
A gleam of hope flashed in the man's eyes, and he couldn't help but grasp the little maid's clothes tightly, making loud noises.

"Brother, are you here to recuperate?" Zhuo Hua guessed what the man meant, but pretended to be ignorant, blinked his big eyes, looked at the pale and fragile man in front of him, and asked.

Only then did the man realize the ambiguous scars on his body, and subconsciously squeezed the clothes on his body tightly, but he didn't know that it couldn't cover much at all.

Thousands of thoughts flashed in his eyes, and finally he nodded.

"Wow, are you an assassin?" The little palace maid exaggeratedly opened her mouth. "Then did I break the big secret?"

As she spoke, she leaned forward and approached the man. The man subconsciously moved away and distanced himself.

The little palace maid looked at his attitude of avoiding her like a snake and didn't care, and continued. "Then Brother Assassin, will you kill me to silence me?"

The man paused, seeing the innocent appearance of the little maid, he couldn't help but feel ashamed and ridiculous for his thoughts just now.

Even a big man couldn't get away from him.Why bother with others?
Thinking of this, he stopped thinking, his mood gradually calmed down, and he shook his head.He pointed at the cabinet and made a loud sound, as if telling her to leave quickly.

"Are you letting me go?" The little maid said sweetly, "Brother Assassin, you are so kind to me, I believe you are a good person~"

The man was stunned, turned away, and looked away.

Zhuo Hua saw that the man didn't want to chat with him, and the time in his heart was approaching, so he said goodbye hastily: "Brother Assassin, it's almost dawn, I have to leave~ I'll see you again tomorrow~"

As he spoke, he squeezed into the small gap, smiled at him, closed the cabinet, turned and left.

The man looked at the position where the little palace maid left for a long time, a complicated look flashed in his eyes. After a long silence, he slowly raised his broken body, extinguished the wall lamp, and fell heavily on the stone bed.

Smelling the faint peach blossom fragrance brought by the little maid in the air, the man couldn't help but think of what she said.

Nice guy...?
